ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the construction effect of a national comprehensive prevention and control demonstration area for chronic diseases in a banner county in Inner Mongolia, and to provide a scientific basis for deepening the construction of the demonstration area and improving the formulation of chronic disease prevention and control strategies and measures. Methods Using the chronic disease nutrition monitoring data of residents aged 18 and over in a banner county in Inner Mongolia in 2015 and 2018, the prevalence, awareness, and management and treatment rates of the main chronic diseases of residents with different characteristics, as well as the changes in healthy behaviors and lifestyles were compared and analyzed. SPSS25.0 software was used for data analysis. The classification variables were mainly described by rate and composition ratio. The comparison of rates of various indicators between the two years was performed using 2 test. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze statistical correlation between the continuous construction of the demonstration area from 2015 to 2018 and the various indicators. The test level was α=0.05. Results In 2015 and 2018, 621 and 600 residents aged 18 and above were investigated respectively. The prevalence of diabetes (8.17%) and the prevalence of dyslipidemia (28.13%) of residents in the demonstration area in 2018 were lower than those in the demonstration area in 2015 (12.08% and54.91%, respectively), and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). In 2018, the diabetes awareness rate (71.43%), diabetes treatment rate (71.43%), diabetes management rate (38.78%), and dyslipidemia awareness rate (51.50%) of residents in the demonstration area were higher than those in the demonstration area in 2015 (42.67%, 42.67%, 13.33%, and 31.09%, respectively), and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). In 2018, the current smoking rate (20.83%) of residents in the demonstration area, the drinking rate within one year (31.67%), insufficient intake of fresh vegetables (51.00%), and excessive intake of edible salt (47.83%) were all lower than those of residents in the demonstration area in 2015 (30.43%, 45.57%, 71.18%, and 78.42%, respectively), and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the continuous construction of the demonstration area was statistically correlated with dyslipidemia (OR=0.31, 95%CI: 0.24-0.39), diabetes awareness (OR=3.92, 95%CI: 1.68-9.12), diabetes treatment (OR=4.53, 95%CI:1.75-11.70), diabetes management (OR=5.82, 95%CI: 1.94-17.52), awareness of dyslipidemia (OR=1.57, 95%CI: 1.04-2.38), current smoking (OR=0.60, 95%CI:0.44-0.82), drinking within one year (OR=0.46, 95%CI: 0.35-0.61), and insufficient intake of fresh vegetables (OR=0.45, 95%CI: 0.35-0.58). Conclusion The construction of a national demonstration zone for comprehensive prevention and control of chronic diseases can significantly reduce the prevalence of major chronic diseases among residents in a banner county in Inner Mongolia, improve the self-management level of patients with chronic diseases, and promote the development of healthy behaviors and lifestyles.
ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the'backward'provinces and the relatively poor work among the construction of National Demonstration Area,so as to promote communication and future visions among different regions.Methods Methods on Cluster analysis were used to compare the development of National Demonstration Area in different provinces,including the coverage of National Demonstration Area and the scores of non-communicable disease (NCDs) prevention and control work based on a standardized indicating system.Results According to the results from the construction of National Demonstration Area,all the 29 provinces and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (except Tibet and Qinghai) were classified into 6 categories:Shanghai;Beijing,Zhejiang,Chongqing;Tianjin,Shandong,Guangdong and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps;Hebei,Fujian,Hubei,Jiangsu,Liaoning,Xinjiang,Hunan and Guangxi;Shanxi,Jilin,Henan,Hainan,Sichuan,Anhui and Jiangxi;Inner Mongolia,Shaanxi,Ningxia,Guizhou,Yunnan,Gansu and Heilongjiang.Based on the scores gathered from this study,24 items that representing the achievements from the NCDs prevention and control endeavor were classified into 4 categories:Manpower,special day on NCD,information materials development,policy/strategy support,financial support,mass media,enabled environment,community fitness campaign,health promotion for children and teenage,institutional structure and patient self-management;healthy diet,risk factors on NCDs surveillance,tobacco control and community diagnosis;intervention of high-risk groups,identification of high-risk groups,reporting system on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events,popularization of basic public health service,workplace intervention programs,construction of demonstration units and mortality surveillance;oral hygiene and tumor registration.Contents including oral hygiene,tumor registration,intervention on high-risk groups,identification of high-risk population,reporting system on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events,popularization of basic public health service,workplace intervention programs,construction of demonstration units and mortality surveillance were discerned as the relatively weak areas in the construction programs of National Demonstration Area.Conclusions Western regions,especially in some remote provinces had the poorest performance during the construction of National Demonstration Area.Programs regarding chronic disease surveillance,identification and intervention on high-risk groups showed the lowest scores and these outcome-oriented tasks should be further focused on,during the next term of review,in these areas.

ABSTRACT
Objective: The research is to provide the basis for effective protection and wise utilization of the plants resources inTea Mountain National Ecological Demonstration Area of Shandong Province. Methods: The general investigation on plant species inTea Mountain was conducted. The research scope covered plant species, their distribution in wild, community structure and flora.Results: A total of 352 higher plants, belonging to 250 genera and 90 families, were recorded. Four species were listed as nationalsecond-grade protected plants. Regional vegetation is Pinus thunbergii plantation and Secondary forest. The main forest vegetation isPinus thunbergii community. Pantropic types and N. Tem types are dominant types. The latitude and "the islands-effect" should be themajor-effect factor of this pattern. Because of intense artificial active disturbance, primary vegetation types in this region have sufferedserious destruction, especially the rare and precious plants that are at high risk of dying out. Conclusions: This regional communitystructure is simple. The shrub layer and the liana layer are undeveloped. The syngenesis time is short.
