Objective To analyze the indoor radon level and distribution characteristic in different geological background by studying the indoor radon level in three typical areas in Zhuhai City.Methods The region of investigation includes three districts:granite area in Zhuhai District,granite area in Doumen District and the Quaternary sedimentary area in Doumen District.Activated charcoal adsorption method was used to measure the indoor radon concentrations.In some sampling sites,solid state nuclear track detectors were used at the same time for the indoor radon measurement.Results The average indoor radon level included 80 buildings was (66.0 ± 49.8) Bq/m3 using activated charcoal adsorption method and the maximum value was 1078.5 Bq/m3.The results of 23 sampling sites show that the average indoor radon level using solid state nuclear track detectors was (88.8 ± 49.1) Bq/m3,and (69.5 ± 37.7) Bq/m3 by activated charcoal adsorption method.The indoor radon concentration was (73.6 ± 61.0),(87.5 ± 58.3) and (48.6 ± 22.6) Bq/m3 in granite area in Zhuhai District,granite area in Doumen District and the Quaternary sedimentary area in Doumen District,respectively.Conclusions The surface lithology of an area has a certain impact on the indoor radon level.The indoor radon level in granite area in Zhuhai District and Doumen District is apparently higher than that in the Quaternary sedimentary area in Doumen District.The study of indoor radon level and distribution characteristic should be discussed in combination with geological background of area.

Objective To explore the correlation of anxiety and depression with social support among caregivers of children with mental retardation and major related influencing factors.Methods 64 mothers of children with mental retardation were investigated by using the questionnaires of SAS,SDS and SSRS.The results underwent analysis.Results The incidence of anxiety among mothers of children with mental retardation was 23.4％,the incidence of depression was 40.7％.Mothers had higher scores of SAS and SDS than the national norm.The total score of social support was(32.19±5.02),which was lower than the national norm.The anxiety and depression was negatively correlated with social support.The influencing factors of anxiety and depression of mothers were family income.Conclusions The anxiety and depression among mothers of children with mental retardation was evident,the social supports for those mothers were insufficient.Effective social support was propitious to abate the anxiety and depression and promote quality of life of those children with mental retardation and their mothers.

The paper presented the characteristics of ambulatory surgery and the construction of a standardized management system in pediatrics. Every step of the process is standardized. Admission criteria cover all, including the children patients, surgeons, anesthesiologists, and surgical procedures, while preoperative postoperative evaluation is made and upon discharge as well. Surgery cancellation rate is reduced at all dimensions. Such rapid rehabilitation measures as preventive anti-vomiting, and shorter perioperative fasting time were introduced, along with effective post-discharge support. These efforts aim at exploring the safety and efficacy of standardized management approaches for pediatric day surgery, providing references for specialized pediatric hospitals.
