Norms on the construction of self-rated health measurement scale of urban residents in Guangdong

Objective To establish the norms of Self-rated Health Measurement Scale Version 1.0(SRHMS V1.0) for urban residents in Guangdong. Methods We used regional stratified random sampling method to select 6000 urban residents of 5 cities in Guangdong(including Guangzhou, Maoming, Shantou, Shaoguan and Shenzhen)for a questionnaire investigation with SRHMS V1.0, and establish the norms of mean, percentile and threshold based on characteristics of SRHMS V1.0 scores. Results The residents can be divided into 8 groups on the basis of gender and cut-off point of age 40, 50 and 60. The mean norms of SRHMS V1.0 total scores were: (78.57±10.10), (76.93±9.90), (75.33±10.66), (69.45±13.90)for males under age40, 40-50, 50-60 and above 60 respectively; (77.03±10.00), (74.55±10.27), (72.24±11.76), (66.48±14.37)for females under age40, 40-50, 50-60 and above 60 respectively. The percentile norms of SRHMS V1.0 from 5 percent to 95 percent were established with 5% as interval. The norms of cutting off scores were established as five states according to the scores of TS, namely severe poor health, poor health, general health, good health and fairly good health, with(-s), (-0.5s), (+ 0.5s), (+ s) as cutting off scores. Conclusion The study established the SRHMS V1.0 norms for urban residents of Guangdong preliminarily, which provides reference for further research of the population’s health status and its impacting factors.

Wildlife markets in South China

China is one of the largest consumers of wild animals for food and traditional Chinese medicine in the world. A large volume of illegal trade has been recorded in the primary cities, such as Hong Kong and Guangzhou, but the wildlife markets in secondary Chinese cities have not been investigated. This study was carried out in 7 cities in Guangdong and Guangxi provinces. Wildlife trade data were collected using semi-structured interview, observation, and market survey. The study documented the selling of 97 animal species, >7,000 individuals. The most frequently used animal groups by quantity were reptiles (51%), followed by birds (21%) and mammals (10%). Of the reported species, 23% were threatened, including 1 species critically endangered and 12 species endangered. In this study, there were 19 species observed that are recognized by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). The results show that the animals originated not only from south China but also Indochina and Southeast Asia. Our survey also verified that Guangzhou and Hong Kong are not the only wildlife markets in South China. A large volume of illegal trade also is occurring in secondary cities in South China.

Mycorrhizal colonization status of lowland rice (Oryza sativa L.) in the southeastern region of China

The accumulation, distribution, and speciation of contaminants, such as arsenic, in rice can be affected by soil microorganisms such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). As a potential measure to control contaminant acquisition in rice, the status and performance of AMF in the field need to be investigated. Root samples of rice plants were collected in seven different cities in Guangdong, Jiangxi, Hubei, and Jiangsu Provinces in China in order to investigate the colonization rate of AMF. The total DNA of the roots was extracted, followed by PCR and sequencing, and further confirmed the existence of AMF. The highest colonization rates (19.5±7.2%) were observed in samples from Huizhou City, Guangdong Province. Sequences of ribosomal DNA derived from Pingtan (PT) and Shuikou (SK) in Huizhou shared a similarity of 73 and 86% to Glomus cf. clarum Att894-7 (FM865542) and "uncultured fungus" (EF434122.1), respectively. The moisture tolerance of the AMF from different sources was tested by subjecting to different levels of water content in the soil. Only AMF from PT, SK, and LJ colonized rice under a condition of 100% of the soil water holding capacity (WHC), but not those isolated from upland plants. The AM colonization rate could be governed by the lighting conditions and temperature. AMF isolated in paddy fields has been shown to have more tolerance to moisture than other upland species. Radial oxygen loss (species and stress dependent) could be an essential factor influencing the colonization rate and requires more investigation.

Short-term effects of meteorological factors on pediatric hand, foot, and mouth disease in Guangdong, China: a multi-city time-series analysis.

BackgroundLiterature shows inconsistency in meteorological effects on Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) in different cities. This multi-city study aims to investigate the meteorological effects on pediatric HFMD occurrences and the potential effect modification by geographic factors.MethodsBased on daily time-series data in eight major cities in Guangdong, China during 2009–2013, mixed generalized additive models were employed to estimate city-specific meteorological effects on pediatric HFMD. Then, a random-effect multivariate meta-analysis was conducted to obtain the pooled risks and to explore heterogeneity explained by city-level factors.ResultsThere were a total of 400,408 pediatric HFMD cases (children aged 0–14 years old) with an annual incidence rate of 16.6 cases per 1,000 children, clustered in males and children under 3 years old. Daily average temperature was positively associated with pediatric HFMD cases with the highest pooled relative risk (RR) of 1.52 (95 % CI: 1.30–1.77) at the 95th percentile of temperature (30.5 °C) as compared to the median temperature (23.5 °C). Significant non-linear positive effects of high relative humidity were also observed with a 13 % increase (RR = 1.13, 95 % CI: 1.00–1.28) in the risk of HFMD at the 99th percentile of relative humidity (86.9 %) as compared to the median value (78 %). The effect estimates showed geographic variations among the cities which was significantly associated with city’s latitude and longitude with an explained heterogeneity of 32 %.ConclusionsDaily average temperature and relative humidity had non-linear and delayed effects on pediatric HFMD and the effects varied across different cities. These findings provide important evidence for comprehensive understanding of the climatic effects on pediatric HFMD and for the authority to take targeted interventions and measures to control the occurrence and transmission of HFMD.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12879-016-1846-y) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Prevalence and genotype distribution of human papillomavirus among Hakka women in China.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the primary risk factor for cervical cancer. HPV genotypes are associated with varying degrees of pathogenicity. To better formulate strategies for cervical cancer prevention, we investigated the population-specific distribution of HPV genotypes, including those with high carcinogenicity. From January to December 2012, a cervical cancer-screening program for HPV infection in Hakka women of Heyuan City Guangdong province was conducted. Of 736,000 women residents, 8,284 volunteers were recruited. The cytology specimens of 107 women were not adequate and excluded. Thus, 8,177 women submitted to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) sequencing of 16 HPV genotypes via MassARRAY spectrometry. Risk stratification based on genotypes indicated that the prevalence of overall, high-risk, and low-risk HPV infections was 12.27%, 14.20%, and 0.79%, respectively. Of the 1,003 women positively infected, 82.75% were infected with a single HPV type; 17.25% were infected with ≥2 types. Analysis revealed a U-shaped curve in HPV prevalence that correlated with age group, with peaks at ages 18-24 y (22.03%) and 60-65 y (25%). The most frequently detected HPV genotype was HPV-52 (26.81%), and then HPV-16 (17.54%), HPV-58 (14.25%), HPV-18 (10.16%), HPV-68 (8.27%), HPV-39 (5.68%), and HPV-51 (5.38%). HPV-52 is the most prevalent genotype infecting Hakka women. Therefore, vaccination against HPV-52 is imperative. The prevalence of HPV infection is highest in the younger (18-24 y) and older (60-65 y) age groups, indicating that screening for HPV in Hakka women should be performed early and maintained in the elderly.

Characterizing a large outbreak of dengue fever in Guangdong Province, China.

BackgroundDengue cases have been reported each year for the past 25 years in Guangdong Province, China with a recorded historical peak in 2014. This study aims to describe the epidemiological characteristics of this large outbreak in order to better understand its epidemic factors and to inform control strategies.MethodsData for clinically diagnosed and laboratory-confirmed dengue fever cases in 2014 were extracted from the China Notifiable Infectious Disease Reporting System. We analyzed the incidence and characteristics of imported and indigenous cases in terms of population, temporal and spatial distributions.ResultsA total of 45 224 dengue fever cases and 6 deaths were notified in Guangdong Province in 2014, with an incidence of 47.3 per 100 000 people. The elderly (65+ years) represented 11.7 % of total indigenous cases with the highest incidence (72.3 per 100 000). Household workers and the unemployed accounted for 23.1 % of indigenous cases. The majority of indigenous cases occurred in the 37th to 44th week of 2014 (September and October) and almost all (20 of 21) prefecture-level cities in Guangdong were affected. Compared to the non-Pearl River Delta Region, the Pearl River Delta Region accounted for the majority of dengue cases and reported cases earlier in 2014. Dengue virus serotypes 1 (DENV-1), 2 (DENV-2) and 3 (DENV-3) were detected and DENV-1 was predominant (88.4 %).ConclusionsDengue fever is a serious public health problem and is emerging as a continuous threat in Guangdong Province. There is an urgent need to enhance dengue surveillance and control, especially for the high-risk populations in high-risk areas.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s40249-016-0131-z) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

The Coupling Relationship between Information Technology Level and Public Transportation: A Case Study of Cities in Guangdong

During the rapid development of information technology, the global widespread information wave has come. Exploring the intelligent information technology on the mechanism of the urban space helps to drive targeted policy-making about city planning. In this paper, taking cities in Guangdong as samples , we firstly discuss about the relationship between the level of information technology and personal travel. Primarily, analysis the fitting relationship between information flow and public traffic flow of the 21 cities at a certain time. Secondly, investigate how information technology influences the residents’ travel at the micro level by means of questionnaire surveys. The study shows that internet information has a significant promoting effect on the residents’ travel of general cities, but a substitution effect in a few large cities which has highly developed service sector.

An Empirical Analysis on Guangdong’s FDI, Energy Intensity and Industrialization

Energy is the base of modern industrial economy. Basing on the data of cities and industries in Guangdong from 2000 to 2013, this paper analyzes the relationship of energy intensity, FDI and industrialization by regression model. The results show that the industrialization levels of the cities in Guangdong are in accordance with their energy consumption and economic conditions, and Guangdong should focus on the development of “win-win” industries which both increasing industrial output and reducing energy efficiency.

Health-Related Quality of Life and Its Correlates among Chinese Migrants in Small- and Medium-Sized Enterprises in Two Cities of Guangdong

ObjectivesTo explore the relationship between health-related quality of life (HRQOL) status and associated factors among rural-to-urban migrants in China.MethodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted with 856 rural-to-urban migrants working at small- and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) in Shenzhen and Zhongshan City in 2012. Andersen's behavioral model was used as a theoretical framework to exam the relationships among factors affecting HRQOL. Analysis was performed using structural equation modeling (SEM).ResultsWorkers with statutory working hours, higher wages and less migrant experience had higher HRQOL scores. Need (contracting a disease in the past two weeks and perception of needing health service) had the greatest total effect on HRQOL (β = −0.78), followed by enabling (labor contract, insurance purchase, income, physical examination during work and training) (β = 0.40), predisposing (age, family separation, education) (β = 0.22) and health practices and use of health service (physical exercise weekly, health check-up and use of protective equipments) (β = −0.20).ConclusionsPriority should be given to satisfy the needs of migrant workers, and improve the enabling resources.

Large Daily Stock Variation Is Associated with Cardiovascular Mortality in Two Cities of Guangdong, China

ObjectiveThe current study aimed to examine the effects of daily change of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange Index on cardiovascular mortality in Guangzhou and Taishan, China.MethodsDaily mortality and stock performance data during 2006–2010 were collected to construct the time series for the two cities. A distributed lag non-linear model was utilized to examine the effect of daily stock index changes on cardiovascular mortality after controlling for potential confounding factors.ResultsWe observed a delayed non-linear effect of the stock index change on cardiovascular mortality: both rising and declining of the stock index were associated with increased cardiovascular deaths. In Guangzhou, the 15–25 lag days cumulative relative risk of an 800 index drop was 2.08 (95% CI: 1.38–3.14), and 2.38 (95% CI: 1.31–4.31) for an 800 stock index increase on the cardiovascular mortality, respectively. In Taishan, the cumulative relative risk over 15–25 days lag was 1.65 (95% CI: 1.13–2.42) for an 800 index drop and 2.08 (95% CI: 1.26–3.42) for an 800 index rising, respectively.ConclusionsLarge ups and downs in daily stock index might be important predictor of cardiovascular mortality.

Brucellosis in Guangdong Province, People’s Republic of China, 2005–2010

To the Editor: Brucellosis is one of the most prevalent zoonotic diseases in the world. It is principally an animal disease, but globally, >500,000 human cases are reported each year (1). Transmission to humans occurs primarily through contact with infected animals and consumption of contaminated food (2,3). Persons with occupational exposure are at highest risk for brucellosis, in particular those performing husbandry activities, butchering, and livestock trading (4,5). Although brucellosis has been eradicated from many industrialized countries, new foci of disease continually appear, particularly in parts of Asia (6–8). In China, 160,214 brucellosis cases were reported during 2005–2010; 90% of them occurred in 6 northern agricultural provinces: Neimenggu, Shanxi, Heilongjiang, Hebei, Jilin, and Shaanxi. Livestock, such as goats, cattle, and pigs, are the main infectious source. However, factors such as the rapid movement of people from northern to southern China, increased livestock trading, and lack of livestock quarantine mean that infected livestock or their products readily traverse provincial borders and transmit disease to persons who have no direct contact with livestock. With an illness rate of 400). The male:female ratio among these patients was 66:46. The age ranges were similar by sex; male patients were 18–71 (median 47) years of age, and female patients were 20–70 (median 43) years of age. The first 3 cases of brucellosis in 2005 were reported in Shenzhen in Guangdong Province. One case was culture confirmed by clinical laboratory, and the isolate was identified as Brucella melitensis biovar 3 by SAT and phage biotyping. The other 2 cases were in dairy farm workers; their infections were laboratory confirmed by SAT but could not be identified by biovar. Since 2005, more cities in Guangdong have reported brucellosis cases (Figure, Appendix). The Pearl River Delta region reported 100 cases: 48 in Guangzhou, 27 in Shenzhen, 7 in Zhongshan, 6 in Foshan, 6 in Jiangmen, 4 in Zhuhai, and 2 in Dongguan. Only 12 cases were reported from undeveloped rural areas in Guangdong: 5 in Zhaoqing, 2 in Yangjiang, and 1 each in Huizhou, Qingyuan, Meizhou, Maoming, and Yunfu. Figure Reported cases of brucellosis, by city, Guandong Province, China, 2005–2010. A total of 42 Brucella isolates were cultured during 2005–2009, and all were identified as B. melitensis biovar 3. However, of 19 Brucella isolates cultured during 2010, a total of 13 were identified as B. melitensis biovar 3, 4 as B. melitensis biovar 1, and 2 as B. suis biovar 3. These results indicate a shift in species and biovar for Brucella spp. circulating in China. We conducted a retrospective epidemiologic investigation of the 112 brucellosis cases reported during 2005–2010 to identify the vehicles and sources of infection. Among the cases identified, 33 (29.46%) patients had occupational exposure history: 13 were pig or goat butchers, 12 dairy farmers, 5 animal market workers in charge of leading the animals to and from transportation, and 3 mutton and pork sellers in wet markets. The remaining 79 (70.54%) cases were in patients who denied having contact with living animals. Among these patients were retired persons, housekeeping matrons, teachers, doctors, white collar workers, and the unemployed. However, 17 of these patients recalled having purchased or handled goat placenta to be prepared for home consumption or having eaten goat products through barbequing or hot pot. The other 62 could not remember if they had contacted with livestock or their products. These findings indicate that nonoccupational exposure may pose a risk for brucellosis infection among persons who handle fresh meat and meat products for home cooking. In conclusion, Guangdong Province has become an emerging foci for brucellosis in China. The species and biovars of Brucella spp. circulating in this region are changing, and many persons are infected by nonoccupational exposure. Measures need to be taken by central and provincial governments to address these issues and prevent epidemics of brucellosis in humans.

A Chinese perspective on the content and structure of destructive leadership

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the fundamental content and structure of destructive leadership within the Chinese cultural context, through surveys of employees in Chinese organizations.Design/methodology/approachMethodologies such as documentary analysis, interview and survey were used in the study, and surveys were conducted on over 1,300 employees from Beijing, Shanghai and other cities in Guangdong and Zhejiang provinces. Then the content and structure of destructive leadership perceived by Chinese employees were examined using multiple statistical techniques including EFA (exploratory factor analysis) and CFA (confirmatory factor analysis).FindingsThe results of the survey showed that destructive leadership in Chinese organizations consists of four factors: corruption, excoriation of subordinates, abuse of subordinates and the loss of professional morality. The authors then compared the structure with relevant Western research findings and revealed their similarities and differences.Practical implicationsThe structure of Chinese destructive leadership not only reflects the characteristics of Chinese culture, but also reflects the characteristics of current Chinese organizational management, which have practical implications for identifying management problems in Chinese organizations and improving workplace leadership behavior.Originality/valueThis is the first paper of its kind in mainland China to empirically explore the theoretical model of destructive leadership within the context of Chinese culture, which will facilitate future research by offering a theoretical basis and research instrument.

Prevalence and Genotype Distribution of Human Papillomavirus Infections in Women Attending Hospitals in Chaozhou of Guangdong Province

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the main cause of cervical cancer. Limited epidemiologic data of HPV prevalence are available for women attending hospitals in southern China. This study aimed to evaluate the profiles of HPV infection and cytology status in gynecological outpatients in Chaozhou City. A total of 2833 eligible women were enrolled. The HPV GenoArray test was used for HPV detection and genotyping. Nearly one half of the HPV positive women received liquid-based cytology test. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the predictable effects of age and genotype for categories of abnormal cytology. The prevalence of overall, high-risk, and low-risk HPV infection were 24.5%, 19.5% and 8.4%, respectively. A U-shaped age-specific prevalence curve was observed in overall HPV and high- risk HPV, but not in low-risk HPV, which declined with age increasing. The 6 most common high-risk HPV type in descending order, were types 52, 16, 58, 18, 68, and 33. Age and HPV genotype were both important determinants of abnormal cytology incidence, the older women (>45 years) and those infected with HPV type 16 and/or 18 having the highest risk for abnormal cytology. Our findings support the hypothesis that second-generation HPV prophylactic vaccines including HPV-52 and -58 may offer higher protection for women residing in Chaozhou and neighboring cities in Guangdong.

Ekonomiczne i technologiczne strefy rozwoju Chin (kwantyfikacja, stratyfikacja, metodyka)

As a result of the new economic policy, fourteen Economic and Technological Development Zones (ETDZs) were established in twelve coastal cities between 1984 and 1988. The first ETDZs were Dalian, Yantai, Qingdao, Lianyungang, Nantong, Minhang (Shanghai), Hongqiao (Shanghai), Caohejing (Shanghai), Ningbo, Fuzhou, Guangzhou and Zhanjiang. Unlike Special Economic Zone (SEZ), an ETDZ is located in the suburban area of a major city. Special policies are adopted within the ETDZ. An administrative committee, normally selected by the local government, oversees economic and social management in the zones on behalf of the local government. The category ‘SEZ’ covers a broad range of more specific zone types, including Free Trade Zones (FTZ), Export Processing Zones (EPZ), Free Zones (FZ), Industrial Estates (IE), Free Ports, Urban Enterprise Zones and others. The second wave of expansion of ETDZs was led by the establishment of Pudong New District in Shanghai in 1990. This decision was aimed at elevating the status of Shanghai, making it the “Dragon Head” of the Yangtze River Delta Region, which comprises of Shanghai and parts of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Prior to the establishment of this new district, the Pearl River Delta Region – comprising nine cities in Guangdong – was the forerunner of China’s open door policy. However, unlike Guangdong, which lies at the south-eastern coast of China, Shanghai’s economic development will have more impact on China’s vast hinterland. Between 1992 and 1993, a total of eighteen state-level ETDZs were established – Yingkou, Changchun, Shenyang, Harbin, Weihai, Kunshan, Hangzhou, Xiaoshan, Wenzhou, Rongqiao, Dongshan, Guangzhou Nansha, Huizhou Daya Bay, Wuhu, Wuhan, Chongqing, Beijing and Urumchi. Two special projects were added later. Founded in 1993, the Ningbo Daxie Development Zone is an investment by China International Trust and Investment Corporation (CITIC), and comes under its management. The other special project is the Suzhou Industrial Park, which was founded in 1994, and is a joint cooperation between the governments of China and Singapore. After 2000, in an effort to fuel the development of the Central and Western regions, the central government also endorsed the establishment of a further eleven national ETDZs in inland regions. Up till now, China has a total of fifty-four state-level ETDZs – thirty-two in coastal regions, and twenty-two in the hinterland. The region of Hong Kong has a role and status of innovation. The planners in this unique part of East Asia expect that some new concepts can help the former British colony to embrace a new economic model: a model in which design, marketing and branding play the crucial role in economy.

Risk Assessment of Land-Falling Tropical Cyclones in Guangdong Province, China

ABSTRACT First, this article provides how tropical cyclones (TCs) have affected the Guangdong Province of China. Second, this article describes the extent of damage in Guangdong. The analysis demonstrates that those areas of Guangdong most vulnerable to TC-associated risks today are the same areas where TCs make frequent landfall. Then, we suggest a definition of TC risk. Employing the soft histogram method, we assess the risk of land-falling due to TCs in the province, where only small samples are available. Any risk assessment from the data must be imprecise. The advantage of this suggested model is that it can deal with fuzzy information carried by a small sample. Heavy rainfall and high wind are considered in assessing TC-associated risks. Three cases of TC-associated risks in the province are provided, including 50 mm 17 m/s, 100 mm 17 m/s, and 100 mm 24 m/s. The result indicates that different cities in Guangdong are exposed to different degrees of risk, with the highest risk located along the western, central, and eastern coast.

基于光电二极管探测器的闪电光辐射信号观测

The lightning optical signals were measured by a silicon photodiode detector(PDD) at Conghua city Guangdong province and Changping district Beijing city in summer, 2008. Totally, 12 observed data were analyzed statistically. The maximum optical peak magnitude is ［10.97(5.55)±12.46］ mW/cm2, the 10%-90% pulse rise time is 1.14(0.44)±2.02 ms, the 50%-50% pulse-width is ［1.44(0.49)±2.07］ ms and the single lightning optical peak count is 3.78(3.00)±2.30. The radiance peak is one to two orders of magnitude more and the pulse-width is broader, compared with the FORTE’s PDD data. These results are reasonable according to the lightning radiance mechanism and physical evolution process.

Tropical cyclone strikes at the coastal cities of China from 1949 to 2008

The spatiotemporal features of tropical cyclone strikes from 1949 to 2008 at 49 coastal cities of China are investigated in this study. The cities in Hainan, Guangdong, and Taiwan have high strike frequencies, with the severest and most frequent average strikes found in Taiwan. In Hainan, strike clusters appear in the mid-1950s, the early 1960s and 1970s, and the late 1980s, with relative inactive frequencies from the mid-1990s to 2008, and the clusters of strikes in Guangdong are found during the 1970s. In Taiwan, the most active strikes are found during the period 1956–1963. The return periods for all typhoons are either 1 or 2 years at the coastal cities of Taiwan in contrast to 2–5 and 4–8 years at the cities of Guangdong and Fujian, respectively. Super typhoons affect Taiwan with a frequency of once every 12–30 years on average. A tropical cyclone hazard index is also created to investigate the vulnerability at these cities.

Shenzhen, zona económica especial: bisagra de la apertura económica y el desarrollo regional chino

En este trabajo se analiza el fenómeno reciente de las zonas económicas especiales (ZEE) en el mundo. Se presenta el caso de Shenzhen, ciudad de Guangdong, República Popular China (RPC), porque aquí se ha logrado el resultado más exitoso de la estrategia de reforma económica neoinstitucional y de apertura externa de ese país en las últimas tres décadas. Tal resultado indica la articulación de una estrategia gradual y de largo plazo, que le ha permitido a China una inserción internacional exitosa. En contraparte, se estudia el caso de México, nación que ha impulsado un tipo de reforma económica y apertura externa sin los resultados económicos y regionales esperados, por lo que se concluye sobre la necesidad de conocer el caso de dicha ZEE si es que se opta por una estrategia similar a la china.
