Objective To determine the consumption of sugar-sweetened carbonated beverage and juice/fruit-flavored drink among residents aged 15 years and above in 2013 in Shanghai. Methods Data was extracted from the 2013 Shanghai Non-communicable Disease and Risk Factors Surveillance, in which multi-stage cluster sampling was performed.A total of 25 657 subjects aged ≥15 years across the city were selected for analysis. Results In the study, 34.42% (95%CI:32.33%-36.51%) and 37.85% (95%CI:35.37%-40.32%) of the subjects consumed sugar-sweetened carbonated beverage and juice/fruit-flavored drink in 2013 in Shanghai.The proportions declined with age (P for trend < 0.001), while increased with education level (P for trend < 0.001).They were 65.28% and 69.82% among students, which were much higher than other occupations.Men consumed more sugar-sweetened carbonated beverage than women (37.31% vs 31.37%), whereas less juice/fruit-flavored drink (36.14% vs 39.65%).Among the subjects consumed sugar-sweetened carbonated beverage (n=6 254) or juice/fruit-flavored drink (n=6 701), 52.20% (95%CI:49.41%-54.98%) and 54.04% (95%CI:51.09%-56.98%) consumed 1-3 times a week.The daily average amount of sugar-sweetened carbonated beverage and juice/fruit-flavored drink were 98.64 mL (95%CI:88.92-108.37) and 88.85 mL (95%CI:73.73-103.97), respectively, which were higher among the young (< 45 years old), male and students. Conclusion In 2013 in Shanghai, the consumption of sugar-sweetened carbonated beverage and juice/fruit-flavored drink is highly prevalent among residents aged 15 years and above, especially among the young, male, well-educated and students.Intervention should be tailored to reduce the consumption among at-risk population.

The "Medium and Long-term Plan for the Prevention and Control of Chronic Non-communicable Diseases in Shanghai (2018-2030)" was officially released in August 2018.From the perspective of public health, this paper analyzes the background of the plan from the epidemic situation, response and challenges Shanghai City is facing, expounds the comprehensive prevention and control system of chronic diseases including four functional systems, and explains the key preventive and control measures on the different stages of chronic diseases, comparing the evaluation indicators with those of the national plan.This paper will help to better understand the new blueprint for the prevention and control of chronic diseases in Shanghai in the next ten years.

Objective To make assessment on construction effectiveness of the first batch of national chronic disease comprehensive control and prevention demonstration areas (NCD demonstration areas) in Shanghai, summarizing NCD experience and its characteristics, so as to provide reference for other regions. Methods Data were collected and analysed concerning construction of health support environment and regional characteristics of the six districts-Xuhui, Jing′an, Minhang, Jiading, Songjiang and Qingpu.Descriptive data from Shanghai Non-communicable Diseases and Risk Factors Surveillance in 2013 and 2017 was also analyzed for evaluation. Results It was noted that health support environment had been in continuous construction.The total number of health units increased by 1 502 as compared with pre-construction.The number of new type health units increased by 489 such as health theme parks, health trails and health huts.All six districts established self-help health test points covering all streets and towns.Residents′ living and behavior styles were improved, as there was a decrease in current smoking rate, oil intake and salt intake in the six NCD demonstration areas.In Xuhui, Minhang and Jiading three districts, the current smoking rate among residents over 18 years old remarkably declined.In five of the six districts, the average daily oil intake per family member was significantly reduced and so was the average daily salt intake per family member in the six districts.In addition, the six demonstration areas in Shanghai explored several models of NCD prevention and control in line with regional characteristics, which produced positive results. Conclusion The first batch of demonstration areas of Shanghai have achieved effective results in aspects of environmental support and health effects.The modes of NCD prevention and control in different districts present their regional characteristics, which provide significant reference for other regions of Shanghai in this regard.

OBJECTIVETo study the rabies molecular biology features in animals between high incidence area of rabies and no rabies cases area in Hunan.

METHODSdetect saliva of dogs and brains of dogs and cats by direct immunofluorescence assay, review positive samples by RT-PCR, sequencing extract RNA virus for genetic analysis.

RESULTS12 were detected rabies virus antigen and positive nucleoside acid in 82 dogs from Wugang city also 1 in 17 from Dongkou county; the positive rate: Wugang 14.63 percent, Dongkou 5.88 percent. No rabies virus was detected in 67 samples of dog brains from Fenghuang County. Also none in 28 samples of cat brains. Amplificating N gene of rabies virus from positive samples of dog brain's tissue (No Wg13, Dk13) by RT-PCR, it shows that homology of nucleoside acid between two strain of virus is 99.4 percent; also 99.1 percent of amino acid. The homology of nucleoside acid (amonio acid) among Wg13 stain and Chinese strain CTN and aG strain is 89.4 percent (98.2 percent) and 86.1 percent (95.1 percent); The homology of nucleoside acid (amonio acid) among Dk13 stain Chinese strain CTN and aG strain is 89.1 percent (98.0 percent), 86.1 percent (94.9 percent).Compare with isolated rabies virus from abroad, the homology between two strains and Indonesia is 92.8 percent and 93.2 percent, the most similar of them. The strains isolated from other countries including Japan, Sri Lanka and India are relatively lower; The sequence of gene Wg13 and Dk13 were taken replacement of amino acid.

CONCLUSIONTwo strains are belong to type I rabies virus, comparing its N gene with current using vaccine strains, both are in same group, and homology are relatively higher.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of intracoronary diltiazem on no-reflow phenomenon of infarct-related artery (IRA) after emergent percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty or/and intracoronary stenting (PTCA/Stenting) in the patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS: We studied 34 AMI patients with no-reflow phenomenon of IRA after emergent PTCA/Stenting between January 1999 and August 2005. Urokinase-treated group (n=16) was given intracoronary urokinase 30,0000 - 50,0000 units within 15 - 30 minutes between January 1999 and April 2002 while diltiazem-treated group (n=18) was given intracoronary diltiazem 0.5 - 2 mg within 10 - 30 minutes between May 2002 and August 2005. Fifteen minutes later, coronary arteriography (CAG) was performed and the thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade was measured. RESULTS: No apparent change of TIMI flow grade was found between pre-administration and post-administration of intracoronary urokinase, but TIMI flow grade was significantly improved after intracoronary diltiazem (P<0.01). TIMI flow grade of diltiazem-treated group was significantly higher than that of urokinase-treated group after the administration (P<0.05). The percentage of the patients who reached TIMI flow grade 3 after the intracoronary administration was higher in the diltiazem-treated group than that in the urokinase-treated group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION The intracoronary administration of diltiazem 0.5~2mg can effectively improve the no-reflow phenomenon after emergent PTCA/Stenting in patients with AMI.

OBJECTIVETo summarize the clinical features and surgical methods for colorectal cavernous hemangioma in China.

METHODSData of 4 cases in Peking Union Medical College Hospital and 54 cases with colorectal cavernous hemangioma from 1979 to 2006 reported in Chinese literatures were analyzed retrospectively, including clinic manifestations and surgery treatment.

RESULTSThe incidence of male to female was 1.0:1.0, and 43.1% of the patients had their first onset of recurrent rectal bleeding in early childhood. Colonoscopy, rectal CT scan and MRI were the accurate methods for the diagnosis (100%). 91.4% of the patients had diffuse infiltrative lesions and 8.6% of the patients had localized lesions. 82.8% of the patients underwent surgical treatment while 3.5% of the patient did not received treatment.

CONCLUSIONSColonoscopy is the first choice for the diagnosis of colorectal cavernous hemangioma. Local resection should be performed for the localized cavernous hemangioma. Sigmoid colon and rectum resection with coloanal anastomosis is suitable for the diffuse and infiltrative colorectal cavernous hemangioma.

This study was to investigate the antiviral effects of a hot water soluble extract S-03 isolated from Isatis indigotica root on different subtypes of influenza A and B viruses in MDCK cell cultures, using plaque reduction, immunofluorescence and hemo-agglutination inhibition (HAD) assays. Chemical analysis of the extract S-03 showed that it contained high proportion of polysaccharides. The antiviral effects in vitro showed that the S-03 had no effect on different influenza viruses if the drug was used before virus adsorption, but S-03 showed obvious activities against influenza viruses if treatment after virus adsorption or direct reaction of drug and virus before virus adsorption. Hemagglutination inhibition assay showed that S-03 inhibited HA activities of different human influenza viruses (inhibition concentration ranged from 3.12 to 25 mg/mL), avain influenza viruses (inhibition concentration ranged from 25 to 50 mg/mL). The antiviral effects of S-03 on different influenza A and B viruses in vitro might be through the inhibition of the HA to prevent infection.

OBJECTIVETo explore the abnormal expressions of testicular reproduction-related genes induced by glycosides of Tripterygium wilfordii (GTW) and the intervention with kidney-tonifying Chinese herbs.

METHODSAdult Balb/C male mice were fed on GTW at 30 mg per kg per d for 3 weeks to establish a model of reproductive dysfunction. The model mice were divided into different groups to receive intragastrical administration of saline (0.25 ml/d), GTW (30 mg per kg per d), Cistanche (10 g per kg per d), Rehmannia (10 g per kg per d), and Rehmannia + Cistanche (20 g per kg per d), respectively, once a day for 3 weeks. And a Cistanches pretreatment group was treated with GTW (30 mg per kg per d) and Cistanche (10 g per kg per d) for the same length of time. Then we detected the changed expressions of testicular reproduction-related genes Dzip1, Fas, c-jun and Wnt4 in each group.

RESULTSThe model mice showed an obviously down-regulated expression of the Y chromosome microdeletion-related gene Dzip1, and up-regulated expressions of the germ cell apoptosis-related gene Fas, proto-oncogene c-jun, and signal transduction-related gene Wnt4. Intervention with Chinese herbs achieved different degrees of improvement of the mice's reproductivity, and the most obvious efficacy was observed with the combined use of kidney-yang tonifying Cistanche and kidney-yin nourishing Rehmannia.

CONCLUSIONGTW exerts significant impact on reproduction-related genes. Both the kidney-yang tonifying drug Cistanche and kidney-yin nourishing drug Rehmannia can counteract some of the reproductive toxicity of GTW, while the combination of the two can further enhance the effect.

Objective:To understand the prevalence of unhealthy lifestyle among Shanghai occupational population aged 18-59 in 2013 and provide suggestion for intervention. Methods:Data retrieved from 2013 Shanghai Non-communicable Diseases and Risk Factors Surveillance were used to investigate the residents who were 18-59 years old and engaged in various occupations in Shanghai. Descriptive analysis and test were conducted by weight and complex sampling. Smoking， drinking， eating behavior and physical activities were compared among different gender，age，area and occupation groups. Results:A total of 10 287 participants were included in this analysis. The current smoking rate of 41.46% in males were significantly higher than 0.64% in females（χ²=2 278.306，P<0.05）. The current smoking prevalence was highest in workers in production and transport （34.49%）. The rate of drinking in the past 30 days， hazardous drinking， and harmful drinking in rural area were 23.80%，6.59% and 11.62%， respectively，which were the highest in all areas. Both the hazardous and harmful drinking prevalence （8.58% and 18.70%， respectively） were the highest in agriculture workers in comparison with other occupations. There is no significant difference in insufficient intake of vegetables and fruits in gender，age and area groups. The proportion of people with excessive intake of red meat was higher in males than that in females （28.11% versus 17.77%，146.176，P<0.05）. Occupational population in urban area had the highest regular physical activities （22.64%）. The clerks had the longest daily sedentary time （7.25 h）. The agricultural workers had the lowest regular exercise rate （11.75%） and the shortest sedentary time （4.07 h）. Conclusion:This study identifies different prevalence of unhealthy lifestyle in different gender， age， area， and occupational groups， which can be helpful for for targeted intervention.
