Objective To investigate the changing characteristics of the fractional anisotropy (FA) in cerebral peduncles and its relation with motor evoked potential (MEP) after acute cerebral infarction and to clear the clinical sigiificance of the low limit value of the FA in cerebral peduncles. Methods The low limit value of the FA in normal cerebral peduncles was determined based on mean - 1. 64 standard deviation. The patients with acute cerebral infarction (n = 58) were divided into MEP positive group and MEP negative group according to the absence and presence of MEP, in which the patients in the MEP positive group were redivided into the FA in cerebral peduncles < the low limit value and≥ the low limit value groups according to the FA in cerebral peduncles on the affected sides. Results The low limit value of the FA in normal cerebral peduncles was 0. 36. There was significant difference in the FA in cerebral peduncles on the affected sides between the MEP negtive and MEP positive groups. The MEP negative group was the lowest (P=0. 000). The FA in cerebral peduncles on the affected sides in the positive group was significantly lower than that on the unaffected sides (P=0. 000), and the latency on the affected sides was longer than that on the normal sides (P=0. 000). The FA in cerebral peduncles on the affected sides was negatively correlated with the MEP latency (r=-0.332,P=0. 042). The MEP latency in the FA<the low limit value group was significantly longer than that in the FA ≥ low limit value group (P=0. 002). There were no significant differences in the FA in cerebral peduncles on the normal sides and the MEP latency among an groups. The detection rate of the FA in cerebral peduncle<0. 36 on the affected sides was the highest (50%). Conclusions In the evaluation of the prognosis of the patients, the changes of the FA in cerebral peduncles on the affected sides in patients with acute cerebral infarction had correlation,consistency, and complementarity with MEP.The detection rate of the low limit value of the FA in normal cerebral peduncles was the highest in the MEP negative patients. When the FA in cerebral peduncles was<0.36 on the affected sides, particularly when MET was negative, it might predict that the prognosis was poor.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of multi-functional fire needling plus auricular plaster therapy for moderate to severe acne vulgaris.Methods One hundred and fifty patients with moderate to severe acne vulgaris were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 75 cases each. Both groups were first given bloodletting at Ear apex and Helix 4. Then the treatment group received multi-functional fire needling plus auricular plaster therapy and the control group, auricular plaster therapy alone. The symptom and sign score was recorded in the two groups before and after treatment. The clinical therapeutic effects were compared between the two groups.Results There was a statistically significant pre-/post-treatment difference in the symptom and sign score in the two groups (P<0.01). There was a statistically significant post-treatment difference in the symptom and sign score between the two groups (P<0.05). The total efficacy rate and the cure and marked efficacy rate were 98.6% and 88.7%, respectively, in the treatment group and 93.2% and 60.8%, respectively, in the control group. There was a statistically significant difference in the cure and marked efficacy rate between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Multi-functional fire needling plus auricular plaster therapy is an effective way to treat moderate to severe acne vulgaris.

Genetic risk score (GRS) is used for evaluating the effects of genetic susceptible factors in risk prediction models.Five methods are commonly used for GRS:i.e.simple count genetic risk score (SC-GRS),odds ratio weighted genetic risk score (OR-GRS),direct logistic regression genetic risk score (DL-GRS),polygenic genetic risk score (PG-GRS) and explained variance weighted genetic risk score (EV-GRS).This paper summarizes the models,application conditions,advantages and limitations of the five methods.The complexity of prediction models increased along with the inclusion of more susceptible SNPs,some method have been developed to solve the problems,but the effects of new methods needs further evaluation.
5.Using quantified recipes in schools in the areas of the Nutrition Improvement Program for Rural Compulsory Education Students in 2019
Chinese Journal of School Health 2022;43(12):1791-1795
Objective:
To analyze the usage and influencing factors of quantified recipes in schools in the pilot areas of the Nutrition Improvement Program for Rural Compulsory Education Students (NIPRCES), and to provide references for student meal quality improvement.
Methods:
In 726 national pilot counties in 22 provinces where the NIPRCES was implemented, a total of 7 808 schools were included in the analysis as the survey objects in 2019. Data, including the usage of quantified recipes in schools and related factors, were collected through questionnaires. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of the schools use of quantified recipes.
Results:
Among the national pilot counties where the NIPRCES was implemented, 66.6 % of the monitored schools used quantified recipes, of which 69.7% of schools in the central region used quantified recipes, it was higher than that in the west region(65.2%) ( χ 2=15.13, P <0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that factors such as the schools in the central region, county based schools, the training frequency of canteen with 1-2 times per semester or once or more per month, regular training of nutrition knowledge, recipes provided by other departments, consideration of nutrition matching when formulating recipes, using catering software, providing local dietary allowances were positively correlated with the use of quantified recipes in schools( OR=1.31,0.72,1.44,1.73,1.75,3.20,2.15,2.72,1.17,P <0.05).
Conclusion
The proportion of using quantified recipes of schools in the NIPRCES area was relatively low, which might be affected by factors including the regional economic level, canteen training, and recipes sources. It is recommended to strengthen the construction of professional teams and canteen training. Schools need to be encouraged to use quantified recipes and promote school catering scientifically to improve healthy growth of students.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2022;43(11):1642-1646
Objective:
To analyze the status of parents sharing meal expenses in the national pilot areas of the Nutrition Improvement Program for Rural Compulsory Education Students (NIPRCES) and its influencing factors, so as to provide scientific data for promoting the proper implementation of the NIPRCES and the healthy development of students.
Methods:
In the 726 national pilot counties in 22 provinces where the NIPRCES was implemented, 8 109 primary and junior high schools were selected as the survey objects and included in the analysis according to the three feeding methods of canteen feeding, enterprise feeding and mixed feeding. Data such as the basic information of the schools and counties, and the status of parents sharing meal expenses were collected through questionnaires. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of parents sharing meal expenses.
Results:
In the national pilot areas of the NIPRCES, schools where parents shared meal costs accounted for 30.2% of all monitored schools in 2019. In central and western areas, the proportion of schools where parents shared meal costs were 51.5% and 20.3%, respectively. In schools where parents shared meal costs, no matter in primary school or junior high school, the difference in the amount of meal expenses shared by parents of students in middle and western schools was statistically significant ( χ 2= 181.78 , 89.54, P <0.01). Among 38.7% of the parents of primary school students in the central region shared meal expenses of ≥2 yuan, and 47.5% of the parents of primary school students in the western region. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the parents of schools in the central region, junior high schools or nine year system schools, canteen feeding or other feeding, large school size, the nutritious meal subsidy used for lunch, middle and high family income level, medium and low input level of the monitoring counties, monitoring counties with other nutrition public welfare projects and insufficient working funds share a higher proportion of meal expenses ( OR=3.22, 1.51, 1.36, 1.74, 3.74, 1.38, 11.58, 2.40, 3.15, 1.50, 2.12, 3.36, 1.34, P < 0.05).
Conclusion
The proportion of meals shared by parents of school students in the NIPRCES implementation area was relatively low, which may be affected by factors such as economic level, feeding mode, school scale, etc.

OBJECTIVETo identify clinical characteristics of hospitalized laboratory-confirmed influenza cases of children under 15 years old, and their risk factors of influenza infection.
METHODSAnalyzing the reports of hospitalized laboratory-confirmed influenza cases of children under 15 years old who were detected by the sentinel surveillance systems in 10 provinces from December 2009 to June 2014. Such data as their demographic, medical history, clinical symptoms and signs, treatment and outcome were collected using questionnaires, with their clinical characteristics and their risk factors of influenza infection described.
RESULTSOf the 2 937 severe acute respiratory infection inpatients, 190 (6.5%) were laboratory-confirmed influenza cases. 123 (64.7%) of such confirmed cases were male, and 139 (73.2%) were children under 5 years old, with age median of 3.0 years (IQR: 1.0-5.0 years). 20 (10.5%) of them had at least one chronic medical condition, mostly chronic cardiovascular disease (3.2%), immunosuppressive disease (3.2%), and cancer/tumor (2.6%). Most common clinical symptoms of the cases were fever (92.6%) and cough (88.8%), of which abnormal pulmonary auscultation (51.1%) and abnormal chest X-ray performance (36.1%) were the most common clinical signs. 29 cases (15.8%) had complications, of which pneumonia (15.3%) was most common. 16 cases (8.6%) used antiviral drugs, and 4 cases (2.2%) were admitted into ICU. Risk factor analysis suggested that age < 6 months (OR = 0.406, 95% CI: 0.203-0.815) was a protective factor against influenza infection; and age 5-9 years old (OR = 2.535, 95% CI: 1.059-6.066) was a risk factor for influenza infection.
CONCLUSIONHospitalized laboratory-confirmed influenza cases were found mostly in children under 5 years old. Risk exposure for influenza infection varied among age groups.
