Objective To develop a child neglect scale with Chinese culture background to assess the status of the neglected children in China,and examine the reliability and validity of the child-neglect scale(CNS).Methods Considering the cultural background of China,an item pool was established by revising items in correlative literatures and scales.Then,the first draft of the CNS was improved by reserving the effective items well graded by professional experts.A total of 871 students from 2 junior high schools and a vocational and technical college were involved in the study.Those students were surveyed with Parental Rearing Patterns scale and child neglect scale.Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were applied to the development and evaluation of the structure of the scale.Results The findings were as follows:the general Cronbach′s Alpha reliability was 0.85,the split-half reliability was 0.81,the test-retest reliability was 0.90. The CNS was made of the 4 sub-scales which was safe neglect scale,physical neglect scale,communion neglect scale and affection neglect scale.the general Cronbach′s Alpha reliability of the child neglect scale was 0.79-0.85,the split-half reliability was 0.64-0.81,and the test-retest reliability was 0.82-0.90.The item loadings of the neglect scale were over 0.30.The confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the ratio of Chi-square to degrees of freedom were 1.766,the goodness of fit index was 0.917,the Tucker-Lewis index was 0.916,and the root mean square error of approximation was 0.047.Criterion-related validity studies indicated that the scores of the CNS were significantly correlated with the rearing patterns as well(r=0.049,-0.465 P

reliability, content validity, construct validity, and criterion - related validity of the CNS are entirely in accordance with the psychometric demands.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of Hashimoto's disease(HD) accompanying with thyroid cancer,and to explore the experience of diagnosis and treatment.Methods Clinical data of 41 cases of HD accompanying with thyroid cancer were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were diagnosed by postoperative paraffin pathological examination from Jan.2002 to July 2011.Results 10 cases of HD,37cases of thyroid cancer,and 8 cases HD accompanying with thyroid cancer were diagnosed before operation.The rate of preoperative diagnosis was only 19.51％.All patients underwent surgical treatment,including 22 cases total thyroidectomy,14 cases subtotal thyroidectomy,and 5 cases lesion side lobe resection.24 cases underwent ipsilateral neck dissection,and 4 cases underwent bilateral neck dissection (ipsilateral radical resection,contralateral selective resection).Postoperative paraffin pathological examination proved that there were 39 cases of HD accompanying with thyroid cancer,1 case of focal cancer and 1 case of B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated thyroid.All patients were followed up.Conclusions The preoperative diagnosis rate of HD accompanying with thyroid cancer is low and great attention should be paid to its diagnosis.For HD patients,if carcinoma can not be excluded,surgical exploration is recommended.Appropriate surgical method should be chosen according to intraoperative frozen section results.Postoperative thyroid hormone treatment is usually taken.

Objective To study the epidemiological and clinical features of primary hyperthyroidism complicated with thyroid cancer.Methods Clinical data of 30 cases of hyperthyroidism complicated with thyroid cancer(hyperparathyroidism group)were retrospectively analyzed.They were chosen from the 365 cases of primary hyperparathyroidism treated by operation from Jan.2002 to Jun.2011.At the same time,30 cases of thyroid cancer without hyperparathyroidism were randomly taken out as the control group.Results The incidence of thyroid cancer in primary hyperparathyroidism was 8.22％ (30/365).The median course,preoperative diagnostic rate of thyroid cancer,and lymph nodes metastasis rate for hyperparathyroidism group and control group was 875.00 vs 120.00 days(z =-2.501,P ＜0.05),40.0％ (12/30) vs 66.7％ (20/30) (x2 =4.286,P ＜0.05),and 20.0％ (6/30) vs 46.7％ (14/30) (x2 =4.800,P ＜ 0.05) respectively.All patients were followed up with the average of 4.5 years,ranging from 1 month to 9 yeas and a half.1 case(3.3％)in hyperparathyroidism group recurred hyperthyroidism 5 years after surgery.1 case(3.3％)recurred thyroid cancer 1 year after surgery and received operation again,and 1 case(3.3％)died half a year after operation from respiratory failure caused by lung metastasis of thyroid cancer in the control group.Conclusions Hyperthyroidism complicated with thyroid cancer has the characteristics of high incidence rate of thyroid cancer in the hyperthyroidism patients,long course,high preoperative misdiagnosis rate,low lymph node metastasis rate,favorable prognosis and so on.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of perforin and granzyme B expression in peripheral blood lymphocytes and diagnosis of acute rejection in renal transplantation.
