Abstract:
Objective To analyze the molecular evolution of severe acute respiratory syndromes coronavirus (SARS-CoV) genomic sequences in different epidemic phase and to determine their possible relationship with SARS-like CoV or other coronavirus. Methods Nine SARS-CoV genomic sequences derived from different epidemic phases, 24 SARS-like CoV and 26 other coronavirus genomic sequences were collected. Multiple sequence alignments were conducted by ClustalX 2.0 and the phylogenetic trees were constructed using MEGA 6.0 software through Neighbor-Joining (NJ) method. Results SARS-CoV genomic sequences derived from early and middle phases were attributed to one branch and those from late phase to another separated branch with far genomic distance in every phylogenetic trees. With root of SARS-CoV genomic sequences derived from early and middle phases, those derived from late phases were the furthest branch and closer to SARSL-CoV or other coronavirus genomic sequences. Conclusions SARS-CoV genomic sequences derived from late phase have great genetic differences compared with those derived from early and middle phases. It's suggested that reverse or atavistic evolution occurred during the late phase of SARS epidemic.

Abstract:
Objective To explore the relationships between human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DP A1/B1 gene polymorphisms with the susceptibility and the outcomes of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection among high-risk population in Jiangsu province. Methods HLA-DPA1/B1 gene alleles were detected in 748 subjects including 170 spontaneous clearance of HCV infection, 258 persistent HCV infections and 320 healthy controls by PCR-SBT,and the HLA alleles frequencies were compared between groups. Results The frequencies of HLA-DPA1*0103 and HLA-DPB1*0201 alleles were higher in HCV infection group than those in healthy control (40.7% vs 32.2%, P=0.003) (22.0% vs 12.5%, P<0.001). The frequencies of HLA-DPA1*0201 and HLA-DPB1*1401 alleles were lower in persistent HCV infection group than those in spontaneous clearance HCV infection group (7.9% vs 13.8%, P=0.018) (0.0% vs 2.1%, P=0.015). However, the data analyses showed that the frequencies of haplotype DPB1*0501-DPA1*0103 and DPB1*0201-DPA1*0103 were higher in HCV infection group than those in healthy control (P<0.001), but the frequencies of haplotype DPB1*0202-DPA1*0202 were lower than those in healthy control (P<0.001). Furthermore, the frequencies of haplotype DPB1*0202-DPA1*0202 were higher in persistent HCV infection group than those in spontaneous clearance HCV infection (P=0.004), while the frequencies of haplotype DPB1*0402-DPA1*0103 were lower in persistent HCV infection group than those in spontaneous clearance HCV infection (P=0.008). Conclusions HLA-DPA1/B1 alleles might be associated with the susceptibility and the outcomes of HCV infection among population at high risk in Jiangsu Province.

Abstract:
Objective To estimate the impact of population aging on mortalities for major non-communicable diseases in China. Methods Mortality data from the National Diseases Surveillance System 2006-2013 were acquired to calculate the contribution of population aging to the increase of deaths for major non-communicable diseases, by decomposing the differences of death rates. Results Generally, the mortality rates showed increasing trends for coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, lung cancer, liver cancer and traffic injury in China from 2006 to 2013. 76.9%, 178.5%, 51.2%, 105.3% and 22.7% of the increase of deaths caused by lung cancer, liver cancer, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, and traffic injury, respectively, were attributed to population aging; furthermore, the contribution of population aging on increase of deaths for lung cancer, liver cancer and coronary heart disease were greater in men than in women, while those on cerebrovascular disease and traffic injury were more serious in women. In addition, population aging contributed more to the increase of deaths caused by lung cancer, liver cancer, coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease in urban population than their rural counterparts. Conclusions This study indicated that population aging in China will result in sizeable increases in mortalities for liver cancer, lung cancer and cardiovascular disease.These disparities may have implications for public health in both non-communicable chronic disease prevention and health service research.

Abstract:
Objective To understand the current prevalence of major chronic diseases and their major risk factors in Tongling County's residents. Methods A multistage cluster random sampling method was adopted. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 3 221 residents over 18 years of age from 2 091 households in 13 townships of the county to investigate their general conditions, chronic disease history and other related factors of the incidence of chronic disease, and indicators including blood pressure, blood sugar and height were measured. Results The prevalence rate was 8.9% in two weeks. There were 212 cases of hospitalization in one year, with a 6.6% hospitalization rate. The total prevalence of hypertension was 33.9%, whereas the total prevalence of diabetes was 9.3%. And there were 474 cases of other chronic diseases,including stroke, coronary heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancer and so on, with a total prevalence of 14.7%. There was no statistical significance of sex difference (χ2=1.92,P=0.256), but there were age differences (χ2=237.83,P<0.001). By using Logistic regression analysis, it turned out that bigger waists and old age were risk factors of chronic disease, while heavy taste and low body mass of index were protective factors of chronic diseases. Conclusions The prevalence rate of chronic disease, especially hypertension is relatively higher in Tongling County. Prevention and control strategies and measures of chronic diseases have yet to be strengthened. While making the elderly as a priority of prevention objects, we should pay attention to expand the scope of prevention objects of chronic diseases to healthy people, guiding active and correct life-styles to improve the awareness of prevention and control of chronic diseases among the whole population.

Abstract:
Objective To examine the association of telephone communication with family and friends with cognitive function in middle-aged and older adults, and to provide evidence for the prevention and control of senile dementia. Methods Based on the baseline data collected in phase 3 of guangzhou biobank cohort study (GBCS), 9 434 Guangzhou residents aged 50 years or older were included. A standardized questionnaire was used to collect information including mini-mental state examination(MMSE) score, telephone communication with family and friends, age, educational level and other relevant information. General Linear Model and non-conditional Logistic regression were used for data analysis. Mild cognitive impairment(MCI) was defined as MMSE less than 24 points.Results After adjustment for the potential factors above, telephone communication with family and friends was significantly associated with MMSE scores in a dose-response pattern, with less frequent telephone calls being associated with lower MMSE score, especially in middle-aged and older people living in the rural area. Compared to those with telephone calls at least once a week, those with telephone calls less than once a month (OR=1.26,95% CI:1.02-1.55) and without telephone calls(OR=1.63,95% CI:1.25-2.11) were associated with a higher risk of MCI, and the results were more significant in those living in the rural area(OR=1.52,95% CI:1.13-2.03 and OR=2.13,95% CI:1.51-3.01, respectively).Conclusions Higher frequency of telephone communication with family and friends was associated with better cognitive function. Telephone communication with family and friends <1 month could be an indicator of mild cognitive disorders in rural middle and older people. Intervention studies on the effects of increasing telephone communication may help to prevent the development of dementia.

Objective To investigate the effect of socio-demographic and blood biochemical indicators on forced expiratory volumne in1second (FEV1) and the largest force vital capacity(FVC) of 50-74 year-old residents in Qingdao. Methods 2 476 Qingdao rural and urban residents who aged 50-74 years were sampled through stratified cluster sampling method in 2009. Homemade scale was adopted to interview the elderly, meanwhile, FEV1, FVC and blood biochemical indicators were measured. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to investigate the effect of age, gender, income, education, body mass index, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C), blood lipids (TC/HDL-C) and uric acid (UA) on pulmonary ventilation function. Results Males were better than females in FEV1 and FVC. With increasing age, FEV1 and FVC were both declined, and the descend was larger in 65-69 group. With increasing education(β=0.433,P=0.042) and BMI(β=0.776,P<0.001), FEV1 showed a rising trend. With increasing HbA1c, FEV1 (β=-0.254,P<0.001)and FVC(β=-0.298,P=0.046) were decreased, while with increasing TC/HDL-C, FEV1 and FVC showed a rising trend. There were no significant correlation between UA with FEV1 and FVC. Conclusions The decrease of FEV1 and FVC are the result of interactions of multiple factors, age and HbA1c are risk factors, while income, education, BMI and blood lipids are protective factors.

According to the 2D:4D and 2D:5D, there was no significant difference between homosexual men and bisexual men (t1=0.205,P1=0.838;t2=0.700,P2=0.486). Conclusions Digit ratio (especially the 2D:4D of right hand) can reflect the individual prenatal testosterone level. The ratio was positively correlated with maternal pregnancy testosterone, and was negatively correlated with maternal pregnancy estrogen. So, the digit ratio is considered to be a prenatal individual biomarker which is affected by maternal pregnancy sex hormones. Low levels of testosterone and high levels of estrogen exposure during embryonic period could affect the individual's sexual orientation. However, using digit ratio cannot distinguish the homosexuals and bisexuals.

Abstract:
Objective To analyze the survival time and influencing factors of HIV/AIDS and mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB)-coinfected patients in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. Methods Using retrospective cohort study method, through the China disease prevention and control information system of the subsystem “National AIDS Comprehensive Prevention and Control Information System”, the cases with confirmed date from January 2007 to June 2014 who lived or accepted detection/follow-up services in Chengdu were collected. All previous follow-up “tuberculosis test results” report for “extrapulmonary tuberculosis” or “tuberculosis patients” were screened”. The survival rate was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards model were used for determining risk factors associated with survival time. Results A total of 583 HIV/MTB-coinfected patients were included in this study. 278(47.7%) and 469(80.4%) patients were found co-infected with MTB within 2 months and 12 months after HIV diagnosis. From the day of HIV/MTB co-infection reported to November 30, 2014, 141 patients died during 1 165.05 person-years of follow-up with the mortality rate of 12.10/100 person-years. In multivariate Cox analysis, HIV confirmatory age (years) (HR= 1.019, 95% CI:1.003-1.035), without ART (HR=12.278,95% CI: 7.918-19.038), the first CD4+T lymphocytes testing count (HR=1.712, 95% CI: 1.369-2.141) could affect the risk of all-cause mortality. Homosexual transmission (HR=0.334, 95% CI:0.166-0.672) and heterosexual transmission (HR=0.328, 95% CI: 0.137-0.781) (both compared with other transmission routes) were associated with reduced risk of HIV/MTB patients death. Conclusions HIV/AIDS cases with tuberculosis infection is mainly found in 1 year follow-up after the confirmation of HIV, the survival rate of amalgamative infection after 1 year lower than 80%. Age, non-sexually transmitted infection, not antiretroviral therapy, the low CD4+ T lymphocytes count of the first testing were the dominant risk factors of death in this region.

Methods Nested polymerase chain reaction(Nested PCR,) multiple real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, indirect immunofluorescence and pathogen isolation culture methods were conducted respectively to inspect the blood samples of patients with FUO. Results Nested PCR was performed to detect the specific fragment of groEL gene in 399 blood specimens of fever patients.The results showed that 17 samples contained spotted fever group and typhus group rickettsiae, 61 samples contained orientia tsutsugamushi. Meanwhile, the result of multiplex real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR test, showed that 2 samples contained spotted fever group rickettsiae, 6 samples contained typhus fever group rickettsiae, 49 samples contained orientia tsutsugamushi. Furthermore,when indirect immunofluorescence assay were performed, SFGR IgM were observed in 19 samples and IgG were observed in 148 samples. Typhus fever group rickettsiae IgM were observed in 29 samples, and IgG in 169 samples. However, no cytopathic effect and negative results were showed in the test isolated and cultured the blood specimens with L929 monolayer cells. Conclusions Four kinds of laboratory testing methods could further clarify the epidemic characteristics of spotted fever from aspects of etiology, serology and molecular biology,provide plenty data for diagnosis and protection.

Abstract:
Objective To establish the human bronchial epithelial (BEAS-2B ) stable cell lines with lentiviral-based hsa-miR-100-3p inhibitor and lay a foundation for the study of miR-100. Methods The reverse complementary sequence was designed based on the mature sequence of hsa-miR-100-3p. The purpose gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and inserted directly into lentiviral plasmid vector GV280 after the double enzyme digestion, generatting GV280-hsa-miR-100-3p-inhibitor lentiviral expression vector. Then human embryo kidney epithelial cell (HEK-293) T cells was transfected with recombinant lentiviral plasmid along with two packaging vectors to produce virus particles. BEAS-2B cells were infected with the optimal titer of virus particles to obtain stable infected cell lines. At last, the infection efficiency was observed by fluorescence inverted microscope and the relative expression of miR-100 in BEAS-2B cells after transfecting with recombinant lentivirus was determined using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results DNA sequencing demonstrated that the lentiviral vector was made successfully. The target BEAS-2B cells were efficiently infected. More importantly, the expression of miR-100 in BEAS-2B cells was reduced significantly, measured by RT-PCR. Conclusions We successfully established the BEAS-2B stable cell lines with lentiviral-based hsa-miR-100-3p inhibitor to reduce the endogenous expression of miR-100 in BEAS-2B cells.
