Effects of major air pollutants on angina hospitalizations: a correlation study.

Background: Angina is a crucial risk signal for cardiovascular disease. However, few studies have evaluated the effects of ambient air pollution exposure on angina.

Objective: We aimed to explore the short-term effects of air pollution on hospitalization for angina and its lag effects.

[Research Progress on the Role of Berberine in Hematologic Malignancies and Its Related Mechanisms --Review].

Berberine, a traditional Chinese medicine, is an isoquinoline alkaloid extracted from the rhizome of Coptis chinensis. It has anti-inflammatory and antidiarrheal effects and is commonly used in the treatment of infections and gastrointestinal diseases. In recent years, studies have found that berberine can play a wide range of anti-cancer effects in the treatment of leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, etc.

Prognostic evaluation and staging optimization of the Mayo Additive Staging System (MASS) in real world for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients.

Objective: To explore the prognostic value of the Mayo Additive Staging System (MASS) in real-world patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma(MM).

Methods: The clinical data of 307 patients with newly diagnosed MM from August 2015 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Survival analysis was conducted for each subgroup according to the MASS.

Iodine nutrition status and thyroid function of women at different phases of gestation in an iodine sufficient rural area.

Background And Objectives: This study was undertaken to evaluate the status of iodine nutrition and thyroid function of women at different phases of gestation in an iodine sufficient rural area.

Methods And Study Design: 215 pregnant women in different trimesters were consecutively enrolled in iodine sufficient rural areas of Yongjing county of Gansu province, China. The blood samples and random urine samples were collected from them, and serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxin (FT4), thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb), thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) and urinary iodine were measured.

Aggregation induced emission of amino-thiol capped gold nanoparticles (GNPs) through metal-amino-coordination.

Au(SG) gold nanoparticles (GNPs) were synthesized from HAuCl using thiol compounds containing an amino group to serve as both the reducing agent and the ligand. A three-dimensional network structure (…Au-SNH→M⟵HNS-Au…) was formed after the M (Pb, Cd, Zn and Ag) coordinated the gold nanoparticles through the amino group in the thiol ligand, which promoted aurophilicity (…Au…Au…) and induced GNP aggregation and emission. The differences in coordination between the amino group and metal ions resulted in different emission wavelengths (Pb, Cd, Zn and Ag: λ = 365 nm˜370 nm, λ = 580, 645, 630 and 565 nm).

[Investigation of iodine content in drinking-water of Gansu Province in 2017].

Objective: To investigate the water iodine content and distribution of drinking-water in Gansu Province, and provide scientific evidence for the implementation of strategies for prevention and treatment of iodine-related diseases.

Methods: The multilevel sampling method was adopted, take the township as sampling unit at the first level, and the administrative village with the median water iodine ≥10 μg/L as the second level sampling unit, different water supply modes(centralized, partial concentration and decentralized water supply) were sampled and the water iodine were detected by recommended iodine deficiency disease test method.

Results: A total of 8976 drinking water samples were detected from 1388 towns of 14 cities.

[Status of lactating women's iodine nutrition and thyroid function in different iodine nutrition level of children in Gansu Province].

Objective: To assess the iodine nutrition and thyroid function of lactatingwomen in different iodine nutrition level of children in Gansu Province, and provide a scientific basis for iodine supplementation.

Methods: Liangzhou district( the median urinary iodine was greater than or equal to 300 g/L), Linze county( the median urinary iodine was from 200 to 299 g/L) and Huating county( the median urinary iodine was from100 to 199 g/L) were selected according to 8-10 years old children urinary iodine in2009. Huating county, Liangzhou district and Linze county were as iodine excessive area, iodine suitable area 1 and iodine suitable area 2, respectively in 2014.

[Changes of iodine nutrition status and thyroid function among pregnant women in iodine sufficient rural area of Gansu province].

Objective: To assess the iodine nutrition and thyroid function of pregnant women during different periods of pregnancy, to provide evidence for guiding iodine supplementation for them.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was performed in 215 pregnant women in Yongjing couty from May to June 2013. Samples of blood and random urine were collected, and serum thyrotrophin (TSH), free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO), antithyroglobulin ( anti-TG)and urinary iodine were measured.

[Improvement of universal salt iodization program on the intelligence quotient among children in Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture of Gansu].

Objective: To assess the improvement of intelligence quotient through an Universal Salt Iodization Supply Program, among children.

Methods: 3518 and 1611 children were selected from primary schools in Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture of Gansu in 2006 and 2010 respectively. Intelligence quotient (IQ) were measured by the revised Chinese Combined Raven Test-C2 (CRT-C2).

[Study on the relationship between iodine status and growth in infants at the key period of brain development].

Objective: To investigate the relationship between iodine nutrition and growth/development in infants at the key period of brain development.

Methods: All women from pregnancy to the end of lactation and the weaning infants within 3 years in the Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture (Linxia Prefecture) were added iodized oil in 2006 - 2010.
