    Abstract970)      PDF (592KB)(123)      
    Objective To analyze the correlation between deformational plagiocephaly and/or brachycephaly (DPB) and motor developmental delay in infants, so as to provide theoretical basis for early motor development screening and intervention in DPB infants. Methods A total of 7 826 children aged 6 - 12 months who visited Mianyang Maternal & Child Health Care Hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were inlcuded in this study. DPB infants were selected as the study subjects, and the prevalence rate was analyzed.2 761 DPB infants were divided into mild, moderate, and severe DPB groups, and 1 900 normal children were included as the control group. Peabody Developmental Motor Scale-2 (PDMS-2) was used to evaluate the levels of gross and fine motor development in children in each case group and control group. Univariate analysis and LSD- t test were used to analyze the differences in gross motor quotient (GMQ) and fine motor quotient (FMQ) of children in each group. χ2 test was used to analyze the rate of motor developmental delay in children in each group. Results The prevalence rate ofDPB was 35.47%. There were statistically significant differences in GMQ and FMQ among the mild DPB group, moderate DPB group, severe DPB group, and control group ( F=171.271, 194.877, P<0.05). Further statistical comparison showed that there was no statistically significant difference in GMQ and FMQ between mild DPB group and control group ( P>0.05). The GMQ and FMQ of the moderate and severe DPB groups were significantly lower than those of the control group ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the rate of developmental delay in gross and fine motor development between each case group and the control group ( χ2=7.478 , 5.777 , P>0.05). Conclusions The prevalence of DPB in Mianyang area is relatively high, and DPB do not increase the probability of motor development delay. However, infants with moderate to severe DPB have significantly lower levels of motor development compared to healthy infants. It is recommended to screen infants with DPB as soon as possible, and conduct motor development screening and exercise promotion for infants with moderate to severe DPB.

    Abstract732)      PDF (1202KB)(70)      
    Objective To identify the influencing factors of infant motor development,and to explore the potential interactive factors, so as to provide scientific basis for early prediction and targeted prevention of infant motor developmental delay. Methods Data of infants receiving "0~1 motor development screening" at 21 community health service centers in Tongzhou District, from January 1st, 2020 to August 31st, 2021 were collected through the Beijing Maternal and Child Information System.Using the method of nested case-control study, 416 infants with positive screening results were selected as case group, 416 infants with negative screening result were selected into the control group by 1∶1 case-control matching of screening age.Chi-square test, Logistic regression analysis, and Exhaustive CHAID decision tree model were used to explore the influencing factors of infant motor development, the interaction effect was investigated by using the additive and multiplicative interaction models. Results Multivariate Logistic analysis showed that birth weight<2 500g ( OR=3.28), cesarean section ( OR=1.63), outdoor activity≤ 1h/d ( OR=3.07), and no supplementation of vitamin D ( OR=2.68) were risk factors for positive screening results of infant motor development ( P<0.01).The Exhaustive CHAID decision tree showed that low birth weight was the primary risk factor for infant with positive screening results, followed by outdoor activity, vitamin D supplementation and delivery.The interaction analysis showed that there was a multiplicative interaction ( OR=13.76, 95% CI:1.20 - 158.08) and an additive interaction ( RERI=10.22, 95% CI:5.05 - 15.38) between non supplementation of vitamin D and low birth weight on infant motor development with positive screening results. Conclusions Attention should be paid to the early motor development of infants with low birth weight and those born by cesarean section, with emphasis on the dosage of vitamin D supplementation and outdoor activity duration.Moreover, the early screening and hierarchical management of infant motor development should also be strengthened.

    Chinese Journal of Child Health Care    2024, 32 (2): 133-137.   DOI: 10.11852/zgetbjzz2023-0689
    Abstract566)      PDF (501KB)(90)      
    Objective To investigate the current state of infant responsive caregiving and to analyze its correlation with caregiver parenting confidence, in order to provide theoretical basis for improving the level of responsive care for infants and young children. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted from October 2022 to February 2023 to select 1 028 infants and young children under 3 years old who underwent health examinations in the Department of Child Healthcare. Participants completed a general data questionnaire, the Karitane Parenting Confidence Scale, and the Infant Responsive Caregiving Scale. Hierarchical multiple linear regression analysis was used to investigate the related influencing factors of infant responsive care and to analyze the relationship between caregiver parenting confidence and responsive caregiving. Results The level of responsive caregiving was found to be associated with various factors such as infant age(χ 2=21.196), mode of pregnancy(Z=-2.072), history of pregnancy protection during pregnancy(Z=-4.713), history of pregnancy complications (Z=-4.504), gestational week at birth(χ 2=41.358), small for term infants(Z=-3.497), neonatal intracranial hemorrhage(Z=-5.425), neonatal hyperbilirubinemia(Z=-2.184), maternal education level(χ 2=9.419), family income(χ 2=11.211) as well as type of family (χ 2=15.360)(P < 0.05). Additionally, a significant correlation was observed between parenting confidence and responsive caregiving(r=0.421, P<0.001). Hierarchical multiple linear regression analysis revealed that caregiver parenting confidence had a significant positive effect on the level of responsive caregiving (B=0.623, P<0.05), even after controlling for the effect of demographic factors. Conclusion The level of infant responsive caregiving is influenced by caregiver parenting confidence, and increasing caregiver parenting confidence can effectively improve the quality of responsive caregiving for infants and young children.

    Osteoporosis begins in childhood, and the accumulation of bone strength and bone mass during growth and development is essential for the prevention of osteoporosis and fragility fractures. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, as the preferred bone mass assessment technique for children and adolescents with osteoporosis, can be combined with clinically significant fractures to make a diagnosis of osteoporosis. Peak bone mass and bone mineral density(BMD) can be increased through intervention of factors such as physical activity, nutritional intake, medication, and lifestyle. Hospitals, families, schools, the internet and other parties should join forces to strengthen the popularization of osteoporosis knowledge and promote the disease cognition and bone protection behavior of children and adolescents. This article reviews the definition, assessment tools and influencing factors of osteoporosis in children and adolescents, so as to provide reference for promoting the prevention and intervention of osteoporosis in children and adolescents.

    Chinese Journal of Child Health Care    2022, 30 (4): 386-391.   DOI: 10.11852/zgetbjzz2021-0474
    Abstract536)      PDF (702KB)(286)      
    Objective To develop the Responsive Caregiving Rating Scale for children aged 0 to 4 years (RCRS), and to testify its reliability and validity. Methods Based on attachment theory and the existing responsive caregiving scales, the original items of the scale were formed. A total of 2 759 parents whose children aged 0 to 4 years in Shanghai were recruited from March to May 2020, and each parent was asked to fill in an online questionnaire. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were performed to test the structural validity. The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) was used to test the concurrent validity. Results The exploratory factor analysis indicated that RCRS had 16 items grouped into three dimensions, which explained 78.04% of the total variance. The confirmatory factor analysis showed that the three-dimension model fit well (CFI=0.971, TLI=0.965, RMSEA=0.069, SRMR=0.024). The Cronbach's α coefficient for the overall scale was 0.97, which in the dimensions of promotion of cognitive and emotional development, responsive, respect for autonomy was 0.95, 0.93 and 0.91, respectively. The scores of RCRS were significantly different between the normal and the abnormal children evaluated by SDQ( Z=7.071, P<0.05). Conclusion The RCRC is demonstrated to be an ideal tool with good reliability and validity to assess the quality of responsive caregiving.

    Chinese Journal of Child Health Care    2024, 32 (9): 934-936.   DOI: 10.11852/zgetbjzz2024-0894
    Abstract514)      PDF (571KB)(57)      
    Familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by variations in the LPL gene, which codes for lipoprotein lipase, or in genes coding for proteins that regulate lipoprotein lipase activity. Markedly elevated plasma triglyceride (TG) levels (typically >10mmol/L), along with the resulting rash yellow tumor, retinal hyperlipidemia, splenomegaly, recurrent abdominal pain, and pancreatitis attacks are the main clinical manifestations of FCS. Among them, pancreatitis is the primary life-threatening complication and the main cause of reduced quality of life, with its incidence and severity clearly related to plasma TG levels. Conventional lipid-lowering drugs are typically ineffective in FCS patients. Currently, a long-term strict very low-fat diet is the main treatment for this disease. This usually involves reducing dietary fat intake to 10% - 15% of total energy needs while ensuring adequate intake of essential fatty acids. Dietary management can rapidly lower plasma TG levels and effectively prevent complications related to hypertriglyceridemia. However, maintaining and adhering to such a strict very low-fat diet regimen over the long term remains challenging. Surveys have shown that a large part of patients face psychological and social support issues. Therefore, the treatment of FCS requires interdisciplinary collaboration in pharmacology, genetics, nutrition, psychology, and other fields.

    Abstract485)      PDF (667KB)(247)      
    Objective To introduce Nursing Child Interaction (PCI) Feeding Scale into China, and to assess the reliability and validity of PCI Feeding Scale in Chinese parent-child dyads. Methods Under the recommended steps by the International Testing Committee, PCI Feeding Scale was translated, then Chinese Version of Parent-Child Interaction Feeding Scale (PCI-FS-C) was developed. From June 2018 to January 2019, 310 parent-child dyads from four hospitals in Beijing, Yinchuan, Lanzhou and Maanshan were selected by convenience sampling, and PCI-FS-C was adopted to code their feeding interaction. Reliability was evaluated by internal consistency (Cronbach's α coefficient) and test-retest reliability (inter-item consistency) conducted with 10% of the samples randomly selected. Six samples were selected to evaluate rater reliability. Chinese Version of Infant-Toddler Home Observation Measurement of the Environment (IT-HOME-C) was used to exam the concurrent validity by Spearman correlation in 41 samples. Multivariate linear regression was used to evaluate discriminant validity. Results Totally 273valid mother-infant dyads were included in this study. The Cronbach's α coefficients of total score, caregiver and infant subscale scores were 0.846, 0.805 and 0.690, respectively. Both caregiver subscale ( r=0.778) and PCI-FS-C ( r=0.847) had excellent test-retest reliability, while the infant subcale showed acceptable test-retest reliability ( r=0.480) ( P< 0.01). For rater reliability, the Kendall coefficient of PCI-FS-C was 0.860. PCI-FS-C, caregiver subscale and infant subscale were moderately associated with IT-HOME-C ( r=0.526, 0.506, 0.427, P<0.05). After controlling for mixed factors, there were significant differences among different age groups in PCI-FS-C, caregiver subscale and infant subscale ( b=3.24, 2.31, 0.92). Conclusions PCI-FS-C is a valid assessment for Chinese mother-infants, which fills the gap for assessment using an Objective measurement of caregiver/parent-child interaction in China. Enlarged sample size is suggested for culture-adapted study in future.
