Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the trends and risk factors of overweight and obesity in Chinese middle school students.  Methods  Data from the China Education Panel Survey conducted in 2014, 2015 and 2016 were used (8 616, 8 762, 7 614; age range 11-18 years old). Overweight and obesity were defined according to Chinese sex-age-specific body mass index (BMI) cutoffs. Relationships between risk factors and BMI, overweight and obesity were tested, using linear regression and logistic regression models.  Results  The overall prevalence of overweight and obesity in 2016 was 15.3% (17.9% in boys, 12.6% in girls). From 2014 to 2016, the prevalence of overweight and obesity was increasing steadily. After adjusting for age and sex in 2016, being only-child, self-perceived being overweight or obese, or living in urban area were associated with higher BMI (β(SE)=0.23(0.10), β(SE)=2.83(0.14), β(SE)=0.23(0.11), respectively). Self-perceived being overweight or obese was associated with overweight and obesity (OR=4.20, 95% CI: 2.97-5.40).  Conclusions  Overweight and obesity rates among Chinese middle school students increased steadily from 2014 to 2016. Efforts should be made on childhood obesity prevention and control, especially target at those being only-child, living in urban areas.

Abstract:
  Objective  To analyze the status, changing trends and determinants of mental health of migrant adolescents in junior high schools.  Methods  All of the data came from China Education Panel Survey (CEPS). CEPS baseline survey was conducted during the 2013-2014 school year by using a stratified multistage probability sampling design. 10 279 nationally representative adolescents from the seventh grade in junior high schools were enrolled in the base school year of data collection and 9 449 participants were followed up at the second wave of data collection during the 2014-2015 school year. Our analytic sample (n=1 645) included all the migrant adolescents who had valid data on mental health. Based on CEPS self-reported mental health scale, t-test method and multivariate linear regression model were used to examine the determinants of mental health of migrant adolescents by performing univariate analysis and multivariate analysis.  Results  The baseline mental health score of migrant adolescents was (8.33±3.31), higher than that of non-migrant adolescents, and significantly increased to (8.60±3.79) in the follow-up school year. 43.3% of participants had negative mental status at higher frequency as time went on. Sex, cognitive skills, co-residence arrangements, numbers of siblings and school rankings were significant influencing factors for mental health score of migrant adolescents.  Conclusions  The mental health status of migrant adolescents are more vulnerable than that of non-migrant adolescents and continue deteriorating. Among migrant adolescents, female, those with weak cognitive skills, those who do not live with both parents, those who are not only children and those in schools ranking medium and above are more likely to have a poor mental health state.

Abstract:
  Objective  To analyse the status and related factors of physical development of ninth grade students in China, so as to provide reference and scientific basis for the development of adolescent' physical health promotion programs.  Methods  Multiple linear regression and binomial Logistic regression models were used to analyse the data from 7 840 ninth grade students in the 2016 China Education Panel Survey.  Results  There were differences in the distribution of height and weight between urban and rural and between boys and girls.From the age of 14 to 16, boys were taller and heavier than girls(height cm: 171.69±6.95 vs 161.54±5.58, weight kg: 60.43±13.19 vs 53.21±11.69), and urban students were taller and heavier than rural students(height cm: 167.93±8.16 vs 165.80±7.94;weight kg: 58.18±13.16 vs 55.94±12.78). The rate of physical fitness of boys was lower than that of girls(51.8% vs 87.8%), and that of urban boys was lower than that of rural boys(45.7% vs 58.9%), and that of urban girls was higher than that of rural girls(92.0% vs 84.6%). The average age of first spermatorrhea was 13.62±1.23 years for boys and 12.87±1.07 years for girls. Sexual development of urban students appeared earlier than rural students. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that height and weight were related to bring single-child and sleep time. Height was also related to parents'height, nationality, family economic level and exercise time, weight was also related to parents' weight (all P < 0.05). Binomial Logistic regression analysis showed that physical fitness level was related to gender, nationality, nutritional status, weight, high calorie intake, exercise time, etc (all P < 0.05). Correlative factors of male first spermatorrhea were nationality, urban residence, singleton, sleep time, physical fitness level, while female menarche was related to exercise time, lunch spot and nutritional status (all P < 0.05).  Conclusions  Comprehensive efforts and cooperation are needed to promote the normal development and physical health of the students.

Abstract:
  Objective  To analyze the mechanism of the influencing factors of myopia for junior high school students in China.  Methods  Based on the follow-up to 7 119 students in the 3 waves of questionnaire survey of the Chinese Education Panel Survey in junior high school stage, and the variables on students' myopia status, myopia influencing factors, and two kinds of risk behaviors of myopia including near visual activities and outdoor activities, the mediation effects of the myopia risk behaviors were tested by Logistic regression model.  Results  The myopia prevalence of 9th graders before junior high school graduation was 66.36%. Time on writing homework significantly increased the risk of myopia, the odds ratio (OR) was 1.17, the 95% confidence interval (CI) was 1.13-1.21, and the time on outdoor sports significantly decreased the risk of myopia (OR=0.80, 95% CI: 0.75-0.86). Before and after including the risk behaviors into the model, the myopia risk OR(95% CI) of female centralized from 1.84(1.66-2.04) to 1.69(1.51-1.88), the myopia risk OR(95% CI) of urban students'centralized from 1.19(1.03-1.37) to 1.16(1.00-1.34), the myopia risk OR(95% CI) of only children'centralized from 1.20(1.06-1.36) to 1.18(1.04-1.33). With reference to not myopic for both parents, the myopia risk OR(95% CI) of students having one myopic parent centralized from 2.47(2.12-2.88) to 2.44(2.09-2.85), the myopia risk OR(95% CI) of students having parent without myopic centralized from 4.25(3.09-5.86) to 4.13(3.00-5.69).  Conclusions  Gender, urban and rural, only child, and myopic parents are influencing factors of myopia. These factors have effects on myopia via two kinds of risk behaviors including outdoor activities and near visual activities.

Abstract:
  Objective  The aim of this study was to investigate associations of overall obesity (OO) and abdominal obesity (AO) with brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) among type 2 diabetes(T2DM) patients.  Methods  A community-based study for T2DM patients was conducted in rural communities in Beijing.Every patient completed a questionnaire to collect demography, lifestyle and diseases history, and underwent physical examinations, baPWV assessments and blood biochemical tests. Multivariate linear regression was used to assess the relationship between obesity index and baPWV. Abnormal baPWV was defined as patients with baPWV ≥ 1, 700 cm/s. Logistic regression model was performed to explore the risk of abnormal baPWV after adjusting for poetential confounders step by step.  Results  A total of 2 048 T2DM patients were recruited. The average age was (59.2±8.3) years and total prevalence of abnormal baPWV was 49.7%. After multivariable adjustment, linear regression showed that there was a negative correlation between body mass index(BMI) and baPWV and a positive correlation between waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and baPWV. Compared to normal weight group, those with BMI ≥ 28 kg/m2 had lower risk of abnormal baPWV (OR=0.59, 95% CI: 0.44-0.78, P < 0.001), but there was an increased risk of 46% among patients with obesity in WHR (OR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.07-2.00, P=0.018). Compared to those without OO and AO, patients without OO but with AO had a 1.67-fold increasesd risk of abnormal baPWV (OR=1.67, 95% CI: 1.19-2.35, P=0.003).  Conclusions  Abdominal obesity is related with arterial stiffnening among T2DM patients, and it is critical to evaluate arterial stiffness of T2DM patients with abdmonal obesity and normal BMI in order to reduce future risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract:
  Objective  To understand the intention to quit smoking and its influencing factors among current smokers in Gansu Province, so as to provide scientific basis for tobacco control.  Methods  A multi-stage sampling method was used to extract current smokers aged 15-69 years, and a face-to-face survey was conducted using the questionnaire on smoking among residents in China. Intention to quit smoking between current smokers with different characteristics was analyzed. Logistic regression was used to explore influencing factors of intention to quit smoking.  Results  The intention of current smokers to quit smoking in Gansu Province was 16.4% (95% CI: 15.5%-17.3%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that current smokers who were in rural areas (OR=1.199, 95% CI: 1.022-1.408, P=0.026); family smoking prohibited (OR=1.767, 95% CI: 1.273-2.454, P=0.001), medical staff discouraged smoking within 12 months (OR=1.599, 95% CI: 1.359-1.842, P < 0.001), visited smoking clinics (OR=3.089, 95% CI: 2.031-4.698, P < 001), higher educational level of junior high school, senior high school and college or above (OR=1.383, 95% CI: 1.101-1.736; OR=1.627, 95% CI: 1.252-2.116; OR=1.374, 95% CI: 1.009-1.873, all P < 0.05), tobacco hazards knowledge with higher scores of 1-, 3- and 5-6 (OR=1.248, 95% CI: 1.030-1.514; OR=1.574, 95% CI: 1.289-1.922; OR=2.288, 95% CI: 1.879-2.786, all P < 0.05) were more likely to quit smoking; furthermore, smokers aged 20-, 30- years or smoking 20-, 30- years had a lower chance of quit smoking (all P < 0.05).  Conclusions  The intention of current smokers to quit smoking in Gansu province is generally not high. In the future, knowledge of tobacco hazards should be further promoted, medical staff should provide more smoking cessation services during the treatment process, and more smoking cessation clinics should be established.

Abstract:
  Objective  To explore the spatiotemporal distribution pattern, and identify risk cluster of esophageal cancer in Huai'an City so as to provide evidence for control and prevention of esophageal cancer.  Methods  Data of esophageal cancer incidence at township level in Huai'an City from 2011 to 2015 was collected. Spatial autocorrelation and local indications of spatial autocorrelation (LISA) were implemented to evaluate the spatial pattern of esophageal cancer incidence. Spatial scan statistics was used to examine spatio-temporal clustering of risk areas.  Results  The average incidence of esophageal cancer in Huai'an from 2011 to 2015 was 67.12/10 million, the incidence of male was significantly higher than that of female. The results of Moran's I values implyed the spatial autocorrelation at township level. The results of LISA indicated that there were local hot spots and cold spots. The significant high-risk clusters included townships in Huai'an County, Huaiyin County and Jinhu County. The low-risk clusters were located in the main urban area and Xuyi County.  Conclusions  There are significant spatio-temporal aggregation for the distribution of incidence of esophageal cancer in Huai'an City and same spatiotemporal high-risk clusters between male and female. Our findings have a foundation to explore the multi-factorial etiology of esophageal cancer and have vital practical value for health services and policies implementation.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate and analyze the prevalence, variation and mutations of genotyping drug resistance of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome(HIV/AIDS) patients with treatment failure from 16 prefectures in Yunnan Province from 2014 to 2016.  Methods  A cross-sectional study was conducted and epidemiological information collected from subject investigated. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) was used to amplify HIV-1 pol gene fragments adopt In-house method, the alignment analysis was underway after sequencing, elucidated the resistant state of the three types of antiviral drugs.  Results  Based on the total patients treated from 2014 to 2016, 1 368 cases (58.8%) with drug-resistant mutations occurred all over province. A rough estimate of the overall resistance rate of HIV-1 was 1.6% (1 368/84 146). Drug-resistant strains were found in 16 cities. The highest overall drug resistant rate was 4.5% of Zhaotong, and among treatment failure population was Dehong's 72.9%(100/145). The mutations rates of nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors(NRTIs), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors(NNRTIs) and protease inhibitors(PIs) in viral failure patients were 51.1% (699/1 368), 91.2% (1 248/1 368), 9.6%(132/1 368);The mutation sites with the highest frequency of the three kinds of drugs were NRTIs-M184V (71.1%), NNRTIs-K103N (43.7%), PIs-K20I (24.2%).  Conclusions  At present, HIV-1 drug resistance in Yunnan shows a low prevalence level, and there is a certain difference of resistant rate distribution in various cities. NNRTIs and NRTIs give priority to the drug resistance among the three kinds of drugs, the overall situation is significantly different from results of 2008-2012. We should strengthen the management of antiviral therapy and the detection of genotypic resistance, reduce the incidence of drug resistance, and control the occurrence and spread of drug-resistant strains.

  Objective  To investigate the molecular evolution of the Hemagglutinin (HA) and Neuraminidase (NA) genes of influenza A/H3N2 viruses in Shenzhen in the first half of 2017, so as to provide scientific basis for predicating influenza epidemic and variation.  Methods  A total of 40 influenza A/H3N2 viruses strains were selected and the molecular phylogenetic trees were constructed by bioinformatics software DNAStar, MEGA 7.0, etc. Then, the genetic characteristics and variation of HA and NA genes along with corresponding amino acids were analyzed.  Results  The homology of Shenzhen isolates reached 97.8%-100.0%, which located in the human-derived branch of Asia and North America. Compared with the vaccine strains A/Switzerland/9715293/2013(H3N2) and A/Hong Kong 14801/2014(H3N2) recommended by world Health Oraganication (WHO), there was a higher sequence similarity. Compared with the vaccine strain, HA and NA proteins had a number of amino acid sites replaced, of which HA 6 antigen sites and 2 receptor binding sites change; NA had a mutation of D151N/G located in enzyme activity sites. Potential N-glycosylation sites for HA and NA also changed.  Conclusions  The influenza A/H3N2 viruses in Shenzhen in the first half of 2017 has not yet formed a new subtype in the epidemic. Currently, the recommended vaccine strains still have some protective effects on the population. The replacement mutation of multiple amino acids sites of HA and NA suggests that the dynamic monitoring of molecular level of influenza A/H3N2 viruses need to be strengthened.

Abstract:
  Objective  To study the pollution and source apportionment differences of different periods PM2.5 in the residential community of suburb in Tianjin City during heating and non-heating periods.  Methods  From 2015 to 2016, daytime and nighttime PM2.5 samples were collected at a community in the suburb of Tianjin. The mass concentration of PM2.5 samples and major chemical components in PM2.5, including metal elements, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and inorganic water-soluble ions were monitored. Positive matrix factorization (PMF) model was used to apportion potential sources of metal elements, PAHs and inorganic water-soluble ions in daytime and nighttime PM2.5.  Results  In the heating period, the concentrations of some metal elements of suburban residential community were higher in the daytime than in the nighttime. In the non-heating period, the concentrations of some PAHs and inorganic water-soluble ions of suburban residential community were higher in the nighttime than in the daytime. Meanwhile, the concentrations of some metal elements were greater in the daytime than in the nighttime. When in heating period, the main source of PM2.5 in the suburban residential community was coal combustion during daytime and its source contribution rate was 50.1% while secondary aerosol and fuel combustion emissions of gasoline and diesel vehicles were main sources during nighttime and their source contribution rates were 41.0% and 35.9%. The principal source of daytime PM2.5 in the suburban residential community was indoor activity emissions during non-heating period, and secondary aerosol was main source during nighttime and their source contribution rates were 29.8% and 31.1%.  Conclusions  The pollution status of PM2.5 in residential communities of suburban is serious, and the source apportionment of day and night PM2.5 samples has different in different heating periods.

Abstract:
  Objective  To retrospectively analyze the clinical data of patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) caused by scrub typhus in Guangxi, to evaluate the incidence of AKI, and to search for the prediction indicators of AKI.  Methods  Data of 211 patients from The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from 2014 to 2018 were collected and divided into AKI group (58 cases) and non-acute kidney injury (NAKI) group (153 cases). The auxiliary examination, treatment measures and complications of the two groups were compared. Regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors associated with AKI.  Results  There were 58 cases (27.49%, 95% CI: 1.66-1.76, P < 0.001) with AKI and 166 cases were all negative in the field test. Compared with the NAKI group, the incidence and need rate of AKI were higher than NAKI group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that blood system damage (OR=4.536, 95% CI: 1.262-16.308), the use of hormones (OR=3.261, 95% CI: 1.259-8.446) and diuretics (OR=3.870, 95% CI: 1.186-12.633) were risk factors for AKI. Low direct bilirubin (OR=0.952, 95% CI: 0.915-0.991) was a protective factor.  Conclusion  The incidence of scrub typhus induced AKI in Guangxi is in the middle level at domestic and abroad. Patients with scrub typhus who have complications of blood system damage and have to be treated with hormones and diuretics are risk factors for AKI.
