Objective To assess the association between early adiposity rebound (AR) and indices of obesity and metabolic risk in 5-year-old children. Methods Based on Ma’anshan Birth Cohort Study (MABC), single live births born in Ma'anshan of Anhui province from October 2013 to April 2015 were followed for up to 5 years consecutively. As of August 2019, 720 children with continuous measurements (≥8 times) and metabolic indicators were obtained. Physical examination and laboratory tests were used to obtain information on the birth status, length/height, weight, waist circumference, body composition and metabolic indicators of children. The 2 test, F test, t-test, non-parametric test, general linear model and logistic regression model were used for statistical analysis. Results 43.5% of the children had AR≤4 years. After controlling for gender, it was found that earlier AR was associated with overweight/obesity (OR=2.71, 95%CI: 1.81~4.05), larger waist circumference (OR=1.88, 95%CI: 1.25~2.82), and body fat percentage ≥90th percentile (OR=2.09, 95%CI: 1.26~3.48). In the earlier AR group, the insulin resistance and metabolic score were higher, but the difference was not statistically significant. At 5 years of age, the prevalence of obesity and overweight was 6.0% and 12.8%, respectively. Children with overweight/obesity, larger waist circumference, higher waist-to-weight ratio and body fat percentage ≥ 90th percentile were associated with higher insulin resistance and metabolic score, and all the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.001). Conclusion Earlier AR increased the risk of overweight/obesity, larger waist circumference, and body fat percentage ≥90th percentile at age of 5 years. Each index of the commonly used measures of childhood obesity was closely related with insulin resistance and metabolic risk factors at 5 years old.

Objective:To investigate the effects of adherent-invasive Escherichia coli ( E. coli) LF82 on the structure and function of intestinal barrier in mice with ulcerative colitis (UC). Methods:Twenty-four specific pathogen free (SPF) C57BL/6 mice were divided into UC with E. coli LF82 group, UC group and healthy control group with eight mice in each group. The UC mice model was induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). One week before modeling, the mice of UC with E. coli LF82 group were intragastric administrated with 1×10 9 colony-forming unit (CFU) E. coli LF82 to colonize the bacteria strain. The effects of E. coli LF82 on colitis of mice with UC were evaluated by disease activity index (DAI), gross morphological injury score, colonic mucosal injury index (CMDI), myeoloperoxidase (MPO) activity and pathological features. The ultrastructure and the changes of cytoskeleton F-actin of mice colonic tissues were detected by transmission electron microscope (TEM) and direct immunofluorescence. The ability of colonic mucin production and degree of fibrosis were estimated by periodic acid Schiff reaction (PAS) stain and sirius red stain. T test, least significant difference, repeated measurement analysis of variance and one-way analysis of variance were used for statistical analysis. Results:On the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh day after the modeling, the DAI scores of UC with E. coli LF82 group were all higher than those of UC group ((2.53±0.38) points vs. (2.01±0.53) points, (3.02±0.62) points vs. (2.67±0.24) points, (3.13±0.61) points vs. (2.20±0.24) points, (3.27±0.28) points vs. (2.20±0.69) points, respectively), and the differences were statistically significant ( t=3.37, 2.25, 9.56 and 10.24, all P<0.05). The gross morphological injury score of mice colon of UC with E. coli LF82 group was higher than that of UC group ((6.17±1.94) points vs. (2.83±0.98) points), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-3.75, P<0.05). The CMDI and MPO activity of UC with E. coli LF82 group were both higher than those of UC group ((16.80±2.79) points vs. (11.80±3.11) points, (729.3±77.5) U/mg vs. (594.4±31.9) U/mg), and the differences were statistically significant ( t=-2.83; mean difference=134.82, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 72.12 to 197.51; both P<0.05). The results of TEM showed that the E. coli LF82 could invade the submucosa of colon and caused further injury of colonic tissues in mice. The distribution of cytoskeleton F-actin of mice colonic tissues changed. The results of PAS staining showed that the percentages of PAS positive cells of UC with E. coli LF82 group and UC group were both lower than that of healthy control group ((32.40±8.02)% and (41.90±8.99)% vs. (57.70±11.52)%), and the difference was statistically significant ( F=17.63, P<0.01). The percentage of PAS positive cells of UC with E. coli LF82 group was lower than that of UC group, and the difference was statistically significant (mean difference=-9.50, 95% CI -18.33 to -0.67, P<0.05). The results of sirius red staining showed that the villous epithelium of colon mucosa of UC with E. coli LF82 group was partially injured and collagen fibers hyperplasia was serious. The area ratios of collagen fiber of UC with E. coli LF82 group and UC group were both higher than that of healthy control group ((51.83±5.78)% and (37.11±5.59)% vs. (15.41±2.25) %), and the difference was statistically significant ( F=86.72, P<0.01). The area ratio of collagen fiber of UC with E. coli LF82 group was higher than that of UC group, the difference was statistically significant (mean difference=14.83, 95% CI 8.91 to 20.76, P<0.05). Conclusions:E. coli LF82 can aggravate DSS-induced colitis in UC mice, leading to changes in colon ultrastructure and cytoskeleton, it can also reduce the ability of mucus secretion of colon of mice and increase the degree of colonic tissues fibrosis.

Objective:To examine the relationship between pre-pregnancy BMI, gestational diabetes (GDM) and different indicators of childhood obesity at the age of 4.Methods:Based on Ma’anshan Birth Cohort Study, singleton children who were born in Ma’anshan of Anhui province from October 2013 to April 2015, were followed for 4 years, consecutively. During the first questionnaire survey, data including pre-pregnancy weight, height and socio-demography were collected. During 24-28 week of gestation, 75 g oral glucose tolerance test was conducted for them. Childhood height, weight, waist circumference and body composition were measured at the age of 4. Comparisons between groups were performed using chi-square test, analysis of variance or t-test. The relationship between pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity, GDM and childhood obesity-related characteristics were analyzed by logistic regression model and generalized linear model analysis. Results:The prevalence rates of overweight and obesity in children at the age of 4 were 13.08% and 6.03%, respectively. After adjustment for characteristics related to mothers and their children, significantly increased risk of obesity ( OR=3.27, 95% CI: 2.15-4.98), larger waist circumference ( OR=2.32, 95% CI: 1.72-3.14) and higher waist-to-weight ratio ( OR=2.29, 95% CI: 1.73-3.02) were seen in the offspring of women with pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity. Body composition (skeletal muscle, body fat, body fat percentage) of the offspring were strongly correlated with pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity of the mothers ( P<0.05). Maternal GDM was associated with higher risk of childhood obesity ( OR=1.78, 95% CI: 1.14-2.79), on mothers without GDM during pregnancy. However, neither larger waist circumference, or higher waist-to-weight ratio seemed to increase the risk. Moreover, maternal GDM was not associated with body composition measures (skeletal muscle, body fat, body fat percentage). Conclusion:Pre-pregnancy BMI and maternal GDM were independent risk factors for obesity in 4-year-old children, and pre-pregnancy BMI was correlated with various indicators of body composition in children.

Objective:To explore the effect of parental rearing patterns and their consistency on the emotional and behavioral problems of preschool children.Methods:From October to November 2017, 27 987 children aged 3 to 6 years old from 109 kindergartens in 11 cities of Hubei, Anhui and Jiangsu Provinces were selected by using the cluster sampling method. A total of 27 200 valid questionnaires which were completed by subjects' parents were collected. The emotional and behavioral problems of preschool children were collected by "strengths and difficulties questionnaire" and the parental rearing patterns were evaluated by the "Parental Behavior Scale". The differences in emotional and behavioral abnormality rates of preschool children with different characteristics were analyzed; with emotional and behavioral problems as dependent variables and parental support/participation and compulsion/hostility as independent variables, the multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the effect of parental rearing patterns and their consistency on the emotional and behavioral problems of preschool children.Results:The age of children was (4.35±0.96) years old, and 51.4% of children were 13 975 males. There were 24 634 (90.6%) urban children and 17 916 (65.9%) only children. Both parents with strong support/participation accounted for 14.9%, and those with poor support/participation accounted for 11.9%; both parents with strong compulsion/hostility accounted for 15.2%, and those with low compulsion/hostility accounted for 11.3%. The rates of emotional symptoms, conduct behavior, hyperactive behavior, peer interaction, total difficulty score, and abnormal prosocial behavior of preschool children were 9.5%, 9.5%, 18.2%, 24.5%, 11.2%, and 10.2%, respectively. The multivariate logistic regression model analysis showed that after adjusting for gender, only child, living area, family economic status, mother′s age and education level, father′s education level, and other factors, compared with fathers/mothers with strong support/participation and low compulsion/hostility and parents with strong support/participation and low compulsion/hostility, preschool children who had fathers/mothers with poor support/participation and strong compulsion/hostility or parents with poor support/participation and strong compulsion/hostility were more likely to have emotional symptoms, conduct behavior, hyperactive behavior, peer interaction, total difficulty score, and abnormal prosocial behavior ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Parental rearing patterns and their consistency are related to the emotional and behavioral problems of preschool children.

Objective: To analyze the detection rate of sleep problems such as sleep delay and deficiency in preschool children in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China,and to provide the reference for the standard of sleeping mode among preschool students. Methods: From October to November 2017, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 27 200 preschool children in 11 cities in Hubei, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China. Epidemiology of sleep delays, deficiencies and sleep patterns in preschool children was described. Results: The detection rate of sleep problems in preschool children in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River was 15.3%. Taking the length of sleep and bedtime as the main analysis points, it was found that the average sleeping time point of each age group was 21:31, and the detection rate of bedtime delay was 86.5%. The average length of sleep was (10.60±1.12) hours. The detection rate of sleep deprivation in preschool children was 15.7%. Sleep delay was positively correlated with girls, age increase and parents’ higher educational level (P<0.05), and negatively correlated with living in the city, non-only child and bedroom without TV (P<0.01) .The detection rate of sleep deprivation was positively correlated with children of high age group (4yearold group：OR=1.32，95%CI=1.19-1.46；5-year-old group：OR=2.10，95%CI=1.91-2.32；6-year-old group：OR=2.47，95%CI=2.20-2.77)(P<0.01), and negatively correlated with no TV in bedroom (OR=0.91，95%CI=0.84-0.98) and no light in sleep (OR=0.87，95%CI=0.78-0.97)(P<0.05). Conclusion Preschool children sleep delay and sleep deprivation and other sleep problems are more prominent, affected by family environment and other factors.

ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to analyze the etiology and status of bone age of children with short stat-ure.MethodsAnthropological and physical examination data were retrospectively collected and studied in 2132 children with short stature in the department of endocrinology between 2009 and 2014. Growth hormone (GH) levels were determined by ar-ginine-clonidine test. Bone age was determined by CHN scoring.ResultsAmong the 2132 patients, 1333 were males and 799 were females. Mean age is 9.03 ± 3.04 years old, mean bone age is 6.81 ± 3.05 years. Of them, 324 cases (15.2%) were diagnosed complete GH deifciency, 780 cases (36.59%) were partial GH deifciency, 27cases (1.27%) were multiple pituitary hormone de-ifciency, 13 cases (1.64%) were hypothyroidism, 893 cases (41.89%) were idiopathic short stature, 19 cases (0.89%) were small for gestational age (SGA), 40 cases (1.88%) were chromosomal disorders, etc. Signiifcant difference in age and bone age was found using t test (P<0.05). Signiifcant differences in Δage were found between etiological categories using ANOVA (P=0.000). Δage was signiifcantly and negatively associated with peak GH using Pearson's correlation.ConclusionsGH deifciency is the most common cause of short stature. Bone age of children with short stature is commonly delayed. Δage was signiifcantly and negatively associated with peak GH. Multiple pituitary hormone deifciency has a signiifcant effect on bone age. The etiology of patients with short stature cannot be determined just by bone age.

Objective To investigate the effect of robot-assisted walking therapy on gait of patients with incomplete spinal cord injury.Methods 10 patients with incomplete spinal cord injury accepted robot-assisted walking therapy with Lokomat for 12 weeks. The Lower Extremity Motor Scores (LEMS), step lenth (left and right), double support (left and right), single support (left and right), Symmetry Index (SI), overground gait speed, treadmill training speed, treadmill training distance and the amount of body-weight unload were recorded before,6 weeks and 12 weeks after training. Results All the patients finished the training. There was significant difference in all the indices among those were before, 6 weeks and 12 weeks after training (P<0.001). Conclusion Robot-assisted walking therapy with Lokomat facilitates to improve gait in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury.

Objective To track the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on neonatal rats with hypoxic-ischernic brain damage (HIBD).MethodsA total of 126 healthy,seven-day-old SD rats were used to model the HIBD and then randomly divided into seven groups of 18:a sham group,a hypoxic-ischemic (HI) group,a 6 h HBO group,a 24 h HBO group,a 48 h HBO group,a 72 h HBO group and a 1 week HBO group.One hour of HBO treatment at 2 atmospheres absolute pressure was administered once daily for a week to the rats in the latter 5groups,starting at 6,24,48,72 hours and 1 week post the HIBD modeling,while no HBO was administered to the sham and HI groups.The effects were assessed in terms of histological changes ( the neuron density and the percentage of neuron apoptosis in the CA1 region of the hippocampus) and nitric oxide (NO),malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxygen dismustase (SOD) concentrations after 15 days.ResultsIn the 6 h HBO,24 h HBO,48 h HBO and 72 h HBO groups,average neuron density in the CA1 region was significantly higher than in the HI group.But in the 1 week HBO group the average density was not significantly different than in the HI group.In the 6 h HBO,24 h HBO,48 h HBO and 72 h HBO groups the average percentage of neuron cell apoptosis in the CA1 area of the hippocampus was significantly lower than in the HI group,but the 1 week HBO group again showed no significant difference.There were significant differences in average NO,MDA or SOD levels among the 6 h HBO,24 h HBO,48 h HBO,72 h HBO and HI groups,but the 1 week HBO group showed no significantly higher average levels than the HI group.ConclusionsThe optimal therapeutic window for using HBO to protect against HIBD is within the first week.The best effect can be obtained in the first 6 hours,but after 1 week HBO no longer has a significant effect.The earlier the HBO is administered,the better the effect obtained.
