Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2009;18(2):142-144
Objective To study the development of children's understanding the probabilities of the causes of illness.Methods 120 5-to 9-year-old children were interviewed via open-ended items and forced choices about illness. Results There were statistical significance in their understanding of the probabilities of the causes of illness and their strategies of prediction among the three groups(χ2(2)= 50.134,P <0.01;χ2(6)= 95.781, P <0.01);in addition, there was statistical significance between the two educational backgrounds (χ2(1)= 11.162, P <0.01;χ2(3)= 35.043, P <0.01). Conclusion Some preschool-aged children viewed outcomes of familiar causes of illness as probabilistic. The children's understanding of the causes' probabilities appeared to be based on naive biology. 5- to 9-year-old children made probabilistic predictions from a single cause to multiple causes. Children coming from higher educational backgrounds outperformed their counterparts coming from lower educational backgrounds with respect to understanding illness.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between problem behaviorand father-child relationship in 4-6-year-oldchildren. Methods:Totally 102 children were recruited in a kindergarten in Beijing,with 36 aged four,36 aged five,30 aged six and 55 being boys and 47 being girls. Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL)was used to measure preschoolers'problem behaviors,and Family Relations Index (FRI)was adopted to assess children's rela-tionship with their fathers. Results:There were 41,49,and 12 children being classified as negative,neutral and posi-tive father-child relation respectively. Kruskal-Wallis Test revealed that there was no significant difference in scores of 3 CBCL subtests and 8 factors (P>0. 05 )among 4-,5-,and 6-year-old children. Children with negative father-child relationship scored higher on CBCL problem behavior subtests than those with neutral father-child relationship[30. 5 (7. 0,58. 0)vs. 16. 0 (0. 0,69. 0),P<0. 05 ]. They alsoscored higher on withdrawn behavior than children with neutralor positive father-child relationship [3. 0 (0. 0,4. 0)vs. 1. 0 (0. 0,6. 0),1. 0 (0. 0,4. 0),P<0. 05] . Mann-Whitney U Test manifested that boys scored higher in attention problem than girls (P<0. 0 1 ),but no gen-der difference was found in the other problem behaviors. Kruskal-Wallis Test showed that boys with negative father-child relationship scored higher than those with neutral father-child relationship on problem behavior subtest,anxie-ty-depression,attention problem,and internalized problem (Ps<0. 05 ). Boys with negative father-child relationship scored higher than those with neutraland positivefather-child relationship on withdrawn behavior (Ps <0. 05 ). No difference was found whether in CBCL subtests or problem behavior factors for girls with different types of father-child relationship. Conclusion:It suggests that the children with negative father-child relationship display more problem behavior and withdrawn symptoms;boys have more attention problems than girls;compared with girls, boys'problem behavior may be more closely related to therelationship with their father.

Objective:The aim of this paper is to analyze and evaluate the equity and utilization efficiency of public health resource allocation in 31 provinces and cities in China, and provides reference and basis for public health resource allocation planning. Methods:The allocation of public health resources was evaluated by cluster anal-ysis and used data envelopment analysis was to explore the efficiency of public health resource allocation. Results:The degree of aggregation of public health resources in densely populated and economically developed provinces and cities were greater than or close to 1 , and the difference with the population concentration was mostly less than 0 . The degrees of aggregation in less economically backward provinces were less than 1 , and the difference with the popula-tion concentration was mostly more than 0 . The average technical efficiency of public health resource allocation was 0. 44, and the mean of pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency were 0. 74 and 0. 64 respectively. Conclusion:The degrees of aggregation of public health resources in economically developed provinces and cities are higher, but the corresponding population is poorly distributed based on population distribution. For economically backward prov-inces and cities, the geographical availability of public health resources is poor. In addition, due to unreasonable re-source allocation structure and proportion, public health resources configuration efficiency is relatively low.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the pathogenesis and immunogenicity of H9N2 influenza virus A/Guangzhou/333/99 (a reassortant of G1 and G9 viruses isolated from a female patient in 1999) in a mouse model of infection.
METHODSMice were infected with increasing virus titers. Viral load in the lungs and trachea was determined by EID50 assay. Pulmonary histopathology was assessed by hematoxylin-eosin staining. Anti-HI antibody titers and T-cell responses to viral HA were determined by ELISPOT and confirmed by flow cytometry.
RESULTSMice presented a mild syndrome after intranasal infection with A/Guangzhou/333/99 (H9N2) influenza virus. Virus was detected in the trachea and lungs of mice harvested on days 3, 6, and 9 post-infection. A T-cell response to viral HA was detected on day 6 and H9 HA-specific CD(4+) T-cells predominated. Seroconversion was detected after 14 days and antibody persisted for at least 28 weeks.
CONCLUSIONOur results suggest that H9N2 (A/Guangzhou/333/99) can replicate in the murine respiratory tract without prior adaptation, and both humoral and cell-mediated immunity play an important role in the immune response.
