Objective:
To understand the current situation of health rooms in primary and secondary schools in Jilin Province, so as to provide the data support for scientific decision making.
Methods:
From April to July 2023, 512 primary and secondary schools and 1 432 school doctors and health care teachers were selected through convenience sampling method in Jilin Province to conduct an electronic questionnaire survey, including the basic information of the school, the situation of health rooms, personnel setting, and the development of school health work.
Results:
Among the 512 schools, only 6.4% of the 299 schools that should have clinics had medical institution practice licenses. The compliance rate of clinic area was 16.6%, and the compliance rate of health room area was 75.0%. About 92.1% of the middle schools and 90.6% of the primary schools identified the reporters of infectious diseases, and 90.9% of the primary schools and 85.5% of the secondary schools filed files for students. Totally 73.5% of the staff in the health room were teachers, and only 17.9% were health professionals. Nearly 70.1% of school doctors or health care teachers were engaged in part time jobs, and 60.9% engaged in school health for ≤5 years. In terms of the content in urgent need of training and improvement, the top five were knowledge about first aid (79.7%),infectious disease prevention and treatment( 73.3 %), health education (64.0%), common disease diagnosis (60.1%) and psychological counseling (53.6%).
Conclusions
Health care institutions, equipment and facilities in primary and secondary schools in Jilin Province are inadequate, and the construction of school doctors and health care teachers is in need of improvement. It should pay more attention to school health and work together to optimize the team of school doctors and health care teachers.

Background:
Fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) has been demonstrated to be a predictor of early diabetic nephropathy. However, little is known about the relationship between FABP4 and diabetic retinopathy (DR). This study explored the value of FABP4 as a biomarker of DR in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods:
A total of 238 subjects were enrolled, including 20 healthy controls and 218 T2DM patients. Serum FABP4 levels were measured using a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The grade of DR was determined using fundus fluorescence angiography. Based on the international classification of DR, all T2DM patients were classified into the following three subgroups: non-DR group, non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) group, and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) group. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed to assess the correlation between FABP4 levels and DR severity.
Results:
FABP4 correlated positively with DR severity (r=0.225, P=0.001). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to assess the diagnostic potential of FABP4 in identifying DR, with an area under the curve of 0.624 (37% sensitivity, 83.6% specificity) and an optimum cut-off value of 76.4 μg/L. Multivariate logistic regression model including FABP4 as a categorized binary variable using the cut-off value of 76.4 μg/L showed that the concentration of FABP4 above the cut-off value increased the risk of NPDR (odds ratio [OR], 3.231; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.574 to 6.632; P=0.001) and PDR (OR, 3.689; 95% CI, 1.306 to 10.424; P=0.014).
Conclusion
FABP4 may be used as a serum biomarker for the diagnosis of DR.

Dysimmunity plays a key role in diabetes, especially type 1 diabetes mellitus. Islet-specific autoantibodies (ISAs) have been used as diagnostic markers for different phenotypic classifications of diabetes. This study was aimed to explore the relationships between ISA titers and the clinical characteristics of diabetic patients. A total of 509 diabetic patients admitted to Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism at the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University were recruited. Anthropometric parameters, serum biochemical index, glycosylated hemoglobin, urinary microalbumin/creatinine ratio, ISAs, fat mass, and islet β-cell function were measured. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to identify relationships between ISA titers and clinical characteristics. Compared with autoantibody negative group, blood pressure, weight, total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), visceral fat mass, fasting C-peptide (FCP), 120 minutes C-peptide (120minCP) and area under C-peptide curve (AUCCP) of patients in either autoantibody positive or glutamate decarboxylase antibody (GADA) positive group were lower. Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, triglycerides (TGs), body fat mass of patients in either autoantibody positive group were lower than autoantibody negative group. GADA titer negatively correlated with TC, LDL-C, FCP, 120minCP, and AUCCP. The islet cell antibody and insulin autoantibody titers both negatively correlated with body weight, BMI, TC, TG, and LDL-C. After adjusting confounders, multiple linear regression analysis showed that LDL-C and FCP negatively correlated with GADA titer. Diabetic patients with a high ISA titer, especially GADA titer, have worse islet β-cell function, but less abdominal obesity and fewer features of the metabolic syndrome.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the feasibility and application of enzyme-linked bridging assay(ELBA)method to the pharmacokinetic evaluation of antisense strand siRNA drug. METHODS Antisense strand RNAs were diluted in LNCap cell lysates from 5 to 50 000 pmol·L-1 to construct the quantification curves. We transfected the intact double-strand siRNA at a final concentration 100 nmol·L-1 targeting Polo-like kinase into the LNCap cells and investigated the specificity of ELBA quantitating the siRNA antisense strand in cell supernatant,cell lysates and RNA-induced silencing complex( RlSC). Quantification curves were constructed and validated in biological matrices such as plasma (5-25 000 pmol·L-1 )and multiple tissues(liver,heart,spleen,and kidneys)(3-6250 pmol·L-1 ). The prostate specific membrane antigen aptamer siRNA delivery system with the intact siRNA concentration of 15 nmol·kg-1 was prepared. The siRNAs were delivered into the LNCap xenogrant tumor model in C57 mice by tail vein injection. The concentration of siRNA antisense strand was determined in plasma and tissues 30 min post administration by ELBA. RESULTS The quantitative range of antisense strand siRNA in cell lysates was 5-50 000 pmol·L-1 ,and ELBA method could quantify the siRNA antisense strand concentration from cell lysates and RlSC in LNCap cells transfected with double-strand siRNA. ln addition,ELBA could specifically reflect the single antisense strand concentration instead of intact siRNA double strands in plasma. The quantification range of siRNA antisense strand using ELBA in plasma was 5-25 000 pmol·L-1 and 3-3125 pmol·L-1 in tissues. About 30 min post administration of PSMA aptamer-siRNA,the antisense strand of siRNA was distributed mainly to the tumor,liver,kidneys,blood and spleen in sequence. The distribution profile might be attributed to the target delivery and siRNA pharma-codynamics. CONCLUSION The ELBA method is successfully applied to the siRNA antisense strand pharmacokinetic evaluation,which provides an alternative for pharmacokinetic studies of siRNA-based drugs.
