Abstract:
  Objective   To clarify the depression status of empty-nest elderly in Shanxi Province, to explore the related influencing factors by structural equation model, and to provide scientific basis for the prevention and intervention of depression for empty nesters.   Methods   A questionnaire survey was conducted among 4 901 empty-nest elderly in Shanxi Province by self-rating depression scale and general situation questionnaire, and the model was established.   Results   The prevalence of depressive symptoms among empty nesters in Shanxi Province was 64.21%. The model demonstrated that health status had a direct impact on depressive symptoms (P=0.028), the total effect was -0.978; the effect of economic status on depressive symptoms was 0.086 (P=0.030), and social function had no significant impact on depressive symptoms (P=0.173), which could affect depressive symptoms through affecting health status and economic status. There was a significant correlation between the three latent variables (P < 0.05). Health status had the strongest correlation with social function (r=0.942), followed by economic status (r=0.718), and the correlation between social function and economic status was 0.683.   Conclusions   In this research, most of the empty-nest elderly suffer from depressive symptoms. Health status is the most direct and important influencing factor of depressive symptoms in empty nesters. Social function affects depressive symptoms through influencing health status and economic status.

Abstract:
  Objective  To analyze the stage characteristics in the exercise behavior improvement of college students and explore the role of Process in the exercise behavior change based on the transtheoretical model, providing basis for the stage-matched intervention for the exercise behavior of college students.  Methods  There were 932 students who completed the questionnaires, from 5 universities in Shanxi Province were selected by using a stratified random cluster sampling method. Descriptive analysis was used to describe the exercise behavior of college students. Variance analysis and multivariate Logistic regression model were used to analyze the difference of the process of with stage of change among college students' physical exercise. Multivariate variance analysis was used to analyze how personal characteristics affect process of change.  Results  Among all participants, 89.4% students knew the importance of physical exercise, and 29.4% students were satisfied with their physical exercise condition. The distribution of students' physical exercise stage showed an inverted U-shape with left-side peak, and there was a significant difference between gender(χ2=54.657, P < 0.001). There were significant stage characteristics in the process of students' exercise behavior, gender had a significant main effects on mutual aid relation(F=7.400, P=0.07)and conscious control (F=7.778, P=0.005), gender and grade had interaction effects on social release (F=3.614, P=0.013).  Conclusions  The college students' exercise behavior showed the characteristics of "knowing but not to do", which conformed to the Transtheoretical model. It is essential to develop targeted phased exercise intervention strategies according to the relationship between change of phase and change of procedure.

Abstract:
  Objective  To compare the changes of safe sexual behavior and its intention among college students in Beijing between 2006 and 2016, and to provide evidence for reproductive health education for prevention and control of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).  Methods  By a stratified random sampling method, a questionnaire survey was conducted among college students in Beijing in 2006 and 2016 respectively.  Results  The rate of sexual behaviors declined (χ2=81.150, P < 0.001), while the percentage of homosexual behavior among respondents in 2016 was higher than that in 2006(χ2=12.115, P < 0.001). Meanwhile, the age of first sexual intercourse (t=12.009, P < 0.001) and the intention of safe sexual behavior declined(χ2=10.375, P < 0.001). In both surveys, the proportion of risk behaviors among students who ever had sexual behavior was higher than that of students never had sexual behavior. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that the intention of safe sexual behavior among college students was associated with gender, age, self-efficacy of condom use, UNGASS index, visiting entertainment places and browsing pornographic information on the Internet(all P < 0.05).  Conclusions  Compared with 2006, the safe sexualbehavior, intention and their risk factors among college students in Beijing changed greatly in 2016. The contents and approaches of intervention related to STDs and reproductive health should be changed according to the current situation in order to improve the intention of safe sexual behavior among college students and to control the occurrence of STDs.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the association between maternal food group intakes during pregnancy and the risk of infantile eczema in a Chinese population.  Methods  A prospective birth cohort study was conducted and 523 women were recruited at 20-28 weeks of pregnancy in Guangzhou from 2017 to 2018. A validated 81-item quantitative food frequency questionnaire was used to assess maternal dietary intakes during the past month. Food items were divided into ten food groups according to the Chinese Dietary Guidelines. Offspring were followed up at 6 months by the symptom questionnaire of eczema. Multivariate Logistic regression model was conducted to evaluate the association between maternal food group intakes during pregnancy and the risk of infantile eczema.  Results  The cumulative incidence of eczema at 6 months was 51.8%. Maternal consumption of poultry was higher in the eczema group (27.62±25.20 g/d) than the control group (22.03±22.63 g/d, P=0.022). Comparing to the lowest quantile (Q1), higher maternal intake of poultry (Q4) and fish (Q3) were significantly associated with an increased risk of infantile eczema (OR=2.71, 95% CI=1.24-4.81; OR=2.38, 95% CI=1.23-4.59, respectively) after multivariate adjustment.  Conclusion  Higher intakes of poultry or fish during pregnancy were associated with an increased risk of infantile eczema in Chinese population.

Abstract:
  Objective  To understand the prevalence of anemia and its influencing factors in infants aged 6 to 24 months in poor areas of Gansu Province, and to provide reference for improving the prevalence of anemia in local children.  Methods  A multi-stage sampling method was used to conduct a survey on infant and caregivers, in the 12 children nutrition improvement project counties in Gansu Province. T-test and analysis of variance were used to compare the hemoglobin content, the chi-square test was used to compare the prevalence of anemia, and the Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors.  Results  Among the 3 188 effective data, the detection rate of anemia was 25.69% (819). The detection rate of anemia among boys and girls was 24.54% and 26.90%, respectively. There was no significant difference in the detection rate of anemia among different sexes (χ2=2.326, P=0.127). The detection rate of anemia between different age groups were statistically significant (χ2=42.339, P < 0.001); The results of multivariate analysis showed that children's age, children's ethnic groups, parents' awareness of feeding knowledge, the feeding method of 6 months after birth and the way of taking nutritional packs were associated with anemia (all P < 0.05).  Conclusions  The prevalence of anemia in infants aged 6 to 24 months in poor areas in Gansu Province was relatively high. Strengthening the education of caretakers' knowledge of guardian feeding and scientific child-rearing, and ensuring the nutrition packages intake can significantly reduce the prevalence of anemia prevalence in poor areas in Gansu Province.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the vitamin D (VD) level and determinants among young children aged 6 to 23 months in 4 poverty-stricken ethnic minority areas of Yunnan Province.  Methods  Multistage stratified cluster sampling method was used. 1 255 young children aged 6-23 months from 3 to 4 towns of Jianchuan County, Yiliang County, Mojiang County and Lushui County. Questionnaires on caregivers, physical and serum 25(OH)D measure were achieved. VD level and influencing factors were described and analyzed.  Results  Overall VD level was 20.6(16.3, 25.4) ng/ml. The proportion of VD deficiency, VD insufficiency and VD sufficiency were 7.1%, 39.2% and 53.7% respectively. The risk of VD insufficiency elevated with children'age increasing or no VD supplement (P < 0.05). Hani minority can decrease the risk of VD deficiency and insufficiency (all P < 0.05). Thus, the risk of VD deficiency and insufficiency in children of female, Lisu or Bai minority, or in children who had no nutritional package supplement would increase (all P < 0.05).  Conclusions  The VD level of children aged 6-23 months in poverty-stricken ethnic minority areas of Yunnan Province was low. VD insufficiency was dominating. The intervention of VD deficiency and insufficiency may focus on the children of female, Lisu minority, Bai minority or older than 18 months. This study highlight that enhancing caregivers' knowledge of VD nutrition, adding VD and nutritional package supplement actively are beneficial to improve VD nutrition of young children in minority poverty areas of Yunnan.

Abstract(198) HTML (106) PDF(28)
Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the relationship between albumin/globulin ratio (AGR) and postoperative survival among patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC) undergoing radical oesophagectomy, to establish an effective prognostic nomogram for ESCC and to provide a reference for prognosis prediction of ESCC.  Methods  From February 2014 to September 2017, 390 ESCC patients who underwent surgery were retrospectively enrolled from the tumor hospital in Fujian Province. The receiver operating characteristic curves(ROC) were applied to establish optimal cutoff points. Chi-square test was used to estimate the relationship between the AGR and the clinical features. Cox proportional hazards model was used to estimate the HR and 95% CI for the associations between AGR and Prognosis of ESCC patients. A nomogram model was established to predict the outcome of ESCC patients.  Results  The ROC demonstrated the best cutoff value for AGR was 1.16. A total of 356 patients were recruited in the final analysis, who were divided into the high AGR group (≥ 1.16) and the low AGR group (< 1.16) by the best cutoff value. Both 1-year and 3-year survival rates in the high AGR group were higher than those detected in the low AGR group(all P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the T stage, N stage, and AGR were independent prognostic factors of overall survival(all P < 0.05). The HR of T stage was 1.87 (T3-T4 vs T1-T2, 95% CI: 1.04-3.35); The HR of N stage was1.89 (N+ vs N0, 95% CI: 1.13-3.17); The HR of AGR was 0.57(the high AGR group vs the low AGR group, 95%CI: 0.36-0.90). The concordance index(C-index) of the nomogram to predict overall survival was 0.68 (95% CI: 0.62-0.73, P < 0. 001).  Conclusions  The AGR was an independent prognosis factor for operated ESCC patients. The prognosis of ESCC in the high AGR group was better than that in the low AGR group and the prognostic nomogram provides individualized risk estimate of survival in ESCC patients after surgery.

Abstract:
  Objective  To analyze the death and disease burden of injury in Guangxi from 2014 to 2016, so as to provide scientific basis for making policy strategies on injury prevention.  Methods  Datas from the Death Monitoring Network in Guangxi from 2014 to 2016 were analyzed. Descriptive statistics and Chi square were used to describe the mortalities. The potential years of life lost (YPLL) and average years of potential life lost(AYPLL) were assessed.  Results  A total of 29 288 deaths were reported in Guangxi. The mortality rate was 42.77/100 000. The overall mortality rate decreased over the past three years. Traffic accident, accidental fall, drowning, suicide and sequela, accidental poisoning were the top five causes of injury deaths. The leading cause of injury death in the 0 to 14 age group was drowning, traffic accident in the 15 to 64 age group and accidental fall in the 65 years old and above group. The AYPLL was 29.11 years and, which was higher in male than in female and there was no significant difference between urban and rural. Suicide and sequela had become the biggest average disease burden.  Conclusions  The average mortality rate decreased in Guangxi from 2014 to 2016. It is necessary to take effective measures to prevent and control injury.

Abstract:
  Objective  To understand the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of dengue fever in China from 2011 to 2018, and predict the incidence of dengue fever in China in 2019.  Methods  Based on the case data of dengue fever in China from 2011 to 2018 in the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System, the trend of dengue fever was described and predicted by using the autoregressive integrated moving average model (ARIMA) with R 3.6.0 software. Based on the data of the incidence of dengue fever in the country, provinces and cities from 2011 to 2016 provided by the national scientific data sharing platform for population and health, global and local spatial autocorrelation analysis was performed using GeoDa 1.12 software to determine the dengue fever hotspots.  Results  The incidence of dengue fever was 14 302 in 2019, showing no disease outbreaks. The incidence of dengue fever in 2012(Moran's I=-0.088, P=0.037), 2013(Moran's I=-0.121, P=0.040) and 2014(Moran's I=-0.076, P=0.045) showed a global spatial negatively correlaton. In 2016(Moran's I=0.078, P=0.048), the incidence of dengue fever was positively correlated with global space.

Abstract:
  Objective  To research the prevalence model of hepatitis B virus in the minority areas of Guizhou and to provide reference for the prevention and control virus of hepatitis B virus.  Methods  Using multi-stage cluster simple random sampling, four villages were selected from Leishan and Libo counties in minority areas of Guizhou. Questionnaires were investigated by trained investigators and serum hepatitis B virus five-item test results were collected from the subjects.  Results  A total of 1 629 participants were surveyed, the outcome showed that migrant workers' infection rate of hepatitis B was 44.8%, and the carrying rate of HBsAg was 8.4%. The positive rates of anti-HBs and anti-HBc were 28.0% and 25.6% respectively. The infection model rate of migrant workers was 19.8%, which was lower than that of non-migrant workers (23.2%) (P>0.05).The detection rate of susceptible model in migrant workers (52.2%) was higher than that in non-migrant workers (43.4%), while the detection rate of immune mode migrant workers (28.0%) was lower than that in non-migrant workers (33.4%), which the difference was statistically significant (all P < 0.05). After adjusted related factors by multivariate Logistic regression analysis model, migrant workers were still the influencing factors of vulnerability model (OR=1.568, 95% CI: 1.206-2.039) compared with non-migrant workers.  Conclusion  There was a high susceptibility to hepatitis B virus among migrant workers in minority areas of Guizhou, In order to reduce the infection and prevalence of hepatitis B virus, we should strengthen the immunization of hepatitis B vaccine to migrant workers and to improve their specific immunity.

Abstract:
  Objective  To understand the characteristic of sexual behavior and their associated factors among male and female partners of men who have sex with men in Anhui province.  Methods  Cross-sectional studies were conducted among MSM in Hefei, Wuhu and Liuan in Anhui province. MSM were recruited through "snowball sampling" and "internet-based recruiting", and eligible participant received an anonymous survey. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis model was used to identify risk factors associated with having sex with women in the last 6 months among MSM.  Results  Of the 1 200 MSM interviewed, 78.3% had anal sex with men, and 20.9% had vaginal intercourse with women, and 16.5% had sexual intercourse with both men and women in the past 6 months. Less MSM reported using condom every time with women (29.9%) in the past 6 months than with men (53.0%), and less reported using condom with women (52.2%) during the last sexual intercourse than with men(79.6%) (all P < 0.05). The results of mutivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that MSM who were married(including currently married/cohabitating/divorced/widowed), lived more than 2 years in the surveyed city, and had commercial sex with men were more likely to have sex with women.  Conclusions  There was a high proportion of bisexual behavior and low rate of condom use among MSM. It should strengthen the sexual health education, risk perception education and behavioral intervention among MSM.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the genotypes of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection and distribution characteristics of women in Anhui, and to provide reference for HPV molecular epidemiology research and promotion of vaccine in Anhui.  Methods  The flowcytometry fluorescence hybridization method were used to eaxm 8 744 samples of women HPV Subtype.  Results  The high-risk and low-risk infection rate of HPV were 16.10% and 6.38% respectively. The rate of single and multiple subtype were 13.85% and 5.58% respectively. HPV positive detectable rates were higher in HPV16, HPV52 and HPV58, HPV16 was the highest. The defection rate was significantly different among southern, central and northern in Anhui (χ2=13.790, P=0.008). The infection rates of high risk subtype 51 and 56 in northern were higher than those in the other two regions, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=17.323, P < 0.001; χ2=9.643, P=0.008). Age distribution results showed that the age group with high infection rate was 10-age group (37.50%), 20-age group (23.19%) and ≥ 60 age group (22.16%), and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=61.855, P < 0.001). The infection rates of HPV subtypes in different years were significantly different (χ2=59.479, P < 0.001). The infection rate was the highest in 2015.  Conclusions  The high risk and single genotypes of infection were dominant in Anhui. HPV positive detectable rates were higher in HPV16, HPV52 and HPV58. There was significant difference in different regions (all P < 0.05) and there were some subtypes with higher infection rates. The age distribution of HPV infection showed a trend of high in youngest and oldest group and low in the middle. The infection rate in different years showed a downward trend year by year.

Abstract:
  Objective  To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of rabies in 1955-2016 and the third epidemic period in shaanxi province, and to provide scientific basis for prevention and control of rabies.  Methods  The historical epidemic data from 1853 to 2003, the rabies surveillance data from Chinese diesase prevention and control information system from 2004 to 2017, and the rabies patient case survey data from 2009 to 2017 were collected to conduct the analysis.  Results  From 1953 to 2017, there were three epidemics of human rabies in Shaanxi Province. In 2009-2017, 270 cases of rabies were reported, and rabies cases occurred every month. Cases were mainly concentrated in Guanzhong and southern Shaanxi, and occasional cases were reported in northern Shaanxi. The male-female ratio is 2.51:1, and the occupational composition was dominated by farmers (84.4%). Injured dogs were mainly domesticated dogs, the ratio of domestic and stray dogs was 13.07:1. The exposure level was mainly grade Ⅲ (84.23%). The wounds of 60% cases were not treated after the injury, and the rabies vaccination rate and immunoglobulin utilization rate were both low.  Conclusions  The public's awareness of the dangers of rabies was still insufficient, so that there was no standard treatment after canine bite, which causes disease. It is necessary to increase the publicity of rabies prevention and control knowledge. The focus should be placed on remote areas and rural areas, and the public should be advocated to take the initiative to use the reimbursement policy for medical treatment.

Abstract:
  Objective  To understand the prevalence and epidemiological characteristics of hepatitis C virus (HCV) co-infection among newly reported HIV-infected patients from 2016 to 2017 in Dehong Prefecture of Yunnan Province.  Methods  A cross-sectional survey was conducted to detect HCV antibodies in 2 196 newly reported HIV-infected persons in Dehong Prefecture, Yunnan Province, from 2016 to 2017.  Results  A total of 694 cases(31.6%) were detected antibodies against HCV during HIV-infected persents. The prevalence of HCV co-infection among newly reported HIV-infected patients in Chinese and Burmese was 14.4% (112/780) and 41.1% (582/1 416), respectively. Moreover, the prevalence of HCV co-infection was higher in male, ethnic minorities such as Dai and Jingpo minority, primary school and below and farmers in both Chinese and Burmese. Multivariate Logistic regression model showed that HCV infection was associated with male, Dai minority, HIV infection by injecting drug and famers among Chinese and Burmese reported HIV-infected patients.  Conclusions  The prevalence of HCV co-infection was high among newly reported in Dehong Prefecture of Yunnan Province. Meanwhile, the epidemiological characteristics of HIV/HCV co-infections in Chinese and Burmese are different, thus different prevention and control measures are needed for patients of different nationalities.
