Objective:
To evaluate the implementation process of a school-family collaborative "online+offline" tobacco control intervention program in junior high school in Beijing and to explore the execution status, influencing factors and sustainability potential of the intervention, so as to provide evidence for optimizing youth tobacco control strategies.
Methods:
In November 2024, using the random number table method, four first year junior high school classes were selected from three schools each in Fengtai District, Tongzhou District, and Fangshan District of Beijing. One class served as the control group, while the other three classes were designated as intervention groups (one each for online intervention, offline intervention, and combined online offline intervention). The control group received only conventional education.The online intervention group was engaged in WeChat push interventions, including watching micro videos, viewing promotional materials, participating in online quizzes and mini games; the offline intervention group attended knowledge lectures, played peer games, and participated in offline knowledge competitions; the combined online offline intervention group integrated all the aforementioned online and offline intervention measures. The intervention period was from November 2024 to June 2025, spanning a total of 7 months. Based on the Practical, Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model(PRISM) framework, a qualitative research design was employed to conduct semi structured interviews with 48 participants (12 in each of the intervention groups and 12 organizational staff members) from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 3 districts and 3 sampled schools. The interview outlines were designed according to the intervention plan. Data was managed using Nvivo 12.0 software and analyzed following Colaizzi s seven step phenomenological analysis method. Theoretical saturation was assessed using a reserved subset of transcripts.
Results:
Four core themes were identified in the tobacco control intervention process. Overall fidelity of intervention implementation was largely consistent with the original plan, and students showed strong willingness and positive evaluations toward interactive formats such as knowledge contests and peer games, though occasional breakdowns in school-family communication and blurred boundaries between online and offline components were observed; the participants showed a polarized response in terms of satisfaction and participation, most students and parents recognized the significance of the activity, and some parents observed a reduction in smoking behavior; the implementation of internal tobacco control policies in the school was strict, and the atmosphere was favorable, but there was still room for improvement, such as the scarcity of community tobacco control activities and the difficulty in implementing smoke free units; implementation and sustainability infrastructure were preliminarily established, such as through homeroom teacher supervision and training student assistants to assisted in activities, while the sustainability support system required further refinement.
Conclusion
The school-family collaborative "online+offline" tobacco control intervention has demonstrated significant positive effects, but further optimization of activity design, enhancement of community reward mechanisms, and standardized training are required to improve the efficacy and sustainability of the intervention.

Objective To analyze the disease burden and trends of bladder cancer in China and globally from 1992 to 2021. Methods Using the GBD 2021 database, the incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) rates of bladder cancer in China and globally from 1992–2021 were analyzed. Average annual percentage change (AAPC) was calculated using Joinpoint regression. Subgroup analyses by sex and age were conducted, and a Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) model was used to predict trends in age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) for the next 15 years. Results In 2021, China reported 106 000 new cases (ASIR: 5.14/100 000), 571 000 prevalent cases (age-standardized prevalence rate, ASPR: 26.61/100 000), 43 000 deaths (ASMR: 2.34/100 000), and a DALY rate of 45.31/100 000. From 1992–2021, China showed upward trends in ASIR and ASPR but declines in ASMR and DALYs, while global ASIR, ASMR, and DALYs decreased overall with slow ASPR growth. The peak cases in China and globally were both concentrated in the 65-79 age group, with a significantly higher burden on males than females. In China, smoking-related ASMR and ASDR exceeded global averages and rose, whereas high glucose-related indexes were lower and declined. Projections for 2021–2036 indicated that the global incidence and mortality rates would be rising, but ASIR/ASPR would be declining, while in China, the incidence rate would continue to rise, and the mortality rate will stabilize, with a significant increase in ASIR and a gradual decrease in ASPR. Conclusion From 1992 to 2021, the incidence of bladder cancer in China has shown a continuous upward trend and is projected to persist in the future, with significant gender and age differences. Particular attention should be given to elderly males aged 85-89. The disease burden of bladder cancer attributable to smoking continues to rise, highlighting the urgent need to strengthen tobacco control policies.

Colorectal inflammatory cancer transformation poses a major risk to patients with colitis.Patients with chronic intestinal inflammation have an approximately 2-3 fold increased risk of developing colorectal cancer(CRC).Unfortunately,there is currently no effective intervention available.Huangqin decoction(HQD),a well-known traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)formula,is frequently clinically prescribed for treating patients with colitis,and its active ingredients have effective antitumour efficacy.Nonetheless,the mechanism of HQD-mediated prevention of colorectal inflammatory cancer transformation remains unclear.A strategy integrating metagenomic,lipidomic,and messenger RNA(mRNA)sequencing analysis was used to investigate the regulatory effects of HQD on the gut microbiome,metabolism and potential mechanisms involved in colorectal inflammatory cancer transformation.Our study revealed that HQD suppressed colorectal inflammatory cancer transformation,which was associated with enhanced in-testinal barrier function,decreased the inflammatory response,and regulation of the gut microbiome.Notably,cohousing experiments revealed that the transfer of the gut microbiome from HQD-treated mice largely inhibited the pathological transformation of colitis.Moreover,gut microbiome transfer from HQD-treated mice primarily resulted in the altered regulation of fatty acid metabolism,especially the remodeling of arachidonic acid metabolism,which was associated with the amelioration of pathological transformation.Arachidonic acid metabolism and the key metabolic enzyme arachidonic acid 12-lipoxygenase(ALOX12)were affected by HQD treatment,and no obvious protective effect of HQD was observed in Alox12-/-mice,which revealed that ALOX12 was a critical mediator of HQD protection against colorectal inflammatory cancer transformation.In summary,multiple omics analyses were applied to produce valuable data and theoretical support for the application of HQD as a promising intervention for the transformation of inflammatory CRC.

Objective:To compare the impact of manual right arm blood pressure measurement with computer-controlled blood pressure meter (CCBPM) on the detection rate of hypertension among elderly individuals.Method:This was a cross-sectional study. Elderly residents undergoing routine health check-up in a village in Jiangxi Province from April to June 2024 were enrolled. Manual blood pressure measurements were performed on the right arm using an electronic sphygmomanometer, while standardized dual-arm synchronized blood pressure assessments were conducted using the CCBPM. Blood pressure data were recorded from three sources: manual measurement on the right arm; the first CCBPM measurement on the arm with higher systolic blood pressure (CCBPM single); and the mean blood pressure of the arm with higher systolic blood pressure from two (if the difference between the first two measurements was less than 5 mmHg, 1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) or three (if the difference exceeded 5 mmHg) CCBPM measurements (CCBPM mean). Hypertension detection rates from these three datasets were compared. Subgroup analysis was performed according to age (60-74 years old as the elderly group,≥75 years old as the senior group) and gender. Intra-group correlation coefficient ( ICC) was analyzed to evaluate the consistency of blood pressure data of different blood pressure measurement methods, and Kappa value was analyzed to evaluate the consistency of hypertension classification determined by different blood pressure measurement methods. Results:A total of 1 498 participants were enrolled, aged (71.30±6.83) years old, including 678 males (45.26%). The blood pressure and heart rate measured by the artificial right arm blood pressure measurement were higher than those measured by CCBPM single (blood pressure: (140.09±17.19)/(82.40±10.93) mmHg vs. (135.31±18.98)/(81.23±10.51) mmHg; heart rate: (75.76±11.72) beats/min vs.(72.94±11.21) beats/min) and CCBPM mean (blood pressure: (140.09±17.19)/(82.40±10.93) mmHg vs. (134.64±18.39)/(80.28±9.78) mmHg; heart rate: (75.76±11.72) beats/min vs. (72.87±10.70) beats/min, all P<0.05). The detection rate of hypertension determined by CCBPM mean was significantly lower than that of artificial right arm (40.25% (603/1 498) vs.54.34% (814/1 498)) and CCBPM single (40.25% (603/1 498) vs. 44.79% (671/1 498), all P<0.05). Subgroup analysis showed that that the detection rate of hypertension determined by CCBPM mean was lower than that measured by artificial right arm regardless of gender and age (all P<0.05). The consistency of blood pressure data between artificial right arm and the CCBPM mean was moderate (systolic blood pressure: ICC=0.70; diastolic blood pressure: ICC=0.62), with less consistent classification ( Kappa=0.37). The consistency of blood pressure data between CCBPM single and CCBPM mean is extremely high (systolic blood pressure: ICC=0.94; diastolic blood pressure: ICC=0.91), with highly consistent classification ( Kappa=0.74). Conclusions:Artificial right arm blood pressure measurement in physical examinations may overestimate the hypertension detection rate, and the standardized dual-arm synchronized blood pressure measurement using CCBPM can reduce irregular blood pressure measurement.
