Objective:To investigate the association between sleep quality and the risk of acute exacerbation in mild and moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients in Pudong New Area of Shanghai. Methods:This was a prospective study involving eligible mild and moderate COPD patients from 10 communities randomly selected in Pudong New District of Shanghai. A structured questionnaire was used to collect demographic characteristics, clinical information and information on acute exacerbation. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) in Chinese. Multiple negative binomial regression was used to estimate the association between sleep quality and risk of exacerbation. Results:Altogether 212 mild/moderate COPD patients participated and completed the entire survey, of whom the majority (95.8%) were mild COPD patients, 110 persons female and over half (54.2%) over 65 years old. 32.9% of the patients had poorer sleep quality at baseline. 18.9% of the patients reported exacerbation over the past year during follow-ups. Multiple negative binomial regression suggested that increased PSQI was related to higher risk of exacerbation (

Objective:To analyze the cancer incidence and mortality in Yixing City, Jiangsu Province in 2019. Methods:The cancer incidence and mortality in Yixing residents in 2019 were collected. Based on the data, the incidence and mortality rate, standardized incidence and mortality rate and age-specific incidence and mortality rate of cancer were calculated, and the incidence and death of major malignant tumors were also analyzed. Life table method was used to calculate life expectancy and life expectancy without cause of death. Results:The crude incidence of cancer in Yixing in 2019 was 308.61/105, the ASR China was 175.24/105, and the ASR World was 134.56/105. The crude mortality of cancer was 258.78/105, the ASR China was 125.19/105, and the ASR World was 93.01/105. The cancer incidence rate and mortality rate in males were higher than those in females. The top 5 cancers in incidence were lung, gastric, colorectal, thyroid, and esophageal cancers. The top 5 cancer deaths were lung, gastric, liver, esophageal, and colorectal cancers. In 2019, the life expectancy of Yixing residents was 82.53 years old, and the life expectancy without cause of cancer death was 86.15 years old. The biggest loss of life expectancy in the population was caused by lung cancer, followed by gastric cancer and liver cancer. Conclusion:The mortality rate of malignant tumors in Yixing is at a high level. Cancer prevention and treatment should be focused on lung cancer, thyroid cancer and malignant tumors of the digestive tract.

Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted to recruit MSM for anonymous questionnaire survey and serological examination. We used EpiData3.1 for data entry and SPSS 19.0 for statistical analysis. Results:A total of 368 MSM were surveyed, in which the proportion of recreational drug usage was 13.3% ( 49 / 368 ), with the HIV infection of 10.3% (38/ 368 ) and syphilis infection of 8.9% (25/368). Risk factors associated with recreational drug usage were determined to be part-time job or being unemployed (

Objective:To analyze the incidence and epidemic characteristics of local cases infected with SARS-CoV-2 in Yangpu District of Shanghai, China, and provide scientific evidence for the prevention and control of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19). Methods:Descriptive epidemiological methods were applied to analyze the epidemic data of all the patients tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 RNA in Yangpu District of Shanghai, China. Results:A total of 9 local cases (7 males and 2 females) were documented in Yangpu District from January 30, 2020 to February 29, 2020. The average age was (48.56±13.85) years old. According to the body mass index, the patients with overweight and obesity accounted for 44.44% of the total cases. All the patients had fever at the onset and radiological findings of pneumonia by CT examination. They were diagnosed during January 24 and February 8, 2020. The median incubation period of the COVID-19 was 9 days and the median course was 22 days. Six cases had travel history in the epidemic areas and the other 3 cases had history of contact with confirmed cases. There were two familial clusters, both of which were husband-wife relationships. One cluster had a clear temporal sequence of onset, while the other one might be co-exposed or mutually infected. No new local case infected with SARS-CoV-2 was evident since February 8, 2020. Conclusion:All the local COVID-19 cases in Yangpu District have clear epidemiological exposure history. It warrants further attention to the family clustering SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Currently, containment of imported cases is crucial for the prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic.
