Comparison of Undernutrition Prevalence of Children under 5 Years in China between 2002 and 2013.

Objective: To describe the undernutrition status of children under 5-year in China, and study the trend between 2002 and 2013).

Methods: The study was based on two national surveys. Undernutrition was determined against WHO's 2006 growth standards.

Effect of in-home fortification of complementary feeding on intellectual development of Chinese children.

Objective: To explore the effect of in-home fortification of complementary feeding on intellectual development of Chinese children aged below 24 months.

Methods: One thousand and four hundred seventy eight children aged 4-12 months were recruited and divided into study groups (formula 1 group and formula 2 group) and control group. In two study groups, in addition to the usual complementary food, children were fed with a sachet of fortified food supplement each day.

Complementary feeding and growth of infant and young child in China.

Objective: To understand the status and problems of complementary feeding and to explore the strategy of improving complementary feeding for infants and young children in China.

Method: Data of urban and rural children were selected from the China Food and Nutrition Surveillance System (CFNSS) dataset to describe the status of complementary feeding and growth of children. Logistic Regression was used to analyze the relationship between child growth and the complementary feeding pattern.

Report on childhood obesity in China (6) evaluation of a classroom-based physical activity promotion program.

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of Happy 10 program on the promotion of physical activity, physical growth and development of primary-school students, and on obesity control and prevention.

Methods: Two similar primary schools from one district of Beijing, China were selected, one as an intervention school and the other as a control school. Happy 10 program was implemented at least once every school day in the intervention school for two semesters, whereas no intervention was adopted in the control school.

Distribution of Kv3.3 potassium channel subunits in distinct neuronal populations of mouse brain.

Kv3.3 proteins are pore-forming subunits of voltage-dependent potassium channels, and mutations in the gene encoding for Kv3.3 have recently been linked to human disease, spinocerebellar ataxia 13, with cerebellar and extracerebellar symptoms.

[The changes of the attributable factors of child growth].

Objective: To rule out the attributable factors of child growth in China and the changes of the factors in the past 15 years for the planning of future nutrition improvement of children in China.

Method: The datasets of 1990 - 2005 China Food and Nutrition Surveillance were used and the Multi-factorial Logistic Regression analysis was used. The AR% of these factors and the changes of the attributable factors during the past 15 years were presented.

[Analysis on the changes of nutritional situation in past 15 years (1990 - 2005) in China the 15 - year establishment of Chinese food and nutrition surveillance system( CFNSS)].

Objective: To establish a Food and Nutrition Surveillance System as the supplementation to the Nationwide Nutritional Survey conducted in China for every ten years. To understand the changes and trend of child growth during the period in fast economic development in China. To provide the basis for policy-maker.

[Prevalence of overweight and obesity and its associated risk factors in students aged 11-17 in Xi'an in 2004].

Objective: To assess the magnitude of overweight and obesity and its associated sociodemographic factors in adolescents attending junior high schools in Xi'an, Shanxi province.

Methods: A total of 1 804 adolescents attending junior high schools in Xi'an (age: 11-17 years) were enrolled randomly from 30 schools in 6 districts in Xi'an. Overweight and obesity was categorized with body mass index (BMI) cutoffs from Working Group of Obesity in China (WGOC).

Specific functions of synaptically localized potassium channels in synaptic transmission at the neocortical GABAergic fast-spiking cell synapse.

Potassium (K+) channel subunits of the Kv3 subfamily (Kv3.1-Kv3.4) display a positively shifted voltage dependence of activation and fast activation/deactivation kinetics when compared with other voltage-gated K+ channels, features that confer on Kv3 channels the ability to accelerate the repolarization of the action potential (AP) efficiently and specifically.

Is an indwelling catheter necessary for bladder drainage after modified Burch colposuspension?

Catheterization is considered to be a mandatory procedure for adequate bladder drainage following an anti-incontinence operation until the recovery of normal voiding function occurs. We conducted this prospective study to challenge this practice. A total of 86 patients with genuine stress incontinence who underwent a modified Burch coplosuspension were randomized into two groups based on the day of operation.
