Objective To analyze the risk factors related to obesity of preschool children. Methods The physical activity and eating behavior of 120 obese children aged 1~6 years were investigated with questionnaire by case control 1:1 matched. Results Obesity group spent significantly longer time to watch TV than control group, but the time for physical activity, feeding pattern during the first 4 months, the time of initial supplementary foods and the sleeping duration were not different between both groups. Conditioned logistic regression of multi-variables showed that good appetite, fast eating, overeating of carbohydrate and meat , and snacks before breakfast were the risk factors of child obesity. Conclusion The bad eating behaviors and the lack of physical activity were related to obesity in preschool children.

Objective To study long-term outcome and prognostic factors of nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated by intensity modulated radiotherapy.Methods A total of 299 patients with nondisseminated nasopharyngeal carcinoma who received initial radiotherapy were analyzed retrospectively.The primary lesion and the upper neck received 70 Gy (5 fraction per week in all 30 fraction) by intensitymodulated radiotherapy (IMRT).The lower neck and the supraclavicular fossa was given 54 Gy (5 fraction per week in all 30 fraction) by a single anterior tangent field with spinal cord block.A median dose of 9.2 Gy (4-20.Gy) was given to the residual primary lesion by IMRT or X-knife.The Kaplan-Meier method was used for calculating the overall survival (OS),disease progression-free survival (DPFS),distant metastasisfree survival (DMFS),Log-rank test was used for evaluating the differences between groups.Multivariate prognostic factor was analyzcd by Cox method.Results The follow-up rate was 99.7%.119 patients were followed-up more than with 5 years.The 5-year OS for stage Ⅰ + Ⅱ,stage Ⅲ and stage Ⅳ were 97.1%,82.7% and 52.2%(x2=46.19,P=0.000),the 5 years DPFS were 100%,77.6% and 57.7% (x2=23.29,P =0.000),DMFS were 100%,82.3%,63.7% (x2 =16.57,P =0.000) respectively.The 5 year OS,DPFS and DMFS of male and female were 70.7% vs 94.1% (x2=16.82,P=0.000),71.5% vs 87.3% (x2 =4.74,P =0.029) and 77.2% vs 89.7% (x2 =4.38,P =0.036) respectively.For patients who were younger than 45-years,the male had a significantly unfavorable 5-year OS (66.8% vs.91.2%,x2=7.07,P=0.008),DPFS (59.9% vs.91.2%,x2=7.72,P=0.005) and DMFS (66.4% vs.94.0%,x2 =8.46,P =0.004) ;For patients who were old than 45-years,only OS was significantly different between male and female (72.2% vs.96.0%,x2 =10.19,P =0.001).Multivariate analysis showed the independent prognosticfactors for OS,DPFS,DMFS,were gender (x2 =14.27,5.72,17.64,P =0.000,0.017,0.000),TNM stage (x2 =5.33,15.70,10.57,P =0.021,0.000,0.001) and lymph nodes capsular invasion (x2 =4.30,11.08,21.24,P =0.038,0.001,0.000).Intracranial invasion and supraclavicular lymph node metastasis were independent prognostic factors for OS (x2 =13.32,5.38,P =O.000,0.020).Conclusions The TNM stage,lymph nodes capsular invasion and gender are independent prognostic factors for nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated by intensity-modulated radiotherapy.The patients of younger than 45years own a worse outcome.

Objective To evaluate three-dimensional reconstruction of MRI images in diagnosis and therapy of prostate cancer. Methods Twenty-eight patients with proven prostate cancers were recruited in this study. Seventeen of them were diagnosed as having prostate cancer according to the ultrasound guided systemic biopsy. Their MR examinations showed fourteen lesions in the peripheral zone and three in the central gland of the prostate. The other eleven patients underwent MR examination after a period of treatment, including endocrinetherapy and brachytherapy. Using endorectal coil, a series of T2-weighted images were acquired on the axial plane. These source images were processed by 3D-Doctor software to reconstruct into three-dimensional images. Results In the fourteen patients with peripheral zone cancer, reconstruction images could display the 3D regions of cancer and the involvement of capsular. The outspread of central gland and the compression of peripheral zone in patients with central gland cancer could be revealed in the same way. The volumetric changes of the lesion and the prostate after endocrinetherapy could also be perceived through these 3D images. Similarly, radioactive seeds were revealed in a spatial manner that could be easily evaluated. Conclusion Three-dimensional reconstruction images were obtained in all patients. They were able to provide stereotyped information about the lesions and their surrounding tissues. MRI three-dimensional reconstruction can be an adjunctive tool in the evaluation of prostate lesions.
