Abstract:
Objective To explore influencing factors related to acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients in Chinese urban communities. Methods A cross-sectional survey was carried out in Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu and Guangzhou. Total 678 subjects with COPD were recruited continuously into this study. Subjects were face-to-face interviewed with a structured questionnaire and their medical records were also checked. All data were entered into Epi data twice, and analyzed by SAS 9.2. Results In recent one year, the frequency of exacerbation for COPD was (1.5±1.9), and more than one third (35.4%) did not suffer from any acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD), while the same proportion (35.4%) had more than two exacerbations. AECOPD patients was older, had longer courses, and higher proportions of BMI abnormity, family history of COPD, former smokers, no regular physical activities, and advanced severity of COPD than patients without any acute exacerbation. Former smoker(OR=2.53, 95% CI:1.32-4.87), no regular physical activities(OR=1.96, 95% CI:1.21-3.17) and advanced severity (stage Ⅲ (OR=2.81, 95% CI:1.38-5.71) and stage IV(OR=3.29, 95% CI:1.20-9.01)) of COPD were possible risk factors of frequently AECOPD in last year. Conclusions Acute exacerbation of COPD was prevalent for COPD patients from urban communities in big Chinese cities. More attentions should be paid to COPD patients with former smoker, no regular physical exercise and advanced severity.

Abstract:
Objective To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of angina in the elderly in China and provide the basis for prevention. Methods We randomly recruited a sample of 5 315 residents aged ≥60 years from Guangdong, Shanghai, Heilongjiang, Shanxi and Hubei provinces in China by multistage sampling. We examined each of participants and recorded Angina based on self-reported diagnosis of a physician. We also documented socio-demography and influencing factors. And the risk factors of angina were explored using univariate analysis and Logistic regression analysis.Results The prevalence of angina was 7.19%in the elderly of these five provinces. There were significant associations between angina and the following factors:being female, worker,teacher/servicemen/merchantmen,living in urban, with lower average household income(<10 000 Yuan/year),having serious economic hardship,smoker or ex-smoker,hypertension,hypercholesterolemia, diabetes and worrying about children (all P<0.05).Conclusions A high risk of angina was associated with female gender, worker or teacher/servicemen/merchantmen, living in urban, lower average household income, serious economic hardship, smoking, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and worrying about children. We should take interventions against angina in the high-risk population.

Abstract:
Objective To investigate the association between dyslipidemia and physical activity among male coal miners of Shanxi Province in China. Methods 3 656 coal miners in Datong Coal Mine Group were collected by two-stage stratified cluster sampling method.The definition of dyslipidemia was based on the Chinese guidelines on treatment and prevention of dyslipidemia in adults. Self-reported physical activity was obtained with the international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ) and categorized into three tertiles of low-, moderate- and high-activity levels. Results The percentages of individuals with vigorous, moderate, and low physical activity (PA) levels were 17.65%, 15.18% and 67.17% respectively. After adjustment of the potentially confounding effects of age, body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), tobacco use, alcohol use, vigorous PA was associated with elevated TG(OR=0.72,95% CI:0.58-0.90), decreased HDL-C(OR=0.68,95% CI:0.55-0.84), elevated LDL-C(OR=0.68,95% CI:0.55-0.85), one abnormality (OR=0.68,95% CI:0.55-0.84),two abnormality(OR=0.67,95% CI:0.54-0.84)and four abnormality(OR=0.44,95% CI:0.20-0.97)(all P<0.05). However, moderate PA did not affect the different types of dyslipidemia(all P>0.05). Conclusions Our study suggested that appropriate high intensity of physical activity is a protective factor for dyslipidemia of male mine workers.

Abstract:
Objective To investigate serum total bilirubin(TBIL) distribution and its relation to dyslipidemia among children and adolescents. Methods A cross-sectional survey was performed among students from seven schools in Yixing City and 3 787 subjects who completed physical examination and blood biochemistry test after signing informed consent were included in the final analysis. Independent sample t test was performed to compare the differences of TBIL between male and female in different age groups. One-way ANOVA was performed to compare TBIL level among age group. Univariate and multiple logistic regression were applied to evaluate the risk of dyslipidemia according to TBIL level. Results The TBIL level increased with age continuously in 6-16 group both in male and female(all P_trend<0.05). The TBIL level of male were significantly lower than female in 7-, 8- and 10- age groups (all P<0.05). TBIL was positively correlated with high density lipoprotein and negatively correlated with triglyceride both in male and female (all P<0.001). TBIL was positively correlated with total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein in female (all P<0.001). Compared with the lowest quartile TBIL subjects(Q1), the subjects in Q2(OR=0.690,95% CI:0.568-0.739,P<0.001),Q3(OR=0.575,95% CI:0.471-0.701,P<0.001),Q4(OR=0.552,95% CI:0.451-0.676,P<0.001) group were in lower risk of dyslipidemia after adjustment for age, sex and body mass index. Conclusions The serum TBIL ascended with age in children and adolescents, TBIL level of male was higher than female in old age group. High TBIL level could reduce the risk of dyslipidemia.

Abstract:
Objective To investigate the association between polymorphisms and haplotypes of IKBKAP and the risk of developing lung cancer. Methods Case control study was conducted to recruit subjects, and MALDI-TOF was employed to determine the genotype of SNPs in IKBKAP gene. The unconditional Logistic regression was performed to analyze the association between selected lung cancer susceptibility and SNPs. The Haplo.stats package of R software was used to investigate the association between haplotypes and lung cancer risk. Results Comparing with the carriers of AA and AC genotype of rs2230793, the OR for those with CC genotype was 1.386(95% CI:1.007-1.907). After adjustment for demographic characteristics, the TT genotype of rs1538660 demonstrated a reduced lung cancer risk with an adjusted OR of 0.713 (95% CI:0.515-0.986) when comparing with CC genotype. Similarly, the TT genotype of rs1538660 was also associated with reduced lung cancer risk when comparing with the carriers with CC and CT genotype with an adjusted OR of 0.724 (95% CI:0.530-0.988). The carriers of TA haplotype consisted by rs1538660 and rs3204145 demonstrated a reduced lung cancer risk with an OR of 0.862 (95% CI:0.753-0.987). Conclusions The polymorphisms in IKBKAP gene may be associated with lung cancer risk.

Abstract:
Objective To explore the association of human leukocyte antigen-DQ (HLA-DQ)polymorphisms with outcome of hepatitis C virus (HCV)infection. Methods Two variants of rs2856718 and rs7453920 were genotyped among 262 HCV spontaneous clearance cases, 339 persistent HCV infection cases and 942 uninfected controls by using TaqMan technology. Results Logistic regression analyses showed that the genotype AG of rs2856718 significantly decreased the risk of HCV infection (adjusted OR=0.73, 95% CI:0.56-0.94). Moreover, the genotype AA of rs7453920 was correlated with elevated risk HCV infection (adjusted OR=1.75, 95% CI:1.01-3.03). Haplotype analysis also showed that haplotype AA significantly increased the risk of HCV infection (adjusted OR=1.67, 95% CI:1.11-2.52). Stratified Analysis suggested that the frequency of rs2856718 AG genotyoe in HCV infected group was much lower than that of uninfected control group among male patients (adjusted OR=0.68, 95% CI:0.51-0.93); the frequency of rs7453920 GG genotyoe in HCV infected group was much higher than that of uninfected control group among people who was 45 to 60 years old (adjusted OR=2.35, 95% CI:1.11-4.98). Conclusions HLA-DQ polymorphisms might play a vital role in the outcome of HCV infection.

Abstract:
Objective To study the epidemiological features of hepatitis C in Hunan and the short-term forecast of its incidence tendency. Methods Descriptive epidemiological methods were adopted to analyze data from report information management system of communicable diseases of China from 2010 to 2015 for hepatitis C infection status in Hunan province. Exponential smoothing method was adopted to create model to forecast the short-term incidence tendency of hepatitis C in Hunan from 2016 to 2017. Results From 2010 to 2015, 60 328 cases of hepatitis C were reported in Hunan Province, including 32 597 males cases and 27 731 female cases, and the gender ratio was 1.18:1. The annual average incidence rate was 18.337/100 000 with an annually-ascending tendency. The average growth rates of newly-emerging cases and incidence rates were 22.39% and 20.86% respectively. There was an obvious seasonality characterized in peaking in spring and summer with a peak in March. The most four densely-distributed regions were Huaihua (10 138, 16.8%), Shaogyang(7 335, 12.16%), Hengyang (7 016, 11.63%) and Changsha (6 530, 10.82%).The case numbers started to rise sharply from those aged 20 and above and reached a peak among people aged 40-50, presenting a conspicuous age specific feature. Among populations with different occupations, peasants occupied the largest percentage (50.00%). The incidence of hepatitis C in Hunan from 2016 to 2017 would decrease compared with that in 2015, and the average monthly incidence rates of 2016 and 2017 was predicted to be 14.769/100 000, 13.687/100 000 respectively. Conclusions There has been an ascending tendency of hepatitis C in Hunan between 2010 and 2015; Winters Additive Method is suitable for the short-term forecast of hepatitis C in Hunan. Reality situation and accurate forecast of incidence should be well-combined for the promotion of the preventive works of hepatitis C in Hunan.

Abstract:
Objective To understand the epidemiological characteristics and pathogen patterns of hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) in Hebei Province during 2011-2015 and provide scientific evidence for the development of HFMD prevention and control measures. Methods The cases reported from the National Disease Surveillance Information Management System and laboratory testing results in Hebei Province from 2011-2015 were analyzed with the descriptive epidemiology. Results A total of 349 113 HFMD cases were reported from 2011 to 2015, with anannual incidence of 95.91/100 000. The incidence rate in 2012 and 2014 was significantly higher than in other years, presenting an epidemic phenomena of peaking every other year.There was an obvious temporal distribution of the cases, the main peak occurred in 5-7 months and the second peak or "tail" peak was in 10-12 months. The major cases afflicted with HFMD were children less than five years old, and especially those aged 1-3 years old.The epidemic in different regions was different, so the method of cluster analysis and assigned evaluation were conducted according to the incidence and severe rates, which were used as the classification index. The results showed that Langfang, Cangzhou, Hengshui, Shijiazhuang, Baoding and Chengde were the focus for prevention and control. The pathogen composition was slightly different during the five years. In 2013 and 2015, having superseding coxsachievirus A16(CoxA16) and enterovirus 71(EV71), other enteroviruses became the predominantly prevailing pathogens,accounting for 44.89% and 66.23%, respectively. Conclusions It showed a certain characteristics in seasonal, populational and regional distribution of HFMD in Hebei Province. We should pay more attention to the changes of pathogens and the key areas of prevention and control of HFMD should be enhanced.

Abstract:
Objective To analyze the developing level of developmental coordination disorder (DCD) in preschool children in Yangzhou, so as to provide a theoretical basis for early prevention, diagnosis and intervention of DCD. Methods 1 454 children aged from 3 to 7 years in three kindergartens of Yangzhou were recruited to the movement assessment battery for children test (M-ABC) by random. Developmental screen test(DST)and the Wechsler preschool and primary scale of intelligence (WPPSI) were used to exclude the mentally retarded (MR) children. DCD was diagnosed using the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental Disorders-IV (DSM-IV). Results The survey found that 5.2% children suffered from DCD, 12.0% children were suspicious with it. The incidences of DCD in boys and suspected case (7.3% and 14.0%) were higher than those in girls (2.7% and 9.7%), which were different in manual dexterity and dynamic equilibrium (all P<0.001). The incidences of children with DCD and suspected case varied in different aged children (χ²=18.502,P=0.005), from 4-group, 6-7 group, 5-group and 3-group by descending. M-ABC scores were different in manual dexterity and target grip (all P<0.001). Conclusions The prevalence of DCD in preschool children in Yangzhou was not optimistic, the capacities of manual dexterity and target grip were developed retardation relatively. The training should be strengthened to improve the movement coordination of children, depending on the features of coordination in different genders and ages.

Abstract:
Objective To explore the using of structural equation modeling for evaluating the treatment compliance of asthma patients and determining treatment compliance factors, so as to provide references improving treatment compliance. Methods 366 asthma patients were investigated with the Asthma-PRO instrument.Structural equation modeling was applied to establish the model about the above factors on the treatment compliance. Results The structural equation modeling found as the following. In physical domain, the improved physical function could increase treatment compliance, meanwhile satisfaction was a regulator between physical function and treatment compliance. In psychological domain,the reduction of negative psychology such as terror and depression could enhance the treatment compliance. In social domain, more social activities and supports lead to a better treatment compliance. Conclusions Physical function, psychological states, social activity, social support and satisfaction are closely related to treatment compliance. In order to increase treatment compliance, it is critical to improve physical function, afford mental intervention, create opportunity for exchange,increase the human care.

Abstract:
Objective To elaborate the basic theory of agent-based model (ABM), and to promote the application in medical research. Methods We briefly introduced basic concept, implementation step, and software operation of ABM in this review. At the same time, an example related to seasonal influenza epidemic control was used to demonstrate the application of agent-based model in medicine. Results The discontinuous weekend-extension strategies can reduce the overall disease attack rate of seasonal flu. Particularly, continuous extension adequately reduce the epidemic and control the spread of disease. Conclusions ABM provides a new option to solve complex medical problems, and can be used as a complement to the traditional modeling methods.

Abstract:
Foodborne disease is one of the most highlighted public health issue in the world with the rapid development of food supply chain system. The spreading of foodborne disease across the world not only affects human health, but also causes serious disease burden, hinders the development of society, which has become an important social problem. With the transition of preventive medicine and diet culture, there is a rapid innovation in foodborne disease prevention and control study. The studies not only include the descriptive study of foodborne disease situation, but also the analytical study on risk factors and the intervention study of foodborne disease prevention and control. This paper aimed to review the studies in foodborne disease prevention and control of the world.

Abstract:
As with high incidence of chronicity, hepatic fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has become global problems of public hygiene. How to enhance the immunoregulatory ability of immunocytes turned out to be one of the key factors influencing the results of anti-HCV therapy. This review will summarize the survey of HCV infection and therapy, the association of PD-1 with anti-HCV immune response, and the roles of PD-1/PD-L1 blocking in anti-HCV. In chronic HCV patients, PD-1 level on dysfunctional HCV-specific CD8⁺ T cells was increased, and the virus-induced T cell dysfunction could be partly restored by PD-1/PD-L1 blocking. In HCV infection, the increased PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitory signal participates in the CTLs inhibition and CD8⁺T cell differentiation. It's also reported in clinically that anti-HCV immune response could be enhanced by PD-1/PD-L1 blocking. Therefore, it's of great importance to explore the mechanisms of HCV-induced PD-1 increasing and PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitory signal induced T cell dysfunction, which will contribute to the prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines for HCV infection, and lastly better HCV therapy.
