Résumé
Objective:To understand the potential categories of e-health literacy of elderly diabetic patients in community, and analyze the relationship between each category and physical activity level, in order to provide theoretical basis for formulating intervention measures to improve e-health literacy of elderly diabetic patients.Methods:This study was across-sectional survey. Elderly diabetic patients from 3 community health service centers in Fenyang City, Shanxi Province were selected by convenient sampling method from January to June 2023. General data questionnaire, e-Health Literacy Scale and International Physical Activity Questionnaire were used to investigate the elderly diabetic patients. Mplus8.0 was used for potential profile analysis, and SPSS 26.0 software was used to compare the differences in physical activity levels among different categories of e-health literacy.Results:Totally 248 elderly diabetes patients in the community aged 60-88 (63.8 ± 6.4) years, 135 males (54.4%) and 113 females (45.6%). The e-health literacy scores of 248 elderly diabetic patients in community were (17.70 ± 5.30), which could be divided into three potential categories: general low literacy group (56.0%, 139/248), high evaluation ability-medium literacy group (18.2%, 45/248) and high access ability-high literacy group (25.8%, 64/248). Three potential categories of physical activity levels were (1 464.74 ± 190.37), (2 094.40 ± 139.70), (2 368.44 ± 157.27) metabolic equivalent-min per week, and the difference was statistically significant ( F=118.83, P<0.001). Conclusions:The e-health literacy of elderly diabetic patients in community can be divided into three potential categories, and the physical activity level of patients with different e-health literacy categories is different. It is suggested that targeted intervention should be conducted based on the homogenous group of elderly diabetic patients with e-health literacy to improve their physical activity level.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of adult skeletal fluorosis caused by drinking tea-type endemic fluorosis in Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture (hereinafter referred to as Yushu Prefecture), Qinghai Province, and provide scientific basis for prevention and control of the disease.Methods:In August 2021, one village was selected as a survey site in six counties (cities) in Yushu Prefecture, including Nangqian, Chindu, Yushu, Zadoi, Qumarlêb, and Zhiduo. Drinking water samples and 10 brick tea samples were collected from each village to determine the fluoride content in water and brick tea; at least 100 permanent residents aged ≥ 25, who had a habit of drinking brick tea and had lived in the local area for more than 5 years, were selected for X-ray imaging to examine the prevalence of adult skeletal fluorosis.Results:A total of 75 samples of residential drinking water were collected, with a fluoride content of (0.21 ± 0.05) mg/L, ranging from 0.11 to 0.34 mg/L; 60 samples of brick tea, with a fluoride content of (626.70 ± 157.27) mg/kg, ranging from 324.00 to 2 102.00 mg/kg. A total of 1 136 adults were examined, and 318 cases of skeletal fluorosis were diagnosed, with a detection rate of 27.99%. Among them, the detection rates of mild, moderate, and severe skeletal fluorosis were 20.95% (238/1 136), 6.07% (69/1 136), and 0.97% (11/1 136), respectively, with mild symptoms being the main. The detection rates of skeletal fluorosis in males and females were 29.09% (121/416) and 27.36% (197/720), respectively, with no statistically significant difference between the gender (χ 2 = 0.39, P = 0.533). Comparison of the skeletal fluorosis in different gender, the differences were statistically significant (χ 2 = 22.31, P < 0.001). The detection rates of skeletal fluorosis in the age groups of 25 - 35, 36 - 45, 46 - 55, 56 - 65, 66 - 75, and ≥76 years old were 6.86% (7/102), 22.37% (51/228), 24.02% (92/383), 37.44% (73/195), 43.48% (70/161), and 37.31% (25/67), respectively. The differences between the groups were statistically significant (χ 2 = 59.84, P < 0.001). Moreover, there was a statistically significant difference in the composition of skeletal fluorosis among different age groups ( H = 37.66, P < 0.001). The Spearman correlation analysis results showed that the severity of adult skeletal fluorosis was positively correlated with age ( r = 0.34, P < 0.001). Conclusions:There is a certain degree of prevalence of adult skeletal fluorosis in Yushu Prefecture. And as age increases, the condition of skeletal fluorosis becomes more severe.

Objective:To follow up the iodine nutrition and intellectual development of school children aged 8-10 years old in Nangqian County of Qinghai Province after 9 years of the implementation of iodine deficiency disorders intervention measures with iodine supplement as the main measure.Methods:In order to improve the iodine nutritional status of the population in Nangqian County, free iodized salt distribution, health education and other intervention measures for iodine deficiency disorders were implemented for 9 consecutive years since 2013. In May 2012 (before iodine supplementation) and September 2021 (after iodine supplementation), the same 5 townships (towns) were selected, and children aged 8-10 years old (half male and half female, age balanced) born locally in the central primary school of each township (town) were selected as the survey subjects. Household edible salt samples and random urine samples were collected for salt iodine and urinary iodine detection; the second revised version of the Chinese Combined Raven's Test (rural version) was used to assess the intelligence quotient (IQ) of children. The Flynn effect (FE) gain was used to adjust IQ, the corrected IQ = (IQ starting point value - current year's IQ value) - FE gain (calculated by 0.74/year). The differences of salt iodine and urinary iodine related indexes, IQ value and corrected IQ were compared before and after iodine supplementation.Results:After iodine supplementation, the coverage rate of iodized salt reached 100.00% (300/300), and the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt reached95.00% (285/300), the median urinary iodine increased to 157.20 μg/L, and all indexes met the elimination standard of iodine deficiency disorders. The IQ value of children aged 8-10 years old after iodine supplementation was 99.00 ± 14.90, significantly higher than that before iodine supplementation (82.00 ± 13.20, F = 156.82, P < 0.001). The FE gain in 9 years was 6.66, and the actual IQ gain of children aged 8-10 years old after iodine supplementation was 10.34. There were statistically significant differences in IQ value before and after iodine supplementation in male and female children ( F = 78.84, 78.88, P < 0.001). After iodine supplementation, there was a statistically significant difference in IQ value between children in the 8-year-old group and the 10-year-old group ( P = 0.010). There were statistically significant differences in IQ value before and after iodine supplementation in 8, 9 and 10 years old groups ( F = 55.23, 65.79, 36.85, P < 0.001). Conclusion:Intervention measures for iodine deficiency disorders, mainly iodine supplement, can significantly improve the iodine nutrition status of children aged 8-10 years old, and significantly promote the intellectual development of children.

Objective To explore the effect of exercise preconditioning on inflammatory response in ischemic stroke brain tissue which mediated by miR-146a in extracellular vesicles in rats with middle cerebral artery oc-clusion(MCAO),and its mechanism.Methods Sixty 6-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divid-ed into a non-exercise group and an exercise group.The non-exercise group was further divided into a sham-operation control group(C,n=15)and an MCAO model group(M,n=15),while the exercise group was further di-vided into an exercise only group(E,n=15)and an exercise plus MCAO model group(EM,n=15).Rats in the E and EM groups underwent 8 weeks of treadmill exercise,6 days per week,30 minutes per day.Then rats in the M and EM groups received MCAO to induce ischemic stroke,while the C and E groups underwent a sham surgery.Twenty-four hours after the surgery,neurobehavioral tests were performed.Plasma was collected to ex-tract extracellular vesicles,and brain tissue was collected to measure the volume of cerebral infarction by using the triphenyl tetrazolium chloride(TTC)staining.Moreover,the Nissl staining was conducted to observe neuronal and Nissl body.Mean while,the content of miR-146a in plasma extracellular vesicles and brain tissue was mea-sured by using the quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qPCR),and the expression of TNF receptor associat-ed factor 6(TRAF6),nuclear factor kappa-B(NF-κB)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in brain tissues were determined using Western blotting.The targeting relationship between miR-146a and TRAF6 was detected by using the dual luciferase reporter gene assay.Results(1)The neurological behavioral scores of the EM and M groups were higher than those of the C group(P<0.01 and P<0.01),with that of the EM group lower than the M group(P<0.01).(2)TTC staining showed that the infarct volume of the EM and M groups was larger than that of the other two groups(P<0.01 and P<0.01),with that of the EM group smaller than the M group(P<0.01).(3)Nissl staining results showed that the neuronal arrangement was loose,the number of neurons re-duced,and the Nissl bodies were lightly stained and decreased in the M group compared with the C and E groups.Moreover,compared with the M group,the number of neurons and Nissl bodies increased in the EM group.(4)The qPCR analysis showed that the expression of miR-146a in the plasma-derived exosomes and brain tissues of the EM and M groups decreased compared with the C group(P<0.05 and P<0.01),with that of the EM group higher than the M group(P<0.05).(5)According to Western blotting,compared with the C group,the expression levels of TRAF6,NF-κB,and TNF-α proteins increased significantly(P<0.05 and P<0.01),with that of group EM signfiicantly lower than group M(P<0.05 and P<0.05).(6)Dual-luciferase report-er gene assay showed that miR-146a had a specific binding site with TRAF6.Conclusion Eight weeks of exer-cise preconditioning reduces the infarct area and the extent of brain damage,which may be mediated by miR-146a via exosomes,increasing the expression of miR-146a in brain tissue,targeting TRAF6,negatively regulat-ing TRAF6/NF-κB,and reducing the expression of TNF-α,thus alleviating the inflammatory response in brain tissue and exerting a protective effect on ischemic brain injury.
Résumé
As of 2020, there are more than 120 million diabetic patients in China. Diabetic wounds is one of the common complications of diabetes with increasing incidence and has the potential to cause disability and mortality. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a long history in treating diabetic wounds, demonstrating significant efficacy and safety. In recent years, increasing researchers have explored the mechanisms of polysaccharides from TCM in the repair of diabetic wounds. Polysaccharides are the main active ingredients of TCM and employ one or more blood sugar-lowering mechanisms. However, most studies focus on the repair mechanism of single polysaccharides, and there is little in-depth discussion and summary. To provide a new therapy for diabetic wounds, which meets international standards and has the characteristics of TCM, and provide reference for the clinical treatment of diabetic wounds, we reviewed relevant literature to summarize the mechanisms of TCM polysaccharides in treating diabetic wounds. The mechanisms include inhibiting inflammation to improve wound microenvironment, lowering blood sugar, promoting fibroblast migration and proliferation, regulating wound growth factor to promote angiogenesis, inhibiting oxidative stress response, and regulating immune function. Finally, we put forward some possible research directions in the future.

Objective:To investigate the molecular mechanism of excessive iodine induced experimental autoimmune thyroiditis (EAT) in mice.Methods:Sixty female non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice were selected and divided into 5 groups according to body weight [(25 ± 3) g] via the random number table method, with 12 mice in each group: control group (group A), 10-fold high iodine group (group B), 100-fold high iodine group (group C), 1 000-fold high iodine group (group D) and 1 000-fold high iodine combined with polyinosinic acid-polycytidylic acid [Poly (I:C)] group (group E). The experiment period was 16 weeks. Mice in each group drank purified water with sodium iodine (NaI) content of 0.000, 0.005, 0.050, 0.500 and 0.500 mg/L, respectively; mice in group E were intraperitoneally injected with Poly (I:C) at week 7 and week 15, respectively. At the end of the 16th week, mice were dissected and blood samples and thyroid tissue were taken. The levels of serum thyroid function indexes [thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine (FT 3), free thyroxine (FT 4), and thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb)] were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); the pathological changes of thyroid tissue were observed after hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining; differentially expressed genes in thyroid tissue were detected by RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq), and analyzed by KEGG pathway; mRNA and protein levels of p38, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and chemokine 10 (CXCL10) in thyroid tissue were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR) and Western blotting, respectively. Results:There were statistically significant differences in serum levels of TSH (ng/ml: 6.53 ± 0.86, 6.61 ± 0.82, 7.68 ± 0.55, 7.93 ± 0.60, 8.73 ± 1.60), FT 3 (pg/ml: 59.35 ± 10.16, 53.73 ± 10.96, 46.19 ± 8.03, 41.01 ± 8.67, 34.21 ± 11.75), FT 4 (pg/ml: 136.74 ± 10.06, 124.33 ± 14.34, 101.80 ± 6.78, 91.37 ± 6.75, 73.29 ± 17.31), and TPOAb (U/ml: 130.81 ± 24.53, 145.47 ± 28.89, 166.52 ± 41.59, 199.78 ± 42.19, 201.99 ± 44.03) among the 5 groups of mice ( F = 4.77, 4.96, 23.12, 3.68, P < 0.05). Compared with group A, the serum TSH levels of mice in groups C, D and E were higher, the levels of FT 3 and FT 4 in groups B, C, D and E were lower, and the levels of TPOAb in groups D and E were higher, and the differences were statistically significant ( P < 0.05). HE staining showed that the thyroid follicle lesion in groups D and E was serious, and the EAT phenotype appeared in both groups. The differentially expressed genes were analyzed by KEGG pathway. Compared with group A, 8 metabolic pathways related to thyroid autoimmunity and inflammation were found in groups B, C, D and E. Further analysis found that 3 genes appeared in multiple pathways, namely p38, ICAM-1 and CXCL10. There were significant differences in the mRNA levels of p38, ICAM-1 and CXCL10 in thyroid tissue of the 5 groups of mice ( F = 14.77, 12.76, 16.39, P < 0.05); compared with group A, the mRNA levels of p38 in groups B, C, D and E were higher, and the mRNA levels of ICAM-1 and CXCL10 in groups C, D and E were higher ( P < 0.05). There were significant differences in the protein levels of p38, ICAM-1 and CXCL10 in thyroid tissue of the 5 groups of mice ( F = 7.97, 73.86, 18.02, P < 0.05); compared with group A, the protein levels of ICAM-1 and CXCL10 in groups B, C, D and E were higher ( P < 0.05). Conclusion:Excessive iodine promotes the occurrence and development of EAT in mice by up-regulating the expressions of p38 and ICAM-1 genes that are closely related to thyroid autoimmune and inflammatory responses.

Compound undergoes the first cleavage step a new globin-like enzyme PgMpaB to form a cryptic intermediate . Heterologous expression of genes in demonstrates that the second cleavage step (from to ) of is a cluster-independent process . Our results, especially the discovery of the broad tolerance of substrates recognized by PgMpaB, set up a strategy for the formation of "pseudo-isopentenyl" natural products using fungal globin-like enzymes.
Résumé
In recent years, the study found that Porphyromonas gingivalis type Ⅸ secretion system (T9SS) is a novel protein secretion system, also known as Por secretion system (PorSS). Unlike the eight protein secretion systems found in the past, the system is a polyprotein complex found only in Bacteroides. The secreted proteins have both N- and C-terminus, where the former includes Sec-dependent type Ⅰ signals peptide, and the latter contains conserved domains (C-terminal conserved domain, CTD). Porphyromonas gingivalis T9SS includes proteins such as intima, outer membrane, cytoplasm, and cell cycle, including at least 34 proteins containing CTD. Porphyromonas gingivalis T9SS is involved in regulating associated virulence factors including gingivin, fimbriae, lipopolysaccharide, HBP35, CPG70 protein and peptidyl-arginine deiminase. These CTD-containing virulence proteins are localized by T9SS and then released to the extracellular domain, thereby destroying periodontal tissue. Therefore, this review summarizes the research progress on the T9SS of Porphyromonas gingivalis.
Résumé
Objective To explore the tabular condition assessment methods in the role of early warning of children with severe hand, foot and mouth disease. Methods A total of 267 patients in observation group were evaluated by the disease assessment scale of hospitalized children with hand, foot and mouth disease and the risk assessment form of severe children with hand, foot and mouth disease to early indentify the severe and give intervention treatment. And the 243 patients in control group were evaluated by the empirical method. The incidence of severe cases and the incidence of complications were compared between two groups. Results The incidence of severe cases was 3.00%(8/267) in observation group and 17.70%(43/243) in control group, and there was significant difference between two groups, χ2=30.970,P<0.01. The incidence of total complications was 9.74%(26/267) in observation group and 32.51%(79/243) in control group, and there was significant difference between two groups, χ2=34.74,P<0.01. Conclusions The tabular condition evaluation method can early identify the children with severe hand, foot and mouth disease and give early intervention, reduce the incidence of severe and critical cases, and reduce the complications.
Résumé
Objective To study the relieving cough and reducing phlegm effects and acute toxicity of the Kujyukekuan mixtures. Methods The method used in our study is a cough model induced by the ammonia water , the phenol red test in mice, the mouse pinna swelling model induced by xylene and the maximum tolerant dose experiment. Results In antitussive experiments, R value of Kujyukekuan mixtures at low, medium and high dose of was 112. 26%, 143. 29%, 162. 07%, respectively regarding as ineffective, effective and marked effective;Kujyukekuan mixtures at medium and high doses increased the excretion of phenolsulfonphthalein in the trachea of mice (compared with the normal control group, P<0. 05 or P<0. 01),the results showed good concentration-response relationship;Kujyukekuan mixtures at low, medium and high dose significantly reduced mouse auricle swelling caused by xylene (compared with normal control group, P<0. 01), the results presented a good concentration-response relationship;the MTD of Kujyukekuan mixture was 326. 76 g·kg-1. Conclusion Kujyukekuan mixtures at medium and high doses exert significant eliminating cough and phlegm effects and strong anti-inflammatory property, and has a good security.
Résumé
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the effects of allergic factores in eosinophilic nasal polyps.@*METHOD@#Clinical characters of 67 eosinophilic nasal polyps patients and 26 lymphocyte nasal polyps patients were restrospeetively analyzed. Allergic factors, allergens and nasal anatomic variations were compared between two groups.@*RESULT@#Allergic factors are proned to present in eosinophilic nasal polyps group compared with lymphocyte nasal polyps group; The positive rates of allergen skin test between eosinophilic nasal polyps group and lymphocyte nasal polyps group showed significant difference; Allergens in eosinophilic nasal polyps group are different from lymphocyte nasal polyps group; Nasal anatomic variations are different between two groups.@*CONCLUSION@#Different pathogenesis maybe exist in different pathological type nasal polyps. Allergic factors are closely relative to eosinophilic nasal polyps and nasal anatomic variations play a more important role in the formation of lymhocyte nasal polyps.
