Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of unintentional injuries among children patients at age of ≤ 14 years so as to provide scientific basis for prevention of the children injury. Methods ICD-10 coding was used to retrospectively analyze the epidemiological characteristics of the children patients with unintentional injuries at age of ≤ 14 years admitted from January to December 2009 and the factors affecting the prognosis were discussed. Results There were 3011 patients, with 1991 males (66.12%) and 1 020 females (33.88%). The patients at ages of < 1, 1-4, 5-9 and 10-14 years accounted for 8.24%, 53.30%, 27.90% and 10.56% respectively. The patients from the rural and urban areas accounted for 56.16% and 43.84% respectively. Trauma was the leading sort of injuries in four age groups, accounting for 70.56%, 62.68%, 89.64% and 87.74% respectively. Fall from height was the first cause of unintentional injuries in four age groups, with proportion for 47.58%,36.39%, 51.90% and 56.29% respectively. Muhinomial logistic regression analysis revealed that hospital stay, therapeutic mode ( operation/non-operation), inhabitancy ( urban/rural), causes of injuries and injury severity on admission were the risk factors affecting the prognosis (P < 0.05 ). The rural areas caused higher risk of disability than the urban areas ( OR = 2. 170 ,P < 0.01 ) and non-operation produced higher risk of death than operation (OR = 6.352,P < 0. 01 ). Conclusions The male patients with unintentional injury are more than the female ones, with the highest incidence rate in children at age of 1-4years. Trauma is the main kind of unintentional injury and the fall from height the leading cause of injury.The difference of the rural and urban areas indicates that correct choice of the preventive measures based oh the condition of the local area can attain effective prevention and control of the unintentional injuries.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(3):398-402
Objective:
To explore cyberbullying and risk factors of middle school students, and to provide a reference for cyberbullying prevention in school settings.
Methods:
A stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 12 940 students from three junior high schools and four senior high schools in Yixing City of Jiangsu Province, China, to conduct a questionnaire survey from March 1 to May 31, 2019. The Chi -square test was performed to compare differences in the prevalence of cyberbullying among groups with different sociodemographic characteristics, and the multivariate Logistic regression model was employed to analyze the risk factors. A risk predictive nomogram model was constructed and then verified.
Results:
Middle school students were found to be victims of cyberbullying at a rate of 12.3%. The Logistic regression results showed that alcohol use ( OR =1.93), lack of emotional management ( OR =1.30), feeling unsafe ( OR =1.70), not trusting people ( OR =1.66), increased daily online time ( OR =1.39), higher frequency of using social software or websites ( OR =2.24), poor relationships with family members ( OR =1.46), parental neglect ( OR =1.50), class leadership ( OR =1.30) and poor relationships with classmates ( OR =1.34) were risk factors for middle school students who were victims of cyberbullying ( P <0.05). Based on these 10 independent risk factors, the nomogram prediction model, had good discrimination ( AUC =0.73).
Conclusion
Cyberbullying is common among middle school students. Internet use, parental neglect and class leadership all have an impact on cyberbullying.

Objective To explore the effect of continuous nursing intervention on limb function and nursing quality after proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) internal fixation for femoral intertrochanteric fracture in the elderly. Methods From February, 2017 to November, 2018, 100 elderly patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture who underwent PFNA internal fixation in our hospital were randomly divided into control group (n = 50) and observation group (n = 50), who accepted routine nursing and continuous nursing respectively for three months. They were assessed with Harris score and visual analogue scale for pain (VAS) before and after the intervention. The postoperative nursing effect was compared. Results The Harris score increased in both groups after the intervention (t > 45.98, P < 0.001), and increased more in the observation group than in the control group (t = 15.03, P < 0.001). The VAS score decreased in both groups after the intervention (t > 16.33, P < 0.001), and decreased more in the observation group than in the control group (t = 9.749, P < 0.001). The effect of nursing was better in the observation group than in the control group (Z = -2.272, P = 0.023). Conclusion Continuous nursing intervention can significantly improve the limb function and nursing satisfaction of elderly patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture after PFNA.
