Objective · To investigate the smoking hypertensive elderly, find out the status of smoking in this population, and explore effective system intervention. Methods · The smoking hypertensive elderly in Waigang Town of Shanghai who received free antihypertensive drugs were recruited to investigate and descriptively analyze the smoking status of them with questionnaires. Results · There were 77.6% of the smoking hypertensive elderly who began to smoke in the age of 13 to 25, and nearly 70% smoking for more than 40 years. There were 59.5% of these people smoking 11 to 29 cigarettes daily in recent 3 years, and 41.6% spending 200-299 yuan on smoking monthly. Conclusion · Currently almost 70% of the smoking hypertensive elderly, who receives free antihypertensive drugs, have been smoking for more than 40 years, and the average number of cigarettes smoked daily is big. It is clear that the health education attached to the policy of providing free antihypertensive drugs has not changed the behavior. Therefore, medical personnel still needs to contact the illness and smoking hazards to help the elderly reduce smoking. Besides, it proves that tobacco control should be implemented in the young population to control epidemic at the early stage.

Objective · To investigate the prevalence of passive smoking among pregnant women in Shanghai and to analyze its influencing factors and to provide the basis and suggestion for making related intervention measures to reduce the harm of secondhand smoke on the health of pregnant women. Methods · From July to October 2014, pregnant women and their spouses were recruited for a questionnaire investigation at the antenatal care clinics of 3 maternity hospitals and 3 community hospitals in Shanghai. The questionnaire included demographic information, family basic situation and cognitive status of passive smoking. Results · The passive smoking rate before pregnancy in the 2831 pregnant women, who were involved in the investigation, was 17.1%. The passive rate during pregnancy was 7.8%. The difference between these two rates was statistically significant (P<0.05). 71.0% of the pregnant women have passive smoking for 15~59 min each day. Relative to home and work place, the passive smoking rate of pregnant women in public place was the highest (P<0.05). The passive smoking rate of pregnant women was significantly associated with the educational level of smoking spouses and the attitude of pregnant women when they faced the smokers. Conclusion · The passive smoking rate of pregnant women is influenced by the educational level of their spouses and the pregnant women's feedback to the smokers face to face. Public places are the most important exposure places to secondhand smoke for pregnant women. In order to reduce the harm from passive smoking to pregnant women and their fetuses, the related measures of smoking control at home education and smoking ban in public place should be made.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) and lymphocyte function associated with antigen-1( LFA-1) and acute rejection of liver transplantation in rats. Methods SD rats and Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group, isograft group, and allograft group. Liver biopsies from the recipients were obtained on the day 2,4, and 7 postoperatively to examine the expression level of ICAM-1 and LFA-1 in liver grafts. Samples were firstly stained with specific monoclonal antibodies using immunohistochemistry stain and then applied to image semiquantitive analysis. Results The expression levels of ICAM-1 and LFA-1 in allograft group were obviously higher than those in both isograft group and normal group. Moreover, the expression levels of ICAM-1 and LFA-1 were correlated positively with the degree of acute liver rejection. Conclusions Detecting the expressions of ICAM-1 and LFA-1 in liver graft tissue may be helpful to the diagnosis of acute rejection after liver transplantation.

Objective:
To understand the changing trend and influencing factors of health literacy among residents in Hangzhou from 2016 to 2020, so as to provide basis for health literacy promotion.
Methods:
The monitoring data of health literacy of residents in Hangzhou from 2016 to 2020 were collected. The five year cumulative growth and average growth rate were used to reflect the changing trend. The multivariate logistic regression model under complex survey design was used to analyze the influencing factors for health literacy.
Results:
From 2016 to 2020, the health literacy levels of Hangzhou residents were 26.91%, 29.49%, 31.83%, 34.73% and 38.00%, respectively. The five year cumulative growth was 11.09% and the average growth rate was 9.01%. Among three aspects of health literacy, the levels of basic knowledge and concept as well as healthy lifestyle and behaviors increased year by year (P<0.05), with the average growth rates of 15.12% and 2.92%. Among six types of health problems, the levels of chronic disease prevention and treatment, basic medical treatment, scientific view, health information as well as safety and first aid increased year by year ( P<0.05 ), with the average growth rates of 32.76%, 15.82%, 8.41%, 7.12% and 1.53%, respectively. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that education level ( junior high school, OR=5.359, 95%CI: 1.151-24.953;high school/vocational high school/technical secondary school, OR=9.214, 95%CI: 2.906-29.213; college or above, OR=29.977, 95%CI: 9.689-92.741 ) and occupation ( students, OR=2.564, 95%CI: 1.113-5.907 ) were the influencing factors for health literacy.
Conclusion
The health literacy levels of Hangzhou residents from 2016 to 2020 have been increasing year by year. The residents with higher education levels and students may have higher health literacy levels.

Objective:To summarize the clinical-imaging features and prognoses of acute encephalopathy combined with biphasic seizures and late reduced diffusion (AESD).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed. The clinical and imaging data and follow-up results of 8 children with AESD, admitted to Departments of Neurology and Rehabilitation Medicine, Wuhan Children's Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2020 to April 2022 were collected.Results:The antecedent infections in 8 children were predominantly gastrointestinal and respiratory tract infections and convulsive seizures occured within 24 h of fever. The clinical presentation was biphasic: 3 had sustained convulsive state in the first phase of the disease, and all showed cluster seizures with worsening impairment of consciousness in the second phase of the disease, including 4 with involuntary movements during recovery from the disease. Seven children required admission to Intensive Care Unit, 4 required tracheal intubation for assisted ventilation, and 1 was combined with septic shock. Brain MRI findings of 8 children were "bright tree" in the second phase of the disease, including bilateral symmetrical and bilateral asymmetrical involvements, with diffuse and focal involvements. All 8 children were treated with glucocorticoids and/or gammaglobulin, and 2 were given mild hypothermia brain protection. Follow-up was performed for more than 3 months, and brain MRI indicated cerebral atrophy, subdural effusion and cerebral malacia. All the 8 children survived with different degrees of sequelae. Two children had Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale scores of 4, 4 had scores of 5, and 2 had scores of 7.Conclusion:AESD is a special clinical-maging syndrome, characterized by biphasic seizure and "bright tree" on head MRI; the survival is high, but neurological sequelae of different degrees are easily left behind.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(12):1833-1838
Objective:
To investigate the distribution of various types of screen time and examine the association of screen time with psychological and behavioral development problems in children aged 3-6 years, so as to provide scientific basis for children s screen use and mental health promotion.
Methods:
A total of 3 875 mother child dyads who completed the follow up in Shanghai Maternal-Child Pairs Cohort were included. The daily usage time of children s tablet, mobile phone, TV, projectors, and other types of screens were obtained in questionnaire survey. Children s psychological and behavioral development problems were evaluated by Age-Stage Questionnaire, Third Edition (ASQ-3) and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (Parent version) (SDQ). The Chi-square test, Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis rank sum test were used to compare the detection rate of psychological and behavioral development problems and screen time in children with different characteristics. Multivariate binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the association of screen time with psychological and behavioral development problems.
Results:
There were 49.91% of children having screen time more than 1 h/d. Children s TV, tablet and mobile phone screen time were 0.39(0.25, 0.96 ), 0.25(0,0.61) and 0.18(0,0.25) h/d. The detection rates of suspected developmental delay in fine motor, problem solving and personal-social domains and pro social behavior deficiency and externalizing behaviors in boys (8.54%, 6.77%, 5.46%, 30.07 %, 27.39%) were higher than that in girls (4.64%, 4.85%, 2.48%, 22.10%, 22.36%) ( χ 2=23.76, 6.49, 22.37, 31.81, 13.06, P <0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the detection rates of suspected developmental delay in communication, fine motor and problem solving, as well as internalizing behavior and externalizing behavior of children with different parents educational levels ( χ 2=14.37, 15.18, 21.10, 11.66, 9.27; 16.34, 26.75, 32.89, 16.97, 6.37, P <0.05). There were significant differences in the detection rates of suspected developmental delay in problem solving, prosocial behavior deficiency, internalizing behavior and externalizing behavior of children whose mothers had anxiety/depression symptoms during pregnancy ( χ 2= 5.61 , 9.05, 21.90, 7.17; 8.75, 6.06, 12.76 , 5.55, P <0.05). The average total screen time of boys was longer than that of girls (1.07, 1.00 h/d, Z=-2.08, P =0.04). Compared with children with other educational levels of their parents, the total screen time, mobile phone and TV screen time of children whose parents had college education or above were short (father: H =42.01, 44.49 , 21.24, mother: H =42.31, 39.21 , 26.47, P <0.01). Among all types of screen time, mobile phone screen time had the most impact on psychological and behavioral development. More mobile phone screen time increased the risk of suspected developmental delay and abnormal emotional behavior ( P < 0.05). Screen time of tablet, mobile phone and TV were positively correlated with externalizing behavior ( OR=1.36, 1.57, 1.27 , P <0.05).
Conclusions
Screen time is related to children s psychological and behavioral development problems and mobile phones affect the most. Parents should limit their children s screen time to avoid excessive screen time affecting their psychological and behavioral development.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of pegylated interferon (Peg-IFN) alfa-2b combined with nucleotide analogues (NAs) on the recurrence of hepatitis B-related liver cancer after resection, and to explore the changes of HBsAg and HBV DNA in patients with chronic hepatitis B liver cancer during postoperative treatment.Methods:The prospective study was conducted. Clinical data of 43 patients with hepatitis B-related liver cancer who underwent radical resection treated in 900th Hospital of People′s Liberation Army were prospectively analyzed from January 2020 to December 2021. Among 43 patients, there were 39 males and 4 females, the age was 30-76 years. According to different treatment methods they were divided into two groups, the patients treated by Peg-IFN alfa-2b combined with NAs were devided into the IFN group( n=10), and those treated by NAs alone into the NAs group( n=33). Two-pair semi-quantitative were collected every 3 months after operation. The recurrence-free survival rate, recurrence time after 2 years in the two groups, the clearance rate and the negative rate of HBsAg and HBV DNA in the two groups. Peg-IFN alfa-2b was evaluated in improving the prognosis of hepatitis B-related liver cancer. The measurement data of normal distribution were expressed by mean±standard deviation ( ± s), and t-test was used for comparison between the two groups. Chi-square test was used for comparison between the two groups of count data. Repeated analysis of measurement variance was used for analysis HBsAg and HBV DNA changes of the interferon group overall survival time and recurrence-free surrival time of patients was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method and the difference between groups was assessed using Log-rank test. Results:HBsAg and HBV DNA: The HBsAg clearance rate at 24 weeks and that at 48 weeks in the IFN group were 24.6% and 59.0% respectively. The HBsAg negative rate at 48 weeks was 16.7%. The HBV DNA clearance rate at 24 weeks and that at 48 weeks were 33.9% and 53.8% respectively. The HBV DNA negative rate was 0 at 48 weeks. The levels of HBsAg and HBV DNA in the IFN group decreased gradually with time. There were statistically differences between the levels of HBsAg and HBV DNA at 0 weeks, 24 weeks and 48 weeks( P<0.05). The 2-year overall survival rates of IFN group and NAs group were 100% and 90.9% respectively. The 2-year recurrence-free survival rates were 90.0% and 63.6% respectively. There were no significant statistical differences in the overall survival rate and recurrence-free survival rate between the groups ( P>0.05). The postoperative recurrence time of the IFN group and the NAs group were (15.00±7.07) months and (5.78±3.39) months respectively. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=3.160, P<0.01). Conclusion:Long-term antiviral therapy of Peg-IFN alfa-2b combined with NAs can prolong the recurrence time of liver cancer, reduce the levels of HBsAg and HBV DNA in serum, and potentially improve the survival rate of the patients compared with therapy of NAs alone.
10.Association between iron intake from different sources and risk of gestational diabetes mellitus: a retrospective cohort study
Shanghai Journal of Preventive Medicine 2022;34(7):671-675
ObjectiveTo explore the association between total iron, iron supplements, dietary total iron, heme iron intake and the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM). MethodsA total of 668 pregnant women who gave birth in one hospital in Shanghai during January 2020 to July 2021 were included in a retrospective cohort study. Baseline characteristics and data of iron supplements in second trimester were collected through a questionnaire. A simplified dietary frequency questionnaire was used to quantify the food intake in second trimester. Total iron, iron supplements, dietary total iron, and heme iron intake was classified into groups by quintile and median. The association between iron intake from different sources and risk of GDM was determined using logistic regression analysis. ResultsAfter correction for age, family history of diabetes, overweight / obesity before pregnancy, hemoglobin(Hb)in first trimester, energy, carbohydrate energy, protein, and free sugar, it showed no association between total iron intake and risk of GDM (P>0.05), while elevated risk of GDM among women with high iron supplements intake (OR=1.65; 95%CI: 1.14‒2.39), and decreased risk of GDM among those with high dietary total iron intake (OR=0.53; 95%CI: 0.35‒0.81). However, no association was found between heme iron intake and risk of GDM (P>0.05). ConclusionHigh dietary total iron intake may be a protective factor, while high iron supplements may be a risk factor for GDM. It suggests that pregnant women should carefully choose high-dose iron-containing supplements in the absence of iron deficiency, as dietary iron intake should be the priority.
