From October 2006 to December 2008,170 medical professionals(120 from a provincial hospital,and 50 from 10 district hospitals or hygiene stations),and 400 baby watchers who took care of children(aged<3 years)with diarrhea,rickets,pneumonia,or nutritional anemia were randomly assigned to reeeive health education or medical behavior intervention.The results showed that the basic knowledge on prevention and treatment of diarrhea,rickets,pneumonia,or nutritional anemia wad improved,and oral rehydration solution utility rate was significantly increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01).The rate of breast feeding was higher,and the use of auxiliary food became more proper and timely.The use of antibiotics decreased.The baby watchers got more suggestions,and their qualification rate of medical knowledge and disease.related treatment behaviors were improved(all P<0.01). Nerwork-based health education and medical behavior intervention may have significant effects on healthcare providers who look after urban children with diarrhea,rickets,pneumonia,or nutritional anemia.

Objective To analyse the influencing factors of quality of life (QOL)among postoperative children with congenital anorectal malformation (ARM), so as to provide evidence for developing comprehensive interventions and improve QOL of children with ARM.Methods The QOL of 100 children aged at 2 and 5 years old were evaluated by using the Chinese version of PedsQLTM4.0 scale, and the total and 4 dimensions scores of QOL were calculated.Univariate and multiple stepwise regression model was applied to analyse the influencing factors of the QOL.Results The results of univariate analysis among ARM children aged at 2 years old showed that the clinical classification, bowel disorders and family residence have different influence on QOL scores of the 4 dimensions and total scale (P ＜ 0.05).The results of univariate analysis among ARM children aged at 5 years old showed that the clinical classification, bowel disorders and maternal education had different influence on QOL scores of the 4 dimensions and total scale (P ＜ 0.05).The results of multiple stepwise regression model among ARM children aged at 2 years old showed that the major influence factor of QOL scores in physical function was family residence and bowel disorders(P ＜ 0.05), the major influence factor of QOL scores in social functioning was bowel disorders(P ＜ 0.05), the major influence factor of the total scores was bowel disorders and family residence(P ＜0.05).The results of multiple stepwise regression model among ARM children aged at 5 years old showed that the major influence factor of QOL scores in physical function was maternal occupation and clinical classification(P ＜ 0.05), the major influence factor of QOL scores in emotional functioning was bowel disorders(P ＜ 0.05) ,the major influence factor of QOL scores in social functioning was clinical classification and bowel disorders (P ＜ 0.05), the major influence factor of QOL scores in school performance was maternal occupation(P ＜ 0.05), the major influence factor of total scores was bowel disorders and clinical classification(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Family residence and bowel disorders have effct on QOL of ARM children aged at 2 years old.Maternal occupation, clinical classification and bowel disorders have effct on QOL of ARM children aged at 5 years old.We should take positive interventions on these influencing factors to improve QOL of children with ARM.

OBJECTIVES: Insulin signaling pathway plays an important role in metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), however, the association between polymorphisms of genes related to insulin signaling pathway and MAFLD remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the association between insulin signaling pathway-related gene polymorphisms and gene-gene interactions with MAFLD susceptibility in obese children so as to provide scientific basis for further study of genetic mechanism. METHODS: A total of 502 obese children with MAFLD who admitted to Hunan Provincial Children's Hospital from September 2019 to October 2021, were recruited as a case group, and 421 obese children with non-MAFLD admitted during the same period were recruited as a control group. Socio-demographic information, preterm birth history, eating habits, and exercise status of the subjects were collected by inquiry survey, and anthropometric information was collected by physical measurement. At the same time, 2 mL of venous blood was collected to extract DNA, and the polymorphism of insulin signaling pathway-related genes (5 representative candidate genes, 12 variants) was detected. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the association between insulin signaling pathway-related gene polymorphisms and MAFLD in obese children. RESULTS: After adjusting for confounder factors, INS rs3842748 was significantly associated with the risk of MAFLD in obese children in allele, heterozygous, and dominant models [OR and 95% CI 1.749 (1.053 to 2.905), 1.909 (1.115 to 3.267), 1.862 (1.098 to 3.157), all P<0.05]; INS rs3842752 was significantly associated with the risk of MAFLD in obese children in heterozygous and dominant models [OR and 95% CI 1.736 (1.028 to 2.932), 1.700 (1.015 to 2.846), all P<0.05]. NR1H3 rs3758674 was significantly correlated with the risk of MAFLD in obese children in allele model [OR and 95% CI 0.716 (0.514 to 0.997), P<0.05]. SREBP-1c rs2297508 was significantly associated with the risk of MAFLD in obese children in allele and dominant models [OR and 95% CI 0.772 (0.602 to 0.991) and 0.743 (0.557 to 0.991), all P<0.05]. SREBP-1c rs8066560 was significantly associated with the risk of MAFLD in obese children in allele, heterozygous, and dominant models [OR and 95% CI 0.759 (0.589 to 0.980), 0.733 (0.541 to 0.992), 0.727 (0.543 to 0.974), all P<0.05]. NR1H3 rs3758674 mutant C and SREBP-1c rs2297508 mutant G had interaction in the development of MAFLD in obese children [OR and 95% CI 0.407 (0.173 to 0.954), P<0.05]. CONCLUSIONS The INS, NR1H3, and SREBP-1c gene polymorphisms in the insulin signaling pathway are associated with the susceptibility of MAFLD in obese children, but the functions and mechanisms of these genes need to be further studied.
