Objective To investigate the behavioral problems and self-concept of children with oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and the correlation between them. Methods The subjects came from a sample survey of primary and middle school students' mental status in 6 regions in Hunan province. Achenbach child behavior checklist (CBCL) was filled out by parents. The Children's self-concept scale (CSCS) was completed by children themselves. Results There were significant differences between the scores of ODD group and the normal control among all CBCL subscales except the activities scale, and the scores for the CSCS scales were all lower in patients with ODD than the control group except for the physical appearance and attributes (P<0.01). In addition, according to correlation analysis, the CBCL scores yielded small but significant correlations with the CSCS scores for children with ODD(P<0.05). Conclusion Children with ODD have generally behavioral problems, poor social competence, and lower self-concept, whose behaviors were correlated with their self-concept.

Objective To observe the dilated cardiomyopathy ( DCM ) in non-Keshan disease areas in Shandong Province and assess scientifically the effectiveness of prevention and control measures on Keshan disease (KSD). Methods According to the scheme of DCM condition survey of our country in non-Keshan disease areas, seven representative counties(cities, areas) were chosen by their similarities in natural environment, production and life style to KSD areas; one or two townships ( towns ) were chosen in each county ( city , area ); one village was selected as a survey point in each township ( town ) . In each survey point , about four hundred and twenty natural populations were checked by asking detailed history, physical examination, and electrocardiography (ECG) tracings, and suspicious people were taken chest X-ray examination and cardiac ultrasound(UCG). The samples of inside and outside environmental were collected in partial residents and the selenium contents were detected by 2,3-diaminonaphthalene fluorometric method. At the same time the income, food of inhabitant and other basic information were collected. Results ① In 13 survey villages, sixty-four hundred and sixty-three residents were surveyed and 2 DCM cases and 111 similar potential KSD cases were detected, the detection rate was 1.75%(113/6 463). ② Sixty-four hundred and sixty-three residents were traced by ECG and the incidence of abnormal ECG was 20.4%(1 318/6 463), and sinus bradycardia, T-wave changes, sinus tachycardia, ST-T changes, occasional ventricular beating earlier, complete right bundle branch block, left anterior branch block, room premature beat, left ventricular high voltage, auriculo-ventricular block, et al were common. ③Samples of hair(260), wheat(260), corn (240) and soil (104) were collected, and the selenium contents were (0.353 ± 0.082), (0.035 ± 0.009), (0.024 ± 0.008) and (0.164 ± 0.019)mg/kg, respectively. Annual per capita income of each survey point was 2 500-8 670 yuan, and the residents’ main staple food was flour. Conclusion The results of DCM condition in non-Keshan disease areas of Shandong Province are stable and have provided a scientific basis for drawing up the national standard of eliminating KSD.

Objective To investigate the status of dietary fiber ( DF ) and dietary glycemic load ( GL ) in middle-aged and elderly population, and to analyze the correlation of DF and GL with abnormal glucose metabolism. Methods Subjects aged 40-79 years came from Guangzhou community. Dietary nutrients intakes were assessed by continuous 24 hours review for 3 days. Correlation of abnormal glucose metabolism with GL and DF and their interaction were analyzed as quintiles of the distribution. Results Of 1 832 subjects, there were 990 subjects (54. 0%) with normal glucose tolerance, 640 (34. 9%) with IGR, and 202 (11. 0%) newly-diagnosed diabetes mellitus(DM). AverageDFintakeofsubjectswas(11.5±4.5)g/dandaverageGLintakewas(181.0±7.5)/d. Compared with the highest quintile group of total DF intake, the risk of abnormal glucose metabolism in the lowest quintile group was increased[OR=1. 99, 95% CI (1. 48,2. 67)], with increased IGR risk[OR=1. 85, 95% CI (1.34,2.57)]andDMrisk[OR=2.36,95% CI(1.50,3.73)]. ComparedwiththelowestquintilegroupofGL intake, the risk of abnormal glucose metabolism in the highest quintile group was increased [ OR=1. 58, 95% CI (1. 18, 2. 13)], and with increased IGR risk[OR=1. 75, 95%CI(1. 26, 2. 42)] and DM risk[OR=1. 22, 95%CI(0. 77, 1. 94)]. The lowest quintile of DF and the highest quintile of GL was associated with the risk of increased abnormal glucose metabolism[OR=3. 43, 95%CI(1. 41, 8. 36)]. Conclusion Abnormal glucose metabolism was negatively related with DF and positively related with GL.

Objective To investigate the effect of dietary glycemic load (GL) on the blood glucose level in women with impaired glucose regulation. Methods A total of 120 women with impaired glucose regulation aged from 40 to 79 were enrolled from Guangzhou community to participate in the epidemiological survey on dia-betes mellitus, and were followed up for 12 months. Continues 24 -hour dietary review of 3 days were completed before and after intervention. The dietary GI, GL and the changes of blood glucose level during the 12-month follow-up were analyzed. Results Ninety-nine subjects completed the 12-month follow-up. According to the GL change percentage (ΔGL), all of the subjects were divided into three groups, including group Ⅰ(ΔGL < -30%)、group Ⅱ(ΔGL -30% ~ -10%) and group Ⅲ (ΔGL≥-10%). The reductions of HbA1c in group Ⅰ and groupⅡ were greater than that in group Ⅲ (P < 0.05). Conclusion To lowering dietary GL at 10% or more should be conductive to reduce HbA1C of women with inpaired glucose regulation.
