Objective:To explore the distribution of different subsets of monocyte in peripheral blood of patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO).Methods:A cross-sectional study was performed.Fifty-nine TAO patients and 30 healthy subjects were recruited continuously in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center from January 2017 to December 2019.Clinical data of subjects were recorded, and the severity and activity of TAO were graded based on the criteria of NOSPECS and CAS.TAO patients were grouped according to clinical activity of TAO, and the patients were treated by triamcinolone acetonide (TA) injection or methylprednisolone pulse therapy (MPT) accordingly.Peripheral blood of the subjects was collected and monocytes were isolated.The proportion of different monocyte subsets was assayed by a flow cytometry.The differences in distribution of monocyte subsets between TAO group and normal control group, stable TAO group and active TAO group, TA injected group and MPT treated group were compared and analyzed.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-Sen University (No.2014MEKY005), and the written informed consent was obtained from each subject before any medical intervention.Results:The proportion of classical monocyte (CMo) subset in TAO group was (81.77%±5.53)%, which was significantly lower than (84.35±5.83)% in the normal control group ( P=0.034); the proportion of intermediate monocyte (IMo) subset in the TAO group was (10.17±4.19)%, which was significantly higher than (7.69±4.09)% in the normal control group ( P=0.006); no significant difference was found in the proportion of non-classical monocyte (NMo) subset between the two groups ( P=0.892). The proportion of CMo subset in the active TAO group was (77.29±5.80)%, which was significantly lower than (82.64±5.03)% in the stable TAO group ( P<0.01), and the proportion of IMo subset in the active TAO group was (13.79±4.82)%, which was significantly higher than (9.20±3.56)% in the stable TAO group ( P<0.01); no significant change was found in the proportion of NMo subset between the two groups ( P=0.283). There was no difference in the proportion of different TAO subsets before and after TA injection ( P>0.05). In MPT treated group, the proportion of CMo subset in TAO patients was significantly increased and the proportion of IMo subset was significantly decreased (both at P<0.05); there was no significant difference in proportion of NMo subset before and after MPT treatment ( P=0.187). Conclusions:IMo subset is enriched in patients with TAO, and the IMo subset content varies over the disease activity.MPT may inhibit the shift of CMo subset towards IMo subset.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome(MS) among adult residents with different characteristics and the relationship between serum uric acid(SUA) level and MS using the data of Chinese Adult Chronic Diseases and Nutrition Surveillance(2018) program in Anhui.Methods:Multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling was used to select participants aged 18 and over for questionnaires, physical measurements, and laboratory tests. The complex weighted method was used to estimate the prevalence of MS among residents with different characteristics. Logistic regression model based on complex sampling data was used to analyze the relationship between SUA and MS. Receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was used to evaluate the reliability of SUA in diagnosing MS and determine the optimal cutoff point.Results:A total of 7 182 participants were included and the prevalence of MS among adult residents was 29.46%. The prevalence of MS was higher in females(33.76%) than that in males(25.28%), and the difference was statistically significant( P<0.05). After adjusting for other factors, for every 10 μmol/L increase in SUA, the risk of MS increased by 4% in males( OR=1.040, 95% CI 1.019-1.061) and 7% in females( OR=1.070, 95% CI 1.059-1.082). The area under the curve(AUC) for SUA in diagnosing MS was 0.816(95% CI 0.806-0.826), with a sensitivity of 0.761 and specificity of 0.727. The optimal cutoff point for SUA was 450 μmol/L. Conclusion:The prevalence of MS among adult residents in Anhui Province is 29.46%. SUA is a risk factor for MS, and increasing SUA level indicated a higher risk of MS. The optimal cutoff value of SUA may be helpful in diagnosing MS.

Objective:Based on the data of the baseline survey of hypertension and sodium intake monitoring in Anhui province in 2019, the salt intake in adult residents was estimated.Methods:Multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling was used to select participants aged 18-69 years, questionnaire survey and related measurements were conducted. Salt intake in participants with different characteristics were estimated with complex sample and linearization of Taylor series based on design and the correlation between salt intake and blood pressure, waist circumference and BMI were tested by linear regression.Results:A total of 1 500 participants were included. The overall salt intake was 9.14 g/d, which was 9.84 g/d in men and 8.47 g/d in women ( P<0.05). The differences in salt intake across different subgroups were significant ( P<0.05). Univariate linear regression analysis showed that salt intake was positively correlated with SBP, DBP, waist circumference and BMI ( P<0.05), while multivariate linear regression analysis (adjusted for other factors) only showed a positive correlation between salt intake and BMI ( β=0.053,95% CI: 0.028-0.078, P<0.05). Conclusion:The dietary salt intake in adult residents in Anhui was higher than WHO recommendation, suggesting that public health education need to be taken to reduce salt intake.
