Objective To observe the expression of Toll-like receptor(TLR) on peripheral blood dendritic cells(DC) in children with Henoch-Schtinlein purpura(HSP),and to investigate the pathogenesis of the abnormal expression of TLR in children with HSP.Methods Twenty hospitalized children with HSP in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University Medical College from Dec.2011 to Jul.2012 were enrolled in the study(HSP group).Twenty agemetched healthy children were selected as a healthy control group.Peripheral venous blood was sampled under aseptic condition,peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were isolated from density gradient centrifugation,and DC were generated by recombinat human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor(GM-CSF),interleukin-4(IL-4) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) in vitro.Expressions of CD83,CD86 and TLR2,TLR3,TLR4 in peripheral blood DC were examined by fluorescent activated cell sorter (FACS).Results 1.No significant distinction was found in the expression of the C Ds3 on peripheral blood DC between HSP group and healthy control group(t =0.80,P > 0.05) ;in HSP group had remarkably increased expression of the CD86 on peripheral blood DC than that of the healthy control group (t =9.56,P < 0.01).2.Expression rates of TLR2,TLR3,TLR4 on peripheral blood DC in the HSP group were higher than those in the healthy control group(t =1 1.79,13.29,9.45,all P < 0.01).3.Expression rates of TLR2,TLR3 and TLR4 in HSP group had positive correlation with expression rates of CD86 (r =0.84,P < 0.01 ; r =0.53,P < 0.05 ; r =0.66,P < 0.05).Conclusions Expressions of TLR2,TLR3 and TLR4 on peripheral blood DC significantly increased and were positively correlated with expression of CD86.This implies that TLR and co-stimulatory molecules might participate in the pathogenesis of HSP by mediating signal transduction,leading to abnormity of cytokines,then inducing Th1/Th2 immune imbalance by showing the advantage of Th2 function.

ObjectiveTo explore the occupational needs of hand injury patients and the effects of activity-based analysis and occupation-based interventions. MethodsFrom January, 2021 to June, 2022, 212 patients who accepted occupational therapy for wrist-hand injury in Rehabilitation Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were interviewed using Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) to collect the activities that they wanted to do, needed to do, were expected to do, but unable to do. Two senior occupational therapists conducted the activity analysis of the summarized needs, identified occupational components, designed a purposeful occupation-based intervention program, and evaluated the performance and satisfaction using COPM. ResultsA cumulative total of 84 occupational needs were proposed, covering five major domains: work, basic activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living, leisure and sleep. The activities mostly impaired involved using computer (8.28%), using chopsticks (6.42%), wringing towels (6.25%), travelling on transport (4.90%) and lifting heavy objects (4.73%). The performance and satisfaction improved after treatment (t > 16.572, P < 0.001). ConclusionThe occupational needs are culturally specific for local hand injury patients; the use of an activity-based analysis and occupation-based intervention is effective on meeting the occupational needs.

Background Magnesium is an important nutrient, and participates in most metabolic processes. Many studies show an association between dietary magnesium intakes and nutrition-related diseases such as diabetes. However, the data of dietary magnesium intakes and secular trends among the whole life cycle of Chinese residents are not available. Objective To investigate the dietary magnesium intakes and associated secular trends over the past three decades in residents of all ages and China, to identify the high-risk residents of magnesium deficiency and plan nutritional interventions, and provide basic data support for the revision of dietary magnesium reference intake. Method The data came from the 10 rounds of the "China Health and Nutrition Survey" from 1991 to 2018, and the participants with complete sociodemographic and dietary data wereselected. The median intakes, insufficient rates, and secular trends of dietary magnesium intakes were analyzed in different survey years. Analysis of multiple linear regression was used to analyze the annual change characteristics of dietary magnesium intakes controlling gender, age, education, urban-rural stratum, and north-south region. Wilcoxon trend test was used to analyze the secular trends of dietary magnesium intakes in different characteristic groups. The trends of insufficient rate were analyzed by Cochran-Armitage trend test among different characteristic groups. Results A total of 127169 residents were included in the present study. The medians of dietary magnesium intakes in 1991, 1993, 1997, 2000, 2004, 2006, 2009, 2011, 2015, and 2018 were 283.70, 283.38, 304.26, 285.50, 283.64, 275.49, 267.92, 242.93, 240.51, and 238.89 mg·d−1, respectively, showing a significant downward trend (F=2931.81, P<0.001). Dietary magnesium intakes showed significant differences in gender, age, education level, income level, urban-rural stratum, and north-south region in almost all survey years, except that there was no significant difference among different income groups in 1991. Insufficient rate of dietary magnesium intake showed a significant upward trend (Z=62.62, P<0.001), approximate 60% of Chinese residents consumed insufficient magnesium. The insufficient rate was 53.94% for male and 65.35% for female, and the insufficient rate in the 14-17 age group was as high as 71.29%. Conclusion The dietary magnesium intake shows a significant downward trend and insufficient intake of dietary magnesium is prevalent among Chinese population. It is necessary to observe the high-risk population and conduct relevant nutritional interventions, as well as to further assess the recommended intake of magnesium.
