Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is caused by unilateral or bilateral diaphragmatic hypoplasia allowing abdominal organs to move into the thoracic,resulting in a series of pathophysiological changes,high mortality and poor prognosis.Therefore,earlier diagnosis is conducive to prenatal intervention and postnatal treatment.At present,prenatal ultrasonography is the most common used examination for CDH due to its convenience and low cost.MRI is complementary to ultrasound examination as it can evaluate both pulmonary development and maturity.Fetal echocardiography is a newly developed method in recent years which helps to indicate the prognosis through observation of hemodynamics and pulmonary vessels development.

Objective :
To learn the awareness of chronic diseases prevention and control and its influencing factors among high school students in regions inhabited by ethnic groups,so as to strengthen the prevention of chronic diseases among adolescents in these regions.
Methods:
Totally 1 050 high school students in Tuquan County,Hinggan League,Inner Mongolia were selected by cluster sampling method. The general information,family factors,attitude to learning,psychological factors,behavioral styles and awareness of chronic diseases prevention and control were investigated,and the influencing factors for the awareness were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression model.
Results:
There were 1 001 valid questionnaires recovered,with a response rate of 95.33%. There were 685 Han students,accounting for 68.43%,241 Mongol students,accounting for 24.08%,and 75 students with other ethnic minorities,accounting for 7.49%. The average awareness rate of chronic diseases prevention and control was 53.25%;the awareness rates of hypertension prevention measures,smoking and drinking hazards,food susceptible to aflatoxin pollution and high cholesterol food were high,all more than 70%;while the awareness rates of long-term high lipid hazards,high blood pressure diagnosis standard and diabetes symptoms was low,all less than 40%. There was no significant difference in the awareness rate of chronic diseases prevention and control among different nationalities(P>0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the students who were female(OR=1.309,95%CI:1.008-1.700),had high achievement(OR=1.509,95%CI:1.055-2.159),and thought exams were important(OR=1.570,95%CI:1.204-2.046)were more likely to have high awareness,while the students who spent five to less than eight hours a day on screens(OR=0.514,95%CI:0.335-0.789)were less likely to have high awareness.
Conclusions
The awareness rate of chronic diseases prevention and control of high school students in Tuquan County is 53.25%,and there is no significant difference between Mongol and Han students. Gender,academic performance,attitude to examination and time spent on screens can affect the awareness rate.
