RESUMEN
Abstract@#The popularization of the use of electronic has become a global trend, and children are exposed to devices at younger ages. A large proportion of children and adolescents spend on screen time more than 2 h which is recommended in most guidelines. The paper reviews possible effects of screen time on physical and mental health, as well as mental disorders in children and adolescents. It is found that excessive screen time showed negative impacts on mental health, including depression, anxiety, mood disorder, social adaptational problems, behavioral disorders, self injurious behaviors, and health risk behaviors. Much attention has been paid on the association between excessive screen time and mental health of children and adolescents, while possible mechanisms and influencing factors are lacking. Effective intervention studies are needed to provide a basis for child and adolescent health promotion.
RESUMEN
Esophageal leiomyoma is the most common benign tumor of the esophagus,usually asymptomatic.With the development and widespread application of endoscopic ultrasonography technology,its detection rate has been increasing year by year.Its diagnostic methods have evolved from initial esophagography and chest electronic computed tomography,to endoscopic ultrasonography,endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration,and endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle biopsy.The technology is constantly updated,and the diagnostic accuracy is constantly improving.The treatment methods have also shifted from previous open chest surgery to thoracoscopic surgery,and in recent years,there has been a shift towards ultra minimally invasive techniques such as endoscopic mucosal resection,endoscopic submucosal dissection,endoscopic submucosal excavation,endoscopic full-thickness resection,and submucosal tunnel endoscopic resection.This article provides a review of the diagnosis and endoscopic treatment progress of esophageal leiomyoma.

@#Objective To analyze the relationship between knowledge on cardiovascular disease prevention and ideal cardiovascular health behaviors and factors in community elderly. Methods From December, 2015 to May, 2016, totally 400 elderly in communities with-out overt cardiovascular disease were conveniently sampled. The level of knowledge on cardiovascular disease prevention was measured by self-designed cardiovascular disease prevention questionnaire. And each of the ideal cardiovascular health components was collected. Re-sults A total of 390 responses were valid. 13.85%community elderly were with high level of the knowledge. There were significant differ-ences in the distribution of cardiovascular health indexes among various leves of the knowledge groups (χ2>9.974, P<0.05), except choles-terol (P>0.05). The level of the knowledge was positively correlated with the scores of cardiovascular health behaviors and health factors (r>0.354, P<0.01). The cardiovascular health score, health behaviors score, health factors score and number of ideal cardiovascular health in-dexes were significantly different among various levels of the knowledge groups (F>8.961, P<0.001). Conclusion The level of knowledge on cardiovascular disease prevention was positively correlated with cardiovascular health behavior and health factors. The scores of cardio-vascular health score, health behaviors score and health factors increased with the improvement of knowledge on cardiovascular disease pre-vention.
RESUMEN
At present, the suitable sports rehabilitation methods for frail old people mainly include endurance training, resistance train-ing and comprehensive functional training, while comprehensive functional training includes aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise, and is suitable for the frail elderly to do exercise at home, which is more conducive to further large-scale promotion. In addition, long-term low and medium intensity exercise can improve the balance ability of the elderly, prevent them from fall, improve the physiological function, and ef-fectively regulate muscle potential;while, the high intensity exercise has greater risk for older people. This article introduced the types and effects of exercise in order to provide reference basis for frail old people in China.

In some auditory evoked potential (AEP) examinations, high rate stimulation paradigms deliver more stimuli with the same period of time, which might lead to overlapping responses. At present, several established techniques can be proposed to address such problem, thus the research scope in both scientific and clinical applications is expanded. In this study, the restoring efficiency of evoked responses is investigated using a simulation strategy. We examined the AEPs derived from three paradigms--conventional ensemble averaging, continuous loop averaging deconvolution (CLAD) and maximum length sequence (MLS). Their performances were evaluated by correlation coefficients and Euclidean distances between ideal and the derived responses. We found that MLS can only slightly enhance the performance at the cost of larger stimulus jitter and much more stimulus numbers; while CLAD method with lower jittering even degenerates the quality, suggesting that, in practical use, the recording efficiency will not be significantly improved by simply using high rate stimulation with overlapping responses introduced.

OBJECTIVE To explore the latency characteristics of speech evoked auditory brainstem response(speech-ABR)from healthy Chinese adults by different stimulation intensities and its significance in neural encoding of speech in the brainstem. METHODS ABRs to speech syllables of 32 subjects were recorded in four stimulus intensities varied from 20 to 80 dB SPL by 20 dB steps, under 11.1/s stimulus rate. A set of featured waves were determined under these intensities, and then the characteristics of their latencies were analyzed. RESULTS A series of featured waves were observed starting from onset response(including V and A waves), transitional C wave, then following frequency-following responses(FFRs), and the offset O wave. As the reduction of stimulus intensity, the latencies of speech-ABR delayed significantly(P
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the value of Ligasure and Ultracision in total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH). Methods From January 2002 to December 2006,totally 225 patients received total laparoscopic hysterectomy in our hospital. Among the cases,Ligasure was used in 152 patients,and Ultracision were employed in 72. The clinical data of the patients were reviewed. Results The mean operation time in the Ligasure group was significantly shorter than that in the Ultracision group [(104.9?29.2) min vs. (152.4?46.6) min,t=-9.329,P=0.000]. And the mean blood loss of the Ligasure group was significantly less than that in the other group [(32.9?14.9) ml vs. (126.4?12.1) ml,t=-46.710,P=0.000]. In both the groups,no patient was converted to open surgery or developed complications or surgical injuries. Conclusions Both Ligasure and Ultracision are safe and effective for total laparoscopic hysterectomy. Ligasure is superior in the management of uterine vessels,while the Ultracision is more effective in opening the vesicle and separating the cardinal ligament.
