Abstract:
Considering the incidence of metabolic diseases has been increasing in recent years, and seriously affecting human health and quality of life, it is of great urgency to carry out in-depth research on the prevention and treatment of metabolic diseases. The cold environment is closely related to the body metabolic status. Recent studies have shown that exposure to cold environment can increase adipose tissue thermogenesis, enhance the body metabolic rate, and improve metabolic disorders. Based on the characteristics and mechanisms of cold environment on body metabolic status, it is significant to explore and identify the cold environment mediated signaling pathways, and provide new strategies for the prevention and treatment of metabolic diseases.Therefore, this review aims to systematically summarize the three major pathways (neurohumoral signals, immune cell pathways, and lipid metabolites) that mediate adipose thermogenesis by cold environment stimulus, and further reveals the great value and significance of cold environment in the transformation research of metabolic disease prevention and treatment.

Abstract:
  Objective   We aimed to find out the dietary patterns and analyze the relationship between influencing factors (especially dietary patterns) and prediabetes in Chinese rural elderly.   Methods   Data were obtained from the Chinese nutrition and health surveillance during 2010 to 2012, and a total of 4 577 participants aged 60~79 years old were included. A food frequency questionnaire was performed to conduct a dietary survey. Factor analysis was used to extract dietary patterns, while Logistic regression models were used to analyze relationship between dietary patterns and prediabetes. In addition, classification tree model was applied to analyze the influencing factors of prediabetes.   Results   Three dietary patterns were found among the elderly participants by factor analysis, including the wheat-coarse cereals, fruit-vegetables, and aquatic-beans-eggs patterns. The result of Logistic analysis showed that there was an interaction between wheat-coarse cereals pattern and aquatic-beans-eggs pattern.In detail, the T3 level of wheat-coarse cereals pattern and the T1 level of aquatic-beans-eggs pattern was associated with low risk of prediabetes(OR=0.518, 95% CI:0.328-0.819), while the T1 level of wheat-coarse cereals pattern and the T4 level of aquatic-beans-eggs pattern was associated with high risk of prediabetes(OR=2.060, 95% CI:1.347-3.151). In addition, eight influencing factors and three group at high-risk for prediabetes were identified by classification tree model. The influencing factors were central obesity, BMI, income, age, aquatic-beans-eggs pattern, wheat-coarse cereals pattern, fruit-vegetables pattern, and drinking.   Conclusions   Our results suggest that dietary factors are closed related to prediabetes, and adopting a balanced diet, maintaining a healthy weight and good living habits may help to reduce the risk of prediabetes in chinese rural eldery.

Abstract:
  Objective   The purpose of this study was to examined gender differences in the association between dietary patterns and the risk of hypertension.   Methods   A multistage stratified random cluster sampling method was used to carry out a dietary nutrition survey on 2 667 males and 2 982 females in Shanxi Province. The intake of each food was evaluated by food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) containing 64 food groups, and the dietary patterns were extracted and named by factor a-nalysis. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between hypertension and dietary patterns in different genders.   Resultsc   Four dietary patterns were derived in men:high protein pattern; high fat and sweet pattern; grain, potato and pickles pattern; vegetable and fruit pattern; Five dietary patterns were derived in women:low carbohydrate pattern; grain and vegetable pattern; high protein pattern; high fat and sweet pattern; potato pickles pattern. There are three similar dietary patterns:high protein pattern; high fat and sweet pattern; potato and pickles pattern. The results of the Logistic regression model analysis showed that OR=1.361(95% CI:1.069-1.732, P=0.012) for high fat and sweet pattern of man, OR=1.357(95% CI:1.064-1.731, P=0.014) for low carbohydrate pattern of woman.   Conclusions   The relationship between dietary patterns and hypertension is different between man and woman. High fat and sweet pattern of man and low carbohydrate pattern of woman may increase the risk of hypertension.

Abstract:
  Objective   To observe the differences of diet structure as well as intestinal microflora between patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) combined with obesity and healthy people, so as to provide evidence for the reconstruction of intestinal microflora in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with obesity through nutritional therapy.   Methods   32 patients and 32 health volunteers were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criterias. A Semi-quantitative food frequency method as well as 3d-24h dietary investigations were used to collect the food intake data of the two groups within one year, and the principal component analysis was used to evaluate the dietary patterns differences of the two years.Meanwhile, the differences of abundance and the composition of the gut microbiota were analyzed by Illumina Miseq high-throughput sequencing after feces collection and DNA extraction.   Results   The main dietary pattern characteristic of T2DM combined with obesity group was the consumption of more fat while the vegetables intake was low, while the healthy volunteers had a more balanced dietary pattern of cereals, vegetables and protein. In terms of the gut microbiota, the diversity in patients was significantly lower than that in healthy groups. Below the phylum level, the relative abundance of Ruminococcaceae(P < 0.001, FDR=0.037), Clostridiales(P < 0.001, FDR=0.014)and Blautia(P=0.042, FDR=0.049)which were correlated with dietary fiber was lower in T2DM combined with obesity group when compared with health group.   Conclusions   Imbalanced dietary pattern and insufficient dietary fiber intake may be related to the occurrence of T2DM combined with obesity by affecting the structure and abundance of intestinal microecology.For the nutritional treatment of T2DM patients combined with obesity, attention should be paid to the dietary structure balance and dietary fiber supplement.

Abstract:
  Objective   To investigate the effects of different noise exposure levels on the cardiovascular system, so as to evaluate whether there was an interactive effect between occupational noise exposure and other exposures (ambient temperature or harmful gas exposure).   Methods   Retrospective cohort study designs were used. Occupational health examination results from 2014 to 2018 in the largest chemical enterprise in Anhui, China, were collected. According to the noise exposure assessment, selected subjects were divided into high-exposure group (≥ 80 dB(A)), medium-exposure group (70-79 dB(A)) and low-exposure group (< 70 dB(A)). The ambient temperature was graded (Grade I-IV) according to the high temperature operation classification standard. SPSS 23.0 software was used to establish the Cox regression models to analyze exposure-effect relationship. χ2 test was applied to compare the constitution of cigarette usage, alcohol intake, regular exercise and others among the three exposure groups.   Results   Compared with the low-exposure group, workers exposed to occupational noise ≥ 80 dB(A) and 70-79 dB(A) were at risk for hypertension, respectively, with hazard ratio(HR)and 95% confidence interval of 1.85 (95% CI:1.36-2.52) and 1.29 (95% CI:1.03-1.60). Occupational exposure to noise levels above 80 dB(A) could increase the risk of electrocardiogram abnormality (HR=1.31, 95%CI:1.06-1.63). In addition, workers exposed to both high temperature and occupational noise ≥ 80 dB(A) exhibited a further increased risk of hypertension (HR=8.98, 95% CI:3.25-24.86).   Conclusions   Occupational noise exposure can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in occupational population, and there is an interactive effect between occupational noise exposure and high temperature.

Abstract:
  Objective   To explore the relationship between resting heart rate (RHR) and risk of cardiovascular diseases in Jiangsu Province and to provide scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.   Methods   A community-based screening project on high-risk of cardiovascular diseases was conducted in 6 sites of Jiangsu Province from 2015 to 2018, and 95 210 participants were included in the study. The participants were divided into 5 groups according to the RHR measurement value: ≤ 68.5, 68.5-, 74-, 81- and >90 beats/min(bpm). The relationship between RHR and cardiovascular disease risk was analyzed by using non-conditional Logistic regression model.   Results   The high-risk rate of cardiovascular diseases was 25.10% (23 897/95 348). Compared to the RHR < 68.5 bpm group, the cardiovascular disease risk was lower in the 68.5- bpm group (OR=0.90, 95% CI:0.86-0.94), and the groups of 81- and >90 bpm group increased the risk (OR=1.11, 95% CI:1.06~1.17; OR=1.52, 95% CI:1.43-1.61). Male with RHR > 90 bpm had higher OR (1.65) of cardiovascular disease risk than women (OR=1.35) and participants aged 35-45 years with RHR > 90 beats/min had the highest OR of 2.03.   Conclusions   The elevated RHR (>90 bpm) increased the risk of cardiovascular disease among 35-75 group in Jiangsu Province, and the risk is higher in man and those aged 35 - 45 years.

Abstract:
  Objective   To investigate the treatment and control rates of hypertension among HIV-infected individuals in Taizhou City and provide evidences for prevention and control of hypertension.   Methods   Data was assessed from baseline survey of Comparative HIV and Aging Research in Taizhou (CHART) in 2017 and HIV-infected individuals who met diagnostic standard of hypertension at baseline were surveyed when they came to local Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to receive regular follow-up medical care and assessment, between September and December 2019. Questionnaire interview and physical examination were carried out.   Results   Rates of hypertension treatment and control were 44.2% and 54.5%, respectively. The rate of hypertension treatment were significantly higher among those aged over 45 years, with family history of hypertension and hyperlipemia (all P < 0.05). The rate of hypertension control was significantly lower among those on antihypertensive therapy than those without antihypertensive therapy (χ2=12.067, P < 0.001). Among those on antihypertensive therapy, family history of hypertension (aOR=0.153, 95% CI:0.055-0.420) and have been diagnosed with mild (aOR=0.130, 95% CI:0.041-0.406) or moderate and severe hypertension (aOR=0.263, 95% CI:0.075-0.915) at baseline were significantly associated with rate of hypertension control, whereas among those without antihypertensive therapy, only the time of antiviral treatment ≥ 6 years (aOR=0.355, 95% CI:0.165-0.765) was significantly associated with rate of hypertension control. No significance difference in hypertension control was found between those using single treatment drug and those using combined treatment drugs.   Conclusions   The hypertension treatment and control rates among HIV-infected individuals in Taizhou City remain to be improved. There is an urgent need for blood pressure screening and treatment management among HIV-infected individuals. Further research is needed to develop the effective hypertension treatment strategies for this population.

Abstract:
  Objective   To investigate the distribution of human immunodeficiency virus type 1(HIV-1) strain genotypes and recombinants, simultaneously trace original transmission of which in Yunnan Province from 2014 to 2018.   Methods   A total of 2 604 HIV/acquired immune deficiency syndrome(AIDS) plasma specimens with epidemiological information were collected during 2014 to 2018 from 16 prefectures of Yunnan Province. HIV-1 pol genes were amplified, Genotyping, BLAST tool of online analysis and MEGA 6.06 software were used to determine strain subtypes. By calculating genetic distance and phylogenetic tree analysis, we elucidated the distribution characteristics of HIV-1 gene subtypes in Yunnan Province.   Results   A total of 1 843 pol sequences were successfully amplified and sequenced. The major subtypes with proportion of HIV-1 strains in our province are CRF08_BC (55.8%), CRF07_BC (13.4%), CRF01_AE (14.3%), C subtype (3.1%), B (B') subtype (2.6%), unique recombinant forms(URFSs) (8.1%), and others (2.7%), respectively. CRF08_BC was the dominant subtype compared with other subtypes. There were statistically significant differences in the distribution of HIV-1 genotypes in age, infected routes, and ethnicity(all P < 0.05). Moreover, significantly differences of HIV-1genotypes distribution were also found between 16 prefectures of Yunnan Province(all P < 0.05). Among them, Dehong, Baoshan and Nujiang were dominated by CRF01-AE subtype, Lijiang and Diqing were dominated by CRF07-BC subtype, and the rest prefectures were dominated by CRF08_BC.   Conclusions   The CRF08_BC is the predominant epidemic HIV-1 subtype in 16 prefectures of Yunnan Province, and all kinds of HIV common subtypes exist. New circulation recombinant forms(CRFs) are still emerging. Compared with the data from 2012 to 2014, the subtypers of HIV-1 gene in Yunnan Province have changed in terms of areas, ethnicity, ages and transmitted routes, which should be closely monitored.

Abstract:
  Objective   To analyze epidemiological characteristics of measles in Zhongshan City and to estimate the vaccine effectiveness (VE) of measles containing vaccine (MCV).   Methods   Descriptive epidemiological methods were applied to analyze the incidence of measles during the period from 2005 to 2018. A case-control study design was used to estimate the VE of MCV. MCV vaccination data were obtained from field survey of vaccination rate in Zhongshan in 2017 and 2018.   Results   A total of 6 516 measles cases were reported in Zhongshan from 2005 to 2018. The average annual incidence was 15.4/105, ranging from 0.5/105 (2017) to 63.7/105 (2005). The incidence reached peak from April to September. The male to female ratio was 1.4:1. The majority of measles cases were scattered children (59.4%). 77.4% of meas-les cases aged from 8 months to 10 years had MCV unvaccinated. In 2017 and 2018, the vaccination rate of MCV in Zhongshan was 97.6% and 98.4% respectively, and the timely vaccination rate of the first-dose of MCV was 65.2% and 58.0% respectively. Among children aged 1-10 years, VE estimates were 93%(95% CI:89%-96%)and 96% (95% CI: 93%-98%) for one dose and two doses of MCV, respectively.   Conclusions   The incidence of measles decreased significantly from 2005 to 2018 and kept low in recent years, but the spread of measles virus was not interrupted. We should continue to strengthen measles surveillance, and maintain a high level of vaccination rate and timely vaccination rate of MCV, and finally achieve the goal of measles elimination.

Abstract:
  Objective   To explore the lag-correlation between Particulate matter with particle size below 10 mic(PM10) and the risk of lung cancer death in Nanjing, China.   Methods   We collected daily mortality and air pollution data of Nanjing from 2013 to 2017. Generalized additive model (GAM) and distributed lag non-linear models (DLNM) were used to estimate the effects of short-term exposure to PM10 on daily lung cancer mortality.   Results   A total of 14 693 deaths from lung cancer in Nanjing from 2013 to 2017, with the average daily death from lung cancer was 8.05. The proportion of men (72.20%) was higher than that of women (27.80%); The daily average PM10 concentration was 103.91 μg/m3, with obvious seasonality trend, and the daily average PM10 concentration exhibited a declining trend from 2013 to 2017 (χ2=120.16, P < 0.05); Short-term exposure to PM10 had the highest risk of mortality on the day (lag0), and the effect disappeared after lag4; with the increaseed of PM10 concentration, the risk of death increased; With each 10 μg/m3 increaseed in PM10 concentration, the maximum excess risk of death at lag 3 day was 1.004 3 (1.001 0-1.007 7) for the single-day effect, the maximum excess risk of death at lag 0-6 was 1.008 0 (1.002 5-1.013 5) for the multiple-day cumulative effect of PM10 exposure. The single-day effect and multi-day cumulative effect on the risk of lung cancer death among different seasons, different genders and different age groups were different, with each 10 μg/m3 increaseed in PM10 concentration.   Conclusions   There was a positive lag-association between PM10 and daily lung cancer mortality in Nanjing, with the concentrations of PM10 increased, the lung cancer death risk got higher.

Abstract:
  Objective   To investigate the relationship between post-operative chemotherapy, prognosis and side-effects of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).   Methods   This study enrolled a total of 188 patients with ESCC in the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University and Fujian Cancer Hospital from June 2014 to November 18th 2018. The cumulative survival rates were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and comparisons were performed using the log-rank test. The Cox proportional hazards model was performed for analysis of the impact factors of survival and the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare side-effects of chemotherapy regimens. The unconditional Logistic regression was performed to analyze the correlation between postoperative chemotherapy regimens and side-effects.   Results   The chemotherapy regimen was an independent risk factor for poor survival of ESCC patients. Compared with "docetaxel (DOC)+cisplatin (DDP)/nedaplatin (NDP)" group, ESCC patients in "paclitaxel (PTX)+luoplatinum (LBP)/oxaliplatin (OXA)" group and "DOC +LBP/OXA" group had better overall survival. The post-operative chemotherapy regimen was related to blood/bone marrow abnormalities and other side-effects (χ2=11.741, P=0.008). Compared with "DOC+DDP/NDP" group, "DOC+LBP/OXA" group increased the risk of leukocyte reduction (OR=4.089, 95% CI:1.073~15.585, P=0.039) and decreased the risk of lymphocyte reduction (OR=0.257, 95% CI:0.075~0.878, P=0.030).   Conclusions   The chemotherapy regimen is the impact factor for the prognosis and side-effects of patients with ESCC. The prognosis of "DOC+LBP/OXA" group and "PTX+LBP/OXA" group is better than "DOC+DDP/NDP" group. The "DOC+LBP/OXA" group reduces the risk of side-effects.

Abstract:
  Objective   To discuss the effect of orphanin FQ (OFQ) and pregnancy complications and their interaction on postpartum depression (PPD).   Methods   A total of 200 pregnant women were selected from the Yinchuan Maternal and Child Health Hospital and the Zhongwei Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. The OFQ level, family factors, pregnancy complications and 42 days postpartum depression were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, self-designed questionnaire, and the Edinburg Postnatal Depression Scale.   Results   The OFQ level 48.52 (37.56, 57.13) pg/ml in the postpartum depression group was higher than that in the control group 18.37 (16.63, 25.35) pg/ml, and the difference was statistically significant (Z=-6.761, P < 0.001). The prevalence rate of postpartum depression with poor relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law (P=0.014) and pregnancy complications (χ2=6.505, P=0.011) were higher than that in normal female. Unconditional logistic regression analysis showed that OFQ (OR=21.464, 95% CI:6.859-67.167, P< 0.001) and pregnancy complications (OR=3.600, 95% CI:1.013-12.794, P=0.048) was risk factors of PPD. Interaction model analysis showed an interaction between OFQ and pregnancy complications (OR=2.229, P=0.021).   Conclusion   OFQ and pregnancy complications are risk factors for PPD.

Form the confirmation of the first imported case on Jan 21th to Apr 1th, 2020, the increase of cases first experienceed a period of rapid growth, and the early reported were mainly imported cases. The number of local new cases exceeded the number of imported new cases after Feb 2th. In the middle of February, the number of cases tended to be stable. The period from late Feb to 14th Mar was a regression period for the sustained increase in the number of cured cases. The first clinical symptom was fever in 52.7% of the cases, but some cases had gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea and nausea. The gene-ration spacing of clustered cases was 5.0 (2, 9)days, the median incubation period of first-generation cases was 7.5 (5, 11) days, and the median incubation period of second-generation cases was 10.0 (7, 14) days. The cumulative incidence rate in each city was positively correlated with the migration index of the corresponding city, with the correlation coefficient r=0.628 (P=0.016).   Conclusions   The overall outbreak of COVID-19 in Hunan has been under control, but there is great pressure to prevent and control imported cases. Meanwhile, resuming work and study has increased the population migration, and the current situation of epidemic prevention and control is still severe.

Abstract:
  Objective  This study aimed to analyze the relation of regional distributions between coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) imported cases and global cases and help policy making for accurate prevention.  Objective  Regional data of global cases and imported cases from other countries or districts to China were collected. Descriptive epidemiology and Spearman correlation analysis were used in statistical analysis.  Results  Up to April 9th, the number of 995 COVID-19 imported cases from abroad were reported, most in Shanghai (20.20%), Guangdong (17.59%), Beijing (17.19%) and Heilongjiang (8.74%).The imported cases were mainly from the United Kingdom (27.74%), the United States (14.87%), Russia (12.16%), Spain (8.74%), respectively.Spearman correlation analysis were performed between cases in 6 regions of WHO member countries (and regions) and imported cases from these regions, 4 regionsincluding the regions of European, Americas, Eastern Mediterranean and African were showed statistical significances(all P < 0.05).  Conclusions  Our study showed an overall correlation between the COVID-19 imported cases to China and the cases in these countries. Epidemic of COVID-19 might be underestimated in some countries and regions with poor health systems and resources. Therefore, we should pay more special attentions to backward countries and regions in Africa, Southeast Asia and South America to reduce the number of imported cases. Riska ssessment of imported epidemic also need to be conducted according to regional distribution in each province to prevent accurately and manage precisely.

Abstract:
  Objective  To analyze the use of masks and disinfection products and their influencing factors during the outbreak of 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), and to provide scientific basis for epidemic prevention and control.  Objective  We evaluated the reliability and validity of the questionnaire with Cronbach's α coefficient and KMO value. Through the internet we investigated the demographic characteristics, the use of masks and disinfection products from March 4 to 5 in 2020. In our study, we also analyzed the influencing factors of using masks and disinfection products.  Results  1 713 valid questionnaires in total were collected and 492 residents were male (28.72%). Among them, 382 (24.12%) thought it would be safe to wear multiple masks. In addition, there were 269 (15.70%) believed that masks could be used after being boiled and 265 (15.47%) thought that masks sprayed with alcohol could be used. There were 1 529 (89.26%) using disinfection products in the last month. The main sites of disinfection were door handle/switch/button (84.96%), floor (71.88%) and toilet/urinal (70.70%), respectively. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that residents with higher education, older age, higher monthly income, and enterprise staff were used more masks and disinfection products.  Conclusions  During the epidemic of COVID-19, the rate of residents who used masks and disinfection products were high. But there were still some misunderstandings. Education level, age, occupation and monthly income had an impact on wearing masks and using disinfection products, so targeted publicity and education should be conducted.

Abstract:
  Objective  The purpose of this study was to explore the risk factors of breast cancer-related upper limb lymphedema (BCRL) in postoperative patients.  Methods  There were 62 patients were enrolled from the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College in the present study from July 2008 to November 2019. The 5-point circumference measurement method combined with the Norman questionnaire to assess the occurrence of upper extremity lymphedema, and to analyze the incidence and risk factors of BCRL according to the clinical data.  Results  Of the 62 patients, upper limb lymphedema occurred in 22 (35.5%), 20 had mild edema, and 2 had moderate edema. Univariate analysis results suggest that BCRL is related to the patient's age, body mass index (BMI), number of axillary lymph node dissection, axillary group Ⅲ lymph node dissection, and postoperative time (all P < 0.05). Binary logistic multivariate analysis results suggest that age, BMI, and postoperative time are independent risk factors for BCRL (all P < 0.05).  Conclusions  BCRL had a certain incidence, and it can occur in the early postoperative period, especially for patients age ≥ 53 years old, BMI ≥ 27 kg/m2, and those who accepted operation more than 6 months, preventive interventions should be action taken to prevent and reduce the occurrence of BCRL.

Abstract:
  Objective  To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of pre-hospital emergency trauma patients in Beijing from 2011 to 2017 and to provide a theoretical basis for the formulation of comprehensive trauma prevention and control measures.  Methods  Data on first-aid trauma cases from 2011 to 2017 were collected from the Beijing Emergency Medical Center. Data were analyzed by descriptive epidemiological methods from population, time, and space angles while taking various causes of trauma into account.  Results  A total of 593 453 trauma patients were enrolled in this study. The ratio of male to female was 1.40:1. The age group of the highest incidence amount was 35-64 years old, with a percentage of 36.63%; Followed by 15-34 years old, with a percentage of 31.96%. Classified by the cause of the injury, traffic accidents accounted for the largest proportion of 28.19%. Traffic accidents were the leading cause of injury in people under 65 years old. Moreover, falls were the leading cause of injury in people aged 65 and over. Generally speaking, the number of trauma patients increased significantly by year. There were more patients in urban areas than in the suburbs. The occurrence of trauma was closely related to the activity level of the group. It was more during the day than at night, especially from 7 am to 8 am, which is the peak period of fall injury and traffic accidence injury.  Conclusions  Pre-hospital emergency trauma in Beijing has apparent characteristics of population, time, and space distribution, which is of considerable significance to guide the rational allocation of hospital first-aid resources and to formulate effective trauma prevention and control measures.
