Objective · To compare the prevalence of tobacco advertisement before and after implementation of the new edition of Advertising Law of the People's Republic of China and evaluate the effects of implementation of the new Advertising Law. Methods · Tobacco sales places, public places, and streets in Shanghai were randomly selected to observe tobacco advertisement and complete the survey. The survey was carried out in 10 districts of Shanghai in June 2015 with 10 tobacco sales places selected in each district, and in 4 districts of Shanghai in June 2016 with 25 tobacco sales places selected in each district. Sales places included convenient stores, tobacco stores, supermarkets, and kiosks. In addition, public transport waiting points, public transport vehicles, hospitals, shopping centers, restaurants, bars, and Internet cafes were selected into survey in 2016. Results · In 2016, the proportion of tobacco sales places having tobacco advertisement was lower than that in 2015, but the proportion of tobacco promotion behaviors was higher. In 2016, 128 public places and streets were investigated and only 1 had outdoor tobacco advertisement. Conclusion · The new edition of Advertising Law has significant effect on controlling tobacco advertisement, but tobacco sales places still have tobacco advertisement with various disguised promotion forms. Tobacco sales places have diversified business styles and minors often enter these places. It is recommended that a clear definition of disguised forms of tobacco advertisement should be made, tobacco advertisement at tobacco sales places needs to be supervised, the release of tobacco advertisement should be strictly reviewed, and existing tobacco advertisement should be severely punished, so as to prevent minors from exposing to tobacco advertisement and information luring smoking.

BACKGROUND:Absorption and atrophy of the alveolar ridge always happen after tooth extraction. There are stil a lot of difficulties to be worked out to prevent the atrophy of the alveolar ridge. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of the nano-chitosan/bone morphogenetic protein hydrogel on preventing absorption of the residual alveolar ridge of the rats. METHODS:Total y 54 Sprague-Dawley rats were divided randomly and equal y into three groups. A model of residual alveolar ridge was made by extraction of the left central incisor. Nano-chitosan bone morphogenetic protein hydrogel was implanted into the rat’s alveolar fossa of the experimental group;the alveolar fossa of the control group was implanted with nano-chitosan hydrogel;the alveolar fossa of the blank group was implanted with nothing. Rat’s mandible was ful y dissected after 3, 6, 9 weeks, respectively. Molybdenum target X-ray examination and pathological observation were evaluated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At weeks 3, 6, 9 postoperation, the residual alveolar ridge was absorbed to different degrees, which was milder in the experimental group than the cotrol group and blank group (P<0.05). After 3 weeks, in the blank group, less new bone formed, but bleeding and a large amount of inflammatory cells were visible; in the control group, a few of osteoid tissues and lymphocytes were found; in the experimental group,new bone formed and a small amount of inflammatory cells were observed. After 6 weeks, new bone formed obviously in the experimental group, a little new bone formed in the control group, but less new bone formed in the blank group. After 9 weeks, a large amount of new bone formed in the experimental group with good osteogenic ability; only a few of new bone formed in the control and blank groups. Nano-chitosan/bone morphogenetic protein hydrogel can be used to prevent the absorption of the residual alveolar ridge after tooth extraction.
