Objective To investigate the influence of different intervention models on autism spectrum disorder (ASD) children. Methods Eighty-eight children aged from 12-46 months and newly diagnosed ASD were randomly assigned to different intervention models, including standard intervention group (T1, n=55), non-standard intervention group (T2, n=11), and family intervention group (T3, n=22). The intervention data was recorded including time and methods. Chinese revised version of Psycho-Educational Profile (C-PEP) and social adaptive behavior scale were used to test the development quota?tion (DQ) before and after intervention. Results There were significant statistical differences in C-PEP scale and pathologi?cal score before and after intervention in T1 group (P<0.01). There were significant differences in the pathological score, in?terpersonal and cooperative behaviors, sensory patterns and language barriers after intervention in T2 group (P<0.05). And there were no significant changes in the developmental quotient. The perception, gross motor, cognitive performance and the developmental quotient of oral cognition were significantly reduced after the intervention in T3 group (P<0.05). There was no significant change in pathology score. Results showed that there were significant differences in the imitation, perception, cognitive performance, oral cognition and general development before and after the intervention between three groups ( P<0.05). Conclusion A significant effect is found in children with autism spectrum disorder after standard intervention.

Objective To evaluate the effects of folic acid supplement on subjects with different 5, 10-methylenetet-rahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) genotypes. Methods One hundred and eleven healthy women were divided into CC, CT and TT groups according to their MTHFR C677T genotypes. In each group subjects were randomly sub-divided into interven-tion (400 μg/d folic acid supplement) and control (usual diet) groups. The plasma folate, red blood cell (RBC) folate and plasma homocysteine (Hcy) concentration were measured at baseline and two months after intervention. Results The plasma folate was lower and the plasma Hcy was higher in the TT genotype than those in CC or CT genotypes (P<0.05 or P<0.01). After two months of intervention, the levels of plasma folate, RBC folate concentration increased while the plasma Hcy concen-tration decreased in all three intervention groups. Although the plasma folate concentration increased the most obvious in TT genotype than that of CC and CT genotypes, P<0.05), the plasma Hcy concentration decreased the most obvious in TT geno-type than that of CT genotype, P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the MTHFR TT genotype was a risk factor of high Hcy concentration, which was 8.078 times compared with that of CC genotype (P<0.05). Conclusion Folic acid sup-plement can significantly increase plasma folate and red cell folate concentration, and reduce plasma Hcy concentration in all MTHFR genotypes. TT genotype was the most dangerous in disorder of folic metabolic and high Hcy concentration. However, low-dose folic acid supplement cannot reduce the risk of high Hcy concentration.

Objective:To examine the concordance between bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in determining body composition of children aged between 3 and 6.Methods:A total of 230 children aged 3-6 from a kindergarten in Jinnan, Tianjin were enrolled in this study from November 16 th to December 8 th, 2017.The soft lean mass (SLM) and the body fat mass (BFM) of the children were measured by using BIA and DXA.The children were divided into several groups by sex, age and body mass index (BMI). The consistency of the body composition results between BIA and DXA in each group was analyzed. Results:The SLM and BFM assessed by BIA were significantly correlated with those measured by DXA ( R2=0.951, 0.947, all P<0.001). The Bland-Altman plots suggested that the SLM measured by BIA was 0.70 kg(95% CI: -1.78-0.38) higher in that by DXA, and the BFM measured by BIA was 1.36 kg (95% CI: 0.19-2.52) lower in that by DXA.A similar trend could be seen in children stratified by age, sex and BMI.The SLM of boys and girls measured by BIA was 0.57 kg (95% CI: -1.63-0.49) and 0.84 kg (95% CI: -1.88-0.20) higher than those by DXA, respectively.The BFM of boys and girls measured by BIA was 1.23 kg (95% CI: 0.11-2.36) and 1.49 kg (95% CI: 0.34-2.64) lower than that by DXA, respectively.The SLM measured by BIA was 0.67 kg (95% CI: -1.74-0.41), 0.76 kg (95% CI: -1.65-0.13), 0.69 kg (95% CI: -1.85-0.47) and 0.67 kg (95% CI: -1.75-0.41) higher than those by DXA in the 3 to 6-year-old groups, respectively.The BFM measured BIA was 1.09 kg (95% CI: -0.12-2.30), 1.44 kg (95% CI: 0.60-2.28), 1.39 kg (95% CI: 0.15-2.64)and 1.43 kg(95% CI: 0.38-2.48)lower than that by DXA in the 3 to 6-year-old groups, respectively.Moreover, the smallest difference of the SLM and BFM were observed between BIA and DXA in the obese child.The SLM deviation between BIA and DXA was estimated within ± 0.39 kg and the BFM deviation was within ± 0.93 kg. Conclusions:There is high consistency between BIA and DXA in the assessment of the SLM and BFM of children aged from 3 to 6.

Objective:To investigate the early behavioral characteristics of children with autism within the age of 1.5 to 3 years in order to provide basis for early diagnosis and intervention. Methods: Using mass random sampling, 8006 children aged 1.5 to 3 years in nine districts in Tianjin were screened with a self-made questionnaire. Totally 432 children with suspected autism were diagnosed and rated according to the diagnosing criteria of DSM-Ⅳ and assessed with the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS). Their behavioral characteristics were assessed with the Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC) and the early behaviors were compared between the children with autism and the normal children. Results: Children with autism in infants and suspicious positive group were different from normal children in 9 items such as" Abnormal language skills", "No index points the light", "No acts of posing as the game", "Could not normally play with toys, "and others(P <0.05). Children with autism in infants were different from suspicious positive group in 5 items such as"Children have no eye contact with others". The items with positive rate higher than 95% were interpersonal communicate barriers, mimic the functional deficiencies, language communicate barriers, non-verbal communication barriers and mental deficiency in CARS. The results of ABC showed that severe autism had much higher scores than mild to moderate autism both in the sense (S) and body function(B) areas [(8.00 ±3.30) vs. (5.15 ±2.58), (12.00 ±6.12) vs. (6.15 ±3.26); Ps <0.05]. Conclusion: The develop mental and behavioral symptoms can exist in early period of life of children with alltism, to which highly attention should be paid.

Objective:
To evaluate the daily average intake of dietary fiber of primary school students in Gongshu District, Hangzhou, in order to strengthen the diet guidance and health education.
Methods:
The method of stratified random cluster sampling was employed to carry out a dietary survey for 887 pupils from 2-6th grade selected from 4 primary schools in Gongshu District, Hangzhou City. The consumption of various kinds of breakfast in pupils’ diet was obtained through dietary survey. The content of dietary fibers in various kinds of food was determined by enzymatic-gravimetric method, and based on this, the daily average intake of dietary fiber of pupils in Gongshu District was calculated.
Results:
A total of 434 samples of 12 kinds of food in Gongshu District of Hangzhou were determined. The results showed that the dietary fiber content ranged from 0.31 to 2.17 g/100 g in all kinds of breakfast. The difference of dietary fiber content was statistically significant(F=76.50, P=0.00). Among them, noodles and soybean milk were found of more dietary fiber content. However, pupils’ dietary fiber intake for breakfast ranged from 1.82 to 3.04 g/100 g, and the intake was generally low, showing an increasing trend with the increase of grade. The difference of dietary fiber intake among the second to sixth grades was statistically significant (F=18.72, P=0.01). After comparison by SLD method, it was found that the difference of dietary fiber intake between the second and third grade (P=0.22), and between the fifth and sixth grade(P=0.30) were not statistically significant, but the others were statistically significant(P<0.05).
Conclusion
The unreasonable dietary structure and poor breakfast quality are common phenomena. Well-tailored education programs slaping of adequate and blanced dietary behaviors are in great needs.
10.Relationship between prepregnancy body mass index weight gain during pregnancy and offspring body composition during preschool age
Chinese Journal of School Health 2022;43(7):1090-1094
Objective:
To explore the relationship between prepregnancy body mass index, weight gain during pregnancy with preschool obesity and body composition in offspring, so as to provide evidence for gestational weight gain and childhood obesity prevention.
Methods:
A total of 1 333 preschool children were recruited from 3 kindergartens in Tianjin from September to December 2020. Structured questionnaire was used to collect children s lifestyle information. Height, weight and body fat mass of children were assessed, and body fat percentage (FM%), fat mass index (FMI) and non fat mass index (FFMI) were calculated. Maternal medical records were collected and the mothers were grouped according to their prepregnancy weight status and weight gain during pregnancy. χ 2 test, t test, linear regression model and Logistic regression were used to analyze the differences of obesity and body composition among different groups.
Results:
The prevalence of overweight and obesity in preschoolers was 12.7% and 7.7%. After adjusting maternal age and delivery, gestational age, gender, age and lifestyle of children, the correlation between maternal pre pregnancy BMI,gestational weight gain with obesity and body composition indexes of children in preschool age was statistically significant ( P <0.05). For mothers with normal weight before pregnancy, excessive weight gain during pregnancy increased risk of high FM% and high FMI in offspring ( OR=1.81, 1.68, P <0.05). There was no significant correlation between maternal weight gain during pregnancy with offspring obesity and body composition among mothers with prepregnant overweight or obesity.
Conclusion
Maternal weight status before pregnancy and weight gain during pregnancy are correlated with obesity and body composition in the preschool age of offspring. It is suggested that mothers should maintain appropriate weight status before and during pregnancy.
