Objective To explore the addictive tendency of internet and its influence factors among adolescents in Longhua District of Shenzhen. Methods A total of 6552 Students were selected from Longhua District of Shenzhen us?ing randomly stratified cluster sampling method. They were inquired about their gender, grade, family type, behaviors of surfing internet, risk behaviors, and internet addiction tendency with a self-report structured questionnaire and the adoles?cent pathological internet use scale (APIUS). Results The prevalence of addictive tendency of internet was 9.0%(590/6552) among adolescents in Longhua District of Shenzhen. Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that the addic?tive tendency of internet was significantly and positively associated with male (OR=1.32, P<0.05), living in Minzhi area (OR=1.66, P<0.01), secondary school stage (OR=1.62, P<0.01), uncomplete family type (OR=1.49, P<0.01), surfing in cy?bercafé frequently (OR=2.00, P<0.01), compared with surfing 0~2 h/d, surfing 2~4 h/d (OR=1.92,P<0.01), 4~5 h/d (OR=2.97, P<0.01) or more than 6 h/d (OR=4.90, P<0.01), playing games (OR=3.27, P<0.01), chatting (OR=2.80, P<0.01) or having other kinds of entertaining (OR=2.80, P<0.01), and having risky behaviors (OR=2.39, P<0.01). Conclusion The addictive tendency of internet is affected by multiple factors among adolescents in Longhua District of Shenzhen. There?fore, comprehensive intervention measures shall be used to regulate adolescents habits of using internet and prevent them from the internet addiction.

Objective To investigate the role of different parenting styles plays in conduct problems of 3-years-old preschool children.Methods Participants were from 148 preschools in Longhua Shenzhen,China.A structured questionnaire covering family demographic characteristics,Conners' Parent Symptom Questionnaire and Egna Minnen Betraffande Uppfostran-Parents (EMBU-P) were conducted among primary caregivers of each child.There were 9289 valid participants in the analysis and logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between three dimensions of parenting (rejection,emotional warmth and control/overprotection) and conduct problems.Results After allowing for certain confounders,parental rejection (OR =1.17,P＜0.01) and control/overprotection (OR =1.03,P＜0.01) was positively associated with conduct problems and emotional warmth was negatively related to conduct problems (OR=0.98,P＜0.01).Stratified analysis showed a significant relationship between conduct problems and both parents' rejection (OR father=1.16,P＜0.01;OR motber=1.17,P＜0.01),father's emotional warmth (OR=0.96,P＜0.01) and mother's control/overprotection (OR=1.04,P＜0.01).This relationship did not vary between boys and girls and between single and not single children.Conclusion Influence of parenting should be taken into consideration in the prevention and intervention of conduct problems.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effects of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) when applied postoperatively on the metabolism of branch chain amino acid in severely burned patients.

METHODSFifty burn patients, aged 12 - 50 years and inflicted by more than 30% TBSA with 10% or more of III degree burn and admitted from the January of 1999 to the January of 2001 were enrolled in the study. The patients were randomly divided into rhGH treating (rhGH group) and control groups. Escharectomy was performed within 3 postburn day (PBDs). rhGH (0.3 IU/kg) was injected percutaneously every evening for ten days since the 1st postoperative day (POD). The changes of the plasma levels of GH and branch chain amino acid and the urine level of 3-methyl histidine (3-MH) were observed in the morning in the patients from the two groups.

RESULTSThe plasma GH level before operation decreased obviously in two groups of patients when comparing with normal value (P < 0.05). The plasma GH level in rhGH group was evidently higher than that in control group since the 3rd POD (P < 0.05). There was significant increase of the output amount of urine 3-MH in all patients, but which was obviously higher in control group than that in rhGH group (P < 0.05). The plasma levels of branch chain amino acid in burn patients before and one day after operation were lower than normal levels. The plasma levels of valine, isoleucine and leucine increased to peak values at POD 3 in rhGH group and at POD 7 in control group and decreased thereafter. The plasma branch chain amino acid level in rhGH group was evidently lower than that in control group since POD 7 (P < 0.05). The plasma GH level in rhGH group was negatively and significantly correlated with the urine output amount of 3-MH (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONPostoperative application of rhGH in major burn patients might be beneficial to the protein synthesis from amino acids by skeletal muscles and to the decrease of muscle protein degrading rate.

This paper is to introduce our experiences in treating 2 batches of 13 burn victims transferred from remote areas on postburn days 3 and 4. Methods Thirteen burn victims of 2 mass casualties were transferred to our burns institute from remote areas on postburn days 3 and 4 on June 27, 2001 and June 2, 2002, respectively. There were 4 males and 9 females, age ranged from 20 to 43 years, with a mean age of 31.1±6.2 years. The mean total burn area was 74.3%±24.7% TBSA (range, 25% to 97%). Among them, 10 patients suffered from serious burn with mean total burn area involving 86.0%±11.5% TBSA (range, 60% to 97%), and mean full-thickness burn of 63.9%±26.3% TBSA. Four patients also manifested signs of severe inhalation injury, and 6 patients with moderate inhalation injury. In three patients with mean total burn area covering 35.5%±10.0% TBSA (range, 25% to 45%), with mean full-thickness burn of 15.3%±5.0%, were al having moderate inhalation injuries. Among these 13 patients, 3 were having high body temperature (39℃), while 3 manifested hypothermia. The heart rate was 140-160/min, and respiratory rate 26 to 32/min in 6 patients. Abdominal distension or loss of bowel sound were found in 4 patients. Low white cell and platelet count were found in some patients. In 13 cases, liver function, renal function, myocardiac enzyme, and coagulation function were abnormal. Results Among 13 burn victims, one patient died of myocarditis on postburn day 29, and another one died of hepatic failure (history of chronic hepatitis B) on postburn day 45 with only 2% TBSA of burn wound remained open. Conclusion Burns victims occurred in mass casualties who were transferred from remote areas to our Burns Institute were all in critical condition, usually with multiple complications, demanding most meticulous care. Our strategies in this regard consisted of dispatch of experienced surgeons and nurses to the referring hospitals and the airport to receive the patients to offer appropriate care to them during the journey,organization of the medical staff so that each of them was ordained specific function, thus conditions of the patients were evaluated immediately and appropriate treatment started expeditiously for those lethal complications on arrival. Timely and exact comprehensive treatments were prerequisite to save the patients’ life. Adequate metabolic support should be emphasized, and coagulant of anticoagulant treatment should be carried out when indicated.

Objective To explore the interaction between passive smoking and folic acid supplement during pregnancy on children autism spectrum disorder (ASD) behaviors.Methods Children aged about 3 years were enrolled at kindergarten entrance in Longhua district of Shenzhen in 2014.Self-administered questionnaires were completed by their primary caregivers and the information about children' s age,gender,history of preterm birth and low birth weight,parents' education level,parents' reproductive age and family income were collected.The children ASD behaviors were assessed with Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC).According to the cut point of ABC,the children were divided into normal group with score less than 31,sub-clinical group with score ranging from 31 to 61 and suspect clinical group with score no less than 62.After controlling for potential confounders,multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the main effects and the interaction between passive smoking and folic acid supplement during pregnancy on children ASD behaviors.Results Maternal passive smoking during pregnancy was significantly associated with children ASD behaviors (sub-clinical group:OR=1.48;suspect clinical group:OR=2.85),and maternal folic acid supplement during pregnancy was not related to children ASD behaviors (sub-clinical group:OR=1.04;suspect clinical group:OR=0.75).Stratified analysis showed that folic acid supplement during pregnancy was negatively associated with children ASD behaviors (suspect clinical group:OR=0.30) among children without mothers' passive smoking during pregnancy,and that mothers' passive smoking during pregnancy was positively associated with children ASD behaviors (sub-clinical group:OR=1.52;suspect clinical group:OR=4.45) among the children whose mothers had folic acid supplement during pregnancy.Furthermore,an interaction effect on children ASD behaviors was found between passive smoking and folic acid supplement during pregnancy (suspect clinical group:OR=5.30).Conclusion Passive smoking and folic acid supplement during pregnancy were related to children ASD behaviors and had an interaction on children ASD behaviors.
