Shanghai Journal of Preventive Medicine.2021;33(3):187-. doi:10.19428/j.cnki.sjpm.2021.19468

Objective To introduce and conduct effectiveness evaluation of peer-group level care and management mode in people living with HIV and AIDS(PLHAs)in Jing'an District, Shanghai. Methods We recruited PLHAs who were managed by Jing'an District and participated in the peer-group care activities from 2015 to 2016, and collected their data of general conditions, behavior, antiretroviral therapy, life quality, social support, mental status and medical modes, and then conducted effectiveness evaluation of the mode by multivariate logistic regression model and linear regression model. Results A total of 300 PLHAs were included with 150 cases in each group. PLHAs in target group had higher proportion of antiretroviral therapy[82.7%(124/150)and 64.7%(97/150)]. In addition, they got higher scores in mental health(48.5±9.2 and 43.9±10.6)and social support(28.7±8.2 and 24.8±6.6), and lower scores in depressive severity index(0.5±0.1)and avoidance of medical modes(16.1±3.0 and 17.0±2.5). Multivariate analysis showed that PLHAs in target group had less sex partners(zero partner, OR = 2.1, 95%CI:1.1-3.9;one partner, OR = 3.6, 95%CI:1.9-6.8)and increased condom use(no sex, OR = 5.3, 95%CI:2.4-11.7;complete use, OR = 10.6, 95%CI:4.7-24.1;random miss, OR = 5.1, 95%CI:1.8-14.8)in the last 12 months. Conclusion The effect of peer-group level care and management mode is significantly good in promoting behavior change, enhancing health concern and increasing antiretroviral therapy.

Objective To explore the transmission chain of COVID-19 by serum antibody detection, and to provide scientific evidence for the prevention and control of the epidemic. Methods Field epidemiological investigation was used to determine the COVID-19 cases and their close contacts. The 2019-nCoV nucleic acid in throat swabs and anal swabs were examined by RT-PCR. Serum specimens were collected for anti-2019-nCoV IgM antibody detection and combined IgM/IgG detection. Results Case A had no confirmed exposure to COVID-19. However, case C and D had dinner and lived together with case A; they reported contact history and dinner history with other confirmed COVID-19 cases(H, L). Case A tested positive for 2019-nCoV nucleic acid, whereas case C and D were negative. Moreover, case A and C were IgM antibody positive, while case D was negative. Case A, C and D were all positive for combined IgM/IgG. In addition, case D had clinical symptom, while case C did not. Conclusion Serum antibody detection can be used as an effective supplement to the inference of transmission chain of COVID-19, which may facilitate determining the source of infection and improving the evidence.

Objective To characterize the epidemic status and treatment outcomes of tuberculosis(TB)from 2008 to 2017 in Songjiang District of Shanghai for the development of TB prevention and control strategies. Methods According to case registration data in the TB management information system, statistical analysis was performed on the epidemic situation, epidemiological characteristics and treatment outcomes of TB cases in Songjiang District from 2008 to 2017. Results There were 5 516 reported cases in 2008-2017 in Songjiang District. The average annual reported incidence was 33.58/100 000, which was declining(χ² = 6.13, P < 0.05). The incidence was significantly higher in the floating population than that in the household registered population(χ² = 263.28, P < 0.05). In the cases, gender ratio was 2.17 : 1. More than 70% of the cases were between 15 and 44 years old. The majority of the cases were workers(34.95%), followed by housework or unemployed(16.28%). The proportion of TB case responding to the treatment was 93.38%, which was 93.41% for newly diagnosed cases and 92.86% for previously treated cases. The failure rate in the previously treated smear-positive cases was significantly higher than newly treated smear-positive cases(χ² = 4.96, P < 0.05). Conclusion TB epidemic in Songjiang District remained at a low level in 2008-2017;however, it is far away from the termination of TB. We should further strengthen the prevention and control of TB, especially in the 15-44 years old workers and unemployed young population.

Shanghai Journal of Preventive Medicine.2021;33(3):203-. doi:10.19428/j.cnki.sjpm.2021.20343

Objective Based on the text analysis of COVID-19 media report, text mining was used to probe the trend of major public health emergencies and response of the government and social subjects in China. Methods Using the topic model method, we focused on the quantity of news report, topic content, development trend, and emotional tendency, to present the characteristics of media report on China's public health emergency, and the response mechanism of the Chinese government and the whole society. Results The media report and news commentary of COVID-19 showed a consistent trend with the epidemic progress. The governmental response was the main target of media report, while social power, medical progress and other categories also attracted some attention. The development trend of different topics was characterized by continual or periodic variation due to their different attributes. Conclusion The topic model method comprehensively demonstrates the development and response process of the COVID-19 epidemic. The model may provide a new perspective to improve the national public emergency management system.

Shanghai Journal of Preventive Medicine.2021;33(3):212-. doi:10.19428/j.cnki.sjpm.2021.20475

Objective To determine the effects of the"double random"supervision model of public places in Yangpu District, Shanghai. Methods Using the"double random"data of public places in Yangpu District of Shanghai from 2018 to 2019, we determined the proportion of unqualified public places assessed by daily supervision and"double random"supervision in 2018 and 2019. Moreover, we identified that if the public places that had been penalized in 2018 would be penalized in 2019, which may reflect the effects of the"double random"supervision model. Results The proportion of unqualified public places assessed by"double random"supervision was significantly higher than daily supervision in 2018(χ² = 58.04, P < 0.05)and 2019(χ² = 79.24, P < 0.05);however, the proportion of being penalized in the following year between"double random"supervision and daily supervision had no significant difference(χ² = 1.81, P = 0.18). Conclusion "Double random"supervision may be easier to identify the problems of the supervision subjects than daily supervision; however, it warrants continual efforts to consolidate the regulatory effects.

Objective To determine the effects of health education on medication compliance and bone mineral density of patients with osteoporosis in community. Methods A total of 123 patients with osteoporosis in A and B community(64 patients in control group and 59 patients in intervention group)received diverse health education and guidance. After a 2-year intervention, knowledge of osteoporosis, health behavior, medication compliance and bone mineral density change were compared between the two groups. Results In the intervention group, the proportions of correctly responding to the questions of osteoporosis were significantly improved before and after intervention(P < 0.05), except the questions of"exercise to what extent is better". Similarly, health behavior and medication compliance were also significantly improved in the intervention group(P < 0.05). In addition, knowledge of osteoporosis, most health behavior and medication compliance were better than those in the control group(P < 0.05). The difference in the bone mineral densitybetween the intervention group and the control group before and after intervention was 0.025±0.322 and -0.139±0.312(P < 0.05), respectively, showing significant differences(P < 0.05). Conclusion Health education for patients with osteoporosis may significantly improve health behavior, medication compliance, bone mineral density, and prognosis of osteoporosis.

Objective To determine the mutations of common deafness-related genes and explore the clinical significance of universal screening in neonates in Changning District of Shanghai. Methods Microarray gene screening was used to detect the following common mutation sites, including GJB2(c.35delG, c.176 del16, c.235delC, c.299 delAT); SLC26A4(c.IVS7-2A > G, c.2168A > G, c.1174A > T, c.1226G > A, c.1229C > T, c.IVS15+5G > A, c.1975G > C, c.2027T > A); mitochondrial DNA 12S rRNA(m.1555A > G; m.1494C > T)and GJB3(c.538C > T). In addition, hearing screening was conducted. Results In a total of 2 006 neonates, 90 cases(4.49%)had the mutations, including 40(1.99%)carrying a GJB2 single heterozygous mutation, 38(1.89%)carrying a SLC26A4 single heterozygous mutation, 4(0.20%)carrying a mitochondrial 12S rRNA homogeneous mutation, and 6(0.30%)carrying a GJB3 single heterozygous mutation. There were two double heterozygous mutations. In addition, 11 cases failed in the hearing screening. Conclusion There are mutations of deafness-related genes in neonates in Changning District of Shanghai, in which GJB2 and SLC26A4 are common. It remains crucial to combine screening of common deafness-related genes and hearing test in neonates for improving the health quality. Moreover, it is significant in preventing and controlling the hearing disability in three levels.

Shanghai Journal of Preventive Medicine.2021;33(3):228-. doi:10.19428/j.cnki.sjpm.2021.19562

Objective To investigate the level of cadmium(Cd)in commercial aquatic products in Xiacheng District, Hangzhou. Methods We randomly collected 293 aquatic products which belonged to six aquatic animals in the markets in Xiacheng District to determine the content of Cd. It was further evaluated by single factor pollution index(PI)according to the standard GB 2762-2017. In 11 samples of swimming crabs, Cd was examined in the different parts. Results There was no significant difference in the content of Cd between the samples collected in the markets and those in the supermarkets. It significantly differed in the samples of different aquatic animals(P < 0.05). The prevalence of Cd that exceeded the standard was as follows: seawater crustaceans(28.6%) > cephalopods(11.1%) > freshwater crustaceans(8.4%) > bivalves(6.9%). However, it was not excessive in the samples of fish. The mean level of Cd in the seawater crustaceans was 0.466 3 mg/kg, which resulted in the proportion of the samples that were excessive being 28.6%. Particularly, the mean level in sea crab was as high as 1.101 mg/kg with the proportion being 66.7%. In the samples of swimming crabs, there was a significant difference in the prevalence of Cd between swimming crab gonads and crab chests or legs(P > 0.05), while no statistical difference between crab chests and legs(P > 0.05). Conclusion The content of Cd in the aquatic products may be excessive in Xiacheng District, which warrants additional regulatory efforts to food safety. The public should reduce the consumption of aquatic products with high content of Cd.
