Objective: To analyze the epidemiological status of overweight and obesity in various student groups and the prevalence changes in recent 15 years, in order to take effective preventive measures against obesity. Methods: Students aged 7 through 22 years participated in the 1985 and 2000 National Surveys on Students Constitution and Health were used as subjects. The newly established BMI screening criteria for overweight and obesity, to analyze the prevalence among various populations. Results: In 2000, the prevalence rates of obesity were 4.37%,1.46%,2.32% and 0.92%,and that of overweight were 10.38%,4.34%,5.94% and 3.67% for the urban boys, rural boys,urban girls and rural girls, respectively, which were all significantly increased in multiple times as compared with those in 1985. However, significant differences could be found among various areas. The prevalence rates of obesity in several metropolitans have reached 9.63% for males and 4.50% for females, and those of overweight have reached 15.29% for males and 8.77% for females, respectively. Most of the other areas are still staying at the early prevalence stage. The prevalence of obesity in the Western China is generally low, and actually no prevalence of obesity is found in the rural female population. Conclusion: It’s an urgent task to act on a series of comprehensive measures to prevent and cure the obesity of youth in China’s developed areas from now on. However, corresponding effective measures of obesity prevention are also needed in other areas of this country.

Objective To investigate the relation ship between the changes of platelet parameters and intracranial hemorrhage in premature children with low birth weight. Methods 73 premature children with low birth weight were selected as research subjects and divided into PIVH group (35 cases) and non PIVH group (38 cases) according to intracranial hemorrhage or not,and 20 normal newborns were selected as controls. The neonatal platelet parameters of three groups were detected and compared. Results There were 35 cases of 73 premature children with low birth weight occurred intracranial hemorrhage, the incidence rate was 47. 9%. The gestational age and birth weight of PTVH group were (29.3 ± 1.2) weeks and (1 653.0 ± 182. 1) g and which were significantly lower than the non PIVH group( all P ＜0.05) ; the asphyxia rate of PIVH group was 60.0% and which was significantly higher than the non PIVH group(P＜0.05). The PLT and PCT of PIVH group were (187.52 ±52.03) × 109/L and (0.127 ± 0.05) % and which were significantly lower than the control group (all P ＜ 0. 05) ; The PLT and PCT of non PIVH group were(223.48 ±42.15) × 109/L and (0. 189 ±0. 06)% and which were significantly lower than the control group(all P＜0. 05) ; The PLT and PCT of PIVH group were significantly lower than the non PIVH group(all P ＜ 0.05) ; while the MPV and PDW among the three groups had no significant difference ( all P ＞ 0. 05 ). Conclusion The abnormal decrease of PLT and PCT should be involved in the pathogenesis of intracranial hemorrhage in premature children with low birth weight, clinical attention should be paid to the monitoring of platelet parameters in premature children so as to alert and minimize its incidence.

BACKGROUND: Deficit of nivalenol (NIV) and selenium (Se) is related with kashin-beck disease (KBD) to certain extent. Hyaluronic acid (HA) metabolism affects directly the polymerization of proteoglycans (PG) and normal structure and function of cartilage. The integration with HA receptor on surface of cartilage tissue is the key link in HA metabolism. Being the main receptor of HA on chondrocytic membrane, CD44 expression impacts directly HA metabolism, further affects cartilage matrix metabolism, which is extremely important to maintaining the structure and function of cartilage matrix.OBJECTIVE: To probe into the injury and protection of related etiology of KBD to target tissue cells and the mechanism on degenerative necrosis of chondrocytes.DESIGN: Randomized controlled observation was designed.SETTING: Department of Genetics and Molecular-Biology of Medical College of Xi' an Jiaotong University.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed in Key Laboratory Room on Ministry of Education associated with Environment and Disease of Xian Jiaotong University from October 2002 to July 2004. One New Zealand pedigree young rabbit aged 30 days was employed and its humerus, femurs and tibia were cut out in surgery.METHODS: With cell culture, the model of bone tissue was reconstructed in vitro, in which, NIV of various concentrations, KBD suspicious infectious agent and Se, the protective factor were added. HA receptor CD44 on chondrocytic membrane and soluble CD44 in cell culture solution were determined.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Microscopic observation of adhesion molecule CD44 on chondrocytic surface. ② Soluble CD44 in chongrocytic culture solution.RESULTS: ① Microscopic observation of adhesion molecule CD44 on chondrocytic surface: CD expression in chondrocytic membrane was decreased with increasing of NIV concentration and it was in tendency of increasing with Se added. ② Soluble CD44 in chongrocytic culture solution:The concentration of soluble CD44 in cell culture solution was decreased gradually following the increased concentration of NIV, but it was increased in high concentration group and such tendency did not alter when Se added. Except blank control and Se control, significant difference was presented among groups (P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION: NIV disturbs adhesion molecule CD44 expression on chondrocytic surface and further induces metabolic disturbance of cartilage extracellular matrix. Se supplementation can resist the injury of NIV to chondrocytes, but its action is limited.

BACKGROUND: Having breakfast everyday is a behavior promoting health recommended WHO, while it is easy to be ignored.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the breakfast habits of pupils in Beijing and Shanghai so as to provide a scientific basis for further studying the problems in having breakfast among the pupils, drafting and developing "nutritious breakfast program for students".DESIGN: Stratified and cluster sampling and investigation study were used based on the pupils.SETTING: Institute of health for child of two universities.SUBJECTS: A total of 8688 six to eleven years old Beijing and Shanghai pupils were involved from March 2002 to June 2002. Among them 4692 pupils came from Beijing. There were 4637 valid questionnaires, 2386 of which were from male pupils and 2251 from female pupiIs. Among the total subjects, there were 4300 Shanghai pupils, and 4051 questionnaires were valid, of which 2031 were from the male pupils and 2020 from female students.METHODS: A self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted. The content of the questionnaire included the general conditions of the family, dietary preferences, food for breakfast, consumption of the milk food and so on.RESULTS: The results showed that about 25.8% boys and 21.6% girls in Beijing did not eat breakfast regularly; similarly, the percentage was about 11.4% for boys and 13.3% for girls in Shanghai. The reasons for not having breakfast included the following: They had no appetite, or had no enough time for it, or the parents were too busy to prepare in the mornings. For those of them who eat breakfasts, the nutrients of their breakfast usually were not adequate. 55% of the students had their breakfast prepared by their mothers. As for the eating sites, students mainly ate at home; the next was having it on the way to school or eating at the roadside luncheonettes. The cost of breakfast was 2 - 3 yuan. The breakfast behaviors of the pupils were closely related with the behaviors of their mothers( r = 0. 4333, P < 0.01 ).CONCLUSION: It is suggested that quality of breakfast of the pupils need to be improved. The behaviors of the parents influence their children in breakfast habits.
