RESUMO
In the studies of modem epidemiology,exposure in a short term cannot fully elaborate the mechanism of the development of diseases or health-related events.Thus,lights have been shed on to life course epidemiology,which studies the exposures in early life time and their effects related to the development of chronic diseases.When exploring the mechanism leading from one exposure to an outcome and its effects through other factors,due to the existence of time-variant effects,conventional statistic methods could not meet the needs of etiological analysis in life course epidemiology.This paper summarizes the dynamic path analysis model,including the model structure and significance,and its application in life course epidemiology.Meanwhile,the procedure of data processing and etiology analyzing were introduced.In conclusion,dynamic path analysis is a useful tool which can be used to better elucidate the mechanisms that underlie the etiology of chronic diseases.

RESUMO
Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is of great significance to the setting of daily energy requirements and the scientific diet guidance for the population. There are 3 kinds of measurement methods for BMR, including the direct calorimetry, the indirect calorimetry, and the equation estimation. The direct calorimetry method is difficult to implement and is only used in some special populations. The indirect calorimetry and the equation estimation are two methods that are currently used commonly. The indirect calorimetry is highly accurate and suitable for individual for basal metabolic measurement or datum collection via equation estimation. The equation estimation is simple and convenient, which is suitable for large samples.

Objective To investigate the status of parenting stress in the primary care-givers of children diagnosed with autistic disorder and sum up the nursing strategies. Methods Seventy-eight primary care-givers of children diagnosed with autistic disorder were interviewed using the parenting stress index-short form (PSI-SF). Results The mean score of parenting stress was 104.08 ± 18.32, which was at a high level. The 3 subscales score from high to low:parenting anxiety(36.22 ± 8.46);disabled children (35.64 ± 6.41);parent-child interation disorder(32.01 ± 7.15). Conclusion Medical staff should pay more attertion to these care-givers in order to enhance their ability to cope with various problems in the parenting process and hence reduce the level of parenting pressure.
