1.Electronic cigarette use among residents aged 15 years and older in Tongzhou District, Beijing Municipality
Journal of Preventive Medicine 2023;35(11):1005-1008
Objective :
To investigate the prevalence of electronic cigarette use among adult residents at ages of 15 years and older in Tongzhou District, Beijing Municipality, so as to provide insights into formulation of tobacco control interventions.
Methods:
Permanent residents at ages of 15 years and older were sampled using a stratified multi-stage cluster random sampling method in Tongzhou District from September to October, 2021, and subjects' demographics, electronic cigarette use, and exposure to electronic cigarette advertising were investigated using the 2021 Questionnaire for Adult Tobacco Survey in Beijing. The awareness of electronic cigarette knowledge, prevalence of electronic cigarette use, route of acquiring electronic cigarette knowledge and route of exposure to electronic cigarette advertising were analyzed among residents in Tongzhou District, and factors affecting electronic cigarette uses were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 1 196 questionnaires were allocated, and 1 166 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 97.49%. The respondents included 532 men (45.63%) and 634 women (54.37%), with a mean age of (57.05±15.04) years. The awareness of electronic cigarette knowledge was 67.58%, and the prevalence of electronic cigarette uses and current electronic cigarette uses was 3.94% and 0.34%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed a higher possibility of electronic cigarette uses among men (OR=28.492, 95%CI: 6.873-118.106), residents at ages of 15 to 44 years (OR=3.219, 95%CI: 1.584-6.539), enterprise workers/businessmen/service industry workers (OR=3.599, 95%CI: 1.527-8.482), and public institution workers/public servants/students (OR=4.403, 95%CI: 1.758-11.026). The main route of acquiring electronic cigarettes was presented by others (43.48%), and the main cause of electronic cigarette use was quitting smoking (30.43%), followed by thinking little harmlessness of electronic cigarette use (26.09%), while the main route of exposure to electronic cigarette advertising was television (59.09%), followed by internet (45.45%).
Conclusions
There is a low prevalence rate of electronic cigarette uses among residents at ages of 15 years and older in Tongzhou District, and men and residents at ages of 15 to 44 years are main electronic cigarette users. Health education pertaining to the harmlessness of electronic cigarette uses and supervision of electronic cigarette advertising are required to be reinforced.

Objective To assess the intensity of the pain and its negative impact on patients with protrusion of lumbar intervertebral disc (PLID) through using a case-control study. Methods 94 patients with PLID and 398 control individuals were enrolled in this study. The pains were assessed using McGill questionnaire. Results The sensory pain score(5.22?2.22), affective pain score (2.68?0.81)and VAS score (7.79?1.42)in the patient group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P

Purpose To observe the effect of paeonol on inflammatory factors after focal cerebral ischemiareperfusion injury in rats and its possible mechanism of paeonol.Methods Focal cerebral ischemic model was established by MCAO in rats.After 2 hours of cerebral ischemia and 22 hours of reperfusion,the expression of TNF-α and IL-1β in brain was determined by immunohistochemistry.The content of TNF-α and IL-1β in serum was measured by ELISA.Results Compared with model group,the levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in brain and serum in rats in the paeonol groups were obviously decreased.Conclusion Paeonol could relieve brain damage induced by focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion,which may be related to inhibiting the production of inflammatory factors.

Objective To study the effect of small heterocyclic compound 8-oxo-3-thiomorpholino-8H-acenaphtho pyrrole-9-carbonitrile(S1) on apoptosis of human androgen independent prostatic carcinoma cells line(PC3) and its mechanism.Methods PC3 cells were cultivated,and divided into different groups: 10.00,5.00,1.00,0.50,0.10,0.05 and 0.01 ?mol?L-1 S1 groups,meanwhile,PC3 control group and cyclophosphamide group were set up.MTT was used to detect the inhibitory rate of PC3 cell proliferation.Flow cytometry was used to detect the inducing effect of S1 on apoptosis of PC3 cells.Caspase 3,8,9 kits were used to detect apoptosis route.Results The inhibitory rates of PC3 cells induced by 0.10-10.00 ?mol?L-1 S1 were significantly higher than that in cyclophosphamide group(P

OBJECTIVE To study infection and drug resistance of Mycoplasma from female genital tract.METHODS Mycoplasma in cervical secretion from inflammed female genital tract were identified by cultivation,and the sensitivities to antibiotics were also performed.RESULTS Mycoplasma were detected in 318 specimens among 588 patients with genital tract inflammation(54.1%),among which Ureaplasma urealyticum(Uu) accounted for 312(98.1%),and Mycoplasma hominis was 6(1.9%).The resistance to 12 kinds of antibiotics indicated that the sensitivities to 8 kinds of antibiotics were higher than 80% and the sensitivities to erythromycin,spiramycin and tetracycline were the lowest.CONCLUSIONS The infectious rates of Uu are on big rise in female genital tract with inflammation and the resistant strains increase continuously.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and diagnosis of mycoplasma pneumoniae(MP) pneumonia showing lobar pneumonia.Methods Patients from Jan.2004 to Dec.2005 were selected as researching case,which had samptoms and signs of respiratory in clinic,the chest Xray shown lobar pneumonia,the MP of down respiratory′s secretion detected by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and MP-IgM of serum detected by indirect hemagglutination were positive.The clinical data of them were reviewed.Results MP pneumonia showing lobar pneumonia was same to streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia in clinic,but it had some characters:1.majority of the lobar MP pneumonia were children being student;2.the process was long,the samptoms of respiratory was tipical,the continuous fever was few,and the infectious samptoms was not obvious as streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia;3.the injury to lung was more and tipical;4.the increase of white blood cell,neutrocyte and C-reactive protein were not clearly as to streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia,but the absorbing of lung′s focal was relatively fast;5.the ?-lactams antibiotic was not effective,but macrolides was effective.Conclusions Clinical characters of MP pneumonia are needed to master,the variety of chest X-ray changes and differentiate from other pneumonia infected by other are needed to notice.

Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy as a standard term has been used for over 30 years,but now increasingly being questioned.Most experts recommend using neonatal encephalopathy instead of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and The American Academy of Pediatrics published separately the report of Task Force on Neonatal Encephalopathy Neonatal Encephalopathy and Neurologic Outcome,Second Edition in 2014.Definition,diagnosis and treatment of neonatal encephalopathy and other content have been updated in the report.It is recommended that a comprehensive multidimensional assessment be performed of neonatal encephalopathy.This article will introduce the controversy about neonatal encephalopathy or hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and contents of the report of Task Force on Neonatal Encephalopathy.

As a widely accepted and convenient method,the Apgar score has been applied to assess the status of the newborn infants and the response to resuscitation since 1952.But the Apgar score has also been used inappropriately in infants to predict specific neurologic outcomes in many cases.The Apgar Score produced by American Academy of Pediatrics(AAP) in collaboration with American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists(ACOG),updated policy statements of the Apgar score in October 2015.The Apgar score has limitations,and it is not appropriate to use it alone to establish the diagnosis of asphyxia;the method does not predict individual neonatal mortality or neurologic outcome.AAP/ACOG encourages the use of an expanded Apgar score reporting form that accounts for concurrent resuscitation interventions.
