Nonorganic failure-to-thrive (NOFT) is a clinical syndrome that is poorly understood and inadequately studied. Because empirical data are lacking, an attempt was made to identify differentiating aspects of the mother-infant interaction and environment of infants with NOFT compared with those of matched infants who grew normally. Prospectively, 23 infants who were suffering from NOFT were chosen in a referral clinic. Each infant was matched with a control subject with normal growth by age, sex, and race of the infant and family income, maternal education, and number of people living in the household. An assistant who was unaware of infant growth status visited the homes of these infants within 3 weeks of diagnosis and gathered: the Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment (HOME); the Coddington Life Events Record; and the Index of Parent Attitude Scales. The total HOME Inventory and the subscales entitled Maternal Acceptance of the Child, Organization of the Physical Environment, and Emotional Responsivity were significantly less favorable (P < .05) in the NOFT group. There were no group differences in the Life Events Record and the Parent Attitudes Scales. A discriminant function analysis correctly placed 32 of the 46 infants into failure-to-thrive and control groups. It is concluded that certain aspects of the home environments of infants with NOFT differ from those of infants of similar socioeconomic status who grow normally.

ABSTRACTThis is an investigation of the relationships among selected aspects of normal language development, emerging metalinguistic skills, concepts about print, and family literacy experiences in 3-year-old children who vary in their socioeconomic backgrounds. Forty-three normally developing children, whose family incomes ranged from under $10,000 to over $100,000, were given 4 tests of language development; 12 metalinguistic tasks measuring phonological awareness, word awareness, and structural awareness; and 2 measures of literacy knowledge. The children's family literacy experiences were described following a parent interview. The data analysis had two main purposes. The first was to examine the family literacy experiences of the children using a qualitative analysis. The second was to describe, in a quantitative way, the relationships among family literacy experiences, socioeconomic factors, language development, metalinguistic performance, and concepts about print. The interview data revealed that, while parents varied in the emphasis they placed on literacy activities, all of the children were at least somewhat involved in literacy activities at home; family report of literacy activities was associated with family income. Quantitative analyses revealed that amount of family literacy involvement and the children's race were related to oral language development, and language development was the most powerful predictor of metalinguistic awareness. When language development was controlled statistically, family literacy and socioeconomic factors had negligible effects on metalinguistic skills; however, knowledge of print concepts was related to metalinguistic performance, especially in the phonological domain, and was associated with the children's family literacy experiences, maternal education, and race.

Observations over a period of 6 years are reported on 10 children in whom the diagnosis of congenital sucrase isomaltase deficiency (SID) was confirmed by quantitative estimation of disaccharidase activity of the small intestinal mucosa. Repeat biopsies were performed on eight of the ten patients and showed no evidence that sucrase isomaltase activity is acquired. Sucrose tolerance tests (2 gm/kg) showed no significant rise in blood glucose in the seven patients in whom they were performed. This condition may appear in young infants with severe diarrhea resulting in a malabsorption syndrome and failure to thrive. It may also be manifest in a milder clinical presentation with bothersome diarrhea in spite of normal growth and development in the older infant or young child. The diagnosis in this latter group can be difficult, and is frequently missed.

Background: The emergence of nutritional problems in toddlers is influenced by many interrelated factors. Directly influenced by some things, the toddler is not getting enough nutritious food balanced at the age of toddlers, the child does not get adequate nutritional care and children suffer from infectious diseases. Poverty is also one of the causes of malnutrition in regard to availability and consumption of family food. Less or worse nutritional problems and stunting are certainly required early detection attempts. Early detection of children's growth is an activity/examination to early find the existence of growth irregularities in infants The purpose of research: to do the growth factor: Nutrition Status, event Stunting in toddler  aged < 5 years in the work area Puskesmas Sidomulyo Pekanbaru. Research method: The sample used in this research is a toddler in Sidomulyo Puskesmas work area which amounted to 30 toddlers 12-59 months with Consencutive sampling technique. The study took place in December 2019.    Research instruments are digital weight scales, body length meters, Midline and questionnaires. Data analysis using the Rank Spearman. Research result: Classification of nutritional problems in infants based on the BB/U majority is BB less (underweight) 19 Reponden (63.3%). On a short (stunteed) majority, 14 respondents (46.7%), and based on the majority of the BB/TB of Good Nutrition (Normal) 17 respondents (56.7%). There are factors that affect the problem of nutritional status and stunting in children, from the knowledge aspect obtained by 16 respondents (53.3%)  Less knowledgeable, the majority of maternal education was 19 (63.3%), there were a history of 23-person disease infections (76.7%), and a low family income of 20 people (66.7%) and incomplete immunizations as much as 17 people (56.7%). There is a relationship factor of mother knowledge with the problem of nutrition (stunting) (0.00), there is a relationship factor mother education with the problem of nutrition (stunting) (0.00), there is a relationship factor family income with nutrition (stunting) (0.001), there is a relationship factor of infection history in infants with stunting problems (0.00), there is a relationship factor immunization history with the problem of the nutrient (stunting) (0.010). It is expected that the health workers further improve the counseling and education to the toddler mother in monitoring nutritional problems and growth of toddlers

Protein Functions

The SSN6 protein functions as a negative regulator of a variety of genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and is required for normal growth, mating, and sporulation. It is a member of a family defined by a repeated amino acid sequence, the TPR (tetratricopeptide repeat) motif. Here, we have used specific antibody to identify and characterize the SSN6 protein. Both SSN6 and a bifunctional SSN6-beta-galactosidase fusion protein were localized in the nucleus by immunofluorescence staining. The N-terminal one-third of the protein containing the TPR units was identified as the region that is important for SSN6 function. Analysis of four nonsense alleles, isolated as intragenic suppressors of an ssn6::URA3 insertion, revealed that polypeptides truncated after TPR unit 7 provide SSN6 function. Deletion analysis suggested that TPR units are required but that 4 of the 10 TPR units are sufficient. In addition, deletion studies indicated that three very long, homogeneous tracts of polyglutamine and poly(glutamine-alanine) are dispensable. Previous genetic evidence suggested the SSN6 protein as a possible target of the SNF1 protein kinase. Here, we show that the C terminus of SSN6 is phosphorylated in vivo and that the SNF1 kinase is not responsible for most of the phosphorylation. Finally, SSN6 has a modest effect on the maintenance of minichromosomes.

ABSTRACT Background: Children nowadays use gadgets intensively, which can lead to addiction. The frequency or intensity of the children in using gadgets may affect their development. This study aimed to examine the use of gadgets on child development in children aged 3-5 years. Subjects and Method: A cross sectional study was conducted in Melawi, East Kalimantan, Indonesia, from August to September 2019. A sample of 200 children 3-5 years old was selected by fixed exposure sampling. The dependent variable was child development. The independent variables were gadget use, maternal age, maternal education, maternal employment, family income, number of children, and type of family. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a multiple linear regression. Results: Children development aged 3-5 years increased with maternal age ≥20 years old (b= 0.73; 95% CI= 0.11 to 1.35; p= 0.020), maternal education ≥Senior high school (b= 0.71; 95% CI= 0.34 to 1.08; p<0.001), family income ≥Rp 2,288,000 (b= 0.85; 95% CI= 0.42 to 1.28; p<0.001), and nuclear family type (b= 0.57; 95% CI= 0.25 to 0.89; p= 0.001). Children development aged 3-5 years decreased with gadget use (b= -0.69; 95% CI= -0.98 to -0.40; p<0.001), employed mother (b= -0.75; 95% CI= -1.05 to -0.45; p <0.001), and number of children >2 (b= -1.13; 95% CI= -1.46 to -0.80; p<0.001). Conclusion: Perkembangan anak usia 3-5 tahun meningkat dipengaruhi oleh usia ibu, pendidikan ibu, pendapatan keluarga, dan tipe keluarga inti. Perkembangan anak usia 3-5 tahun menurun pada anak yang menggunakan gadget, pekerjaan ibu, dan jumlah anak. Keywords: gadget use, children aged 3-5 years Correspondence: Livia Calorina.

ABSTRACT Background: Social economics and environmental factors contribute to low birthweight. Cigarette exposure to tobacco smoke in pregnant women has been discerned as an important risk factor for low birth weight. The purpose of this study was to investigate social economic determinants of birth weight using path analysis model. Subjects and Method: A case control study was carried out at Asembagus community health center, Situbondo, East Java. The study population was children aged 0-1 years. A sample of 150 children with normal birthweight and 50 children with low birth weight was selected randomly. The dependent variable was low bierthweight. The independent variables were maternal age, maternal employment status, family income, maternal knowledge, and cigarette smoke exposure. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by path analysis. Results: The risk of low birthweight was directly and positively associated with maternal age <20 or ≥35 years (b= 1.78; 95% CI= 0.83 to 2.73; p<0.001), low maternal education (<Senior high school) (b= 0.93; 95% CI= 0.00 to 1.86; p= 0.049), mother work outside the home (b= 1.24; 95% CI= 0.26 to 2.22; p= 0.013), low family income low (b= 1.33; 95% CI= 0.42 to 2.24; p= 0.004), low maternal knowledge (b= 1.17; 95% CI= 0.13 to 2.21; p= 0.026), and high cigarette smoke exposure (b= 1.11; CI 95%= 0.08 to 2.13; p= 0.035). The risk of low birthweight was indirectly and positively associated with maternal education, maternal knowledge, and family income. Conclusion: The risk of low birthweight is directly and positively associated with maternal age <20 or ≥35 years, low maternal education (<Senior high school), mother work outside the home, low family income low, low maternal knowledge, and high cigarette smoke exposure. The risk of low birthweight is indirectly and positively associated with maternal education, maternal knowledge, and family income.

ABSTRACT Background: Complementary feeding practice is needed to be optimized to maximize children’s potential for growth and development. However, there are still many obstacles in provide complementary feeding practice. This study aimed to examine the determinants of complementary feeding practice. Subjects and Method: A cross sectional study was conducted in Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, from October to November 2019. A sample of 200 mothers who had infants aged 6-24 months was selected by probability sampling. The dependent variable was complementary feeding practice. The independent variables were birthweight, child nutritional status, maternal knowledge toward complementary feeding, maternal education, and family income. The data were collected by infant weight scale, infantometer, and questionnaire. The data were analyzed by a multiple logistic regression run on Stata 13. Results: Complementary feeding practice increased with birthweight ≥2500 g (b= 2.67; 95% CI=0.59 to.89; p= 0.008), child nutritional status (WHZ) -2.0 to 2.0 SD (b= 2.72; 95% CI=o.75 to 4.61; p= 0.006), high maternal knowledge toward complementary feeding (b= 2.27; 95% CI= 0.27 to 3.79; p= 0.023), maternal education ≥Senior high school (b= 2.19; 95% CI= 0.23 to 4.25; p= 0.028), and family income ≥Rp 1,571,000 (b= 2.42; 95% CI= 0.39 to 3.77; p= 0.015). Conclusion: Complementary feeding practice increases with birthweight ≥2500 g, good child nutritional status, high maternal knowledge toward complementary feeding, high maternal education, and high family income.
