Abstract: Research background; At an altitude of more than 3,000 m in the plateau area, the oxygen is very thin, which can easily lead to adverse reactions that are difficult to adapt to such as hypoxia, cerebral edema, pulmonary edema, gastrointestinal diseases, etc. This adverse reaction is called altitude sickness, which may cause plateau disease to a certain extent. Research purpose; China belongs to mountainous and hilly areas, and there are countless plateau areas in the southwest, and there are many residents with plateau diseases. In highland areas, in order to reduce altitude sickness and other situations, it is very necessary for us to study the mechanism and treatment process of altitude sickness. Research method; This study conducted a statistical analysis from the statistics of altitude sickness patients from Daocheng county-level medical institutions in Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province from 2010 to 2023. Analysis of the clinical characteristics of cerebral edema, pulmonary edema and gastrointestinal diseases due to altitude sickness, and study the mechanism and principle of occurrence. Research results; The plateau area is an environment prone to hypoxia. Such an environment is most prone to pulmonary edema and cerebral edema. In the study, we found that acute plateau reaction can solve the problem by inhalation of oxygen, but clinically, pulmonary edema, cerebral edema, etc., as well as gastrointestinal diseases.

Abstract: Obesity and iron deficiency are global public health problems. Obesity can cause nutritional disorders, such as iron deficiency. Obesity and iron deficiency during the rapid stages of growth and development in children can cause lasting and irreversible damage to the health of children and even into adulthood. Because the economy and living standards are improving, the incidence of childhood obesity increases yearly, at the same time, the incidence of iron deficiency in obese children is also higher. Obesity is closely related to the occurrence and development of iron deficiency, and the coexistence of the two can produce synergistic effects leading to serious harm, which is an urgent nutritional health problem in clinic. By impairing iron absorption, reducing iron excretion within cells, and by competing with the body for iron with the altered gut flora caused by obesity, obesity can disrupt the normal iron metabolism process and then lead to iron deficiency. The mechanism of obesity-associated iron deficiency is complex and may be related to inflammatory response, intestinal cells, anoxic microenvironment and intestinal flora. Therefore, in this review, we discuss possible mechanisms of obesity-associated iron deficiency to offer new methods and strategies for preventing and treating iron deficiency in obese children.
