    Abstract: Most cardiovascular diseases occur in low‐ and middle‐income regions of the world, but the socioeconomic distribution within China remains unclear. Our study aims to investigate whether the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases differs among high‐, middle‐, and low‐income regions of China and to explore the reasons for the disparities. Methods and Results We enrolled 46 285 individuals from 115 urban and rural communities in 12 provinces across China between 2005 and 2009. We recorded their medical histories of cardiovascular diseases and calculated the INTERHEART Risk Score for the assessment of cardiovascular risk‐factor burden, with higher scores indicating greater burden. The mean INTERHEART Risk Score was higher in high‐ and middle‐income regions than in low‐income regions (9.47, 9.48, and 8.58, respectively, P 〈 0.0001). By contrast, the prevalence of total cardiovascular disease (stroke, ischemic heart disease, and other heart diseases that led to hospitalization) was lower in high‐ and middle‐income regions than in low‐income regions (7.46%, 7.42%, and 8.36%, respectively, P trend =0.0064). In high‐ and middle‐income regions, urban communities have higher INTERHEART Risk Score and higher prevalent rate than rural communities. In low‐income regions, however, the prevalence of total cardiovascular disease was similar between urban and rural areas despite the significantly higher INTERHEART Risk Score for urban settings. Conclusions We detected an inverse trend between risk‐factor burden and cardiovascular disease prevalence in urban and rural communities in high‐, middle‐, and low‐income regions of China. Such asymmetry may be attributed to the interregional differences in residents’ awareness, quality of healthcare, and availability and affordability of medical services.

    Abstract: We generated a high‐quality reference genome sequence of semi‐winter Brassica napus . Our BAC‐to‐BAC strategy was effective in the assembly of repetitive regions. The main phenotypic difference between semi‐winter and winter B. napus morphotypes is the vernalization requirement. Here, we found that a key gene controlling the vernalization‐responsive flowering time was altered in the semi‐winter type ‘ZS11’ through both homoeologous exchanges and genomic introgression with B. rapa .

    In: Future Microbiology, Future Medicine Ltd, Vol. 12, No. 12 ( 2017-09), p. 1075-1086
    Abstract: Aim: To investigate the species distribution and antifungal susceptibility profiles of yeast isolates causing invasive infections across Beijing. Materials & methods: A total of 1201 yeast isolates recovered from blood and other sterile body fluids were correctly identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization TOF MS supplemented by DNA sequencing. Antifungal susceptibility testing was performed according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute broth microdilution method. Results: Candida (95.5%) remained the most common yeast species isolated; Candida albicans (38.8%) and Candida parapsilosis (22.6%) were the leading species of candidemia. Azole resistances were mainly observed in Candida glabrata and Candida tropicalis isolates. Conclusion: This study outlined the epidemiologic data of invasive yeast infections and highlighted the need for continuous monitoring of azole resistances among C. glabrata and C. tropicalis isolates in Beijing.

    Abstract: Data regarding the epidemiology of reduced visual acuity (VA) among multiethnic children and adolescents in China are few. Understanding the vision-related health inequalities among different ethnic groups is crucial for health resource allocations and clinical managements for eye diseases. PURPOSE We aim to determine the prevalence, main causes, and health inequalities of reduced VA in multiethnic school students in rural China. METHODS A school-based eye survey including 7681 multiethnic school students aged 5 to 16 years in the southwestern part of China was conducted. Detailed ocular examinations including VA measurements, ocular motility evaluations, bilateral postcycloplegic refractions, and the assessments of the external eye, anterior segment, media, and retinal fundus were carried out by trained research vision professionals. Visual acuity was measured using a logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution E-chart, and reduced VA was defined as a presenting VA of worse than 20/40. Concentration index was initiatively utilized to measure health inequalities among different ethnic groups. RESULTS The prevalence of reduced VA was 11.4 per 100 children (95% confidence interval, 10.7 to 12.1%) based on the worse-seeing eye data. The prevalence of reduced VA increased with increasing age ( P 〈 .001 for trend) and was higher among girls compared with boys ( P 〈 .0001). Uncorrected refractive error was the principal cause for reduced VA, which accounted for 87.3% of the participants with reduced VA. The concentration index for reduced VA was 0.07 among different ethnic groups. CONCLUSIONS Compared with the estimates reported from previous studies on Chinese children and adolescents, a relatively lower prevalence of reduced VA was observed among multiethnic school students in rural China. Ethnic variations and health inequalities of reduced VA were not significant in this study.

    Abstract: We aimed to determine the prevalence and possible ethnic variations in strabismus and amblyopia among multiethnic school-aged children in rural China. A total of 9,263 children (4,347 Han, 3,352 Yi, 799 Dai and 765 Bai) aged 6 to 14 years were analyzed. Comprehensive eye examinations including monocular distance visual acuity, anterior segment examination, autorefraction, cover testing and ocular motility were conducted. Manifested strabismus was detected in 3.53% of the overall population. The prevalence of strabismus was 3.29% in Han, 4.12% in Yi, 2.25% in Dai, and 3.66% in Bai ethnic groups with marginally inter-ethnic differences ( P  = 0.046). There was an increasing trend in the prevalence of strabismus with increasing age (P  〈  0.001). Amblyopia affected 132 children (1.43%) overall, with no statistical differences in gender and age. The prevalence of amblyopia was highest in Dai ethnic group (2.00%) and lowest in ethnic Yi ethnic group (1.04%) with no significant difference being detected ( P  = 0.062). Refractive error and strabismus were the two major factors associated with amblyopia. No significant ethnic differences in strabismus and amblyopia among Chinese ethnic minorities were observed. Refractive error and strabismus were the major causes for amblyopia in rural Chinese children.
