Abstract
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and dyspepsia are three most important gastrointestinal disorders which occur frequently together in patients. This study aims to assess the association between IBS, GERD and dyspepsia by using loglinear model analysis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This cross-sectional household survey, the purpose of which was to find the prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms, disorders and the related factors, has been done from May 2006 to December 2007 in Tehran province, Iran. Subjects were interviewed by trained personnel. GERD was diagnosed as the experience of heartburn and/or acid regurgitation at least once a week for the last 3 months. IBS and dyspepsia were diagnosed according to the Rome III criteria. Loglinear models were applied to investigate the simultaneous association between IBS, GERD and dyspepsia. RESULTS: 77.9% of IBS patients had dyspepsia symptoms and 74.7% had GERD symptoms as well at the same time. As for the other two symptoms, 66% of GERD patients were also suffering from dyspepsia. CONCLUSIONS: These three symptoms frequently overlap; the overlap is systematic and not by chance or random.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: The use of biomarkers has expanded considerably, as an alternative to questionnaire-based metrics of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS); few studies have assessed the affect of such alternative metrics on diverse respiratory outcomes in children, and we aimed to do so. METHODS: We evaluated various measures of birth-year ETS, in association with multiple respiratory endpoints early years of life, in the novel context of a birth cohort at high risk for asthma. We administered questionnaires to parents, both at the end of pregnancy and at one year of life, and measured cotinine in cord blood (CCot; in 275 children) and in urine (UCot; obtained at 12 months in 365 children), each by radioimmunoassay. Multiple logistic regression was used to assess the association of the various metrics with recurrent wheeze at age 2 and with bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) and asthma at age 7. RESULTS: Self-reported 3rd trimester maternal smoking was associated with significantly increased risk for recurrent wheeze at age 2 (odds ratio 3.5 [95% confidence interval = 1.2,10.7]); the risks associated with CCot and 3rd trimester smoking in any family member were similar (OR 2.9 [1.2,7.0] and 2.6 [1.0,6.5], respectively). No metric of maternal smoking at 12 months appeared to significantly influence the risk of recurrent wheeze at age 2, and no metric of ETS at any time appeared to significantly influence risk of asthma or BHR at age 7. CONCLUSIONS: Biomarker- and questionnaire-based assessment of ETS in early life lead to similar estimates of ETS-associated risk of recurrent wheeze and asthma.

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
OBJECTIVES: We estimated e-cigarette (electronic nicotine delivery system) awareness, use, and harm perceptions among US adults. METHODS: We drew data from 2 surveys conducted in 2010: a national online study (n = 2649) and the Legacy Longitudinal Smoker Cohort (n = 3658). We used multivariable models to examine e-cigarette awareness, use, and harm perceptions. RESULTS: In the online survey, 40.2% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 37.3, 43.1) had heard of e-cigarettes, with awareness highest among current smokers. Utilization was higher among current smokers (11.4%; 95% CI = 9.3, 14.0) than in the total population (3.4%; 95% CI = 2.6, 4.2), with 2.0% (95% CI = 1.0, 3.8) of former smokers and 0.8% (95% CI = 0.35, 1.7) of never-smokers ever using e-cigarettes. In both surveys, non-Hispanic Whites, current smokers, young adults, and those with at least a high-school diploma were most likely to perceive e-cigarettes as less harmful than regular cigarettes. CONCLUSIONS: Awareness of e-cigarettes is high, and use among current and former smokers is evident. We recommend product regulation and careful surveillance to monitor public health impact and emerging utilization patterns, and to ascertain why, how, and under what conditions e-cigarettes are being used.

Abstract
This paper provides the first nationally representative estimates for use of four emerging products. Addressing the issue of land-line substitution with cell phones, we used a mixed-mode survey to obtain two representative samples of US adults. Of 3,240 eligible respondents contacted, 74% completed surveys. In the weighted analysis, 13.6% have tried at least one emerging tobacco product; 5.1% snus; 8.8% waterpipe; 0.6% dissolvable tobacco products; 1.8% electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) products. Daily smokers (25.1%) and nondaily smokers (34.9%) were the most likely to have tried at least one of these products, compared to former smokers (17.2%) and never smokers (7.7%), P24 have tried one of these products, P<.01. in="" multivariable="" analysis="" current="" daily="" nondaily="" and="" former="" smoking="" status="" remained="" significant="" as="" did="" young="" adults="" males="" higher="" educational="" attainment="" some="" college="" degree="" use="" of="" these="" products="" raises="" concerns="" about="" nonsmokers="" being="" at="" risk="" for="" nicotine="" dependence="" smokers="" maintaining="" their="" dependence.="" greater="" awareness="" emerging="" tobacco="" product="" prevalence="" the="" high="" demographic="" user="" groups="" might="" inform="" efforts="" to="" determine="" appropriate="" public="" health="" policy="" regulatory="" action.="">

Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To assess hookah use among youth for prevalence, associations, and changes over time. METHODS: Data from the 2008 and 2010 New Jersey Youth Tobacco Survey were analyzed to examine hookah smoking by gender, race/ethnicity, and grade level. RESULTS: Prevalence of hookah use increased significantly among black and Hispanic students. Frequency of use was generally occasional. In multivariate models, Asian race; Hispanic ethnicity; and concurrent use of cigarettes, cigars, and bidis predicted current hookah smoking. CONCLUSIONS: Prevalence of hookah use is rising among New Jersey's youth, particularly among minority populations, representing a growing public health concern.

Abstract
A novel C18 functionalized graphene oxide (GO) coated solid-phase microextraction fiber was prepared by a novel protocol. Based on the strong van der Waals interaction present in GO and abundant oxygenous groups in GO sheets, a simple layer-by-layer self-assembly method was used in the preparation process and then C18 was successfully self-assembled on GO via C-O-Si bonding. Coupled with gas chromatography, extraction performance of the fiber was tested with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as model analytes. The fiber not only exhibited excellent extraction efficiency and selectivity, but also showed many advantages including high rigidity, long service life and well stability toward organic solvent, acidic and alkali solutions, and high temperature. The relative standard deviations for single-fiber repeatability and fiber-to-fiber reproducibility were less than 7.26 and 17.25%, respectively. The detection limits to the PAHs were less than 0.08 mug L(-1) and the calibration curves were linear in a wide range for all analytes. The as-established Solid-phase microextraction GC method was also successfully used for determination of PAHs in two real water samples.

Abstract
A highly porous fiber-coated SBA-15/polyaniline material was prepared for solid-phase microextraction (SPME). The SBA-15/polyaniline nanocomposite was synthesized via chemical polymerization. The prepared SBA-15/polyaniline particles were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy analysis. The prepared nanomaterial was immobilized onto a stainless steel wire for fabrication of the SPME fiber. The fiber was evaluated for the extraction of some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from aqueous sample solutions in combination with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In optimum conditions (extraction temperature 60 degrees C, extraction time 40 min, ionic strength 20%, stirring rate: 500 rpm, desorption temperature 260 degrees C, desorption time 2 min), the repeatability for one fiber (n=3), expressed as relative standard deviation (RSD%), was between 5.3 and 8.6% for the test compounds. For deionized water, spiked with selected PAHs, the detection limits for the studied compounds were between 2 and 20 pg/mL.

Abstract
AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the epidemiology of GERD base on population study in Tehran providence. BACKGROUND: Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common and chronic problem. Recent reports from developing countries indicate increment in the incidence and prevalence of the disease over the past. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study was a cross-sectional household survey conducted from May 2006 to December 2007 in Tehran province, Iran. Participants completed a valid gastro-esophageal reflux Questionnaire. The questionnaire included personal and family characteristics such as age, gender, and educational status. In addition, interviewers asked them regarding 10 GI symptoms. RESULTS: Altogether 18180 individuals participated in this cross-sectional study. The mean +/- SD age of participant was 38.7+/-17.1 and 9072 (49.9%) were women. The prevalence of GERD was 8.85 (8.43-9.26). There was significant relationship between age, sex, marital and educational status with GERD.
