Objective:To understand the birth status of neonates and physical and intelligence development of neonates and infants in Hefei city,explore physical development deviation and nutritional deficiency,provide a basis for improving early health care level of children.Methods:The live-bom infants from January 1,2004 to June 30,2008 in Hefei city were surveyed,physical and neuropsychological development of infants borned from 2007 to 2008 were monitored and analysed.Results:The average birth weight,birth length,birth head circumference and birth chest cimumference of live-bom infants from 2004 to 2008 in Hefei city were(3 370±451)g,(50.26±1.67)cm,(34.09±1.37)cm and(33.06±1.57)cm respectively.The incidences of low birth weight,macrosomia,premature and post-term infants were 2.1%~2.8%,7.8%~9.4%,3.7%~4.3% and 2.0%~3.6%.The detection rate of low birth weight was low,the detection rates of obesity of boys and girls were 6.9%~8.4% and 3.6%~6.4%.The level of hemoglobin increased with the increasing of age,the detection rate of suspicious rickets showed an inversion V-shaped variation,and the detection rate of infants aged 6 months was the highest.There was no significant difference in every ergoregion and whole score of neuropsychological development between boys and girls.Conclusion:Physical growth and development of neonates and infants in Hefei city is at a good level,but the incidences of macrosomia and suspicious rickets are high and excess energy intake exists.The detection rate of anemia is high during food supplement period.Nutrition education and early intervention are important.

Objective To identify the status of physical development and anemia among preschool children aged 3 ~7 in Jingxian county,Anhui province,in order to provide basic information for further intervention. Methods From the county children's health monitoring database,6 867 children's health examination data( aged at 3 ~ 7,from 23 kindergartens) were chose for analysis. Results Among the 6 867 children,the proportions of boys and girls were 52. 5% and 47. 5%,and the mean height of boys was higher than girls in all age groups( P 0. 001). In 5 ~ 7 and 6 ~ 7 years old groups,the mean weight of boys was higher than that of girls( P 0. 001). Meanwhile,the mean height and weight for both boys and girls were higher than the WHO reference,except for boys' height and weight and girls' weight in the group of 3 ~ 4 years old. The prevalence of overweight and obesity were 14. 7% and 5. 9%,and the rate of emaciation,growth retardation and severe chronic malnutrition were 2. 0%,4. 3% and 0. 1% respectively. The prevalence of anemia was 11. 5%,with most mild anemia. Conclusion The physical development of kindergarten children in Jingxian county was good,but there were nutritional deficiency and unbalance and anemia rate was pretty high. Measures should be taken to control these problems.

This is not true, unfortunately, of the physical as well as of the mental development of the immature infant.

Twenty four patients (14 girls and 10 boys aged six months to 23 years) with congenital hypothyroidism were studied. The diagnoses of all subjects were made 15 days to one year after birth. After being diagnosed, each child was started immediately on replacement hormonotherapy. Parameters of their physical and mental development were analyzed depending on the type of thyroid disorder, patient age at the beginning of treatment and the adequacy of treatment. These parameters were within the normal limits for 71 percent of the patients. However, the remaining 29 percent of the patients were mentally retarded. The authors' assumption is that the lower intellectual parameters for these patients were primarily a result of delayed diagnoses and irregularly conducted treatments in household surroundings.

Abstract Background The objective of this study was to evaluate the physical growth and development characteristics of children with Williams syndrome (WS) aged 0–24 months, and provide help for early diagnosis of WS. Methods A total of 32 cases of children (17 males and 15 females) aged 0–24 months who were diagnosed with WS were enrolled between 2008 and 2017. These children were divided into four different groups: 1–6 months (six cases), 7–12 months (eight cases), 12–18 months (nine cases) and 19–24 months (nine cases). Meanwhile, a total of 32 healthy children (17 males and 15 females) were enrolled in the study from the Department of Health Care for physical examination in our hospital as the control group and matched with each divided group. Weight and height were measured, and meanwhile birth weight and height were also asked and recorded. Results There was no statistically significant difference in birth height between the two groups (p>0.05), and birth weight and the height and weight of the children with WS in the four groups were significantly lower than those of the children in the normal control (NC) group (p>0.05). When the corresponding age of WS children was compared to the Nine City Growth Curve Standards in China, 97% of cases were lagging behind in physical growth and development. Conclusions WS children often have the features of early slow physical growth, which provides certain help for the early diagnosis of WS. Therefore, for younger children, facial features combined with an accurate and objective physical growth assessment and ultrasonic cardiogram can greatly improve the screening rate.

Numerous complications of nephrotic syndrome due to either the illness itself or repeated courses of high-dose corticosteroids have been well recognised for several score years. However, investigations concerning children of ex-patients are lacking. The purpose of this study was to assess physical development and health state in the group of children whose mothers had suffered from the idiopathic nephrotic syndrome during their childhood. 34 such children were studied. Thorough medical history was taken from children and their mothers and available medical documents data were obtained. Physical examination was performed and centile position of weight, height and their proportion was stated. The authors found that stillborn foetus, premature or low birth weight newborn incidence is much higher than in general population and the percentage of overweight and obesity is higher in the studied group than in general population. To confirm these findings further investigations with greater number of patients are necessary.

Objective:To probe into the effects of early intervention on premature infants' physical growth and development.Methods:Applying the early intervention program designed by us,a group of premature neonates and a group of the term-for-age neonates were simultaneously intervened,conducted by the mothers under the health workers' guidance.The weight,length and HC waschecked and compared.Results:There were statistically significant differences in weight,length and HC between two groups at birth and at the age of 3 months(P0.01),but with no significant differences at the age of 6 months and later after the intervention(P0.05).Conclusion:Early intervention promotes premature infants' physical development so as to catch up the term-for-age infants.

Down syndrome is one of the main causes of intellectual disability in children. It occurs in every community and ethnic group. Several co-morbid conditions are associated with this syndrome. The present study was conducted to determine the frequency of congenital heart disease and thyroid dysfunction in a group of children affected with this genetic disorder. It was a record based retrospective study. A child having specific clinical features and chromosomal analysis showing an extra chromosome 21 was diagnosed as having Down syndrome. Diagnosis of congenital heart disease was based upon results of echocardiography. Thyroid dysfunction was diagnosed when either or both tetraiodothyronine and thyroid-stimulating hormone serum levels were abnormal. Three hundred and fifty cases were enrolled in the study according to the preset criteria for Down syndrome. Two hundred and ten (60%) were males and 140 (40%) females showing male to female ratio as 1.5 to 1. Majority of the children (55.1%) presented between 7 months and 24 months of age. Congenital heart defects were found in 41.8% of the cases. Ventricular septal defect was the most common, 41%. Thyroid dysfunction was found in 22% (n=60) of the cases of which 5.9% (n=16) had hypothyroidism. In conclusion, the frequency of congenital heart disease and thyroid dysfunction in Down syndrome children is high. Early referral of these children to tertiary health care facilities is emphasized as timely detection and management of these comorbid conditions will help in reducing the morbidity and mortality in this group of children.
