Objective:Analyze the impact of smoking on the mortality and life expectancy of residents in Tianjin in 2019.Methods:Use mortality case-control study method to collect all cause of death cases of residents in Tianjin in 2019 for analysis. After adjusting for the 5-years-old age group, education level, and marital status, the smoking attributed deaths from different diseases of different genders, smoking attributed deaths in different age groups, and their impact on life expectancy were analyzed.Results:The total number of deaths in 2019 was 75 254, with 42 201 males (56.1%). Among male deaths, 3 215 (9.9%) were attributed to smoking, of which 2 157 (50.2%) lung cancer deaths were attributed to smoking; The risk of lung cancer death among smokers was 3.075 times higher than that of non-smokers (95% CI: 2.812-3.364); Among the 33 053 female deaths (43.9%), 1 396 (5.8%) were caused by smoking, with 744 (29.1%) lung cancer deaths attributed to smoking. The age group with the highest number of deaths attributed to smoking for women was the 75-<80 years old age group, followed by the 70-<75 and 80-<85 years old age groups. The age group with the highest proportion of deaths attributed to smoking for men was the 55-<60 years old age group. In addition, smoking accounts for more than 60% of deaths in the 60-<65, 45-<50, 55-<60, and 65-<70 years old age groups. In 2019, the loss of life expectancy attributed to smoking deaths among all residents in Tianjin was 1.13 years, with a loss of 1.15 years for males and 0.57 years for females. The expected life expectancy excluding deaths caused by smoking was 82.92 years, 80.77 years for males and 84.61 years for females. Conclusions:Smoking remains one of the important risk factors for death among residents. Promoting effective measures to reduce smoking rates is an effective way to increase life expectancy.

Objective To optimize conditions for the preparation of amidoximated polyacrylonitrile (PAO) membrane for U (VI) adsorption that can be easily recycled and reused. Methods Using polyacrylonitrile powder as a raw material, the PAO membrane was prepared using the nonsolvent-induced phase separation method under different conditions. The effects of the polyacrylonitrile concentration and temperature and duration of amidoximation in the preparation of casting solution as well as alkali treatment before adsorption on the U (VI) adsorption performance of PAO membrane were investigated. Results Alkali treatment significantly improved the U (VI) adsorption performance of PAO membrane, and the temperature and duration of alkali treatment affected the U (VI) adsorption capacity. The optimal alkali treatment conditions were 0.1 mol/L NaOH, 80 min, and 60℃. The polyacrylonitrile concentration and temperature and duration of amidoximation in the preparation of casting solution influenced the adsorption performance of PAO membrane. The optimal preparation conditions were 10wt% polyacrylonitrile and amidoximation at 65℃ for 18 h. Under the optimal preparation and alkali treatment conditions, the U (VI) adsorption capacity of PAO membrane reached 255 mg/g. Conclusion The PAO membrane has the advantages of simple preparation, high adsorption capacity, and easy recycling and reuse, which can be used as an ideal material for adsorbing U (VI) in wastewater.

Objective: To explore the effects of Yueju pill on Nitricoxide-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (NO-cGMP) signaling in mouse hippocampus. Methods: Single dose of Yueju pill was administered, and mouse hippocampi were got out after administration for 12 min, 24 min, 30 min, 3 h and 24 h. The concentrations of NO and cGMP were detected by ELISA. Other mice were randomly divided into the following groups: control group (con), L-arg group (L-arg), Yueju pill group (YJ) and L-arg+ Yueju pill group (L-arg+YJ) . Control group was treated with saline, YJ group was treated with Yueju pill (13.5 g·kg-1), and L-arg group was treated with L-arg (750 mg·kg-1) . Tail suspension test (TST) was measured30 min after administration.Results:12 min after YJ administration, the concentration of NO was significantly lower than that in control group (P ＜ 0.05) and the concentration of c GMP was also significantly lower than that in control group (P ＜ 0.05) . In the TST test, the immobility time in YJ group was significantly shorter than that in control group (P ＜ 0.01), and the immobility time in L-arg+YJ group was significantly longer than that in YJ group (P ＜ 0.01) . In open field test (OFT), the spontaneous activity of mice were not affected by administering L-arg or YJ. Conclusion: Yueju pill may rapidly alleviate depression-like behaviors of mice through regulating NO concentration, then influencing downstream cGMP and activating the NO-cGMP signaling in cells.

This paper aimed at comparing the differences of antidepressant effects of Yueju Pill between the Balb/c mice and C57 BL/6 J mice and analyzing the effects on synaptic transmission in mice prefrontal cortex. Healthy adult Balb/c mice and C57 BL/6 J mice were randomly divided into control group and Yueju Pill group. Control group was treated with saline, Yueju Pill group was treated with single dose of Yueju Pill (13.5 g·kg-1) . The forced swimming test (FST) was measured 30 min after administration. The field excitatory postsynaptic potential (fEPSP) and long-term potentiation (LTP) of mice prefrontal cortex were detected by the electrophysiological experiment. In FST, the immobility time of Balb/c mice in Yueju Pill group was significantly lower than that in control group (P ＜ 0.01), and the immobility time of C57 BL/6 J mice showed no remarkable difference between Yueju Pill group and control group (P＞ 0.05) . In electrophysiological experiment, the percentage of slope of fEPSP in Balb/c mice in Yueju Pill group was significantly higher than that in control group (P ＜ 0.01), while there was no significantly difference in C57 BL/6 J mice between Yueju Pill group and control group (P＞ 0.05) . The LTP of Balb/c mice in Yueju Pill group was significantly increased than that in control group (P ＜ 0.01), while there was no significantly difference in LTP of C57 BL/6 J mice between Yueju Pill group and control group (P＞ 0.05) . Yueju Pill may display rapid antidepressant effect via increasing fEPSP and LTP in prefrontal cortex of Balb/c mice and then enhancing the synaptic transmission.

This study aimed at exploring the mechanism of the rapid antidepressant effects of Yueju pill on depression of Parkinson's disease (DPD).The fast antidepressant effects of Yueju pill in this study was evaluated by behavior tests,such as open field test (OFT),tail suspension test (TST),forced swimming test (FST) and sucrose preference test (SPT) according to the modeling method of subacute DPD in the literature.In vitro experiment was implemented using PC12 cells.Moreover,the protective effects of Yueju pill on 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) induced neural injury with the engagement of cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) were expounded.As a result,it was found that the immobility time of the mice in the model group was significantly longer than that in the normal group in TST and FST tests (P ＜ 0.01),and the SPT ratio of mice in the model group remarkably decreased (P ＜ 0.01).In addition,the immobility time of DPD mice was shortened in the FST test after administering Yueju pill (P ＜ 0.05),while the SPT ratio was increased (P ＜ 0.01).Yueju pill took the effects on the third day after a single administration.The phosphorylation of CREB (p-CREB) in MPP+ induced PC12 cells was decreased in comparison with the model group,while the expression of p-CREB was up-regulated with the administration of Yueju pill (P ＜ 0.01).In conclusion,DPD was quickly mitigated after the treatment of Yueju pill,the activation of CREB signaling pathway and its neuroprotective effects may be the mechanism behind it.

Major depression is a public health problem that seriously harms individuals and the society.But one of the major shortcomings of mainstream antidepressant is the delayed onset.Recent series of studies demonstrated that,from a variety of animal models and clinical studies,classic stagnation-removing formula Yue-Ju (Y J) pill has the advantage in rapid antidepressant efficacy,which is similar to the prototype drug ketamine.It has the mechanism of rapid and sustained enhancement of neural plasticity and individual difference in response to YJ pill.The evidence of Gardenia jasminoides (Zhi-Zi) as the monarch component of YJ pill's rapid antidepressant action has also been revealed.The further in-depth research on rapid antidepressant traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is important for providing the scientific and reliable TCM strategies to treat depression.

OBJECTIVETo understand the smoking-attributed mortality by inclusion of smoking information into all causes of death surveillance.

METHODSSince 2010, the information about smoking status, smoking history and the number of cigarettes smoked daily had been added in death surveillance system. The measures of training, supervision, check, sampling survey and telephone verifying were taken to increase death reporting rate and reduce data missing rate and underreporting rate. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify risk factors for smoking-attributed mortality.

RESULTSDuring the study period (2010-2014), the annual death reporting rates ranged from 6.5‰ to 7.0‰. The reporting rates of smoking status, smoking history and the number of cigarettes smoked daily were 95.53%, 98.63% and 98.58%, respectively. Compared with the nonsmokers, the RR of males was 1.38 (1.33-1.43) for all causes of death and 3.07 (2.91-3.24) for lung cancer due to smoking, the RR of females was 1.46 (1.39-1.54) for all causes of death and 4.07 (3.81-4.35) for lung cancer due to smoking, respectively.

CONCLUSIONThe study of smoking attributed mortality can be developed with less investment by using the stable and effective all causes of death surveillance system in Tianjin.
