Objective To explore the relationship between artenosclerotic changes in the carotid arteries and the development of coronary beart disease (CHD), and also to study the changes in endothelial function in patients with CHD, with the aid of ultrasonographic examination. Methods One hundred and twenty inpatients were divided into CHD group ( n =90) and control group ( n =30) according to the results of coronary arteriogram. In intima media thickness (IMT) and arteriosclerotic plaques were determined in carotid arteries with B mode ultrasonography. Dilatation of the brachial arteries during reactive hyperemia and after sublingual administration of glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) were determined at the same time. Results The intimia media thickness of CHD group was significantly higher than that of the control group, and had no significant but there was no significant difference among groups of 1,2,or 3 diseased vessel groups. Atherosclerotic plaques were mostly found in the carotid bifurcation and common carotid artery segments. The discovery rate was higher in patients with 2 or 3 diseased coronary arteries. The contents of TC and LDL C, and incidence rate of hypertension and diabetes mellitus were higher in CHD group. The flow mediated dilatation and GTN induced dilatation of brachial arteries in patients with CHD were significantly reduced compared with those in control group( P

Besides its function as a pathogenicity determinant, the Tombusvirus P19 also serves as a suppressor of RNA interference (RNAi) by sequestering intracellular small RNAs such as the small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs). However, the effect of P19 on mammalian cells has not been evaluated before. A human embryonic kidney 293 cell line that stably expressed p19 (HEK293-p19) was generated. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that over-expression of P19 caused a significant accumulation of G2/M phase cells. Cell proliferation assays demonstrated a reduced DNA replication and cell growth in HEK293-p19 cells. Moreover, p19 altered the expression profiles of a number of cell cycle regulators in HEK293 cells, such as upregulafion of cyclin A1, CDK2, CDK4, CDK6, p18, cyclin D2, p19INK4d and E2F1, and downregulation of p15, cyclin A2, cyclin B1 and cyclin E1. Thus, the data strongly indicate that p19 might influence multiple G2/M regulators to cause G2/M arrest.

Objective:
To understand the underreporting rate of death among residents in Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2018, so as to provide a basis for improvement of death surveillance measures.
Methods:
Multi-stage random cluster sampling was used to select residents in 30 public health surveillance areas of Zhejiang Province and all the residents were investigated the general information and death conditions that occurred during the period 2016-2018 by door to door visit. The underreporting rate of death was calculated and descriptive methods were used to analyze the causes of underreporting deaths.
Results:
A total of 358 992 residents were investigated in 30 public health surveillance areas of Zhejiang Province. There were 63 underreporting deaths among 5 896 deaths, with an underreporting rate of 1.07%. The underreporting rate in men was 1.30%, which was higher than 0.75% in women ( P<0.05 ). The underreporting rate of residents aged 20 to <40 years was 6.74%, the highest among all the age groups ( P<0.05 ). The underreporting rate was 4.46% on the way to the hospital, the highest among all the places of death ( P<0.05 ). The underreporting rate in Wuxing District of Huzhou was 5.80%, the highest among all the surveillance areas. There were 25 cases of "late report or untimely review", accounting for 39.68%; 38 cases of "not report", accounting for 60.32%, of which 14 cases were caused by doctors forgetting to report, accounting for 22.22%.
Conclusion
The underreporting rate of death in Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2018 is generally low. In response to underreporting deaths, multi-departmental collaboration should be promoted to effectively strengthen the reporting and management of routine death surveillance.

Objective:
To investigation the correlation between sleep duration and hypertension among adults in Zhejiang Province, and to provide scientific evidence for the prevention and control of hypertension.
Methods:
Permanent residents at age of 18 years and older were enrolled from 10 surveillance sites for risk factors of chronic diseases included in the 2018 China Chronic Diseases and Risk Factors Surveillance Program. Subjects' demographic characteristics, smoking, alcohol consumption, sleep duration and development of hypertension were collected, and following complex weighting calculations, the association between sleep duration and hypertension were examined using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
Totally 5 770 adults were included, including 2 952 men (50.72%) and 3 178 women (49.28%), and the prevalence of hypertension was 29.39% (2 702 cases). There were 712 (8.37%), 1 077 (18.77%), 1 582 (28.68%), 1 717 (34.60%) and 682 adults (9.57%) with sleep duration of <6 h/d, 6 to 7 h/d, 7 to 8 h/d, 8 to 9 h/d and 9 h/d and longer, respectively. Taking the sleep duration of 7 to 8 h/d as a reference, multivariable logistic regression analysis identified a significant association between sleep duration of <6 h/d and the risk of hypertension (OR=1.709, 95%CI: 1.184-2.466), a significant association between sleep duration of 9 h/d and longer and the risk of hypertension (OR=1.369, 95%CI: 1.006-1.862) in men, significant associations between sleep duration of <6 h/d (OR=2.174, 95%CI: 1.528-3.093) and 6 to 7 h/d (OR=1.412, 95%CI: 1.078-1.850) and the risk of hypertension in women, and significant associations between sleep duration of <6 h/d (OR=3.095, 95%CI: 1.025-9.347) and 6 to 7 h/d (OR=2.046, 95%CI: 1.156-3.622) and the risk of hypertension in residents at ages of 18 to 44 years.
Conclusions
Short sleep duration may increase the risk of hypertension among adults at ages of 18 to 44 years in Zhejiang Province. Short sleep duration may increase the risk of hypertension in women and long sleep duration may increase the risk of hypertension in men.
