ABSTRACT
To develop the environment scale of unintentional injury in the home for children aged 0-6 years living in urban area of China, and test its validity and reliability. The content of the environment scale was established through the literature review, expert consultation and pilot study. A total of 1 104 children aged 0-6 years in urban area of Changsha were enrolled in this study by using a multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method. The questionnaire was used to collect the basic information of children, the incidence of unintentional injury and the status of home environment. The reliability of the scale was tested by using Cronbach's α coefficient and split-half reliability coefficient. The content validity and construct validity were tested by using Pearson correlation analysis and factor analysis. All children were divided into two groups according to the incidence of unintentional injury in the home and the discrimination validity of the scale was tested by using -test. The scale had 54 items in 6 dimensions. The number of eligible questionnaires was 1 074, including 554 (51.6%) from boys and 519 (48.3%) from children under 3 years old. The incidence rate of unintentional injury and in-home injury was 18.34% (197 children) and 10.71% (115 children). The internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's α) coefficient for the scale was 0.87 and the split-efficacy reliability coefficient was 0.82, both meeting the standard of reliability above 0.70. The Pearson correlation coefficient between each dimension and the whole scale ranged from 0.53 to 0.84 (all values <0.001). The common factor cumulative variance contribution rate of the scale was 58.34%. There were 54 items with factor loadings greater than 0.30. The root mean square error of approximation, comparative fit index and goodness-of-fit index were 0.07, 0.61 and 0.71, respectively. The score of scale in children with injury was significantly higher than that in children without injury (0.022). The validity and reliability of the environment scale for unintentional injury in the home for children aged 0-6 years old in the urban area of China are good.
ABSTRACT
Acute gout subsides spontaneously within a certain period of time after onset, a process known as spontaneous remission of gouty inflammation. Its pathophysiological mechanism is related to the dynamic interaction of various components in the immune system, i. e. through the phagocytosis of autoimmune cells, the negative regulation of inflammatory mediators such as NLRP3 inflammasome, 1L-1R and Toll-like receptors, the recruitment of neutrophil extracellular traps at the site of crystal deposition and the formation of local chronic granuloma, to alleviate the necrotizing inflammation mediated by monosodium urate crystals. This review summarizes the molecular mechanism of spontaneous remission of gouty inflammation.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the treatment methods of chronic prolonged mandibular dislocation.@*Methods@#Surgical reduction was performed in a case of temporomandibular joint dislocation over 6 months after manual reduction failure. The flap was removed under general anesthesia, and the bone of the condyle were removed. The articular disc was aligned and incision was sutured, and the procedure was combined with intermaxillary fixation for a correct occlusion and traction. After the operation, the surgical efficacy was observed, and the related literature was reviewed. @*Results@#The patient recovered well after the operation; the mouth opening was 3 cm, and the occlusion was normal. No recurrence was observed after 10 months of follow-up. The literature shows that surgery is a common treatment for temporomandibular joint dislocation after the failure of manual reduction, and postoperative patient education can reduce recurrence and complications. @*Conclusion @#Surgery combined with intermaxillary traction can effectively treat chronic prolonged mandibular dislocation.
