RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the current situation of developmental coordination disorder in preschool children in Taiyuan, providing evidence for developing health strategies for preschool children in this city.Methods:We selected 11 126 preschool children aged 3-5 years from 24 kindergartens in Taiyuan using the cluster random sampling method during November-December 2018. Each preschool child was tested with the developmental coordination disorder questionnaire for young children.Results:The incidence of developmental coordination disorder was 3.4%, and the incidence of suspected developmental coordination disorder was 5.4%, and the incidences of which were higher in boys than in girls ( χ2 = 9.46, P < 0.01). The incidence of developmental coordination disorder decreased with aging ( r = -0.06, P < 0.01). The incidence of developmental coordination disorder was negatively correlated with parents' education level and maternal passive smoking during pregnancy ( r = -0.11, P < 0.01; r = -0.12, P < 0.01; r = -0.03, P < 0.01). Lower parents' education level and maternal passive smoking during pregnancy led to a higher incidence of developmental coordination disorder in children. Conclusion:Preschool children from Taiyuan had a lower incidence of developmental coordination disorder than those from economically developed south areas. The higher the gross domestic product in the areas where the kindergartens locate, the lower the incidence of developmental coordination disorder ( r = 0.03, P < 0.01). Environmental factors have a certain impact on developmental coordination disorders in preschool children. Parents, kindergarten teachers, and child health workers should take active intervention measures against the adverse factors in the early development environment of children.
RESUMEN
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the changes in lung injury and oxidative stress of sprague-Dawleyy (SD) rats at different times after single intratracheal instillation of potassium dichromate.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 50 healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into control group and potassium dichromate group. The potassium dichromate group and the control group received 3 ml/kg intratracheal instillation of K2Cr2O7 (1.5 mg/kg) and normal saline, respectively. Rats in these two groups were sacrificed in batches at 1, 3, 7, 14, and 28 days after exposure. The changes in the following indices were observed and analyzed: body weight, lung coefficient, alkaline phosphatase (AKP) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in lung homogenate, and reduced glutathione (GSH) in serum.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The rats in the potassium dichromate group had significantly decreased body weight on day 1 and day 3 after exposure than the control group (P<0.05). Lung coefficient increased significantly on day 7 (P<0.05) and kept increasing until the end of the experiment. The potassium dichromate group had a significantly higher activity of AKP than the control group on day 1 and day 7 after exposure (P<0.05). However, the potassium dichromate group had a significantly lower activity of GSH-Px than the control group on day 1 and day 3 after exposure (P<0.05). And the potassium dichromate group had a lower activity of reduced GSH than the control group on day 3 and day 7 after exposure.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Single intratracheal instillation of 1.5 mg/kg potassium dichromate could result in lung inflammatory injury. of SD rats, and the injury is more severe on day 7 after exposure. Body injury is related to antioxidant activity, and the antioxidant.activity cannot recover completely on day 28 after exposure.</p>
