The frequent co-occurrence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and mental disorders has become increasingly common, which is known clinically as comorbidity. Epidemiological survey showed that schizophrenia and mood disorders are the most common co-existing psychiatric disorders of metabolic syndrome. The pathogenesis of comorbidity of mental dis-orders and MS is related with hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis dysfunction, unhealthy lifestyles and related applications of antipsychotics. An important reason for the metabolic syndrome associated with schizophrenia is heredity. However, in-flammation is the key factor in the relationship of mood disorders and MS. The intervention of unhealthy lifestyle, psychologi-cal counseling and rational use of drug should all be included in the treatment of comorbidity of psychiatric disorders and MS. The follow-up of metabolic index in psychiatric patients and psychological conditions in patients of MS should be paid more attention during the whole course of treatment.

Objective: This paper investigates Shenmai Injection’s effect on the cellular immunity of patients with acute exacerbated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Methods: 92 cases of AECOPD patients are randomly divided into two groups----control group and treatment group, each with 46 patients. Patients in the two groups are given the same treatment such as anti-inflammatory, astiasthmatic, eliminating phlegm, inhale oxygen. Based on conventional treatment, the treatment group dissolves 40mL of Shenmai Injection in 250mL of injection glucose (5%). Such solution is dripped in vein continuously for two courses of treatment, with ten drops for a course of treatment and once a drop. Indexes of CD+3, CD+4, CD+8of peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets and ratio of CD+4/CD+8 are tested before two weeks and after two weeks of the treatment, in order to discuss the effect of Shenmai Injection on the cellular immunity of patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Results: After two weeks' treatment, the indexes of CD+3, CD+4 raise up, the indexes of CD+8 go down, and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ increases. In contrast, there is a significant difference for the patients before the treatment; So is the same with Indexes of CD+3, CD4+, CD8+ and ratio of CD+4/CD+8 to the patients in the treatment group and those in the control group after two weeks. Conclusion: Shenmai Injection can improve the AECOPD patient’s cellular immunity.

Abstract A chiral separation and residue determination method for cis-epoxiconazole enantiomers in apple, grape and tea samples was developed and validated by ultra performance convergence chromatography combined with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry ( UPC2-QTOF/MS) . The Chrial CCA column was used to separate cis-epoxiconazole enantiomers and the chromatography conditions ( mobile phase modifier and proportion, column temperature, automated backpressure regulator, and auxiliary solvent ) were optimized. Samples were extracted by acetonitrile, and respectively purified by Cleanert TPT or Pesti-Carb solid phase extraction ( SPE ) columns, then analyzed by UPC2-QTOF/MS. The optimum conditions were as follows:mobile phase was CO2/isopropanol (95: 5, V/V), flow-rate was 2. 0 mL/min, automated backpressure regulator (ABPR) was 13. 79 MPa, column temperature was 30℃, with a post-column mauxiliary solvent of methanol/water (1:1, V/V) containing 2 mmol/L ammonium formate. The analyte was quantified by matrix external standard method. The results showed that linear range of this method was 0. 01-1. 00 mg/L, and the correlation coefficients were above 0 . 99 . The recoveries of cis-epoxiconazole enantiomers at three spiked levels (0. 005, 0. 025 and 0. 25 mg/kg) in fruit matrix were 67. 9%-92. 8% with relative standard deviations (RSDs, n=6) less than 10%, and the limit of quantification (LOQ) of enantiomers was 0. 005 mg/kg. The recoveries of cis-epoxiconazole enantiomers at three spiked levels (0. 01, 0. 05 and 0. 5 mg/kg) in black tea were 74 . 1% -84 . 0% with RSDs ( n=6 ) less than 8%, and the LOQ for these two enantiomers was 0. 01 mg/kg. This method is rapid, convenient and reliable, and could meet the requirement of residue analysis.

Objective:
To investigate the general situation of sleep duration, sleep quality and related risk factors among primary students in Shanghai and to provide evidence for the prevention and control of students sleep health.
Methods:
By using stratified cluster random sampling method, 3 410 students from 16 primary schools in four urban areas and four suburb areas of Shanghai were selected to conduct sleep health questionnaire survey and physical examination Chi square test was used for group comparison while binary Logistic regression was used to assess possible factors related with sleep quality.
Results:
The detection rate of sleep insufficiency (<10 h) among students was 93.0%. The detection rate of poor sleep quality was 66.8% with 67.1% in girls and 66.6% in boys. The top three sleep problems were daytime sleepiness(80.9%), irregular sleep duration (74.1%) and sleep anxiety(59.5%). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that everyday moderate-intensity physical activity (OR=1.51, 95%CI=1.04-2.21) and daily walking activity (more than 10 minutes)(OR=1.27, 95%CI=1.08-1.50) were risk factors of poor sleep quality(P<0.05).
Conclusion
In Shanghai, the prevalence of sleep insufficiency and poor sleep quality among primary students are high. Sleep health was associated with moderate physical activity and walking activity. Increasing the duration of moderate physical activity and daily walking activity is the very important measures in prevention and control of the sleep problems.

Objective:
To investigate the establishment of health care institutions and the staffing primary and secondary school health care in Shanghai, and to understand the capacity building needs of health care personnel.
Methods:
A survey was conducted on all primary and secondary schools in Shanghai from April to August in 2020. The content of the questionnaire covers the establishment of health care institutions, the staffing of school health care centers and the capacity building need of health care personnel. Chi square test was used to compare the difference of the health care institutions setting and staffing by schools and areas.
Results:
In 2020, there were 1 847 primary and secondary schools in Shanghai (including branches schools). About 51.4% of primary and secondary schools in Shanghai were equipped with school health care personnel in the ratio of the number of students at least 600∶1 , and the staffing compliance rate of urban schools (59.3%) was higher than that of suburban schools (47.3%)( χ 2=24.27, P <0.01). All school health care personnel believed that there are currently few opportunities for capacity buliding services from health facilities.
Conclusion
School health care institutions in Shanghai are well equipped, but the staffing shortage is substantial, with strong need for capacity building.
