    The health problems of left-behind children in the rural areas have become one of the hot-spots of concern for social development in China. Besides lacking the parents’ love, the necessities of life such as food, medical care and education resources are relatively scarce with left-behind children; and hence, they are more prone to malnutrition, growth retardation and other health problems. This review aims at combing and integrating the relevant research Results of nutrition, growth and development of rural left-behind children in China so as to provide suggestions and evidence for future research and formulation of relevant policies.

    Objective To investigate the status of mobile phone dependence and its influencing factors among undergraduates in three universities in Shaanxi Province so as to provide a basis for formulating targeted intervention measures. Methods A stratified cluster sampling method was used to select 838 undergraduates in three universities in Shaanxi Province to serve as the research subjects. The status of mobile phone dependence syndrome was surveyed based on the Criterion for Mobile Phone Dependence Syndrome, and multi-factor logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the factors influencing mobile phone dependence syndrome in the undergraduates. Results The detection rate of mobile phone dependent syndrome in the undergraduates was 27.2%, and the detection rate was significantly higher in males than in females, showing a statistically significant difference (χ2=44.109, P=0.000). The detection rate of mobile phone dependent syndrome was found to be higher in the urban students (χ2=18.025, P=0.000), students from families with high per capita income (χ2=6.775, P=0.000), literature, history and art majors (OR=1.437) and junior college students (OR=1.583). Students with frequent anxiety (OR=2.192), grief and helplessness (OR=1.976) had more pronounced symptoms of mobile phone dependence. Conclusions The detection rate of mobile phone dependence syndrome of the undergraduates inthreeuniversities in Shaanxi Province is higher. Universities should enhance the publicity and education about scientific use of mobile phone among the undergraduates, while the undergraduates should strengthen self supervision and management and form an attitude and habit of reasonable and scientific use of mobile phone.

    Objective To explore the expression levels of thrombin-antithrombin III complex (TAT), D-dimer (D-D) and antithrombin Ⅲ (AT-Ⅲ) in patients with atrial fibrillation and their clinical values in forecasting thromboembolism. Methods We selected 110 atrial fibrillation outpatients/inpatients confirmed by electrocardiograph in Department of Cardiology, No. 163 Hospital of the PLA from January 2016 to October 2017. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) examination, left atrium and left atrial function detection and blood flow testing were performed to judge whether there was thrombosis or embolism. In addition, 40 healthy volunteers were enrolled in this study. The levels of plasma TAT, D-D and AT-Ⅲ activity were detected in the groups of atrial fibrillation and thromboembolism, atrial fibrillation without thrombus and healthy volunteers, and the differences in expression levels of the above-mentioned indicators in the three groups were analyzed. Results About 20.91% (23/110) atrial fibrillation patients with thrombosis or embolism were detected, and no thrombus was found in the rest 87 patients. Plasma levels of TAT and D-D were higher in atrial fibrillation patients than in the healthy group; moreover, plasma levels of TAT and D-D were higher in the thrombus-positive group than in the atrial fibrillation without thrombus group (P<0.05). Plasma level of AT-Ⅲ activity were lower in the atrial fibrillation and thrombus-positive group and the atrial fibrillation and thrombus-negative group than in the control group (P<0.05), but no statistically significant difference was found in plasma level of AT-Ⅲ activity between the atrial fibrillation and thrombus-positive group and the atrial fibrillation and thrombus-negative group (P>0.05). Conclusions The levels of TAT and D-D in peripheral blood of patients with thrombotic atrial fibrillation are high, but the level of AT-Ⅲ is low, which reflect the hemotological hypercoagulable state of the patients. It has a certain reference value for predicting the risk of thromboembolism in patients with atrial fibrillation.

    Objective To study the apoptosis of human hepatoma HepG2 cells induced by dichloroacetonitrile (DCAN) and its related mechanism. Methods Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-treated HepG2 cells were selected as the control group, while 50 μmol/L and 800 μmol/L DCAN-treated HepG2 cells served as the DCAN-treated groups. The cell proliferation was detected with Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8 ). Cell cycle and apoptosis rate were analyzed by flow cytometry with annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate/propidium iodide (FITC/PI) double staining. The relative activity of caspase-3 in HepG2 cells was examined with fluorospectrophotometer assay. Results The interaction effect existed between DCAN concentration and treatment time (P<0.001). DCAN could significantly inhibit the proliferation of HepG2 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner compared with the control group (P<0.05). The proportion of HepG2 cells in G0/G1 phase was decreased in the 800 μmol/L DCAN-treated group compared with the control group, while the proportion of HepG2 cells in G2/M phase was increased. Under the DCAN concentrations, the apoptosis rate of HepG2 cells were increased in a dose-dependent manner, with the regressionequation =0.031x+5 (R2=0.915, F=64.782, P<0.001), while the caspase 3 activity was also increased in a dose-dependent manner, with regression equation =0.0016x+1 (R2=1.000,F=21,266.064,P<0.001). Conclusions DCAN can inhibit the proliferation of HepG2 cells and induce their apoptosis, and the mechanism may be related to the arrest of G2/M phase, inhibition of RNA and protein synthesis and activation of caspase-3 pathway.

    Objective To investigate the life style and dietary habit among high risk population for stroke in a hospital in Guilin region, and to analyze their risk factors. Methods We selected 683 physical examinees who met the criteria for high risk stroke population and received physical examination in Guilin People’s Hospital from January 2015 to October 2017 to serve as the high risk group, and 600 healthy physical examinees as the control group. In addition, 600 stroke patients treated in the same hospital during the same period served as the stroke group. General information, life style and dietary habit of the three groups were collected and investigated. Laboratory indicators of the three groups were compared. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the risk factors of high-risk stroke population in Guilin region. Results The proportions of males and patients aged ≥ 50 years in the high risk group and the stroke group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and body mass index (BMI) was higher in the stroke group than in the control group, showing statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). The proportions of patients with smoking, drinking and insufficient physical exercise in the high risk group and the stroke group were significantly higher than those of the control group, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). The proportions of patients with greasy taste, insufficient intake of vegetables, meat intake ≥3 times a week and sweet taste in the high risk group and the stroke group were significantly higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The levels of uric acid, fasting blood glucose, triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the high-risk group and the stroke group were significantly higher than those of the control group, while the levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were significantly lower, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors for stroke in Guilin region included males (OR=1.031), advanced age (OR=1.894), drinking (OR=2.495), lack of physical exercise (OR=1.687), greasy taste (OR=1.822), insufficient intake of vegetables (OR=1.673), excessive intake of meat (OR=1.429), high uric acid (OR=2.916), high fasting blood glucose (OR=2.127) and high blood lipids (OR=1.709) (all P<0.05). Conclusions A variety of factors are closely related to high risk of stroke in Guilin region, including males, age, drinking, lack of physical exercise, greasy taste, insufficient intake of vegetables, excessive intake of meat, high uric acid, high fasting blood glucose and high blood lipids. Therefore, effective intervention measures in clinical practice should be formulated according to the above-mentioned factors so as to achieve the purpose of prevention and control of stroke.

    Objective To investigate the characteristics of population with HIV/AIDS voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) and the status of HIV infection in Jiangyin City, and to provide a basis for developing HIV/AIDS targeted prevention and control measures. Methods All data of outpatients with HIV/AIDS voluntary counseling and testing in Jiangyin City during 2014-2016 were collected and analyzed. Results A total of 4,702 outpatients received VCT service from 2014 to 2016, and most of them had non-marital heterosexual sex, accounting for 55.21%. The proportion of outpatients with history of commercial heterosexual sex behavior showed an upward tendency year by year (χ2tendency=21.46, P<0.001), while the proportions of injection drug users (χ2tendency=15.89, P<0.001) and HIV-positive spouse/fixed sexual partner (χ2tendency=8.26, P=0.016) showed a downward tendency year by year. The positive rates of HIV and syphilis were 1.83% and 6.59% respectively, and the positive rate of HIV-syphilis co-infection was 0.68%. During the 3-year period, the positive rate of HIV decreased year by year, while the positive rate of syphilis increased year by year, without statistically significant difference in the trend (χ2tendency=0.49, P=0.783;χ2tendency=1.40, P=0.497). The positive rate of HIV was found to be higher in male outpatients (χ2=44.41, P<0.001), divorced or widowed outpatients (χ2=12.49, P=0.002), outpatients with college degree or above (χ2=45.11, P<0.001) and syphilis-positive outpatients (χ2=133.34,P<0.001). The positive rate of HIV was found to be the highest in men who have sex with men (MSM) (18.79%) followed by outpatients with HIV-positive spouse/fixed sexual partner (5.43%). The positive rates of HIV in MSM in 2014, 2015 and 2016 were 25.25%, 18.58% and 14.18% respectively, showing a gradually decreasing tendency (χ2tendency = 4.51, P=0.105). The positive rates of HIV in outpatients with HIV-positive spouse/fixed sexual partner were 3.51%, 5.26% and 8.82% respectively, showing a gradually increasing tendency (χ2tendency=1.11, P=0.573). But no statistically significant difference was found in either tendency. Conclusions Most of VCT clients in Jiangyin City during 2014-2016 were the young and middle-aged, the males and the married. VCT is an effective way to detect HIV-infected persons in time. It is necessary to strengthen HIV/AIDS detection and intervention in MSM and population with HIV-positive spouse/fixed sexual partner in future.

    Objective To analyze the changes of epidemic characteristics of mumps in different periods, and to provide evidence for formulating mumps control and prevention strategies. Methods Mumps incidence data in Xinxiang urban areas in 2004-2017 were described for three periods, the prophase of theExpanded Program on Immunization (prophase EPI) (2004-2007), the EPI period (2008-2012), and the period of booster vaccination (BV) ofmumps containing vaccine (MuCV) (2013-2017). The changes in mumps incidence of the three periods were compared. Results The average annual incidence rates of mumps in the three periods were 6.94/100,000, 4.38/100,000 and 6.01/100,000 respectively, with statistically significant differences (χ2=24.531, P<0.001). For the three periods, there were two incidence peaks, from March to June and from December to January. Students accounted for 62.33%, 54.25% and 63.48% respectively. Male to female ratios were 1.56:1, 1. 65:1 and 1.52:1 respectively. The cumulative incidence rates for the group aged 3-14 years were 40.98/100,000, 25.71/100,000 and 33.51/100,000 respectively. Conclusions The mumps incidence in Xinxiang urban areas during 2004-2017 declined after EPI. Due to the low vaccination rates of the second dose of MuCV, no colony immune protective barrier was formed to change the onset cycle of mumps. Therefore, two-dose routine MuCV immunization and other comprehensive control strategies are recommended for children under 6 years of age.

    Objective To compare and analyze the reported incidence rates of syphilis and its estimated infection rates based on population in Wuhan City, and to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics and trend of syphilis in Wuhan City. Methods The data regarding the reported syphilis cases in Wuhan City during 2010-2015 were derived from China Disease Prevention and Control Reporting System, and the changing trend of online-reported incidence rates of syphilis was analyzed. The data related to population sizes and infection rates of four types of high-risk groups were obtained from Wuhan Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The data concerning syphilis screening tests in blood donors, inpatients, pregnant women and puerperae were collected from 21 medical institutions in Wuhan City. The workbook method was employed to estimate the infection rates of the whole population in Wuhan City, and the trends were analyzed. Results The reported incidence rates of expressive syphilis in Wuhan City during 2010-2015 showed a downward tendency (Ztendency=-25.206, P<0.01), while the reported incidence rates of latent syphilis and the infection rates of syphilis in the whole population showed an upward tendency (Ztendency= 8.639, P<0.01; Ztendency=185.036, P<0.01). There was a statistically significant difference in the correlation between the reported incidence rates of latent syphilis and the infection rates of syphilis in the whole population (T=4.24, P=0.0133). Conclusions Estimating the infection rate of syphilis in the population is an important supplement to the data of online-reported syphilis incidence, which will contribute to objectively analyzing the changing trend of syphilis epidemic.

    Objective To investigate and analyze two cases of brucellosis infection in hospital cleaners in Nanchang City during 2016-2017, and to explore whether brucellosis could be transmitted to hospital staff by nosocomial Brucella pollutants. Methods We analyzed the correlation between hospital staff with brucellosis infection and Brucella pollutants based on field epidemiological investigation and laboratory serological test. Results One case of brucellosis confirmed by laboratory serological test was treated in hospital B in Nanchang City during May 11 and May 28, 2016. One cleaner in hospital B presented with brucellosis-like symptoms on November 14, 2016, and the blood sample was Brucella culture positive. Hospital D in Nanchang City was a hospital specializing in infectious diseases, and its clinical laboratory carried out tests related to brucellosis detection all year around. Brucellosis cases were treated in hospital D separately on July 28 and October 13, 2016. One cleaner in hospital D had brucellosis-suspected symptoms in April, 2016, and the blood sample was Brucella culture positive. Investigation indicated that both sick cleaners in the two hospitals might contact Brucella pollutants and they did not receive professional training on self-protection. Conclusions The possible infection sources in two cases of brucellosis are from nosocomial Brucella pollutants and contaminated environment. Brucella pollutants can cause nosocomial infections; and hence, hospitals should enhance prevention and control of nosocomial infections and intensify propaganda concerning brucellosis prevention and treatment.

    Objective To investigate the pulmonary function of workers in cemented carbide production enterprises in Zhuzhou City, to explore the effect of cemented carbide dust on lung function of the workers, and to preliminarily discuss the setting of occupational health check items for in-service workers in cemented carbide production enterprises. Methods Four hundred and twenty-six in-service workers selected from two cemented carbide production enterprises in Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province in 2016 served as the research subjects. All the workers’ general information and history of occupation were collected through a questionnaire survey, and then their lung function was examined. All the workers were divided into the exposure group and the control group according to exposure and non-exposure to dust. The exposure group was subgrouped into the before sintering group and the sintering and after sintering group according to the properties of exposed-dust. We surveyed the current status of lung function of workers in each type of work in the two cemented carbide production enterprises in Zhuzhou City. Results Lung function test Results of the exposure group and the control group were within the normal range. After smoking, age and length of service and other mixed factors were controlled, pulmonary ventilation function indexes, VC/estimated value, FVC/estimated value and FEV1/expected value in the exposure group were significantly decreased compared with the control group(t=-5.69,P<0.001;t=-6.54,P<0.001;t=-6.24,P<0.001), while FEV1/FVC values(t=8.068,P<0.001) and MEF25%/estimated value(t=2.79,P=0.005) were significantly increased. No statistically significant difference was found in MEF50%/estimated value and MMEF/estimated value between the exposure group and the control group (t=-0.98,P=0.327;t=0.815,P=0.416). Compared with the workers engaging in jobs before sintering, pulmonary small airway function indexes, MEF25%/predicted value, MEF50%/expected value and MMEF/predicted value in the workers engaging in sintering and jobs after sintering were significantly increased(t=-2.177, P=0.030; t=-2.038, P=0.042; t=-2.321, P=0.021). Conclusions Tungsten cobalt dust and cemented carbide dust in the carbide production enterprises can lead to changes in the indicators of lung ventilation function. Pulmonary small airway function indicators may be sensitive indexes of early lung injury induced by cemented carbide, and pulmonary small airway function should serve as the necessary inspection items in the occupational health examination during the service.

    Objective To explore the effect of fine particulate matter exposure on reducing the detection rate of EF slope of mitral valve. Methods Workers with health examination in Kailuan Group were selected during the same period. Workers with first-stage pneumoconiosis served as the exposure group, while workers without dust exposure history were considered as the control group. SPSS 17.0 software was used to statistically analyze the cardiac ultrasound Results of the two groups. Results Mitral valve EF slope rate was significantly lower in the exposure group than in the control group ((73.20±20.53) mm/s vs. (78.74±24.11)mm/s, t=14.521, P<0.001). The detection rate of mitral valve EF slope reduction was higher in the exposure group than in the control group (52.4% vs. 40.5%, χ2=22.874, P<0.001). Exposure to fine particulate matters was second only to age and systolic pressure in terms of the risk factors affecting the decrease of mitral valve EF slope, and the OR value was 1.744 (95%CI:1.395-2.180) after the factors such as body mass index (BMI ) were excluded. Conclusion Fine particulate matter exposure is an independent risk factor for the decrease of mitral valve EF slope.

    Objective To conduct a benefit evaluation on the Results of bilateral capacity building activities in China-Vietnam, China-Laos and China-Myanmar border areas based on the Project of Joint HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control in China-Vietnam-Laos-Myanmar Border Areas launched by the National Health and Family Planning Commission of the People’s Republic of China, and to provide a basis for the sustainable development planning of this project and references for the promotion of cross-border cooperation on HIV/AIDS prevention and control in the border areas. Methods On the basis of the Project of Joint HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control in China-Vietnam-Laos-Myanmar Border Areas launched by the National Health and Family Planning Commission of the People’s Republic of China, a questionnaire survey was conducted among the administrators and participators in the bilateral projects in China, Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar from May to October in 2016, and then we conducted a comprehensive assessment on the acceptability of capacity building provided by the project, individual benefits from these capacity building activities and the effects of these activities on the cross-border cooperation for bilateral HIV/AIDS prevention and control. Results The acceptability of capacity building activities provided by the project in the China-Vietnam-Laos-Myanmar border areas was relatively good, and 66.4-89.6% participants gave a score of 4-5 on these trainings in satisfaction evaluation. Among all capacity building activities, the academic seminar/training course, sharing of epidemic and work experience in HIV/AIDS prevention, training about field operation skills and field investigation and communication were the most recognized approaches to capacity building in the bilateral cooperation for HIV/AIDS prevention and control. The capacity building demands in China-Vietnam-Laos-Myanmar border areas were different, but all of them called for the fund and equipment support for HIV/AIDS prevention and control. 76.9%-92.3% participants considered that although the effects of training on promotion of HIV/AIDS prevention and control were limited, the positive impacts could not be ignored, especially in the aspects of knowledge expansion, clearer working goals and improved service efficiency. Conclusions Multi-channel and multi-form bilateral capacity building activities on HIV/AIDS prevention and control have positive impacts on improving the bilateral mutual trust and enhancing the bilateral ability of joint HIV/AIDS prevention and control. However, with a view to meeting the long-term demands of cross-border cooperation on HIV/AIDS prevention and control, more effective input of bilateral resources should be motivated, more effective approaches to capacity building should be developed, and the sustainable development planning should be conducted in various aspects such as policies, funds, technologies and human resources.

    Objective To explore the prevalence and influencing factors of thyroid nodules among residents aged 50 years and above in Jinshan District and to put forward corresponding health intervention measures and prevention and treatment suggestions. Methods Stratified random cluster sampling was used to select 2,362 residents aged 50 years and above inthirteen residential committees or villages of five towns in Jinshan District of Shanghai from January to December in 2013. A questionnaire survey and thyroid ultrasonography screening were conducted, and statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 22.0 software. Results A total of 960 (40.64%) patients with thyroid nodules were detected. The prevalence rate was higher in females than in males (45.45% vs. 32.97%, χ2=36.16, P<0.001); moreover, the prevalence rate of females gradually increased with the increasing age (χ2 tendency=4.44,P=0.035). Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of suffering from thyroid nodules inresidents aged 70 years and above was 1.32 times (OR 95%CI:1.02-1.70) that of residents aged 50-60 years, and of male residents aged 60-70 years and ≥70 years respectively 1.69 times (OR 95%CI:1.11-2.57) and 1.69 times (OR 95%CI:1.06-2.69) those of male residents aged 50-60 years. The risk of male residents who ate kelp and seaweed less than 3 times per week was 1.46 times (OR 95%CI:1.01-2.10) that of male residents who did not eat, and the risk of female residents with drinking was 3.72 times (OR 95%CI:1.19-11.64) that of female residents without drinking. Conclusions Health administrative departments and medical institutions should pay more attention to elderly people, especially residents with advanced age and women, so as to detect more potential patients. It is necessary to strengthen community health publicity and education, advocate healthy life style, avoid excessive intake of iodine food, and restrict alcohol consumption or quit drinking among women.
