Health and education partnership for a healthy young generation：China’s perspective
SHEN Xiaoming
Pediatricians are indispensable to education，special education in particular. The objects of special education are not ordinary children，but pediatric patients instead. Due to the facts that different diseases may have different impact on learning ability，different manifestations of one disease may also lead to different performance of learning ability，there are objective rules for outcomes of various diseases，and the current hospital-based rehabilitation mode can not meet the requirements of special education，health and education partnership is of vital importance. The medical problems in teaching practice may involve school admission age，identification of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder，and relationship between growth and developmental patterns and teaching regulations. In addressing these problems，Professor SHEN Xiaoming calls for the reform of cultivation program and curricula system for teachers of special education，employment of working rules and standard of special education，and establishment of school-based rehabilitation centers.

Role of Chinese characters cognition in promoting balanced development of both brain hemispheres in children
LIU Jingzhao
Chinese characters，which condense the wisdom of Chinese people，are a kind of“complex brain words”. Chinese characters bear the abundant connotations of national culture gene，possess the bi-directional associations between ideography and highly visualized squared shape，and play an important role in promoting the balanced develop-ment of both brain hemispheres in children.

LEE Shiuhung;KWAN Tingfai;Albert LEE;Trevor Leutscher;TO Choyee
As part of its response to the World Health Organization’s Health Promoting Schools program，in 1999 the Chinese University of Hong Kong developed and implemented a certification program for health and educational professionals. The objective of the certification program is to train educators to design and implement health education in schools and to promote health in the schools and home environment. The program includes five modules：Principles of Health Education and Health Promotion；Understanding Common Health and Social Problems Encountered by the School Children；Investigating Health Information，Planning and Evaluating Health Promotion and Health Education；Developing Competence in Health Education and Health Promotion；and Protocol Developmental and Field Work. In the nine years since its inception，the certification program has expanded into undergrad-uate and graduate degree programs in health education and promotion.

Research on color and line preferences in retarded children
SUN Shengtao;CAI Lu
Objective To investigate the color and line preferences in retarded children. Methods One hundred retarded children were selected，and the preferences to the colors of sky-blue，bright-green，pink and orange and to the lines of straight line，polyline，curve and swirl line were surveyed and analysed. Results In four of the colors，the order of preference in retarded children was sky-blue，bright-green，pink and orange. There were significant differences in the preference for color tone，and cool color tone of sky-blue and bright-green was preferred. There were gender differences in the color preferences. In four of the lines，the order of preference in retarded children was curve，swirl line，polyline and straight line. There were significant differences in the preference for lines，and complicated lines of curve and swirl line were preferred. There was no gender difference in the line preferences. Conclusion Educators may more often use the colors of sky-blue and bright-green and the lines of curve and swirl line to draw more attention from retarded children.

Juvenile justice competence and developmental maturity
Rosemary C. Sarri
Whether juvenile delinquents are appropriate to be convicted and incarcerated as adults for criminal act continue to be a hot debate. In this article，the author argued that the answer should be‘no’. She based her argument on the recent neurocognitive evidence of still developing prefrontal cortex of adolescents，which make them less culpable for their actions. The situation is even worse for juvenile delinquents as they are at higher risk of abuse and trauma，which resulted in greater impairment of the prefrontal cortex. As a conclusion，the author urged that the current justice system should take into consideration the neurocognitive immaturity of juvenile delinquents when they are charged with a criminal act.

Making learning successful：allosteric learning model and its applications in teaching
PEI Xinning
Metaphor is pivotal for the construction of a complex theory. From the perspective of allostery of enzyme，learning is ultimately seen as a change occurring on“active site”of learner’s conceptions. Teachers and mediators can not directly operate the learner’s active site， but who can act on“allosteric site”of learner’s conception system via manipulating the environment that learners interact with so as to trigger some“looseness”or“distortion”（or “deconstruction”）of the conception system and thereby result in a key change（generating new structure and/or new meaning） on the active site. Such a“deconstruction-construction”is a parallel process causing a fundamental learning rather than merely a cognitive process. Using the allosteric learning model，Andre Giordan organically made complex learning elements（biological，psychological，cultural，emotional，epistemological，etc.）integrated，in particular，incorporated subject’s motivation and epistemology into the mechanism on the process of learning. This model provides a strong explanation for daily learning phenomenon.

Associations of nonapeptide with social behavior and autism
ZHANG Ying;XU Xiu
There are mainly two members of nonapeptide in human beings：oxytocin and vasopressin. Recently，more and more attention has been focused on the associations of nonapeptide with social behavior and autism. In studies of mammals，oxytocin shows an influence on maternal behaviors，and vasopressin may induce pair bonding behaviors in some kinds of male mammals. As in humans，oxytocin increases trust and empathy，and reduces social anxiety，while there is little data to suggest that the absence of vasopressin is associated with social deficits. The correlation between nonapeptide and autism has been reported by some researchers，and the prospect for possible treatment of autism has also been proposed. The research progress of associations of nonapeptide with social behavior and autism is reviewed in this paper.

Aphakic glaucoma following congenital cataract extraction and its impact on children’s living quality
JIN Haiying;ZHAO Peiquan
Aphakic glaucoma，which is one of the major complications following congenital cataract extraction，has a relatively higher prevalence. Refractory glaucomatic factors are the most significant challenges to further improving visual prognosis and living quality after cataract surgery. Causality between congenital cataract surgery and aphakic glaucoma has been identified，while its pathophysiology is largely not understood. Various risk factors may be associated with aphakic glaucoma. To have a better understanding of the disease，the research progress on aphakic glaucoma following congenital cataract extraction，including incidence，etiology，pathophysiology，risk factors，diagnosis，management and its impact on living quality of children，is reviewed in this article.

Conducting functional magnetic resonance imaging studies onchildren：an adaptive process
CHAN Suiyin
Being a new and advanced scientific apparatus，magnetic resonance imaging（MRI）has confirmed the close relationship between brain activation and behaviour. However，it was introduced in a pioneering project（The utilization of neuro-cognitive science for the improvement of language education in Hong Kong）to gather neuroscientific data for teaching and learning. To collect accurate data，functional MRI（fMRI）requires the participants to lie motionless during the scanning process. Hence，children are particularly difficult to be involved in fMRI studies given their fidget. The author hopes to share her experience in conducting children-targeted fMRI study with fellow researchers. This paper introduces briefly the mechanism of fMRI and discusses the proper techniques on conducting fMRI study on children.

Application of comparing imaging methods and PBL teaching in nuclear medicine resident standardized training
WANG Shaoyan;WANG Hui;LI Jianing;FENG Fang;CHEN Suyun;WU Shuqi;FU Hongliang
The resident standardized training of China has experienced several rounds of system reform，and the contents of training have been more specific and standardized. With the rapid development of image fusion and instrument technology，the teaching content of clinical nuclear medicine is also constantly updated. The traditional resident standardized training model can not meet the requirements of clinical teaching. Comparing imaging teaching method and problem-based learning teaching mode reform are employed in this studys. The purpose is to enable students to have a comprehensive understanding of the clinical and medical imaging contents，strengthen clinical thinking skills and multidimensional thinking skills，learn to utilize the advantages of various imaging resources to find out the most optimal and reasonable diagnosis and examination process，and be equipped with basic medical qualities.
