Objective:
To explore the impact of household tobacco smoke exposure on adolescents attempted smoking behavior, so as to provide a reference for tobacco control policy formulation and evaluation.
Methods:
From September to November 2023, a stratified cluster random sampling method was employed to select 7 841 middle and high school students from 10 monitoring sites (districts/counties) in Beijing for a questionnaire survey. Rao-Scott Chi square test was used to assess differences in proportions across subgroups, and complex sampling design based multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the influence of parental smoking and secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure at home on adolescents attempted smoking behavior.
Results:
About 47.17% of adolescents reported to have at least one parent smoked, with 42.36% reported of having only the father smoked, 0.73% reported of having only the mother smoked, and 4.08% reported of having both parents smoked. About 34.66% of middle and high school students were reported SHS exposure at home in the past 7 days, with 10.98%, 4.79% and 18.89% reported SHS exposure for 1-2, 3-4 and 5-7 days. Compared to adolescents with non smoking parents, those with a smoking father or both smoking parents had higher rates of attempted smoking [ OR (95% CI )=1.45(1.06-1.98), 3.73(2.18-6.37), P < 0.05 ]. Compared to adolescents without SHS exposure at home in the past 7 days, those exposed for 3-4 or 5- 7 days had higher rates of attempted smoking [ OR (95% CI )=2.21(1.27- 3.84 ), 2.46(1.58-3.83), P <0.01].
Conclusions
Household tobacco smoke exposure is associated with adolescent attempted smoking behavior. Parents should quit smoking and prohibit smoking at home to create a smoke free environment for adolescents.

ObjectiveTo investigate the acute effects of compound air pollution on children’s respiratory function. MethodsUsing panel group study design, 223 students in five classes of grade 4 from two primary schools (a, b) in Xuhui and Hongkou districts of Shanghai were randomly selected to measure pulmonary function and exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO). The first three tests were carried out from May to June in 2020, and the fourth test was carried out from September to December in 2021. At the same time, the daily and hourly mean values of PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NO2, O3 and CO was collected from the nearby air quality monitoring points of the two schools during the same period , as well as meteorological monitoring data (temperature, humidity, wind speed and atmospheric pressure). The linear mixed effect model was used to analyze the effects of air pollution on pulmonary function and respiratory inflammation in the summer. ResultsThe results of single pollutant model showed that PM2.5, PM10, SO2 and NO2 were positively correlated with FeNO, and the effect was reflected in lag0, lag1 and lag3 (P<0.05). PM2.5, PM10 and NO2 were negatively correlated with the changes of lung function FEF25%, FEF50%, FEF75%, FeF25%-75%, PEF, FVC, FEV1 and FEV1/FVC, and the effect was reflected in lag0 to lag3 days (P<0.05). The results of the dual pollutant model showed that the concentration changes of SO2 and NO2 were significantly correlated with the decrease of FEV1 when combined with O3 or PM2.5 (P<0.01), and the concentration changes of PM2.5 was significantly correlated with the increase of FeNO when O3, SO2 and NO2 were combined respectively (P<0.01). The effects of the dual pollutant model were greater than the effect of PM2.5 single pollutant model. ConclusionThe health effects of different air pollutants on children’s respiratory tract function indexes in summer are different. The combined effects of two pollutants on the lung function of children increased to different degrees. Although air pollution is light in summer, it still has an impact on children’s respiratory tract function index and inflammation index, and the combined effect of dual pollutants is more significant than that of single pollutant.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of the implementation of Beijing Smoking Control Regulation in 2015 on the smoking prevalence in people aged ≥15 years in Beijing during 2014-2021, and explore factors associated with tobacco use behavior in local population. Methods Using a pooled cross-sectional design, data from Beijing Adult Tobacco Survey in 2014, 2016, 2019 and 2021 (4 surveys) were combined into one dataset. The 4 surveys used same multistage cluster sampling procedure. After complex survey weighting, multiple logistic regression models were constructed to analyze factors influencing smoking status. Results:A total of 8 484, 9 372, 8 534 and 10 551 respondents were included in the surveys in 2014, 2016, 2019 and 2021, respectively. The smoking prevalence rate was 23.4%, 22.3%, 20.3% and 19.9%, respectively, in Beijing residents aged ≥15 years, exhibiting a linear declining trend ( P=0.010). Factors associated with current smoking in men were age 25-44 years ( OR=2.22, 95% CI: 1.68-2.95) and 45-64 years, ( OR=2.64, 95% CI: 2.06-3.39), educational level of high school ( OR=0.69, 95% CI: 0.49-0.95) and undergraduate and above ( OR=0.46, 95% CI: 0.33-0.63), and awareness of smoking causing stroke ( OR=0.71, 95% CI: 0.61-0.81), and awareness of smoking causing lung cancer ( OR=0.53, 95% CI: 0.42-0.66), the differences were significant (all P<0.05). After controlling interfering factors, the current smoking prevalence in men in 2019 ( OR=0.73, 95% CI: 0.63-0.87, P<0.001) and 2021 ( OR=0.72, 95% CI: 0.61-0.88, P<0.001) were significantly lower than that in 2014. Factors associated with current smoking in women were living alone ( OR=1.80, 95% CI: 1.33-2.44), educational level of undergraduate and above ( OR=0.43, 95% CI: 0.27-0.69), other occupations except doctor and teacher ( OR=8.54, 95% CI: 2.80-26.02) or being retired/unemployed ( OR=9.39, 95% CI: 3.19-27.65), and awareness of smoking causing cardiovascular events ( OR=0.58, 95% CI: 0.39-0.84), and awareness of smoking causing lung cancer ( OR=0.54, 95% CI: 0.35-0.83), the differences were significant (all P<0.05). No significant change in smoking status in women was found in 4 surveys. Conclusions:The smoking prevalence rate in men in Beijing has declined since the implementation of Beijing Smoking Control Regulation 5 years, indicating the effectiveness of legislative approach in tobacco control. Socio-demographic factors and the awareness level of tobacco harm could influence smoking status. Future tobacco control programs should target the people with lower education level, young men, women living alone, and those with occupations other than teachers/doctors or the unemployed/retired and include more comprehensive health education.

Objective:To understand the commercial homosexual behavior characteristics of men who have sex with men (MSM) and the factors associated with unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) in this population, and provide reference for the development of intervention strategy in MSM.Methods:Men who were aged ≥16 years and had anal sex with men in the past 6 months were recruited through internet in Fuzhou from January to December 2023 for a cross-sectional study with a sample size of 283. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors associated with the incidence of UAI in the past 6 months in MSM. The SPSS 25.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results:In 4 484 MSM, the proportion of those with commercial homosexual behaviors was 9.59% (430/4 484), the average age was (27.00±9.07) years. In the MSM with commercial homosexual behaviors, 70.00% (301/430) had anal sex in the past one week, and 43.02% (185/430) had anal sex with more than 10 partners in the past 6 months. The proportion of MSM with UAI was 75.58% (325/430) in the past 6 months. The results of multivariate analysis showed showed that in MSM with commercial homosexual behaviors in the past 6 months, compared with those who were students, age >18 years at the first sexual intercourse, had not anal sex in the past one week, and anal sex with less than 10 partners in the past 6 months, the risk for UAI was higher in those who were not students (a OR=1.99,95% CI:1.18-3.36), those who were aged ≤18 years at first sexual intercourse sex (a OR=2.04,95% CI:1.26-3.29), those who had anal sex in the past one week (a OR=2.04,95% CI:1.25-3.33), and those who had anal sex with more than 10 partners in the past 6 months (a OR=1.97,95% CI:1.16-3.35). Conclusions:The risk for UAI was high in MSM with commercial homosexual behaviors in Fuzhou, so it is necessary to improve the awareness of safe sex and promote sex with regular partners and condom use, and preventing drug abuse in MSM.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and drug resistance of Elizabethkingia meningoseptica (EM) nosocomial infection, so as to provide evidence for prevention of EM nosocomial infection and guiding the rational use of antibiotics. Methods A retrospective study was conducted of 67 patients with EM infection in a tertiary hospital from January 2021 to December 2022. The infective characteristics and drug resistance were analyzed. Results The cohort of 67 EM-infected patients was predominantly males aged ≥60 years, with the most frequent source being the first district of the intensive care unit (ICU), followed by the respiratory medicine and emergency department (19.40%, 13/67). The specimens were mainly isolated from respiratory tract (86.57%, 58/67), of which sputum accounted for 49.25% (33/67), and alveolar lavage fluid accounted for 37.31% (25/67). The majority of EM infections occurred in patients with pre-existing respiratory conditions (49.25%, 33/67), who generally experienced prolonged hospital stays and underwent invasive procedures, such as mechanical ventilation 94.03% (63/67), urinary catheterization (95.52%, 64/67), and central venous catheterization (97.01%, 65/67). Post-treatment, the improved rate of the 67 patients was 40.30% (27/67). Susceptibility testing demonstrated a high resistance rate of EM to cefoperazone-sulbactam, 98.39% (61/62), contrasted by significant susceptibility to compound trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX)/cotrimoxazole, doxycycline, minocycline, and piperacillin-tazobactam, with susceptibility rates exceeding 90%. Conclusions The patients infected with EM were almost elderly men with certain underlying diseases, experienced prolonged hospital stays, and had a history of invasive operations. The specimens of EM were mainly from Intensive Care Unit and isolated from respiratory tract. The strain showed high resistance to cefoperazone-sulbactam, whereas it remained highly susceptible to cotrimoxazole, doxycycline, minocycline and piperacillin-tazobactam, which may be considered as first-line treatment options.

Objective:To assess the radiation dose and clinical value of "one-stop" whole-brain CT perfusion (CTP) imaging in the evaluation of collateral circulation for patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS), regarding the digital subtraction angiography (DSA) as the reference.Methods:This retrospective study included 32 AIS patients, for whom both CTP and DSA were obtained <24 h since onset. All CTP scans were acquired in whole-brain volume perfusion mode using a 320-row CT with the phase-specific settings of tube currents to optimize the image quality of CTA images, where multiple-phase (mp) CTA images were extracted from the CTP data in post-processing. The volume CT dose index (CTDI vol), dose length product (DLP), and effective dose were compared to those reported in previous studies. The perfusion parameters of the infarct lesions and their contralateral regions were compared using the paired t-tests. One radiologist scored the collateral circulation with only the CTP and with the CTP plus mp-CTA using a 5-point scale. Another radiologist performed the same evaluation on the DSA. The diagnostic accuracy was calculated referring to the result based on DSA. The scores were analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient. The agreement of scores was quantified with the Kappa test. Results:The mean CTDI vol was 184.18 mGy, which was comparable to the result of a previous study (184.19 mGy), and the mean effective dose was reduced 39% compared to that reported in the literature for combined CTP and CTA scanning (6.1 vs 10 mSv). There were statistically significant differences in cerebral blood volume (CBV), cerebral blood flow (CBF), mean transit time (MTT), transit time to peak (TTP), and time-to-maximum (Tmax) between the infarct lesions and their contralateral regions ( P<0.01). The scores between CTP and DSA were significantly correlated ( r=0.95, P<0.01), as well as the scores between CTP plus mp-CTA and DSA ( r=0.98, P<0.01). The Kappa value was 0.64 ( t=7.53, P<0.01) between CTP and DSA, while it increased to 0.88 ( t=9.99, P<0.01) for CTP plus mp-CTA. With the result of DSA as a reference, the diagnostic accuracy was 71.9% and 90.6% for CTP and CTP plus mp-CTA, respectively. Conclusions:The "one-stop" whole-brain CTP imaging with phase-specific settings of tube currents can provide reliable CTP and multiple-phase CTA images simultaneously, which could reasonably reduce the radiation dose. Combined use of multi-phase CTA and CT perfusion improves the diagnostic accuracy of collateral circulation in AIS patients.

Objective:
To analyze the second hand smoke exposure and related factors of nonsmoking junior middle school students in Beijing, so as to provide a data support for formulating tobacco control measures.
Methods:
The multistage cluster random sampling method was used to select junior middle school students in Beijing. The valid data of 4 494, 4 915 and 3 792 nonsmoking middle school students were obtained from three waves of youth tobacco epidemic surveillance in 2013 (September to October), 2019 (August to November) and 2021 (September to December) wave, respectively. The information was collected by the national youth tobacco epidemic surveillance questionnaire. The complex sampling data analysis module of SPSS 21.0 was used to descriptive analysis and multivariate Logistic regression.
Results:
The proportions of secondhand smoke exposure of nonsmoking junior middle school students in the four types of places in the past 7 days in 2013, 2019 and 2021 in Beijing were 76.4%, 71.4% and 65.7%, respectively, with statistically significant differences (χ2=126.10, P<0.01). The proportions of that found someone smoking in the campus in the three waves of survey were 34.7%, 27.9% and 21.1% (χ2=209.78), the proportion of that found teachers smoking daily were 2.7%, 1.8% and 1.3% (χ2=22.14) (P<0.01), respectively. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed both parents smoking (OR=8.47, 95%CI=4.36-16.48), father smoking (OR=3.51, 95%CI=2.75-4.49), and friends smoking (OR=1.88, 95%CI=1.39-2.55) were the influencing factors of secondhand smoke exposure in four types of places of nonsmoking junior middle school students in 2013. Both parents smoking (OR=2.37, 95%CI=1.33-4.22), father smoking (OR=2.80, 95%CI=2.33-3.37), friends smoking (OR=2.24, 95%CI=1.71-2.92), and teaching the tobacco hazards in class (OR=0.77, 95%CI=0.64-0.93) were the influencing factors of secondhand smoke exposure in four types of places for nonsmoking middle school students in 2019. Both parents smoking (OR=3.93, 95%CI=2.29-6.75), fathers smoking (OR=3.30, 95%CI=2.72-3.99), and teaching the tobacco hazards in the class (OR=0.81, 95%CI=0.68-0.97) were the influential factor of secondhand smoke exposure in four types of places of nonsmoking junior middle school students in 2021 (P<0.05).
Conclusions
The secondhand smoke exposure of nonsmoking middle school students in Beijing has improved, but still is a high level. It is necessary to take corresponding measures to effectively protect nonsmoking junior middle school students from the harm of secondhand smoke.
