Objective This study aims to analyze the clinical epidemiology,diagnostic and treatment characteristics of minor patients with maxillofacial fracture and provide a reference for the prevention and treatment.Methods The clinical data of minor patients with maxillofacial fracture in Department of Traumatic and Plastic Surgery,West China Hospital of Stomatology,Sichuan University,from January 1,2015 to December 31,2020 were retrospectively studied and statistically analyzed in terms of age,gender,etiology,anatomic sites and treatment modalities.Results The mean age of the patients was(10.65±5.15)years,and the male-to-female ratio was 1.91∶1.High fall was the primary cause of maxillofacial fractures in minors aged 0-6 years.Traffic accident injuries were the main cause of maxillofacial fractures in minors aged 7-12 and 13-17 years.About 65.13%of the midface and 83.08%non-condylar fractures were mainly treated by surgery,and condylar fractures were treated conservatively in 74.73%and by surgical treatment in 25.27%.Conclusion The etiology of maxillofacial fractures in minors differs at different ages,so prevention strategies should be adjusted according to age.Surgical treatment has become the preferred treatment modality for midface and non-condylar fractures.Conservative treatment is still the main treatment method for condylar fractures,but the proportion of surgical treatment increases.

Objective To investigate the association between famine exposure in different life cycles and the risk of central obesity. Methods A total of 2234 spermanent residents were recruited to participate in the China Multi-Ethnic Cohort (CMEC) Study ,they were grouped into four birth cohorts of fetal-exposed (born between January 1,1959, and December 31,1961,95 cases), childhood-exposed (born between January 11,949, and December 31,1958,533 cases), adolescence/adult-exposed (born between January 1,1931, and December 31,1948,256 cases),unexposed cohorts(born after January 1, 1975,871 cases).we used logistic regression model to assess the effect of famine exposure on central obesity in adulthood. Results After adjusting for confounding factors, females in the fetal/infant exposure group(OR=3.283,95%CI:1.472~7.321,P<0.001)、childhood- exposed group (OR=3.557,95%CI:2.374~5.313,P<0.001) and adolescence/adult-exposed group (OR=5.785,95%CI:3.536~9.492,P<0.001) had a higher risk of adult central obesity than the control group.After excluding the subjects with coronary heart disease、cancer、diabetes、stroke or obesity, sensitivity analysis was carried out. The risk of central obesity increased in the female / fetal、childhood、adolescent / adult exposure group,which was unfound in males. Conclusion Severe famine exposure in fetal/infant、childhood and adolescence/adulthood can increase the risk of central obesity in adulthood in females. Therefore, the prevention and control of central obesity in female should start from the early life.
