Objective:
To investigate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in adults in Shanghai Chongming area and to analyze the relationship between metabolic syndrome and chronic kidney disease.
Methods:
A total of 7 679 residents aged 30 years and over in Chongming District of Shanghai were randomly sampled and investigated by questionnaires, physical examinations, and laboratory examinations. The metabolic syndrome was diagnosed by the diagnostic criteria of metabolic syndrome according to the Chinese Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes in 2017. According to the criteria of the International Society of Nephrology Working Group on Improving the Overall Prognosis of Kidney Diseases, estimated glomerular filration rate (eGFR)<60 ml·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1 was diagnosed as chronic kidney disease.
Results:
The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 38.61% in the total population. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 47.06% in males and 34.71% in females. Urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR), eGFR, age, smoking, waist circumference, blood glucose, blood pressure, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol and triglyceride in metabolic syndrome group were significantly higher than those in non- metabolic syndrome group. With the increase of metabolic components, eGFR decreased, and ACR increased. According to logistic regression analysis, age, male, hyperglycemia, hypertension, hypertriglyceride were risk factors for eGFR. Male, hypertension, hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceride, central obesity, smoking history, lower education level were risk factors for ACR.
Conclusion
The number of metabolic components is related to renal damage. Male, hypertension, hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceride are risk factors for early renal damage.

Objective To evaluate the cognition, attitude, and barriers of family doctor team members in chongming district of Shanghai to pharmacists joining the team and providing community pharmaceutical care. To provide the reference resources for the establishment of community pharmaceutical care management mode with appropriate suburban characteristics. Methods In a cross-section study conducted in 2020, an online questionnaire was provided to family doctor teams in 18 townships in Chongming District through group WeChat. Descriptive statistical data were used to analyze the cognition, attitude and barrier of family physician team members to community pharmaceutical care. Results Among the 555 participants in the study, 351 (63.24%) were female, 187 general practitioners (33.69%), 226 nurses (40.72%), and 142 public health physicians (25.59%). There were statistically significant differences in CPC cognition among the three classes of family doctor team members (P<0.05). 126 nurses (51.22%) and 84 public health physicians (68.85%) claimed never heard of CPC. 11.48% public health physicians and 23.58% nurses were familiar with the work content and responsibilities of community clinical pharmacists. General practitioners showed relatively high proportion of 34.76%. 34.22% of general practitioners held a "disagree attitude" against that "community pharmaceutical care can improve the medication efficacy for patients". "Insufficient investment in the health sector" and "insufficient community pharmacists" were the main obstacles to the development of community pharmaceutical care. Conclusion The attitude of family doctors in Chongming area to community pharmaceutical care was conservative. Public healthcare persons and nurses had a low awareness to community pharmaceutical care. The development of community pharmaceutical care was limited by the lack of financial investment and manpower.

Objective To assess the psychometric potential of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale-Beijing (MoCA-BJ) as a screening instrument for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in older adults in Wuhan communities of central China. Methods MoCA-BJ and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) were adopted to assess the MCI of 381 older adults from 13 communities in Wuhan in 2015. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to evaluate the construct validity of MoCA-BJ, and the relationship between all aspects of cognitive function and MoCA different dimensions. Results MoCA-BJ had acceptable reliability (w=0.76), and MoCA-BJ and MMSE estimation results were highly correlated (r=0.73, P<0.01). By comparing three measurement models through confirmatory factor analysis, we found that the MoCA-BJ scale had two factors (F1: visual space executive function, F2: memory-based other cognitive functions) in model 3, fit degree of which was higher than model 1 by one factor, and there was a statistically significant difference in the number of factors between model 1 and model 3 (χ2dif=8.73,P<0.01). Conclusions The MoCA-BJ has two underlying factors that respectively represent two highly correlated but distinct factors, cognition and visual-spatial. Uninformative items should be revised with culturally sensitive items and the cut-off point for mild impairment should also be altered.

ObjectiveThis research focused on examining the distinctive characteristics of nutrient intake and dietary patterns among long-lived elderly individuals. Additionally, the study was aimed to explore the specific dietary components that may impact the skeletal muscle mass in this particular group. MethodsThis study was conducted in the Chongming area of Shanghai, China. A total of 206 long-lived elderly individuals aged 90 or above were recruited. The 3-day 24-hour dietary recall method was used to collect dietary information and general demographic data through face-to-face interviews with professional nutritionists. The skeletal muscle mass index(SMI) was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA), and low skeletal muscle mass was diagnosed based on the 2019 Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia criteria. T-test analysis, chi-square test, and logistic regression were used to analyze the relationship between dietary nutrient intake and skeletal muscle mass. ResultsIn terms of food intake categories, compared with the long-lived elderly people with normal muscle mass, the intake of cereals containing miscellaneous beans and vegetables in the long-lived elderly people with low muscle mass was significantly lower(P<0.05). In terms of the nutrient intake, compared with the long-lived elderly people with normal muscle mass, the intake of total energy, carbohydrate, dietary fiber, vitamin D, folic acid, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, iron, and manganese in the long-lived elderly people with low muscle mass was significantly lower(P<0.05). After continuous adjustment for the covariates, multivariate logistic regression analysis found that the intake levels of folic acid and dietary fiber were important factors influencing skeletal muscle mass, Individuals with lower intake levels of folic acid and dietary fiber are at a higher risk of low muscle mass in long-lived elderly individuals [ORfolic acid T1, dietary fiber T1 (95%CI): 2.90 (1.11‒7.61); 4.09 (1.53‒10.91)]. ConclusionThe consumption of cereals that include a variety of beans and vegetables was noticeably lower in the long-lived elderly individuals with lower muscle mass when compared to those with normal muscle mass. Furthermore, low levels of folic acid and dietary fiber intake are associated with an increased risk of low skeletal muscle mass.

Objective To evaluate the quality of the clinical trial literatures published on the treatment of COVID-19 with TCM, find out the shortcomings and put forward corresponding suggestions, in order to promote TCM against COVID-19. Methods "COVID-19", "New Coronavirus Pneumonia", "TCM", "Chinese Medicine", "Clinical Trial", "Lianhua Qingwen", "Huoxiang Zhengqi", "Jinhua Qinggan", and other keywords were used to search relevant literatures in CNKI and PubMed database. Among the all the screened relevant literatures on the treatment of COVID-19 with TCM, the literature quality was assessed according to evaluation criteria of clinical trial literatures. Results A total of 463 papers related to the treatment of COVID-19 with TCM were obtained. 440 papers on theoretical research on the network pharmacology mechanism of Chinese medicine treatment of COVID-19 were excluded. Among the 23 articles included in the quality analysis, there are 3 randomized controlled studies, 1 multi-center prospective randomized controlled trial, 2 disease case report trials, and 5 uncontrolled single arm studies, 5 controlled trials and 7 retrospective studies. In the period of more than half a year, although many clinical trial documents of TCM for the treatment of COVID-19 have been published, the clinical trial design reflected in most TCM clinical trials were not standardized. There are problems in "randomness and rationality", such as no control group, no randomization design, only case studies, no blinding method in controlling bias, and insufficient objectivity in the evaluation criteria of efficacy. All of these need to be improved. Conclusion The treatment of new coronavirus pneumonia with TCM still requires more and standardized clinical trial verifications and publications to generate strong evidence-based results, such as adding control groups, increasing sample size, and using blinding methods to increase the credibility of clinical trials.
