Objective: To summarize the long-term efficacy of Beijing Children's Hospital-2009-lymphoblastic lymphoma (BCH-2009-LBL) in the treatment of T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) in children and adolescents and to explore the prognostic factors. Methods: T-LBL children admitted to Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2009 to April 2017 were retrospectively included. According to clinical stage, prognostic genes and treatment response, the children were divided into low, intermediate and high risk groups, and stratified treatment was performed according to the BCH-2009-LBL protocol, with follow-up until December 31, 2023. The clinical characteristics and therapeutic effect of each group were compared. Survival curve was drawn by Kaplan-Meier method, and the difference in survival rate between groups was compared by log-rank test. Multivariate Cox regression model was used to analyze the prognostic factors. Results: A total of 146 patients were included, the age of disease onset [ M ( Q 1 , Q 3 )] was 8.0 (1.5, 14.0) years old. There were 107 (73.3%) males and 39 (26.7%) females. Clinical staging: 1 case in stage Ⅰ and 1 case in stage Ⅱ (0.7% each), 41 cases (28.1%) cases in stage Ⅲ and 103 cases(70.5%) in stage Ⅳ. There were 1 case (0.7%), 93 cases (63.7%), and 52 cases (35.6%) in the low, intermediate, and high-risk groups, respectively. The follow-up time was 121 (80, 180) months, and the 5-year and 10-year event-free survival (EFS) rates were 76.4% and 75.0%, respectively. The 5-year EFS rates of low, intermediate and high risk groups were 100.0%, 81.3% and 67.3%, respectively. There was significant difference in remission between the middle-risk group and the high-risk group on the 8th day of hormone pretreatment and at the end of induction (both P <0.05). Recurrence/progression occurred in 29 cases (recurrence rate 19.9%), and the recurrence time was 15 (3, 74) months, in which 26 cases died and only 3 cases survived. Infection-related death occurred in 6 cases (4.1%). The failure or progression of hormone pretreatment at d8 ( HR =10.089, 95% CI : 1.266-80.387, P =0.029) and the failure to achieve complete remission at the end of induction (mid-term evaluation) ( HR =7.638, 95% CI : 2.411-24.199, P =0.001) were the risk factors for EFS rate of intermediate risk group. The above indexes had no statistical significance on EFS rate in high-risk groups (all P >0.05). Conclusions: BCH-2009-LBL regimen shows good efficacy in the treatment of pediatric T-LBL. The failure or progression of hormone pretreatment at d8 and the failure to achieve complete remission at the end of induction (mid-term evaluation) were the risk factors for EFS rate.

Objective: To establish the norm of the Chinese version of Karitane Parenting Confidence Scale (KPCS) in urban areas of China. Methods: From August to December 2017, the parents of 2 216 children (<36 months old) were selected from 15 cities (Beijing, Lianyungang, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Xi'an, Guangzhou, Changsha, Jinan, Guiyang, Ningbo, Dalian, Qinhuangdao, Maanshan, Chongqing and Wuhan) in 14 provinces by stratified random sampling. The general demographic characteristics and parents' parenting confidence were collected by a self-made questionnaire and KPCS Chinese version. The percentile norm was established. P 3 , P 10 and P 25 were used as the criteria to define the degree of lack of parenting confidence. Results: The age of mothers was (30.67±4.29). The age of the father was (32.50±4.99) years old. There were 726 (32.76%), 759 (34.25%) and 731 (32.99%) infants in 6-12, 12-23 and 24-35 months old groups. The total scores of P 50 , P 25 , P 10 and P 3 of KPCS (Chinese version) of infant parents in urban areas in China were 41, 38, 33, and 29 respectively. When the scores of parents were 34-37, 30-33, and ≤ 29, they were judged as mild, moderate, and severe lack of parenting confidence. There was no significant difference in the Chinese version of KPCS between parents of different age groups and parents of different gender (χ²=3.53, P =0.171; χ²=1.41, P =0.236). Each factor score≤ P 3 is defined as the boundary score, and the corresponding boundary scores of "parenting" "support" and "competence" were 13, 9, and 5 respectively. Conclusion: The Chinese version of KPCS can be used to assess the parenting confidence of infants in urban areas of China. It can used as one of the bases for scientific and objective evaluation of the parenting status of families.

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.
