ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo compare the neuropsychological development of infants with different types of morphologic cranial deformities. MethodsA total of 954 children aged 0 to 18 months who came to Beijing Children's Hospital from January, 2020 to August, 2021 for cranial measurement and neuropsychological development measurement were selected. They were divided into brachycephaly group, plagiocephaly group, asymmetric brachycephaly group, scaphocephaly group and normal group according to the cranial measurement. The development quotient (DQ) was calculated from Children Neuropsychological Development Scale (0-6). ResultsThere were 449 cases in the normal group, 94 cases in the brachycephaly group, 201 cases in the plagiocephaly group, 82 cases in the asymmetric brachycephaly group and 128 cases in the scaphocephaly group. The detection rate of Developmental Edge and Delay (DQ < 85) for gross motor area was the most in brachycephaly group (60.6%), and it was the most for fine motor (64.6%), language (45.1%), adaption (51.2%) and social behavior areas (48.8%) in the asymmetrical brachycephaly group. The DQ was different among the five groups for all the areas except the language area (F > 14.835, P < 0.001); compared with the normal group, DQ decreased for all the four areas in all the groups except the scaphocephaly group; DQ of the areas of gross motor, fine motor and adaption was more in the plagiocephaly group than in the asymmetric brachycephaly group (P < 0.05), while DQ of the areas of gross motor and fine motor was more in the plagiocephaly group than in the brachycephaly group (P < 0.05). Linear regression analysis showed that, DQ negative linear correlated with the cephalic ratio and cranial vault asymmetry index (|B| > 0.967, P < 0.05). ConclusionAmong four kinds of cranial malformation in infants, the neuropsychological development of the scaphocephaly group is almost normal, and somehow delays for brachycephaly, plagiocephaly and asymmetric brachycephaly, especially in the aspects of gross motor, fine motor, adaption and social behavior. The more serious the cranial deformity, the greater the risk of developmental delay in each functional area.

ABSTRACT

Autism spectrum disorders(ASD)is an important disease in children′s neuropsychic development disorder.The incidence rate is increasing now, which brings heavy burden to family and society.Functional studies of ASD related different single gene mutation models have showed that these overlapping phenotypes shared the common mechanism of the homeostatic synaptic plasticity impairment.Retinoic acid receptor α(RARα)regulate synaptic plasticity of the nervous system in both directions, through glutamate receptor subunit 1(GluR1)translation and RARα/mTOR signaling pathway, and affect the integration of sensory information and situational adaptive learning, and then affect the learning and memory function and neural synaptic signal network through the growth of dendritic spines.These researches suggest that RARα may work as a potential drug target for ASD, playing an important role in stable regulation of homeostatic synaptic plasticity, which is helpful for molecular typing accurate diagnosis and treatment of ASD.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To identify the relationship between exposure to mobile phones and other electronic products and the ability development in children.Methods:Retrospective study.A total of 218 children aged 0.5-6.0 years presented to the Department of Health Care, Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University form September 2019 to June 2020 for developmental examination were included.Those with nervous system, mental system diseases, endocrine system diseases and premature children were excluded.Their development was evaluated and the information about exposure to mobiles phones and other electronic products were collected. Chi- square test and Fisher′ s exact probability method were used to analyze the relationship between the exposure to mobile phones and other electronic products and the ability development in children.The influencing factors of children′s development in various fields were analyzed by the binary Logistic regression. Results:Abnormal fine movements of children aged 0.5-0.9 years were related to the latest time every night of exposure ( P<0.05). Abnormalities of adaptability, language and social self-care in children aged 1.0-2.9 years and abnormality of language in children aged 3.0-5.9 years were correlated with the number of hours of daily exposure (all P<0.05). Abnormalities of language and social self-care in children aged 1.0-2.9 years and abnormalities of adaptability, language and social self-care in children aged 3.0-5.9 years were correlated with the purposes of exposure (all P<0.05). Binary Logistic regression analysis indicated that the children′s gross motor was affected by the number of hours of daily exposure ( OR=1.868, P<0.05). The children′s fine motor movements were affected by mother′s educational level and the latest time every night of exposure ( OR=1.722, 2.355, all P<0.05). The children′s adaptability was affected by mother′s educational level, child caregivers, the number of hours of daily exposure and the latest time every night of exposure ( OR=1.711, 2.866, 1.895, 1.650, all P<0.05). The children′s speech was affected by the number of hours of daily exposure, the latest time every night of exposure, and the purposes of exposure (telephone or video phone, early education or study)( OR=2.348, 1.806, 0.328/0.350, all P<0.05). The children′s social interaction and self-care delay were affected by mother′s educational level, the number of hours of daily exposure and the purposes of exposure (telephone or video phone, early education or study)( OR=1.647, 2.678, 0.307/0.363, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The adverse effects of exposure to mobile phones and other electronic products on children should be well concerned.The exposure time of developing young children should be strictly controlled to prevent the adverse effects on the nervous system and development in children.For children who were already affected, relevant habits and behaviors should be timely corrected to avoid irreversible damages.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the correlation between social and linguistic parenting behaviors and developing capability of children with autism.Methods:From August 2020 to December 2020, the social and linguistic parenting behaviors of 302 parents of children diagnosed with autism were investigated in the outpatient department of the hospital.Meanwhile, the data of Gesell scale for children, the social life competence scale for infant and junior middle school students, the autism behavior checklist and the Cancy autism behavior scale were collected.SPSS 20.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Independent sample t test and analysis of variance were used to compare the social and linguistic parenting behaviors of different parents.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the social and linguistic parenting behaviors of parents and children's developmental ability and symptom severity. Results:There were no statistically significant differences in children's social and language development parenting behavior between father and mother ( t=1.033, P=0.303; t=-0.312, P=0.756). There were no statistically significant differences in children's social and linguistic parenting behaviors between fathers of different age groups ( F=1.425, P=0.244; F=1.127, P=0.345). Among mothers of different age groups, the social parenting behaviors of <30 years old and 30-34 years old groups were significantly better than those of 35-39 years old group ( F=3.374, P=0.019; LSD: P=0.010, P=0.006). Among fathers, the social parenting behavior( F=4.346, P=0.008; LSD: P=0.020, P=0.001) and social + linguistic parenting behavior in the graduate group and college group were significantly better than those in the high school/vocational group( F=3.965, P=0.012; LSD: P=0.020, P=0.002). Among mothers, the social parenting behavior ( F=2.812, P=0.040; LSD: P=0.008, P=0.023, P=0.009), linguistic parenting behavior ( F=3.769, P=0.011; LSD: P=0.010, P=0.025, P=0.001), social + linguistic parenting behavior ( F=3.654, P=0.013; LSD: P=0.005, P=0.015, P=0.002) in graduate and above groups were significantly better than those in college group, high school/vocational group, junior high school and below groups.The scores of social parenting behavior(40.72±6.80), linguistic parenting behavior(27.20±5.22), and social + linguistic parenting behavior(67.92±11.10) were significantly correlated with children’s fine motor(61.75±16.41)( r=0.193, P=0.001; r=0.153, P=0.009; r=0.190, P=0.001), cognition(68.28±16.83)( r=0.231, P=0.000; r=0.186, P=0.001; r=0.229, P=0.000), language(53.01±18.55) ( r=0.262, P=0.000; r=0.305, P=0.000; r=0.304, P=0.000) and social self-care(61.44±17.85) ( r=0.264, P=0.000; r=0.238, P=0.000; r=0.274, P=0.000). The scores of linguistic parenting behavior and social + linguistic parenting behavior were correlated with children's social life ability (8.65±0.89) ( r=0.142, P=0.046; r=0.140, P=0.049). There was no significant correlation between social parenting behavior, linguistic parenting behavior, social + linguistic parenting behavior and the scores of ABC scale (50.53±21.39) ( r=-0.089, P=0.336; r=-0.115, P=0.215; r=-0.107, P=0.250) and CABS scale (13.96±4.54) ( r=-0.050, P=0.490; r=-0.059, P=0.411; r=-0.058, P=0.421). Conclusions:The social and linguistic parenting behaviors are related to their age and educational level, and are significantly correlated to developing capability of children with autism, but have nothing to do with the severity of children's symptoms.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To understand the health status of children in an organization in the urban area of Beijing.Methods:From October to November 2019, 558 children aged from 0 to 13 of employees in an organization in Beijing received physical examination, including height, weight, ophthalmology and otorhinolaryngology, heart and lung examination, etc.Statistical analysis was conducted on the items related to physical status and with higher detection rate. Body mass index (BMI)≥P 85(P is the percentile compared to the standardized growth curve) was defined as overweight and BMI≥P 95 as obese. The rate and composition ratio were used to describe the relevant data of each item in children′s physical examination. The differences between different age groups and gender groups were compared with the chi-square test. Results:The items with high detection rate were overweight, obesity, rhinitis, caries, phimosis, etc. The ratio of children′s weight and height ≤P 10 were 3.4% and 2.7%, ≥P 97 were 12.0% and 7.0%respectively; the rates of overweight (BMI≥P 85) and obesity (BMI≥P 95) in children were 13.8% and 13.3% respectively, the ratio of weight ≥P 97, height ≥P 97 and BMI≥P 95all increased with age in all children and in boys (all P<0.05), the ratio of BMI≤P 5 increased with age ( P<0.05), and the ratio of body weight ≥P 75 decreased with age in boys ( P<0.05); the ratio of weight ≥P 75 in boys was significantly higher than that in girls ( P<0.05). The prevalence of rhinitis in children was 39.8%, among which the prevalence of allergic rhinitis was 14.9%.The prevalence of allergic rhinitis in the 3.0-5.9 age group of all children was significantly higher than that in 0.0-0.9 age group and 6.0-9.9 age group (both P<0.05), the prevalence of total rhinitis in the 3.0-5.9 age group of girls was significantly higher than that in 0.0-0.9 age group, 1.0-2.9 age group and 10.0-13.9 age group (all P<0.05). The prevalence of dental caries in children (excluding the group of 0.0-0.9 years old) was 26.0%, the prevalence of dental caries in the 3.0-5.9 age group of all children was significantly higher than that in 1.0-2.9 age group and 10.0-13.9 age group (both P<0.05), the prevalence of dental caries in 3.0-5.9 age group and 6.0-9.9 age group of boys and girls were both significantly higher than that in 1.0-2.9 age group (all P<0.05). The prevalence of phimosis in boyswas 31.5%, the phimosis rates were significantly higher in the 1.0-2.9 age group and 3.0-5.9 age group than that in 6.0-9.9 age group and 10.0-13.9 age group (all P<0.05). No statistical differences were found in the prevalence of allergic rhinitis and dental caries between obese and non-obese children ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The severity of overweight and obesity in children is beyond our expectation, the allergenicity problem is becoming more and more prominent, the prevention and treatment of dental caries needs to be improved urgently, and the phimosis problem in boys needs to be paid attention to.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the effects of calcium supplementation during the pregnancy and early infancy stage on body mass index (BMI) and gut microbiota in the infants.@*Methods@#A total of 1 752 healthy pregnant women and their infants (breast feeding) in two maternal and child health care hospitals of Beijing were chosen as the subjects in this study from May to October 2016. Questionnaires were used to obtain the general information and supplementation of calcium and vitamin D in mothers and their infants. The body length and weight of infants at birth and 6 months were recorded to calculate the BMI. The random number table method was used to randomly select 40 infants from each group for gut microbiota analysis (If less than 40 infants were all included in this study, 23 infants in the pregnancy and early infancy would be all treated with calcium supplements. There were 6 infants who was not added calcium during the pregnancy but added in the early infancy). Then it was compared that the effects of calcium supplementation during the pregnancy and early infancy on the BMI and gut microbiota composition of infants were determined at birth and 6 months.@*Results@#Compared to the group with no calcium supplementation during the pregnancy ((12.76±1.23), (17.68±0.76)kg/m2), the BMI of infants at birth and 6 months in the group with calcium supplementation during the pregnancy ((13.51±0.47), (17.91±0.23)kg/m2) were significantly higher(P<0.05). In the group with maternal calcium supplementation, the BMI at 6 months ((18.63±0.52)kg/m2), BMI increment ((5.71±0.54)kg/m2) and the content of lactobacillus (21.04%±3.68%) in the only calcium supplementation subgroup in the early infancy were higher than those in only vitamin D supplementation subgroup ((17.69±0.89) kg/m2, (4.17±1.01) kg/m2 and 12.28%±3.86%) (P<0.05). In the group without maternal calcium supplementation, the content of lactobacillus (20.15%±4.87%) in the only calcium supplementation subgroup were also higher than those in only vitamin D supplementation subgroup (14.64%±3.71%) (P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#Appropriate calcium supplementation during the pregnancy is good for the growth and development of the fetus. Calcium supplementation in the early infancy could increase the BMI of infants, and promote the growth of intestinal lactobacillus.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD) arises as a delayed and /or protracted response to a stressful event or situation of an exceptionally threatening or catastrophic nature. There have been reports about natural disasters causing PTSD, but there have been few reports about PTSDcaused by technological disasters. Our study investigated the mental status of those survivors after a serious explosion.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the characteristics and the factors of impact of PTSD caused by technological disasters.DESIGN: A case controlled study of the survivors of a momentous explosion.SETTING: A provincial mental health center.PARTICIPANTS: A serious explosion happened in Urumqi on September 8, 2000. Twenty-eight survivors(as the study group) who were still hospitalized for treatment 3 -5 months after the accident were involved in this study.

There were significant differences in all the assessments(IES, CMI, SDS, SAS,SCL-90) between the study group and the control group (t =3.62-8.17, P < 0.01 ) . The diagnosis of PTSD was positively correlated with the level of traumatic exposure( r = 0. 420, P < 0. 05), and negatively correlated with the degree of satisfaction with the post-event solutions( r = 0. 420, P< 0.05), positively correlated with IES scoring and the level of heart pain ( r = 0. 389 - 0. 665, P < 0. 01 ) . The total scores of IES were positively correlated with the level of exposure ( r = 0. 478, P < 0.05 ).CONCLUSION: The incidence of PTSD after explosion was high, and its occurrence was related with the degree of exposure in the event and that of the satisfaction with the post-event solutions.
