Objective: To investigate the e-cigarette use and its influencing factors among middle school students in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide insights into e-cigarette control among adolescents. Methods: Students of junior high schools, high schools and vocational high schools in Ningbo City were sampled using a multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method from September to October 2021. Students' general information, cigarette and e-cigarette use and e-cigarette advertising exposure were collected using 2021 China Youth Tobacco Survey Questionnaire, and proportions of e-cigarette current use and attempt to use were analyzed. Factors affecting the attempt to use e-cigarettes were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: Totally 1 591 questionnaires were allocated, and 1 574 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective rate of 98.93%. The respondents included 863 males (54.83%) and 711 females (45.17%); 787 junior high school students (50.00%), 535 high school students (33.99%) and 252 vocational high school students (16.01%). The proportion of current e-cigarette use was 1.91% and the proportion of attempt to use e-cigarettes was 6.61%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified males (OR=2.544, 95%CI: 1.438-4.501), living in rural areas (OR=2.084, 95%CI: 1.195-3.634), having close friends who were smokers (OR=4.828, 95%CI: 2.936-7.940), witnessing teachers smoking at school (OR=2.766, 95%CI: 1.642-4.659), e-cigarette advertising exposure (OR=2.155, 95%CI: 1.315-3.532), current cigarette use (OR=9.365, 95%CI: 2.610-33.603) and attempt to use cigarettes (OR=7.519, 95%CI: 4.115-13.737) as promoting factors for the attempt to use e-cigarette. Conclusions There are e-cigarette use behaviors among middle school students in Ningbo City. Having teachers or close friends who were smokers, cigarette use behaviors and e-cigarette advertising exposure may increase the risk of attempt to use e-cigarettes among middle school students.

Objective To study the antibacterial effect and mechanism of Resveratrol(RES)on Staphylococcus aureus stand-ard strains (ATCC 25923).Methods Using the microdilution protocol,to obtain minimal inhibitory concentrations(MIC)of RES on Staphylococcusaureus standard strains.Transmission electron microscope (TEM)and scanning electron microscope (SEM)were tested to obtain the effect of Staphylococcusaureus on Ultrastructure.Results The MIC of RES to Staphylo-coccusaureus standard strains ATCC 25923 were 0.256 mg/ml.Compared with control group,transmission electron and scanning electron microscope observation showed that after the act of RES on S.au standard strains,the cell morphology of S.au standard strains changed serious deformation,cells in all shapes and size,cell boundary roughness,cell wall defected and ruptured,and osteoporosis of edgeo,looseness of its structure,the nuclear membrane rupture,local showed vacuolar characteristics.Cell ultrastructure was obvious damaged and inhibition.Conclusion Rseveratrol had obvious inhibition and destruction to the standard strains of staphylococcus aureus,and the inhibition mechanism may be related to the destruction of cell membrane permeability.

micmRNA (miRNA) plays an important role in biological processes via regulating gene expression in the level of posttranscription.Increasing number of studies reveal that miR-375 is downregulated in digestive system tumors, and is related to tumorigenesis.Overexpression of miR-375 can inhibit growth and metastasis of tumors through repressing the expression of target genes.

Objective To observe the influence of diabetes educationon the treatment compliance and quality of life (QOL) of diabetics and to find out the influencing factors of diabetics' QOL. Methods This study applied the questionnaire of compliance and the SF-36 to make an investigation on diabetics. Ninety diabetics who participated in the course of diabetes education during the period from October 2008 to March 2009, and 205 diabetics who were seen in the first affiliated hospital of China Medical Universitybut never participated in the course of diabetes education during the period from September to October of 2008. By comparing the data with control group and using self-paired comparison, the influence of diabetes education on the treatment compliance and the QOL of diabetics was studied. The factors influencing the QOL of each dimension were analyzed by means of single or multiple regressions. Results The treatment compliance of patients was improved with the number of times that these patients participated diabetes education was increased (P<0.05). The treatment compliance of the patients in hospital who had not participated in diabetes education was improved temporarily. However, 2 weeks after these patients were discharged the treatment compliance of these patients had began to decline. The treatment compliance would be declined if patients discontinued participating education for a long time. After 24 weeks intevention, the total score of compliance of intervention group (42.44±4.10) was higher than control group (35.60±3.90), and also higher than the intervention group before intervention (34.56 ± 4.34) (all P<0.01). The scores of 5 dimensions were significantly different (P<0.05 or 0.01). Of 8 dimensions of intervention group, the scores of vitality, social functioning, role-emotional and mental health were all increased after intervention, with significant differences except for role-emotional (P<0.05). The mental health index of patients with long-term health education was increased to a certain degree. Conclusion Long-term health education plays an active role in treatment. Insisting on taking part in health education regularly can improve the quantity of mental health.

Objective To preliminarily select safe parameters for different forms of teeth by irradiating 532 nm picosecond Nd∶YAG laser on human isolated teeth with different irradiation time length and power.Methods Isolated human teeth including anterior teeth,premolars,molars were irradiated with 532 nm picosecond laser.Repeated measurements were made for each tooth by thermometer to measure the temperature of pulp chamber on different time point and power,and the temperature change (△T) was calculated.Results △T of the anterior irradiation group at 0.6 W,30 s;0.8 W,20 s and 30 s;1.0 W,10 s,20s and 30s were more than 5.6 ℃,which was the same with that of premolar group at 1.0 W,30s.△T of the molar group at 1.0 W,30 s was less than 5.6 ℃.Under certain power,the temperature of pulp chamber increased with the prolonging of irradiation time (P＜0.05).At a certain time,temperature increased with the power (P＜0.05).Conclusions It is safe to carry out operation on the parameters setting of 0.8 W,10 s and 0.6 W,20 s irradiation for anteriors teeth;0.4 W,30 s,0.8W,30 s and 1.0 W,20 s for premolar teeth,and 1 W,30 s for molar teeth.In the application of 532 nm picosecond laser,attention is required to be paid on parameter setting to control input power and irradiation time.

Objective To investigate the correlation between vertebral artery dominance (VAD) and posterior circulation ischemic stroke (PCIS).Methods The consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke hospitalized from November 2013 to October 2015 were collected.All patients underwent MRI and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA).The dominant vertebral artery was defined as having the larger diameter if left and right diameter difference ≥0.3 mm or the vertebral artery connected to the basilar artery in a more straight fashion if the diameter difference ＜ 0.3 mm.They were divided into either an anterior circulation ischemia stroke (ACIS) group or a PCIS group according to the classification criteria of Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project (OCSP).A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the correlation between VAD and PCIS.Results A total of 226 patients withacute ischemic stroke were enrolled,including 172 patients (76.1％) in the ACIS group and 54 (23.9％) in the PCIS group.Fifty-four patients (23.9％) had VAD,including 38 (70.3％) on the left and 16 (29.7％) on the right.The proportion of the patients with VAD in the PCIS group was significantly higher than that in the ACIS group (55.6％ vs.14.0％;x2 =39.115,P ＜ 0.001).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that VAD was an independent risk factor for patients occurring PCIS (odds ratio,13.60,95％ confidence interval 6.90-27.01;P＜0.001).Conclusions VAD is closely associated with the occurrence of PCIS,and it is an independent risk factor for PCIS.
