The epidemic tendency of dental caries of school students over the past 15 years in China was analyzed in order to provide bases for prevention of dental caries. Data sets of boys and girls at the age of 7, 9, 12 years (deciduous caries) and 7, 9, 12, 14, 17 years (permanent caries) were collected from the series of Chinese National Surveillance on Students' Constitution and Health (CNSSCH) between 1991 to 2005, a survey that covers 30 provinces of and autonomous regions of China, with Tibet Autonomous Region and Taiwan Province excluded owing to unavailability of related data. According to their socioeconomic status, three urban regions and three rural regions (province capital must be included) were selected in each province, where its socioeconomic status and sports exercise can represent the general level of the locality. All subjects were Han students. Prevalence of deciduous and permanent caries was measured. In 2005, the prevalence of deciduous caries at 7, 9, 12 years was 52.87%, 52.04% and 9.80% in urban boys, 59.37%, 58.68% and 12.18% in rural boys, and that of permanent caries in boys at 7, 9, 12, 14, and 17 years was 2.35%, 5.63%, 13.94%, 19.05% and 21.29% in urban boys, 3.42%, 7.26%, 13.35%, 16.16%, 18.55% in rural boys, while in girls at the same age groups, the prevalence of deciduous caries was 53.53%, 49.48%, 7.92% in urban girls, 59.95%, 56.13%, 8.85% in rural girls; the prevalence of permanent caries was 3.61%, 8.99%, 19.32%, 24.75%, 28.62% in urban girls, and 3.47%, 10.65%, 17.66%, 22.52%, 24.27% in rural girls. The epidemic manifested a gradient distribution in age groups, which was closely related to region of the study population. A dramatic decreasing trend was witnessed among all sex-age subgroups in the rural groups between 1990 and 2005, and such a trend was stronger in deciduous caries than in permanent caries, however, this kind of decreasing trend was not steady, because there was bounce during some year. Although the morbidity of dental caries in China is lower than the standard set by the World Health Organization, and the prevalence of dental caries decreased from 1991 to 2005, the prospect of epidemic dental caries in China is in no way optimistic. The total population with dental caries is still very large and the prevalence decreased unstably. Therefore, financial support on school oral health care should be increased, and a national school oral health service network should be set up.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of calcium hydroxide in the treatment of dental pulp diseases. Methods The control group in the treatment of the conventional mummification agent, the study group used calcium hydroxide in the treatment process, compared the two groups of clinical curative effect, dental pulp disease patients the incidence of adverse reactions. Results The study group of dental pulp disease in patients with clinical total efficiency up to 92.00％, the control group of dental pulp disease in patients with clinical total effective rate was only 72.00％, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05).After the treatment of different measures, the incidence of adverse reactions in the study group (8.00％) was significantly lower than that in the control group(28.00％), the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The use of calcium hydroxide in the treatment of patients with dental pulp disease can significantly improve the clinical efficacy, and help to protect the quality of life of patients, physical and mental health.

The gene encoding the VP28 envelope protein of White spot syndrome virus (WSSV)was cloned into expression vector pET-30a and transformed into the Escherichia coli strain BL21.After induction,the recombinant VP28 (rVP28) protein was purified and then used to immunize Balb/c mice for monoclonal antibody (MAb) production.It was observed by immuno-electron microscopy the MAbs specific to rVP28 could recognize native VP28 target epitopes of WSSV and dot-blot analysis was used to detect natural WSSV infection.Competitive PCR showed that the viral level was approximately 104 copies/mg tissue in the dilution of gill homogenate of WSSV-infected crayfish at the detection limit of dot-blot assay.Our results suggest that dot-blot analysis with anti-rVP28 MAb could rapidly and sensitively detect WSSV at the early stages of WSSV infection.

In order to identify family factors obviously relevant to aggression, and offer a theoretical foundation for the prevention of aggression, 4010 students from primary and secondary schools in 5 different areas in Hubei province were surveyed. The Child Behavior Checklist " parents' form" (Chinese version) and the four scales of Family Environment Scale were used. A multiple logistic regression was used to identify risk factors of children's and adolescents' aggressive behavior. The results showed that maternal education, paternal occupation, family type, parental child-rearing attitude and patterns, students' interpersonal relationship were significantly associated with the children's and adolescents' aggression. The risk factors of aggression were parental child-rearing patterns, peer relationship, teacher-student relationship, and family conflicts.

BACKGROUND: The incidence of mental problems in adolescents is increasingly higher and has gradually become an important factor affecting their health and growth.OBJECTIVE: To probe into the mental health status and its influencing factors in adolescents in some cities and rural areas in Hubei Province.DESIGN: Clustering stratified random sampling, cross-sectional survey.SETTING: Department of Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology.PARTICIPANTS: According to the selected investigation spots of National Surveillance of Constitution and Health of Students, we selected representative urban areas (Wuhan City and Huangshi City) and rural areas (Yun County, Xiantao City, and Xiaogan City) in Hubei Province as sample spots. Totally 1 498 adolescents, aged 16-18 years, were surveyed by clustering stratified random sampling. There were 605 adolescents in urban group and 893 in rural group.METHODS: The self-made survey scale was used to investigate general conditions, such as age, parents' occupation and educational level, family type, social atmosphere, school type and atmosphere, and interpersonal relationship. Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) was used to determine the adolescents' mentalhealth status; 9 subscales (somatization, obsessivecompulsive, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, phobic anxiety, paranoid ideation, and psychosis) were set as the observation indexes. SCL-90 is an inventory which is rated on a 5-point scale. Factor score of SCL-90 ≥ 3 or total score ≥ 160 was considered mental disorders. The family educational pattern was investigated through Egma Minnen av Bardndosnaupporstran(EMBU) by questionnaires. It contained positive rearing pattern and negative rearing pattern. Positive rearing pattern (namely, affectional warmth and understanding) contributes to mental health, while negative rearing pattern (e.g. punishment, firm control, excessive interference, partialism or rejection, denial and excessive protection) is adverse to mental health. The family environment was investigated with Family Environment Scale(FES). Four subscales (intimacy, conflict, intellectual-cultural orientation, and positive-recreational orientation) with high reliability and validity were set as indexes. All participants were given unified instructions and required to fill in anonymous questionnaires. The questionnaires were then collected by the teacher in charge of the class.Some indexes of adolescents in the urban and rural areas were observed including the score of SCL-90 and its relation with general conditions,parental rearing pattern and family environment quality. The total scores of symptom checklist 90 were set as dependent variables for stepwise regression analysis of related factors.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:①The incidence of mental health ,gender and regional difference of adolescents in some cities and rural areas in Hubei province; ②The score of SCL-90 and its comparison with national norm;③Correlation analysis of the total scores of SCL-90 with general condition and parents' educational type.RESULTS: ① The general incidence of mental disorders was 18.13 ％ in the 1 498 adolescents in Hubei province. It was 18.20% in boys and 18.04% in girls with no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05). Regional differences: The incidence in rural areas [23.74% (212/893)] was significantly higher than that in urban areas [16.69% (101/605), P ＜ 0.05]. Among all kinds of mental disorders, compulsion, interpersonal sensitivity, hostility,paranoid ideation, and depression were more common. ② Comparison with the national norm: The factor scores of SCL-90 and family environmentalquality were significantly lower that those of the national norm.③ Single factor analysis: The total score of SCL-90 was obviously correlated with age, gender, parents' educational level and expectation, and school atmosphere (P ＞ 0.01). It was negatively correlated with positive rearing pattern (affectional warm, understanding) (P ＞ 0.01), but positively correlated with negative rearing pattern (punishment, firm control, excessive interference,partialism or rejection, and denial). It had significant positive correlation with conflict and significant negative correlation with intimacy, intellectualcultural orientation and positive-recreational orientation(P ＞ 0.01).④Multiple factor analysis: The mental health status of the students was closely related to age, gender, parents' educational level and expectation, interpersonal sensitivity as well as school atmosphere, parental rearing pattern,and quality of family environment.CONCLUSION: The incidence of mental problems in adolescents in some urban and rural areas in Hubei Province is relatively high. Score factors of SCL-90 are all higher than those of the national norm and the mental health level is poor. This has obvious correlation with family factors including age, gender, parents' educational level and expectation, and school atmosphere. Moreover, the quality of family environment and parental rearing pattern are the major factors affecting their mental health.

Objective:To explore the development characteristics of empathy in adolescents and the relations with aggression.Methods:With multistage stratified random sampling method,15 738 middle school students were selected from 5 provinces across China.The Buss-Warren Aggression Questionnaire Revised in China (BWAQ-RC) and Interactional Reactivity Index (IRI-C)was used to measure adolescents'aggression and empathy.Results:Girls had higher level of empathy than boys (P <0.001).Age and gender were interacted in predicting empathetic con-cern (P <0.001).Perspective taking was significant negative predictor of indirect aggression,physical aggression, hostile and angry (P <0.001),while empathetic concern was significant positive predictor of indirect aggression, verbal aggression,hostile and angry (P <0.001).Empathy was divided into 4 class used the K-Means clustering a-nalysis,namely,low empathy class,high perspective taking class,high empathetic concern class,high perspective taking and empathetic concern class.In contrast to other classes,individuals in low empathy class were more likely to involve in physical aggression (P <0.05),and individuals in high level of perspective taking and empathetic con-cern class were related with less physical aggression and elevated verbal aggression (P <0.05).Individuals in high empathetic concern class exhibited more indirect aggression,hostile and anger than other subgroups (P <0.05). Conclusion:The unbalance development of the two components of empathy may be closely correlated with different conduction of aggressive behaviors.

Objective To investigate the influence of service-learning model on medical graduates' ethical behavioral tendency. Methods A self-designed questionnaire was conducted among 302 medical students who have graduated in the last five years including the basic information, ethical behavioral tendency and participation of service-learning. The acquired data was analyzed and com-pared using chi-square test and unconditional logistic multiple regression. Results 68.2%(206/302) undergraduates participated in service-learning. Undergraduates participated in service-learning be-haved more ethical than those did not participated when facing the situation of patient' vomits (P=0.037). There were statistical differences in taking bribes from patients between those participated in service-learning and those did not (P=0.031). According to the results of unconditional logistic multiple regression analysis, whether participating in the service-learning is one of significant factors influenc-ing undergraduates' attitude towards bride-taking. Conclusions Medical students educated by service-learning model will exhibited more ethically accepted medical behaviors after becoming doctors. Ser-vice-learning model, a new medical education model, is worth promoting.

Objective To Establish an evaluation system of the quality of life for Chinese liver and kidney transplant recipients,and develop a specialized scale to measure the quality of life (QOL)for such recipients preliminarily.Methods By combining subjective and objective methods,this study determined the evaluation system and created items of QOL scale based on literature analysis,Delphi method (expert consultation),interviews,and experience of researchers.Then,a nationwide clinical survey was conducted on 5 Level Ⅲ Class A hospitals.454 valid questionnaires were collected,including 153 from liver recipients,and 301 from kidney recipients.Subjective statistical methods such as critical Ratio method,correlation coefficient method,dispersion tendency method,and exploratory factor analysis were used for selection of questionnaire items.Results The study established an evaluation system of QOL for liver and kidney transplant recipients,including 4 primary indexes and 12 secondary indexes,and developed QOL scales that were appropriate for liver and kidney transplant recipients respectively.Conclusions The structure of QOL scale for liver and kidney transplant recipients was basically consistent with theoretical assumption.The QOL scale for patients showed good reliability and validity,therefore,it can fully reflect the quality of their life.

Objective To explore the factors associated with the quality of life (QOL) in patients after liver and kidney transplantation.Methods A multicenter cross-sectional survey was carried out in 5 Level Ⅲ Class A hospitals.153 liver transplant recipients and 301 kidney transplant recipients of outpatient clinic follow-up from March to December in 2015 were selected and investigated with a self-designed general state questionnaire,and Quality of Life Scale for Liver and Kidney Transplant Recipients which developed by our research group.Results There were significant differences in QOL total score in liver and kidney transplant recipients among groups of marital status and occupation.Divorced,unemployed and low-educated patients showed lower QOL total score than married,employed and high-educated ones (P ＜ 0.05).As compared with non-living-related transplantation group,patients undergoing living-related transplantation presented a better status in QOL total scores (P＜0.05).The QOL total score was obviously lower in patients suffering from complications and rejection than in those without occurrence of complications and rejection (P＜ 0.01).Postoperative time was correlated positively and significantly with QOL scores,and variances existed among different stages postoperation (P ＜ 0.01).Multivariable regression analysis demonstrated that education,marital status,postoperative time,type of donor and chemotherapy were the factors influencing liver transplant recipients' QOL,while marital status,postoperative time,type of donor,medical care assurance,complications and rejection after operation had effect on kidney transplant recipients.Conclusion Attaching importance to QOF among liver and kidney transplant recipients,and implementing scientific and effective nursing intervention based on the characteristics of them are necessary.
