BACKGROUND:Platelet rich plasma contains various growth factors, such as platelet-derived growth factor, metastatic growth factor, insulin-like growth factor, epidermal growth factor as wel as vascular endothelial growth factor. Therefore, it can directly or indirectly promote cel differentiation and proliferation in different stages of bone regeneration.
OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of coral bone with platelet rich plasma in the repair of mandibular defects.
METHODS: Totaly 24 New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into three groups (n=8 per group) including test group, control group and blank control group. Coral bone with autologous platelet rich plasma, coral bone or nothing was implanted, respectively, after establishing unilateral mandibular defect models. The defects were evaluated by imaging observation and bone his-tomorphometric analysis at 2, 4, 8, 12 weeks after surgery.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 12 weeks after surgery, by imaging observation, density of the defect increased in the blank control group, which was lower than that of the normal bone; the bone density in the test group was higher than that in the control group, both of which were similar with the normal bone. Besides, the materials were closely combined with the new tissues. By bone his-tomorphometric analysis, area of the new bone in the test group was significantly larger than that in the control and blank control group (P< 0.05). In conclusion, coral bone with platelet rich plasma has good biocompatibility and bone conductivity, which can induce bone regeneration to promote defect repair.

Objective To elucidate the experience and attitude of bad news delivery from nurses to advanced cancer patients, in order to offer better nursing care to the dying cancer patients as well as to provide evidence for end-of-life cancer care. Methods A phenomenological research method of qualitative study was employed in this study. Fifteen nurses caring for dying cancer patients were in-depth interviewed with semi-structured interview guide. Colaizzi analytical method was adopted to collect and analyze the data, which was then organized into themes and subthemes. Results Three themes wereconflict between will and behavior barriers of bad news delivery delivery with comprehensive assessment of dying cancer patients. Conclusions Though the oncology nurses thought the dying cancer patients should be told they were dying, few nurses did that. Communication and hope maintenance related to end-of-life cancer care training should be offered to oncology nurses, as well bad news delivery to ensure cancer patients′safety.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2021;42(7):1068-1072
Objective:
To explore the association between growth patterns and blood pressure in children and adolescents with different nutritional status.
Methods:
A total of 38 839 children and adolescents aged 6 to 8 years old were included in this study by stratified cluster sampling. The American Academy of Pediatrics 2017 Guideline was used to evaluate the blood pressure, the US 2000 CDC standard was used to determine different growth patterns, and the WHO Child and Adolescent Growth and Development Standard issued in 2007 was used to evaluate nutritional status. Variance analyses were used to compare the levels of systolic and diastolic blood pressure and growth patterns by nutritional status, and χ 2 test was used to compare the difference of prevalence. Multivariate Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between growth patterns and blood pressure.
Results:
The proportion of normal growth, catch up growth and catch down growth was 33.2%, 41.6% and 25.2%, respectively. Under different growth patterns, systolic blood pressure (105.17±12.33) mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure (66.55±8.75) mm Hg of catch up growth were higher than those of normal growth and catch down growth. In overweight and obesity, the prevalence of hypertension (24.9%), high systolic blood pressure (18.9%) and high diastolic blood pressure (15.0%) in catch up growth were higher than those in normal growth and catch down growth ( P <0.05). The risk of catch up growth to hypertension was higher in overweight and obesity ( OR =1.18, 95% CI =1.06-1.31) than in normal children and adolescents ( OR =1.15, 95% CI =1.05-1.27).
Conclusion
In catch up growth children and adolescents, hypertension and high blood pressure are higher than normal growth and catch down growth. Overweight and obesity than normal children and adolescents have a higher risk of hypertension.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2021;42(4):489-492
Objective:
To analyze the cumulative effect of preadolescent lifestyles on the prevalence and incidence of elevated blood pressure (EBP) in children, and to provide evidence for early hypertensive intervention.
Methods:
In 2017, a cohort study on pubertal development was conducted in Xiamen, Fujian Province. Participants underwent a physical examination and questionnaire survey. Between 2017 and 2019, this study carried out a 2-year follow-up of 1 316 students whose complete data were obtained. Preadolescent lifestyles were assessed by referring to baseline survey results obtained in 2017, and the prevalence and incidence of EBP were determined according to blood pressure levels that were determined in 2019. The logistic regression model was used to analyze the influence of healthy lifestyles on the prevalence and incidence of EBP after adjusted for confounding factors.
Results:
The prevalence of EBP in 2017 and 2019 was 25.0% and 23.3%, respectively, and its incidence was 18.9% after the 2-year follow-up. Children with a healthy lifestyle had a lower prevalence and incidence of EBP. The regression analysis showed that children who have more healthy lifestyle factors were at a lower risk of EBP (P<0.05). Compared with students with 0-2 healthy lifestyle factors, the OR value of EBP prevalence was 0.52 (95% CI=0.30-0.90) and the RR value of EBP incidence was 0.60(95%CI=0.29-1.22) in children with 4-5 healthy lifestyle factors. Among them, children who were overweight or obese were at a significantly lower risk of EBP prevalence (OR=0.29, 95%CI=0.10-0.81).
Conclusion
Preadolescent lifestyles seemed to have a cumulative effect on the occurrence of EBP. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle had a positive effect on reducing the risk of EBP, particularly in overweight and obese children, and this was due to their adoption of a comprehensive healthy lifestyle.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2021;42(4):515-518
Objective:
To investigate the association between the combined effect of height growth and overweight/obesity with elevated blood pressure in Chinese children.
Methods:
Based on a cohort study of puberty development in Xiamen, a cluster sampling method was used to select 1 313 children whose complete height, weight and blood pressure levels at baseline were obtained in 2017 and during a follow up in 2019. The incidence of elevated blood pressure was compared between four different subgroups, and multivariate Logistic regression was performed to analyze the combined effect in boys and girls.
Results:
Among 1 313 children, the prevalence of elevated blood pressure at baseline was 25.2%. After 2 years of follow up, the incidence of elevated blood pressure was 19.7% and 23.4% in boys, and 16.6% in girls. After adjusting for factors including age, sex, family history of hypertension, sleep time, intake of fruits, vegetables, sugar sweetened beverages, and meat products, multivariate Logistic regression analyses showed that children in the high height growth and overweight/obesity group were more likely to exhibit a higher incidence of elevated blood pressure (overall:RR=2.41,95%CI=1.44-4.04;boys:RR=2.69,95%CI=1.45-5.02). Among girls, the risk of elevated blood pressure in the low height growth and overweight/obesity group also increased significantly (RR=4.47, 95%CI=1.45-13.75).
Conclusion
A large magnitude of height growth and being overweight/obesity were associated with elevated blood pressure in children, especially boys. Therefore, interventions that are targeted toward obesity prevention in children before pubertal growth spurts in height may be beneficial to reduce childhood high blood pressure.

Objective:
To explore the association between lifestyle and fat mass index (FMI) in different positions of children and adolescents aged 7-18, so as to provide a scientific basis for health promotion in children and adolescents.
Methods:
A total of 1 531 students aged 7-18 was selected by intentional sampling from 4 schools in Tongzhou District, Beijing from September to December in 2020 and August in 2022. Questionnaire survey was used to collect lifestyle including dietary behavior, moderate to vigorous physical activity, smoke and drink behaviors, sleep time and sleep quality. Dual energy Xray absorptiometry was employed to assess fat mass, and calculated total, android, trunk, hip, gynoid and leg fat mass index (FMI). The ttest and Chisquare test were used to compare the differences of different lifestyle. Logistic regression was used to analysis association between lifestyle and body composition in different positions.
Results:
Compared with healthy lifestyle, unhealthy lifestyle had higher risk for hightrunk FMI (OR=1.40, P<0.05). After adjusted for sex and age, unhealthy lifestyle had higher risk for hightotal FMI, highandroid FMI, hightrunk FMI (OR=1.37, 1.37, 1.50, P<0.05), compared with healthy lifestyle. Stratified analysis found the associations between unhealthy lifestyle and hightotal FMI, highandroid FMI, hightrunk FMI, and highthigh FMI were only significant in girls with 7-12 years old (OR=2.13, 2.46, 2.13, 2.13, P<0.05).
Conclusions
Unhealthy lifestyle is associated with hightotal FMI, highandroid FMI and hightrunk FMI. A healthy lifestyle should be maintained during puberty, especially before puberty, to help children and adolescents reduce body fat and promote a balanced distribution of body composition.
