2.Related factors and pathway analysis of e-cigarette use behavior among primary and secondary school students in Pudong New Area,Shanghai
Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(6):795-798
Objective:
To examine the prevalence of e-cigarette use and associated factors among primary and secondary school students in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, and to explore the pathways linking harm perception of e-cigarettes, interpersonal social influence, and attitudes toward e-cigarette use with experimentation behavior, in order to provide scientific basis for further optimizing the prevention and control strategies of e-cigarette among adolescents.
Methods:
From September to October 2025, a multi stage cluster random sampling method was used to select 5 144 primary and secondary school students aged 8-19 years from 47 primary and secondary schools in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, to conduct an anonymous questionnaire survey. The questionnaire collected information on e-cigarette use, harm perception of e-cigarette, interpersonal social influence, and attitudes toward e-cigarette use. The Chi-square test was applied to analyze the differences in cigarette and e-cigarette use behavior among primary and secondary school students with different demographic characteristics. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was constructed using Mplus 8.3 software, and the bootstrap method was utilized to test the mediating effects.
Results:
The reported rates of cigarette experimentation, e-cigarette experimentation, and current e-cigarette use among primary and secondary school students were 1.85%, 2.10%, and 0.70%, respectively. Higher reporting rates of e-cigarette experimentation were observed among boys (2.82%), secondary school students aged 16-19 (3.39%), senior high school students (3.05%), and those with weekly pocket money >100 yuan ( 6.11% ) ( χ 2=11.67, 8.61, 8.00, 54.18, all P <0.05). Structural pathway analysis results demonstrated that e-cigarette harm perception positively predicted interpersonal social influence ( β =0.61) and e-cigarette use attitude ( β = 0.53 ), and interpersonal social influence ( β =0.65) and e-cigarette use attitude ( β =0.25) further promoted e-cigarette experimentation behavior among primary and secondary school students (all P <0.01), with interpersonal social influence playing a major mediating role (indirect effect=0.40).
Conclusions
E-cigarette experimentation behavior among primary and secondary school students in Pudong New Area is jointly influenced by multiple psychosocial factors. Intervention strategies should strengthen interpersonal social factors such as family and peers on the basis of health education, thereby constructing a comprehensive prevention and control strategy for e-cigarette use among primary and secondary school students.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism by which Wendantang regulates the silent information regulator 3 (SIRT3)/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) pathway to influence energy metabolism and thereby prevent and treat myocardial ischemia (MI) in a rat model of hyperlipidemia (HL). MethodsThirty SD rats were randomly assigned into five groups: control, model, low-dose (3.702 g·kg-1·d-1) Wendantang, high-dose (7.404 g·kg-1·d-1) Wendantang, and positive control (trimetazidine, 0.006 g·kg-1·d-1), with six rats in each group. The control group was fed normally, while the other groups were fed with a high-fat diet for six weeks for the modeling of HL. Subsequently, the drug intervention groups were administrated with corresponding drugs by gavage, and the control and model groups received an equivalent volume of normal saline for 14 days. One hour after the last gavage, the other groups except the control group were injected intraperitoneally with posterior pituitary hormone (30 U·kg-1) to induce MI. Electrocardiography (ECG) was employed to detect changes in the electrocardiogram. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was performed to observe cardiac pathological changes. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to measure the serum levels of cardiac troponin I(cTnI), myoglobin (MYO), and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB). Colorimetry was used to determine the levels of total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG) in the serum and ATP, malondialdehyde (MDA), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the myocardial tissue. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of SIRT3, PGC-1α, adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and phosphorylated AMPK (p-AMPK) in the myocardial tissue. Real-time PCR was employed to measure the mRNA levels of SIRT3, PGC-1α, and AMPKα in the myocardial tissue. ResultsCompared with the control group, the model group showed significant J-point deviation and elevation in the ECG image, increased heart rate, disarrangement of myocardial fibers with unclear boundaries, elevated levels of CK-MB, cTnI, MYO, TC, and TG (P<0.05, P<0.01), declined levels of SOD and ATP (P<0.01), down-regulated mRNA levels of SIRT3, PGC-1α, and AMPK (P<0.05), and down-regulated protein levels of SIRT3, PGC-1α, and p-AMPK (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the low-dose and high-dose Wendantang groups and the trimetazidine group showed inhibited J-point deviation and elevation in the ECG image, slowed heart rate, reduced inflammatory cell infiltration, alleviated disarrangement of myocardial fibers, declined levels of CK-MB, cTnI, MYO, TC, and TG (P<0.05, P<0.01), elevated level of SOD (P<0.01), up-regulated mRNA levels of SIRT3, PGC-1α, and AMPK (P<0.05, P<0.01) and up-regulated protein levels of SIRT3, PGC-1α, and p-AMPK (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionWendantang can effectively intervene in HL-associated MI in rats by reducing oxidative stress in myocardial cells, alleviating lipid metabolism disorders, and improving myocardial energy metabolism via the SIRT3/PGC-1α signaling pathway.

Objective:This multicenter retrospective study aimed to analyze the clinicopathological features of duodenal adenocarcinoma (DA) and identify prognostic factors for postoperative survival.Methods:Demographic characteristics, clinicopathological features, treatment outcomes and survival of DA patients undergoing surgical treatment at 18 Chinese medical centers from January 2012 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among the 2 056 DA patients included, 46.8% (963) had extra-ampullary DA (EA-DA), and 53.2% (1 093) had peri-ampullary DA (PA-DA). The 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates for patients who underwent radical surgery were 93.2%, 71.0%, and 57.2%, respectively. The median overall survival was 76 months, and the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 65 months. No differences in survival were observed between the laparotomy group and minimally invasive surgery (MIS) group either before or after propensity score matching (OS: 76 vs. 75 months before PSM, P=0.986; OS: 75 vs. 75 months after PSM, P=0.602). Furthermore, there were no significant differences between-group in operation time and postoperative complications ( P>0.05). The MIS group experienced less intraoperative blood loss and shorter hospital stays. The multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that advanced age ( HR=1.43,95% CI:1.18-1.73), elevated carbohydrate antigen 19-9 levels ( HR=1.24,95% CI:1.02-1.51), perineural invasion ( HR=1.44,95% CI:1.14-1.81), vascular invasion ( HR=1.35,95% CI:1.07-1.71), advanced T stage (T3-4 vs. T1-2: HR=1.86,95% CI:1.49-2.31), regional lymph node metastasis ( HR=1.93,95% CI:1.58-2.36), preoperative biliary drainage ( HR=1.26,95% CI:1.04-1.53), intraoperative blood loss ( HR=1.34,95% CI:1.11-1.62), clinically significant postoperative pancreatic fistulas ( HR=1.53,95% CI:1.12-2.09), and postoperative hemorrhage ( HR=1.62,95% CI:1.14-2.29) were independent risk factors for poor prognosis after surgery (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Radical surgery is associated with favorable overall survival among DA patients, and no difference in survival is observed between EA-DA and PA-DA patients. MIS is a reliable alternative for DA treatment.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Fragility fractures represent the final clinical manifestation of osteoporosis and are influenced by a range of risk factors. This article discusses the findings from two large-scale studies utilizing biobank and genomic data to investigate the relationships among obesity, type 2 diabetes and fracture risk, and to explore their implications for health management. The studies suggest that general obesity(defined by body mass index, BMI), central obesity(defined by waist circumference), and peripheral obesity exert different effects on fracture risk in older adults. Specifically, individuals who are overweight based on BMI have a lower fracture risk compared to those with normal weight, whereas an increased waist circumference is associated with a higher fracture risk. Moreover, genetic research indicates that genetically determined type 2 diabetes is not causally associated with increased fracture risk. In contrast, observational studies have reported a higher fracture risk in patients with type 2 diabetes; however, this association becomes non-significant after adjusting for diabetes-related risk factors. These findings highlight that maintaining a moderately elevated BMI may benefit bone formation in the elderly by providing mechanical loading to stimulate bone formation. Additionally, effective management of type 2 diabetes complications is essential for reducing fracture risk, and a certain degree of obesity may confer a protective effect against fractures in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
