ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the emotional and behavioral problems of different only child and multiple child families, and to provide a reference for developing effective parenting styles.@*Methods@#A stratified random cluster sampling method was adopted to investigate 2 647 guardians of preschool children in Tongling City from April to June, 2022. Children s emotional and behavioral problems were evaluated by using the self designed parenting questionnaire and the Children s Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) parent edition.@*Results@#The abnormal total score detection rate of emotional and behavioral problems of preschool children was 15.5%, and the rate of abnormal peer interaction was the highest (19.5%). In multiple child families, the first born child (17.5%, 20.4%), compared with the second and third child (11.5%, 9.5%), was more likely to exhibit conduct and hyperactivity problems ( χ 2=8.44, 29.75, P <0.01). There were differences in parenting attitudes between only child and multiple child families( χ 2=9.38, P <0.05). The results of the Logistic regression analysis showed that more frequent parent child discussion, the persuasive education and consistent family discipline strategy were negatively related to the emotional and behavioral problems of only children and children in multiple child families ( OR =0.15, 0.49, 0.38; 0.34, 0.40, 0.42, P <0.05). However, harmonious family relationships were only negatively related to emotional and behavioral problems in only children ( OR =0.08, P <0.01), and a higher education level among mothers was negatively related to emotional and behavioral problems in children from multiple child family environments( OR=0.30, 0.45, P <0.05).@*Conclusion@#The emotional and behavioral problems are serious of preschool children in Tongling City, the psychological development of the oldest children from multiple child and only child families should be actively followed, as this would help to promote a better understanding of the development of preschool children s physical and mental health.
ABSTRACT
Malaria still threatens global health seriously today. While the current discoveries of antimalarials are almost totally focused on single mode-of-action inhibitors, multi-targeting inhibitors are highly desired to overcome the increasingly serious drug resistance. Here, we performed a structure-based drug design on mitochondrial respiratory chain of
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the application of urodynamics in the diagnosis and treatment of nonmonosymp-tomatic nocturnal enuresis(NMNE)in children,and to provide some evidence for its clinical treatment. Methods Patients who were clinically diagnosed as NMNE at Department of Pediatrics Kidney Rheumatism and Pediatric Urology of Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from January 2015 to August 2016 were collected. Sixty - six children with NMNE were included in the urodynamic study,and the different treatments were selected according to the results of the urodynamics and the efficacy was evaluated. Results The urodynamic results of 61 patients(92. 43％)were abnor-mal,and 5 cases(7. 57％)had no abnormalities. There were 35 cases with overactive bladder(OAB)in abnormal re-sults,with a remarkable decrease in bladder pressure capacity in 7 cases,detrusorsphincter discoordination(DSD)in 1 case,and OAB with other abnormal results in 18 cases. OAB was found in 53 cases,and the detection rate was 86. 89％(53 / 61 cases),accounting for 80. 3％(53 / 66 cases)of the total samples. The desmopressin acetate combined with Tolterodine tartrate was used to treat OAB patients,and its total effective rate was 94. 34％(50 / 53 cases). The biofeed-back treatment had effect on DSD child. The patients with a marked decrease in bladder pressure capacity and with the normal urodynamics received desmopressin acetate joint behavior training treatment,and the efficiency of the therapy was 71. 43％(5 / 7 cases)and 80. 00％(4 / 5 cases),respectively. Conclusions The urodynamics study can uncover the pathophysiological mechanism of NMNE,so this examination is essential for NMNE children to improve the treat-ment. Since the rate of OAB in NMNE is very high,it is suggested that anticholinergic medications combined with desmopressin can be used in the initial treatment of the NMNE patients to improve the rate of cure and prognosis.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To investigate clinical efficacy and safety of tiopronin combined with lamivudine in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis complicated with chronic hepatitis B. METHODS:150 cases diagnosed as pulmonary tuberculosis with chronic hepatitis B were randomly divided into group A(drug combination group),group B(lamivudine group)and the group C (control group),with 50 cases in each group. 3 groups were given isoniazid+rifapentine+ethambutol+levofloxacin(2HTELfx/4HT) anti-TB treatment and liver protection treatment,etc. Group B was additionally given Lamivudine tablet orally,0.1 g,qd;group A was additionally given Tiopronin tablet 0.3 g,tid,on the basis of group B. The treatment course of 3 groups lasted for 6 months. Liver damage,serum fibrosis indexes of 3 groups were observed in 3 groups before and after treatment as well as hepatitis B virolo-gy indexes,clinical efficacy and the occurrence of ADR after treatment. RESULTS:After treatment,serum levels of ALT,AST and TBIL weresignificantly increased in group C,significantly decreased in group A,with statistical significance(P0.05). Serum levels of ALT,AST and TBIL after the treatment:group A0.05). Serum fibrosis indexes of group A and B decreased significantly compared to before treatment,with statistical significance (P0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Tiopronin combined with lamivudine can significantly reduce liver function damage caused by an-ti-TB drugs. It is conducive to the smooth progress of tuberculosis chemotherapy with fewer adverse reactions.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the status of iron deposition in patient with β thalassemia major, and to formulate appropriate treatment strategies.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The data of status of transfusion and chelation in 135 patients aged from 6 years and 4 months to 17 years and 11 months with β thalassemia major were collected and analyzed. Serum ferritin levels were determined and cardiac and hepatic iron deposition was determined using MRI T2(*) technology.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Of the 135 cases studied, 66 were male, and 69 were female, their average age was 12.1 years. Serum ferritin (SF) was determined for 111 cases, it varied from 1 086.8 µg/L to 15 011.5 µg/L. Among them, 16 cases had SF level <2 000 µg/L (14.5%) , in 41 cases SF were between 2 000 and 4 000 µg/L (36.0%) ;in 54 cases SF >4 000 µg/L (48.7%) . Liver MRI T2(*) results showed that in only 8 cases (5.9%) iron content in the liver was in normal range, 19 cases (14.9%) showed mild liver iron deposition;34 (25.2%) moderate and 74 (54.8%, the youngest one was only 6 years and 4 months of age) had severe iron deposition respectively. Cardiac MRI T2(*) showed that in 89 cases (65.9%) iron content in the heart was in normal range;19 cases (14.1%) had mild cardiac iron deposition and 27 (20.0%) presented severe iron deposition (the youngest one was only 9 years and 3 months of age) . SF level was obviously related to liver and cardiac iron deposition (MRI T2(*)) r and P value were -0.284, 0.003 and -0.374, 0.000 respectively. In 108 cases regular transfusion and chelation were delayed due to financial problem. The late and insufficient dosage administered and irregular chelation caused the higher SF level and the severe iron deposition.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The survival status of β thalassemia major in China is worrisome. Majority of them had not received regular transfusion and chelation. Liver and cardiac iron deposition occur early and had a high incidence.</p>
