Urinary iodine, salt iodine, and thyroid volume(TVOL) were determined. Questionnaires were used to investigate dining places and iodine-rich processed foods. The water iodine was from the2017 national survey. Multi-factor regression analysis was used to find correlations between variables.Results Children ate 78.7% of their meals at home, 15.1% at school canteens, and 6.1% at other places.The percentage of daily iodine intake from water, iodized salt, iodine-rich processed foods, and cooked food were 1.0%, 79.2%, 1.5%, and 18.4%, respectively. The salt iodine was correlated with the urinary iodine and TVOL, respectively(r = 0.999 and-0.997, P < 0.05). The iodine intake in processed foods was weakly correlated with the TVOL(r = 0.080, P < 0.01). Non-iodized salt used in processed foods or diets when eating out had less effect on children’s iodine nutrition status.Conclusion Iodized salt remains the primary source of daily iodine intake of SAC, and processed food has less effect on iodine nutrition. Therefore, for children, iodized salt should be a compulsory supplement in their routine diet.展开更多

Methods: Patients with cerebral infarction complicated by pneumonia who were treated in Huangshi Central Hospital between April 2014 and February 2017 were selected as the infection group of the research, and patients with cerebral infarction who were treated in Huangshi Central Hospital during the same period were selected as the control group of the research. Serum was collected to determine the contents of trace elements Zn, Fe, Cu, Se and Ca as well as infection index PCT, and peripheral blood was collected to determine the erythrocyte immune function indexes. Results: Serum PCT content of infection group was greatly higher than that of control group. Serum zinc and Fe contents as well as peripheral blood RBC-ICR, RBC-C3bR, FEER, CD58 and CD59 levels of infection group were greatly lower than those of control group, FEIR level in peripheral blood was obviously higher than that of control group, and Cu, Se and Ca contents were not greatly different from those of control group;serum zinc and Fe contents as well as peripheral blood RBC-ICR, RBC-C3bR, FEER, CD58 and CD59 levels of infection group of patients with high PCT content were remarkably lower than those of patients with low PCT content, FEIR level in peripheral blood was significantly higher than that of patients with low PCT content, and Cu, Se and Ca contents were not greatly different from those of patients with low PCT content. Conclusion:The deficiency of microelements Zn and Fe as well as the weakening of erythrocyte immune function is closely related to the degree of infection in the patients with cerebral infarction complicated by pneumonia.展开更多
