Objective: To investigate smoking attitudes and behaviors among middle school students in Shijingshan District, Beijing Municipality, so as to provide the evidence for implementing tobacco control interventions for students. Methods: In 2019 and 2023, students from three junior high schools, two senior high schools and one vocational high school in Shijingshan District were selected using a multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method. Data of basic information, smoking attitudes, cigarette use, e-cigarette use and secondhand smoke exposure were collected using questionnaire surveys. The changes in smoking attitudes and behaviors among middle school students between the two surveys were analyzed. Results: A total of 671 students were surveyed in 2019, including 343 males (51.12%) and 328 females (48.88%). A total of 759 students were surveyed in 2023, including 352 males (46.38%) and 407 females (53.62%). The proportion of students who thought that smoking made young people more attractive in 2023 was 3.29%, lower than 6.56% in 2019 (P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the proportions of those who believed that secondhand smoke was definitely harmful, those who thought that quitting smoking was definitely difficult, and those who felt that smoking in social situations made them more comfortable between 2019 and 2023 (all P>0.05). In 2023, the proportions of current smoking rate and the attempted smoking rate were 0.66% and 5.53%, respectively, which were lower than 2.24% and 8.94% in 2019 (both P<0.05). The awareness rate of electronic cigarettes was 96.18% in 2023, higher than 88.97% in 2019 (P<0.05). The usage rate of electronic cigarettes was 5.01% in 2023, lower than 10.28% in 2019 (P<0.05). The proportion of exposure to secondhand smoke in family and public places was 73.25% in 2023, higher than 66.77% in 2019 (P<0.05). The proportion of those who saw someone smoking on campus within the past 30 days was 15.81% in 2023, lower than 29.96% in 2019 (P<0.05). Conclusions Compared with 2019, the smoking behaviors of middle school students in Shijingshan District decreased in 2023, and the awareness rate of electronic cigarettes and the proportion of secondhand smoke exposure in family and public places increased. Health education should be strengthened.

Objective To analyze the clinicopathological features, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of bronchiolar adenoma (BA) with primary lung cancer. Methods Data of 17 BA patients complicated with primary lung cancer in Dalian University Affiliated Xinhua Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were collected, and the clinical data, histopathological features and immunohistochemical features were summarized. Results 17 patients included 7 males and 10 females, with 49-82 years old. There were 2 squamous cell carcinoma and 15 adenocarcinoma. BA was mostly nodular, without capsule. It had a clear boundary with the surrounding lung tissue, with a major diameter of 0.3-1.5 cm. The section of BA was gray-white, gray-red, gray-brown, with medium-soft texture, and a few had obvious mucus. Microscopically, it was composed of luminal cell layer and basal cell layer, and luminal cells contain mucus cells, ciliated cells, cubic cells and columnar cells. According to the composition of luminal cells, BAs were divided into proximal type and distal type. There were 5 proximal type and 12 distal type, including 1 case of atypical distal BA. Immunohistochemistry results showed that in typical BAs, CK5/6, p63 and p40 were positive in basal cells, thyroid transcription factor-1 was positive in luminal cells and basal cells, and the proliferation index of Ki-67 was 1%. Conclusions BA is a benign tumor, and is a bilayer structure mainly composed of luminal cells and basal cells. However, when the absence or discontinuity of basal cells, BA is easily misdiagnosed as malignancy, which should be highly vigilant.

Background Pesticide exposure may impact the reproductive health of women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART). However, data on pesticide exposure levels in women undergoing ART in China are scarce, and current research on influencing factors is limited. Objective To evaluate the preconceptional pesticide exposure levels and identify potential determinants among women undergoing ART. Methods This study was designed as a cross-sectional survey and recruited 508 women undergoing ART from July 2017 to December 2018 at the fertility clinic of the International Peace Maternity and Child Health Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. Gas chromatography/liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to determine the metabolite concentrations of organophosphate pesticides (OPs), pyrethroid pesticides (PYRs), and neonicotinoid pesticides (NEOs) in urine. The sum of molar concentrations of the three pesticide classes (∑₂OPs, ∑₂PYRs, and ∑₂NEOs) were calculated. A questionnaire was used to collect demographic characteristics, dietary habits, and behavioral information. Multiple linear regression was employed to analyze the associations of demographic characteristics, dietary habits, and behavioral variables with the concentrations of pesticide metabolites in urine among the participants. Results The median creatinine-adjusted concentrations of ∑₂OPs, ∑₂PYRs, and ∑₂NEOs in this study were 419.77, 2.95, and 20.36 nmol·g⁻¹, respectively. The multiple linear regression results showed that the urinary concentration of ∑₂OPs was 42.88% higher in the participants with daily vegetable intake than in those who consumed vegetables ≤3 d per week (P<0.05), and the urinary concentration of ∑₂PYRs was 37.24% higher in the participants with daily fruit intake than in those who consumed fruits ≤3 d per week (P<0.01). Similarly, the urinary concentrations of ∑₂NEOs were 24.51% and 29.30% higher in the participants who consumed fruits daily and 4-6 d per week, respectively, than in those who consumed fruits ≤3 d per week (P<0.05). Besides, we also found that the urinary concentration of ∑₂PYRs was negatively correlated with body mass index (BMI) in the participants (P<0.05). Furthermore, the urinary concentration of ∑₂NEOs was not only positively correlated with age (P<0.05), but also significantly associated with pet ownership and infertility causes among the participants. Specifically, the participants who continued to own pets after conception had a 30.11% higher urinary concentration of ∑₂NEOs than those who never owned pets (P<0.05), and the participants with infertility due to female factors had a 24.10% lower urinary concentration of ∑₂NEOs than those who received ART treatment for infertility caused by male factors (P<0.05). Conclusion The women undergoing ART in Shanghai are widely exposed to pesticides. Age, BMI, frequency of vegetable and fruit intake, pet ownership, and infertility causes may be related to the pesticide exposure levels in this population. However, more human data are needed to confirm these findings.

Objective:To report the results of national surveillance on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical Gram-negative bacteria isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2022.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacteria from blood cultures in member hospitals of national bloodstream infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System（BRICS）were collected during January 2022 to December 2022. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software were used to analyze the data.Results:During the study period，9 035 strains of Gram-negative bacteria were collected from 51 hospitals，of which 7 895（87.4%）were Enterobacteriaceae and 1 140（12.6%）were non-fermenting bacteria. The top 5 bacterial species were Escherichia coli（ n=4 510，49.9%）， Klebsiella pneumoniae（ n=2 340，25.9%）， Pseudomonas aeruginosa（ n=534，5.9%）， Acinetobacter baumannii complex（ n=405，4.5%）and Enterobacter cloacae（ n=327，3.6%）. The ESBLs-producing rates in Escherichia coli， Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus spp. were 47.1%（2 095/4 452），21.0%（427/2 033）and 41.1%（58/141），respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli（CREC）and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae（CRKP）were 1.3%（58/4 510）and 13.1%（307/2 340）；62.1%（36/58）and 9.8%（30/307）of CREC and CRKP were resistant to ceftazidime/avibactam combination，respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii（CRAB）complex was 59.5%（241/405），while less than 5% of Acinetobacter baumannii complex was resistant to tigecycline and polymyxin B. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa（CRPA）was 18.4%（98/534）. There were differences in the composition ratio of Gram-negative bacteria in bloodstream infections and the prevalence of main Gram-negative bacteria resistance among different regions，with statistically significant differences in the prevalence of CRKP and CRPA（ χ2=20.489 and 20.252， P<0.001）. The prevalence of CREC，CRKP，CRPA，CRAB，ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were higher in provinicial hospitals than those in municipal hospitals（ χ2=11.953，81.183，10.404，5.915，12.415 and 6.459， P<0.01 or <0.05），while the prevalence of CRPA was higher in economically developed regions（per capita GDP ≥ 92 059 Yuan）than that in economically less-developed regions（per capita GDP <92 059 Yuan）（ χ2=6.240， P=0.012）. Conclusions:The proportion of Gram-negative bacteria in bloodstream infections shows an increasing trend，and Escherichia coli is ranked in the top，while the trend of CRKP decreases continuously with time. Decreasing trends are noted in ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Low prevalence of carbapenem resistance in Escherichia coli and high prevalence in CRAB complex have been observed. The composition ratio and antibacterial spectrum of bloodstream infections in different regions of China are slightly different，and the proportion of main drug resistant bacteria in provincial hospitals is higher than those in municipal hospitals.

Objective To preliminarily explore the phenomenon and mechanism of apoptosis induced by microse-cond pulsed electric field in hepatocellular carcinoma cells HepG2.Methods CCK-8 was used to test the effects of microsecond pulsed electric fields with different parameters on the proliferation of human hepatocellular carcino-ma cells HepG2 and human normal hepatocytes L-O2.The effects of microsecond pulsed electric field ablation on HepG2 cell apoptosis under different electric field intensities were observed by flow cytometry;morphological chan-ges of ablated HepG2 cells were observed by transmission electron microscopy;differentially expressed genes be-tween ablated and control cells were screened by transcriptome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis,and the RNA and protein expression of differentially expressed genes in HepG2 cells after pulse ablation was verified by quantitative real-time PCR(qPCR)and Western blot.Results CCK-8 experiments showed the proliferative and inhibitory abilities of microsecond pulsed electric field ablation on hepatocellular carcinoma cells HepG2 and human hepatocytes L-O2 increased gradually with the increase of electric field intensity.However,there was no significant difference in the ablation ability of microsecond pulsed electric field between HepG2 cell and L-O2 cell.When the voltage was increased to 1 600 V/cm,the microsecond pulsed electric field significantly induced apoptosis in HepG2 cells compared to control group,with an apoptosis cells ratio of nearly 80％(P＜0.000 1).Using trans-mission electron microscopy,it was found that the HepG2 cell membrane was fragmented,the mitochondria were ir-regular in morphology and typical apoptotic vesicles appeared after microsecond pulsed electric field ablation.Tran-scriptomics analysis showed the major genes revealed to be involved in microsecond pulse ablation were thousand and one amino acid protein kinase 1(TAOK1),frizzled protein family receptor 3(FZD3),calpain 10(CAPN10),matrix metalloproteinase 9(MMP-9),and transforming growth factor β-1-induced transcript(TGFB1)and qPCR analysis showed that the differentially expressed genes were mainly involved in the regulation of RNA polymerase Ⅱ,signaling,and apoptosis after ablation of HepG2 cells by microsecond pulses at 1 600 V/cm,the RNA expression levels of TAOK1(P＜0.05),FZD3(P＜0.01)were significantly up-regulated,and the RNA expression levels of CAPN10(P＜0.001),MMP-9(P＜0.01),and TGFB1(P＜0.05)were significantly reduced in HepG2 cells.Western blot experiments further confirmed that TAOK1 and FZD3 showed an increase in expression levels after microsecond pulse treatment,while CAPN10,MMP-9 and TGFB1 showed a down-regulation of expression levels.Conclusion Microsecond pulsed electric field ablation can effectively promote apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells,and genes such as CAPN10,FZD3 may be involved in the regulation of ap-optosis of hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells promoted by microsecond pulsed ablation.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) diseases are common clinical conditions. The number of patients with TMJ diseases is large, and the etiology, epidemiology, disease spectrum, and treatment of the disease remain controversial and unknown. To understand and master the current situation of the occurrence, development and prevention of TMJ diseases, as well as to identify the patterns in etiology, incidence, drug sensitivity, and prognosis is crucial for alleviating patients′suffering.This will facilitate in-depth medical research, effective disease prevention measures, and the formulation of corresponding health policies. Cohort construction and research has an irreplaceable role in precise disease prevention and significant improvement in diagnosis and treatment levels. Large-scale cohort studies are needed to explore the relationship between potential risk factors and outcomes of TMJ diseases, and to observe disease prognoses through long-term follw-ups. The consensus aims to establish a standard conceptual frame work for a cohort study on patients with TMJ disease while providing ideas for cohort data standards to this condition. TMJ disease cohort data consists of both common data standards applicable to all specific disease cohorts as well as disease-specific data standards. Common data were available for each specific disease cohort. By integrating different cohort research resources, standard problems or study variables can be unified. Long-term follow-up can be performed using consistent definitions and criteria across different projects for better core data collection. It is hoped that this consensus will be facilitate the development cohort studies of TMJ diseases.
