Objective To investigate the characteristic changes of the auditory brainstem response (ABR) of normal hearing newborn and infants .Methods One hundred and forty -five cases (290 ears) normal hearing new-born and infants were enrolled for ABR test .Before that they passed the distortion product otoacoustic emissions and acoustic immitance test previously .According to age ,13 (26 ears) of 145 were included in the 1~7 days age group ,17 (34 ears) was in the 30~59 days age group ,20 (40 ears) in the 2~4 months age group ,19 (38 ears) in the 5~7 months age group ,17 (34 ears) in the 8~10 months age group ,18 (36 ears) in the 11~13 months age group ,12 (24 ears) in the 14~16 months age group ,13 (26 ears) in the 17~19 months age group ,16 (32 ears) in the more than 20~24 months age group .The control group was 20 (40 ears) normal hearing young persons (18~25 years old) .The variation of the peak latency and interpeak latency of waves were observed ,and compared with the normal young people .Results In 70 dB nHL click sound stimulus ,the peak latency and interpeak latency ofⅠ ,Ⅲ ,Ⅴ waves of normal hearing neonates and infants progressively shortened as they grew older .As they ap-proach 18 months or more old age ,their peak latency and interpeak latency of Ⅰ ,Ⅲ ,Ⅴ waves may be same as nor-mal young people .Conclusion With the growth of the age ,the peak latency and interpeak latency of Ⅰ ,Ⅲ ,Ⅴwaves of normal hearing newborn and infants gradually shortened .The reason may be related to the maturity of the auditory system .

Chinese Journal of School Health 2021;42(9):1380-1383
Objective:
To explore the differences in mental health between freshmen with and without disabilities.
Methods:
A comparative analysis of 6 114 freshmen with and without disabilities from an undergraduate college in Nanjing from 2018 to 2020 was measured by the SCL-90 Mental Health Symptom Self Rating Scale.
Results:
The positive detection rate of SCL-90 was 23.29%, and the positive rate of disabled students was significantly higher than healthy students( χ 2= 28.35 , P <0.01); Disabled freshmen were significantly higher than healthy freshmen in the levels of all factors( P <0.05); A longitudinal comparison of the positive detection rate of SCL-90 between the two groups of freshmen in three years, there was no statistical difference between the disabled freshmen( χ 2=5.82, P =0.06), there was a statistical difference in healthy freshmen( χ 2=29.43, P <0.01); After interview with positive factor students, the composition ratio of freshmen with disabled of A and B was higher than that of healthy freshmen( χ 2= 7.09 , P <0.05).
Conclusion
Mental health level of freshmen with disabled is lower than that of healthy freshmen. Mental health among freshmen without disabilities is worsening. The mental health of disabled freshmen is relatively stable, however, the proportion of students with psychological problems is relatively high, which requires attention.

Objective To survey on the intention of seeking pediatric service in primary care institutions among parents in Shanghai rural area .Methods A survey on the intention of pediatric care-seeking was conducted during June to December in 2016 using simple random sampling method in Fengxian District of Shanghai.Subjects were choosen from the parents visiting pediatric department in Xidu Community Health Center ( CHC) (289 ), parents having kids in the local kindergarten ( 121), and medical staff working in this district with children under age 14 (205).Results Total 615 individuals were surveyed and 572 responded with a response rate of 93.0%.The age of participants was (32.1 ±6.4) years, and they were 191 males and 381 females.Among all responders, 88.4%(505/571) wanted to have pediatric service in CHC, 9.5%(54/571) did not care and 2.1%(12/571) did not want.If the CHC had service provided by pediatric specialists , 81.5%( 466/572) intended to seek pediatric care in CHC , 10.8%(62/572) did not care and 7.7%(44/572) did not want.If the general practitioner provided pediatric service, the rates were 51.9%(297/572), 12.1%(69/572) and 36.0%(206/572), respectively.In comparison, the intention to seek care provided by pediatric specialists was stronger (Z =-12.553, P <0.001). Parents who were not medical professionals preferred to set pediatric clinic in CHC ( OR =6.849, P =0.026); parents who were not Shanghai residents preferred to see pediatric specialists (OR=2.732, P=0.033).Parents who were older than 30 years (OR=1.770, P=0.013), who were medical professionals (OR=2.093, P=0.003) or having children aged 0-3 years (OR=2.154, P=0.001) preferred to visit general practice clinics .Only 11.7%(66/562) would choose CHC when their children were ill . Parents who were older than 30 years (OR=2.083, P=0.038) or whose family income was less than 8 000 yuan/m (OR=1.967, P=0.030) preferred to choose CHC.The reason for choosing CHC was close to home for 93.8%(61/65) and good treatment effect for only 18.5%(12/65).The expectations of pediatrics in CHC included more comprehensive medical equipment (82.2%, 466/567), higher service level (77.8%,441/567), more complete medicine stock (74.8%, 424/567)and regular expert outpatient service (70.0%, 397/567).Conclusion Parents have strong demands of providing pediatric care in CHC, but the pediatric skills of general practitioners are not trusted .The CHC should upgrade related facilities and medicine stock for further improving the quality of pediatric service .

Objective To compare the toxicity between different dose fractionation regimens in postoperative radiotherapy for prostate cancer. Methods Patients with prostate cancer who received postoperative radiotherapy with moderate hypo-fractionation ( 62. 75 Gy in 25 fractions, 2. 51 Gy per fraction) or conventional fractionation (72 Gy in 36 fractions, 2 Gy per fractions) in our hospital from 2011 to 2017 were enrolled as subjects.All patients received intensity-modulated radiotherapy and daily cone-beam computed tomography image-guided radiotherapy. According to the propensity score matching ( PSM ) method, 35 patients treated with moderately hypo-fractionated radiotherapy were matched to 35 patients treated with conventionally fractionated radiotherapy based on age, irradiated volume, hormonal therapy, interval between surgery and radiotherapy, and comorbidities ( diabetes and hypertension). Toxicity was evaluated according to Radiation Therapy Oncology Group criteria. Comparison was made by the Fisher's exact probability test. Results One hundred and thirteen patients, consisting of forty-one in moderate hypo-fractionation group and seventy-two in conventional fractionation group, were enrolled as subjects. The median follow-up time in the two groups was 5. 6 and 45. 0 months, respectively. There were no significant differences in incidence rates of grade 2 acute gastrointestinal (GI) or genitourinary (GU) toxicity between the two groups ( 7% vs. 7%, P= 1. 000; 15% vs. 17%, P= 0. 847). After PSM, there were still no significant differences in incidence rates of grade 2 acute GI or GU toxicity between the two groups (9% vs. 11%, P=0. 814; 14% vs. 11%, P= 0. 670). None of patients reported ≥grade 3 GI or GU toxicity. Conclusions Preliminary results show that moderate hypo-fractionation, compared with conventional fractionation, does not increase the risk of acute GI or GU toxicity in patients undergoing postoperative radiotherapy for prostate cancer.
