Abstract:
The prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors at early lifecycle stages is higher than ever before, early identification and stratified intervention are critical to slowing down disease progression and reducing cardiovascular disease risk burden in adulthood. The implementation of stratified interventions to address the co prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors can reduce health expenditure and increase social capital. Guided by the policies and characteristics inherent to the growth and development of Chinese children, and nurtured and inspired by prestigious child cohorts around the world, we aim to carry out a precisely measured child cohort study that uses rigorous indicators to assess child health. We wish to produce detailed evidence that can identify cardiometabolic risk factors during childhood, so as to develop early warning and informed stratified intervention strategies, which can thereby reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease in China from childhood to adulthood and improve quality of life.

Abstract:
The health of children and adolescents is not only related to the growth and wellbeing of individuals, but also to the construction and development of countries. This study reviewed policies that were issued by the central government since the founding of New China which focused on the prevention and treatment of common diseases among school-age children and adolescents. The results revealed that, since the founding of New China, policies for the prevention and control of common diseases among school-age children and adolescents increased in number, and they began to focus on specific rather than general health problems. A gradual emphasis was placed on the specific implementation of prevention and control measures, rather than on guiding principles. Increasingly more attention has been paid to the prevention and treatment of common diseases among school-age children and adolescents.

Abstract:
  Objective  To explore sex differences between weight and systolic blood pressure (SBP) changes among school-age children and adolescents in Beijing, and to provide a basis for priority intervention to control the rapid growth of body weight and blood pressure.  Methods  Anthropometric measurement data of 70 288 children and adolescents from primary and high schools in Shunyi District were collected from 2009 to 2018, and a longitudinal dataset with complete data related to weight and BP after individual data linkage was compiled. The age-specific weight and SBP growth rates were calculated, and a linear mixed-effects model was used to identify sex differences in chronological growth rates.  Results  Weight and SBP increased with age in both boys and girls, and the mean weight and SBP were higher in boys than in girls across all age groups. The result of the linear mixed-effects model indicated apparent sex differences in weight and SBP growth rates, with an age and sex interaction term(β=-0.35, -0.40, P < 0.01). The age at peak weight velocity (PWA) was 12 years old and the age at peak SBP velocity was 13 years old in boys, which occurred one and three years later than for girls, respectively. In addition, the peak weight and SBP velocity were higher in boys than in girls. The curves of the SBP growth rate adjusted for the PWA, showed that the peak SBP velocity occurred two years before PWA and the second peak SBP velocity occurred at the PWA, which indicated "double peaks" in both boys and girls. The SBP growth rate was always higher in boys than in girls, and the rates declined after PWA.  Conclusion  Sex differences in weight and SBP growth rates were persistent and obvious in school-age children and adolescents in Beijing and the change in SBP was highly time synchronized with the increase in weight.

Abstract(438) HTML (250) PDF(44)
Abstract:
  Objective  To explore differences in the detection rate of elevated blood pressure (BP) in children aged 6-8 years old, and to verify the apparent existence of white-coat hypertension (BP) in children.  Methods  Based on census data(PROC), and three subsequent BP readings were taken during follow-ups which were carried out from October 2018 to June 2019. A total of 1 785 children were included in the present study. Using updating blood pressure reference for Chinese children aged 3-17 years, compared the BP detection rate at baseline, at the first follow-up, and the average value of the last two BP readings. Fluctuations in the detection rate of elevated BP in children at different time-points were analyzed.  Results  The detection rates of the three elevated BP measurements of 6-8-year-old children were 57.65%, 25.88% and 15.46%, respectively, and the detection rate was higher among boys than girls. The detection rate of baseline BP was higher than that of the first follow-up BP measurements and the average of the last two BP measurements(P < 0.01). Given the agreement in the diagnosis of high SBP, high DBP, high BP at baseline, and the average of the last two follow-up BP measurements, elevated BP at baseline was the lowest among the three groups and SBP was higher than DBP.  Conclusion  Blood Pressure fluctuations might be caused by transient tension that was experienced during the baseline BP measurement and during the first of the three follow-ups. Therefore, the average value of last two BP measurements may better reflect the real BP level in children.

Abstract:
  Objective  To examine the association between the visceral adiposity index (VAI) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in the pediatric population in order to improve risk stratification and prevention systems for chronic liver disease.  Methods  A total of 510 overweight/obese children aged 6-8 years old were enrolled from the child cohort which was designed to study puberty, obesity, and cardiovascular risk (PROC), and complete data from liver ultrasounds and the VAI were obtained. Used Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, Chi-square tests, and Logistic regression analyses to explore the association between the VAI and NAFLD.  Results  The detection rates of NAFLD for boys and girls were 25.9% and 11.1%, respectively. VAI for normal group and the NAFLD group were 0.43(0.31, 0.61) and 0.61(0.44, 0.87) in boys, and 0.74(0.56, 1.07) and 1.08(0.67, 1.51) in girls, respectively. Spearman's correlation coefficient analysis showed that triglycerides(TG), VAI, and the third quintile VAI group were positively correlated with NAFLD in both boys and girls(r=0.19, 0.26, 0.29;0.16, 0.16, 1.18, P < 0.05), and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) was negatively correlated with NAFLD in boys (r=-0.21, P < 0.05). With advancing tertiles of VAI, the increasing trend in the NAFLD detection rate was statistically significant in boys and girls(Chi-square for trend were 21.77, 7.66, P < 0.01). The results of univariate and multivariable Logistic regression showed that, by taking the first tertile of VAI as a reference, the risk of NAFLD among boys was higher in the second tertile (cOR=2.59, 95%CI=1.15-5.86; aOR=2.33, 95%CI=1.01-5.36) and in the third tertile(cOR=5.73, 95%CI=2.62-12.53; aOR=4.87, 95%CI=2.15-11.03), where as the risk among girls was higher in the third tertile(cOR=4.43, 95%CI=1.40-14.00).  Conclusion  VAI is positively correlated with pediatric NAFLD. Higher tertiles of VAI were associated with an increased risk of NAFLD in overweight and obese children, which indicates that VAI can be used as an early predictor of NAFLD.

Abstract:
  Objective  To explore the association between mothers' reactions to adolescents' exposure to intimate shots and pornography use of junior high school students, and to provide references for family communications on sexual topics in similar scenarios.  Methods  A total of 1 760 students from grade 6 to 8 in three junior high schools in a certain district of Shanghai were selected by cluster sampling. Self-filled questionnaires on tablets were used to collect data.  Results  The proportion of junior high school students who watched pornography was 26.36%(464), and that of boys (29.83%, 270/905) was higher than of girls (22.69%, 194/855). Most junior high school students believed that mothers' reactions to adolescents' exposure to intimate shots would be "taking the opportunity to educate teenagers not to do this" (30.54%) or "avoiding adolescents watching intimate shots" (42.24%). The results of multivariable analysis showed that comparing with junior high school students who believed that mothers would "watch together without making any comments ", students who believed that mothers would "take the opportunity to educate teenagers not to do this"(OR=0.43, 95%CI=0.29-0.64) and "avoid adolescents watching intimate shots"(OR=0.56, 95%CI=0.39-0.80) were at lower risk of viewing pornography (P < 0.01).  Conclusion  There is a significant correlation between junior high school students' pornography use and mothers' possible reactions to adolescents' exposure to intimate shots. Family sex education and parental monitoring should be emphasized, and parents' awareness of communicating sexual issues with adolescents should be strengthened.

Abstract:
  Objective  To understand the current situation of tobacco use in primary and secondary school staff members in Beijing in 2019, and its association with adolescent tobacco use and exposure, in order to promote the construction of smoke-free schools.  Methods  During April to June in 2019, PPS sampling was used to select primary schools, secondary schools and vocational high school. Each selected school randomly investigates 20 faculty members, totalling 2 737. The monitoring contents mainly include the current tobacco use, knowledge and attitude towards health risk of smoking among the school staff.  Results  The faculty did not receive the training of adolescent tobacco control (OR=0.20, 95%CI=0.14-0.28) were only 20% likely to teach tobacco hazard knowledge compared to the trained staff, and refusal to use tobacco control instruction manual (OR=0.21, 95%CI=0.14-0.32) was negatively associated with teaching tobacco control with students. Staff members having given lectures on tobacco refusal were more inclined to uphold "any people can't smoke anywhere on campus "(98.53%), and the interpretation of the rules tends to be more clear. Staff who has been employed for 20-30 years (OR=3.35, 95%CI=2.22-5.05) were the most probably to preach tobacco control among students(P < 0.05).  Conclusion  Staff caring about health and participate actively in health training were more willing to spread health knowledge. More attention should be paid to the cultivation of health literacy of school staff, and proactively guide faculty unwilling to instruct students in health hazard of smoking to gradually realize the importance of adolescent tobacco control.

Abstract:
  Objective  To explore the characteristics and relationship between physical activity and self-efficacy of college students during the COVID-19 epidemic, so as to provide evidence for the orderly development of physical education and curriculum reform of college students after their return to school.  Methods  A total of 6 227 college students were collected from 8 districts of China by using convenient sampling method and snowball sampling method, and the physical activity and self-efficacy of all participants were assessed used by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-S) and the General Self-Efficacy Scale(GSES).  Results  In the terms of general self-efficacy, the score of male students was significantly higher than that of female students, the score of freshman was significantly higher than that of other grades(t/F=7.32, 5.56, P < 0.01). In terms of physical activity, the middle and high level physical activity of girls was significantly higher than that of boys, but the proportion of boys meeting the recommended amount was higher(P < 0.01). Low level physical activity was the highest in junior college students(31.75%), medium level physical activity was the highest in freshmen (46.75%) and sophomore student (48.13%), and high level physical activity was the highest senior college students (30.40%). The moderate level of physical activity was the highest in all BMI groups, while the lean group had the lowest level of low level physical activity (15.70%) and the highest level of high level physical activity(37.31%), and the lowest proportion meeting the recommended amount(P < 0.05). Self-efficacy had a positive predictive effect on physical activity(OR=1.04, 95%CI=1.03-1.05).  Conclusion  During the COVID-19 epidemic, there are significant differences in general self-efficacy and physical activity among college students by gender, grade and BMI. The general self-efficacy has a positive impact on physical activity, suggesting that college physical education should pay attention to students' self-efficacy, while considering individual and group differences, and promote physical activity level through self-efficacy improvement.

Abstract:
  Objective  To explore the association of the frequency of domestic violence witness in childhood with the quality of life (QOL) of college students, and to provide a reference for improving the quality of life of students who domestic violence witness in childhood.  Methods  In October 2018, a total of 4 034 college students from four universities in Hefei, Anhui Province, were selected to participate in this study. The Conflict Tactics Scales Short Form (CTS2SF) and the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Brief (WHOQOL-BREF) were used to assess the effect of witnessing domestic violence in childhood on the QOL of college students. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the relationship between the different frequencies of witnessing domestic violence in childhood and the QOL of college students.  Results  The mean scores of the subjective assessment of QOL, health subjective assessment, physiology, psychology, social relationships, and environment were (14.06±3.25) (13.42±3.47) (12.61±2.02) (14.09±2.62) (13.72±2.71) (13.77±2.46), respectively. The multiple linear regression model showed that, witnessing domestic violence in childhood was negatively correlated with the QOL of college students (P < 0.01). Although occasional expose to severe family violence in childhood was not associated with the health subjective assessment and the environmental dimensions, the different frequencies of witnessing domestic violence in childhood were negatively correlated with the QOL of college students (P < 0.05).  Conclusion  Frequency of domestic violence witness in childhood is associated with the mean scores of the QOL of college students. It is necessary to explore effective prevention and intervention programs for exposure to domestic violence in childhood.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the smartphone addiction among college students during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and its association with daily behaviors and mental health, and to provide reference for heath education and psychological counseling for college students.  Methods  An observational study using online quyestionnaire was conducted among 10 357 college students of two provincial medical schools in Guangdong and Shanxi Province from February 24th to March 4th in 2020. Participants were investigated on demographic information, smartphone addiction, daily routine, physical activity, weight status, anxiety, and other health information. Logistic regression with inverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW) based on propensity score was used to analyze the association between smartphone addiction with daily behavior and mental health.  Results  The prevalence of smartphone addiction was 59.42%. The prevalence of phone addiction was higher in postgraduates, senior undergraduates, students with non-medical major, students living in GuangDong and those without regular exercise habit before vacation(χ2=47.91, 17.78, 42.75, 138.58, P < 0.05). With IPTW, there were significant associations between smartphone addiction and late bedtimes (OR=1.82, 95%CI=1.66-1.98) and wake-up times (OR=1.55, 95%CI=1.44-1.68), more sedentary behaviors (OR=1.21, 95%CI=1.12-1.31), less moderate to vigorous physical activity (OR=1.33, 95%CI=1.22-1.44), anxiety (OR=2.98, 95%CI=2.52-3.40), weight gain(OR=1.27, 95%CI=1.17-1.37) and other detrimental daily behavior and feelings.  Conclusion  High prevalence of smartphone addiction has been observed during the COVID-19 pandemic, with impaired daily behavior and mental health.

Abstract:
  Objective  To evaluate the association of short-term fine particulate matters (PM2.5) exposure and blood pressure in children and adolescents.  Methods  A total of 144 813 junior and senior middle school students who participated in the physical examination in the 2017-2018 academic year in a northern city of China, with complete record of demographic characteristics, blood pressure and no history of heart and other important organ diseases were selected as the study subjects. Data on PM2.5 and other pollutants and meteorological data were obtained from the nearest air quality and meteorological monitoring stations of each schools. A generalized linear mixed effect model was used to analyze the association between short-term exposure of PM2.5 and blood pressure.  Results  The 6-day average concentration of PM2.5 (lag05) increased by 10 μg/m3 was associated with an increase of 0.177(95%CI=0.148-0.207)mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) in systolic blood pressure and 4.4%(OR=1.044, 95%CI=1.030-1.058) increase of the prevalence of high systolic blood pressure. And it was also associated with -0.021(95%CI=-0.040--0.002)mm Hg decrease in diastolic blood pressure, but had no significant correlation with the prevalence of high diastolic blood pressure. In general, a 10 μg/m3 increase of PM2.5 was associated with 3.3% increase in the prevalence of high blood pressure (OR=1.03, 95%CI=1.02-1.05), and difference of boys and girls were found in different lagged days (P < 0.05).  Conclusion  Short-term exposure of PM2.5 is associated with increased systolic blood pressure and prevalence of high blood pressure among children and adolescents. Attention should be paid to the prevention of short-term exposure of PM2.5 to protect the health of children and adolescents.

Abstract:
  Objective  To provide a basis for college students' mental health education and guidance, the impact of psychological aggression and corporal punishment college students experienced before the age of 10 on anxiety and health risk behaviors was explored.  Methods  In April and May 2019, the convenience sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey among all the freshman and sophomore students of some majors in two universities in Harbin, including a total of 2 150 students. The contents of the questionnaire included general information survey, Parent-Child Conflict Tactics Scale (CTSPC), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Adolescent Health related Risky Behavior Inventory (AHRBI).  Results  The percentage of college students who suffered psychological aggression and corporal punishment before the age of 10 was 80.05% and 58.37%. The detection rate of corporal punishment in boys and non-only child was significantly higher than that in girls and only child (P < 0.05). The students who experienced psychological aggression and corporal punishment before the age of 10 had higher detection rates of anxiety state and six subscales of health risk behaviors than those who didn't experienced those (P < 0.05). The Logistic regression analysis showed that, psychological aggression, place of residence, corporal punishment, and only child were positively associated with college students' anxiety state (OR=1.85, 1.53, 1.49, 1.34). The Logistic regression analysis showed that, psychological aggression, place of residence were positively associated with college students' health-compromising behaviors (OR=1.60, 1.26). Psychological aggression, gender factors, corporal punishment, and only child all influenced college students' aggression and violence behavior (OR=1.75, 1.66, 1.63, 1.28). Corporal punishment influenced college students' suicide and self-injury behavior (OR=3.44). Gender factors and corporal punishment all influenced college students' smoking and drinking behavior (OR=2.67, 2.25).Corporal punishment and psychological aggression were positively associated with college students' rule breaking behavior (OR=1.88, 1.55). Corporal punishment, gender factors, and family income all influenced college students' unprotected sexual behavior (OR=4.51, 1.91, 0.62).  Conclusion  Parental psychological aggression and corporal punishment college students experienced during childhood have a negative impact on their anxiety and health risk behaviors.

Abstract:
  Objective  To explore the relationship between dietary patterns and central precocious puberty in children, and to provide a scientific basis for dietary prevention of precocious puberty.  Methods  A case-control study was conducted, among 35 newly diagnosed central precocious puberty girls from May to December 2019 as the case group, and 70 healthy girls with normal development as the control group. Physical development examination, parent questionnaire survey and child interview were carried out. Dietary information was assessed using a simplified food frequency questionnaire(FFQ). Principal component analysis was used to identify children's dietary patterns, and multiple Logistic regression was used to assess the association between dietary patterns and precocious puberty.  Results  Three different dietary patterns have been established, namely "snack and processed food type", "animal protein type" and "nutritional tonic type" dietary patterns, respectively. After adjusting for covariates such as age and BMI, Logistic regression analysis showed that the "snack and processed food type" dietary pattern was positively correlated with precocious puberty(OR=10.81, 95%CI=2.59-45.15, P < 0.01). There was a negative correlation between "animal protein type" and precocious puberty(OR=0.24, 95%CI=0.06-0.91, P=0.04), while the association between "nutritive tonic" and precocious puberty was not statistically significant(OR=0.28, 95%CI=0.07-1.05, P=0.06).  Conclusion  Children's dietary patterns were related to precocious puberty." Snack and processed food "dietary pattern with a high intake of fried foods, puffed foods, foods containing preservatives or pigments, western fast foods, chocolate and products, was closely related to central precocious puberty.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the relationship between body fat percentage (BF%) and high blood pressure among adolescents in Shanghai, and to provide basis for early prevention and intervention of cardcovascular diseases.  Methods  By using stratified cluster sampling method, a total of 5 148 adolescent students in 16 schools from 16 districts of Shanghai were selected. Questionnaire survey and physical examination were performed. The bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) was used to measure body fat percentage. National Blood Pressure Reference for Chinese Han Children was used to define high blood pressure. And T test, chi-square test and Logistici regression were used to assess the relation between BF% with high blood pressure.  Results  The prevalence of high blood pressure in 5 148 junior middle school students in Shanghai was 10.98%, with girls (13.13%) higher than boys (8.99%)(χ2=22.48, P < 0.01). The average total body fat percentage of male students was (20.90±10.73)%, which decreased with age (linear trend variance is 10.04, P < 0.01). The average total body fat percentage of girls was (25.14±8.03)%, which increased with age (linear trend variance is 69.23, P < 0.01). After adjusted for age, diet, exercise and other influencing factors, the prevalence of hypertension showed an increasing trend with the increase of body fat percentage for both boys and girls. The risk of high blood pressure in boys with BF%≥P90 was 12.43 times higher than that in boys with BF% < P25(95%CI=6.98-22.14), while the risk of high blood pressure in girls with BF% ≥P90 was 6.12 times higher than that in girls with BF% < P25(95%CI=3.89-9.63).  Conclusion  There was a positive correlation between body fat percentage and high blood pressure in adolescents. The prevalence of high blood pressure increased with the increase of body fat percentage, which was more obvious in boys.

Abstract:
  Objective  To explore the characteristics of pain sensitivity of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and to provide reference for clinical comprehensive intervention of ASD.  Methods  A case-control study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of pain sensitivity in 142 ASD children and 142 normal children using the items related to pain sensitivity in the Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC). In addition, two recognized ASD model mice (BTBR mice and model mice induced by VPA) were selected as experimental group. The thermal pain threshold and mechanical pain threshold of BTBR mice were measured by electroshock seizure threshold and Von Frey filament test, and the differences of pain characteristics between BTBR mice and control mice were compared, the thermal pain threshold of model mice induced by VPA (VPA rats) was measured by electroshock seizure threshold, and the differences between BTBR mice and control mice (Con) were compared.  Results  There was significant difference in pain sensitivity between ASD group and control group (χ2=0.81, P < 0.05), and the sensitivity of ASD children to pain was significantly lower than that of normal control children. The pain sensitivity of BTBR mice and C57BL/6 mice on the 42 nd day after birth was measured. The T-test analysis showed that the time taken for BTBR and C57BL/6 mice to retract their feet on the 42 nd day after birth (3.62±0.38, 3.02±0.33)s (t=3.28, P < 0.01), and the mechanical pain threshold (9.75±3.58, 0.55±0.93)s (t=7.44, P < 0.01). The detection of thermal stinging pain in VPA rats and con rats on the 9 th, 11 th, 13 th and 15 th day after birth was detected. The results of t test were as follows: P9(11.34±1.38, 9.81±1.64)g, P11(11.37±1.98, 9.36±1.11)g, P13(11.53±1.38, 9.51±1.01)g and P15(12.05±2.91, 8.74±1.60)g (t=-2.79, -2.25, 3.95, 3.95, P < 0.05).  Conclusion  Compared with normal control children, ASD children show insensitivity to pain which is further supported by two types of animal models for ASD.

Abstract:
  Objective  To understand the current situation and associated factors of unintentional injury among preschool children in Shunyi District, and to provide reference for the development of unintentional injury intervention measures.  Methods  Three kindergartens in Shunyi district were selected through stratified cluster sampling method, and all the parents were surveyed online by self-designed questionnaire.  Results  The proportion of low, medium and high risk assessment of unintentional injury in preschool children were 59.5%, 37.5% and 3.0%, respectively. Risk of unintentional injury increased significantly with age and grade(χ2=12.35, 12.70, P < 0.05). The risk of unintentional injury in inter-generational care (3.7%) was higher than that in parental care(2.4%). The higher the education level of the primary caretaker and family income, the higher level of unintentional injury risk(χ2=11.23, 14.10, P < 0.05).There were significant differences in the risk for burning, poisoning, other accidental injury, prevention of accidental injury and total score of unintentional injury among children of different ages and classes(F=8.26, 5.61, 4.95, 6.15, 7.86;9.88, 8.39, 4.25, 6.27, 7.55, P < 0.05). There was statistical significance in burning risk between boys and girls(t=-4.27, P < 0.05). There was statistical significance in unintentional injury prevention between children of different residence(t=9.11, P < 0.05). There were significant differences in behavior supervision among risk among children of different ages and grades(P < 0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that education level of primary caregivers (college: B=-2.66, 95%CI=-4.69-0.63; bachelor degree or higher: B=-3.80, 95%CI=-5.90-1.70), annual family income (B=-2.82, 95%CI=-4.80-0.84) were associated with unintentional injury risk of preschool children(P < 0.05).  Conclusion  Health education of unintentional injury prevention among preschool children should focus on the primary caretaker with low education and low family income, which is crucial for prevention of children's injury.

Total strong positive number was 184 and the strong positive rate was 2.37%. The number of tuberculosis patients was 17. Positive rate of the students from grade one to grade four was 13.88%, 8.57%, 10.59%, 10.29%, respectively. The difference was statistically significant(χ2=46.30, P < 0.01). The positive rates of male and female in the past two years were 13.24%(500/3 777) and 10.42%(416/3 994), respectively (χ2=17.84, P < 0.01), and there was no significant difference in the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis among TST positive patients (χ2=0.29, P=0.59). The positive and strong positive rates of 2 IU dose and 5 IU dose were 7.57%, 15.04%, respectively, the difference in dosage forms were statistically significant (χ2=114.41, P < 0.01). The tuberculosis case detection rate (CDR) of moderate & above positive subjects of 2 IU and 5 IU dose was 6.92% and 2.07%, respectively, the difference was statistically significant(χ2=6.60, P=0.02).  Conclusion  More positive tuberculosis cases (including moderate & strong positive) can be detected by using 5 IU dose, though it is may not have advantage over discovering tuberculosis patients comparing to 2 IU dose. However, it is more critical to minimize the following cases and control the outbreak in university.

Abstract:
  Objective  This epidemiology survey is intended to assess the periodontal health conditions of 12-to 15-year-old adolescents and the associated factors in Shenzhen.  Methods  The study utilized a multistage stratified cluster method and recruited 5 509 middle school students aged 12 to 15. Gingival bleeding and calculus were conducted and a self-reported questionnaire was administered. Additional periodontal pocket depth and attachment loss examination were performed in the 15-year-age group. Periodontal conditions and the associated factors were analyzed by t-test, Chi-square method and Logistic regression.  Results  The prevalence of gingival bleeding and calculus among adolescents was 43.95% and 44.25%, and the prevalence of periodontal pockets ≤3 mm was 0.57%. No periodontal pockets ≥6 mm or attachment loss ≥4 mm were detected. Gender, family income and frequency of teeth brushing were significantly associated with calculus detection (P < 0.05). The use of fluoride had an significant effect on gingival bleeding detection and calculus detection (χ2=9.70, 6.16, P < 0.05).  Conclusion  The periodontal health condition among 12-15 years old adolescents in Shenzhen is generally better than the national level. Adolescents living in high-economic districts and females had better periodontal health condition. The government can promote health education in schools and popularize the use of fluoride to improve the periodontal health condition among adolescents.

Abstract:
  Objective  To understand the sanitary condition of rural school toilets in Laibin City, and to provide scientific basis for the government and education departments to improve the sanitary condition of rural school toilets and to rebuild and build new harmless sanitary toilets.  Methods  The sanitary condition of toilets and feces treatment of the rural areas of 6 counties of Laibin City were thoroughly investigated through file review, on-site inspection and interviews,  Results  There were 36 schools without toilets, all of which were primary schools. Those schools distributed in Jinxiu County (31), accounting for 35.63% in its primary schools(31/87). Among the 651 schools with toilets, there were 1 559 sanitary toilets and 90 unsanitary toilets (all distributed in primary schools). and the percentage of unsanitary toilets in primary schools was that Jinxiu County 44.64% and Heshan City 31.25%. The proportion of sanitary toilets in teaching buildings, offices or dormitory buildings in primary schools, middle schools and nine-year schools was 77.36%, 94.20% and 30.95%, respectively. Hierarchical analysis found that outdoor toilets accounted for the largest proportion of middle schools in Xiangzhou County (72.46%), followed by nine-year schools in Xingbin District (71.79%). Among sanitary toilets, the proportion of harmless sanitary toilets was 95.51%, which was 100% in middle schools and nine-year schools, and 94.30% in primary schools. Four of the six counties (cities and districts) accounted for 100%, and the proportion of primary schools of Xingbin District was lowest, which accounted for 89.79%.  Conclusion  At present, the sanitary condition of toilets in rural schools in Laibin City has been obviously improved, but there are still many schools lack of toilets or sanitary toilets, in some counties (cities, districts), especially in primary schools. Quality of toilet management should be improved while strengthening the construction of harmless sanitary toilets in schools.

Abstract:
MiRNAs are a type of single-stranded, endogenous, non-coding small RNAs, which can regulate the post-transcriptional expression of genes and a variety of biological functions. Puberty development involves a complex regulatory network, among which the the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonad axis may play the key role. Studies have found that there was a relationship between the miRNAs and puberty development. The absence and abnormal expression of miRNAs can affect the initiation of puberty. But the mechanism is not clear. It may be related to the secretion of GnRH in the hypothalamus. This article mainly introduced several miRNAs which were currently closely related to the initiation of puberty, and reviewed their role and possible mechanisms in the initiation of puberty.

Abstract:
Antisocial behavior among adolescents caused a severe burden on individuals, families and society, which has aroused a global concern. At present, the association of child abuse and monoamine oxidase A gene with antisocial behavior has been confirmed in most studies. However, there was a controversy about the interaction of child abuse and monoamine oxidase A gene on antisocial behavior. This study aimed to review latest findings and mechanisms of the interaction of child abuse and monoamine oxidase A gene on antisocial behavior among adolescents. The result showed that the child abuse interacted with monoamine oxidase A gene in antisocial behavior by influencing the specific neural circuits in the brain and changing the function of mood regulation, etc. Additionally, this study analyzed potential reasons for the inconsistency of current study findings, and identified the directions for future research. Moreover, this review was to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of adolescent antisocial behavior.

Abstract:
Campus exclusion behavior attracts much attention in the filed of school-based social exclusion research field. It threatens the normal relationship and belonging acquisition of primary and secondary school students, resulting in frustration of students' needs and negative emotions and behaviors, inability to handle classmates and social relationships well, and hindering mental health development of. Evolution believes that behaviors have a certain adaptive value. From the perspective of evolutionary psychology, a preliminary interpretation of the influencing factors of exclusion in terms of language, needs and motivations, and social status has been made. Resource acquisition, hunting-gathering hypothesis, homosexual competition, etc. Provides a certain evolutionary basis. Therefore, in the intervention and prevention of rejection behaviors, creating a campus atmosphere that accepts diversity has a positive effect on the guidance of all students, and strengthening emotional and cognitive interventions also alleviates the adverse effects of rejection behaviors.
