Abstract
Objective: To analyze the de novo point mutations in known genes among patients with unexplained intellectual disability (ID) or developmental retardation (DD). Methods: A total of 120 outpatients with ID or DD were recruited in the Department of Neurology, Affiliated Children's Hospital of Capital Institute of Pediatrics between September 2015 and April 2017. Target gene sequencing was used to screen the candidate gene. The sequencing data were analyzed by a variety of bioinformatics software. Combining with the phenotypes of the patients, the candidate genetic/genomic variants were identified from next-generation sequencing data. The final pathogenicity of the genetic/genomic variants were interpreted according to the guideline of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) for variants after segregation analysis in the parents and necessary family members by Sanger sequencing. The comprehensive physiological function and signaling pathways of 20 disease genes with de novo point mutation discovery was also studied. Results: Among the 120 patients, 23 patients were found to carry clear pathological changes, and the incidence of de novo point variation was 19.2%. The patients included 12 males and 11 females, with an age of 2 months to 6-year-6-month. Five patients were diagnosed with early onset of epileptic encephalopathy. Seven had mental retardation type 5, 6, 8, 19, 20, 22, 39, respectively. Weill-Marchesani syndrome type 2 was found in one case, Wiedemann-Steiner syndrome in one case, Coffin-Siris syndrome in two cases, Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome in one case, GLUT1 deficiency syndrome in one case, Rett syndrome in one case, cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome 3 in one case, neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation in one case, corpus callosum local dysplasia in one case, and congenital fibrosis of the extra-ocular muscles in one case. A total of 20 novel mutations were reported in this study. No somatic mutation was found in the samples of 6 patients with mutation and their parents' peripheral blood DNA samples by amplicon-based deep sequencing. This study found that the main disease genes were involved in chromatin remodeling, transcriptional regulation, autophagy body assembly, MAPK signal pathway, DNA methylation, potassium, sodium ion transport, cell skeleton assembly and skeletal muscle development. These genes were significantly enriched in the following biological processes: Ras signaling pathways, transcription factor binding and cancer related signaling pathway. Conclusions: The etiology of children affected with intellectual disability or developmental delay is complex. Harmful de novo point mutation plays an important role in these diseases. Targeted exome/genome sequencing based on the core family is helpful for the molecular diagnosis of patients and the discovery of more genes.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics of hereditary coagulation factor Ⅴ deficiency (FⅤD) and to improve the diagnosis and treatment ability of hereditary FⅤD. Methods: A total of 17 patients with hereditary FⅤD admitted to the Department of Hematology, Peking University People's Hospital from February 2013 to January 2018 were selected, and their clinical characteristics, laboratory examination, treatment and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed. Results: There were 9 males and 8 females patients with FⅤD, the median age was 36 (1-72 ) years. The median age of men was 39 (1-72)years, and the median age of women was 33 (8-56)years. There was no significant difference between them (P=0.793). The median prothrombin time(PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT) values were 21.0(13.0-39.6) s and 54.6(38.2-121.2) s, and the median level of plasma FⅤ was 8.2% (0.9%-39%). Thirteen cases (13/17) were mild, 3 cases (3/17) were moderate, and only 1 case (1/17) was severe according to the FⅤ level. Five cases (5/17) had bleeding, including 3 cases with skin ecchymosis, 1 case with vaginal bleeding, and 1 case with gastrointestinal bleeding. According to the severity of bleeding, 1 case (1/17) had severe bleeding, and the other 4 cases (4/17) were mild bleeding. Conclusions: Patients with hereditary FⅤD either have or do not have bleeding symptoms, with prolonged PT and APTT and decreased plasma of FⅤ activity. There is no need for treatment for those without bleeding symptoms. Fresh frozen plasma is the first choice for patients who have bleeding, and the overall prognosis is good.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death worldwide, requiring the development of new therapeutic strategies including stem cell therapy. Pentraxins (PTXs) are a superfamily of proteins highly involved in different myocardial disorders, and thus this study aimed to identify the modulation of long pentraxin 3 (PTX3) in the differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) toward cardiomyocytes. Cell toxicity of PTX3 was detected by MTT and LDH assays in mESCs. Embryoid bodies (EBs) were differentiated using hanging drop method, and the beating was observed under microscope. Expressional levels of early cardiac progenitor marker genes were assessed by qRT-PCR. Expression of marker proteins in early myocardial development and the activation of JNK signaling pathway was evaluated by Western blot. PTX3 treatment at 50 ng/mL significantly promoted the expression of cardiac-specific marker genes including Nkx2.5, Mef2c, Tbx5, dHand, and αMHC, and increased the expression of cardiac maturity indicative markers including connexin 43 and troponin C1. PTX3 enhanced the phosphorylation of JNK across the incubation duration, whereas the activation of p38 remained the same as control group. Co-treatment of JNK signaling pathway inhibitor SP600125 impaired the PTX3-promoted transcription of Nkx2.5, Mef2c, Tbx5, dHand, and αMHC. This study revealed the promotion of PTX3 in the differentiation of mESCs into cardiomyocytes and the underlying mechanism.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the incidence and severity of hepatic adverse events (AEs) and identify factors associated with hepatic AEs in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in chronic phase (CP) treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Methods: Liver biochemistry parameters [including ALT(alanine aminotransferase), AST(aspartate aminotransferase), ALP(alkaline phosphatase), and TBil(total bilirubin)] during the first 6 months on imatinib (Gleevec(®)), dasatinib (Sprycel(®)) or nilotinib (Tasigna(®)) in CML-CP patients were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Results: A total of 436 patients were enrolled in this study, including 271 with imatinib, 58 with dasatinib, and 107 with nilotinib. The incidences of any abnormality of liver injury were 21.8%(59/271), 15.5%(9/58) and 32.7%(35/107) in the imatinib, dasatinib and nilotinib groups, respectively. Most of the hepatic AEs were CTCAE grade 1 or 2 and mild or moderate liver injury except 1.9% of TBil CTCAE grade 3 in the nilotinib group. Multivariate analyses showed nilotinib [OR=2.9(1.3-6.6), P=0.012; OR=4.4(1.2-15.6), P=0.023] and male gender [OR=2.3(1.4-3.9), P=0.002; OR=3.0(1.2-7.6), P=0.018] were significantly associated with moderate liver impairment. Conclusions: TKIs including imatinib, dasatinib and nilotinib were well tolerated with mild to moderate hepatic AEs in CML-CP patients. Nilotinib and male sex were associated with occurrence of liver biochemistry abnormalities and moderate hepatic injury.

Abstract
To explore the association between clock circadian regulator circadian locomotor output cycles kaput gene (CLOCK) and the forming of atherosclerotic plaques and its underlying mechanisms, mouse aortic endothelial cells (MAECs) and atherosclerosis (AS) mouse model were recruited for our study. The apoE gene knockout mouse was used as the model of AS and we accelerated the formation of unstable plaques through the combination of carotid artery ligation and high-fat (HF) diet administration (0.2% cholesterol, 20% fat). The mRNA and protein expressions of CLOCK in peripheral blood monouclear cells of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients or mouse AS model were detected by qPCR, western blot analysis and immunohistochemical staining. The number of adherent cells and atherosclerotic plaques was counted to assess the effects of CLOCK on the progression of ACS, and adherence-associated genes, such as vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1, C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL-2), and CCL-5. The results showed that CLOCK expression was significantly increased in both ACS patients and AS mouse model. The levels of CLOCK, leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), perilipin 2 (ADFP), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), as well as the number of atherosclerotic plaques were elevated in the AS mouse model, as compared with the control group. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay showed that CLOCK bound directly to the promoter of PAI-1 gene and CLOCK could positively regulate the expressions of LIF, ICAM-1, ADFP, NF-κB, and PAI-1. Reduction of CLOCK expression would decrease the expressions of VCAM-1, CCL-2, and CCL-5, and the number of adherent cells and atherosclerotic plaques, but these effects were neutralized when PAI-1 was simultaneously overexpressed in either mouse model or MAECs. Our results demonstrate that CLOCK overexpression triggers the formation of atherosclerotic plaques by directly upregulating PAI-1 expression.

Abstract
Objectives: To explore the comorbidity profile and its impact on reported outcome of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP) receiving tyrosine kinase-inhibitor (TKI) therapy in China. Methods: From September 2015 to March 2016, anonymous questionnaires were distributed to adult CML patients who were receiving TKI treatment in China. The questionnaires included demographics, comorbidity(ies), TKI(s) therapy, annual out-of-pocket expense for TKIs, treatment responses, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) measured by the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), satisfaction with therapy, impact of TKI therapy on work and daily life. Results: Data from 1 108 respondents in CML-CP were analyzed, 701 (63.6%) were male, median age was 42 years (range, 18-88 years), 76.4% were currently on imatinib, median TKI-therapy-duration was 29 months (range, 3-178 months). Of them, 300 (27.1%) had ≥1 comorbidity(ies), including hypertension(30.3%), diabetes (21.0%), coronary heart disease (12.3%), gastro-intestinal disease (12.3%), liver disease (11.7%), kidney disease (8.3%), cerebrovascular disease (6.7%) and lung diseases (5.7%), thrombosis (1.3%), other benign diseases (15.3%) and other cancer (8.0%), and 74 (24.7%) had ≥2 comorbidities. Multivariate analyses showed the comorbidity profile of other benign diseases was significantly associated with lower HRQoL score and TKI therapy affecting work and daily life, but it did not significantly affect patients' satisfaction with TKI treatment. Female and no complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) were associated with lower HRQoL score, education level ≥bachelor degree and TKI-therapy duration ≥3 years were associated with higher HRQoL score. Switching between first and second generation TKIs and no CCyR were associated with dis-satisfaction or extreme dis-satisfaction with TKI therapy, free out-of-pocket expense for TKI was associated with better satisfaction. Age<60 years and no CCyR were associated with TKI therapy affecting work and daily life. Conclusions: The survey showed that 27.1% Chinese adult patients with CML-CP receiving TKI-therapy had comorbidity(ies). Different comorbidity profile had different impact on patients' HRQoL and different impact of TKI therapy on work and daily life.

Abstract
An unusual presentation of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), unlikely to be encountered in an outpatient dermatology setting, was diagnosed in a patient without an immunodeficiency. A 47-year-old woman, who was immunocompetent and had no risk factors, presented with a full-thickness, infected wound (large amounts of purulent exudate and severe pain) on her back, which had been present for two months. She was diagnosed as having an MAC infection, using a DNA microarray chip method. The patient underwent wound drainage and a fresh silver-containing dressing was applied daily for two months. Although systemic antibiotics were given for one week and anti-tuberculous medication for one month, there was no response. She also complained of bloating, nausea, loss of appetite and other problems, apparently due to drug-induced liver damage, confirmed by laboratory tests. Based on her characteristics and a literature review related to MAC infection, we implemented an individualised, holistic care protocol for the patient that included a daily diet of appropriate fresh vegetables and fruits, and adequate high-quality protein, aerobic exercises for two hours per day, and sleep for 6-8 hours per day, to alleviate the iatrogenic liver damage, improve immune function and reduce the stress response. The wound continued treatment with sharp debridement as needed, and fresh antimicrobial silver-containing dressings every other day. Wound size was measured once a week to evaluate the effects. The wound healed after 48 days, and the patient was followed-up for 18 months at the outpatient wound care centre and through social media. No recurrence or scar hyperplasia was observed.

Abstract
Objective: To explore outcomes in adult with de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) received IA10 (10 mg/m(2) d1-3 idarubicin plus cytarabine 100 mg/m(2) d1-7) regimen as induction chemotherapy. Methods: From January 2008 to February 2016, data of consecutive newly-diagnosed AML (non-M(3)) adults treated with IA10 who achieved morphologic leukemia-free state (MLFS) but not accepted allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) were assessed retrospectively. Results: A total of 198 patients were included in this study with 96 (48.5%) male and a median age of 42 years old (range, 18-62 years old). Using the SWOG cytogenetic classification, 45 (22.7%), 104 (52.5%), 24 (12.1%) and 25 (12.6%) patients belonged to favorable, intermediate, unfavorable and unknown categories, respectively. 6 (3.0%) patients had monosomal karyotype, and 28 (14.1%) positive FLT3-ITD mutation. A complete remission (CR, defined as MLFS with ANC ≥ 1×10(9)/L and PLT ≥ 100×10(9)/L) achieved in 168 (84.8%) patients, a CRp (defined as MLFS with incomplete PLT recovery) in 16 (8.1%) and a CRi (defined as MLFS with incomplete ANC and PLT recovery) in 14 (7.1%). With a median follow-up period of 15 months (range, 1 to 70 months) in survivors, the probabilities of cumulative incident of relapse (CIR), disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) rates at 2-year were 45.2%, 46.9% and 62.9%, respectively; the median durations of relapse, DFS and OS were 34, 20 and 37 months respectively. At the time of achieving first MLFS, multivariate analyses showed that positive FLT3-ITD mutation and CRi were common adverse factors affecting CIR, DFS and OS; unfavorable-risk of SWOG criteria was an adverse factor affecting CIR and DFS; monosomal karyotype was associated with shorter OS. After first consolidation therapy, FLT3-ITD mutation positive and unfavorable-risk of SWOG criteria had negatively impact on CIR, DFS and OS; peripheral blasts ≥ 0.50 and positive MRD (defined as RQ-PCR WT1 mRNA ≥ 0.6% or any level of abnormal blast population detected by flow cytometry) after first consolidation therapy were common adverse factors affecting CIR and DFS; CRi was an adverse factor affecting DFS and OS. Conclusions: In adult with de novo AML received IA10 regimen as induction regimen, unfavorable molecular markers or cytogenetics at diagnosis and CRi independently predicted poor outcome. In addition, a higher percentage of peripheral blasts, monosomal karyotype and positive MRD after first consolidation therapy had negatively impact on outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical biological characteristics of EVI1 positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and its effect on early chemotherapy. METHODS The clinical and biological cha-racteristics of 33 AML patients with EVI1 positive were retrospectively analyzed in 361 AML patients who were diagnosed and treated in our institute from March 2015 to July 2016, and the clinical and biological features, and rates of the induced remission were compared between the intermediate risk and poor risk with EVI1 positive AML, moreover, the influential factors on complete remission (CR) were analyzed. The expression of EVI1/ABL was tested in 32 healthy donors to confirm the abnormal threshold of EVI1 expression. RESULTS The definition of EVI1 positive was that the quantitative expression of EVI1/ABL was more than 8.0%. The 33 AML patients with EVI1 positive were found in 361 newly diagnosed AML patients, in which the female and male patients were 17 and 16 respectively, the median age was 45 (18-67) years, with a median follow-up of 6.6 (0.7-13.2) months. Intermediate karyotype was found in 17 patients(including 9 patients with normal karyotypes,1 patient with +8);unfavorable karyotype was found in 14 patients [including 7 patients with -7/7q-,4 patients with t (v;11q23),3 patients with inv(3)/t(3;3), and 2 patients without mitotic figures]. The rate of CR in the first induction chemotherapy was 42.4%, and the rate of total CR was 60.6%. According to the NCCN, 16 intermediate risk patients and poor risk patients were divided, without favorable risk patients. The rate of CR in the first induction chemotherapy were 68.8% and 17.6% (P=0.005) in the intermediate risk and poor risk respectively, that of total CR were 81.3% and 41.2%(P=0.032), and the rates of relapse were 7.7% and 14.3%.Univariable analysis revealed that unfavorable karyotype could affect the rate of CR in the first reduction chemotherapy and that of total CR (P=0.004, 0.029). The poor risk patients had higher mortality (41.2% vs. 6.3%, P=0.039) and lower overall survival (OS)(P=0.012). CONCLUSION EVI1 may be not an independent prognostic factor for the AML patients considering the appea-rance in the intermediate and poor risk patients. It predicts poor outcome in the EVI1 positive AML patients who have unfavorable karyocytes, such as -7/7q-, t(v;11q23), and inv(3)/t(3;3), and also a low rate of both CR in the first induction chemotherapy and total CR. It also has a low rate of long-term survival and high mortality in the AML patients with EVI1 positive, who may benefit from allogeneic bone marrow transplantation as soon as possible.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the cytogenetic response detected by conventional banding analysis (CBA) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and to explore the correlation between the cytogenetic and molecular response in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients during tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment. Methods: CBA, FISH and real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RQ-PCR) methods were performed to detect the cytogenetic and molecular response simultaneously in 504 bone marrow samples from 367 CML patients who received TKI treatment. Results: Among 504 samples, 344 were detected to reach complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) by CBA, while 297 samples reached CCyR by FISH which were considered to carry BCR-ABL positive cells<1%. When the results of CBA, FISH and RQ-PCR were compared in 493 samples at the same time, it showed that in 337 samples with CBA-CCyR, 273 (81.0%) reached FISH-CCyR and 289 (85.8%) were BCR-ABL(IS) (International Scale, IS) ≤1% by RQ-PCR, compared to 9.0 (261/290) were BCR-ABL(IS) ≤1% among 290 samples with FISH-CCyR. There was no significant difference in the median value of BCR-ABL(IS) between samples in CBA-CCyR and FISH-CCyR (0.21% vs 0.13%, z=-1.875, P=0.061) . Furthermore, when the samples were divided into three groups according to BCR-ABL positive cells (0,>0~<1%, 1%~5%) by FISH, the statistical difference was observed, the proportion of samples with BCR-ABL(IS) ≤1% in the three groups were 94.1%, 57.6% and 27.7% respectively (χ(2)=43.499, P<0.001; χ(2)=9.734, P=0.003) , while the median value of BCR-ABL(IS) were 0.10%, 0.64% and 1.80% respectively (z=-5.864, P<0.001; z=-4.787, P<0.001) . Conclusion: FISH results were in good concordance with CBA in identify samples in CCyR, FISH was more sensitive and had better correlation with RQ-PCR results than CBA, but how to define FISH-CCyR need further study.

Abstract
Developing efficient catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) to reduce cathode Pt loading without sacrificing the performance has been under intensive research. Herein, by using density functional theory calculations, the activity and stability of a Pt monolayer supported on Pd3Al(111) as the ORR catalyst have been systematically studied. The simulations demonstrate that due to alloying, the ORR intermediates bind weakly on Pt/Pd3Al(111) with optimal adsorption energy of O and OH. By considering the elemental ORR steps, the ORR mechanism is predicted to be an OOH dissociation mechanism. The rate determining step is OOH dissociation with a reaction barrier of 0.37 eV, lower than the corresponding value on Pt/Pt3Al(111) and Pt(111), indicating the superior activity of Pt/Pd3Al(111). Even considering the unfeasible H adsorption under high potential, the ORR mechanism on Pt/Pd3Al(111) would proceed via O2 hydration, OOH hydration, H2O formation, and H2O desorption, indicating a good ORR electrocatalyst. Furthermore, stability was evaluated by calculating the alloy formation energy and the electrochemical potential shift of surface Pt dissolution. The exceptionally negative alloy formation energy of Pd3Al and the positive dissolution potential shift of the surface Pt atoms show the enhanced durability of Pt/Pd3Al(111). The improved activity, in combination with its enhanced stability, makes the novel ternary alloy electrocatalyst very promising for development of new cathode catalysts for fuel cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The present meta-analysis was designed to improve statistical power and review the effects of monoclonal antibodies against PCSK9 on clinical cardiovascular events. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched from inception to May 2017. Studies considered to be eligible were randomized controlled trials about the effects of monoclonal antibodies against PCSK9 on clinical cardiovascular events. The primary endpoint was positively adjudicated cardiovascular events; the secondary endpoint comprised cardiac mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), coronary revascularization, stroke, and hospitalization for unstable angina. RESULTS We included 20 randomized controlled trials involving 67,934 patients. Monoclonal antibodies against PCSK9 were associated with a significant reduction in positively adjudicated cardiovascular events (relative risk [RR] = 0.87; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.81-0.93; z = 4.03; p = 0.000), MI (RR = 0.78; 95% CI = 0.71-0.86; z = 4.96; p = 0.000), coronary revascularization (RR = 0.81, 95% CI = 0.75-0.88; z = 4.93; p = 0.000), and stroke (RR = 0.76, 95% CI = 0.65-0.89; z = 3.47; p = 0.001). Monoclonal antibodies against PCSK9 did not reduce hospitalization rates due to unstable angina. The results of subgroup analysis showed that evolocumab was associated with a lower risk of positively adjudicated cardiovascular events, MI, coronary revascularization, and stroke without reducing cardiac mortality. Alirocumab reduced the incidence of cardiac mortality but not of other cardiovascular events, while bococizumab was associated with a reduced risk of stroke. CONCLUSION Monoclonal antibodies against PCSK9 were associated with a lower risk of positively adjudicated cardiovascular events, MI, coronary revascularization, and stroke.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical and genetic features of 15 cases with intellectual disability or developmental delay (ID/DD) complicated with congenital nystagmus. Method: The clinical characteristics and the results of laboratory tests, images and genetics of 15 patients with ID/DD complicated with congenital nystagmus, confirmed by gene diagnosis in the Department of Neurology, Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics from March 2015 to October 2016, were retrospectively analyzed. The physiological function of 13 disease genes and the molecular signaling pathways were also comparatively studied. Result: The patients included 11 males and four females, with an age of 2 months-15 years (median age 27 months). The result of multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification was positive in two patients only with hypomyelination on head MRI. Positive results were found in 13 patients with or without abnormal head MRI or other deformities using targeted capture technology and next generation sequencing. Two patients were diagnosed with Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease, two had hypomyelination with an atrophy of the basal ganglia and cerebellum and two had oculocutaneous albinism. Pelizaeus-Merzbacher-like disease was found in one case, cerebro-oculo-facio-skeletal syndrome in one case, Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome in one case, mental retardation type 5 in one case, methylmalonic aciduria combined with hyperhomocysteinemia in 1 case, ataxia telangiectasia in one case, hypomyelinating leukodystrophy type 8 in one case, Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome in one case and CHARGE syndrome in one case. A total of 12 novo mutations were reported in this study. Conclusion: The causes of children with ID/DD complicated with congenital nystagmusis are complex. Comprehensive clinical and auxiliary examinations should be performed to improve the accuracy of the diagnosis. Reasonable application of different genetic testing methods can significantly improve the diagnostic accuracy of molecular genetic etiology in children with ID/DD.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the prevalence and trend of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents aged 6-17 years between 2002 and 2012 in Guangdong province. Methods: A total of 7 075 children and adolescents aged 6-17 years were selected in Guangdong for nutritional survey in 2002 and a total of 2 319 children and adolescents aged 6-17 years were selected in nine counties/districts of Guangdong for nutritional survey during 2009-2012 through multi-stage random cluster sampling. The body height and weight of all the children and adolescents were measured. Results: The result of 2009-2012 survey indicated the average prevalence of overweight and obesity in the children and adolescents surveyed were 7.3% and 4.5%, respectively. The prevalence of overweight and obesity were higher in boys (8.9% and 6.5%) than in girls (5.3% and 2.2%), in rural area (9.3% and 5.6%) than in urban area (4.7% and 3.2%). Children and adolescents aged 9-11 years had a higher overweight and obesity rates compared with other age groups. Compared with 2002, except for obesity rate in urban girls, the prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents obviously increased. The increase rate was higher in rural area than urban area and in boys than in girls. Conclusions: Compared with 2002, the prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents in Guangdong obviously increased. The prevalence was much higher in boys, those living in rural area and those aged 9-11 years, thus more attention should be paid to them.
