Abstract
In this work, a rapid, simple and efficient homogeneous liquid-liquid microextraction via flotation assistance (HLLME-FA) method was developed based on applying low density organic solvents without no centrifugation. For the first time, a special extraction cell was designed to facilitate collection of the low-density solvent extraction in the determination of four polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in water samples followed by gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID). The effect of different variables on the extraction efficiency was studied simultaneously using experimental design. The variables of interest in the HLLME-FA were selected as extraction and homogeneous solvent volumes, ionic strength and extraction time. Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to investigate the optimum conditions of all the variables. Using optimized variables in the extraction process, for all target PAHs, the detection limits, the precisions and the linearity of the method were found in the range of 14-41 mug L(-1), 3.7-10.3% (RSD, n=3) and 50-1000 mug L(-1), respectively. The proposed method has been successfully applied to the analysis of four target PAHs in the water samples, and satisfactory results were obtained.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES: We assessed the characteristics associated with the awareness, perceptions, and use of electronic nicotine delivery systems (e-cigarettes) among young adults. METHODS: We collected data in 2010-2011 from a cohort of 2624 US Midwestern adults aged 20 to 28 years. We assessed awareness and use of e-cigarettes, perceptions of them as a smoking cessation aid, and beliefs about their harmfulness and addictiveness relative to cigarettes and estimated their associations with demographic characteristics, smoking status, and peer smoking. RESULTS: Overall, 69.9% of respondents were aware of e-cigarettes, 7.0% had ever used e-cigarettes, and 1.2% had used e-cigarettes in the past 30 days. Men, current and former smokers, and participants who had at least 1 close friend who smoked were more likely to be aware of and to have used e-cigarettes. Among those who were aware of e-cigarettes, 44.5% agreed e-cigarettes can help people quit smoking, 52.8% agreed e-cigarettes are less harmful than cigarettes, and 26.3% agreed e-cigarettes are less addictive than cigarettes. CONCLUSIONS: Health communication interventions to provide correct information about e-cigarettes and regulation of e-cigarette marketing may be effective in reducing young adults' experimentation with e-cigarettes.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and its related risk factors in Uygur and Han Chinese adult in Urumqi, China. METHODS: A population-based cross-sectional survey was undertaken in a total of 972 Uygur (684 male and 288 female) aged from 24 to 61 and 1023 Han Chinese (752 male and 271 female) aged from 23 to 63 years. All participants were recruited from the residents who visited hospital for health examination from November 2011 to May 2012. Each participant signed an informed consent and completed a GERD questionnaire (Gerd Q) and a lifestyle-food frequency questionnaire survey. Participants whose Gerd Q score was >/= 8 and met one of the following requirements would be enrolled into this research: (1) being diagnosed with erosive esophagitis (EE) or Barrett's esophagus (BE) by endoscopy; (2) negative manifestation under endoscopy (non-erosive reflux disease, NERD) with abnormal acid reflux revealed by 24-h esophageal pH monitoring; and (3) suffering from typical heartburn and regurgitation with positive result of proton pump inhibitor test. RESULTS: According to Gerd Q scoring criteria, 340 cases of Uygur and 286 cases of Han Chinese were defined as GERD. GERD incidence in Uygur was significantly higher than in Han Chinese (35% vs 28%, chi(2) = 11.09, P

Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Risk factors for Barrett's esophagus include gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms, age, abdominal obesity, and tobacco use. We aimed to develop a tool using these factors to predict the presence of Barrett's esophagus. METHODS: Male colorectal cancer (CRC) screenees were recruited to undergo upper endoscopy, identifying newly diagnosed cases of Barrett's esophagus. Logistic regression models predicting Barrett's esophagus using GERD symptoms alone and together with abdominal obesity, tobacco use, and age were compared. RESULTS: Barrett's esophagus was found in 70 (8.5%) of 822 CRC screenees. Mutually adjusting for other covariates, Barrett's esophagus was associated with weekly GERD (odds ratio (OR)=2.33, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.34, 4.05), age (OR per 10 years=1.53, 95% CI=1.05, 2.25), waist-to-hip ratio (OR per 0.10=1.44, 95% CI=0.898, 2.32) and pack-years of cigarette use (OR per 10 pack-years=1.09, 95% CI=1.04, 1.14). A model including those four factors had a greater area under the receiver operating characteristics curve than did a model based on GERD frequency and duration alone (0.72 vs. 0.61, P

Abstract
BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of shisha smoking and associated factors among medical students in Malaysia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Management and Science University from December 2011 until March 2012. The questionnaire consisted of five sections including socio-demographic, social environment, knowledge about shisha, psychosocial factors, and personal shisha smoking behavior. Obtained data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS 13). T-test was used to determine the relationships between shisha smoking and socio-demographic characteristic. RESULTS: A total number of 300 medical students participated in this study. Mean age was 22.5+/-2.5 years. The majority were female, Malay, single, from urban areas (67%, 54%, 97%, 73%; respectively). The prevalence of shisha smoking among medical students was found to be 20%. The study revealed that many students believed that shisha does not contains nicotine, carbon monoxide, does not lead to lung cancer, dental problems and does not lead to cardiovascular diseases (25%, 20.7%, 22.3%, 29%, 26.7%; respectively). Age and sex were found to be significantly associated with smoking shisha status among medical students (p=0.029, p

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Decompression sickness (DCS) is caused by formation and growth of bubbles from excess dissolved gas in body tissues following reduction in ambient pressure. Inner ear decompression sickness (IEDCS) is a complex disorder involving the vestibulo-cochlear apparatus whose pathophysiology remains incompletely understood. METHODS: The records of 662 consecutive DCS cases treated over a 7-yr period at 2 UK hyperbaric units were examined for symptoms suggesting IEDCS (nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and hearing loss arising within 2 h of surfacing). For IEDCS cases, demographics, dive, treatment, and outcome data were extracted with particular attention to the outcome of testing for a right-to-left shunt. RESULTS: Included were 31 men and 2 women with a mean age of 46 yr (range 31-61 yr). Of these, 16 patients had isolated IEDCS and 17 patients had associated symptoms ranging from joint pain to tingling and numbness. The depth of the dive leading to the incident ranged from 49-256 ft (15-78 m). As primary treatment, 21 patients received a U.S. Navy Treatment Table 6 (USN TT6) and 11 patients received a Comex 30. No difference in the speed of recovery or number of treatments needed was seen between the two tables. All patients were advised to have a right to left shunt (RLS) check, but only 30 complied with that, with 24 (80%) testing RLS positive. CONCLUSION: Our retrospective study confirms the correlation between IEDCS and the presence of a significant patent foramen ovale (PFO). In our series 48% of patients had an isolated IEDCS. IEDCS responds slowly to treatment irrespective of the initial table used. Recovery is thought to be mainly a central compensation process.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of home bleaching agents on the color and translucency of resin composites. METHODS: Thirty disc shaped specimens (1mm thick) were fabricated from each resin composite (Reflexions, Grandio, Gradia Direct, Clearfil Majesty Esthetic, Ceram-X Mono) and divided into 3 subgroups as carbamide peroxide (CP, Opalescence 10% PF), hydrogen peroxide (HP, 10% Opalescence Treswhite Supreme) and control group (n=10). Baseline CIE L*a*b* color coordinates were measured with spectrophotometer and translucency parameters (TP) were calculated. CP and HP groups were treated with bleaching agents according to manufacturers' instructions and control group was stored in distilled water (DW) for 14 days. Color and translucency measurements were repeated and color differences were calculated, DeltaE values>3.3 were considered as clinically unacceptable. RESULTS: Clinically unacceptable color change was detected for all resin composites exposed to bleaching agents and there was significant color difference between the control group and bleached specimens (P

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Echinocandins represent a new antifungal group with potent activity against Candida species. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the utility of the Sensititre Yeast One method to determine the in vitro activity of anidulafungin, micafungin, and caspofungin against Candida species isolated from clinical specimens. METHODS: A total of 131 Candida strains were tested using Sensititre Yeast One colorimetric microdilution method. They belonged to the following species: 42 C. albicans, 36 C. glabrata, 21 C. parapsilosis, 12 C. tropicalis, 10 C. krusei, 3 C. guilliermondii, 2 C. famata, 3 C. kefyr, 1 C. lusitaniae, 1 C. zeylanoides, and 1 C. lipolytica. For being considered susceptible the strains had to be inhibited by concentrations =2 mg/L of anidulafungin, caspofungin or micafungin. RESULTS: The 80.1% of the strains tested were inhibited by concentrations =0.25 mg/L of anidulafungin and micafungin. The activity of caspofungin was slightly lower (78.6% of strains inhibited by concentrations =0.25 mg/L). The 96.9% of strains turned out susceptible to concentrations =2 mg/L against the three echinocandins. Two strains of C. parapsilosis (9.5%), one of C. guilliermondii, and two of C. famata showed non-susceptible to one or more echinocandins. CONCLUSIONS: In our series, anidulafungin, micafungin, and caspofungin were effective against C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. tropicalis, C. krusei, C. kefyr, C. lusitaniae and C. lipolytica. The 96.9% of strains were susceptible to all three echinocandins. Thus, echinocandins are proved to exhibit excellent activity to the Candida species most frequently involved in human infections, except Candida parapsilosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Interventions to promote mental well-being can bring benefits to the individual and to society. The Internet can facilitate the large-scale and low-cost delivery of individually targeted health promoting interventions. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of a self-directed Internet-delivered cognitive-behavioral skills training tool in improving mental well-being in a population sample. METHODS: This was a randomized trial with a waiting-list control. Using advertisements on a national health portal and through its mailing list, we recruited 3070 participants aged 18 or over, resident in England, and willing to give their email address and access a fully automated Web-based intervention. The intervention (MoodGYM) consisted of 5 interactive modules that teach cognitive-behavioral principles. Participants in the intervention arm received weekly email reminders to access the intervention. The control group received access to the intervention after the trial was completed and received no specific intervention or email reminders. Outcomes were assessed by using self-completion questionnaires. The primary outcome was mental well-being measured with the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS). Secondary outcomes were Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale (CES-D) depression scores, Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale (GAD-7) anxiety scores, EuroQol Group 5-Dimension Self-Report Questionnaire (EQ-5D) quality of life scores, physical activity, and health service use. All outcomes were measured at baseline, and at 6- and 12-week follow-ups. RESULTS: A total of 1529 (49.80%) participants completed final follow-up at 12 weeks. Retention was 73.11% (1123/1536) in the control arm and 26.47% (406/1534) in the intervention arm. No relationship between baseline measures and withdrawal could be established. The analysis of WEMWBS mental well-being scores using a linear mixed model for repeated measures showed no difference between intervention and control group at baseline (difference -0.124 points, 95% CI -0.814 to 0.566), and significant improvements for the intervention group at 6 weeks (2.542 points, 95% CI 1.693-3.390) and at 12 weeks (2.876 points, 95% CI 1.933-3.819). The model showed a highly significant (P<.001 intervention="" by="" time="" interaction="" effect.="" there="" were="" also="" significant="" improvements="" in="" self-rated="" scores="" of="" depression="" and="" anxiety.="" given="" the="" high="" level="" attrition="" a="" sensitivity="" analysis="" with="" imputed="" missing="" values="" was="" undertaken="" that="" showed="" positive="" effect="" intervention.="" conclusions:="" participants="" allocated="" to="" arm="" had="" an="" average="" increase="" approximately="" points="" on="" wemwbs="" scale="" compared="" no="" for="" control="" group.="" three="" this="" is="" one-third="" standard="" deviation.="" low-cost="" automated="" designed="" shift="" population="" distribution="" mental="" well-being="" small="" difference="" per="" individual="" could="" yield="" major="" benefit="" terms.="" common="" other="" web-based="" interventions="" rates="" attrition.="" further="" work="" needed="" improve="" acceptability="" evaluate="" against="" placebo="" disaggregate="" from="" trial="" registration:="" international="" randomised="" controlled="" number="" register="" isrctn="" http:="" webcite="" at="">

Abstract
The aim of this study is determining the prevalence of smoking stages in adolescents of Tabriz city (northwest of Iran) and identifying the personal, environmental, and psychological factors relating to cigarette smoking. Fifty-seven high schools were randomly selected, and 4903 students were completed a self-administered questionnaire about cigarette smoking and the related risk factors. The association of independent variables with cigarette smoking was evaluated using the ordinal logistic regression model. In total, 17.3% of the participants were experimenters (95% CI: 15.8-18.9) and 5.0% were regular smokers (95% CI: 3.7-6.2). The results showed that the male gender (OR=2.92; CI: 1.94-4.77), age (OR=1.27; CI: 1.02-1.64), having general risk taking behavior (OR=1.50; CI: 1.02-2.21), presence of a cigarette smoker in the family (OR=1.78; CI: 1.23-2.54), friendship with close cigarette smoker friends (OR=2.52; CI: 1.65-3.86), substance abuse experience (OR=8.27; CI: 2.61-25.61), attitude toward cigarette smoking (OR=1.22; CI: 1.10-1.27) and positive thinking about cigarette smoking (OR=1.05; CI: 1.01-1.14) are associated to cigarette smoking in adolescents. The cigarette smoking prevalence is minimal in Tabriz city adolescents, especially in girls; but the experimenter prevalence is considerable. Findings of this study justifies adopting more serious measures in the pre-adolescence and adolescence period.
