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 investigate the relationship between the vaginal microecology and CC chemokine ligand 28(CCL28)expression levels in the vaginal lavage fluid of patients with persistent high-risk human papillomavirus(HR-HPV)infection.Methods A total of 132 patients with HR-HPV infection at Tangshan Maternal and Child Health Hospital from April 2021 to April 2023 were selected as study subjects.Patients with HR-HPV infection were categorized into the single infection group and the persistent infection group according to the review results.The CCL28 and vaginal microecological indicators of the two groups were compared.Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for persistent HR-HPV infection.The dose-response relationship between CCL28 and persistent HR-HPV infection was analyzed by fitting restricted cubic splines with logistic regression.Spearman and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the relationship between CCL28 and vaginal microecological indicators.Results After the re-examination of patients,there were 84(63.64％)cases of single infection and 48(36.36％)cases of persistent infection.The percentage of colony density grade Ⅰ(54.17％vs 16.67％),colony diversity grade Ⅰ(47.92％),pH＞4.5(47.92％),hydrogen peroxide positivity(54.17％),and vaginal microecological imbalance(66.67％),and the level of CCL28[83.63(77.11,99.62)ng/L]in the persistent infection group were higher than those of the single infection group[16.76％,21.43％,15.48％,30.95％,41.67％,71.11(58.12,82.16)ng/L],and the differences were statistically significant(x2/Z=5.064～20.338,all P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that colony density grade Ⅰ(OR=3.556,95％CI:1.241～10.194,P=0.018),PH＞4.5(OR=4.366,95％CI:1.164～16.380,P=0.029),and high CCL28 levels(OR=1.048,95％CI:1.018～1.080,P=0.002)were independent risk factors for persistent infection in HR-HPV-infected patients.Logistic regression fitting restricted cubic splines showed a linear relationship between CCL28 and persistent HR-HPV infection(nonlinear test x2=0.61,P=0.437).Spearman correlation analysis results showed that CCL28 was positively correlated with age(r=0.205,P=0.018),colony density(r=0.429,P＜0.001),colony diversity(r=0.389,P＜0.001),pH(r=0.357,P＜0.00l),hydrogen peroxide(r=0.409,P＜0.001),leukocyte esterase(r=0.392,P＜0.00l),and vaginal microecology(r=0.473,P＜0.001).Linear regression analysis showed that colony density(β=12.295,P=0.003)and colony diversity(β=9.196,P=0.032)were independently associated with CCL28.Conclusion Colony density and colony diversity were independently correlated with CCL28.Colony density grade Ⅰ,pH＞4.5,and high CCL28 levels suggest an increased risk of persistent infection in patients with HR-HPV infection.

Objective:To extract and summarize the best evidence of early ambulation after anterior cervical surgery, so as to provide practical basis for early ambulation of clinical patients.Methods:The research questions were proposed based on the population, intervention, professional, outcome, setting and type of evidence (PIPOST) model. According to the "6S" model, the clinical guidelines, expert consensus, clinical decision-making, evidence summary, systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials related to "early postoperative activities of patients undergoing anterior cervical surgery" in databases such as UpToDate, British Medical Journal (BMJ) Best Practice website, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and WanFang Data were systematically retrieved. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the database to February 1, 2022. Two researchers independently evaluated the quality of the articles, and extracted and integrated the evidence of the articles meeting the quality standards.Results:A total of 10 articles were included, including two guidelines, three expert consensus, three systematic reviews, and two randomized controlled trials. It is summarized into 28 pieces of evidence and 7 dimensions, including multidisciplinary team cooperation, optimization of preoperative health education, preparation before ambulation, content of ambulation, multimodal analgesia management, nausea and vomiting management, and safety management of ambulation.Conclusions:The evidence included in this study provides a series of information for early ambulation after anterior cervical surgery. The medical and nursing staff should combine the evidence with the actual clinical situation, consider the value and expectation of the patient, comprehensively and individually evaluate the patient, and then make an early ambulation plan.

Objective: To understand the proper handwashing behavior of preschool children and primary school students in Beijing, and to analyze associated family factors to provide reference for further health intervention related to handwashing. Methods: From November to December 2020, parents of 36 kindergartens and 18 primary schools in 9 districts of Beijing were investigated online by using a self designed questionnaire with questionnaire star software. The contents of the survey included the basic situation of children and their families, parents correct knowledge of the prevention of novel coronavirus pneumonia, their perception of the epidemic risk, the provision of handwashing guidance for children, and children s handwashing behavior. Results: The proportion of proper handwashing of preschool children was 70.2%, which was higher than that of primary school students (61.9%) ( χ 2=57.63, P <0.01). The proportion of parents of preschool children who correctly knew handwashing related knowledge (36.2%, 33.4%), had low perception of epidemic risk (28.9%, 25.4%), and provided handwashing guidance (99.1%, 97.9%) was higher than that of parents of primary school students, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ 2=6.72, 22.84, 18.68, P <0.05). But the proportion of parents of preschool children who had high self efficacy (75.7%, 78.2%)was lower compared to parents of primary school students( χ 2=6.43, P =0.04). Multivariate regression results showed that whether preschool children or primary school students, urban areas and parents had high self efficacy, low risk perception, and provided hand washing guidance for children, children were more likely to wash their hands correctly. For preschool children, non only children were 0.79(95% CI =0.69-0.92) times more likely to wash their hands correctly than only children. For primary school students, girls were 1.21(95% CI =1.06- 1.39 ) times more likely to wash their hands correctly than boys, and parents who know knowledge correctly were 1.20(95% CI = 1.04 -1.40) times more likely to know it incorrectly( P <0.05). Conclusion Proper hand washing behavior of preschool children is higher than that of primary school students. Parental awareness of COVID-19 epidemic, handwashing behavior, self efficacy and guidance behavior have effects on the development of children s health behavior. Measures should be taken to enhance parents awareness of infectious diseases and their ability and self efficacy of guiding children in disease prevention.

[Abstract] Objective: To construct and verify the anti-tumor activity of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) modified NK-92 cells (CAR-NK-92 cells) targeting prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA) in cervical cancer. Methods: Lentiviral vector expressing CAR targeting PSCA was constructed, and PSCA CAR-NK-92 cells were obtained by lentivirus transfection. The expression of PSCA in human cervical cancer cells was determined by Flow cytometry and Western blotting. The killing effect of PSCA CAR-NK-92 cells against cervical cancer cells was verified by co-incubation of effector and target cells in vitro, and the tumor inhibitory ability of PSCA CAR-NK-92 cells was verified with the nude mice xenograft model in vivo. Results: PSCA CAR-NK-92 cells were successfully constructed. PSCA was highly expressed in human cervical cancer Hela and MS751 cells (all P<0.01). In vitro co-incubation results showed that PSCA CAR-NK-92 cells could lyse PSCA+ cervical cancer transplanted tumor in a dose-dependent manner. In vivo anti-tumor data showed that PSCA CAR-NK-92 cells significantly inhibited the growth of cervical cancer cells compared with NK-92 cells transfected with vehicle vectors (P<0.01). In addition, PSCA CAR-NK-92 cells could effectively infiltrate tumor tissues and promote the secretion of anti-tumor cytokines TNF-α and IFN-γ (all P<0.01). Conclusion: The CAR-NK-92 targeting PSCA shows good anti-tumor effect on PSCA+ tumor cells both in vitro and in vivo, and has potential to be a therapeutic strategy for cervical cancer.

Objective: To monitor the second-hand smoke (SHS) exposure in residents aged 15 years and over in public venues, indoor workplaces, on public transportation vehicles and at home in Beijing and evaluate the effect of Beijing Tobacco Control Regulation. Methods: Data from 2014 and 2016 Beijing Adult Tobacco Survey were used. The surveys covered 16 districts in Beijing. The study subjects were selected through multi-stage cluster sampling with probability proportional to population size, and data were collected by using electronic questionnaire in face-to-face household interviews. A total of 8 484 and 9 372 valid questionnaires were collected for the surveys in 2014 and 2016, respectively. Statistical packages SPSS 20.0 and R 3.4.4 were used for data analyses. After weighting the samples using complex survey designs, the SHS exposure rates in different places in adults of Beijing were estimated. χ² tests were performed for the comparison. Results: The SHS exposure rates of residents aged 15 years and over in Beijing who visited health care facilities, government buildings, universities, primary and secondary schools and restaurants declined from 12.8%, 19.7%, 24.3%, 32.8% and 65.7% in 2014 to 6.2%, 10.8%, 12.5%, 19.1% and 32.5% in 2016, respectively. The SHS exposure rates in bars/nightclubs were 89.5% in 2014 and 80.3% in 2016. From 2014 to 2016, the SHS exposure rates declined from 35.7% to 20.0% in indoor workplaces and declined from 3.9% to 2.5% on public transportation vehicles. The SHS exposure rates at home were 39.8% in 2014 and 37.6% in 2016, respectively. Conclusions The SHS exposure rates in public places declined obviously in Beijing after the one year implementation of Beijing Tobacco Control Regulation, indicating the effect of the regulation implementation.

Objective: To evaluate the implementation effect of the Beijing Tobacco Control Regulation. Methods: An observational study was conducted in a multi-stage randomly selected sample of 93 restaurants in Dongcheng and Chaoyang districts, Beijing. Undercover visits to the restaurants were paid by investigators at lunch or dinner time. The incidence of smoking behavior and the posters of no-smoking signs were observed, waiters were interviewed about awareness of the regulation, and comparisons with the baseline data of 6 months before and 1 month after regulation implementation were made. Results: The pasting rate of no-smoking signs was 76.3%. The awareness of the regulation in the waiters surveyed was high. The incidence rate of smoking in restaurants (29.0%) was lower than that before the regulation implementation (36.7%), but it was significantly higher than that one month after regulation implementation (14.8%). No active interventions from the restaurant staff were observed when smoking occurred. The incidence of smoking in restaurants within commercial buildings (3.3%) was significantly lower than that in non-commercial buildings (41.3%), the difference was significant (P<0.05). Conclusions The effect of the regulation weakened 3 years after implementation compared with that in 1 month after the implementation. The enforcement degree of the regulation was conflicted with pasting rate of no-smoking signs and the regulation awareness level in waiters in restaurants in Dongcheng and Chaoyang districts.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the karyotypes and SRD5A2 gene mutations in 25 patients with sporadic or familial hypospadias.

METHODSThe patients included 10 adults and 15 children, whose chromosomes were analyzed by G-banded karyotyping, and the SRD5A2 genes were sequenced.

RESULTSTwo patients were found to have an abnormal karyotype, while eight have carried compound heterozygous mutations of the SRD5A2 gene, which included 5 genotypes formed by 6 types of mutations, i.e., p.G203S/p.R227Q, p.R227Q/p.R246Q, p.Q6X/p.Q71X, p.L20P/p.G203S, and p.Q71X/p.R227Q. Mutations of the SRD5A2 gene were present in 32% (8/25) of all patients, 35% (8/23) in those with a normal karyotype, and 44.4% (8/18) in those with proximal type hypospadia. Bioinformatic analysis, literature review and pedigree analysis confirmed that all such mutations are pathogenic.

CONCLUSIONChromosomal anomalies and mutations of the SRD5A2 gene are the main cause of hypospadias. Sequencing of the SRD5A2 gene may explain the etiology of nearly half of the patients with proximal type of hypospadas but a normal karyotype, which can facilitate genetic consulting.

Objective To investigate the application value of extracorporeal extended field radiotherapy in locally advanced cervical cancer. Methods A total of one hundred and twenty patients with stage IIB?IVA cervical cancer in the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University from June 2012 to June 2014 were randomly divided into two groups:the control group and the observation group,each with 60 cases. The routine concurrent chemoradiotherapy was adopted in the control group. The observation group was treated with extracorporeal extended field radiotherapy combined with concurrent chemotherapy. The patients have been followed up for three years. The total efficacy rate,toxicity reaction,local progression free survival time ( PFS) and survival rate of the two groups were compared. Results The total efficacy rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group ( 88. 3%( 53/60 ) vs. 73. 3%( 44/60 ) , χ2 = 4. 357, P=0. 037),while the incidences of toxicity reaction in the two groups were 18. 3%(11/60) and 16. 7%(10/60), the difference was not statistically significant (χ2=0. 058,P=0. 810) ,the percentages of I and II degree in the two groups were 3. 4%( 2/60 ) and 3. 4%( 2/60 ) , the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (Z=0. 000,P=1. 000). The PFS value in the observation group was significantly longer than that of the control group ( 25. 6 months vs. 13. 8 months,χ2 = 25. 624, P= 0. 000 ) , and the survival rate in the observation group improved significantly ( 53. 3%( 32/60 ) vs. 33. 3%( 20/60 ) , the difference was statistically significant (χ2 = 4. 887, P= 0. 027 ) . Conclusion Extracorporeal extended field radiotherapy is safe and effective in the treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer.
