To get formed of the status of research and application of the domestic behavior therapy and its development trend, the time distribution and the subject distribution were bibliometrically analyzed of the literature on behavior therapy from 1981 to 2000 in the CBMdisc. Our results showed that the number of literature of behavior therapy has been increasing in exponential manner over the past 20 years; the behavior modification, the biofeedback and the cognitive therapy are extensively used in China. In clinical practice, the behavior modification and the biofeedback have been applied in all departments of medical institutions, especially for treating the cardiovascular and the neurological conditions. The cognitive therapy has been employed mainly for the treatment of mental disorders (or dysphrenia), the aversive therapy mainly for material withdrawal, and the systematic desensitization for phobia. There was no report found on the clinical use of meditation. It is concluded that the study and application in behavior therapy in China is currently developing very fast.

Objective To determine the CT and MR findings of Madelung syndrome. MethodsFive cases of Madelung syndrome were collected in our hospital from February 2006 to June 2009, including 3 cases of typeⅠMadelung syndrome and 2 cases of typeⅡ Madelung syndrome. The 5 cases were all examined by CT, meanwhile 1 case by CT enhancement scanning and 2 cases by MR. The clinical characteristics and imaging manifestations were analyzed. Results CT and MR images in 3 patients of typeⅠMadelung syndrome displayed fat accumulation within the subcutaneous tissue of the upper trunk and deep layer tissue of neck. The diffuse masses were located around the neck, upper chest and shoulders, which were called horse collarandbuffalo humps. The other 2 cases of type Ⅱ Madelung syndrome displayed fat thickening within the subcutaneous tissue of the proximal extremities, anterior chest wall, showing special appearance of vigorous sailor. All the 5 patients showed fat deposit within the subcutaneous tissue of the anterior rectus abdominis, inguina and fat accumulation within the scrotum. CT showed proliferated fat at the subcutaneous tissue of the involved regions. The CT value of proliferated fat were between -30 and -70 HU. The proliferated fat tissue all could be displayed on MR T1WI,T2WI and T2WI fat suppression sequence, with typical hypointensity on T1WI and hyperintensity on T2WI, hypointensity on fat-suppression sequence and fibrous septation presenting among fat tissue. Conclusion Combination with the history of long-term alcohol abuse, the Madelung syndrome could be diagnosed by CT and MR, which had great value in the surgical planning for identifying the extent of disease.

Journal of Preventive Medicine 2020;32(2):135-138
Objective:
To explore the prevalence and trend of premature delivery in Shaoxing Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from 2007 to 2018, so as to provide evidence for prevention of premature birth and promotion of perinatal health care.
Methods:
The data of live births in Shaoxing Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from 2007 to 2018 were collected,and premature birth rate,proportion of premature infants in different gestational weeks,as well as the trend of gender ratio,asphyxia and birth weight with gestational weeks were analyzed.
Results:
From 2007 to 2018,there were 10 506 premature infants born in Shaoxing Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital. The preterm birth rate increased year by year (P<0.05),and the annual average was 9.09%. The rate of multiple premature birth was 57.80%,which was higher than that of single premature birth (7.26%,P<0.05). There were 110 cases of extremely preterm birth (1.05%),2 997 cases of early preterm birth (28.53%),and 7 399 cases of mild preterm birth (70.43%). The proportions of extremely and early preterm birth increased year by year (P<0.05). The asphyxia rate of premature infants was 9.70% (1 019 cases),which decreased with the increase of gestational weeks (P<0.05). The birth weight of premature infants decreased with the increase of gestational weeks (P<0.05). The ratio of male to female in preterm infants was 1.22∶1,which was higher than 1.10∶1 in term infants (P<0.05).
Conclusion
From 2007 to 2018,the preterm birth rate of Shaoxing Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital increased year by year,especially in extremely and early preterm birth.

Objective:
To examine the effect of early comprehensive interventions on the physical growth and nerve development among premature infants, so as to provide insights into the follow-up management of premature infants after discharge from hospital.
Methods:
A total of 130 premature infants delivered in Shaoxing Municipal Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from 2019 to 2021 were selected and divided into high- and low-risk groups according to gestational age and birth weight, while 306 full-term normal infants in the same hospital during the study period served as controls. All premature infants were given early comprehensive interventions until age of 12 months, including nutritional support and parental guidance of children's feeding and development, and all normal infants received periodical health checkup according to the basic public health service program. All infants received periodical measurements of height, weight and head circumference, and the 12-month intellectual and motor development ability was measured using the Bayley Scales of Infant Development revised in Chinese cities was used to assess. Infants' physical growth, mental development index (MDI) and motor development index (PDI) were compared among groups.
Results:
There were 130 premature infants with gestational ages of 28 to 36 weeks and birth weight of 1 200 to 3 440 g, including 79 male infants, and there were 80 infants in the low-risk group and 50 infants in the high-risk group. The full-term infants had a gestational age of 37 to 42 weeks, and birth weights of 2 500 to 4 000 g, including 162 male infants. There were significant differences in height (Wald χ2=28.664, P<0.001) and head circumference growth (Wald χ2=19.312, P=0.013) among the three groups as revealed by the generalized estimating equation; however, no significant differences were seen in the 12-month weight (F=0.639, P=0.528), height (F=1.051, P=0.350) or head circumference (F=0.318, P=0.728) among the three groups. The percentages of abnormal MDI were 2.00%, 0 and 1.31% among the high-risk premature infants, low-risk premature infants and full-term infants at ages of 12 months (χ2=1.319, P=0.517), while the percentages of abnormal PDI were 20.00%, 7.50% and 5.56% among the three groups at ages of 12 months (χ2=12.818, P=0.002).
Conclusions
Following implementation of early comprehensive interventions, the premature infants have favorable physical growth and comparable MDI with full-term infants; however, a high percentage of abnormal PDI is seen in high-risk premature infants. An improvement in the motor development among high-risk premature infants is recommended to be emphasized during the management of premature infants.

Circadian disruption is being increasingly recognized as a critical factor in the development and progression of Parkinson’s disease (PD). This review aims to provide an in-depth overview of the relationship between circadian disruption and PD by exploring the molecular, cellular, and behavioral aspects of this interaction. This review will include a comprehensive understanding of how the clock gene system and transcription–translation feedback loops function and how they are diminished in PD. The article also discusses the role of clock genes in the regulation of circadian rhythms, as well as the impact of clock gene dysregulation on mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation, including the microbiota-gut-brain axis, which have all been proposed as being crucial mechanisms in the pathophysiology of PD. Finally, this review highlights potential therapeutic strategies targeting the clock gene system and circadian rhythm for the treatment of PD.
