Chinese Medical Journal 2014;127 Supplement 2 1 Report on Cardiovascular Diseases in China 2012 Outline of report on cardiovascular diseases in China Writing Committee of Annual Report on Cardiorasoular Diseases in China he prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is Chinese die of CVDs each day, i.e. 400 deaths per hour and Tassociated with the socioeconomic prosperity, lifestyle 1 death every 10 seconds. changes, accelerated process of ageing and urbanization. The prevalence of CVDs is continuously increasing in Continuous increase of cardiovascular risk China and will remain an upward trend in the next 10 factors years. CVDs are the leading cause of death for Chinese in both urban and rural area. Nowadays, 41.09% of deaths in Hypertension rural area and 41.52% of deaths in urban area are caused by Hypertension is the primary risk factor for stroke and CVDs in China. The burden of CVDs remains heavy and coronary heart disease. More than half of CVDs are has become an important public health problem. Effective associated with hypertension in China. strategies should be enforced urgently for the prevention of CVDs under the supervision of the government. In 2012, Hypertension prevalence the Ministry of Health of China and 14 governmental The prevalence of hypertension in adults aged >18 year departments jointly issued the Work Plan for Chronic was 18.8% according to a National Survey in 2002, and Disease Prevention and Control in China (2012−2015), a increased to approximately 25% in recent years according guideline for the prevention of chronic diseases, especially to the reports from various provinces or municipalities. CVDs in China. In some areas in northern China, the prevalence was as high as 30%. It is estimated that 266 million Chinese are Authorized by the Bureau of Disease Prevention and hypertensive, indicating that 2−3 of 10 adults are afflicted National Health and Family Planning Commission of with hypertension. The prevalence of hypertension in China, National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases both males and females increased from 1979 to 2002. (NCCD) of China organizes the experts of cardiology, The difference in hypertension prevalence between rural neurology, nephrology, diabetes, epidemiology, community residents and urban residents is not obvious. It was 19.3% health, health economics and biostatistics and other related in urban residents and 18.6% in rural residents in 2002. fields to compile the annual report on CVDs in China. Seven reports have been published since 2005, which are Hypertension incidence authoritative documents for the CVDs prevention and An eight-year follow-up study among 10 525 people aged control in China and frequently used by relevant leaders, >40 years indicated that the estimated annual incidence of experts and researchers. hypertension was 3% in China. This paper summarizes the main contents of the Report on High-normal blood pressure Cardiovascular Diseases in China, 2012: According to a survey in 2002, the prevalence of high normal blood pressure in adults aged >18 years was 34% Prevalence of cardiovascular diseases in China. There were 300 million people with high-normal blood pressure. Compared with normotensives, the risk of In general, the prevalence of CVDs (including heart hypertension and CVDs in people with high normal blood disease and cerebrovascular disease) is continuously pressure increased by 3.2 and 1.74, respectively. Half increasing in China. It is estimated that the number of of people with high-normal blood pressure will develop patients with CVDs is 290 million, in which 266 million hypertension in 10 years. have hypertension, more than 7 million are attacked by stroke, 2.5 million have myocardial infarction (MI), 4.5 Rate of awareness, treatment and control of hypertension million have cardiac failure, 5 million have pulmonary According to a National Survey in 2002, the awareness, heart disease, 2.5 million have rheumatic heart disease, and treatment and control rates of hypertension in China were 2 million have congenital heart disease. One of 5 adults is 30.6%, 24.7% and 6.1% respectively. The rate of blood afflicted by CVDs. pressure control reached 25% by treatment for hypertensive patients. The rates of awareness, treatment and control Mortality of CVDs of hypertension were lower in rural area than those in urban area, and the differences among different areas It is estimated that 3.5 million patients die of CVDs every were statistical significant. At the out-patient departments year, which accounts for 41% of all deaths. Averagely 9 590 of cardiology, nephrology and endocrinology in tertiary 2 Chin Med J 2014;127 Supplement 2 hospitals, the rate of blood pressure control was only 30.6% (HDL-C <1.04 mmol/L). It is estimated that dyslipidemia in hypertensive patients aged >18 years. affects at least 250 million people in China. The major risk factors of hypertension are high-salt diet, According to a survey conducted in 31 provinces and overweight/obesity, excessive consumption of alcohol, municipalities in 2002, the awareness rate of dyslipidemia physical inactivity and chronic stress, etc. (TC ≥5.72 mmol/L, and/or TG≥1.70 mmol/L, and/or HDL-C <0.91 mmol/L) in adults was only 3.2% (3.4% in Prevalence of hypertension in adolescents males and 2.7% in females).

  • Analysis of Influencing Factors of Supporting Effect for Pile-Anchor in Soft Soil Foundation
    Analysis of Influencing Factors of Supporting Effect for Pile-Anchor in Soft Soil Foundation Shao Yong, Zhu Jin-Jun, Liu Xiao-Li Department of Architectural Engineering, Lianyungang Technical College, 774Lianyungang, China, 22006. e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT In order to analyze the applicability of the pile-anchor retaining structure in soft soil foundation, combined with some examples of foundation pit engineering in Lianyungang area, the deformation characteristics of pile-anchor was analyzed and think anchorage angle has a greater impact on supporting effect, so the numerical model was established to calculate the influence of different anchorage angle to pit’s deformation, the results show: there is a different from rock slope anchorage, foundation pit of soft ground has not the optimal anchorage angle, but anchorage angle is bigger, the better. In addition, the foundation pit in soft soil, the pile-anchor structure is prone to rotate, which exacerbated the deformation of the soil. This kind of phenomenon will be intensified, when the anchorage Angle is larger, when the anchorage angle reaches a certain value, the pile bottom even has a reverse displacement. KEYWORDS: Marine clay; Pile-anchor structure; Anchorage angle; Deformation characteristics; Infiltration phenomenon INTRODUCTION In the supporting of soft soil foundation, due to the engineering properties of soft soil, its supporting structure usually use double piles, diaphragm wall, the inner support and other forms[1-5], in general, pile-anchor structure is used less, but due to the pile-anchor structure has good technical economic conditions in some projects, in some excavation, it has also been applied. But in the soft soil foundation in soft soil due to poor engineering properties, application of pile - anchor supporting structure should pay more attention[6-9].

Cindy Fan, Chair Through a mixed qualitative approach, this dissertation injects politics into an otherwise apolitical discussion of the largest water management project in human history, China’s South-North Water Transfer Project (SNWTP). The SNWTP, which transfers water from south-central China to the country’s political and economic heart on the North China Plain (NCP), is being pursued as a means to transforming water management into a space in which the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) can assert its power, rather than a space in which that power may be undermined. I demonstrate how the SNWTP is fundamentally underpinned by the CCP’s need to maintain continued economic growth in this critical water-stressed region, which serves as a key factor in its ability to maintain political legitimacy.
