Objective To assess the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome (MS) in Shanghai adults according to the criteria of the US National Cholesterol Education Programme Adult Treatment PanelⅢ ( NCEP ATP Ⅲ) definition. Methods Randomly selected adults were studied by means of stratified sampling. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Shanghai with a representative sample of 7 414 Chinese adults aged 35-74 years.Results Defined by the ATPⅢ criterion, the preliminary prevalence of MS was 19.81%. The prevalence of MS was 16.21% (95%CI 15.37%-17.05% ) after age was adjusted. The prevalence of MS was higher in female than in male (22.59% vs 16.64% ,P<0.01 ), and higher in urban than rural residents( 17.43% vs 17.16% ,P<0.01 ). The prevalence of MS increased with age in both male and female, especially in females aged above 55 years. There were 19.81% subjects with over 3 risk factors. The most common combination of four components in MS were central obesity, high triglyceridemia, low high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and hypertension. Conclusions There is a high prevalence of MS in Shanghai adults. MS is increasingly becoming a noteworthy health problem. Early-diagnosis and integrated-methods of prevention and treatment of MS are mandatory.

Objective To investigate the effect of Beraprost Sodium and atorvastatin in the treatment of TIA combined carotid plaques. Method 60 cases in our hospital with TIA and carotid artery plaques were randomly divided into observation group and control group, 30 cases in each group. The observation group was received beraprost natriuretic peptide and atorvastatin calcium therapy, the control group was treated with atorvastatin calcium. 12 months later,two groups were compared with carotid plaque area change and coagulation conditions. Results Carotid plaque area in observed group was significantly less than the control group (P<0.05). The differences of platelet agglutination test(PAgT), fibrinogen(Fg) , hypersensieive 3 C-reaction protein, total cholesterol(TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), TIA recurrence rate and incidence of ischemic stroke between two groups after treatment were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Beraprost Sodium and atorvastatin has a good effect in reducing carotid plaques area, adjusting blood fat and preventing TIA and ischemic stroke, It is worthy to clinical popularization and application.

Objective To estimate the prevalence of chronic kidney disease and to identify influencing factors among patients enrolled in diabetes management by the community health centers in Shanghai. Methods A questionnaire survey and physical examination were conducted in patients with type 2 diabetes through a random sampling method. Eligible date of 1 618 subjects were enrolled in the study. Estimated glomerular filtration rate was calculated according to equation of the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study for serum creatinine. Logistic regression was performed to examine the association between risk factors and chronic kidney disease. Results The prevalence of chronic kidney disease was 43.4%, of which 16.1%were in Stage 1, 14.8%in Stage 2, 11.6%in Stage 3, and 1.0%in Stage 4/5 in the total of 1 618 patients, but only 3.6% of the patients as defined in this study were aware of their condition. A higher prevalence of chronic kidney disease in females than that in males ( 47. 3% vs 37.8%). The prevalence of chronic kidney disease increased with age (χ2tend＝38.663,P<0.01). Female gender, older age, lower education, lower monthly income per capital, long duration of diabetes, uncontrolled glycosylated hemoglobin, uncontrolled systolic blood pressure, and uncontrolled triglycerides, were influencing factors of chronic kidney disease. Conclusion The patients under diabetes management in community health centers had higher prevalence of chronic kidney disease with lower awareness. Patients with type 2 diabetes should be encouraged to control blood glucose, blood pressure and blood lipids, to reduce the risk for chronic kidney disease. 而下降,2、3期均随年龄增大而升高(2 期 χ2趋势＝34.626,3 期,均 P<0.01) .城乡患病率总体上无差别,仅见3期患病率市区高于郊区(14.4%对9.2%, χ2＝10.465,P<0.01).按糖尿病病程长短进行分层发现,总的患病率随病程延长而升高 ,2、3期也呈现同样趋势( 2 期,3 期,均 P<0.05,图1) .

【Objective】 To analyze the demographic characteristics of whole blood donors who responded to blood donation initiatives launched by our blood center, so as to formulate an efficient recruitment strategy and provide scientific reference for solving seasonal, structural and acute blood supply tensions in this region. 【Methods】 Such characteristics as age, gender, household registration, occupation, blood type, education level, number of blood donations, blood donation location and recruitment method of 21 934 whole blood donors who responded to donation appointments issued by our blood center during January 2019 to June 2020 were analyzed, and the corresponding recruitment strategy in this region was established. 【Results】 39.79% of respondents were 36~45 years old, 69.61% were males, 70.49% were non-local permanent residents, and 62.96% were with education background from junior high school to high school. Workers accounted for 36.57%, 400 mL-donation accounted for 56.87%, the percentage of blood type O reached 42.18%, and blood donors with 2~5 donations accounted for 70.27%. The proportion of blood donors from Songshan Lake area(23.46%) ranked the highest, and that from Shuixiang area the lowest (3.26%). 76.42% of donation recruitment were issued via SMS. 【Conclusion】 Blood donors 36~45 years old, with 2~5 donations, donated 400 mL blood, non-local registered male, ordinary employees with the education level of junior high school, technical secondary school or high school should firstly be considered. The targeted areas are the Songshan Lake area, the main urban area coastal areas and southeastern Dongguan near Shenzhen.The corresponding recruitment strategies should be adjusted based on needs and emergency level.
