    YANG Bin-rang, CHEN Qiao-ru
    Chinese Journal of Child Health Care    2022, 30 (12): 1277-1281.   DOI: 10.11852/zgetbjzz2022-1315
    Abstract328)      PDF (734KB)(454)      
    Executive function impairment emerges as a primary cognitive deficit in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), involving prefrontal cortex and multi-level brain network dysfunction. Executive function has been functionally classified into cool and hot. Cool-executive function impairment mainly manifests in response inhibition, working memory and cognitive flexibility, while hot-executive function impairment usually involves delayed gratification, reward/punishment-related decision-making, self-regulation and emotion regulation. A variety of traditional paradigms have been used when assessing executive function in ADHD children, some of which are reliably modified and culturally adapted. Based on the literature, clinical practice should not focus exclusively on cool executive function. Children′s impairment in hot executive function (with emotional and social components) should also be noted as significant indicators when evaluating the state of children′s condition. Additionally, dynamic follow-up and intervention should be required to achieve the best results in the long term.

    Status of vitamin A, vitamin D and comorbidity of both deficiency in Chinese children
    YIN Shian, YANG Zhenyu
    Chinese Journal of Child Health Care    2024, 32 (3): 301-306.   DOI: 10.11852/zgetbjzz2024-0146
    Abstract245)      PDF (617KB)(304)      
    Vitamin A and vitamin D deficiencies or insufficiencies in children remain global public health problems. The deficiencies of both vitamin A and vitamin D exist in Chinese children, the deficiency of vitamin A is mainly marginal (about 30%) in children aged 0 - 12 years.Vitamin D deficiency and prevalence are common in healthy children aged 0 - 18 years, among which the severe deficiency rate is 2.46%, the deficiency rate is 21.57%, and the marginal deficiency rate is 28.71%.The deficiency rate gradually increases with the increase of age.Since the respective bioactive metabolites of vitamin A and vitamin D, retinoic acid and 1 and 25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3 have hormone-like properties, and both metabolites are synthesized from their vitamin precursors by different tissues and cells in the body, there may be a synergistic effect between both on target cells remotely by binding to nuclear hormone receptors.A high proportion of concurrent vitamin A and vitamin D deficiencies (comorbidities) in malnourished children under 5 years of age in low- and middle-income countries and poor areas will affect the immune response in a highly specific way, in addition to causing growth and developmental disorders (e.g., growth retardation, motor retardation), it also increases susceptibility to infectious diseases (e.g., recurrent respiratory infections, diarrhea), allergic diseases (e.g., asthma, atopic dermatitis), and neurodevelopmental disorders (touretic disorder, autism spectrum disorder).Therefore, children in the period of growth and development may benefit from supplementing with vitamin A and vitamin D.

    Abstract228)      PDF (551KB)(239)      
    Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder in childhood,with inattention,hyperactivity and impulsivity as the main symptoms,and it is mainly manifested as hyperactivity in preschool period. ADHD has a seriously negative impact on children′s academic performance,interpersonal communication,physical and mental development and other aspects,and can continue to adolescence or adulthood. Early intervention can reduce the core symptoms of ADHD and reduce the incidence of comorbidities. Current interventions for preschool ADHD include behavioral therapy,physical therapy and drug therapy. Drug treatment can significantly improve the core symptoms of ADHD,but it can not improve the social interaction and executive functions of preschool children,and the side reactions of drugs can cause problems such as drug addiction and poor compliance. Behavior therapy can not only improve children′s social function and emotional problems,reduce the pressure of parenting,but also have no problems such as drug side reactions,which has become a current research hotspot. This article reviews the intervention progress in ADHD in preschool children.

    Abstract264)      PDF (530KB)(217)      
    Objective To investigate the clinical features and high influencing factors of language delay in children, in order to provide reference for the early detection and intervention. Methods From November 2019 to July 2020, a total of 126 children with language delay in the Department of Child Health Care, Children's Hospital of Fudan University were enrolled in case group. While 100 normally developed children who visited the hospital from May to July 2020 were selected as control group. Children in case group were assessed by Gesell test. For both groups, a self-designed questionnaire about individual information and family environment was used to collected related information, including gestational age, pregnancy interval, delivery mode, birth weight, initial walking age, main caregivers, screen time and maternal education level. Results The first visit age for 126 children with language delay was (29.2±4.5) months. The ratio of boys and girls was 2.7∶1. Developmental quotients (DQs) of language, gross motor, fine motor, adaptive and social in Gesell Development Scale were 49.9±16.3, 73.5±15.4, 72.4±18.1, 70.2±16.2 and 60.4±16.4, respectively. The ratio of the preterm birth in the case group was higher than that in the control group( χ 2=4.873, P<0.05). For children in the case group, the initial walking age was later than that in the control group [(14.7±2.4) months vs. (12.6±2.0) months, t=5.766, P<0.05]. The screen time of children in case group was longer than that of the control group [(3.6±1.9) h vs. (1.20±1.0) h, t=10.587, P<0.05]. The level of maternal education of case group was lower than that of control group ( t=7.973, P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the main caregiver, pregnancy interval and delivery mode between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions Children with language delay may suffer from problems in other developmental areas as well. The longer screen time, lower maternal education and preterm birth may be the influencing factors for language delay in childhood.

    Abstract187)      PDF (25873KB)(213)      
    Objective To develop a Physical Activity Afterschool Questionnaire for Preschooler (P-PAQ), and to examine its reliability and validity, so as to provide a reliable and effective measurement tool for assessing Chinese preschooler′s physical activity after school. Methods P-PAQ was developed after reviewing the literature and consulting physical activity experts, also integrating with the characteristic of Chinese preschooler′s physical activity after school. The frequency and duration of children′s physical activity after school with various intensities in the past week (including 5 school days and 2 weekend days) was investigated. Recruitment of children aged 3 to 6 years was conducted utilizing a convenience sampling method in three kindergartens from Beijing, Shenyang and Xi′an from November to December 2020. Totally 225 children′s primary caregivers filled in P-PAQ twice with two-day interval to explore the test-retest reliability. Additional 229 children wore accelerometers (ActiGraph GT9X) for one week, then their primary caregivers filled in P-PAQ. Results The intra-group correlation coefficient(ICC) of test-retest on school days and weekends for the light physical activity, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, and total physical activity time ranged from 0.636 to 0.844 ( P<0.01). Spearman correlation coefficient between time spent on moderate-to-vigorous activity on schooldays and weekends was 0.153 and 0.151, respectively ( P<0.05). Bland-Altman plots showed that P-PAQ and accelerometer had great consistency in measuring preschooler′s physical activity after school. Conclusion P-PAQ has good reliability and validity, which can be used to investigate physical activity behavior of preschool children, and to guide caregivers to improve children′s physical activity level after school in community and family settings.

    Abstract161)      PDF (602KB)(212)      
    It has been widely recognized that the early stage of life is a critical period for brain development, which is of high plasticity. Evidence from brain science has demonstrated that nurturing care environment has an important influence on the structure and function of children's brains, as well as their psychological and behavioral development. During this critical stage, good health, adequate nutrition, responsive care, security and safety, and opportunities for early learning all together provide an early environment that children's brain development requires, and further promote the development of children's cognitive functions, including sensory, perceptual, sensorimotor, language, cognitive, emotional and social abilities, to fully make the rise of early developmental potential. Taken together, in an effort to promote children's health, it is of pivotal importance to widely carry out nurturing care under the guidance of brain science and also create an optimal caring environment to support early development and especially the development of the brain.

    Abstract185)      PDF (574KB)(211)      
    Objective To investigate the needs and influencing factors of family nurturing for infants, so as to provide reference for promoting the combination of medical education and care services. Methods From September to November 2020, 3 439 infants were selected from 9 provinces and 12 cities in China for questionnaire survey. Parents were asked to fill in general information and family rearing questionnaire to collect the needs of infant families for nurturing guidance. Results Among 3 439 infants, 29.7% had the need for nurturing guidance, especially for responsive care and early learning opportunities. Logistics regression analysis showed that the main caregivers were father( OR=0.476,95% CI:0.361 - 0.629)and(maternal) grandparents( OR=0.455,95% CI:0.304 - 0.681), farmers( OR=0.395,95% CI:0.240 - 0.649)and retirement( OR=0.612,95% CI:0.500 - 0.750)were protective factors for guidance needs for infants and toddlers family nurturing care. Stem family( OR=1.295,95% CI:1.101 - 1.523), single-parent family( OR=2.631,95% CI:1.405 - 4.927), caregivers with educational level of college/graduate( OR=2.180,95% CI:1.600 - 2.971), postgraduate and above( OR=3.116,95% CI:2.109 - 4.811)and average monthly household income of >10 001 - 20 000 yuan( OR=1.815,95% CI:1.407 - 2.340), above 20 000 yuan( OR=2.846,95% CI:2.125 - 3.813)were risk factors for demand for high guidance needs for infants and toddlers family nurturing care. Conclusions At present, families in China have a certain need for guidance on the nurturing care of infants and toddlers. Medical and health care institutions, especially maternal and child health care institutions, should continue to improve their professional guidance and health services for the nurturing care of infants and toddlers in order to further improve the quality of family care.

    Abstract209)      PDF (490KB)(208)      
    Objective To investigate the clinical features of language delay in children, in order to provide reference for the early detection and intervention. Methods From June 2019 to April 2020, a total of 151 children with language delay in the Department of Child Health care, Henan Children's Hospital were enrolled in this study. Children's intelligence was assessed by Gesell Development Scale. The ratios of developmental language delay and global developmental delay in children aged 1- years, 2- years and 3 - 4 years were analyzed. The differences of developmental quotients (DQs) in each area among the three age groups were compared, which were also compared between children younger and older than 3 years old. Results 1) The proportion of global developmental delay in children with language retardation as the main complaint increased gradually with the increase of age, which was 45.5%,61.2% and 95.5% in children in 1-,2-, 3 - 4 age group, respectively. 2) With the increase of age, the DQs of adaptability, gross motor, fine motor, language and social interaction area decreased gradually ( F=26.175, 17.341, 18.516, 6.747, 4.180, P<0.05). There was a significantly sequential downward trend in adaptability, gross motor, fine motor, and language area from group 1- years to 2- years then to 3 - 4 years old (P<0.05). In social interaction area, there was only significant difference between children aged 1- years and 3 - 4 years ( F=2.835, P=0.005). 3) The DQ values of children over 3 years old were significantly lower than those under 3 years old ( F =5.521, 4.710, 4.933, 2.919, 2.670, P<0.01). Conclusions With the increase of age, the vast majority of children with language delay are not simple language problems, but more likely to be global developmental delay. Early screening, early diagnosis and early intervention are very important in the critical period of language development in children before the age of 3.

    Abstract236)      PDF (680KB)(205)      
    Objective To verify the reliability and validity of Chinese Toddler Sleep Assessment Scale(TSAS), and to establish national norm and cut-off score. Methods Using multistage random sampling, totally 2 816 urban and rural caregivers whose child aged 12 to 35 months were selected in 14 cities of 7 provinces from May to December 2021. The internal consistency reliability, split-half reliability and confirmatory factor analysis were used to verify the reliability and validity of the scale. The percentile norm( P 5, P 15, P 50, P 85 and P 95) was established, and the total TSAS scores exceeding P 85 and P 97 were determined as the cut-offs for identifying poor sleep and abnormal sleep. Results The Cronbach′s α coefficients of TSAS was 0.73, the split-half reliability was 0.81, and the factor structure models were stable, which showed good reliability and validity. The age norm of TSAS was established. The total score >40 indicated poor sleep, and > 45 indicated abnormal sleep. Conclusions TSAS has stable reliability and validity. The established norm and cut-off can provide Objective reference for its promotion and application.

    Chinese Journal of Child Health Care    2023, 31 (4): 365-368.   DOI: 10.11852/zgetbjzz2022-0682
    Abstract171)      PDF (526KB)(204)      
    Objective To analyze the characteristics of children with language development delay at diffierent ages, so as to provide scientific basis for early clinical detection and intervention. Methods A study was conducted in children aged 1.5 to 6 years with questionnaire survey during January 2020 to January 2021.The S-S linguistic retardation assessment was adopted.Then the language development characteristics and influencing factors were analyzed. Results 1) The age of delayed speech visits was mainly between 1.5 and 3.5 years old, with an average of 2.6 years old, and significantly more boys than girls.Among children with delayed speech visits, 52.48% had an expressive vocabulary of less than 10 words, and 12.38% visited the hospital because they did not speak, the level of language comprehension was mainly at the symbolic stage of things, 80.20% had behavioral problems, 58.29% had dietary behavioral problems.And 62.87% were exposed to electronic screens for more than 1h/d, 50.99% parent-child interaction was less than 2h/d.2) The proportion oflanguage comprehension delay and operational task delaywere significantly different among different age groups ( χ 2=13.68, 17.62, P<0.01).The proportion of delayed language comprehension gradually increased with age, and the difference was most significant around 2 years old.The rate of operational task delay was higher in each age groups.3) Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that higher education level of the main caregiver was a protective factor for language comprehension ( OR=0.81, 95% CI:0.67 - 0.97, P<0.05), while behavioral problems increased the risk of operational task delay ( OR=2.84, 95% CI:1.21 - 6.65, P<0.05). Conclusions Language development delays mostly occur in children around 2.5 years of age and are prone to behavioral problems.After 2 years of age, in addition to language delays, children are more likely to have a combination of comprehension delays and operational delays, and behavioral problems increase the risk for operational delays.Therefore, early screening and targeted interventions are necessary, and scientific parenting and favorable behavior habits may help to children's early language development.
