Objective:To investigate the current status of scientific fitness literacy (SFL) and its influencing factors among Chinese adults aged 20-59 years.Methods:Totally 63 338 adults aged 20-59 years in the status of national fitness activities in 2020 from 1 January to 31 March 2020 were selected as the subjects, and they were divided into four age groups, namely, the 20-29 age group, the 30-39 age group, the 40-49 age group and the 50-59 age group. Data were analyzed by SPSS 29.0.Comparative analyses for age, gender, urban-rural difference were carried out by applying non-parametric tests, and multiple regression models were applied to find the influencing factors of SFL.Results:The SFL score of Chinese adults aged 20-59 years was 53.40 (41.67, 63.73), and the scores of cognition, attitude, ability and skills, behavior and habits sub-dimensions were 86.11 (72.22, 100.00), 62.96 (50.62, 75.31), 27.78 (11.11, 44.44) and 33.33 (11.11, 55.56), respectively. The SFL and the four sub-dimensions were demonstrated to have higher scores for males than females, and higher scores for adults in urban area than those in rural area(all P<0.01). The multiple regression results showed that regular exercise at a fitness facility (20-29 age group: β=0.321, t=5.940, P<0.01; 30-39 age group: β=0.187, t=2.937, P<0.01; 40-49 age group: β=0.230, t=3.988, P<0.01; 50-59 age group: β=0.415, t=5.671, P<0.01) was the Chinese adults' common influence factor on SFL.Motivation, evaluation by those around them, experience from exercising, and convenience and atmosphere of exercising were the main influence factors in the 20-29 and 30-39 age groups(all P<0.05).Comfort level of fitness venue, convenience, safety, and support of fitness place were the main influence factors in adults aged 40-59 years(all P<0.05). Conclusions:Chinese adults aged 20-59 years old have high SFL awareness scores, but low overall SFL scores. Surrounding people's evaluation, experience in exercise, comfort level of fitness place, convenience, safety and fitness policy support are the influential factors of scientific fitness literacy.

Objective:To study the protective effects of various doses of Glycyrrhizin on hippocampus of young rats with status epilepticus (SE).Methods:Lithium chloride and pilocarpine were injected intraperitoneally into male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (with a postnatal age of 18-21 days), so as to induce SE in rats.The rats were divided into 5 groups according to the random number table method: control group, SE group, SE+ low dose Glycyrrhizin group, SE+ medium dose Glycyrrhizin group and SE+ high dose Glycyrrhizin group.Three different doses of Glycyrrhizin (20 mg/kg, 40 mg/kg and 60 mg/kg) were injected intraperitoneally into the rats.The levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 in serum of SE rats were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of TNF- α, IL-1β and IL-6 in hippocampus of SE rats.The expression levels of Bax, Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 in hippocampus were detected by Western blot.The damage of neurons was measured by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and Nissl staining.Neurons apoptosis was examined by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL). The mitochondrial changes were observed under transmission electron microscopy.One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey post-hoc test was used for statistical analysis. Results:Compared to the control group, TNF-α[(369.69±58.07) ng/L vs. (75.46±14.64) ng/L], IL-1β[(242.27±25.23) ng/L vs. (45.29±5.90) ng/L] and IL-6[(288.15±24.60) ng/L vs. (46.59±8.80) ng/L] in the serum of SE rats were significantly up-regulated(all P<0.05). Compared to SE group, low, medium and high doses Glycyrrhizin could effectively reduce the levels of TNF-α[(216.67±8.31) ng/L, (158.81±5.03) ng/L and (113.69±12.54) ng/L vs. (369.69±58.07) ng/L], IL-1β[(131.21±5.50) ng/L, (86.60±7.79) ng/L and (65.06±4.39) ng/L vs. (242.27±25.23) ng/L] and IL-6[(150.24±9.48) ng/L, (101.70±5.85) ng/L and (91.60±2.81) ng/L vs. (288.15±24.60) ng/L] released in serum after SE occurred (all P<0.05). The neuronal damage, loss, apoptosis and mitochondrial damage were found in the hippocampus of SE rats.Glycyrrhizin could ameliorate these symptoms.Compared to the control group, Bax levels(0.57±0.01 vs. 0.14±0.01)and Caspase-3 levels(0.54±0.00 vs. 0.11±0.01)in the hippocampus of SE rats were markedly increased, while Bcl-2 levels(0.27±0.01 vs. 0.57±0.02)were decreased(all P<0.05). Compared to the SE group, low, medium and high doses Glycyrrhizin could effectively reduce the levels of Bax(0.51±0.02, 0.45±0.03 and 0.40±0.02 vs. 0.57±0.01)and Caspase-3(0.47±0.02, 0.42±0.02 and 0.37±0.01 vs. 0.54±0.00), and increase the levels of Bcl-2(0.41±0.02, 0.45±0.02 and 0.51±0.01 vs. 0.27±0.01)(all P<0.05). Conclusions:Glycyrrhizin can effectively protect the hippocampus of young rats with SE.

Objective:
To establish an experimental model of Turner′s tooth caused by trauma in SD rats and observe its surface by scanning electronic microscopes(SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometry(EDS) was performed.
Methods:
40 SD rats aged one day were randomly divided into four groups(n=10). The control group did nothing, The experimental group was exerted different perpendicular forces(per 5 mm2) on the mandibular anterior alveolar process, which was divided into 5 N force group, 10 N force group and 15 N force group. The SD rats were killed at 30 days old to observe the enamel development of their mandibular central incisors. Meanwhile, SEM and EDS were used to observe normal enamel area and enamel hypoplasia area.
Results:
The control group: all teeth erupted; all enamels developed well. 5 N force group: all teeth erupted; the occurrence rate of enamel hypoplasia was 10%(2 teeth had enamel discoloration). 10 N force group: 1 tooth unerupted; the occurrence rate of enamel hypoplasia was 80%(12 teeth had enamel discoloration and 4 had enamel defects). 15 N force group: 7 teeth unerupted, the occurrence rate of enamel hypoplasia was 60%(3 teeth had enamel discoloration and 9 had enamel defects). There was a statistic difference in the number of unerupted teeth between group 10 N force group and 15 N force group(P<0.05). Under SEM, cracks and rough appeared on the surface of enamel. EDS showed that the Ca and P content in enamel hypoplasia was lower than that in the normal enamel area(P<0.05).
Conclusion
Tooth trauma can lead to enamel hypoplasia and unerupted teeth. The force of 10 N per 5 mm2is better to establish an experimental model of Turner′s tooth caused by trauma in SD rats. The surface enamel of Turner′s tooth caused by trauma is rough, uneven and the content of calcium and phosphorus decreases.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features of patients with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis misdiagnosed as mental disorder, improve the early diagnosis rate and reduce misdiagnosis.Methods:The clinical data of patients with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis diagnosed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from 2012 to 2018 were collected. Patients misdiagnosed as mental disorders were screened out. Their psychiatric symptom characteristics, disease course characteristics, imaging and laboratory findings, treatment and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 121 cases of anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis were collected, and 43 cases of mental disorders were screened out. Sixteen of the 43 patients (37.2%) had prodromal symptoms, and all the patients had psychiatric behavioral abnormalities (100%), including 32 cases (74.4%) of seizures, 13 cases (30.2%) of decreased level of consciousness, 21 cases (48.8%) of involuntary movements, 15 cases (34.9%) of decreased memory, 8 cases (18.6%) of speech dysfunction, and 8 cases (18.6%) of other neurological symptoms (central hyperventilation, autonomic dysfunction). Memory loss was observed in 15 cases (34.9%), speech dysfunction in 8 cases (18.6%), other neurological symptoms (central hypoventilation, autonomic dysfunction) in 8 cases (18.6%), and various symptoms may appear simultaneously or successively in the same patient. Thirty-eight cases had complete resolution of symptoms or only minor physical impairment, and 5 cases had recurrent admissions with mental abnormalities and seizures. The recurrence rate accounted for 11.6% (5/43).Conclusions:The clinical manifestations of anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis are complex and varied. Most of them have mental behavior abnormalities as the first symptom, which is easily misdiagnosed as mental disorder and delayed treatment will lead to prolonged disease course and poor prognosis.

Objective:To establish a dental fluorosis model of SD rats with various degrees, to observe the microstructures of enamel samples under scanning electron microscope and to clarify the changes of enamel microstructures with various degrees of dental fluorosis, so as to provide clinical reference for the treatment of patients with moderate and severe dental fluorosis.Methods:Thirty male SD rats (6 weeks of age) were randomly divided into 3 groups with 10 rats in each group. The control group was fed with deionized water without fluoride, the low fluoride group was fed with 50 mg/L NaF deionized water and the high fluoride group was fed with 100 mg/L NaF deionized water in order to establish the dental fluorosis model of rats. After feeding for 6 weeks, the rats were sacrificed and the mandibular incisor teeth were collected and recorded. The surface and sagittal plane of each tooth were observed by scanning electron microscopy and the enamel thickness was measured.Results:In the control group, the enamel color was brown yellow. Enamel color discoloration occurred both in low-fluoride group and high-fluoride group. The enamel color in low-fluoride group was mostly yellow and white striped while in high-fluoride group was mostly chalky white. Under electronic microscope, the enamel rods were alternately arranged and their structure was clear and plump in the control group. The enamel rods of moderate fluorosis were arranged in a straight orientation like tips of bamboo shoots. The enamel rods of severe fluorosis, however, became thinner and the tips of rods were broken. In the control group, sagittal images of enamel turned out to be a dense outer structure with clear boundaries among the inner. The structure of the middle layer was reticulated showing a clear boundary with middle and outer layers. The structure of enamel rods in the inner layers was arranged vertically and horizontally. In the moderate fluorosis group, the outer layer of the enamel became thinner and the middle layer disappeared although the boundary between the outer and middle layers was still clear. In the inner layer, the vertically arranged enamel rods seemed still clear, however the horizontal enamel rods disappeared. In the severe fluorosis group, the outer layer could not be traced. The middle layer was exposed to the air and the inner enamel rods contracted. The inner layers of the enamel had gradually become thinner with the development of the dental fluorosis. The thicknesses of inner layers in control, moderate and the severe groups were (180.71 ±7.01), (157.10 ±11.04) and (121.10 ±12.56) μm respectively. As for the thicknesses of the full layers in the above mentioned three groups, the same trend was observed. The thicknesses, in order of the severity of dental fluorosis, were (241.54 ±7.76), (207.42 ±14.36) and (143.79 ±14.60) μm. Conclusions:With the development of dental fluorosis, the outer enamel layers became thinner or disappeared and the inner enamel layers became thinner or lost its normal structure as well. It is highly recommended that the resin penetration could be used for the proper treatment of moderate and severe dental fluorosis and the strong bleaching and the micro-grinding should be used cautiously.

Objective:To investigate the recovery of patients with acute thallium poisoning after 9 years.Methods:A group of 14 patients with familial thallium poisoning who were admitted to our hospital in 2010 were followed up for 9 years.Results:Among the 14 patients with acute thallium poisoning, one patient died on the 14th day after poisoning, and all the other survivors were followed up 9 years later. The general condition of all the patients was significantly better than that of poisoning 9 years ago. The alopecia of all cases disappeared, the newborn hair grew normally, without gastrointestinal symptoms, numbness, pain in the limbs and mental symptoms. All the patients returned to normal intelligence and physical strength and had a normal life. One patient (No. 5) gave birth to 2 children successively after discharge. The first child was 6 years old and the second child was 2 years old. Both growth and intelligence were not different from those of the same age. Currently, the third pregnancy was more than 7 months. No.6 and No.10 patients were poisoned in their teenage and were currently all studying in university. No.6 patient suffered from Hashimoto's thyroiditis 7 years after poisoning, and he has been taking thiamazole tablets for two years. Poisoned infants, No.7, 8 ,11 and 12, were school-age children with normal growth, mental development and excellent academic performance. Among the 13 surviving patients, blood and urine samples from No. 1, No. 3, and No. 4 patients were collected, and no thallium concentration was detected, and biochemical examina-tion and neurological examination were all normal.Conclusions:Patients with acute thallium poisoning have a favorable prognosis according to the follow-up after 9 years. All patients have no obvious sequelae and have normal labor ability. Young women have normal fertility, and children have normal growth and mental development.

Objective:To investigate therole of serum amylase elevation in the evaluation of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) patients and the related factors affecting serum amylase (AMS) levels in patients with diabetic ketoacidosis.Methods:A total of 249 patients with DKA who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from November 2011 to August 2018 were selected for this retrospective study. The patients were divided into the normal group ( n=176) and the elevated group ( n=73) according to the AMS level measured by fasting venous blood samples. The enumeration data such as sex, type of DM, diabetic vascular complications, number of deaths, number of ICU monitoring, and number of acute pancreatitis (AP) after discharge were analyzed by chi-square test or Fisher test, and the measurement data such as age, pH, HbA1c, CO 2CP, Ca 2+, BUN, and Scr were analyzed by independent sample t test to compare the difference between the two groups. Results:The intensive care unit (ICU) monitoring rate was 50.7%, the median length of stay in ICU was 4 days, the median length of hospital stay was 14 days, and the median treatment cost was 28 000 yuan, which were higher in the elevated group than those in the normal group ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in mortality, AP during hospitalization, and the probability of AP after discharge between the elevated group and the normal group ( P>0.05). The duration of diabetes, the number of previous DKA, the incidence of diabetic vascular complications, HbA1c, pH, BUN, and Scr in the elevated group were all higher than those in the normal group ( P<0.01 or P<0.05). Conclusions:DKA patients with elevated AMS are more likely to be admitted to ICU, and the length of stay in ICU, total length of hospital stay and total cost of treatment are all increased. Where as the overall mortality rate during hospitalization and the likelihood of AP after discharge are not increased.
