ABSTRACT
To investigate the efficacy and safety of modified endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy (ERAT) in children with acute uncomplicated appendicitis complicated with intussusception. Data of 6 patients with acute uncomplicated appendicitis complicated with intussusception who received modified ERAT were collected from October 2018 to February 2020 in Pediatrics Department of Tangdu Hospital. The reduction rate of intussusception, the success rate of ERAT appendiceal intubation and endoscopic treatment, the remission time of clinical symptoms, the time of white blood cells return to normal, the length of hospital stay, complications and recurrence were summarized. All the 6 patients were confirmed to be acute uncomplicated appendicitis combined with ileocecal intussusceptions under colonoscopy. Endoscopic intussusception reduction and ERAT were performed successfully. The mean time of disappearance of abdominal tenderness was 1.3 days after the therapy, and the time of white blood cells return to normal was 1 day after surgery. The endoscopic treatment were all successful and the length of hospital stay was 3-6 days. No complications or recurrence of intussusception and appendicitis occurred during the follow-up period of 6-12 months. Modified ERAT can effectively, safely and minimally invitingly treat acute uncomplicated appendicitis with intussusception in children on the basis of definite diagnosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the utilization of reproductive health services and relating factors among internal migrant population in Beijing, Shanghai and Chongqing. Methods: A multi-stage cluster sampling method was adopted in this cross-sectional study, conducted in Beijing, Shanghai and Chongqing from August 2014 to August 2015. Standard methods on statistics and nonlinear canonical correlation were applied. Results: Out of the 6 545 internal migrant persons, 41.76% ever used the reproductive health services in the past year. Results from the nonlinear canonical correlation analysis revealed that the utilization of reproductive health services was correlated with the demographic features (=0.28, P<0.000 1) and characteristics of the population mobility (=0.21, P<0.000 1), respectively. For the above said demographic features, canonical variable L(1) which represented the demographic features was mainly determined by area, occupation and education attainment. Canonical variable M(1) that reflected the utilization of reproductive health services, was mainly determined by factors as free contraceptives, education on contraception/reproductive health, and pregnancy diagnosis/antenatal care. As for the characteristics of the population mobility, canonical variable U(1), which represented population mobility characteristics, was mainly determined by factors as purpose of migration, current pattern of residence and the length of annual stay in the area. Again, the canonical variable V(1), reflecting the use of reproductive health services was mainly determined by factors as free contraceptives, check-up on reproductive tract infection, education on contraception/reproductive health, and pregnancy diagnosis/antenatal care. Conclusions: The utilization of reproductive health services was low among the internal migrant population under study. Responsible departments for health and family planning in those cities should make internal migrants attach importance to reproductive health.

ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the sexuality situation and the influencing factors of 1 732 cases of migrants in Chongqing , and provide the scientific basis for improving the sexual health of migrants and the service level of the relevant departments .Meth‐ods The multi stage random cluster sampling method was used to select the subjects .A total of 1 732 married and unmarried mi‐grants who had sexuality were included into the structured questionnaire survey .The SAS9 .3 software was use to statistical analy‐sis .The χ2 test and Ordinal regression analysis and Logistic regression analysis were use to univariate and multivariate analysis .Re‐sults The communication frequency of sexuality of male migrants was higher than the females ,OR=1 .53(95% CI:1 .24-1 .89);young people had the high communication frequency of sexuality ;the frequency of low education groups lower than higher .The fre‐quency of subjects worked in Hong Kong ,Taiwan ,overseas‐funded enterprises are higher than other workplace .The sexual life fre‐quency of male migrants is higher than the female ,OR=1 .84(95% CI:1 .40-2 .42);the sexual life frequency of low age group was higher than high age group ,the frequency of sexual life in factory workers was lower than the Hong Kong ,Taiwan ,overseas‐funded enterprises workers .Compared with the subjects who communicate the sexuality issues often ,the frequency of sexual depression and suppression was higher in the migrants who communicate general and rarely ,the OR was 2 .75 (95% CI:1 .71 -4 .41) and 2 .60 (95% CI:1 .45-4 .66) .Conclusion Male ,younger ,highly educated migrants have a high sexual issues communication frequency . The age and the workplace was the most important factor of the frequency of sexual life .Ease the work pressure and increase the communication of sexual issues will help to relax the sexual depression and depression .
ABSTRACT
To determine the association of high birth weight [HBW] with the risk of obesity in childhood and adolescence. We also aimed to explore the interactions of HBW with physical activity and dietary habits. In a birth cohort born in 1993, 1994, and 1995 in Wuxi, China, subjects with a birth weight [BW] of >/= 4000 g were selected as the exposed group. For each exposed subject, one non-exposed subject with a BW of 2500-3999 g, matched by year of birth, gender, and type of institute at birth was chosen. Two follow-ups were performed from October 2005 to February 2007 and July 2010 to December 2011. A total of 1108 exposed and 1128 non-exposed subjects were included. Overweight/obesity rates were significantly higher in the exposed group [16.2% in childhood and 14.2% in adolescence] than those in the non-exposed group [12.1% in childhood and 8.2% in adolescence]. There was no significant interaction between BW and the growth period [F=2.10, p=0.147]. The relative excess risk due to interaction [RERI] of HBW with physical activity was -0.20 [95% CI=-2.85-2.45], and the RERI of HBW with dietary habits was 1.19 [95% CI=0.14-2.23]. Infants with HBW are at increased risk of childhood and adolescent overweight/obesity, and this relationship is not influenced by the growth period. There is an additive interaction between HBW and dietary habits

The aim of the study was to explore the mechanisms underlying the association of birth weight with later body mass index [BMI] from the biochemical markers related to metabolism and the Apa I polymorphism in IGF-II gene. A total of 300 children were selected randomly from the Macrosomia Birth Cohort in Wuxi, China. The height and weight were measured and blood samples were collected. Plasma concentrations of 8 biochemical markers were detected. Apa I polymorphism was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymer-phism [PCR-RFLP]. Biochemical markers were detected for 296 subjects and 271 subjects were genotyped for the Apa I polymorphism. No association was found between birth weight and 8 biochemical markers. In boys, the BMIs of AA, AG and GG genotypes were 16.10 +/- 2.24 kg/m[2], 17.40 +/- 3.20 kg/m[2], 17.65 +/- 2.66 kg/m[2]. And there was statistical difference among the three genotypes. But in girls, there was no statistical difference. The birth weights of AA, AG and GG genotypes were 3751.13 +/- 492.43 g, 3734.00 +/- 456.88 g, 3782.00 +/- 461.78 g. And there was no statistical difference among the three genotypes. Biochemical markers are not associated with birth weight. Apa I polymorphism may be related to childhood BMI, but it may be not associated with birth weight. Therefore, biochemical markers and Apa I polymorphism might not play a role in the association of birth weight and BMI

ABSTRACT
Objective To comparisom five methods of detection of eosinophil cells,in order to analyze the precision of the five methods.Methods The eosinophil cells of 100 patients were tested by using microscope、BC T5difft and flow cytometry are(0.249 ±0.112) × 109/L,(0.253 ±0.105) × 109/L,(0.252 ±0.103) × 109/L,(0.256 ±0.104) × 109/L and(0.259 ±0.101) × 109/L.There are no statistical differences(F = 1.225,P＞0.10)among the five methods.Conclusion The results of the five methods are all accurate;the automatic analyzer method and the flow cytometry method are simple and repeatable,but the equipment and reagents are more expensive;the microscope direct counting method is more complicated and less repeatable.
