ObjectiveTo study the intelligence quotient(IQ) profile of the children with idiopathic generalized tonic-clonic seizure (GTCS) and the factors influencing IQ of them.MethodsAll 28 children with GTCS were selected who were aged 9 ~ 16 years in 20 GTCS families in a mountain area of the south of Anhui Province,all available healthy siblings of the children included in the epilepsy group,did not have epilepsy,and were nearest in age to the children with GTCS ( control group 1 ),and thirty children aged 9 ~ 16 years old who had lived in the same village ( control group 2) entered into our study.The IQ was studied of the three groups of children and the factors influencing IQ of children with GTCS at the same time.The data were input SPSS12.0 and analyzed.ResultsThe IQ of children with GTCS(85.64 ±20.57)was lower than that control group 1( 103.39 ± 11.17)and the control group 2 ( 106.17 ± 11.67).The difference between children with GTCS and the two control groups were significant for almost all the subtest quotients except completion of drawing and picture arrangement.No significant differences were found between the control group 1 and the control group 2 on the IQ and the subtest quotients.IQ scores of children with GTCS showed significant linear correlation with father's education( r=0.453,P<0.01 ),age at onset of epilepsy( r=0.506,P<0.01 ),duration of seizure disorder( r=-0.533,P<0.0l ),status epilepticus( r=-0.732,P<0.01),total number of seizures( r=-0.761,P<0.01) and seizure frequency ( r=-0.708,P < 0.01 ).ConclusionThe IQ scores of the children with idiopathic GTCS are lower significantly than general children population.Epilepsy-related variables affecting IQ scores of the children with idiopathic GTCS are duration of seizure disorder,status epilepticus,age at onset of epilepsy,total number of seizures,seizure frequency.

Objective:
To evaluate effects of mobile health intervention on vegetables and fruits intakes, screen time, body mass index, BMI Z score and waist circumference in children and adolescents.
Methods:
The literature search was performed to find articles published up to December 2018 in the databases: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang. The articles focusing on the keywords of "prevention" "children" "adolescents" "obesity" "weight loss" "m-Health" "mobile phone" "mobile application" "mobile techonology" "cell phone" "smartphone" "mobile apps" for the delivery of children and adolescents obesity interventions were included. Stata 13.0 software was used for Meta-analysis.
Results:
A total of 15 studies were included, and mobile health had an effect on the vegetables and fruits intakes and screen time for children and adolescents. Mobile health was more effective in the intervention participants compared to controls, the standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95%CI were 0.54 (95%CI=0.27-0.81) and -0.32(95%CI=-0.47--0.18),respectively. However, no statistical differences in the BMI, BMI Z score and waist circumference were found between intervention and control groups.
Conclusion
The effect of mobile health intervention on obesity in children and adolescents needs more long-term follow-up and larger sample size studies to clarify.
3.Influence of birthweight and delivery mode on obesity among primary school students in Guangzhou
Chinese Journal of School Health 2021;42(2):277-281
Objective:
To explore the influence of birthweight and delivery mode on overweight/obesity and abdominal obesity in primary school students, and to provide evidence for childhood obesity prevention.
Methods:
After physical examination, questionnaire survey was conducted among 3 361 students and their parents from 3 primary schools in Guangzhou selected through stratified clustering sampling. Information about birthweight and delivery mode was collected. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association of birthweight and delivery mode with overweight/obesity and abdominal obesity. The multiplicative interaction term and the Delta method was used to explore the potential interaction.
Results:
The prevalence rate of overweight and obesity for primary school students was 21.33%, and the rate of abdominal obesity was 12.08%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that delivery by cesarean section was associated with 44% increased risk of overweight/obesity(OR=1.44, 95%CI=1.16-1.80), as compared to vaginal delivery. Higher birthweight was linked to increased risk of overweight/obesity(OR=1.62, 95%CI=1.09-2.42). There was no significant association of birth weight and delivery mode with abdominal obesity in multivariate analysis(P>0.05). Additionally, a positive additive interaction was seen between delivery mode and parental obesity for students risk of overweight/obesity(RERI=0.33, 95%CI=0.02-0.65), as well as for the risk of abdominal obesity(RERI=0.39, 95%CI=0.12-0.65).
Conclusion
Cesarean section delivery and higher birthweight are linked to increased risk of overweight and obesity in primary school students. The synergistic effect of cesarean section and parental obesity may increase the risk of childhood obesity.
4.Lifestyle pattern of middle school students in Guangzhou
Chinese Journal of School Health 2021;42(3):367-370
Objective:
To identify the lifestyle pattern of adolescents in Guangzhou and to provide a scientific basis for targeted and individualized interventions for adolescents with different lifestyle pattern.
Methods:
A survey was conducted by questionnaire among 12 540 students from 27 middle schools in the urban area of Guangzhou using a convenient sampling method. The latent class model (LCM) was used to identify lifestyle patterns of adolescents, and further analyses were conducted to compare differences in dietary habits and willingness to exercise among the different classes.
Results:
Three lifestyle patterns were identified based on the latent class model: "high sweet snacks/excessive screen time, sleep and exercise deficiency group", 3 797 people, accounting for 30.3%; "low nutrition diet/severe sleep and exercise deficiency group", 2 745 people, accounting for 21.9%; "general diet/sleep and exercise deficiency group", 5 998 people, accounting for 47.8%. Adolescents of different classes had different perceptions of their eating habits and different degrees of willingness to participate in physical exercise, these differences were statistically significant(χ 2=671.54, Z=153.16, P<0.05).
Conclusion
The results of the latent class model showed that the three classes of adolescents had their own unique characteristics. It is necessary to inform them of their needs, provide guidance and implement targeted interventions according to the unique characteristics of the different lifestyle patterns in empirical work.

Objective To investigate the frequency and location of cerebral microbleeds(CMB) in dementia with Lewy bodies(DLB)versus in Alzheimer's disease(AD).Methods This retrospective study included three groups of probable AD patients (n =156),dementia with Lewy bodies (n =67) and normal controls(n=172).Frequencies and location of CMBs in the three groups were calculated and recorded.The foci of MRI signal for CMB were confirmed by two radiologists at moments of unknowingness about diagnosis.The correlations of cerebral small vessel disease and cerebral amyloid angiopathy with the development of cognitive decline in AD were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of CMBs was higher in patients with groups of DLB(22.4 %,15/67) and AD(19.8 %,31/156) than in normal controls (8.2 %,14/172) (P =0.002 and 0.002),while there was no significant difference in incidence rate of CMBs between DLB and AD groups(P>0.05).The MRI signal intensity of CMBs was the highest in the occipital lobe of the DLB group,and was higher in the deep temporal lobe or temporal lobe in the AD group.Conclusions The frequency of CMB is higher in patients with DLB or AD than in normal controls and there is no significant difference in frequency of CMB between DLB and AD groups,which suggests that the pathophysiological mechanisms of CMB may be similar between AD and DLB.

Neurofibrillary tangle-predominant dementia(NFTPD)is one type of late-onset dementia, with memory disorders as the main clinical manifestation.The pathological feature is the presence of a large number of neurofibrillary tangle(NFT)in the hippocampus with no or little amyloid deposition in the brain.In recent years, primary age-related tauopathy(PART)has been proposed as a new pathological term, which means that NFT appears in the medial temporal lobe with aging, but no amyloid deposits, and NFTPD is one type of dementia associated with the progression of PART.
