Relationship between Dining Place, Iodine Source, and Iodine Nutrition in School-Age Children: A Cross-Sectional Study in China.

Objective: This study assesses the impact of iodine-rich processed foods and dining places on the iodine nutritional status of children.

Methods: School-aged children (SAC) in seven provinces in China were selected by school-based multi-stage sampling. Urinary iodine, salt iodine, and thyroid volume (TVOL) were determined.

Association of lifetime exposure to fluoride and cognitive functions in Chinese children: a pilot study.

Background: A systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies on developmental fluoride neurotoxicity support the hypothesis that exposure to elevated concentrations of fluoride in water is neurotoxic during development.

Methods: We carried out a pilot study of 51 first-grade children in southern Sichuan, China, using the fluoride concentration in morning urine after an exposure-free night; fluoride in well-water source; and dental fluorosis status as indices of past fluoride exposure. We administered a battery of age-appropriate, relatively culture-independent tests that reflect different functional domains: the Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning (WRAML), Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-IV) digit span and block design; finger tapping and grooved pegboard.

[Surfactant-assisted solid-phase synthesis and spectral characterization of silver iodide nanowire bundles].

In the present paper, AgNO3 and KI were used as raw materials synthesize silver iodide nanowire bundles in the condition of nonionic surfactant polyethylene glycol (PEG-400) at room temperature. XRD, TEM and SEM techniques were used to characterize the silver iodide structure and morphology. The results indicated that the product was one-dimensional silver iodide nanowire bundles with diameters of 80-100 nm and lengths of 20 microm, and the length-diameter ratio was greater than 200.

[Determination of the ofloxacin in the biologic samples by fluorescence microscopic imaging technique].

The method of CTMAB-Al(3+)-OFLX ternary complex fluorescence microscopic imaging technique was established for the determination of ofloxacin based on the capillary effect of solvent on solid supports, and the concentration in the serum after the chicken was burdened with ofloxacin tablet, the concentration in the human urines and the percentage composition in the honeies, ofloxacin tablets and eye-drops were measured with satisfaction, respectively. In the presence of pH 9. 50 NH3-NH4Cl buffer solution and PVA-124, CTMAB-Al(3+)-OFLX ternary complex can form a self-ordered ring on the hydrophobic supports with the diameter of 1.

A novel fluorescent-activated ester, 8-phenyl-(4-oxy-acetic acid N-hydroxysuccinimidyl ester)-4,4-difluoro-1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (TMPAB-OSu) has been designed and synthesized for amine labeling in HPLC. Being used 11 aliphatic amines as the models, the derivatization conditions were optimized. In 0.

Spectrofluorimetric determination of total amount of nitrite and nitrate in biological sample with a new fluorescent probe 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-8-(3',4'-diaminophenyl)-difluoroboradiaza-s-indacence.

A new synthesized fluorescent probe, 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-8-(3',4'-diaminophenyl)-difluoroboradiaza-s-indacence (TMDABODIPY), has been used to detect nitrite. When TMDABODIPY reacted with nitrite, a weak fluorescent triazole formed in 0.2 mol l(-1) HCl medium at room temperature.

[Analysis on variance of common pathogenic bacteria and drug resistance in children in Chengdu area from 2001 to 2006].

Objective: To investigate the variance and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria isolated from children with infectious diseases seen between 2001 and 2006 in Chengdu area.

Methods: A total of 2888 pathogenic bacterial strains isolated from children in Chengdu Children's Hospital from 2001 to 2006 were analyzed. Tests were performed according to the guidelines of National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) of the United States.

Determination of biogenic amines in apples and wine with 8-phenyl-(4-oxy-acetic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester)-4, 4-difluoro-1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene by high performance liquid chromatography.

A precolumn-derivatization high performance liquid chromatographic method for biogenic amine analysis has been developed. Derivatization of biogenic amines was performed with a new fluorescent reagent, 8-phenyl-(4-oxy-acetic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester)-4,4-difluoro-1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (TMPAB-OSu), which was synthesized in our lab. The derivatization conditions and the influence of elution composition on the separation were investigated.

Determination of aspartate and glutamate in rabbit retina using polymer monolith microextraction coupled to high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection.

A simple, sensitive and low-cost method was developed for the determination of aspartate (Asp) and glutamate (Glu) in rabbit retina. Polymer monolith microextraction (PMME) using a poly(acrylamide-vinylpyridine-N,N'-methylene bisacrylamide) (AA-VP-Bis) monolithic column was combined with derivatization of Asp and Glu using 8-phenyl-(4-oxy-acetic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester)-4,4-difluoro-1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (TMPAB-OSu), and this was used to analyze the derivatives of Asp and Glu by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection. The conditions for the derivatization and the subsequent extraction of Asp and Glu derivatives were optimized.
