Objective:
To explore the association of health literacy with smoking attempt behavior among middle school students in China,and to provide ideas for health education for middle school students.
Methods:
Using stratified cluster sampling method, 1 066 students were selected from Zhejiang, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Sichuan and Guizhou provinces in China during June to November 2017, a questionnaire survey was conducted to collect health literacy and smoking attempt behavior.
Results:
The score of health literacy among middle school students was (13.49±1.87). Students who lived in eastern and rural areas, girls, guardians who were jointly supervised by their parents and grandparents, the only child, non smokers, and small amount of weekly pocket money had higher scores in health literacy( t/F =9.81,3.10,11.12,2.65,3.50,4.47,2.64, P <0.05). The prevalence of smoking attempt behavior was 5.5%. Multiple Logistic regression analyses showed that central and western China, drinking and low healthy literacy were positively correlated with smoking attempt behavior ( OR =2.75, 3.54, 21.62, 2.50, P <0.05).
Conclusion
Low healthy literacy can be used as a predictor of smoking attempt among middle school students, the health education should be conducted to control the smoking attempt behavior.

OBJECTIVE:
To analyze the indication, karyotyping result, ultrasound finding, pregnancy decision and follow-up of fetuses with sex chromosome aneuploidies (SCA) detected by non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) during early and midterm pregnancies.
METHODS:
The results of 225 singleton pregnancies with fetal SCA detected by NIPT were reviewed and analyzed.
RESULTS:
The 225 cases included 45,X (n=37), 47,XXY (n=74), 47,XXX (n=50), 47,XYY (n=56) and mosaicisms (n=8), among which 121 (53.8%) have opted to terminate the pregnancy, including 45,X (n=31), 47,XXY (n=61), 47,XXX (n=14), 47,XYY (n=12) and 3 mosaicisms. The remainder 104 (46.2%) have elected to continue with the pregnancy, among which three have opted to terminate due to abnormalities detected by ultrasonography, and two had spontaneous abortions.
CONCLUSION
NIPT as a first-tier screening method can effectively detect fetal trisomies 21, 13 and 18 as well as SCA. The types of fetal SCA and presence of ultrasound abnormalities are critical factors for the termination of pregnancy.
