Human interleukin-15 (hIL-15) is an important cytokine to activate endothelial cells and can be regulated by many other cytokines. The aim of this study is to examine the ability of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) to induce the production of human interleukin-15 (hIL-15) and IL-15 receptor (IL-15Ralpha) by human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The data are summarized as follows: 1. Northern blot revealed that IL-15 mRNA was up-regulated by IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha. 2. Intracellular IL-15 protein was visualized by fluorescence microscopy, whereas the expression of IL-15 on the surface of HUVECs was detected by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS), and no detectable IL-15 in the medium was verified by ELISA. 3. IL-15Ralpha was detected on the surface of HUVECs by FACS after IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha stimulation, whereas Western blotting revealed that the elevated expression on surface IL-15Ralpha was not due to the increased protein expression. The conclusion demonstrated from our results is that IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha play an important role in regulating the expression of IL-15 and IL-15Ralpha on the surface of HUVECs.

Objective:
To understand the trends in malnutrition among primary and middle school students of Han nationality in Hainan Province from 2005 to 2019, so as to provide a basis for improving nutrition intervention measures for children and adolescents.
Methods:
A sample of 32 949 Han nationality primary and middle school students aged 7-18 years old in Hainan Province were investigated in 2005, 2010, 2014 and 2019 based on national survey on student physical fitness and health. The Malnutrition Screening Standard of Schoolage Children and Adolescents was used to screen malnutrition. Statistical analysis was performed using the χ2 test and the χ2trend test.
Results:
In the four surveys conducted during 2005 to 2019, the prevalence of malnutrition among primary and middle school students were 22.12%, 18.80%, 15.89% and 9.56%, respectively, with an increase of -12.56% and an average annual increase of -5.82%. The decreasing trend of malnutrition by year was statistically significant (χ2trend=600.72, P<0.01), and the proportion of emaciation type was the highest (8.87%-20.15%). The detection rates of malnutrition among all students aged 7 to 18 showed a decreasing trend from 2005 to 2019 (χ2trend=56.44, 60.04, 61.48, 42.49, 51.81, 50.81, 72.86, 101.34, 86.38, 24.81, 17.72, 10.38, P<0.01). From 2005 to 2019, the detection rates of malnutrition in boys were higher than that of girls (in 4 surveys), and that in rural students from 2005 to 2014 of 3 surveys were higher than that in towns (χ2=92.07, 35.16, 25.29, 29.98; 64.35, 4.26, 6.32, P<0.05).
Conclusions
The malnutrition of Han nationality primary and middle school students aged 7-18 years in Hainan Province show a trend of improvement year by year from 2005 to 2019, despite the overall high detection rate. Wasting is the most common type of malnutrition. The epidemic of malnutrition varies by age, sex and areas. Further targeted measures should be taken to strengthen intervention in the diet of primary and middle school students, to improve the nutritional status of children and adolescents.

Objective:To construct a quality evaluation index system for postoperative rehabilitation in children with developmental dislocation of the hip (DDH) .Methods:From August to November 2021, a quality evaluation index system for postoperative rehabilitation in children with DDH was established through literature review, group discussion, and Delphi expert consultation. The analytic hierarchy process was used to determine the weights of various indicators. The positive coefficient of experts was expressed by the effective response rate of the questionnaire. The authority level of experts was represented by the authority coefficient ( Cr) , which was determined by the expert judgment coefficient ( Ca) and the expert familiarity level ( Cs) . The degree of coordination of expert opinions was represented by the Kendall harmony coefficient (Kendall's W) . The degree of concentration of expert opinions was represented by the average score of importance assignment, coefficient of variation, and full score rate. Results:The effective response rates of the two rounds of expert consultation questionnaires were 90.00% and 100.00%, respectively. The Cr of experts in two rounds were 0.785 and 0.815, and the Kendall harmony coefficients were 0.098-0.193 and 0.147-0.212 ( P<0.05) . In the second round of expert consultation, the average scores of importance assignment for all levels of indicators were≥4.0, with coefficients of variation of 0-0.24 and a full score rate of ≥50%. The final quality evaluation index system for postoperative rehabilitation in children with DDH included 3 first-level indicators, 9 second-level indicators, and 37 third-level indicators. In the consistency test results of each indicator at all levels, all of the CI were <0.001, and all of the CR were<0.001. Conclusions:The construction process of the quality evaluation index system for postoperative rehabilitation in children with DDH is scientific, and the weight distribution of the indicators is reasonable, which can be used as an effective tool for evaluating the postoperative rehabilitation quality of DDH children.
