Objective:To investigate the surface characterization,cell adhension and proliferation of ultrafine grained titanium (UFG Ti) after different sand blasting and acid-etching(SLA).Methods:The billets of UFG Ti and commercially pure titanium Ti(CP Ti) were incised into cylindrical specimens with 7 mm in diameter and 2 mm in height.The specimens were sand blasted at the air pressure of 0.2,0.4,0.6 and 0.8 MPa respectively(n =10) and then acid-etched.The surface morphology,roughness and surface wettability of the specimens were examined.Rat embryo osteoblasts MC3T3-E1 were cultured on the speciments for 1 d,3 d and 5 d respectively,the cell morphology and cell density were observed.Results:The different hierarchical porous topographies were formed on the surface of UFG and CP Ti after modified by SLA.The sizes of blasted holes on the surface and the surface roughness of both materials increased with the increase of blast pressure,but the values of UFG Ti were lower than those of CP Ti correspondingly(P < 0.05).The surface wettability of them was also changed with the blast pressure,but the values of UFG Ti was significantly smaller than those of CP Ti(P < 0.05).When the blast pressure was 0.6 Mpa,the UFG Ti exhibited excellent wettability,the cell density was the highest,the morphology of MC3T3-E1 cells on UFG Ti was superior to that on CP Ti.Conclusion:UFG Ti exhibits proper surface morphology,roughness and excellent wettability,which is more appropriate for adhension and proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells after modification by SLA at blast pressure of 0.6 Mpa.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of indigenous 2019-nCoV infection in population under 18 years old in 31 provinces of China, and provide evidence for the prevention and control of COVID-19.Method:Demographic and epidemiologic information of children and adolescents with 2019-nCoV infection reported in China between April 29, 2020 and May 31, 2022 were collected from China's Disease Prevention and Control Information System. We analyzed the epidemiological characteristics of the 2019-nCoV infection in children and adolescents and compared the epidemiological characteristics of the cases at different epidemic stages.Result:A total of 63 916 indigenous 2019-nCoV infection cases in children and adolescents were reported in China from April 29, 2020 to May 31, 2022, in which 14 777 (23.12%) were confirmed cases and 49 139 (76.88%) were asymptomatic cases. An obvious incidence peak (40 864 cases) was observed in April, 2022, and two sub-peaks were observed in January, 2020 and January, 2021, respectively. The 2019-nCoV infection cases occurred in 187 cities above prefecture level in 30 provinces, the cases reported in Shanghai (41 562 cases), Changchun (5 753 cases) and Jilin (3 888 cases) accounted for 80.11% of the total cases (51 203/63 916). The proportion of the cases in males was 54.34%. The age of the cases, M ( Q1, Q3) was 10 (5, 14) years, and 57.73% of the cases were 6 - 15 years old. The cases in students accounted for the highest proportion (56.14%). The interval between illness onset and diagnosis of confirmed cases, M ( Q1, Q3) was 1 (0, 2) days. Among the 2019-nCoV infection cases in children and adolescents, 76.88% were asymptomatic, 21.78% were mild ones, 1.32% were moderately severe ones, 0.02% were severe ones, and there were no critical cases and deaths. Compared with other age groups, the proportion of severe or critical cases was higher in children aged <1 year (0.12%). The proportion of asymptomatic infections was highest in Omicron variant epidemic (78.43%). Conclusion:The 2019-nCoV infection cases in children and adolescents aged <18 years in 31 provinces in China were mainly primary and secondary school students aged 6-15 years. Most cases were asymptomatic and mild ones with low clinical severity. It is still necessary to strengthen the surveillance for 2019-nCoV infection in children and adolescents to improve the prevention and control of COVID-19 in school age children.

Influenza imposes a significant disease burden on society and individuals annually, and influenza vaccination is considered a significant public health measure to prevent influenza and reduce influenza-related severe disease and death. The low influenza vaccination rate in China is partly due to certain factors affecting the willingness and behavior of individuals to receive them. Scientific research and targeted interventions on these factors can effectively improve the vaccination situation. Commonly used individual-level theoretical models for influenza vaccination behavior include the health belief model, protection motivation theory, and theory of planned behavior. This study reviews theoretical models commonly employed in researching influenza vaccination willingness and behavior. An overview of these practical applications and challenges models is presented to provide references for relevant research and intervention programs in China.
