简介：AbstractPurpose:Given the increased risk of accidents in patients with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or maternal anxiety/depression, we aimed to investigate the frequency of the two diseases in children with penetrating eye injury (PEI).Methods:Altogether 79 children, 39 with PEIs and 40 healthy individuals (control group), aged 5-15 years, underwent a complete ophthalmologic examination. Afterwards, schedule for affective disorders and schizophrenia for school-aged children was conducted to assess the psychiatric diagnosis of all children. Turgay diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (DSM-IV)-based child and adolescent behavior disorders screening and rating scale (T-DSM-IV-S) was filled by parents to evaluate the severity of ADHD symptoms. The depression and anxiety levels of mothers of each group were evaluated by two self-report measures: the Beck depression scale and the state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI), respectively. Data were analyzed by IBM SPSS version 22.0. The Chi-square and Fisher's exact test were used to determine whether there is a significant difference between qualitative variables while independent sample t and Mann-Whitney U tests to compare quantitative variables.Results:The only diagnostic difference was a significantly higher frequency of ADHD among patients with PEIs (48.7% in PEI vs. 17.5% in control group, χ2 = 7.359, p = 0.007). The total scores of the T-DSM-IVS (attention subscale U = 418.000, p = 0.006; hyperactivity subscale U = 472.000, p = 0.022) and maternal state-trait anxiety inventory (maternal STAI-state U = 243.000, p = 0.003; maternal STAI-trait U = 298.000, p = 0.021) were significantly higher in the PEI group than in control group. In logistic regression, children with PEI had a tendency to have a 3.5-fold increased risk for ADHD (OR = 3.538, CI = 0.960-13.039, p = 0.058).Conclusion:ADHD was detected almost 1 in 2 children with PEIs. Besides, the maternal anxiety level was significantly higher in the PEI group than in the control group. This association should be further explored via a future prospective longitudinal study. Since a proper treatment of ADHD in children and anxiety treatment in mothers may prevent vision loss following PEIs in children.

简介：有不同干旱忍耐的二米饭遗传型，也就是Jin23B(干旱容忍)并且Zhenshan97B(干旱敏感)，被用来在小穗状花小穗学习抗氧化剂酶活动，可溶的糖和淀粉内容，在在flowering的水赤字应力下面的耻辱上的雌蕊水潜力和花粉数字上演绝育，它涉及小穗状花小穗。与各自的控制相比，干旱应力导致了superoxidedismutase(草皮)的更严肃的减少，peroxidase(邮政部门)和活动和malonaldehyde(MDA)的更重要的增加在水应力(穴乌)以后在9和12天比在Jin23B在Zhenshan97B的spikekets满足的过氧化氢酶(猫)。可溶的糖和淀粉内容在Jin23B的小穗状花小穗显著地增加了，但是在9-12穴乌期间在Zhenshan97B的小穗状花小穗显著地减少了。雌蕊在3-6穴乌和9-12穴乌期间比在Zhenshan97B在Jin23B维持了高水位线潜力。另外，水应力比在Jin23B在Zhenshan97B在耻辱以及空谷物的百分比上在花粉数字导致了更重要的减少。因此，水应力由损坏抗氧化剂酶活动导致了小穗状花小穗绝育，这被建议，减少在在在米饭的flowering阶段的小穗状花小穗和减少的雌蕊水潜力的糖类内容。
