Objective To investigate the association of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, heat shock protein (HSP)70-2 gene polymorphisms and susceptibility of acute pancreatitis(AP). Methods Using case-control method,The gene polymor?phism of TNF-α and HSP70-2 was detected by PCR-RLFP in 72 patients with AP and 71 healthy controls. Results There were no significant differences in proportion of TNF-αgenotype and alleles between AP and control groups (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in TNF-αgenotype and alleles between severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and light acute pancreatitis (MAP) of AP group (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in white blood cell count, C-reactive pro?tein (CRP), amylase, three acyl glycerin and glucose between TNF-a and HSP70-2 gene of AA type and GA+GG type pa?tients (P>0.05). The HSP70-2 genotype GA+GG proportion was significantly higher in AP group than that of control group (69.4%vs 49.3%). The ratio of patients with G allele was significantly higher in AP group than that of control group(46.5%vs 31.7%). The ratio of patients with GA+GG type AP was significantly higher in SAP patients than that of MAP patients of AP group(81.0% vs 53.3%). There was no significant difference in G allele between SAP and MAP patients (P>0.05). Conclusion TNF-α polymorphisms is not associated with acute pancreatitis. There is an association between HSP70-2 polymorphisms and acute pancreatitis. Carrying the G allele increases the possibility of a severe acute pancreatitis ,which is one of the genetic susceptibility factors of severe acute pancreatitis.

At present, the existing problem in nasal feeding perfusion apparatus is laborious and instability. Designing the rolling type perfusion apparatus by using a roller pump, the problem is solved. Compared with the traditional perfusion apparatus, the advantage lies in liquid carrying only need once and simulating human swallowing process. Through testing and verification, the apparatus can be used in nasal feeding perfusion for elderly or patients.

Objective: To investigate electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use and its influencing factors among junior high school students of health promotion schools in Xihu District, Hangzhou City, so as to provide insights into school-based tobacco control. Methods: Grade 1 to 3 junior high school students of health promotion schools in Xihu District were recruited using a multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method from September to December, 2021. The participants' demographic features, e-cigarette use and exposure to tobacco advertising were collected using the Chinese version of the Global Youth Tobacco Survey, and the factors affecting the intention to use e-cigarettes were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: The 1 677 respondents included 875 boys (52.18%) and 802 girls (47.82%), and grade 1 to 3 junior high school students consisted of 33.93%, 35.00% and 31.07% of all respondents, respectively. There were 1 461 students that had heard of e-cigarettes (87.12%), 101 students with intention to use e-cigarettes (6.02%), and 24 current users (1.43%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified living in rural areas (OR=2.364, 95%CI: 1.442-3.875), having close friends that were smokers (OR=5.614, 95%CI: 3.404-9.258), having seen smoking via TV, video or movie in the past 30 days (OR=2.106, 95%CI: 1.259-3.523), having received free tobacco products (OR=3.887, 95%CI: 1.172-12.894), considering e-cigarettes as nicotine-free (OR=208.442, 95%CI: 55.713-779.856), and considering smoking making comfortable at party (OR=4.534, 95%CI: 1.853-11.090) as factors affecting intention to use e-cigarettes. There were 38.04% (638/1 677) of junior high school students with exposure to advertisements for e-cigarettes and related products, and stores, supermarkets, convenience stores, grocery, e-cigarette experience stores or offline retail stores were the primary places to contact e-cigarettes and related products. Conclusions The percentage of intention to use e-cigarettes was low among junior high school students of health promotion schools in Xihu District in 2021, and their intention to use e-cigarettes was mainly affected by close friends' smoking status and personal recognition.

Objective:To investigate the assessment and occurrence of first-occured venous thromboembolism(VTE) among hospitalized patients.Methods:The clinical data of 6 532 surgical patients in Shenzhen Hospital, Peking University who were admitted from May 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021 were collected and analyzed retrospectively. The demographic data, Caprini score at admission and the incidence of VTE during hospitalization were analyzed by two independent sample t test and chi square test. Results:The Caprini score at admission of 6 532 patients was 1.81 ± 1.71. The number of cases in high, medium and low risks was 363 (5.6%), 1 189 (18.2%), 4 980 (76.2%), respectively. There was significant difference in VTE risk assessment scores and grades in different gender ( t=5.31, χ 2=48.31), length of stay ( F=195.21, χ 2=548.52) and hypertension ( t=17.07, χ 2=280.89), diabetes ( t=12.14, χ 2=51.18), smoking ( F=31.71, χ 2=53.23) and drinking ( F=18.78, χ 2=30.07) ( P<0.05). Forty-four(0.7%) patients got hospital-acquired VTE totally, among which, 24 cases (6.6%) were in high-risk, 14 cases (1.2%) were in medium-risk and 6 cases (0.1%) were in low-risk. What′s more, the top five VTE risky departments based on the assessment were not completely consistent with the top five departments with the highest incidence of VTE. Conclusions:The hospitalized patients are at high risk of VTE. The risk factors of diabetes, hypertension, smoking, drinking and other related factors should be included in the evaluation model. Meanwhile, the VTE risk assessment of in-patients should be emphasized and prophylactic treatments should be taken to reduce the incidence of VTE.
