The male and young adults were dominant. there were no statisti?cal significance between clinical grading and attack?diagnosis interval Z=-0.99 P = 0.32 vocational background χ2=10.61 P=0.10 then clinical symptoms aggravated the situation was occurred more easily among the first attack cases χ2=7.66 P 0.05 and the falciparum malaria cases χ2=24.27 P 0.001 . Conclusions The overseas imported malaria cases are increasing rapidly with years and the malignant malaria cases were more than other malaria cases in Wuhan City. Therefore the surveillance and management of the returnees from malaria endemic areas should be strengthened continually.

Objective Evaluating the main risk factors of thyroid cancer systematicaly,to provide reference for the further development of thyroid cancer prevention strategies.Methods Such databases as PubMed,Cochrane Library,CBM,CNKI,VIP and WanFang were searched from the date of their establishment to June 10 2016 to collect the case-control studies on thyroid cancer.After study selection,assessment and data extraction was conducted by two reviewers independently,meta-analysis was performed by using the RevMan 5.1 software.Results Nineteen studies involving 4 813 thyroid cancer patients and 6 068 comparions were selected.The results of metaanalysis showed that:the risk factors of thyroid cancer mainly included history of benign thyroid disease [odds ratio (OR) =7.31,95％ confidence interval (95％CI,4.37,12.23)],family history of thyroid cancer [OR =5.13,95％CI (3.20,8.23)],high iodine diet [(marine animal food,OR =4.15,95％CI (2.47,6.99)],CT inspection history [OR =3.99,95％CI (2.10,7.60)],Negative emotions [sulking,OR =3.31,95％CI (2.23,4.91)],BMI greater than 25 [OR =2.62,95％CI (1.73,3.97)],high pressure and anxious [OR =2.60,95％CI (1.61,4.21)],getting along with people not harmoniously [OR =2.46,95％CI (1.59,3.81)],the number of pregnancies of women more than three times [OR =2.03,95％CI (1.50,2.76)],age of menarche less than 13,14 years old [OR =1.59,95％CI (1.06,2.37)].Conclusions Thyroid benign disease history,family history of thyroid cancer,high iodine diet,CT examination,BMI greater than 25,bad mood,social interaction,number of pregnancies and other factors are the independent risk factors for thyroid cancer.Corresponding prevention and control measures should be taken according to these risk factors.

Objective:To understand the applicability of different thyroid volume correction methods for school-age children in Wuhan, and to explore the appropriate thyroid volume correction methods for school-age children in Wuhan.Methods:From May to August 2019, Hongshan, Hanyang, Hannan, Jiangxia and Dongxihu districts of Wuhan were divided into five sampling areas according to five directions: east, west, south, north and middle. One primary school was selected from each area, and 40 non-boarding students aged 8 - 10 years old (gender balanced) were selected from each primary school as survey subjects. Random urine sample and household edible salt sample were collected to detect urinary iodine and salt iodine contents, and the height, weight and thyroid volume of the children were measured. At the same time, the thyroid volume was corrected by height corrected volume index 1 (HVI1), weight and height corrected volume index (WHVI), body mass index corrected volume (BMIV), body surface area corrected volume (BSAV) and height corrected volume index 2 (HVI2).Results:A total of 1 000 children aged 8- 10 years old were investigated, including 499 boys and 501 girls; among them, there were 269, 321 and 410 children aged 8, 9 and 10 years old, respectively. The median urinary iodine was 247.50 μg/L; the median salt iodine was 23.20 mg/kg; the height, weight and thyroid volume were 140.00 (133.00, 146.00) cm, 31.00 (27.00, 37.00) kg and 2.56 (2.13, 3.21) ml, respectively. A total of 30 children with goiter were detected, and the goiter rate was 3% (30/1 000). The thyroid volumes of boys and girls were 2.57 (2.16, 3.28) and 2.56 (2.10, 3.16) ml, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( U = - 0.981, P > 0.05). The thyroid volumes of children aged 8, 9 and 10 years old were 2.31 (1.98, 2.81), 2.68 (2.13, 3.30) and 2.74 (2.28, 3.35) ml, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( H = 47.585, P < 0.01). Spearman correlation analysis showed that the original thyroid volume was positively correlated with height and weight in children aged 8, 9 and 10 years old ( P < 0.01). After HVI1 correction, no correlation was found between thyroid volume and height in children aged 8 years old ( P > 0.05), but thyroid volume was positively correlated with weight ( P < 0.01); thyroid volume was positively correlated with height and weight in children aged 9 and 10 years old ( P < 0.01). After WHVI correction, the thyroid volumes of children aged 8, 9, and 10 years old were negatively correlated with height and weight ( P < 0.01). After BMIV correction, the thyroid volume was positively correlated with height in children aged 8, 9, and 10 years old ( P < 0.01); thyroid volume was negatively correlated with weight in children aged 10 years old ( P < 0.05). After BSAV correction, thyroid volume was positively correlated with weight in children aged 9 years old ( P < 0.05). After HVI2 correction, thyroid volume was positively correlated with weight in children aged 9 years old ( P < 0.01). The thyroid volume obtained by the 5 correction methods were all smaller than the original thyroid volume, and the thyroid volume after BSAV correction was the closest to the original thyroid volume, with a difference of 0.87% - 13.87%. Conclusions:The thyroid volume of school-age children in Wuhan is affected by age, height, and weight, judgment of goiter should be corrected for these factors. BSAV is relatively independent and stable, it can eliminate the effect of height and weight on thyroid volume. It is initially considered that BSAV is suitable for the correction of thyroid volume in school-age children in Wuhan.

Objective To investigate the hyperuricemia(HUA)and the correlation of blood lipids of the 60 -70years peple in Renqiu area,and to provide the basis for guiding prevention and treatment of the elderly disease the region.Methods According to the cluster random sampling method,Renqiu permanent residents with the age of 60 to 70 years were selected as a screening object.In the total 5 010 cases screened object,2 163 were male(43.2%),2 847 were female(56.8%),with an average age of(64.29 ±3.05)years.The data of blood uric acid and total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG),high -density lipoprotein(HDL -C),low -density lipoprotein(LDL -C)were collected.The rela-tionship between blood uric acid and blood lipids were analyzed.Logistic regression method was used to analysis the relationship between the hyperuricemia and lipids components.Results The overall prevalence of hyperuricemia in Renqiu was 6.1%(9.8% in male,3.2% in female).In men HUA group,the levels of blood uric acid,TG and LDL-L were 464.10(438.00 -508.65)μmol/L,1.54(1.00 -2.19)mmol/Land 2.66(2.25 -3.22)mmol/L,which were higher than those of normal uric acid group of 294.00(249.90 -338.08)μmol/L,1.13(0.84 -1.65)mmol/L and 2.57(2.12 -3.01)mmol/L(P <0.05).In women HUA group,the levels of blood uric acid,TG and LDL -L were 454.15(434.15 -480.78)μmol/L,2.14(1.47 -3.18)mmol/L and 2.96(2.52 -3.76)mmol/L,which were higher than those of normal uric acid group of 250.80(209.00 -299.80)μmol/L,1.53(1.10 -2.20)mmol/L and 2.87(2.40 -3.33)mmol/L(P <0.05).Logistic multi -factor regression analysis showed that TG was an independ-ent risk factor for hyperuricemia,and that HDL -L and gender were protective factors.Conclusion Hyperuricemia is closely associated with blood lipid,especially with TG and HDL -L,so we could screening HUA by blood lipid,which can reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular disease effectively.

Objective To investigate the relationship between snoring and newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus among elderly urban and rural residents in Renqiu of Hebei province.Methods By random clustered sam-pling inspection,the residents aged 60 to 70 years old were selected in the study,the questionnaire investigation by an-thropometric measurements and laboratory tests were performed in 5 010 elderly people.Screen for 3 604 people who had no previous history of diabetes and currently not to control blood sugar by diet,exercise,medication.The average age was (64.32 ±3.06)years,including 1 608 male(44.6%) and 1 996 female cases(55.4%),snorers 994 cases (27.6%),non-snorers 2 610 cases(72.4%).The patients were followed up for one year.The correlation between snoring and newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus was analyzed.Results There were 217 cases(6.0%) of new-ly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus,which accounted for 79 cases of snoring(36.4%),3 387 cases of non-dia-betic group,which accounted for 915 cases of snoring(27.0%),the difference between the two groups was significant (χ2 =9.003,P<0.05).Took the newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus as the dependent variable,univariate analysis showed that gender(OR=0.479,95% CI:0.639~0.852),history of hypertension(OR=1.463,95% CI:1.111~1.927),family history of diabetes(OR=1.768,95% CI:1.259~2.183),history of stroke or TIA(OR=1.549,95%CI:1.106~2.168),central obesity(OR=1.658,95% CI:1.016 ~1.448),BMI≥28kg/m2 (OR=1.063,95% CI:1.025 ~1.102),fasting glucose(OR=2.065,95% CI:1.854 ~2.299),fasting insulin levels (OR=1.021,95%CI:1.008 ~1.035),cholesterol(OR=1.216,95% CI:1.051 ~1.407),triglycerides(OR=1.188,95%CI:1.089~1.296),snoring(OR=1.547,95% CI:1.161 ~2.060) were related with newly-diag-nosed type 2 diabetes mellitus.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender(OR=0.595,95% CI:0.368~0.963),history of stroke or TIA(OR=1.586,95%CI:1.085~2.318),fasting glucose(OR=2.059,95%CI:1.833~2.312),snoring(OR=1.592,95% CI:1.089~2.328) were independent risk factor for newly-diag-nosed type 2 diabetes mellitus.Conclusion People aged 60 to 70 in Renqiu suffered newly-diagnosed type 2 diabe-tes mellitus population prevalence of snoring, snoring is closely related to the occurrence and development of type 2 diabetes,type 2 diabetes is increased independent risk factor.Positive and effective screening and control on snoring can effectively reduce the incidence of type 2 diabetes.

Objective To investigate waist-to-height ratio(WHtR) and body mass index(BMI) for the screening and prediction of metabolic syndrome and explore the best indicator for predicting metabolic syndrome(MS) in the elderly.Methods A cluster random sampling method was used.5 010 cases aged 60-70 years old of Renqiu permanent residents were selected as a screening subjects.The face to face health questionnaires,anthropometric measurements,and laboratory testing were conducted.Receiver operatiug characteristic (ROC) was used to analyze and calculate the area under the curve(AUC).Results WHtR predict the best point of tangency of MS were 0.54 (men),0.5 5 (women),BMI predict the best point of tangency of MS were 25.25kg/m2 (men),2 5.0 5 kg/m2 (women).In the same gender,the contrast of WHtR and BMI in predicts MS area under the curve,WHtR area under the curve of the larger,WHtR was higher than BMI,WHtR was a better indicator in predicted of MS.Conclusion WHtR and BMI have important roles in the screening and prediction of MS,and WHtR seems to be the best parameter in the screening and prediction of MS in the elderly.
