ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo identify and analyze the possible influencing factors of obesity among public primary school students in Minhang District, Shanghai. MethodsBasic data, collected through questionnaire stars, was imported with merged physical examination data into Excel to form a database. Data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by SPSS 22.00. Independent sample t-test was used for the data with normal distribution. Nonparametric test was used for the data with non-normal distribution. χ2 test was used for the quantitative data. Logistic regression was used for univariate and multivariate analysis. ResultsAccording to the national physical health standards for students (revised in 2014) , the prevalence rate of obesity among primary school students in Minhang district was 29.63% . The prevalence of overweight and obesity was 32.1% in boys and 26.9% in girls. The trend of overweight and obesity in different grades was similar among different genders .A single factor analysis showed that, being the only child (χ2=9.300, P<0.01) , father obesity(χ2=106.417, P<0.001) or mother obesity(χ2=118.534, P<0.001) , mother's overweight during pregnancy (χ2=159.731, P<0.001) , caregiver's role as grandparents (χ2=38.736, P<0.001) , low education level (χ2=111.309, P<0.001) had effects on overweight and obesity of children while the differences had statistical significance. Pupil's bad eating habit (χ2=18.905,P<0.001) and preference (χ2=22.901, P<0.001) , insufficient sleep time (χ2=61.685, P<0.001) , long-time using of electronic products (χ2=37.182, P<0.001) and low-time of exercise (χ2=15.328, P<0.001) also affected the obesity of primary school students. Among the five factors of family, diet, psychology, static state and dynamic state, the influencing factors of obesity in primary school students from grade one to grade four were being the only child, obese father and/or mother, overweight mother during pregnancy, caregivers without higher education. In terms of diet, it was mainly based on eating habits before bedtime, as well as partial and picky eating habits. In terms of psychology, the main psychological source was the pressure of learning in school. There was a clear relationship between the pace of learning and not keeping up. Static analysis revealed a correlation with lack of sleep. After assigning values based on eye hygiene recommendations for the use of electronic products, it was found that there was no direct correlation between obesity in primary school students and the duration of electronic product use. Dynamic analysis showed that not taking part in school physical exercise was related to obesity. ConclusionThe obesity of primary school students is influenced by family, diet, psychology, static and dynamic factors. The intervention of obesity in primary school needs the joint efforts of school, society, family, self-cognition and so on.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo develop a new mosquito trap and evaluate its effectiveness in Aedes albopictus monitoring in an urban community. MethodsThe first-round field test was conducted in a well-greened residential neighborhood with high Aedes albopictus density calculated by human landing catch in August 2022, in Minhang District, Shanghai. 65 new test containers with different designs were randomly deployed in the field. These trap containers were designed by different material, color, hole size, shape and top cover colors. The results of mosquito and its egg trapping were observed and recorded continuously for 7 days. In September 2022, the second round of experiment was conducted. After comparison, an optimized trap container was designed. 140 new trap containers were compared with 140 traditional ones to evaluate the effectiveness. SPSS 22.5 software was used for statistical analysis. ResultsThere were significant changes in the outcome of mosquito and its egg trapping on the 4th and 7th day of the pre-experiment deployment of the three kinds of containers. The 200 ml container cup with three round holes in the body had the best effect on trapping mosquitos and eggs, with a positive rate of 45.5% (5/11), while other type of contrainer cup only had a positive rate of 12% (6/50) in trapping mosquitos and eggs. Statistical significant differences (χ2=45.443,P <0.001) existed between the two tpyes of cups within the first kind of trapping container. The second kind of trapping container showed round and oval holes had better effect on mosquito trapping, with a positive rate of 55.6% (5/9). The third kind of hanging container can resist strong wind. The best mosquito trapping effect of three round holes was 66.7% (2/3). The container wall should not be made of rough material, which was easy to cause the escape of adult mosquitoes. Combined with the three types of containers, the new contariner should be top transparent, and the top 1/3 of the side should paint black with 3 round holes. The effective recovery rate of the new container was higher than that of the traditional one under the exclusion of human factors, and had the advantage of preventing rain, wind and rollover, but the effect of trapping mosquito and its egg was comparable to the traditional one(χ2D4=0.197,P=0.658; χ2D7=0.125 ,P=0.724). ConclusionThis new type of mosquito trap is worth further exploration and research, which can improve the trapping efficiency, overall recovery rate and the accurate confirmation of the mosquito density.

Aim To observe the effect of DL-buthionine s ulfoximine(DL-BSO) on the radiosensitivity of rat C 6 glioma cells under the a erobic and the hypoxic condition. Methods The source of radiati on was 60Co ?-rays. The rats C 6 glioma cells were treated by radia tion alone or DL-BSO+radiation under the aerobic and the hypoxic condition. Col ony forming assay was used to measure effects of DL-BSO on the radiosensitivity . Results Radiosensitive effect of DL-BSO was time-depedent u nder the aerobic condition. After treatment with 0.1 mmol?L -1 DL-BSO fo r 2, 6, 12 hours, the radiosensitive effect was not observed, whereas an enhance ment of radiosensitivity was seen at 24 and 48 hours. An enhancement of radiosen sitivity was seen at 2~48 hours after treatment with 0.1 mmol?L -1 DL-B SO under the hypoxic condition. The radiosensitive effects related to DL-BSO co ncentration under the aerobic and the hypoxic condition. Conclusion Both under the aerobic and the hypoxic conditions DL-BSO can increase the radio sensitivity of rat C 6 glioma cells. DL-BSO increased the rat C 6 gliom a cells radiosensitivity especially under the hypoxic condition, and radiosensit ive effect of DL-BSO is time and concentration-dependent.
ABSTRACT
Aim To investigate effects and the mechanism of rutoside (Ru) on lung injury during experimental acute pancreatitis (AP) . Methods The model of AP was induced by retrograde injection of Sodium Taurocholate(STC)into biliopancreatic duct in rat. Ru (15,30,60 mg?kg -1 ?h -1 ) was administered by intravenous infusion for 6 hours immediately after the induction of AP. Indexes of blood gas analysis, the wet/dry lung ratio and pathological changes of lung tissue were observed and we also measured levels of TNF-?, ICAM-1and NF-?B. Result Ru(60 mg?kg -1 )increased the arterial PO_2, which decreased in AP rats. Ru (30,60 mg?kg -1 ) could decrease the wet/dry lung ratio, and improve pathological changes of lung tissue. Ru(15,30,60 mg?kg -1 ) could decrease levels of TNF-?, ICAM-1, and NF-?B. Conclusion The study indicates that Ru administered by intravenous infusion exerts certain protective effects on lung injury in experimental AP rats by decreasing levels of TNF-?, ICAM-1 and NF-?B.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the protective effects of total flavone C( TFC) on myocardial ischemia and to explore its mechanism.Methods Two kinds of models were established: mouse model of myocardial ischemia induced by means of clampi ng trachea and rat models of myocardial ischemia induced by pititrin.Results TFC at the concentrations of 80 and 40 mg/kg markedly prolonged the cardioelectric time after clamping the trachea.TFC at the concentrations of 60 and 30 mg/kg can ameliorate the changes of ST and T wave in rat models,reduce the MDA contents in the myocardium and the serum of rats and decrease the activity of LDH in the serum of rats.Conclusion TFC has protective effects on moyocardial ischemia and its mechanism may be related with the inhibition of lipid peroxidation.

ABSTRACT
Total glucosides of paeony ( TGP ) , an extract of Paeonia Lacti-flora Pall were investigated for its effect on the synthesis of leukotriene B_4 ( LTB_4 ) by peritoneal macrophages ( PM?). LTB4, generated by 10~9~15 ? 10~10/L PM? with ionophore A_23187 , were measured with RP-HPLC. Suppression of releasing LTB_4 from PM? by TGP ( 100 mg/L ) was as much as the same dose of Flufenamic acid, but the action of TGP was slower. TGP significantly inhibited the synthesis of LTB_4 by PM? in a dose-dependent manner. The concentration of TGP required to obtain 50% inhibition ( IC_50 ) of formation of LTB_4 was 0.66mg/L. The data suggested antiinflam-matory and immunomodulatory action of TGP were related to its suppression of releasing LTB_4

ABSTRACT
AIM To study the effect of rutoside (Ru) on blood rheology in murine acute pancreatitis (AP). METHODS Blood rheology, enzymatic levels and pathology of the pancreas were evaluated in all Wistar rats. The pancreatic sections were scored and compared. RESULTS In AP group, the whole blood viscosity, the plasma viscosity, the eryrocyte sedimentation, the hematocrit, the agglutinatin index of red blood cell, and the rigidity index were significantly elevated. The pancreatitis injury was described as evident pancreatic acinar necrosis and infiltration of inflammatory cells. Ru 120, 60, 30 mg?kg -1 (sc) ameliorated the abovementioned adverse pathophysiological changes seen in the control group. CONCLUSION During the course of AP, rutoside ameliorated the blood rheology abnormality and showed a protective effect on pancreatic tissue.
ABSTRACT
Aim To study the effect of Rutoside (Ru) on pancreatic acinar cell apoptosis in rats with acute pancreatitis(AP). Methods The AP model in rats was induced by retrograde injection of 3% sodium taurocholate into biliopancreatic duct. Ru (15, 30 and 60 mg?kg~ -1 ?h~ -1 )was administered by intravenous infusion for 6 hours immediately after the induction of AP.The histopathological changes of pancreas were observed under light microscope and electronic microscope.A terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotion nick end labeling(TUNEL) method was used to detect apotosis of pancreatic acinar cell and apoptosis immunohistochemical method. Results Ru (15, 30 and 60 mg?kg~ -1 ?h~ -1 ) improved the histopathological changes of pancreas significantly.The apotosis index of pancreatic acinar cells was significantly higher than that the AP model group. The gray value of Fas was lower than that of the AP model group. Immuno-staining revealed that moderate to strong FasL immunoreactivity was present in the cytoplasm of the acini of all groups.But in AP model group,the gray value of FasL was lower than that in Ru-treated groups.AI was positively correlated with the gray value of Fas,and was negatively correlated with the gray value of FasL and the severity of pancreas damages. Conclusion The protective effect of Ru on AP may be concerned with the induction of apoptosis in injured pancreatic acinar cells.And the Fas/FasL system may contribute to the process.
