RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: In patients with liver failure (LF), the high rate of secondary infections, which are associated with poor prognosis, highlights the clinical significance of understanding the underlying risk factors and implementing targeted intervention programs. AIM: To investigate risk factors for secondary infections in patients with LF and evaluate the effectiveness of comprehensive nursing interventions. METHODS: This retrospective study included 64 patients with LF, including 32 with and 32 without secondary infections. A questionnaire was used to collect data on age; laboratory parameters, including total and direct bilirubin, prothrombin time, blood ammonia, and other biochemical parameters; invasive procedures; and complications. Patients with secondary infections received comprehensive nursing intervention in addition to routine nursing care, whereas those without secondary infections received only routine nursing care to compare the effect of nursing intervention on outcomes. RESULTS: The infection rate, which was not associated with age or complications, was significantly associated with biochemical parameters and invasive procedures (P < 0.05). The infection rate was 61.6% in patients who had undergone invasive procedures and 32.1% in those who had not undergone invasive procedures during the hospital stay. The infection rate was also significantly associated with the type of LF (P < 0.05), with the lowest rate observed in patients with acute LF and the highest rate observed in those with subacute LF. The nursing satisfaction rate was 58.3% in the uninfected group and 91.7% in the infected group, indicating significantly higher satisfaction in the infected group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: In patients with LF, the rate of secondary infections was high and associated with biochemical parameters and type of LF. Comprehensive nursing intervention can improve patient satisfaction.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Internet addiction jeopardizes teenagers' physical and mental health, as well as their academic performance, and causes a variety of cognitive dysfunctions and psychological and mental health illnesses, among other things. It is a huge issue that families, schools, and society must address immediately. OBJECTIVES: This study used network meta-analysis to evaluate the impact of several interventions on college students' Internet addiction. The goal was to identify the most effective interventions and establish a reference for future interventions. We systematically searched relevant literature in domestic and international databases such as Web of Science, PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Pro Quest, China Knowledge, Wan fang, Wipo, etc. We assessed the risk of bias according to the revised Cochrane Randomized Trials Risk of Bias Tool (RoB2) and used R Studio Software and Stata 14.0 for traditional meta-analysis and network meta-analysis. A network meta-analysis based on the IAT scale showed that comprehensive interventions had the highest probability of being the best intervention for IA (SUCRA = 90.6 % based on IAT); focused solution short-term therapy had the highest probability of being the best intervention for IA based on the CIAS-R (19 White Feather) scale (SUCRA = 100 %). CONCLUSIONS: The majority of interventions have a significant influence on the treatment of IA, and improvements in Internet addiction symptoms are more noticeable when a combination of interventions is used rather than just one.

RESUMEN

What is already known about this topic?: The mortality rate and disease burden associated with falls among the elderly in China are on the rise. Interventions can play a crucial role in preventing and managing falls. What is added by this report?: The application of the "5E" injury prevention strategy led to a decrease in both the occurrence of falls and the likelihood of subsequent falls. Regular physical activity and maintaining a positive outlook were identified as protective measures against falls, while sleep issues and hearing impairment were found to increase the risk of falling. What are the implications for public health practice?: The group-based comprehensive intervention strategy is crucial as it offers an innovative intervention model and empirical evidence for decreasing fall rates among elderly individuals living in rural areas.

RESUMEN

Objective: To explore the outcome of nutritional intervention in child health care on infant growth and disease prevention. Methods: It was a retrospective study. Ninty-two infants who received child health intervention in The Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from September 2020 to June 2022 were selected as the research objects. According to the random number table method, they were divided into control group (46 cases, routine health intervention) and observation group (46 cases, nutritional intervention based on the control group) using the sealed envelope system. The growth and development, nutritional diseases and guardian satisfaction of the two groups were compared. Results: The scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group in gross motor, fine motor, language and individual-social aspects. The total incidence of nutritional diseases in the observation group (2.17%) was lower than that in the control group (17.39%); In terms of total satisfaction rate, the observation group (100.00%) was higher than the control group (86.96%), with a statistical difference (P<0.05). Conclusion: Applying nutrition intervention to child health care plays an important role in maintaining the healthy growth and development of infants and reducing the incidence of nutritional diseases such as anemia and rickets. It needs to be promoted in clinical practice.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The Learning Early About Peanut Allergy (LEAP) trial showed that early dietary introduction of peanut reduced the risk of developing peanut allergy by age 60 months in infants at high risk for peanut allergy. In this secondary analysis of LEAP data, we aimed to determine risk subgroups within these infants and estimate their respective intervention effects of early peanut introduction. METHODS: LEAP raw data were retrieved from ITNTrialShare.org. Conditional random forest was applied to participants in the peanut avoidance arm to select statistically important features for the classification and regression tree (CART) analysis to group infants based on their risk of peanut allergy at 60 months of age. Intervention effects were estimated for each derived risk subgroup using data from both arms. Our main model was generated based on baseline data when the participants were 4-11 months old. Specific IgE measurements were truncated to account for the limit of detection commonly used by laboratories in clinical practice. RESULTS: The model found infants with higher predicted probability of peanut allergy at 60 months of age had a similar relative risk reduction, but a greater absolute risk reduction in peanut allergy with early introduction of peanut, than those with lower probability. The intervention effects were significant across all risk subgroups. Participants with baseline peanut sIgE ≥0.22 kU/L (n = 78) had an absolute risk reduction of 40.4% (95% CI 27.3, 51.9) whereas participants with baseline peanut sIgE<0.22 kU/L and baseline Ara h 2 sIgE <0.10 kU/L (n = 226) had an absolute risk reduction of 6.5% (95% CI 2.6, 11.0). These findings were consistent in sensitivity analyses using alternative models. CONCLUSION: In this study, risk subgroups were determined among infants from the LEAP trial based on the probability of developing peanut allergy and the intervention effects of early peanut introduction were estimated. This may be relevant for further risk assessment and personalized clinical decision-making.

RESUMEN

Parental HIV disclosure, where parents living with HIV (PLH) communicate their diagnosis to their children, is crucial for family communication. This study assessed intervention effects of a parental HIV disclosure intervention on psychosocial factors, focusing on child's age impact. Data from a randomized controlled trial involving 791 PLH in China were analyzed at baseline (W1), 6-month (W2), and 12-month follow-ups (W3). The study measured effects on psychosocial factors (HIV disclosure knowledge, outcome expectancy, action self-efficacy, and action planning) using the proportional latent change score method. Among PLH with children aged 6-9, the intervention yielded significant intervention effects on knowledge (ß = 0.190, p = .004), action self-efficacy (ß = 0.342, p = .001), and action planning (ß = 0.389, p < .001) from W1 to W2. For PLH with children aged 10-12, the intervention significantly enhanced action self-efficacy (ß = 0.162, p = .003) and action planning (ß = 0.367, p = .001) from W1 to W2, but there was a reduction in perceived benefits (ß = -0.175, p = 0.024) from W2 to W3. For PLH with children aged 13-15, significant intervention effects were observed on action planning, both from W1 to W2 (ß = 0.251, p = .045) and from W2 to W3 (ß = 0.321, p < .001). These findings highlight the importance of tailoring interventions to consider psychosocial factors and children's developmental stages to enhance HIV disclosure practices.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to expand the current knowledge on the relationship between poverty, family functioning, and the mental health of adolescent girls in families affected by poverty and HIV/AIDS in southern Uganda. The study investigates the association between family functioning and mental health and examines whether family functioning moderates the intervention effect on adolescent mental health. METHODS: Longitudinal data were collected over the course of 24 months in a cluster randomized controlled trial conducted among N=1,260 girls aged 14-17 years in Uganda. Participants were randomized into control group (n=408 girls from n=16 schools), matched youth development accounts treatment, YDA (n=471 girls from n=16 schools), and integrated intervention combining YDA with multiple family group component (n=381 girls from n=15 schools). RESULTS: We found a significant positive association between family functioning and mental health of adolescent girls in our sample. Moderator analyses suggests that effect of the intervention on Beck Hopelessness Scale was significantly moderated by family cohesion (χ2 (4) =21.43; p = .000), frequency of family communication (χ2 (4) =9.65; p = .047), and quality of child-caregiver relationship (χ2 (4) =11.12; p = .025). Additionally, the intervention effect on depression was moderated by the comfort of family communication (χ2 (4) =10.2; p = .037). DISCUSSION: The study findings highlight the importance of family functioning when examining the link from poverty to adolescent mental health. The study contributes to the scarce evidence suggesting that asset-accumulation opportunities combined with a family strengthening component may improve parenting practices and adolescent mental health in poor households.

RESUMEN

Drinking water is the main cause of iodine excess among Chinese residents and we have found that water iodine concentration (WIC) reduction was the effective intervening measure. In this study, to eliminate the hazards of water-borne excessive iodine, we firstly investigated the WIC of villages in Tianjin in 2017 to determine the distribution range. Secondly, the risk characterization of excessive iodine on residents in 6∼< 9 years old, 9∼< 12 years old, 12∼< 15 years old, 15∼< 18 years old and adults were evaluated, and the safe upper limit of WIC was determined. Finally, WIC was investigated again after the completion of WIC reduction in water-borne excessive-iodine villages in 2020, and the differences in urinary iodine concentration (UIC) and thyroid volume (Tvol) of children aged 8-10 years before and after WIC reduction were analyzed. The WIC of 2459 villages surveyed was 22.30 (8.60-58.80) µg/L and the maximum was 514 µg/L. There were 422 villages with WIC > 100 µg/L. Under the conditions of non-iodized salt intake, recommended amount of iodized salt intake and actual amount intake, the maximum of excessive iodine exposure hazard quotient (HQ) were the highest in the age group of 6∼< 9 years, which were 2.300, 2.663 and 2.771, the safe upper WIC limits were 223 µg/L, 142 µg/L and 118 µg/L and villages with HQ> 1 accounted for 4.14%, 6.09% and 6.88% of all villages, respectively. After the WIC reduction, the WIC of the former water-borne iodine-excess villages decreased to < 100 µg/L, and the UIC and Tvol of children decreased (both P < 0.001) and was within normal range. Determining the distribution range of water-borne iodine-excess areas, exploring appropriate intervening measure, carrying out risk assessment, determining the WIC safe upper limit, intervening and evaluating the intervention effect can be the process to eliminate the hazards of water-borne excessive iodine.

RESUMEN

【Objective】 To explore the relationship between polygenic risk score (PRS) and the sustainability of childhood obesity intervention, in order to provide scientific basis for future sustainable and personalized childhood obesity intervention based on genetic background. 【Methods】 A total of 148 children with overweight/obesity at baseline were selected as study subjects from a cluster randomized controlled trial (September 2018 to April 2021) regarding the effect of a childhood obesity intervention in Beijing, China. Saliva was collected to detect the whole genome sequencing. Four PRSs were built: weighted and unweighted PRS69, weighted and unweighted PRS67. The interactions between PRS and study arms on the sustainability of intervention effect (the changes in obesity-related indicators between the end of the intervention and the last follow-up) were analyzed. 【Results】 There were interactions between PRS and study arms on the rebound degree of waist circumference adjusted for body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI, and systolic blood pressure after the intervention. Compared with the control group, children in the intervention group carried each additional unit (standard deviation) of weighted PRS69, the waist circumference adjusted for BMI rebounded more by 0.34 (95%CI: 0.05 - 0.63, P=0.020), and waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI rebounded more by 0.29 (95%CI: 0.03 - 0.56, P=0.031) at the last follow-up survey. When children in the intervention group carried each additional unit (standard deviation) of weighted PRS67 and unweighted PRS67, systolic blood pressure at the last follow-up survey rebounded more by 3.58 (95%CI:0.50 - 6.66, P=0.023) and 3.75 (95%CI: 0.78 - 6.71, P=0.014), respectively. 【Conclusions】 The higher PRS (the more risk alleles) children with overweight/obesity carried, their waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio and systolic blood pressure are more likely to rebound after the intervention. Findings from this study suggest that future studies should focus more on these high-risk children after the intervention to prevent and control obesity rebound.

RESUMEN

AIM:To investigate the effect of glaucoma knowledge education among community residents and knowledge source, and to provide reference for improving the awareness rate of glaucoma knowledge among residents.METHODS: From July 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023, a total of 752 residents live in two communities of Jinhua city were randomly selected to investigate the source of glaucoma prevention and treatment knowledge. In addition, comprehensive health education intervention lasted for 3 mo, awareness rate of core knowledge of glaucoma was investigated before and after the intervention, and the effect of the intervention was evaluated.RESULTS: The source of glaucoma related knowledge for radio and television was 33.4%; the mobile network was 40.9%; the health education was 21.5%. The overall awareness rate of glaucoma related knowledge before education intervention was 32.7%; the overall awareness rate after intervention was 48.4%, and the comparison before and after intervention was statistically significant(χ2=37.130, P&#x003C;0.001). The awareness rate of 18 questions were statistically significant before and after the intervention(χ2≥13.341, P&#x003C;0.001).CONCLUSION: The awareness rate of glaucoma related knowledge among residents was low, and mobile phone network and radio and television were the main sources of glaucoma related knowledge, so the education intervention was an effective means to improve glaucoma related knowledge.

RESUMEN

ObjectiveTo explore the efficacy and predictive indicators of stellate ganglion block （SGB） as an adjunctive intervention for chronic subjective tinnitus and accumulate experience for the application of SGB in the clinical treatment of tinnitus. MethodsA retrospective review was conducted on the data of chronic subjective tinnitus patients who received SGB intervention， with unsatisfactory outcomes otherwise. Pure tone audiometry （PTA）， tinnitus loudness evaluation and Pittsburgh sleep quality index （PSQI） were used. The tinnitus handicap inventory （THI） scores were compared before and after SGB intervention. Correlation analysis and linear regression equations were employed to identify the potential indicators predicting the effectiveness of SGB intervention. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 24.0 software. ResultsBy April 2023， a total of 107 patients with chronic subjective tinnitus had undergone SGB intervention， including 67 male and 40 female， with a mean age of （45.32±11.40） years old and an average tinnitus history of （20.32±24.64） months ［16 （12~20）］. Only 7 patients （6.54%） quitted the intervention for personal reasons， which demonstrated good compliance with the intervention. No patients experienced adverse reactions such as infection at the injection site， hematoma， nerve injury， local anesthetic intoxication and so on， which revealed good safety. After SGB intervention， THI scores decreased to below 36 points in 77 patients and decrease by 10 points or more in 12 of the remaining patients， with a total effective rate of 89%. A paired sample t-test showed a significant difference in THI scores before and after SGB intervention （t=15.575， P<0.001）， indicating good improvement. Pearson correlation analysis suggested that pre-intervention THI scores and subjective tinnitus loudness were significantly positively correlated with the improvement level of THI scores （P<0.05）. Further stepwise linear regression analysis found that "pre-intervention THI scores" had statistical significance （P<0.001）， with a regression coefficient of 0.308， predicting a 17.4% improvement level in THI scores. ConclusionsDue to its good and safe short-term effects， SGB intervention can be used as a supplementary option for chronic subjective tinnitus when other interventions are not ideal， especially for patients with higher THI scores. However， further research is needed to clarify the long-term efficacy and underlying mechanisms， in order to establish a more solid theoretical basis for SGB intervention in the treatment of subjective tinnitus.

RESUMEN

In this meta-analysis we explored whether Taekwondo practice has improved its participants' physical self-concepts. We also tested the mediating influence of factors in past research such as country, participant age, and measurement properties in their associations with these taekwondo effects. We reviewed extensive data collected from Chinese, English and Korean participants in articles listed in Cnki, Wanfang, PubMed, Web of Science, KISS, RISS, and DBPIA databases. First, we evaluated the methodological quality of these published articles with Review Manager 5.4 software according to the Cochrane System Evaluation Manual. Then, we used Comprehensive Meta-Analysis 3.7 software for statistical analysis. We based these analyses on nine research studies containing a total of 1154 participants. We found a significant association between taekwondo activity and an improved body self-concept (ES = .688, p < .001). Subgroup analyses showed a stronger association between these variables in Korea (ES = .90, p < .001) than in China (ES = .34, p < .001), a stronger association for children (ES = 1.04, p < .001) compared to adults (ES = .46, p < .001), and a stronger association with the modified version of the Physical Self-Description Questionnaire (PSDQ) (ES = .99, p < .001) than with the original PSDQ (ES = .57, p < .001). We concluded that practicing Taekwondo led to improved physical self-concept, especially in a younger population. In addition, the experimental design and measurement methods may influence the apparent link between these variables.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To explore the association between rs2587552 polymorphism (has a strong lin-kage disequilibrium with rs1800497 which had been found in many studies to be related to obesity, r2=0.85) of DRD2 gene and the effect of a childhood obesity intervention in Chinese population, and provide a scientific basis for future personalized childhood obesity intervention based on genetic background. METHODS: From a multi-center cluster randomized controlled trial studying the effect of a childhood obesity intervention, we enrolled 382 children from 8 primary schools (192 and 190 children from intervention and control groups, respectively) in Beijing as study subjects. Saliva was collected and DNA was extracted to detect the rs2587552 polymorphism of DRD2 gene, and the interactions between the gene and study arms on childhood obesity indicators [including body weight, body mass index (BMI), BMI Z-score, waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, waist-to-height ratio, and body fat percentage] were analyzed. RESULTS: No association was found between rs2587552 polymorphism and the changes in hip circumference or body fat percentage in the intervention group (P>0.05). However, in the control group, children carrying the A allele at DRD2 rs2587552 locus showed a greater increase in hip circumference and body fat percentage compared with those not carrying A allele (P < 0.001). There were interactions between rs2587552 polymorphism of DRD2 gene and study arms on the changes in hip circumference and body fat percentage (P=0.007 and 0.015, respectively). Compared with the control group, children in the intervention group carrying the A allele at DRD2 rs2587552 locus showed decrease in hip circumference by (-1.30 cm, 95%CI: -2.25 to -0.35, P=0.007) and decrease in body fat percentage by (-1.34%, 95%CI: -2.42 to -0.27, P=0.015) compared with those not carrying A allele. The results were consistent between the dominant model and the additive model (hip circumfe-rence: -0.66 cm, 95%CI: -1.28 to -0.03, P=0.041; body fat percentage: -0.69%, 95%CI: -1.40 to 0.02, P=0.056). No interaction was found between rs2587552 polymorphism and study arms on the changes in other childhood obesity-related indicators (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Children carrying the A allele at rs2587552 polymorphism of DRD2 gene are more sensitive to intervention and showed more improvement in hip circumference and body fat percentage after the intervention, suggesting that future personalized childhood obesity lifestyle intervention can be carried out based on the rs2587552 polymorphism of DRD2 gene.

RESUMEN

The simulation study investigated the relationship between the local linear trend model's data-comparison accuracy, baseline-data variability, and changes in level and slope after introducing the N-of-1 intervention. Contour maps were constructed, which included baseline-data variability, change in level or slope, and percentage of non-overlapping data between the state and forecast values by the local linear trend model. Simulation results showed that baseline-data variability and changes in level and slope after intervention affect the data-comparison accuracy based on the local linear trend model. The field study investigated the intervention effects for actual field data using the local linear trend model, which confirmed 100% effectiveness of previous N-of-1 studies. These results imply that baseline-data variability affects the data-comparison accuracy using a local linear trend model, which could accurately predict the intervention effects. The local linear trend model may help assess the intervention effects of effective personalized interventions in precision rehabilitation.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To observe the intervention effect of damage control orthopaedic(DCO) strategy on fat embolism syndrome(FES) associated with long shaft fracture of lower limbs. METHODS: Retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of 163 patients with FES associated with lower limb long shaft fractures admitted from January 2015 to May 2021. They were divided into two groups based on the time point of implementing DCO strategy in January 2018. Total of 92 patients were admitted from January 2015 to December 2017 as the control group, and other 71 patients were admitted from January 2018 to May 2021 as the intervention group. The hospital mortality, arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and oxygenation index (OI), hemoglobin (Hb), platelet count(PLT), Harris score of hip joint, HSS score of knee joint, AOFAS score of ankle joint, clinical efficacy and complications were observed and compared between two groups. RESULTS: Total of 163 patients were followed up for 12 to 18 months with an average of (16.91±1.22) months. The in-hospital mortality rate in the intervention group was 2.82% (2/71), and that in the control group was 16.30% (15/92), the difference between two groups was statistically significant(χ2=6.455, P<0.05). After the intervention, SaO2, PaO2 and OI in two groups were higher than those before the intervention(P<0.05), and after the intervention, SaO2, PaO2 and OI in two groups were statistically significant(P<0.05). Hb and PLT in two groups after intervention were higher than those before intervention (P<0.001), and there was statistically significant difference in Hb and PLT between two groups after intervention (P<0.05). The Harris score of hip joint, HSS score of knee joint and AOFAS score of ankle joint in both groups after 3 months of treatment were better than those before treatment (P<0.05). The total clinical effective rate of the intervention group was higher than that of the control group(χ2=4.194, P<0.05). The total incidence of complications in the intervention group was lower than that in the control group(χ2=4.747, P<0.05). CONCLUSION: DCO strategy is helpful to reduce the in-hospital mortality of patients with FES associated with long shaft fracture of lower extremities, eliminate FES symptoms and stabilize vital signs, gain time advantage for phase Ⅱ definitive surgery, and has significant clinical intervention effect, which is worth popularizing.

RESUMEN

Meta-analysis using individual participant data (IPD) is an important methodology in intervention research because it (a) increases accuracy and precision of estimates, (b) allows researchers to investigate mediators and moderators of treatment effects, and (c) makes use of extant data. IPD meta-analysis can be conducted either via a one-step approach that uses data from all studies simultaneously, or a two-step approach, which aggregates data for each study and then combines them in a traditional meta-analysis model. Unfortunately, there are no evidence-based guidelines for how best to approach IPD meta-analysis for count outcomes with many zeroes, such as alcohol use. We used simulation to compare the performance of four hurdle models (3 one-step and 1 two-step models) for zero-inflated count IPD, under realistic data conditions. Overall, all models yielded adequate coverage and bias for the treatment effect in the count portion of the model, across all data conditions. However, in the zero portion, the treatment effect was underestimated in most models and data conditions, especially when there were fewer studies. The performance of both one- and two-step approaches depended on the formulation of the treatment effects, suggesting a need to carefully consider model assumptions and specifications when using IPD.

RESUMEN

Objective: To quantify the effect of taekwondo as an intervention on the indicators of metabolic syndrome and identify an intervention plan with the optimal effects. Methods: Combining the Cnki.net, Wanfang, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, KISS, RISS, and DBPIA databases, this paper retrieved relevant references in Chinese, English, and Korean, applied Review Manager 5.4 software to evaluate the methodological quality of the included references according to the Cochrane manual, and utilized Comprehensive Meta-Analysis version 3.7 to perform statistical analyses. Result: A total of 45 references and 1079 related subjects were included in the analysis. The results of the meta-analysis showed that taekwondo has a beneficial effect on all indicators of metabolic syndrome (Hedges' g [effect size] = -0.615, -0.672, -0.497, -0.785, -0.591, and 0.435; p < 0.05). Subgroup analysis revealed the superior intervention effect of taekwondo on metabolic syndrome in women compared to men, middle-aged and elderly compared to other age groups, and abnormal metabolic syndrome indicators compared to normal values. Moreover, the best results were obtained for longer intervention durations-12 weeks-three times per week, for 40-50 min per session. In addition, the combination of intervention types (poomsae, kick, and taekwondo gymnastics) showed optimal effects. The exercise intensity should consider the characteristics of the intervention object and be generally set to medium or high intensity. Conclusion: Taekwondo can effectively improve metabolic syndrome, as evidenced by decreased body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), fasting blood glucose (FBG), and triglyceride (TG) levels and increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level. Taekwondo had the greatest effect on quinquagenarian women with abnormal levels of metabolic syndrome indicators. To maximize the intervention effect of taekwondo on metabolic syndrome, an exercise prescription of high-intensity poomsae, kick, and taekwondo gymnastics performed in 40-50 min sessions, three times weekly for 12 weeks is recommended.

The total incidence of complications in the intervention group was lower than that in the control group(χ2=4.747, P<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#DCO strategy is helpful to reduce the in-hospital mortality of patients with FES associated with long shaft fracture of lower extremities, eliminate FES symptoms and stabilize vital signs, gain time advantage for phase Ⅱ definitive surgery, and has significant clinical intervention effect, which is worth popularizing.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the association between rs2587552 polymorphism (has a strong lin-kage disequilibrium with rs1800497 which had been found in many studies to be related to obesity, r2=0.85) of DRD2 gene and the effect of a childhood obesity intervention in Chinese population, and provide a scientific basis for future personalized childhood obesity intervention based on genetic background.@*METHODS@#From a multi-center cluster randomized controlled trial studying the effect of a childhood obesity intervention, we enrolled 382 children from 8 primary schools (192 and 190 children from intervention and control groups, respectively) in Beijing as study subjects. Saliva was collected and DNA was extracted to detect the rs2587552 polymorphism of DRD2 gene, and the interactions between the gene and study arms on childhood obesity indicators [including body weight, body mass index (BMI), BMI Z-score, waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, waist-to-height ratio, and body fat percentage] were analyzed.@*RESULTS@#No association was found between rs2587552 polymorphism and the changes in hip circumference or body fat percentage in the intervention group (P>0.05). However, in the control group, children carrying the A allele at DRD2 rs2587552 locus showed a greater increase in hip circumference and body fat percentage compared with those not carrying A allele (P < 0.001). There were interactions between rs2587552 polymorphism of DRD2 gene and study arms on the changes in hip circumference and body fat percentage (P=0.007 and 0.015, respectively). Compared with the control group, children in the intervention group carrying the A allele at DRD2 rs2587552 locus showed decrease in hip circumference by (-1.30 cm, 95%CI: -2.25 to -0.35, P=0.007) and decrease in body fat percentage by (-1.34%, 95%CI: -2.42 to -0.27, P=0.015) compared with those not carrying A allele. The results were consistent between the dominant model and the additive model (hip circumfe-rence: -0.66 cm, 95%CI: -1.28 to -0.03, P=0.041; body fat percentage: -0.69%, 95%CI: -1.40 to 0.02, P=0.056). No interaction was found between rs2587552 polymorphism and study arms on the changes in other childhood obesity-related indicators (P>0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Children carrying the A allele at rs2587552 polymorphism of DRD2 gene are more sensitive to intervention and showed more improvement in hip circumference and body fat percentage after the intervention, suggesting that future personalized childhood obesity lifestyle intervention can be carried out based on the rs2587552 polymorphism of DRD2 gene.
