Objective: To investigate the exposure to television advertising of sugar sweetened beverages and the use of persuasive marketing techniques among children and adolescents in Beijing, so as to provide evidence for reduing childrens intake of sugar sweetened beverages. Methods: From October 19, 2020 to November 16, 2021, 32 days were randomly selected. The top four popular channels of children and adolescents aged 3-18 years were defined. Each channel was monitored from 6:00:00 to 23:59:59 for each date. A total of 2 304 h was recorded. Advertisements involving sugar sweetened beverages broadcast before, during or after the program were included. The frequency and the use of persuasive marketing techniques were analyzed. Results: A total of 1 237 advertisements for sugar sweetened beverages were included, of which 50.93% were dairy beverages, 28.38% were teabased beverages, and 19.48% were vegetable protein beverages. The average frequency of sugar sweetened beverages advertisements on every channel was (0.62±1.29)piece/h. The frequency of sugar sweetened beverages advertisements on every local channel [(1.04±1.35)piece/h] and childrens channel [(1.11±1.61)piece/h] was separately higher than every national channel [(0.48±1.24)piece/h] and general channel [(0.12±0.48)piece/h] (t=-14.05, 31.64, P<0.01). There were seasonal differences in television advertising of sugar sweetened beverages, and were more frequent during lunch and dinner times. The most frequently used persuasive marketing techniques were "images of children" (74.54%), "nutritional message" (61.76%), "product composition details" (58.61%), "nutrition claim" (57.24%), and "nutrition function claim or other function claim" (53.11%). Conclusions Children and adolescents are often exposed to television advertisement of sugar sweetened beverages on childrens channels and during meal times. There is an urgent need to formulate relevant policies to regulate the marketing of sugar sweetened beverages advertisement and reduce children and adolescents intake.

Objective: To examine the exposure to television advertising of unhealthy food among children and adolescents in Beijing, in order to provide a basis for the formulation of marketing management policies with unhealthy food. Methods: Four weekdays and four weekend days were randomly selected during October 19, 2020 to January 17, 2021, excluding holidays and school holidays. The top five popular channels of children and adolescents aged 3 to 18 years old were selected. A total of 720 hours was included for coding and analysis. World Health Organization Nutrient Profile Model for the Western Pacific Region was used to classify food and assess the health level. Results: A total of 13 864 advertisings (ads) was monitored, 38.8% (5 376) of which were food ads. Furthermore, 49.9% (2 680) of food ads were unhealthy food ads, with a frequency of 2.00 per hour per channel. The top five most frequent food ads were infant formula for 12-36 months (26.7%), cheese (16.7%), savory snacks (12.2%), milk drinks (10.5%) and chocolate and candy (6.0%). The most frequently used marketing strategies for unhealthy food ads were brand benefit claims (96.8%) and promotional characters (67.9%). Conclusion Children and adolescents in Beijing are highly exposed to TV marketing of unhealthy foods. Marketing strategies such as brand benefit claims and promotional characters are employed to boost the impact of unhealthy food ads. There is an urgent need to introduce relevant policies to regulate TV marketing of unhealthy foods.

Transbronchil biopsy has the characteristic of less trauma and quick recovery compared to percutaneous aspiration biopsy. In order to automate this procedure, it requires the development of a robotic surgical system that combines electromagnetic navigation and flexible endoscope. The robotic surgical system introduced herein consists of flexible endoscope, remote-control handle, electromagnetic navigation and dexterous manipulators. The robotic system supports lung bronchial model segmentation and reconstruction, automatic bronchial path planning, real-time navigation and visual biopsy. In the control of the endoscopic catheter, an elasticity compensation algorithm was proposed to improve the location accuracy of the catheter and operational efficiency. Clinical trials proved that the robotic system had high positioning accuracy, was intuitive to operate, and could improve the biopsy efficiency, shorten the learning time, reduce the burden of surgical operations, and lower radiation exposure and infection rate.

Objective:To investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of pulse oximetry among pediatric healthcare providers in China and analyze the factor influencing the KAP.Methods:A self-developed questionnaire was used for an online research on the KAP of 11 849 pediatric healthcare providers from 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities of China from March 11 to 14, 2022.The factors influencing the KAP of pulse oximetry among pediatric healthcare providers were examined by Logistic regression. Results:The scores of KAP, of pulse oximetry were 5.57±0.96, 11.24±1.25 and 11.19±4.54, respectively.The corresponding scoring rates were 69.61%, 74.95%, and 55.99%, respectively. Logistic regression results showed that the gender and working years of pediatric healthcare providers, the region they were located, and whether their medical institution was equipped with pulse oximeters were the main factors affecting the knowledge score (all P<0.05). Main factors influencing the attitude score of pediatric healthcare providers included their knowledge score, gender, educational background, working years, region, medical institution level, and whether the medical institution was equipped with pulse oximeters (all P<0.05). For the practice score, the main influencing factors were the knowledge score, gender, age, and whether the medi-cal institution was equipped with pulse oximeters (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Chinese pediatric healthcare providers need to further improve their knowledge about and attitudes towards pulse oximetry.Pulse oximeters are evidently under-used.It is urgent to formulate policies or guidelines, strengthen education and training, improve knowledge and attitudes, equip more institutions with pulse oximeters, and popularize their application in medical institutions.

Objective:To investigate the preference for Front-of-Pack Labeling (FOP) and its association with the understanding of the Nutrition Facts Panel among Chinese residents.Methods:A multi-stage sampling strategy was adopted to select 3 002 people aged between 18 and 70 years old from the eastern region of China (Beijing, Jiangsu Province, Guangdong Province), the northeast region (Heilongjiang Province), the central region (Henan Province) and the western region (Sichuan Province) from July 2020 to March 2021. Socio-demographic characteristics of participants and their understanding of the Nutrition Facts Panel and preference for FOP were collected. The χ2 test was conducted to compare the preference for FOP in different groups of population, and multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the association between the preference for FOP and the understanding of the Nutrition Facts Panel. Results:The mean age of 3 002 participants was (42.3±13.4) years, of which 1 914 (63.8%) were females and 69.3% could not understand the Nutrition Facts Panel. About 2 458 respondents (81.9%) suggested that FOP could be promoted. The top three nutrients that should be labeled were sugar (68.4%), salt (68.2%) and total fat (62.4%). The number of participants who believed that the Multiple Traffic Lights (MTL) could be easier to help consumers to quickly choose healthy food, attract attention and provide the most needed information was 1 064 (35.4%), 1 026 (34.2%) and 1 140 (38.0%), respectively. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that, compared with the Guideline Daily Amount (GDA) system, participants who could not understand the Nutrition Facts Panel preferred (1) Nutri-Score, Warning labels, and Health logos: Smart Choice in terms of"Which format of FOP could quickly help you choose food more easily?"[ OR (95% CI): 2.21 (1.62-3.02), 1.64 (1.22-2.22), 1.79 (1.31-2.45), respectively]; (2) Nutri-Score, Warning labels, and Health logos: Smart Choice in terms of"Which format of FOP could attract your attention the most?"[ OR (95% CI): 2.62 (1.92-3.59), 1.96 (1.45-2.66), 2.25 (1.66-3.04), respectively]; and (3) Nutri-Score, Warning labels, and Health logos: Smart Choice in terms of"Which format of FOP could provide you with the most needed information?"[ OR (95% CI): 2.33 (1.70-3.21), 2.21 (1.66-2.95), 2.01 (1.50-2.71), respectively]. Conclusion:The residents from six provinces in China have a supportive attitude towards FOP. The interpretive FOP with color information, specific nutrient information and summary indicator can be launched. The nutrition information of sugar, salt and total fat could be prioritized to be labeled on the FOP.

Objective:To analyze the changes of cerebral perfusion level and its relationship with cognitive impairment in patients with first anterior circulation acute ischemic post-stroke cognitive impairment.Methods:From March 2018 to March 2020, 70 patients with acute ischemic stroke in the first anterior circulation who were treated in the Department of Neurology of Kailuan General Hospital affiliated to North China University of Technology and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were retrospectively analyzed.The mini-mental state examination was used to divide 36 cases of post-stroke cognitive impairment group and 34 cases of post-stroke cognitive impairment group.All the selected patients were examined by computed tomography(CT) and diffusion-weighted MR imaging(MRI-DWI) to determine the diagnosis and distribution of lesions; detection of cerebral artery stenosis by MRA; apply 3D pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling(3D-pCASL) perfusion imaging, set the post label delay 1.5 s and 2.5 s to detect cerebral perfusion level.Results:(1)There was no statistical significance between the two groups in the comparison of basic clinical data.(all P>0.05). (2) The proportion of patients with middle cerebral artery, anterior cerebral artery and internal carotid artery ≥1 or ≥2 moderate and severe stenosis / occlusion on the focal side in the post-stroke cognitive impairment group (91.67%(33/36), 33.33%(12/36)) was higher than that in the post-stroke non-cognitive impairment group (23.53%(8/34), 8.82%(3/34)); the proportion of patients with moderate and severe stenosis / occlusion of MCA and ICA on the focal side in the post-stroke cognitive impairment group (69.44%(25/36), 44.44%(16/36)) was higher than that in the post-stroke cognitive impairment group (14.71%(5/34), 11.76%(4/34)), and the difference was statistically significant(χ 2 values were 33.455, 6.239, 21.394, 9.150, all P<0.05). (3) The proportion of patients with ≥ 2 cerebral infarction lesions in the post-stroke cognitive impairment group (61.1%(22/36))was higher than that in the post-stroke cognitive impairment group (38.03%(27/71))than that in the non-stroke group (20.6%(7/34), 19.05%(8/42)), and the difference was statistically significant(χ 2=11.833, 4.447, all P<0.05). PLD 2.5 s, the CBF value of frontal lobe infarction in post-stroke cognitive impairment group((31.516±8.333) mL/(100 g·min)) was lower than that in post-stroke non-cognitive impairment group((45.442±8.281) mL/(100 g·min)), the difference was statistically significant( t=3.835, P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the CBF value of PLD 2.5 s frontal infarction lesion was positively correlated with MMSE score( r=0.738, P<0.05). (4) The proportion of patients with ≥ 1 or ≥ 2 hypoperfusion areas (frontal lobe, temporal lobe, parietal lobe) on the focal side of PLD 1.5 s and 2.5 s after stroke (88.89%(32/36), 88.89%(32/36), 77.78%(28/36), 66.67%(24/36)) were higher than those without cognitive impairment after stroke (67.65%(23/34), 8.82%(3/34), 29.41%(10/34), 0), the difference was statistically significant(χ 2 values were 4.686, 44.837, 16.483, 34.493, all P<0.05). At PLD 1.5 s, CBF values of frontal lobe and parietal lobe in cerebral hypoperfusion area ((20.260±5.266) mL/(100 g·min), (17.664±3.947) mL/(100 g·min)) in patients with cognitive impairment after stroke were lower than those in patients without cognitive impairment ((33.442±10.563) mL/(100 g·min), (28.071±6.913) mL/(100 g·min)), the difference was statistically significant( t values were 3.392, 6.225, all P<0.05), at PLD 2.5 s, the CBF value after compensatory perfusion of frontal lobe, parietal lobe and temporal lobe in the post-stroke cognitive impairment group ((37.732±8.355) mL/(100 g·min), (32.942±6.459) mL/(100 g·min), (39.282±7.443) mL/(100 g·min)) was lower than that in the non cognitive impairment Group ((57.189±9.965) mL/(100 g·min), (52.415±7.017) mL/(100 g·min), (49.258±8.912) mL/(100 g·min)), the difference was statistically significant( t values were 5.443, 10.227, 2.950, all P<0.05). Correlation analysis found that the CBF value of the frontal lobe and parietal lobe of the PLD 1.5 s lesion area and the CBF value of the PLD 2.5 s hypoperfusion brain area after the perfusion of the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, and temporal lobe were positively correlated with the MMSE score( r values were 0.693, 0.675, 0.823, 0.799, 0.545, all P<0.05). Conclusion:Patients with first anterior circulation acute ischemic post-stroke cognitive impairment often have extensive hypoperfusion in the peripheral cerebral region, the occurrence of cognitive impairment after the first anterior circulation acute ischemic post-stroke cognitive impairment is related to the decrease of the perfusion level of the infarct lesion and the brain area around the lesion.

Objective:To investigate the levels of periphreal blood free carnitine and amino acids in healthy pregnant women in the third trimester and their association with maternal, fetal, and neonatal cardiac function and structure.Methods:This prospective descriptive study included healthy singleton pregnancies who underwent routine obstetric examination and delivered in two district maternal and child health hospitals (one in the urban and one in the suburb an area) in Beijing from June 2017 to February 2018. All recruiters had serology Down's syndrome screening test at (18±1) gestational weeks. Besides measurement of amino acids and free carnitine levels in whole blood and urine samples by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, all cases underwent maternal and fetal echocardiography at (35±1) weeks of gestation. And neonatal echocardiography was performed after delivery to assess the heart function and structure. Antenatal factors were also collected, including maternal education background, age at first marriage and conception, gravidity, and folic acid supplement in early pregnancy. Statistical analysis was performed using t-test, ANOVA, Chi-square test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and Kappa test. Results:A total of 493 mother-neonate dyads were enrolled in this study. Blood free carnitine levels in the healthy pregnant women in the third trimester ranged from 5.09 to 59.17 μmol/L (reference value: 10.00-50.00 μmol/L) with an average value of (13.03±3.87) μmol/L. None was found with structural abnormalities by cardiac ultrasound, showing an average left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) and end systolic diameter (LVESD) of (45.70±3.08) mm and (29.17±3.12) mm, respectively, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of all cases were over 55%. No cardiac malformation was detected by the third-trimester fetal echocardiography. The average birth weight of the 493 newborns was (3 340±313) g. Those whose birth weight <2 500 g and >4 000 g were accounted for 1.0% (5 cases) and 3.0% (15 cases) with the average maternal blood free carnitine level of (13.25±2.17) μmol/L (10.46-19.21 μmol/L) and (12.64±2.50) μmol/L (8.78-17.73 μmol/L) ( t=0.42, P>0.05). The average LVEDD and LVESD of the 493 newborns were (17.21±1.27) mm and (11.03±1.30) mm, respectively. For the 64 newborns (13.0%) whose LVEF<60%, the maternal blood free carnitine level was (12.93±2.78) μmol/L (7.34-22.13 μmol/L), showing no statistical difference ( t=-0.29, P>0.05) with those 59 neonates (12.0%) whose LVEF over 75% and maternal carnitine level of (13.09±3.24) μmol/L (8.66-27.49 μmol/L). All cases were divided into four groups based on the quartiles of maternal blood free carnitine level and no significant difference in maternal or neonatal LVEDD or LVEF was observed among these groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Blood free carnitine concentration in healthy pregnant women in the third trimester is at the lower limit of normal range, and no significant effect on maternal cardiac function and fetal cardiac structure is seen. However, the effect of low maternal carnitine level in the third trimester on children's myocardial function and whether carnitine should be supplemented in the third trimester are worthy of further investigation with larger sample size.
