It mostly affects adults at the average age of 60 years.These polyps are able to cause abdominal pain,gastrointestinal bleeding,intestinal obstruction or intussusception.In this paper we report a case of gastric TIP with unusual presenting features. METHODS:A child with gastric IFP was described and the literature was reviewed, RESULTS:A 4-year-old girl presented with fever for 2 months,arthralgia of knees and ankles,iron defidency anemia, and hypoalbuminemia.Her stool examination was positive for occult blood.The upper gastrointestinal study demonstrated a large Iobulated mass at the upper part of gastric body.Partial gastrectomy en blocwith this 5 cm×8 cm mass was subsequently performed.Pathological examination was consistent with IFP.Following the mass excision,her fever abruptly declined and disappeared together with anemia and arthralgia.She remained asymptomatic and the abdominal ultrasonography performed at the 24-month follow-up demonstrated no recurrence of the tumor. CONCLUSION:The etiopathogenesis of IFP still remains unclear,The presence of IFP throughout the gastrointestinal tract and its variable clinical appearances make it difficult to diagnose,The inflammatory symptoms found in this patient support the hypothesis of inflammatory benign lesions of IFP.展开更多

The results showed that in the treatment group, 534 cases were markedly effective, 241 effective, 96 improved, 46 ineffective, and 13 aggravated, with a total effective rate of 83.33%; while in the control group, 64 cases were markedly effective, 19 effective, 38 improved, 29 ineffective, and 10 aggravated, with a total effective rate of 51.88%. The treatment group showed an obviously higher total effective rate than that in the control group (P<0.01). After treatment, cases in the two groups all had lower frequency of epilepsy attacks and shorter duration of each attack as compared with that before treatment (P<0.01), but the situation was obviously better in the treatment group. The anti-epilepsy capsules had very good effect on various types of epilepsy, especially on autonomic epilepsy and on epilepsies due to wind, phlegm, or terror as differentiated in TCM. After treatment, the recovery rate shown by EEG examination was 54.3% in the treatment group, while 38.4% in the control group, the former being obviously higher than the latter (P<0.01).展开更多

However, whether the parent-child activities and using digital devices were serial mediators of the relationship between children’s health and social development needs further verification. Purpose: This study explored how parent-child activities and children’s use of digital devices influence the relationship between children’s health and their social competence. Method: This study used data from Kids in Taiwan: National Longitudinal Study of Child Development and Care. A total sample of 2164 participants was used in this study. Serial mediation analyses were performed using model six of Hayes’ PROCESS (2012). Results: This study found that parent-child activities and the use of digital devices can serially mediate the relationship between children’s health and social competence. Children’s health could directly improve their social competence, but it could also serially mediate social competence by increasing parent-child activities and reducing the use of digital devices. Conclusion: Childcare policy planners and parenting educators should not only call on parents to reduce the use of electronic products for their children, but also encourage parents to spend more time interacting with their children, so that children can learn social skills by interacting with others in their daily lives.展开更多
