Objective:
To explore the association of screen time with self-injury behavior in primary school students in China, to provide evidence for prevention on self-injury behavior.
Methods:
From June to November in 2017, 1 090 primary school students were selected by stratified cluster sampling method from Zhejiang, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Sichuan and Guizhou province in China, to analyze the association between screen time and incidence of self-injury.
Results:
Totally 5.6% students reported screen time over 2 hours per day, boy, rural students, students with low health literacy, ever drinking had a higher rate of screen overuse(χ 2=12.35, 6.94, 6.86, 16.86, P<0.05). The prevalence of screen overuse varied significantly by amount of pocket money(P<0.01). The prevalence of self-injury was 11.3%, students from western areas, boy, grade three, from rural area, adult relatives as guardians, low health literacy, smoking, drinking and screen time over 2 hours per day had a higher rate of self-injury behavior(χ 2=27.31, 11.49, 23.91, 22.12, 15.11, 55.16,19.03, 25.16, 19.35, P<0.05). Compared with the students with screen time less than 2 hours per day, multiple Logistic regression analyses showed that, the OR(95%CI) values of self-injury was 2.62(1.31-5.23) among students with screen time less than 2 hours per day.
Conclusion
The risk of self-injury behavior is related to screen time in primary school students, specific health education should be conducted to reduce screen time.

Objective:
To explore the association of health literacy with smoking attempt behavior among middle school students in China,and to provide ideas for health education for middle school students.
Methods:
Using stratified cluster sampling method, 1 066 students were selected from Zhejiang, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Sichuan and Guizhou provinces in China during June to November 2017, a questionnaire survey was conducted to collect health literacy and smoking attempt behavior.
Results:
The score of health literacy among middle school students was (13.49±1.87). Students who lived in eastern and rural areas, girls, guardians who were jointly supervised by their parents and grandparents, the only child, non smokers, and small amount of weekly pocket money had higher scores in health literacy( t/F =9.81,3.10,11.12,2.65,3.50,4.47,2.64, P <0.05). The prevalence of smoking attempt behavior was 5.5%. Multiple Logistic regression analyses showed that central and western China, drinking and low healthy literacy were positively correlated with smoking attempt behavior ( OR =2.75, 3.54, 21.62, 2.50, P <0.05).
Conclusion
Low healthy literacy can be used as a predictor of smoking attempt among middle school students, the health education should be conducted to control the smoking attempt behavior.

Objective:
To explore the association between incidence of injuries and health related behavior among middle school students in China, to provide evidence for injury prevention.
Methods:
A questionnaire survey was conducted among 1 067 students who were selected from Zhejiang, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Sichuan and Guizhou provinces by using stratified random cluster sampling method. Chi square test and multiple Logistic regression analyses were used to analyze incidence of injuries and health related behavior.
Results:
The prevalence of self injury among middle school students in five provinces was 11.0%, the prevalence of intentional injury was 13.2%. Multiple Logistic regression analyses showed that attempting smoking, not eating breakfast every day, having a low mood more than 2 weeks in the past 6 months were positively correlated with self injury ( OR=3.02, 2.04, 4.30, P <0.01) after adjusting for region, and the smoking attempt behavior was positively correlated with intentional injury ( OR=2.03, P <0.05) after adjusting for region, urban and rural, residence condition, weekly allowance condition.
Conclusion
Smoking attempt behavior could be viewed as a shared predictor for both self injury and intentional injury behavior among middle school students, smoking control intervention should be carried out actively among students.

Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics,imaging characteristics,treatment and progno-sis of unilateral pulmonary vein atresia (UPVA)in children and to improve the clinician′ s understanding of this disease. Methods The clinical data of 4 cases of UPVA from January 2014 to December 2016 in Department of Cardiology,Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center were retrospectively analyzed,and 50 cases from reviews of PubMed,OVID and Elsevier in the international medical literature database and 4 cases in Wanfang database for the domestic report were reviewed. The clinical characteristics,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of total of 58 cases were analyzed. Results Four patients,with an average age of 1. 8 years (1. 5 - 2. 7 years),showing congenital UPVA in 3 patients and secondary UPVA in 1 patient. There was 1 case of left upper pulmonary vein atresia,2 cases of left pulmo-nary vein atresia and 1 case of right pulmonary vein atresia. Three cases showed recurrent hemoptysis and recurrent cough occurred in 1 case. Three cases were complicated with congenital heart disease. There was one case underwent bronchial artery embolization,1 case received pulmonary vein left atrium connection,and 2 cases received conservative treatment. All patients had been followed up for 1 - 3 years so far. The patient receiving pulmonary vein left atrium had been completely cured,and the patient receiving bronchial artery embolization showed no occurrence of hemoptysis but still showed recurrent cough hemoptysis. The patient with secondary UPVA had no obvious clinical symptoms,the other 1 case who rejected operation and received conservative treatment still had recurrent pulmonary infection,intermittent hemoptysis. The average age of 54 cases(40 cases with age ≤18 years old)from the literature reports was 13. 76 years (8 days - 43 years)in which 52 cases were diagnosed as congenital UPVA,while 2 cases were secondary UPVA. Twenty - seven cases were right pulmonary vein atresia,22 cases were left pulmonary vein atresia,and 5 cases were other types. There were 94. 4%(51 / 54 cases)of the patients having recurrent cough,pulmonary infection,92. 6%(50 /54 cases)of the patients with exertional dyspnea and polypnea,68. 5%(37 / 54 cases)of the patients with hemoptysis and hematemesis. There were 50. 0%(27 / 54 cases)of UPVA patients who were complicated with heart malformation. Different degrees of pulmonary hypertension were observed in 75. 9%(41 / 54 cases)of children,and 35. 2%(19 / 54 cases)of patients had pulmonary lymphatic dilatation. Pulmonary resection was performed in 25 cases,pulmonary vein left atrium connection was performed in 11 cases,bronchial artery embolization was performed in 7 cases,and conserva-tive treatment was performed in 11 cases. After operation,most of the patients had good prognosis without obvious clini-cal symptoms or mild symptoms. Conclusions In clinical practice,if unexplained hemoptysis,recurrent lower respira-tory tract infection,pulmonary consolidation,pulmonary dysplasia or pulmonary hypertension present,the possibility of UPVA should be considered. Early diagnosis and early bronchial artery embolization,reconstruction of the pulmonary vein and atrial connection and repair of the defect of heart,can improve the symptoms or cure the children and reduce the morta-lity significantly.

Objective To investigate the application value of transjugular liver biopsy (TJLB) in the diagnosis and treatment of complicated and severe liver diseases. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 31 patients who underwent TJLB in The Fifth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital, including indication for puncture, success rate, and final diagnosis. Results Among the 31 patients, there were 15 male patients and 16 female patients. Percutaneous liver biopsy was unsuitable for 8 patients with liver failure and disturbances of blood coagulation, 13 with liver cirrhosis and ascites, and 10 with liver cirrhosis and thrombocytopenia (< 50×10 9 /L), which were the indications for TJLB. The success rate of TJLB puncture was 100%, with 2-4 passes for puncture. No serious adverse event was observed. Of all 31 patients, 26 (83.87%) had a definite diagnosis at discharge, among whom there were 5 patients with idiopathic portal hypertension, 9 patients with drug-induced liver failure or liver cirrhosis, 5 patients with autoimmune liver disease, and 7 patients with liver cirrhosis or liver failure due to other causes, and 5 patients had unknown etiology. In addition, 3 patients underwent biopsy to confirm the diagnosis and decision of whether liver transplantation should be performed. Conclusion TJLB plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of complicated and severe liver diseases and still has certain limitations, and therefore, suitable patients should be selected in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment strategy of the portal vein complications in children undergoing split liver transplantation. Methods The clinical data of 88 pediatric recipients who underwent split liver transplantation were retrospectively analyzed. Intraoperative anastomosis at the bifurcating site of the portal vein or donor iliac vein bypass anastomosis was performed depending on the internal diameter and development of the recipient's portal vein. A normalized portal venous blood stream monitoring was performed during the perioperative stage. After operation, heparin sodium was used to bridge warfarin for anticoagulation therapy. After portal vein stenosis or thrombosis was identified with enhanced CT or portography, managements including embolectomy, systemic anticoagulation, interventional thrombus removal, balloon dilatation and/or stenting were performed. Results Among the 88 recipients, a total of 10 children were diagnosed with portal vein complications, of which 4 cases were diagnosed with portal vein stenosis at 1 d, 2 months, 8 months, and 11 months after surgery, and 6 cases were diagnosed with portal vein thrombosis at intraoperative, 2 d, 3 d (n=2), 6 d, and 11 months after surgery, respectively. One patient with portal vein stenosis and one patient with portal vein thrombosis died perioperatively. The fatality related to portal vein complications was 2% (2/88). Of the remaining 8 patients, 1 underwent systemic anticoagulation, 2 underwent portal venous embolectomy, 1 underwent interventional balloon dilatation, and 4 underwent interventional balloon dilatation plus stenting. No portal venous related symptoms were detected during postoperative long term follow up, and the retested portal venous blood stream parameters were normal. Conclusions The normalized intra- and post-operative portal venous blood stream monitoring is a useful tool for the early detection of portal vein complications, the early utilization of useful managements such as intraoperative portal venous embolectomy, interventional balloon dilatation and stenting may effectively treat the portal vein complications, thus minimizing the portal vein complication related graft loss and recipient death.
