Objective To understand the distribution of overweight and obesity in 0-5 years old children who were born small for gestational age ( SGA) in Shanghai through a cross-sectional investigation. Methods All resident children aged 0-5 years were included, covering all 18 districts in Shanghai. Health-check cards were prepared for SGA children. The check-up included weight,length/height and head circumference. Body mass index ( BMI) was used to evaluate the overweight and obesity according to the standard of World Health Organization ( WHO) . Results This study investigated 728 602 children aged 0-5 years in Shanghai,and ultimately 23 871 of them were defined as SGA,a-mong whom 9 805(41. 4%) were boys and 14 066(58. 9%) were girls. The BMI of SGA children were higher than that of appropriate for gestational age( AGA) from 4 to 18 months,while for the rest of the time,they were basically the same. There was no difference in changing tendency of BMI between SGA children and those AGA children. The distri-bution of overweight and obesity according to the standard of WHO in SGA boys among different ages was 7. 7% to 20. 7%, and 15. 7% in average;the distribution of SGA girls among different ages was 5. 9% to 18. 3%,and 12. 9% in average. The proportion of overweight at the age of 4-18 months was significantly higher than that of other ages. There was no correlation between overweight at 0-2 years old and overweight at the age of 5(P>0. 05). Conclusions Com-pared with SGA girls,overweight and obesity in SGA boys were more serious. The age of 4-18 months were the period of high incidence of overweight. There was no correlation between overweight at 0-2 years old and overweight at the age of 5.

Almost 3% of newborns are diagnosed as small for gestational age(SGA)worldwide.Born SGA is one of the important causes of perinatal morbidity and mortality,and is also associated with metabolic diseases in adulthood.Low birth weight by itself is insufficient to characterize growth restriction,as it does not include information about the neonate’s body proportionality.Depending on the origin,timing and severity of in-sult,small for gestational age infants are classified into two types:proportionate or symmetric growth restriction (SGR)and disproportionate or asymmetric growth restriction(AGR).There may be differences in physical and neurological development of these two types.This study compares three classification indexes,and to find differ-ences in postnatal growth of these two types.

Objective To identify the clinical risk factors of refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (RMPP) and their values in early diagnosis. Methods The retrospective analysis of clinical data was conducted in 142 children with Myco-plasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) admitted to Changhai Hospital of Second Military Medical University from Jan. 2012 to Jan. 2014. All children were divided into two groups, RMPP group (n=112) and MPP group (n=30). The comparison was made between two groups in clinical data. The factors were analyzed by the multifactor logistic regression. Results As compared to MPP, RMPP had longer fever duration, the higher ratios of large consolidation shadows, extrapulmonary complications and in-creased CRP level (P<0.05). The results of logistic regression indicated that the clinical risk factors included large consolidation shadows (OR=6.57, 95%CI:2.10-20.56), extrapulmonary complications (OR=11.66, 95%CI:2.42-56.08) and CRP (OR=14.87, 95%CI:2.67-82.79) (P<0.01). Conclusions Large consolidation shadows, extrapulmonary complications and CRP are clinical risk factors of RMPP. CRP elevation and lung imaging changes are valuable in early diagnosis of RMPP.

Objective To investigate the effect of bFGF and MSCs autografting on expression of PCNA and Ⅷ-R Ag of porcine skin defect wound. Methods Six male minipigs were used to produce 48 full-thickness skin wounds, each wound area about 2.54 cm~ 2 on both sides of the back (8 wounds per pig). These 48 wounds were randomly treated with bFGF, MSCs, bFGF+MSCs, and normal saline (12 wounds for each treatment). The tissue from the wounds was harvested on day 3, 7, 14 after surgery, then used for HE staining and immunohistochemical staining for proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and factor Ⅷ related antigen (Ⅷ-R Ag). Results Granulation tissue was presented in all groups on day 3 and 7 after wound, most abundant in the wounds treated with bFGF+MSCs, as well as blood capillary formation. PCNA expression increased after skin injury, reached the peak on day 7, most in the granulation tissue, and lasted to day 14, then began to decrease. On day 3, 7, 14 after skin injury, PCNA expression was the most highest in the wounds treated with bFGF+MSCs. Ⅷ-R Ag-positive cells in the wounds treated with bFGF+MSCs were significantly more than that of the other three treatments (P
