161 Interdisciplinary interpretation of health and education partnership
FANG Junming;ZHOU Nianli
The idea of health and education partnership has enjoyed a long history in the river of Chinese culture. To interpret the concept of health and education partnership from the interdisciplinary perspectives of philosophy,neuroscience,psychology,medicine,sociology and pedagogy helps to reveal that the combination of high technology and humanity spirit is the development trend of contemporary education,and health and education partnership is the favorable route for development of modern special education. Health and education partnership is a systematic project which allows the deep reform and positive interaction among medicine,education and related disciplines. Health and education partnership in special education may not be the simple combination of biomedical view and behavior training concept,but the deep combination of evidence-based education view and social medicine concept. On one hand,with the help of preventive medicine,rehabilitation medicine and social medicine,the birth of disabled infants may be prevented,the timing of early intervention and rehabilitation may be grasped,and the inherent law of physical and mental development,brain activity and special education may be revealed through in-depth analysis with empirical methods,which may provide a scientific basis for the identification,evaluation and intervention for special children. On the other hand,health and education partnership recognizes individual differences,respects cultural diversity,removes education utilitarian,transforms force-driven behavior training into independent personality training,and emphasizes the interaction between biological genetics and cultural heritage.

173 The language mosaic and its biological bases
WANG Shiyuan
A language is a mosaic,tinkered together from prelinguistic parts by biological as well as cultural selection. Here the author discusses briefly some of the components of this mosaic in light of their neurophysiological bases. To optimize language learning,it is important to recognize and exploit the different maturational schedules of these components of language.

181 Development and application of mobile phone addiction scale for undergraduate students
JIANG Yongzhi;BAI Xiaoli
Objective To develop the mobile phone addiction scale for undergraduate students,and investigate the status of mobile phone addiction of undergraduate students. Methods The preliminary scale of mobile phone addiction for undergraduate students was designed through literature review,semi-structured interview and expert consultation,and the ultimate scale was formed using statistical analysis. Results The mobile phone addiction scale for undergraduate students was composed of compulsive use,withdrawal reaction,relationship involvement,interpersonal alienation,and unfavorable physical and mental health,and the scale enjoyed sound theoretical conception and parameters of reliability and validity. Compulsive use and withdrawal reaction were the core symptoms of the scale,which were commonly found both in boys and girls. However,relationship involvement,interpersonal alienation,and unfavorable physical and mental health belonged to the subsidiary symptoms,which were more obvious in girls than in boys. Conclusion The designed scale may be an efficient tool for the investigation of mobile phone addiction of undergraduate students.

195 Relationship between overweight/obesity and exposure to bisphenol-A in life habits in adolescents
CHEN Yao;HUANG Hong;SHEN Lixiao;LI Feng;LV Yingbo;WANG Yingcan
Objective To investigate the relationship between overweight/obesity and exposure to bisphenol-A in life habits in adolescents. Methods Body mass index was used to evaluate the physical development status of adolescents,and questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate the exposure to bisphenol-A in life habits in adolescents. Results The rate of overweight/obesity was significantly higher in boys(36.3%)than in girls(19.2%)(χ2 = 59.76,P < 0.001). The frequency of bucket water drinking was significantly different between normal weight and overweight/obesity boys (χ2 = 7.654,P = 0.006). The consumption of carbonated drinks in summer(χ2 = 13.328,P < 0.001)and frequencies of metal canned carbonated drinking(χ2 = 6.485,P = 0.011)were significantly different between normal weight and overweight/obesity girls. Conclusion Overweight/obesity is more popular in boys than in girls. The frequency of bucket water drinking may be related to overweight/obesity in boys. The consumption of carbonated drinks in summer and frequency of metal canned carbonated drinking may be related to overweight/obesity in girls.

200 Biological factors of the development of culture and population traits
YANG Lijun;TO Choyee;WAN Ching;WONG Muifong
Education,as one of the major components of modifying behaviours and facilitating social/cultural development,is crucial to the development of a race. To promote the best teaching method,understanding the essence of human behaviour and social/cultural development is a must. This report tried to promote,using a brand new perspective-biology,study of the education of Chinese via the illustration of biological effect on human behaviour and social/cultural development. The ultimate goal is to enhance the development of Chinese people through education. In the current report,we will first briefly describe biological study. Then we will examine human behaviour from evolutionary perspective;this will include discussion of altruistic behaviour within the race. The report will conclude with a discussion of the interaction between genetics and culture.

208 Shining emotion with the light of awareness:emotional awareness and relevant studies
DENG Huan;JIANG Qi;FENG Shudan
Emotional awareness refers to identification and description of emotion,which is a type of cognitive processing undergoing five levels of transformation,i.e.,awareness of bodily sensations,the body in action,individual feelings,blends of feelings,and blends of blends of feelings. Based on the cognitive-developmental theory of emotional awareness,the Levels of Emotional Awareness Scales can effectively measure emotional awareness. Meanwhile,the psychological and neuroanatomical model of emotional awareness initially analyzes the neural mechanism related to different levels of emotional awareness. As to the relevant studies,clinical studies have explored the features of various patients with defects of emotional awareness,and further discussed its formation and influence mechanism. And research in the normal population expands the range of emotional awareness,more positively studying its gender differences,routes of effects and cultivation.

219 An overview of developmental origins of child diseases
WU Ting;ZHAO Yanjun;HUANG Lisu;ZHANG Jun
The theory of fetal origin of adult diseases,often referred to as“Barker’s hypothesis”,is derived from a series of epidemiological studies of infant and adult mortality. This hypothesis states that under-nutrition during gestation is an important early origin of adult cardiac and metabolic disorders due to fetal programming that permanently shapes the body’s structure,function and metabolism,and contributes to adult diseases. Currently,most of the studies describe the association between early childhood development,adult diseases,such as diabetes,hypertension,coronary heart disease,abnormal lipids metabolism,obesity,cancer,etc. But few studies focus on child diseases. This review aims to provide an epidemiologic overview of the literature on fetal origin of child diseases,hoping to shed light on future prevention and intervention.

226 New trends of education science development:influences from cognitive neuroscience
WANG Daoyang;WEI Wei
Cognitive neuroscience is the product of the combination of cognitive science and neuroscience,which is a microscopic study of brain development,brain cognitive,conscious and unconscious brain mechanisms,and brain mechanism of memory,using neuroimaging techniques. The research results will become an important theoretical basis for education reform and the training of thinking,which certainly will have a broad and profound impact on the discipline of education science,teaching means,subject system and so on. Education science can draw the latest research results from cognitive neuroscience,including its branches,such as developmental cognitive neuroscience and social cognitive neuroscience. Deep integration of education science with biological science,cognitive science and developmental science can change the condition that education lacks a scientific empirical basis for a long time,and lay a solid scientific foundation for education.
