Objective To understand physical and mental health status of children affected with AIDS and other children living in vulnerable families in a pilot county of the China /UNICEF AIDS Prevention and Care Project.Methods By random sampling,250 children of 0-17 years of age in a project county in Yunnan province were selected from 3 types of family:with family members affected with AIDS,with family members using illicit drugs,and poor family.Height were measured to all 250 children.Psychological questionnaire was used to interview 154 children over 6 years.Results There was no significant difference in height,but significant differences in psychological status among children from the 3 types of families.Among the children affected with AIDS,near 68% had difficulty or were indecisive in coping with problems in their daily life ;58% were worried about peer interaction;67% were relatively self-confident,which was lower than children affected by drug abuse,and the latter was 89%.Conclusion The mental status of children from the 3 types of family is different,and community care should be provided by considering the difference between them.

Objective To summarize the experience of HIV/AIDS preventive interventions among out-of-school teenagers and provide scientific evidence for the development of large-scale interventions in the future. Method Using both non-random snowball and cluster sampling approach,a total of 5,000 participants were selected from 7 provinces (9 provincial sites ) and a cross-sectional survey was conducted by employing a semi-open-ended self-administrative interview schedule to evaluate their behavioral change before and after the interventions. Results The rate of HIV related knowledge and condom use increased significantly among the participants. For instance,the rate of condom use when having sex at the last time increased by 34.86%,i.e. from 27.67% at the baseline to 59.88% after the intervention (?2=34,86,P

Objective To understand the current situation and motives of patients xeroxing medical records and the various factors affecting patients' right to know. Methods A cross-sectional survey was made on people who xeroxed medical records with self-made questionnaires and methods of descriptive analysis and stepwise regression analysis were then used to analyze 306 returned questionnaires. Results 98.37% of those surveyed showed approval for the procedures regarding the xeroxing of medical records; 98.04% felt satisfied with the hospital's medical records control; and the chief motives of patients xeroxing medical records were data keeping (28.57%) and medical insurance(27.12%). The current state of knowledge possessed by people xeroxing medical records about patients' rights was unsatisfying. Conclusion Patients' awareness of their right to xerox medical records and their satisfaction towards the hospital's medical records control are fairly high, and yet efforts still need to be made to step up propaganda among rural and elderly people.

Objective To compare the efficacy of the emergency ESWL within 24 hours after the onset of renal colic and elective ESWL at 5 - 7 days after the onset of renal colic in the treatment for ureteral stones.Method From January 2008 to October 2009, 365 patients in the Second Hospital of Nanchang, with ureteral stones were admitted to our department for renal colic. They underwent emergency ESWL or elective ESWL with HK. ESWL- 108 energy electromagnetic shock wave lithotripter. Success rate of fragmentation, stone-free rate after 2 weeks of operation, pain recurrence rate, and complications were evaluated. The data were analyzed using SPSS 15.0. Results The success rate of fragmentation and the stone-free rate after 2 weeks of emergency ESWL were 96.76% and96.21%, respectively, which were higher than those (88.33% and 87.22%, respectively) of elective ESWL ( P ＜ 0. 05). The postoperative pain recurrence rate of emergency ESWL ( 4.32 % ) was lower than that (9.44%) of elective ESWL ( P ＜0.05). There was no difference of total complications between emergency ESWL (3.24%) and elective ESWL (2.78%) group (P ＞0.05). Conclusions Emergency ESWL is superior to selective ESWL and is the safe and effective method for the management of ureteral stones.
