Objective: To investigate the degree and influencing factors of glycosylated hemoglobin ( HbA1c ) control among patients with type 2 diabetes ( T2DM ) living in rural communities of Zhejiang Province, so as to provide the reference for optimizing the management of diabetes patients in rural communities. Methods: Permanent adult patients with T2DM that were registered and received standardized management in all communities of Jiashan County and Suichang County, and 6 communities of Yongkang City, Zhejiang Province in 2016 were recruited, and their demographic characteristics were captured from the health record system and chronic disease management system. The height, body weight, waist circumstance and blood pressure were measured, and HbA1c and blood lipid parameters were detected. The degree of HbA1c control ( <7% ) was analyzed, and its influencing factors were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 10 339 patients with T2DM were enrolled, including 4 520 men ( 43.72% ) and 5 819 women ( 56.28% ), with a mean age of ( 63.54±9.78 ) years and the mean course of diabetes of ( 6.36±4.73 ) years. The rate of HbA1c control was 47.89%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that males ( OR=1.123, 95%CI: 1.024-1.233 ), region ( Suichang, OR=2.413, 95%CI: 2.106-2.765; Yongkang, OR=2.460, 95%CI: 2.188-2.767 ), course of disease ( 5-9 years, OR=1.724, 95%CI: 1.504-1.977; 10 years and longer, OR=2.881, 95%CI: 2.477-3.351 ), use of hypoglycemic drugs ( OR=1.203, 95%CI: 1.089-1.329 ), development of chronic complications ( OR=1.190, 95%CI: 1.027-1.379 ), uncontrolled blood pressure ( OR=1.140, 95%CI: 1.030-1.261 ), uncontrolled blood lipid ( OR=1.258, 95%CI: 1.104-1.433 ), and smoking ( OR=1.318, 95%CI: 1.165-1.491 ) were statistically associated with HbA1c control among T2DM patients. Conclusion The rate of HbA1c control was 47.89% among T2DM patients in rural communities of Zhejiang Province. HbA1c control should be given a high priority among men living in low-economic-level regions with long course of disease, use of hypoglycemic drugs, chronic complications, smoking, uncontrolled blood pressure and lipid.

Objective : To explore the relationship between alcohol consumption and hypertension in adults of Zhejiang Province, so as to provide scientific evidence for the prevention and control of hypertension. Methods: Data were collected from 10 national surveillance sites in Zhejiang Province in the 2018 China Chronic Disease and Risk Factors Surveillance. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to explore the relationship between alcohol consumption and hypertension in adults of Zhejiang Province. Results : Among 5 908 people included, 2 641 were males, accounting for 50.38%; and 3 267 were females, accounting for 49.62%. There were 2 721 cases of hypertension ( 28.54% ). The number of the cases with no, light and excessive alcohol consumption was 3 945, 1 117 and 846, accounting for 66.28%, 23.65% and 10.07%, respectively, after complex sampling weighting. The results of the multivariate logistic regression model showed that compared with those with no alcohol consumption, the adults with excessive alcohol consumption had higher risk of hypertension ( OR=2.126, 95%CI: 1.649-2.741 ); men with light ( OR=1.875, 95%CI: 1.075-3.270 ) and excessive alcohol consumption ( OR=2.752, 95%CI: 2.021-3.748 ) had higher risk of hypertension; the 18-<45-year-old adults with light ( OR=2.441, 95%CI: 1.171-5.087 ) and excessive alcohol consumption ( OR=3.368, 95%CI: 1.609-7.049 ), and the ≥60-year-old adults with excessive alcohol consumption ( OR=1.632, 95%CI: 1.174-2.269 ) had higher risk of hypertension. Conclusions Light and excessive alcohol consumption are associated with hypertension in Zhejiang adults. The association is stronger between excessive alcohol consumption and hypertension than between light alcohol consumption and hypertension.

Objective: To compare and analyze patient’s general condition, changes in laboratory parameters, and the spectrum of UGT1A1 mutations in patients with inherited non-hemolytic unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at Nanjing Second Hospital from January 2015 to July 2018 and patients’ demographic characteristics, liver function test, and UGT1A1 gene were analyzed. The categorical variable data were compared by χ ² test. The normal distribution continuous variable data were compared by t-test and the non-normal distribution continuous variable data were compared using Mann-Whitney U test. Results: Of the 51 patients with inherited non-hemolytic unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia, 44 (86.3%) were Gilbert’s syndrome (GS) and seven (13.7%) were Crigler-Najjar syndrome type II (CNS- II). The male to female ratio was 2.9:1 and the average age was 36.11 ± 13.17 years. Six variant types were detected: C. -40_-39insTA, C. -3279T > G, c.211G > A (p.G71R), c.686C > A (p.P229Q), c.1091C > T (p.P364L), c.1456T > G (P.Y486D). Among them, c.211G > A accounted for 58.82% (30/51), c.-40_-39insTA accounted for 27.5% (14/51), and c.1456T > G accounted for 25.5% (13/51). The total bilirubin(TB) and unconjugated bilirubin (UCB) in CNS-II patients were significantly higher than GS patients[155.91 (130 ~ 207) vs. 38.25(29 ~ 52.15) μmol/L, U = 0, P < 0.01; 144.13 (120.8 ~ 197) vs. 30.00 (21.7 ~ 46.75) μmol/L, U = 0.00, P < 0.01, respectively]. Exon mutations of c.1091C > T and c.1456T > G were statistically significant(P < 0.01).There were no differences in age, TB, UCB, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) between the c.211G > A homozygous variants and heterozygous variants (P > 0.05). Conclusion The common pathogenic mutations of UGT1A1 gene were c.211G > A, c.-40_-39insTA, c.1456T > G. c.211G > A. The mutation has little effect on the level of total bilirubin, but c.1091C > T, c.1456T > G mutations has great influence on the level of total bilirubin.

Objective: To examine the correlation between frailty and lifestyle factors among middle-aged and elderly populations, so as to provide insights into the management of frailty among middle-aged and elderly populations. Methods : Middle-aged and elderly residents at ages of 45 ot 69 years were recruited using the convenient sampling method from seven townships in Changxing County of Zhejiang Province from 2019 to 2020. The demographic characteristics and lifestyle factors were collected using questionnaires, and the frailty was measured using the Chinese version of Tilburg Frailty Indicator ( TFI ). Factors affecting frailty were identified among middle-aged and elderly populations using the multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 7 170 residents were surveyed, including 2 780 males ( 38.77% ) and 4 390 females ( 61.23% ), which had a median age of 56 (interquartile range, 10) years. The median frailty score was 2 (interquartile range, 3 ) among the study subjects, and the median frailty score was 2 ( interquartile range, 2 ) among residents at ages of 45 to 59 years, and 2 (interquartile range, 3) among residents at ages of 60 to 69 years. The overall detection of frailty was 16.07%, and the detection of frailty was 13.52% among subjects at ages of 45 to 59 years and 21.01% among subjects at ages of 60 to 69 years. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified physical activity ( OR=0.826, 95%CI: 0.719-0.949 ) and sleep quality ( OR: 3.376-11.493, 95%CI: 2.907-15.808 ) as factors affecting frailty among middle-aged and elderly residents. Following age stratification, physical activity ( OR=0.817, 95%CI: 0.681-0.981 ) and sleep quality ( OR: 3.076-11.566, 95%CI: 2.518-18.216 ) as factors affecting frailty among subjects at ages of 45 to 59 years, while sleep quality ( OR: 3.777-11.827, 95%CI: 3.002-18.547 ) significantly correlated with frailty among residents at ages of 60 to 69 years. Conclusion Physical activity and sleep quality are associated with the risk of frailty among middle-aged and elderly populations.

Morita therapy has been bom for more than 100 years.Inpatient Morita therapy is highly oper-able and easy to master.It can improve many refractory neuroses through four-stage treatment.But more neuroses are treated in outpatient clinics,and Morita therapy cannot be used in hospitalized patients.Therefore,the formula-tion of expert opinions on outpatient operations is particularly important.This paper is based on domestic and for-eign references,and after many discussions by domestic Morita therapy experts,and then drew up the first version of the expert opinions on operation of outpatient Morita therapy.Meanwhile the operation rule of Morita therapy in three stages of outpatient treatment was formulated:in the etiological analysis stage,under the theoretical guidance of Morita therapy,analyze the pathogenic factors,to improve treatment compliance and reduce resistance;during the operating stage,guide patients to engage in constructive and meaningful actions,realizing the achievement of letting nature take its course principle;in the cultivating character and enriching life stage,pay attention to positive infor-mation,expanding the scope and content of actions,improving the ability to adapt to complex life,and preventing recurrence caused by insufficient abilities.It will lay a foundation for the promotion of Morita therapy in domestic outpatient clinics,so that more patients with neurosis and other psychological diseases could receive characteristic Morita therapy treatment in outpatient clinics.

Objective: To understand the etiology of hepatopathy of unknown etiology in patients undergoing liver biopsy. Methods: Demographic data and pathological examination reports of patients with hepatopathy of unknown etiology who underwent liver biopsy examination at outpatient and inpatient of the Second Hospital of Nanjing between January 2017 and June 2018 were retrospectively collected. All liver histopathological sections combined with clinical and pathological features based on liver biopsy examinations were diagnosed by a reputed clinician and a pathologist. Results: A total of 470 cases with hepatopathy of unknown etiology who underwent liver biopsy were enrolled. Of these, 425 cases (90.4%) had a definite diagnosed disease after comprehensive analysis of pathological and clinical data. The diagnosis of hepatopathy of unknown etiology included 11 diseases: 90 cases with autoimmune hepatitis had autoimmune liver disease (19.1%), 38 cases had primary biliary cholangitis (8.1%), 43 cases with overlap syndrome of autoimmune hepatitis had primary biliary cholangitis (9.1%), 118 cases had drug-induced liver injury (25.1%), 75 cases had nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) (16.0%), 12 cases had alcoholic liver disease (2.6 cases) %), 15 cases (3.2%) had vascular liver disease, 7 cases (1.5%) had hereditary metabolic liver disease, 5 cases (1.1%) had other systemic diseases, 16 cases (3.4%) had more than two kinds of liver diseases, and 6 cases (1.3%) had others rare liver diseases. Conclusion Over 90% cause of the hepatopathy of unknown etiology in the long run can be determined, and the main causes are autoimmune liver disease, drug-induced liver injury, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, which needs multidisciplinary cooperation to diagnose, and clinicians need to master the basic and clinical knowledge of liver diseases as well as liver pathology, hepatobiliary imaging, and genetics.

OBJECTIVE To establish the fingerprint of Tibetan medicine Adhatoda vasica ，and determine the contents of vasicine and vasicinone ，so as to comprehensively evaluate its quality combined with chemical pattern recognition. METHODS Using vasicine as control ，HPLC fingerprints of 11 batches of A. vasica were established with Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatographic Fingerprints of TCM （2012 edition）. The common peaks were identified and their similarities were evaluated. Cluster analysis （CA），principal component analysis （PCA）and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis （OPLS-DA） were performed by using SPSS 25 software and SIMCA 14.1 software. The variable importance in the projection （VIP）value＞1.0 was used as the standard to screen the differential components affecting the quality of A. vasica ；the contents of vasicine and vasicinone were determined by HPLC simultaneously. RESULTS A total of 23 common peaks were found ，and peak 2 was identified as vasicine ，and peak 4 was identified as vasicinone. Their similarities ranged 0.920-0.994. The results of CA showed that 11 batches of samples were clustered into 3 categories（distance was 14）：S1-S8 as one category （origin：Yunnan，Tibet），S9 as one category （origin：Yunnan），S10-S11 as one category （origin：Sichuan）；the results of P CA and OPLS-DA showed that S 9 and S10-S11 were divided into one category respectively ，and S1-S8 were further divided into 2 categories：S1，S4 as one category，S2-S3，S5-S8 as one category ；the common peaks with VIP value ＞1.0 included peak 2，peak 16，peak 21，peak 17，peak 1 and peak 13. Among 11 batches of samples ， contents of vasicine and vasicinone were 4.12-10.22 and 0.60-3.26 mg/g， respectively. CONCLUSIONS Established edu.cn HPLC fi ngerprint and content determination method are simple and accurate ，and can be used for the quality evaluation of Tibetan medicine A. vasica ，by combining with chemical pattern recognition. Vasicine and other components may be the differential components that affect the quality of the drug.
