Objective To screen and identify the recombinants from the cDNA library of the adult Paragonimus west-ermani (PwA) for immunodiagnosis and immunoprophylaxis. Methods PwA cDNA library was screened with the PwA antigen immunized rabbit sera(IRS) pre-absorbed by the extract of E. coli XLl-Blue. The recombinants from positive clones were amplified by PCR, sequenced and cut off by KpnI/BarnHI and, then sub-cloned into pRESETB vector. The fusion protein was expressed,analysed by SDS-PAGE and identified by Western blotting with immune rabbit serum against worm antigen of Paragonimus westerrnani. Results The inserted cDNA fragment from the positive clone Pw-2 was about 800 bp, which contained an open reading frame(ORF) encoding Pw pre-procathepsin L belonging to cysteinase family. Expression product of Pw-2 was a fusion protein of 32 kDa, which can be recognized by immune rabbit serum against worm antigen of Paragonimus 晈esterrnani. Conclusion A recombinant plasmid Pw-2 encodes Pw pre-procathepsin L is constructed.

Objective:
To investigate the current status of picky eating among children and family-related factors, to provide scientific basis for diet intervention for children.
Methods:
A total of 1 829 children were selected from 5 kindergartens in Shenzhen and investigated by electronic questionnaire survey from March 18 th-20 th in 2020.The data was analyzed by SPSS 21.0.
Results:
The reported rate of picky eating behavior among children was 43.8%. Parents-picky eating behavior, children s preference to eating snacks, parental worries on children s appetite, parents attitude toward the food disliked by children were positively correlated to children s picky eating behaviors[OR(95%CI)=3.86(2.74-5.43), 1.44(1.15-1.80), 3.21(2.45-4.22), 2.21(1.65-2.95)]; however, eating various food under the instruction of their parents was negatively correlated to children s behaviors[OR(95%CI)=0.38(0.29-0.49)](P<0.05).
Conclusion
The reported rate of picky eating behaviors of children on holiday is lower than usual, but parents should to help them develop good dietary habits, prevent picky eating among children.

Objective:
To investigate eating behavior and associated family factors of preschool children during the prevalence of Corona Virus Disease(COVID-19), and to provide scientific basis for healthy eating behavior for preschool children.
Methods:
A total of 1 829 preschool children were investigated by electronic questionnaire from 5 kindergartens in Shenzhen from March 18-20, 2020. SPSS 19.0 was used to perform logistic regression analysis on the factors for eating behavior.
Results:
The rate of unhealthy eating behavior during the prevalence of COVID-19 was 47.2%. The rate of unhealthy eating behaviors in boys and girls were 46.1% and 48.4%, respectively. And there was no significant difference between different genders(χ 2=1.02,P=0.31). The rate of unhealthy eating behaviors of preschool children aged 3-, 4-, 5- and 6- were 56.6%, 56.8%, 42.3% and 29.9%, respectively, and the differences between different ages were significant(χ 2=72.17,P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that fathers high education level, mothers education level(OR=0.78,0.77,0.21), and parents satisfaction with children s eating were associated with low nutritional problems of child, while parental permission to play while eating, criticize while eating, force child to eat more and force child to eat foods they do not like, and parental concerns about children s appetite, were associated with more unhealthy eating behavior(OR=6.29,1.80,2.20,1.70,2.16)(P<0.05).
Conclusion
The prevalence of unhealthy eating behaviors of preschool children during the prevalence of COVID-19 is lower than usual, but the health education of preschool children s families still needs to be strengthened.

【Objective】 To explore the effect of health education intervention measures on improving parents′ perception of their children′s weight, so as to provide scientific basis for intervention in preschool obese children. 【Methods】 Children from 7 kindergartens in Luohu district were randomly selected in this study in October 2020, and were divided into intervention group and control group. The intervention group consisted of 1 318 children and parents from 3 kindergartens, and the control group consisted of 1 546 children and parents from 4 kindergartens. Parents in the intervention group received combination of online and offline health education intervention measures for 2 months, while parents in the control group received no intervention measures. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the effect of parents′ perception of their children′s weight in intervention group and control group. 【Results】 After controlling for imbalanced variables such as parents′ education level, total monthly family income, and parents′ perception of their children′s weight, there was a statistically significant difference in the improvement of parents′ perception of their children′s weight status between two groups after intervention(OR=2.175, 95%CI: 1.536 - 3.080, P<0.05). After intervention, the improvement of parents′ perception of boys′ weight status in intervention group was better than that in control group(OR=2.985, 95%CI: 1.878 - 4.745, P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the degree of improvement in perceived weight status among girls′ parents after intervention(P>0.05). Regardless of whether the child′s weight status was normal or not, parents in the intervention group showed better improvement in their perception of their children′s weight status than the control group(OR=1.558, 6.111, 95%CI:1.025 - 2.368, 2.811 - 13.287, P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Health education measures can improve the perception bias of parents towards their preschool children′s weight, and the intervention effect varies among children of different genders and weight states.
