Chinese Journal of Child Health Care 2024;32(1):79-83
【Objective】 To analyze the measurement of body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage in girls aged 6 to 8 years, in order to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity. 【Methods】 The medical examination data of 968 girls with bone age of 6 - 8 years who underwent obesity screening in General Hospital of Northern Quarter Command from January 2022 to July 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. BMI, body fat percentage, nutritional indicators, and obesity rate of girls with bone age of 6 - 8 years were analyzed.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for obesity in girls with bone age of 6 - 8 years old. 【Results】 BMI, body fat percentage and visceral fat grade of girls aged 6 - 8 years followed an increasing trend with age: 6 years old < 7 years old < 8 years old (F=10.196, 68.327, 66.584, P<0.001). The average BMI of girls aged 6 - 8 years and the average body fat percentage of girls aged 7 - 8 years old were higher than the normal range. Additionally, the average value of 25-hydroxy vitamin D[25-(OH)D] in girls aged 6 - 8 years was lower than the normal range. The overweight rates of girls aged 6,7 and 8 years were 19.50%, 18.21%, and 15.95%, respectively, and the obesity rates were 9.75%, 12.35%, and 15.95%, respectively. Furthermore, the Logistic multivariate regression analysis revealed that birth weight ≥ 4.0kg (OR=1.962,95%CI: 1.292 - 2.979), eating frequency of high-fat and high-calorie > 3times/week (OR=1.432, 95%CI: 1.172 - 1.749),frequency of sweet food >3times/week (OR=2.670, 95%CI:1.170 - 6.093), eating speed < 15min/meal (OR=1.366, 95%CI:1.108 - 1.685), outdoor activity frequency <30min/day (OR=2.083, 95%CI:1.162 - 3.736), and parents lack of knowledge or with limited understanding of nutrition (OR=1.721, 95%CI:1.129 - 2.623) were independent risk factors for obesity in girls aged 6 - 8 years old (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The obesity rate of girls with bone age of 6 - 8 years old is high and should be addressed through a scientific diet, reasonable exercise, and educating parents to improve their knowledge of nutrition.

Objective:To compare the safety and efficacy of two-person and three-person operation of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) after Roux-en-Y anastomosis.Methods:A total of 31 cases of bile duct stones where endoscopic access was successful and papilla was detected after Roux-en-Y anastomosis in Hangzhou First People's Hospital from January 2021 to September 2022 were recruited. Based on the retrospective study, 17 patients with the two-person operation (an operator and an assistant completed selective intubation) were included in group A from January to December 2021, and 14 patients with the three-person operation (an operator and two assistants completed the selective intubation) from January to September 2022 were included in group B. The success rate, the time of intubation, and complication incidence of the two groups were compared.Results:The intubation success rate of all enrolled patients was 90.32% (28/31). There was no significant difference in the intubation success rate between group A and group B [82.35% (14/17) VS 100.00% (14/14), P=0.232]. The intubation time in group B was significantly less than that of group A (42.89±6.57 min VS 61.02±9.23 min) with significant difference ( t=5.77, P<0.001). The incidence of postoperative complication of ERCP in all enrolled patients was 16.13% (5/31). There was no significant difference in the postoperative complication incidence between group A and group B [17.65% (3/17) VS 14.29% (2/14), P=1.000]. Conclusion:For patients undergoing ERCP after Roux-en-Y anastomosis, the two methods were not statistically different in terms of the intubation success rate and the incidence of procedure-related complications. But three-person operation shows clear advantage in terms of operation time.

Objective:To understand the epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors of elderly unintentional fall-related injuries (EUFI) in Jiangsu from 2006 to 2021 and provide a scientific basis for the prevention of falls in the elderly and the formulation of related policies.Methods:Data on EUFI was collected from the first diagnosed cases in the injury surveillance hospitals in Jiangsu from 2006 to 2021, and epidemiological characteristics of injuries were analyzed. logistic regression was performed to identify the risk factors for EUFI.Results:The number of EUFI increased from 2006 to 2021, ranked as the first cause of elderly unintentional injuries during these years. The proportion of EUFI among elderly unintentional injuries increased in the same period. The male-to-female ratio is 1∶1.4. Falls mainly occurred during 8:00-10:00 am (32.7%). The most common place where falls occurred was at home (63.6%). From 2006 to 2014, leisure activities (62.1%), housework/study (23.1%), and work (5.2%) were the top three activities when injuries occurred. During 2015-2021, leisure activities (41.7%), housework/study (22.6%) and walking (20.5%) were the top three activities when injuries occurred. The major fall-related injuries were fractures (39.9%), with the injured parts at low limbs (32.5%), of which most were mild injuries (60.3%), and the primary outcome was hospitalization after treatment (74.1%). logistic regression showed that the risk factors of EUFI were female, old age, immigrants, winter, public residence, housework/study, and leisure activities. Higher education, occupation of household and production and transportation equipment operators were protective factors (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Fall is the leading cause of unintentional injuries in the elderly in Jiangsu, especially the elderly female population. Corresponding measures should be taken to prevent and intervene in falls in the elderly in the community according to the distribution characteristics.

Objective:To explore the value of congenital muscular torticollis severity classification scores (CMT-SCSTs) in the diagnosis and prognosis of infants′ congenital muscular torticollis (CMT).Methods:A total of 89 CMT children were examined using ultrasound to determine the size of the affected side and the contralateral sternocleidomastoid mass or the abnormal area of the muscle fringe echo from the head and neck. They were also rated using CMT-SCST scoring. They were then given 15 minutes of massage once a day and 5 minutes postural correction twice a day for 3 to 6 months. They were reviewed using ultrasound and the CMT-SCST 3 and 6 months later.Results:The number of treatments was negatively correlated with the initial CMT-SCST score. For those with a baseline CMT-SCST score ≥7 it was effective after 3 and 6 months. Those with a baseline CMT-SCST score ≥9 were almost cured after 3 and 6 months. Gender, age, signs of hip dysplasia, and comorbid global developmental delay (GDD) were not consistently related to the severity and the outcome of CMT. The CMT-SCST was more sensitive in prognosis than the CMT-SCS published in 2013.Conclusions:CMT-SCST scoring provides a theoretical foundation for the diagnosis and treatment and evaluation of infants with CMT. It deserves wider popularity and application in clinical practice.

Methods Data of 20170 patients, who underwent ERCP in the First People' s Hospital of Hangzhou from May 2004 to February 2018, were enrolled in the retrospective analysis. According to the year of diagnosis and treatment,patients were divided into 2004-2008, 2009-2013, and 2014-2018 group; according to the postoperative diagnosis of ERCP, they were divided into biliary tract diseases ( including calculus, benign stenosis, malignant stenosis, and other causes ) and pancreatic diseases ( including acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic malignant tumor, and other causes ) group; and according to the age, they were divided into the younger age (0-18 years old), young and middle age (19-65 years old), old age (66-85 years old), and advanced age (>85 years old) group. Statistical analysis was performed in the different groups. Results Among the 20170 patients, there were 10260 males and 9910 females, with age of 62. 65± 17. 11 years. The proportion of the younger age group and the advanced age group was 1. 04%( 24/2308 ) , 1. 69% ( 127/7520 ) , 2. 39% ( 247/10342 ) , and 2. 95% ( 68/2308 ) , 4. 19%( 315/7520 ) , 6. 15% ( 636/10342 ) , respectively, in the 2004-2008, 2009-2013 and 2014-2018 subgroups, with a rising trend (P<0. 017). A total 20032 patients had a clear postoperative diagnosis, including 15618 ( 77. 97%) of biliary diseases and 4414 ( 22. 03%) of pancreatic diseases. Biliary stones accounted for the majority of biliary diseases (63. 2%, 9863/15618), and its proportion increased from 59. 9% ( 1191/1987 ) in 2004-2008 to 64. 5% ( 5118/7939 ) in 2014-2018 ( P= 0. 000 ) . Acute pancreatitis accounted for the majority of pancreatic diseases (67. 4%, 1973/4414), and its proportion increased from 52. 4% ( 162/309) in 2004-2008 to 69. 9% ( 1636/2340) in 2014-2018 ( P=0. 000) . The top 3 diseases in the younger group and the advanced age group were acute pancreatitis ( 32. 58%, 129/396) , biliary stones ( 25. 25%, 100/396 ) , chronic pancreatitis ( 22. 22%, 88/396 ) , and biliary stones (56. 46%, 568/1006), malignant biliary stenosis (12. 52%, 126/1006), benign biliary stricture ( 10. 34%, 104/1006) , respectively. Conclusion The main disease of patients receiving ERCP is biliary stone, and the proportion of acute pancreatitis is increased. The overall age of the patients is old, and the proportion of the elderly and underaged patients is gradually increasing. Biliary diseases and pancreatic diseases are the main diseases in elderly patients and younger patients, respectively.

Objective To investigate the roles of a epoprostenol(PGI2) analog (Iloprost) in regulating the differentiation of CD4+ T cells to Treg cells and the possible mechanism.Methods Naǐve CD4+ T cells were isolated from human peripheral blood samples by using the magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) and then cultured under Treg-polarizing condition.The percentages of Treg cells and the expression of Foxp3 at mRNA level were respectively measured by using flow cytometry and RT-PCR for evaluation the effects of Iloprost on the differentiation of CD4+ T cells to Treg cells.The cAMP accumulation assay was used to detect the level of intracellular cAMP.Flow cytometry analysis was performed to detect the phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5).Results lloprost decreased the percentage of Treg cells and inhibited the expression of Foxp3 at mRNA level in a dose dependent manner (P<0.05).However,the inhibitory effects of Iloprost were weakened when IP receptors were blocked by IP antagonist (CAY10449).A six-fold increase in the levels of intracellular cAMP in Treg cells was induced by Iloprost (P<0.05) and a similar effect could be achieved by using a cAMP agonist,db-cAMP (P>0.05).H-89,a protein kinase A inhibitor,inhibited the Iloprost-induced expression of cAMP in Treg cells.Moreover,Iloprost inhibited the IL-2 mediated phosphorylation of STAT5 (P<0.05) and a similar effect could be achieved by using db-cAMP (P>0.05).The Iloprost-mediated down-regulation of pSTAT5 was blocked by using H-89.Conclusion PGI2 could activate the cAMP-PKA signaling pathway by binding to the IP receptor,resulting in inhibited phosphorylation of STAT5 and suppressed differentiation of naǐve CD4+ T cells to Treg cells.
