OBJECTIVEIn search of a simpler and safer technique for auricular reconstruction with good appearance.

METHODSMedpor implant was used as auricular framework, and covered by temporal fascia flap and skin graft.

RESULTSEar reconstruction was successfully achieved in 19 cases, the newly formed ears all had good appearance after edema disappeared 1 or 2 months postoperatively.

CONCLUSIONMedpor is a kind of good implant material because it is steady in nature, easy to be sculptured. Temporal fascia flap is rich in blood supply, tough and tensile in biomechanics. So the combination of Medpor implant framework with temporal fascia flap is preferable in auricular reconstruction.

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 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 develop a venipuncture indication system based on an ultra-miniature side-view optical coherence tomography (OCT) endoscopic probe. This system enables real-time scanning and imaging of the tissue around the tip of the intravenous needle, which is used to determine whether the intravenous needle has penetrated the blood vessel.Methods:An ultra-miniature side-view OCT needle probe was fabricated and placed into the stem of an elongated 30G hypodermic needle to make the OCT endoscopic probe. The endoscopic probe was inserted into the stem of an intravenous needle and the tip of the probe was allowed to probe out of the intravenous needle. This allows the OCT endoscopic probe to be driven by the rotating collar to scan and image the tissue around the tip of the intravenous needle. Imaging experiments were performed using mouse blood and non-blood tissues (skeletal muscle and liver) to verify system function.Results:Blood did not produce OCT signals at most locations except for a weak OCT signal at locations near the scanning window of the endoscope probe (i.e., the top of the image). The intensity of the OCT signal generated by it decayed rapidly with the increase in imaging depth. At a depth of 300-400 μm from the scanning window, the OCT signal has almost completely disappeared. Strong OCT signals appeared in the images of skeletal muscle. Its signal intensity decayed with the increase of imaging depth, but a more obvious OCT signal could be observed at a depth of more than 900 μm from the scanning window. The distribution of OCT signal intensity within skeletal muscle was very heterogeneous. The connective tissue embedded in the skeletal muscle showed stronger OCT signals than the surrounding skeletal muscle, while there was almost no OCT signal in the muscle at the spaces located between the muscle fiber bundles. A strong OCT signal was observed in the images of liver tissue. The attenuation of this signal with increasing imaging depth was more pronounced. At a distance of 600-700 μm from the scanning window, the OCT signal had almost completely disappeared. The intensity distribution of the OCT signal in the internal image of the liver tissue was relatively uniform.Conclusions:The proposed venipuncture indication system is able to image the tissue around the tip of the injection needle instantly, and provide a more reliable indication of whether the needle has penetrated the blood vessel during clinical venipuncture.

An increasing number of studies have shown that homocysteine is associated with intracerebral hemorrhage. This article reviews the correlation between homocysteine and the incidence risk, clinical characteristics, clinical outcomes of intracerebral hemorrhage, as well as the treatment methods for reducing homocysteine.

【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.
