ABSTRACT
Objective@#To analyze the effect of parental correlates on screen time among children and adolescents and to explore possible gender disparity,and to provide the reference for taking measures to control and prevent the phenomenon.@*Methods@#By stratified cluster sampling, 4 schools were selected from each of the urban middle school, urban primary school, rural middle school and rural primary school in Fangshan district, Beijing city. Students and parents in the selected school were recruited and investigated on general demographic characteristics and screen time. The effect of parental correlates on screen time and associated gender disparity were analyzed.@*Results@#The prevalence of high screen time among children and adolescents was 10.4%, with boys’(11.9%) higher than girls’(8.9%). Students whose father spent more than 180 min in moderate and vigorous physical activity weekly were at lower risk for high screen time(OR=0.64). Students whose father spent more than 120 min screen time during weekday or on average were at higher risk for high screen time(OR=1.88,1.91). Students whose mother spent more than 120 min screen during weekday, during weekend or on average were at higher risk for high screen time compared with control group(OR=1.87,1.52,1.76). Father’s screen time during weekday or on average showed impact on screen time of their daughters and sons. Mother’s screen time only showed impacts on their daughters.@*Conclusion@#A strong effect of parental daily screen time on children’s screen time has been observed. Parental practice and roles should be considered to tailor interventions for healthy screen time among children and adolescents.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To assess the effects of Socioeconomic status on the dietary quality of children and adolescents, and to provide the reference for improving primary students’ dietary quality.@*Methods@#A total of 2 496 students from 16 schools (4 urban primary schools, 4 rural primary schools, 4 urban middle schools, and 4 rural middle schools) in Fangshan District, Beijing, were included using a stratified cluster random sampling method. Information on 7-day intake of cereals, vegetables, fruits, meat and dairy was collected using questionnaires and dietary quality was graded according to the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2016).@*Results@#The dietary quality for urban children and adolescents was better than that for rural ones. Compared with rural children, their urban peers had higher scores for intake of vegetables, fruits, and dairy (all were P<0.01), but lower scores for intake of meat (P=0.01). For children with parental education level of senior high school, the dietary scores were higher in urban areas (P<0.05), whereas no urban-rural disparity was found for children with higher educated parents (junior college or above, P=0.17). In children with monthly household income less than 5 000 yuan, the urban dietary scores were higher than that of rural areas (P<0.01), whereas in the group above 5 000 yuan, the difference between urban and rural areas was no longer statistically significant(P>0.05). The multi-factor analysis showed that living in urban areas, being girls, being younger, with higher educated parents and with higher monthly household income were protective factors for dietary quality. However, the effect of household income on dietary quality differed between urban and rural areas (P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#In the process of dietary guidance and intervention, children with relatively low socio-economic level should be given a priority to provide appropriate nutrition education and welfare policies.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the expression of c-kit and Ki-67 in the basal cell adenoma(BCA)and adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of salivary gland. Methods The expression of c-kit and Ki-67 was determined by immunohistochemistry method in BCA and ACC of salivary gland. Results The positive immuostaining of c-kit in BCA and ACC were 72.2 ％(13/18) and 83.3 ％(35/42),respectively, There was no significant difference in the expression of c-kit between the two tissues (x2=0.11,P＞0.05).The expression of Ki-67 was significantly different between BCA[(3.72±1.41) ％]and ACC[(23.81±10.19)％](t=14.145,P＜0.01).Conclusion Detection of Ki-67 might be helpful to distinguish between BCA and ACC,but c-kit has no effect in differentiating BCA from ACC.
