RESUMO
Background: The Department of Health in South Africa has reported an alarming total of 90 037 teenage girls between the ages of 10 years and 19 years who gave birth from March 2021 to April 2022, across all provinces and districts. The rise in teenage pregnancy is of serious concern as adolescents girls are more likely to experience difficult pregnancies and deliveries which could lead to detrimental effects on their health. Objectives: The study aimed to explore and describe factors contributing to the increase in teenage pregnancy in the Sekhukhune district of Limpopo. Method: The study was conducted in the healthcare facilities of Sekhukhune area. A qualitative, exploratory design was followed. Participants were purposively selected, and data were gathered through face-to-face individual interviews. Data analysis employed Tesch's inductive, descriptive coding method. Results: Negligence, peer pressure, ambiguity, choice, lack of contraceptive use, and lack of family attachment were identified as exacerbating factors in the district's surge in teenage pregnancy. Conclusion: To reduce teen pregnancy, it is crucial to promote contraception, enhance cooperation between schools and the government, involve families in sexual and reproductive health discussions, prioritise a supportive home environment, advocate for child support grants, revitalise school health services, and empower teenagers to make informed choices and resist peer pressure. Contribution: The study will provide guidance to policy makers and other stakeholders in developing appropriate programmes to address the problem and improve the health and socioeconomic status of adolescents in rural areas. This will reduce healthcare costs associated with complications and premature birth. Keywords: factors; teenager; pregnancy; tee

Las recientes iniciativas nacionales y mundiales han llamado la atención sobre la importancia de la salud sexual para el bienestar de las personas. Estas iniciativas promueven la mejora de los esfuerzos para abordar este tema no representado en los planes de estudio de las profesiones de la salud. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo estudiar la conducta sexual y percepción del riesgo de ITS en estudiantes universitarios de la ESPOCH, considerando el enfoque de género. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, de corte transversal y con enfoque de género en 119 estudiantes universitarios. Primera experiencia sexual protegida, tenencia de varias parejas y necesidad de información sobre sexualidad fueron estadísticamente significativas en relación al género de los estudiantes encuestados (p <0,05). El control eficaz de las ITS requerirá respuestas de salud pública multimodales dedicadas que incluyan la promoción de la salud y la prevención. Los resultados de esta investigación pueden ser útiles para orientar el rediseño de los programas de salud sexual en los estudiantes universitarios(AU)
Recent national and global initiatives have drawn attention to the importance of sexual health for people's well-being. These initiatives promote the improvement of efforts to address this issue not represented in the curricula of the health professions. The present work aims to study sexual behavior and STIs risk perception in ESPOCH university students, considering the gender approach. A descriptive, cross-sectional study with a gender focus was carried out in 119 university students. First protected sexual experience, having several partners and the need for information on sexuality were statistically significant in relation to the gender of the students surveyed (p <0.05). Effective control of STIs will require dedicated multimodal public health responses that include health promotion and prevention. The results of this research may be useful to guide the redesign of sexual health programs in college students(AU)

It has been found by sorting out and analyzing ancient and modern doctors’ green tortoise exploring point acupuncture manipulation that ancient and modern doctors use Xu Feng's manipulation as the foundation and make some innovations on that b asis and according to their own clinical experiences. The clinical application range of different doctors’ green tortoise exploring point acupuncture manipulation is proposed by summarizing recent over 10 years’ clinical reports and the authors’ clinical practice. It is considered that the shortcomings of green tortoise exploring point acupuncture manipulation are lack of manipulation standardization and modern mechanism study and that manipulation standardization should be closely connected with clinical practice for further application and popularization.

RESUMO
Objective To study the effect of social isolation( SI) on the exploratory behavior and working memory in mice. Methods The Kunming mice of postnatal 21 days were divided into the control group,SI 2 weeks group,SI 2 weeks gregarious group,SI 4 weeks group and SI 8 weeks group,according to randomized design with ten animals each. All isolated mice were isolated for 2, 4 and 8 weeks respectively, the gregarious group were housed under normal grouped housing enviroment after isolation until adult, the mice with the relative same age were control groups. All animals were measured for exploratory behavior and working memory by performing open field and T?maze after the treatment. Results In the open field,compared to the relative control group,the central area of the total time in the SI 4 weeks group(0.07±0.04) was less than the control (0.10±0.04) obviously. The central area percentage of total time in SI 8 weeks group (0.64±0.12) were more than the control (0.43±0.08). In the T?maze,the alteration times in SI 2 weeks group (first day (5.92±0.79),second day (6.67±1.3),third day (7.42±1.08),fourth day (8.17±1.27)) were less than the control (first day (6.80±1.14); second day (7.60± 0.84);third day (8.30±0.95);forth day (9.20±1.32)). However,the alteration times of gregarious group showed no obvious change. Both the alteration times of SI 4 weeks (8.18±1.99) in the second day and that of SI 8 weeks (8.29±3.04) in the forth day were more than the control (6.60±2.11) and (7.80±2.53) respectively.Conclu?sions Working memory of SI 2 weeks rats decrease,which can be improved by the resocialization.SI 4 weeks and 8 weeks rats show the decreasing exploring ability and increasing anxiety and work memory.

RESUMO
Objective To estimate the ethology representation of the modified model of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion ( m-3VO) , created by occluding bolh common carotid in combination with one vertebral artey. Methods Rats were randomly put into m-3VO group,2VO group,and sham group ,and were subjected to the matching operation. Eight weeks after the operation, Morris water maze,open field test,and forced swimming lest were carried out. Results Compared with the sham group[ (18.46 ± 2. 63)s, (15. 9 ± 2. 16)s] .escape latencies of Morris water maze of m-3VO group [ ( 37. 69 ± 5. 11 ) s, ( 32. 55 ± 4. 28 ) s] and 2V0 group [ (42. 94 ± 3.05)s, (37.43 ± 4. 55)s] in the fourth and fifth days significantly increased (t = 3. 61 , P<0. 01 ; l = 3. 028, P<0.05 ; t = 4.72, P< 0. 001 ; t = 4. 153, P<0.001). The time of m-3VO group[ (7. 72 ± 1. 92) s] and 2VO group[ (7. 154 ± 2.66)s] spent in NE square was also longer than that of the sham group[(11. 19 ± 2. 137)s] (q = 2.98, P< 0.05; q = 3.81 , P< 0.01 ). And the crossing score of open field test of 2VO group(83. 25 ± 13. 53) was higher than that of the sham group (55. 6 ± 16. 8) ( q = 3. 27, P < 0. 01 ) , but immobility times, swimming times and climbing times of forced swimming test were not different between the three groups (P>0. 05). Conclusion The spatial learning ability of m-3V0 group rats are impaired 8 weeks after the operation, which is similar to that of 2VO group rats,and the m-3V0 operation have few effect on exploring ability and depression of rats.

RESUMO
Self-supporting,as a important dimensionality of self,is especially emphasized in Chinese traditional culture,but today it is only in the early exploring study stage.Since self,as a totally localized concept,has different meanings,structures,psychological functions and expressions in different cultures,so we can't employ the concepts,theories or tools existed in western courtry to study the Self-Supporting Consciousness in China,though they are used widely in western countries.When exploring Chinese's concept of self,studies should be on the basis of actual conditions and do some analysis and researches with multi-trait and multi-methods,in that phenomenological methods are especially necessary.
