Objective@#The study aimed to explore sex differences in the growth and physical development of Beijing school-aged children and adolescents.@*Methods@#Data obtained from regular health examinations of 94 122 school-aged children and adolescents aged 6-18 years old were collected from primary and high schools in Shunyi District from 2009 to 2018, and a longitudinal dataset was compiled with complete anthropometric parameters including height, weight, and BMI levels after linkage of individuallevel information. The age-specific growth rate was calculated and a linear mixed-effects model was used to identify sex differences according to chronological or relative age to peak height velocity (PHA).@*Results@#Height, weight, and BMI levels increased with age in both boys and girls. Girls were taller than boys in the 10-11 year-old age group, catch-up growth in height was observed in boys at age 12, whose height surpassed that of girls thereafter. Boys had a higher weight and BMI than girls in all age groups (P<0.01). Sex differences were found in the growth rates of height, weight, and BMI levels(t=-67.56,-47.46,3.22,P<0.01), which was demonstrated by the interaction effect of sex and age in the linear mixed-effects model. The PHA in boys was 12 years old, which was two years later than the PHA in girls. Boys reached peak weight velocity at 12 years old, lagging one year behind girls who reached their peak at 11 years old. The curves of the BMI growth rate with age showed double peaks in boys and the first peak appeared at 10 years, which was one year earlier than girls. The change in weight was highly synchronized in time with the increase in height, after adjusting for the growth rate of weight by PHA. Weight velocity increased with age before the onset of puberty until PHA, and then it declined; boys presented with obvious fat accumulation before the onset of puberty.@*Conclusion@#Sex differences in the growth and physical development of school-aged children and adolescents were persistent and apparent, and the change in weight was highly synchronized in time with the increase in height.

Objective@#To explore the prospective effect of dietary intake of total fat and fatty acids on menarcheal timing among girls,and to provide a theoretical basis for preventing the early puberty development of Chinese children.@*Methods@#Using the data from 1997-2015 China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS), 1 240 girls aged 6-13 with menarche information, baseline dietary survey data and at least one follow up assessment were selected. Cox regression analysis was performed to examine the prospective effect of dietary intake of total fat and fatty acids before menarche on age at menarche.@*Results@#The mean baseline age of the participants was (8.3±1.8). After adjustment for year of birth, residence, household income, dietary energy intake and body mass index Z score at baseline, girls in the highest quartile of intake of total fat and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) had a 30% and 34% higher probability of experiencing menarche at an earlier age than those in the lowest quartile [ HR(HR 95%CI )=1.30 (1.01~1.68),1.34(1.05~1.70)]. After adjusting for the confounders, there were no correlations between the intake of saturated fatty acid (SFA) and monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) and the onset of menarche [ HR(HR 95%CI )=1.24(0.98~1.58),1.25(0.97~ 1.62 )]( P >0.05).@*Conclusion@#Higher dietary intake of total fat and PUFA before menarche may lead to earlier age at menarche and no correlation between intake of SFA and MUFA before menarche with age at menarche is found among Chinese girls.

Objective To investigate the association between MPO gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) loci (rs2333227,-643G/A) and clinical characteristics in Kawasaki disease (KD) in Han population in central China. Methods A case-control study was performed. Two hundred and thirty-seven children with KD and 249 normal children were recruited. The polymorphism distribution of SNP was detected using PCR-RFLP. The clinical data of children with KD were collected. Results The frequency of SNP loci (rs2333227) genotypes (GG, GA, AA) was signiifcantly different between children with KD and normal children (P=0.039), the allele frequency was also signiifcantly different between two groups (P=0.012), and the G allele was the risk factor. Compared with other genotypes, KD children with GG genotype had higher frequency in hand-foot edema (P=0.029). The SNP polymorphism was also associated with peritoneal effusion (P=0.028), however this SNP polymorphism was not associated with conjunctival hyperemia, oral mucosa lesions, and coronary artery lesion (P>0.05), also was not associated to imaging characteristics of hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, and lobular pneumonia (P>0.05). Conclusion The SNP loci (rs2333227) in MPO gene was associated with KD susceptibility, the G allele was a risk factor, and the SNP polymorphisms is associated with some clinical characteristic.

A hospitalização traz transtornos que, na infância, tornam-se mais evidentes nas manifestações de insatisfação momentânea ou prejuízos, podendo permanecer mesmo após a alta hospitalar. Na Pediatria as crianças são submetidas a procedimentos dolorosos, além de depararem com situações variadas como a presença constante de pessoas estranhas ao seu convívio habitual, como profissionais de saúde de diversas áreas, outros pacientes internados e seus acompanhantes. Nesse cenário, a aplicação da ludoterapia no meio hospitalar transforma-se em um método benéfico no processo de adaptação da criança. Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa, descritiva, que buscou analisar o uso do brincar na assistência à criança hospitalizada na perspectiva dos pais. O estudo foi realizado na Pediatria de um Hospital Municipal de Belo Horizonte-MG. Foram entrevistados 13 pais por meio de roteiro semiestruturado e realizada a análise de conteúdo, segundo Bardin, para interpretação dos dados. Os achados evidenciaram que o brincar é instrumento de grande valor para minimizar o estresse da internação e contribuir para melhor adaptação da criança ao ambiente hospitalar. Ademais, o mesmo traz benefícios referentes à promoção do bem-estar, diversão, redução da dor e socialização durante a hospitalização. Concluiu-se, dessa maneira, que a utilização do brincar pode ser muito benéfica na rotina da Pediatria, favorecendo um cuidado mais humanizado e integral, além da possibilidade de diminuir os prejuízos no desenvolvimento da criança, causados pela experiência da hospitalização.

Résumé
Se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal para evaluar la prevalencia de maloclusiones en niños y adolescentes de 2 a 18 años de edad de caseríos y comunidades nativas de la selva de Ucayali, Perú. Se evaluó la presencia de maloclusiones usando la clasificación de Angle así como alteraciones ortodónticas. Se incluyeron 201 sujetos, 106 (52,7 por ciento) fueron mujeres, la mayoría (54,7 por ciento) tuvieron entre 6 y 12 años. Se encontró una prevalencia de maloclusiones del 85,6 por ciento; la más prevalente según la clasificación de Angle fue la clase I (59,6 por ciento). Se evidenciaron alteraciones ortodónticas en el 67,2 por ciento de casos. Las alteraciones ortodónticas encontradas más frecuentes fueron apiñamiento dentario (28,4 por ciento), mordida cruzada anterior (17,4 por ciento), sobresalte exagerado (8,5 por ciento), sobremordida exagerada (5,0 por ciento) y mordida abierta anterior (5,0 por ciento). Se evidencia una alta prevalencia de maloclusiones y alteraciones ortodónticas en las comunidades nativas evaluadas, por lo que es necesario implementar programas preventivos para mejorar la salud bucal de estas poblaciones marginadas.
We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study to assess the prevalence of malocclusions in children and adolescents aged 2 to 18 years of villages and native communities of the Ucayali jungle of Peru. We assessed the presence of malocclusions using Angles classification and orthodontic changes. We evaluated 201 individuals, 106 (52.7 percent) were women, most of them (54.7 percent) had between 6 and 12 years. The prevalence of malocclusions was 85.6 percent, the most prevalent according to Angles classification was class I (59.6 percent). Orthodontic alterations were present in 67.2 percent of cases. The most frequent were dental crowding (28.4 percent), anterior crossbite (17.4 percent), exaggerated overjet (8.5 percent), excessive overbite (5.0 percent) and anterior open bite (5.0 percent).

OBJETIVO: Averiguar a associação entre a suspeita inicial de deficiência auditiva e a ausência de comunicação verbal em crianças com diagnóstico de transtornos do espectro autístico. MÉTODOS: Por meio de estudo retrospectivo, analisamos 54 anamneses de indivíduos com diagnóstico de transtornos do espectro autístico. Inicialmente, obtivemos o registro da suspeita inicial de perda auditiva, mencionada pela família. O grau de associação entre a presença de suspeita inicial de perda auditiva e o tipo de desempenho comunicativo (não verbal e verbal) foi verificado. Posteriormente, as avaliações audiológicas foram rastreadas para confirmarmos a pertinência da queixa auditiva mencionada. Para tratamento estatístico dos resultados utilizamos os Testes Qui-quadrado e Exato de Fisher. Estabeleceu-se nível de significância de 0,05. RESULTADOS: Verificamos que 62,96 por cento dos pais de crianças autistas (verbais ou não) apresentaram a suspeita inicial de perda auditiva como primeira etiologia. A avaliação audiológica mostrou que somente 11,11 por cento dos indivíduos com comunicação não verbal e nenhum com comunicação verbal apresentaram algum tipo de deficiência auditiva. CONCLUSÕES: O número de crianças com suspeita inicial de perda auditiva mostrou-se significativo, independente destas serem verbais ou não. Na análise da associação entre desempenho comunicativo e suspeita de prejuízos na audição, os resultados foram estatisticamente significante maiores em crianças não verbais. Esses dados nos fazem refletir sobre a importância da sensibilização dos profissionais que atuam em clínica infantil quanto à busca pelo diagnóstico diferencial entre a deficiência auditiva e os transtornos do espectro autístico.
PURPOSE: To determine the association between the initial suspicion of hearing loss and the absence of verbal communication in children with diagnosis of autistic spectrum disorders. METHODS: A retrospective study was carried out analyzing 54 anamneses of individuals with diagnosis of autistic spectrum disorders. From each case history, it was obtained the records of the initial suspicion of hearing loss, mentioned by family members. The degree of association between the initial suspicion of hearing loss and the type of communicative performance (verbal and non-verbal) was verified. After that, hearing assessments were tracked down to confirm the pertinence of the hearing complaint mentioned. The data were statistically analysed using Chi-Square Test and Fisher's Exact Test. A significance level of 0.05 was adopted. RESULTS: It was verified that 62.96 percent of the parents of children with autism (both verbal and non-verbal) exhibited an initial suspicion of hearing loss as the first etiology. The hearing assessment demonstrated that only 11.11 percent of the individuals with non-verbal communication and none of those with verbal communication actually had some type of hearing impairment. CONCLUSIONS: The number of children with initial suspicion of hearing loss was significant, regardless whether these individuals had verbal or non-verbal communication. However, in the association analysis between communicative performance and suspicion of hearing impairments, the results were significantly greater for non-verbal children. This fact leads to a reflection on the importance of sensitization of the professionals who act in childcare clinic regarding the search for a differential diagnosis between hearing impairment and autistic spectrum disorders.
