Objective:To analyze the iodine nutrition status of children aged 8 to 10 years in Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2021.Methods:A multi-stage stratified sampling method was used to select non-residential children aged 8 to 10 years from 90 counties in Zhejiang Province. A total of 114 103 children were included in the study from 2016 to 2021. Direct titration method and arsenic-cerium catalytic spectrophotometry were used to detect salt iodine content and urinary iodine level, respectively, to evaluate the iodine nutritional status of children. Ultrasound was used to detect thyroid volume and analyze the current prevalence of goiter in school-age children.Results:The age of 114 103 children was (9.04 ± 0.81) years old, with 50.0% of (57 083) boys. The median of iodine content M ( Q1, Q3) in children's household salt was 23.00 (19.80, 25.20) mg/kg, including 17 242 non-iodized salt, 6 173 unqualified iodized salt, and 90 688 qualified iodized salt. The coverage rate of iodized salt was 84.89%, and the coverage rate of qualified iodized salt was 79.48%. The proportion of non-iodized salt increased from 11.85% in 2016 to 16.04% in 2021 ( χ 2trend=111.427, P<0.001). The median of urinary iodine concentration M ( Q1, Q3) in children was 182.50 (121.00, 261.00) μg/L, among which the proportions of iodine deficiency, iodine suitability, iodine over suitability, and iodine excess were 17.25% (19 686 cases), 39.21% (44 745 cases), 26.85% (30 638 cases), and 16.68% (19 034 cases), respectively. The median of urinary iodine concentration in children in inland areas [ M ( Q1, Q3): 190.90 (128.80, 269.00) μg/L] was significantly higher than that in children in coastal areas [ M ( Q1, Q3): 173.00 (113.00, 250.30) μg/L] ( P<0.001). From 2016 to 2021, a total of 39 134 ultrasound examinations were conducted, and 1 229 cases of thyroid enlargement were detected. The goiter rate was 3.14% (95% CI: 2.97%-3.32%). The incidence of goiter in children in coastal areas [3.45% (95% CI: 3.19%-3.72%), 641/18 604] was higher than that in children in inland areas [2.86% (95% CI: 2.64%-3.10%), 588/20 530] ( P=0.001). Conclusion:From 2016 to 2021, the iodine nutrition level of children aged 8-10 years in Zhejiang Province is generally suitable, and the rate of goiter in children meets the limit of iodine deficiency disease elimination standards.

Background::Gastric cancer (GC), a malignant tumor with poor prognosis, is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide; consequently, identifying novel therapeutic targets is crucial for its corresponding treatment. NUF2, a component of the NDC80 kinetochore complex, promotes cancer progression in multiple malignancies. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the potential of NUF2 as a therapeutic target to inhibit GC progression. Methods::Clinical samples were obtained from patients who underwent radical resection of GC at Lanzhou University Second Hospital from 2016 to 2021. Cell count assays, colony formation assays, and cell-derived xenotransplantation (CDX) models were used to determine the effects of NUF2 on GC progression. Flow cytometry was used to detect the effect of NUF2 or quercetin on cell cycle progression and apoptosis. A live-cell time-lapse imaging assay was performed to determine the effect of NUF2 on the regulation of mitotic progression. Transcriptomics was used to investigate the NUF2-associated molecular mechanisms. Virtual docking and microscale thermophoresis were used to identify NUF2 inhibitors. Finally, CDX, organoid, and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models were used to examine the efficacy of the NUF2 inhibitor in GC. Results::NUF2 expression was significantly increased in GC and was negatively correlated with prognosis. The deletion of NUF2 suppressed GC progression both in vivo and in vitro. NUF2 significantly regulated the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, promoted G2/M phase transition, and inhibited apoptosis in GC cells. Additionally, quercetin was identified as a selective NUF2 inhibitor with low toxicity that significantly suppressed tumor growth in GC cells, organoids, CDX, and PDX models. Conclusions::Collectively, NUF2-mediated G2/M phase transition and apoptosis inhibition promoted GC progression; additionally, NUF2 inhibitors exhibited potent anti-GC activity. This study provides a new strategy for targeting NUF2 to suppress GC progression in clinical settings.

Objective To explore the mediating effect of triglyceride-glucose(TyG)index on the risk of proteinuria in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods 734 patients with T2DM who underwent routine physical examination in Quyang Road Community Health Service Center,Shanghai from March 2023 to May 2023 were enrolled.The results of basic information,biochemical indicators,abdominal ultrasound and other results were collected.All patients were divided into the normal group,microproteinuria group,and massiveproteinuria group,and stratification analyses were underwent according to glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c),body mass index(BMI),TyG index,and presence or absence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD).Factors affecting proteinuria in T2DM patients were analyzed.Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the impact of TyG index and NAFLD on proteinuria in type 2 diabetes population.Regression coefficient sequential test was used to analyze whether TyG mediates NAFLD associated proteinuria.Results There were statistically significant differences in age,BMI,urinary creatinine,HbA1c,TyG index,etc.among the normal group,microproteinuria group,and massiveproteinuria group(all P＜0.05);there was no statistically significant difference in gender among the three groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that taking the HbA1c＜7％and BMI＜24 kg/m2 group as a reference,the patients with HbA1c≥7％and BMI≥24 kg/m2 had the highest risk of proteinuria(P=0.022),followed by the HbA1c≥7％and BMI＜24 kg/m2 group(P=0.039).Taking the TyG index(7.65-8.69)as a reference,the risk of proteinuria in the(9.45-11.90)group was 3.321 times(P＜0.001).The mediation effect analysis showed that the TyG mediated NAFLD associated proteinuria(P＜0.001),with the mediation effect accounting for 55.70％of the total effect.Conclusion TyG index may be an independent risk factor for proteinuria in patients with T2DM,and the prevalence of proteinuria is high in patients with poor control in HbA1c and excessive BMI,and TyG may partially mediate the risk of proteinuria in patients with T2DM.

Objective:To analyze the compliance with enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol in geriatric patients with fresh fracture.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on the data of the patients with fresh extremity fracture which had been included in the ERAS perioperative protocol database during May 2019 and January 2022 at Department of Orthopaedic Trauma, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital. The patients ≥65 years were selected as a study group which was matched by a control group of the patients < 65 years in sex, fracture type and date frame of hospitalization at a ratio of 1∶1. The 2 groups were compared in the compliance with the 14 ERAS core perioperative elements.Results:The study group and the control group each included 66 patients who were matched in sex and fracture type. 62.1% (41/66) of the patients in the study group had combined diseases, significantly more than that [16.7% (11/66)] in the control group( P<0.001). Altogether, the compliance with the 14 ERAS core perioperative elements was 78.6 (71.4, 85.7) % in both groups, showing no significant difference between them ( P>0.05). Respectively, the compliance with the postoperative oral intake in the study group (80.3%, 53/66) was significantly lower than that in the control group (92.4%, 61/66) ( P<0.05); the compliance with the other 13 elements showed no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The ERAS perioperative protocol can be carried out smoothly in geriatric patients with fresh fracture whose compliance may be comparable to that of the none-elderly patients.

Objective:To compare the outcomes of isolated Mason type Ⅱ radial head fracture between operative and non-operative treatments.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of patients who had been treated for isolated Mason type Ⅱ radial head fracture either operatively or nonoperatively at Department of Trauma and Orthopaedics, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2017 to October 2020. The patients were divided into a non-operative group and an operative group according to their treatment method. After 1:1 propensity score matching method was used to match the patients in the 2 groups, a total of 58 pairs of patients were successfully matched. In the operative group, there were 24 males and 34 females with a mean age of (40±14) years and a body mass index of (23.7±3.4) kg/m 2; in the non-operative group, there were 22 males and 36 females with a mean age of (42±13) years and a body mass index of (23.5±3.9) kg/m 2. Elbow flexion-extension, forearm rotation, Mayo elbow performance score (MEPS), Quick-disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (q-DASH) score and complications were compared between the 2 groups. Results:There was no significant difference in the baseline data between the 2 groups, indicating comparability ( P>0.05). All the patients were followed up for (24±9) months. At the last follow up in the operative and the non-operative groups, respectively, the elbow flexion-extension was 134° (132°, 136°) and 134°(131°, 136°), the forearm rotation 176° (174°, 179°) and 178° (175°, 179°), the MEPS 100 (100, 100) and 100 (100, 100), the q-DASH score 0 (0, 0) and 0 (0, 0), showing no significant differences between the 2 groups in the above items ( P>0.05). Elbow pain was reported respectively in 4 (6.9%) and 6 (10.3%) patients in the operative and non-operative groups, showing no significant difference between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The outcomes of operative and non-operative treatments of isolated Mason type Ⅱ radial head fracture are comparable.

Existing traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)-related databases are still insufficient in data standardization, integrity and precision, and need to be updated urgently. Herein, an Encyclopedia of Traditional Chinese Medicine version 2.0 (ETCM v2.0, http://www.tcmip.cn/ETCM2/front/#/) was constructed as the latest curated database hosting 48,442 TCM formulas recorded by ancient Chinese medical books, 9872 Chinese patent drugs, 2079 Chinese medicinal materials and 38,298 ingredients. To facilitate the mechanistic research and new drug discovery, we improved the target identification method based on a two-dimensional ligand similarity search module, which provides the confirmed and/or potential targets of each ingredient, as well as their binding activities. Importantly, five TCM formulas/Chinese patent drugs/herbs/ingredients with the highest Jaccard similarity scores to the submitted drugs are offered in ETCM v2.0, which may be of significance to identify prescriptions/herbs/ingredients with similar clinical efficacy, to summarize the rules of prescription use, and to find alternative drugs for endangered Chinese medicinal materials. Moreover, ETCM v2.0 provides an enhanced JavaScript-based network visualization tool for creating, modifying and exploring multi-scale biological networks. ETCM v2.0 may be a major data warehouse for the quality marker identification of TCMs, the TCM-derived drug discovery and repurposing, and the pharmacological mechanism investigation of TCMs against various human diseases.
