The obese children are increasing at a surprisingly high annual rate of 9.1 percent in China.Meanwhile children are lack of health consciousness and self-protection,thus obese children are more vulnerable towards obesity.Since parents are responsible for their children's daily lives and behaviors,the health education of obesity should be started with those parents with obese children.This paper calls to carry out health education aimed at parents of obese children through multiple means such as community health services,taking advantage of public media and establishing specific clubs,in order to effectively control the increase of obese children.

SUMMARY Delayed postoperative spinal epidural hematoma(DPSEH) is a rare and potentially devastating complication of laminoplasty, and cervical nerve root palsy occurs more frequently than DPSEH, especially with C5 nerve root palsy. The authors describe a case of DPSEH with C5 nerve root palsy that developed in a patient 3 days after he underwent laminoplasty. In this case, a 78-year-old man with a history that having taken Aspirin without the doctor’s instruction for 5-6 years,he underwent cervical laminoplasty for mild myelopathy. On the 3rd postoperative day, he complained of weakness of his left upper extremity and could not raise his left arm. The symptom aggravated in the next few days. On the 9th postoperative day, there was an obvious motor deficit of both upper and lower extremities. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated abnormal signal characteristics consistent with a hematoma at levels C3-C4, compressing spinal cord. The clot was evacuated during emergency revision surgery, and the postoperative course after the operation was uneventful and the muscle strength was improved five days later. Therefore, the symptoms of DPSEH are not so typical that its possibility should be kept in mind. Sometimes a differential diagnosis should be made with C5 nerve root palsy which may only represent weakness of upper extremities. The authors recommend that magnetic resonance imaging is helpful for the diagnosis of DPSEH and a revision surgery should be taken as soon as possible once the hematoma causing the neurologic deterioration was confirmed.

OBJECTIVETo record the electrical activities of Antirior cingulate cortex (ACC) neurons by in vivo multi-channel recording methods using the model of complete freund's adjuvant (CFA) induced conditioned place avoidance (C-CPA), which has been set up in our previous studies.

METHODSThe electrode was self-made and the CPA responses were recorded by in vivo multi-channel recording method.

RESULTS(1) The electrical activities of ACC neurons could be successfully recorded by the self-made electrode. (2) Before or after the injection of CFA, rats were respectively conditioned to the different place. The firing rates of ACC neurons in the CFA-paired place vs that in the non-CFA-paired place was (0.853 ± 1.377) imp/s vs (0.221 ± 0.971) imp/s (P < 0.05, n = 26). (3) The CPA responses in the CFA-paired place vs that in the non-CFA-paired place were (303.55 ± 61.77)s vs (140.32 ± 33.52)s(P < 0.05, n = 6).

CONCLUSIONThe firing rates of rACC (rostral Anterior Cingulate Cortex) neurons were involved in the occurrence of the affective pain.

Objective To establish a rat model of bone cancer pain by intra-tibia inoculation of Walker 256 mammary gland carcinoma cells. Methods Sixty female Wistar rots weighing 180-200 g were randomly divided into 4 groups (a=15each):groupⅠ normal control; group Ⅱsham operation; group Ⅲtumor cell inoculation + normal saline (NS) and group Ⅳtumor cell inoculation + flurbiprofen. NS 0.2 nd and flurbiprofen 10 mg/kg in 0.2 ml were injected IV at 2 h before determination of pain threshold on 14 and 17 d after inoculation oftumor cells in groupⅢand Ⅳ respectively. On day 0, 4, 7, 10, 14, 17 and 21 after inoculation pain threshold was measured after determination of body weight. X-ray examination of the tibia was performed on day 14 after inoculation. The animals were killed on day 21 after inoculation for microscopic examination of the inoculated tibia. Results The animals started losing weight and the threshold to yon Frey hair stimulation was decreased from dhy 10 after inoculation in group Ⅲand Ⅳ. X-ray examination showed destruction of bone and microscopic examination showed tumor growing in tibia. Flurbiprofen significantly decreased mechanical hyperalgesia in group Ⅳ. There was no significant difference in paw withdrawal latoney to radiant heat among the 4 groups. Conclusion A model of bone cancer pain can be made by inoculation of Walker 256 mammary gland carcinoma cells into tibia characterized by mechanical hyperalgesia.

BACKGROUND:Current basic and clinical research have showed that increases in bone resorption and bone loss accur earlier after spinal cord injury (SCI) than disuse atrophy, revealing that other mechanisms are involved in the pathogenesis of the SCI-induced osteoporosis (SIO).
OBJECTIVE:To introduce the current lab and clinical research progress in SIO focusing on the functional changes of two major neurotransmitters in the spinal cord, including dopamine (DA), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and their receptors, as well as their regulatory functions on bone metabolism, aiming at finding a new treatment strategy for SIO.
METHODS:A computer-based online search in PubMed and Embase databases was conducted for clinical and basic research related to SIO published from January 1967 to August 2016, using the keywords of“spinal cord injury;osteoporosis;dopamine;serotonin;5-hydroxytryptamine”in English. Irrelevant, poorly related and repetitive studies were excluded, and finally 41 eligible articles were included.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:DA and 5-HT are major neurotransmitters in the central nervous system, both involving in the regulation of bone remodeling. After SCI, loss of innervation and descending neurotransmitters especially DA, 5-HT and subsequent deregulation of their receptors are responsible for the onset of post-traumatic bone loss. The above research progress, in combination with the emerging clinical and lab investigations targeting 5-HT, DA and their receptors for improving neural functions after SCI, provides possible therapeutic pathways for SIO.

Objective To assess the diagnostic value of IMA,NLR,hs-CRP and CK-MB individually and the combined detec-tion for early acute myocardial infarction using ROC curve and Logistic regression.Methods To detect levels of IMA,NLR, hs-CRP,CK-MB and cTnI in serum or whole blood of AMI patients that had chest pain within 3 hours or between 3 and 6 hours,compared with 60 healthy people from Physical Examination Center.Applied Logistic regression,plotted ROC curve and calculated the area under ROC curve (AUC)to assess the diagnostic value of each index.Results The serum IMA,hs-CRP,CK-MB and cTnI or whole blood NLR levels of AMI patients with 3 hours were remarkably higher than normal con-trol,showing significant statistical difference (P<0.01)(AMI group:mean values of IMA,NLR,hs-CRP,CK-MB and cTnI were 96.04 U/L,3.77,13.39 mg/L,43.26 U/L and 0.063 ng/ml;normal control group:mean values of IMA,NLR,hs-CRP,CK-MB and cTnI were 78.10 U/L,2.02,3.12 mg/L,19.37 U/L and 0.040 ng/ml.The serum IMA,NLR,hs-CRP, CK-MB and cTnI levels of AMI patients in the group between 3~6 hours were higher than in the group within 3 hours (P<0.05).The AUC of combined detection of IMA,NLR,hs-CRP and CK-MB for early AMI was 0.98,higher than solo de-tection of IMA,NLR,hs-CRP and CK-MB,which were 0.89,0.83,0.79 and 0.85 respectively.Meanwhile,the AUC of com-bined detection for four markers also surpassed that of cTnI alone that was recognized as a classic serological marker to diag-nose AMI (AUC=0.78).Conclusion The combined detection of IMA,NLR,hs-CRP and CK-MB is superior to a single in-dex detection,which can significantly improve diagnostic efficiency for early AMI.
