Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of metabolic disorder and the incidence rate of metabolic syndrome (MS) in the patients with posthepatitic cirrhosis.Methods Four hundred and fifty-five patients with posthepatitic cirrhosis were included in the study and divided into hepatitis B related cirrhosis group (LCB group,351 cases) and hepatitis C related cirrhosis group (LCC group,104cases).The prevalence of metabolic disorder was recorded and the characteristics of posthepatitic cirrhosis with MS and without MS were compared and analysed.Results The prevalence of hyperglycemia,hypertension,hyperlipemia,obesity and MS in the posthepatitic cirrhosis patients was 46.59% (212/455),15.16% (69/455),15.38% (70/455),22.64% ( 103/455),12.53% (57/455) respectively.The prevalence of MS in LCB and LCC was 8.26% (29/351) and 26.92% (28/104).The levels of body mass index (BMI),fasting blood glucose,hypertension,cholesterol,aminotransferase (ALT) in LCB with MS patients were significantly higher than those in LCB without MS patients.There were no differences in the levels of HBeAg and HBV DNA between LCB with MS patients and LCB without MS patients.The levels of BMI,hypertension,triglyceride in LCC with MS patients were significantly higher than those in LCC without MS patients.There were no differences in fasting blood glucose,cholesterol and ALT between LCC with MS patients and LCC without MS patients.Logistic regression revealed that BMI was the independent factor in LCB and LCC with MS.Conclusions The prevalence of hyperglycemia and obesity are higher in LCB and LCC.The incidence rate of MS in LCB is less than that in the general population,while the incidence rate of MS in LCC is significantly higher than that in the general population,and it's nothing to do with the viral replication.BMI is an important factor affected in posthepatitic cirrhosis with MS.

Abstract
E cigarette has become more and more popular among adolescents, and the awareness and use of e cigarettes among middle and high school students have shown a significant upward trend. E cigarette use is not only harmful to adolescent health, but also may become a gateway to other addictive substances. Individual characteristics, products features, environment and other factors were associated with e cigarette use among adolescents. The purpose of the review is to understand the current status and associated factors of adolescent e cigarette use, so as to provide scientific suggestions for the prevention of e cigarette use among adolescents.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the warning effect of different tobacco packaging on teenagers and provide an objective evidence for improving tobacco packaging in China. MethodsA multi-stage cluster sampling method was used to investigate students from two middle schools and two high schools in Huangpu District, Shanghai with a self-filled questionnaire survey, and a total of 1 238 valid questionnaires were collected. Epidata 3.1 was used to input data and SPSS 20.0 was used for data analysis. ResultsAbout 69% of the respondents supported printing pictures of diseases on tobacco packages in China, and 81.58% thought graphic warnings should cover more than 70% of the tobacco package. The effect of graphic health warning labels was better than that of text-only warning labels (P<0.05), and the effect of real photos was better than abstract pictures. In addition, labels with real graphic warnings had the highest scores in terms of preventing youth smoking and the degree of support, which was significantly different from abstract graphic warning labels and text-only warning labels (P<0.05). ConclusionCigarette packs with graphic health warnings have a stronger effect on teenagers than plain text health warnings. Teenagers support the use of graphic warnings. It is recommended to apply graphic health warnings with real photos of diseases on the cigarette packages to maximize the effect of the health warnings.

Objective To analyze the rules and characteristics of cross-allergy cases related to drug-related medical disputes,and to provide reference for the formulation of cross-allergy prescription review strategy.Methods The judgments of cross-allergy related medical damage liability disputes recorded in the legal document database of Beijing Yingke Law Firm and the Chinese Judgment Document Network database from August 2010 to June 2023 were analyzed,the causes of relevant disputes were summarized and analyzed,and more comprehensive response measures were formulated.Results A total of 65 judgments were retrieved,and seven judgments were included.The main drugs causing cross allergy were antibiotics(penicillins,cephalosporins and sulfonamides).Seven cases of medical disputes,all of which were ruled by the court that the medical party had medical errors due to cross-allergies,and had to bear 30%to 80%of the compensation liability.The main reasons for the punishment were that the doctor did not pay enough attention to the patient's past history of allergy and chose unreasonable drugs.Conclusion Medical institutions can reduce the risk of cross-allergy by means of information technology,and play the role of pharmacists in prescription review and pharmaceutical care.Physicians should pay attention to the patient's past history,earnly inquire,strengthen medication education and monitoring,reduce the threat of adverse reactions to the patient's life safety and related drug disputes,and protect the legitimate rights and interests of both doctors and patients.

ObjectiveTo explore the influencing factors of willingness to quit smoking in smokers, and to provide reference for further smoking cessation intervention. MethodsThrough purposive sampling, smokers were recruited from 4 residential communities and 3 companies in Shanghai for an online questionnaire survey. The survey included general demographic characteristics, willingness to quit smoking, smoking condition, tobacco addiction, awareness of influence of smoking, smoking abstinence self-efficacy, and smoking rationalization belief. T-test, χ2 test and multiple logistic regression were used to analyze the data. ResultsA total of 336 valid questionnaires were collected. The average age of the smokers was (37.1±10.2) years, and most of their education level was college or above (58.3%). The daily number of cigarette use was (11.46±7.22) and most of smokers were classified as low nicotine dependence (58.3%). Today 248 smokers planned to quit smoking in the next six months. Compared with smokers with low smoking abstinence self-efficacy, smokers with high self-efficacy were more likely to quit smoking (OR=2.406,95%CI: 1.357‒4.267); Smokers with low smoking rationalization belief were more likely to quit smoking than those with high rationalization belief (OR=2.112, 95%CI: 1.167‒3.821). ConclusionSmoking abstinence self-efficacy has a positive impact on willingness to quit smoking, while smoking rationalization belief has a negative impact on the willingness to quit smoking. Efforts to improve smoking abstinence self-efficacy and dispel smoking rationalization beliefs of smokers should be made to promote the intention to quit among smokers.
