Objective:To investigate the methylation of CpG island of metallothionein-3 (MT-3) gene in esophageal cancer tissues and normal tissues in middle and south area of Hebei Province and Chaoshan area of Guangdong Province and compared the results with those in low risk area of esophageal cancer. Methods:The blood samples from 10 normal volunteers, 10 embryonic esophageal tissues, 20 esophageal mucosa tissues from normal subjects in low risk area as well as 30 fresh surgical specimens of esophageal cancer and 30 normal marginal tissues in the high risk middle-south Hebei Province and Chaoshan area were collected. Methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP) was used to detect the methylation status of the CpG island of MT-3 gene in these samples. Its relationship with clinicopatho-logical features was analyzed. Results:There were 20 (33.3%) cases with MT-3 methylation in the marginal tissues of esophageal cancer from high-risk area, which was higher than that in the normal mucosa from low-risk area (P=0.013). And there were 49 (81.7%) cases with MT-3 methylation in esophageal cancer tissues, which was higher than that in normal marginal tissues (P<0.001). But there was no significant difference in the methylation degree between middle-south of Hebei Province and Chaoshan area (P=0.739). Conclusion:MT-3 methylation widely exists in esophageal mucosa and carcinoma tissues. Acquired stimulus may be the main cause of these methylations.

Objective:To explore the relationship between family cumulative risk, non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation, school climate and depression of junior high school students.Methods:From June to September 2022, a total of 1 136 junior high school students were surveyed by the family cumulative risk questionnaire, the cognitive emotion regulation strategy questionnaire, the self-rating depression scale for children and school climate scale.The mediating effect of non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation and the moderating effect of school climate were tested by the Macro program PROCESS of SPSS 25.0 software.Results:Family cumulative risk score was 1.00(2.00), non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation score was 21.00(8.00) and depression score was 7.00(9.00). (2) Family cumulative risk was significantly positively correlated with non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation( r=0.28, P<0.01) and depression( r=0.43, P<0.01). There was a significantly positive correlation between non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation and depression( r=0.41, P<0.01), and a significantly negative correlation between school climate and depression( r=-0.56, P<0.01). (3) Non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation played a partial mediating role between family cumulative risk and depression, and the direct effect and mediating effect accounted for 80.49%(0.33/0.41) and 19.51%(0.08/0.41)of the total effect respectively.(4) School climate played a moderating role in the influence of family cumulative risk on non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation. Under the condition of the level of school climate was high, the positive predicting effect of family cumulative risk on non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation was significantly enhanced( Bsimple=0.34, P<0.001). Conclusion:Family cumulative risk plays a certain role in depression through the mediation of non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies and the regulation of school climate in junior high school students.

ObjectiveTo understand the influencing factors of women’s intention to utilize preconception health care services， so as to promote the utilization of preconception care among women with future pregnancy plan. MethodsThe study was conducted at 8 outpatient health clinics of medical institutions providing perinatal health care in Jiading District of Shanghai. Women who had fertility intention for another child were invited to complete an electronic questionnaire from November 2020 to February 2021. ResultsWomen with better pregnancy and birth care behaviors during the last periconception were more likely to utilize preconception care service before the next conception than those with previous poorer behaviors （OR=1.980， 95%CI= 1.061‒3.694， P=0.032）. Women with higher preconception care knowledge scores had better pregnancy and birth care behaviors during the last periconception than those with lower knowledge scores （OR=1.362， 95%C1= 1.004‒1.846， P=0.047）. ConclusionsIn order to improve the utilization of preconception care among the population with future pregnancy plan， it is necessary to further strengthen health education and social mobilization to promote the preconception eugenic knowledge， planned pregnancy and pregnancy and birth care behaviors.

ObjectiveTo understand the utilization of preconception healthcare services and the influencing factors among the women expecting additional childbirth in Jiading District， Shanghai， and to provide references for promoting the utilization of preconception healthcare services under the new population policy. MethodsA questionnaire survey on the utilization of preconception healthcare services and related influencing factors was carried out among 682 women expecting additional childbirth across six subdistricts in Jiading District， Shanghai. The results were statistically analyzed. ResultsThe average age of the women was （31.7±4.5） years， 30.2% of whom were ≥35 years old. The proportion of women having their third or subsequent children was low， at 16.4%. A significant majority， 92.4%， were found to have various risk factors during initial pregnancy screening. The utilization rate of preconception healthcare services among women seeking additional childbirth was relatively low at 26.7%. Awareness of the free preconception check-up program in Jiading District was also low at 28.6%， and the utilization rate for these services was even lower at 7.69%. Unplanned pregnancies were the primary reason for not utilizing preconception healthcare services， accounting for 63.6%. The results of multifactorial binary logistic regression analysis showed that the utilization rate of preconception healthcare services before the current pregnancy was higher for women aged between 35 and 39 compared to women aged ≤29 years old （OR=1.789， 95%CI： 1.033‒3.099）. Women with planned pregnancies had a higher utilization of preconception healthcare services prior to this pregnancy （OR=4.164， 95%CI： 2.627‒6.602）. Women who had received preconception care prior to their first birth had a higher utilization rate of preconception care prior to the current pregnancy （OR=7.534， 95%CI： 4.954‒11.456）. Women without a family history of chronic diseases had a higher utilization rate of preconception healthcare services （OR=1.903， 95%CI： 1.083‒3.345）. ConclusionUnder the context of three-child policy， the proportion of women seeking three or more children in Jiading District is low. Most of these women have risk factors identified during initial pregnancy screenings. The utilization rate of preconception healthcare services and the awareness of the free preconception screening program in Jiading District are both low. Unplanned pregnancies remain the primary reason for failing to receive timely preconception healthcare services. Age， whether the pregnancy was planned， whether the women had received preconception healthcare services before their first baby and family history of chronic diseases are the main factors affecting the utilization of preconception healthcare services. Relevant departments should enhance the promotion of preconception healthcare service programs， especially for women of childbearing age who have not yet given birth， so as to improve the utilization rate of preconception health care services.
