		                        			ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Ruyi Zhenbaowan(RYZBW)in the treatment of initial and early knee osteoarthritis (KOA) through a prospective multicenter,randomized,double-blind,and placebo-parallel controlled trial. MethodFrom October 13th, 2021 to December 25th, 2021, 240 KOA subjects meeting the acceptance criteria were enrolled in 15 sub-centers including Wangjing Hospital, Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, and they were randomly divided into observation group and control group, with 120 cases in each group. The intervention measures for the observation group were RYZBW + health education, and the intervention measures for the control group were RYZBW placebo + health education. The intervention period in both groups was four weeks, and they were followed up for four weeks after the intervention. The primary outcome measure was the total score of Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index score (WOMAC score), and the secondary outcome measures were the response rate of visual scale (VAS) pain score, WOMAC sub item scores (joint pain, joint stiffness, and joint function), quality of life (SF-12) score, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score. Result(1) Efficacy evaluation. The marginal model results showed that the observation group was better than the control group in improving the WOMAC total score and WOMAC pain score in the treatment of KOA with RYZBW, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in improving VAS score response rate, WOMAC function score, WOMAC stiffness score, SF12-PCS (quality of life-physical health) score, SF12-MCS (quality of life-mental health) score, and TCM syndrome score. (2) Subgroup analysis. ① In terms of VAS score response rate, the response rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group for subjects with baseline VAS score of (4, 5], and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). ② In terms of TCM syndrome score, for subjects aged [56, 60] and [61, 65], the decrease in total TCM syndrome score in the observation group was better than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). ConclusionTibetan medicine RYZBW has good clinical efficacy in improving WOMAC total score, VAS score response rate, WOMAC pain score, WOMAC function score, and TCM syndrome score for patients with initial and early KOA, which can fill the lack of Tibetan medicine RYZBW in the treatment of KOA and make a demonstration study for the inheritance and development of ethnic medicine.

		                        			Objective:To investigate the distribution rules of artemisia pollen and the clinical sensitization characteristics of allergic rhinitis (AR) induced by artemisia pollen in three urban and rural areas of Inner Mongolia.Methods:From March to October 2019, in 3 central cities (Chifeng, Hohhot, Ordos) and rural areas of Inner Mongolia, an epidemiological investigation method combining multi-stage stratified random sampling and face-to-face questionnaire survey was adopted to screen suspected AR patients, and skin prick test (SPT) was applied for diagnosis. At the same time, pollen monitoring was carried out in 3 areas to analyze the distribution and clinical sensitization characteristics of artemisia pollen.SPSS26.0 statistical software was used to process all the data. Chi-square test was used to compare rates among different age, sex, region and nationality, Spearman test was used to describe correlation analysis, and pairwise comparison of positive rates among multiple samples was used Bonferroni method.Results:Among the 6 393 subjects, 1 093 cases were diagnosed with AR, and the prevalence of AR was 17.10% (1 093/6 393). Among them, pollen-induced allergic rhinitis, the prevalence of PiAR was 10.97% (701/6 393), accounting for 64.14%(701/1 093).The highest incidence was in the youth group (20-39 years old), accounting for 46.94% (329/701).The diagnosed prevalence was higher in females than in males (11.35% vs. 10.64%, χ2 value 12.304, P<0.001).The prevalence rate of ethnic minority was higher than that of Han nationality (13.01% vs. 10.65%, χ2 value 6.296, P=0.008).The prevalence in urban areas was also significantly higher than that in rural areas (18.40% vs. 5.50%, χ2 value 10.497, P<0.001).There was significant difference in prevalence rate among the three regions in Inner Mongolia (6.06% in Chifeng, 13.46% in Hohhot, 16.39% in Ordos, χ2 value 70.054, P<0.001).The main clinical symptoms of artemisia PiAR were sneezing (95.58%), nasal congestion (91.73%) and nasal itching (89.30%).Allergic conjunctivitis accounted for 79.60% (558/701), chronic sinusitis for 55.63% (390/701), asthma for 23.25% (163/701).The pattern of artemisia pollen sensitization was mainly multiple sensitization, and the frequency of clinical symptoms and clinical diseases induced by hypersensitization with other allergens accounted for more than that caused by single artemisia pollen. The spread period of Artemisia pollen in the three regions was from June to October, and the peak state was in August in summer. The peak time of clinical symptoms in artemisia PiAR patients was about 2 weeks earlier than the peak time of pollen concentration, and the two were significantly positively correlated ( R=0.7671, P<0.001). Conclusion:Artemisia pollens are the dominant pollens in late summer and early autumn in Inner Mongolia, and the prevalence of artemisia PiAR is high. Controlling the spread of Artemisia pollens is of great significance for the prevention and treatment of AR.

		                        			Objective:To investigate the coverage of qualified iodized salt in catering service units where residents ate out in Shanxi Province, so as to provide a basis for taking targeted preventive measures timely and adjusting of intervention strategies scientifically, and to consolidate the achievements of eliminating iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) continuously.Methods:One prefecture level city from each of the five directions of east, west, south, north and middle in Shanxi Province in 2021 was selected. One mountainous county and one plain county were selected in each city. Each of the counties was divided into five sampled regions along five different geographic directions: east, west, south, north and middle. From each region, one town/street was selected randomly and then two canteens of enterprises and institutions (canteens), five medium-sized restaurants and five small restaurants were selected from each town/street. We investigated the basic information of catering service units, collected salt samples and then detected the iodine content of these salt samples. In addition, salt iodine testing data of county residents corresponding to catering service units in the 2021 iodine deficiency disorders monitoring were collected from the Shanxi Institute of Endemic Disease Prevention and Treatment, and compared with the survey results of catering service units.Results:A total of 660 salt samples were detected, the median value of salt iodine was 27.65 mg/kg, the coverage rate of iodized salt was 99.39%(656/660), and the coverage rate of qualified iodized salt was 90.76% (599/660). The median value of salt iodine was 26.70, 28.00 and 27.60 mg/kg in canteens, medium-sized restaurants and small restaurants, respectively, and the coverage rate of qualified iodized salt was 95.54% (107/112), 90.42% (236/261), and 89.20% (256/287), respectively. There was no significant difference in the coverage rate of qualified iodized salt among different types of catering service units (χ 2 = 3.92, P = 0.141). The median value of salt iodine was 28.00 and 27.20 mg/kg in mountainous counties and plain counties, respectively, and the coverage rate of qualified iodized salt was 88.67% (266/300) and 92.50% (333/360), respectively. There was no significant difference in the coverage rate of qualified iodized salt among the counties of different geographical types (χ 2 = 2.87, P = 0.090). The median value of salt iodine in catering service units and households was 27.65 and 23.50 mg/kg, respectively, and the coverage rate of qualified iodized salt was 90.76% and 95.91%, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in the coverage rate of qualified iodized salt between catering service units and households (χ 2 = 31.19, P < 0.001). Conclusions:The coverage rate of qualified iodized salt in catering service units in Shanxi Province generally meets the national elimination standard (> 90%), but there are still some counties that do not meet the standard. The coverage rate of qualified iodized salt in small and medium-sized restaurants is also not optimistic. It is recommended to strengthen monitoring and supervision of edible salt in catering service units in the future.

		                        			Objective:To investigate the current situation of water-borne high iodine hazards in Shanxi Province and the implementation of prevention and control measures, providing a scientific basis for prevention and control of the high iodine hazards in the future.Methods:In 2020, a survey was conducted on iodine content of drinking water and water improvement situation in all high iodine administrative villages in 12 water-borne high iodine counties of 4 cities in Shanxi Province. In each monitoring county, five administrative villages were selected as monitoring villages using a systematic sampling method, sorted by the iodine content of the water in the administrative villages. Forty non-boarding students aged 8 - 10 from one primary school and 20 pregnant women were selected from each monitoring village. Household edible salt samples and one random urine sample were collected for salt iodine and urinary iodine content test. B-ultrasound method was used for thyroid examination in children.Results:A total of 297 high iodine administrative villages were surveyed on the drinking water situation of residents, including 268 villages with improved water and 29 villages without improved water, with a water improvement rate of 90.24%. The range of water iodine was 0.33 - 803.75 μg/L, and there were 159 villages with water iodine content > 100 μg/L. A total of 1 926 samples of household edible salt were tested, and the rate of non iodized salt was 62.20% (1 198/1 926); 1 704 urine samples from children and 222 urine samples from pregnant women were tested, with median urinary iodine contents of 426.2 and 318.9 μg/L, respectively. The 1 690 cases of thyroid gland in children were examined, with a goiter rate of 3.91% (66/1 690) and a nodule detection rate of 13.67% (231/1 690).Conclusions:Children's iodine nutrition in water-borne high iodine areas of Shanxi Province is at an iodine excess level, while pregnant women's iodine nutrition is at an iodine excess level. Efforts should be made to increase the popularization of non iodized salt and improve water quality to reduce iodine in areas with high iodine levels, in order to control the harm of high iodine in water sources as soon as possible.

		                        			Objective:To evaluate clinical efficacy and safety of topical compound oleum lithospermi in the treatment of mild to moderate diaper dermatitis.Methods:A multicenter, randomized, positive-drug parallel-controlled clinical trial was conducted in 19 hospitals from July 2019 to August 2020. Children aged 0 - 12 months with mild to moderate diaper dermatitis were enrolled and randomly divided into 2 groups using a random number table: test group topically treated with compound oleum lithospermi, and control group topically treated with zinc oxide cream. The treatment was carried out 6 - 8 times a day for 7 days. Visits were scheduled on days 0 and 7, and total response rate and clinical healing time were evaluated. Changes in the dermatitis family impact (DFI) score were compared between the test group and control group, and adverse events were recorded. Statistical analysis was carried out by using independent-sample t test for normally distributed continuous data, Wilcoxon rank sum test for non-normally distributed continuous data, and chi-square test or Fisher′s exact test for unordered categorical data; survival curves were drawn, and log-rank test was used for comparisons between two groups. Results:A total of 343 children with diaper dermatitis were enrolled in this study. Among them, 31 children violated the protocol, so 312 were included in the per protocol set, including 157 in the test group and 155 in the control group, and all completed the visits on days 0 and 7. The total response rate was significantly higher in the test group (87.26%, 137/157) than in the control group (78.71%, 122/155; χ2 = 4.04, P = 0.044) . The clinical healing time was significantly shorter in the test group (5.33 days) than in the control group (6.13 days; χ2 = 4.67, P = 0.025) . After 7-day treatment, the DFI score significantly decreased in both the 2 groups compared with that before the treatment, but there was no significant difference in the DFI score between the 2 groups (test group: 4.02 ± 6.96, control group: 3.58 ± 5.90, Z = -0.39, P = 0.686) . The incidence of adverse events was 2.92% (5/171) and 5.45% (9/165) in the test group and control group respectively, and there was no significant difference between the 2 groups ( χ2 = 0.03, P = 0.865) . Conclusion:Compound oleum lithospermi can markedly reduce the clinical severity of diaper dermatitis, improve the total response rate, shorten the clinical treatment period, and improve the quality of life of children′s families with a favorable safety profile.

		                        			Objective:To learn about the status of iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) and iodine nutrition of residents in Shanxi Province since the implementation of the standard of "Iodine Content in Edible Salt" (GB 26878-2011), to evaluate the level of prevention and control of IDD, and to provide scientific basis for adjusting prevention and control strategies.Methods:The data of core indicators monitored by Shanxi Province in accordance with the requirements of the national iodized salt and IDD monitoring program for each year from 2012 to 2021 were comprehensively reviewed, and the change trends of the indicators such as coverage rate of iodized salt, consumption rate of qualified iodized salt, children's median urinary iodine and goiter rate, and pregnant women's median urinary iodine were analyzed; the evaluation of IDD elimination in counties (cities and districts, hereinafter referred to as counties) was analyzed.Results:From 2012 to 2021, the coverage rate of iodized salt in Shanxi Province was remained > 95%; from 2012 to 2014 (transition period between new and old standard iodized salt), the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt had an upward trend (χ 2trend = 2 703.32, P < 0.001), with a downward trend from 2015 to 2017 (before and after the reform of the salt industry system, χ 2trend = 122.18, P < 0.001), and with an upward trend from 2018 to 2021 (after the reform of the salt industry system, χ 2trend = 455.11, P < 0.001), from 2018, the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt remained > 90%; from 2015 to 2021, the average content of salt iodine was between 23 - 25 mg/kg, and the coefficient of variation of salt iodine was 15% - 18%. From 2014 to 2021, the median urinary iodine of children in Shanxi Province remained at 200 - 250 μg/L, the median urinary iodine of pregnant women remained at 150 - 200 μg/L, and the goiter rate of children remained below 5%. Every year, iodine nutrition of pregnant women in some counties was insufficient. In 2016, the proportion of counties with insufficient iodine nutrition of pregnant women was high, reached 30.0% (12/40); from 2018 to 2021, the proportion of counties with insufficient iodine nutrition of pregnant women had a downward trend (χ 2trend = 9.37, P = 0.002), which was 11.1% (13/117) in 2021. In 2020, 117 counties in the province reached the IDD elimination standard, with a compliance rate of 100.0%. Conclusions:Since the implementation of the current salt iodine content standard for 10 years, the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt has gradually stabilized and remained at a high level, which can ensure that IDD is in a sustainable state of elimination in Shanxi Province, and the iodine nutrition of school-age children and pregnant women is generally at a suitable level. However, there are a certain number of counties with insufficient iodine nutrition of pregnant women. It is recommended to guide pregnant women to supplement iodine or set the average standard of salt iodine for pregnant women separately.

		                        			Objective:To analyze clinical and imaging features of Sturge-Weber syndrome in children.Methods:Clinical data were collected from 27 children with Sturge-Weber syndrome in Xuzhou Children′s Hospital, Xuzhou Medical University from July 2013 to December 2019, and analyzed retrospectively.Results:Among the 27 children, 17 were males and 10 were females. Their age at the clinic visit ranged from 2 days to 10 years and 7 months, and averaged 2.54 years. All the 27 patients presented with facial port-wine stains of varied color from light red to purple red, which were all distributed across the facial midline, including 21 with predominantly unilateral port-wine stains and 6 with bilateral symmetrical port-wine stains. There were 17 patients with ocular choroidal vascular malformations, including 14 with congenital glaucoma, 5 with high intraocular pressure, and 1 with optic nerve atrophy accompanied by transient blindness. Neurological impairment occurred in 12 patients, and all manifested as epilepsy. All the 27 children underwent imaging examination, and abnormalities were found in 20. Among the 10 patients with abnormal computed tomography images, local calcification was observed in 8, and local thickening of the skull on the side affected by skin lesions in 8; 13 of 14 patients with abnormal magnetic resonance imaging scan results had signs of brain atrophy, 9 showed enhanced gyrus-like blood vessel formation by enhanced magnetic resonance imaging, and 5 showed decreased branches of the anterior and middle cerebral artery on the affected facial side by magnetic resonance angiography.Conclusions:Children with Sturge-Weber syndrome are clinically characterized by predominantly unilateral port wine stains on the face, some of whom are accompanied by epilepsy, glaucoma or mental retardation, and imaging examinations mainly show local calcification, brain atrophy, local thickening of the skull plate, enhanced gyrus-like blood vessel formation, etc. Early definite diagnosis and comprehensive systemic treatment are needed to reduce disability and mortality rates in patients with Sturge-Weber syndrome, and long-term follow-up should be considered.
