Objective: To explore independent risk factors of coronary artery calcification (CAC) and analyze correlation among risk factors of CAC and serum osteopontin (OPN) level. Methods: According to results of 64-slice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) coronary angiography, a total of 65 patients were continuously enrolled and divided into CAC group (n=37) and non-CAC control group (n=28). Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure serum level of OPN. Single factor and multiple factor Logistic regression analysis’s were used to analyze risk factors of CAC. Spearman’s straight line analysis was used to analyze correlation between risk factors of CAC and serum OPN. Results: 1、 The age, hypertension, diabetes, poor eating habits,lack of exercise, overweight, etc., which were independent risk factors of CAC (OR=3.47~12.96, P=0.018~0.003)by single factor Logistic regression analysis, were inducted to multiple factor Logistic regression analysis, its result showed that age, overweight, poor sleep quality, poor eating habits were independent risk factors of CAC, OR=35.31~5.17, P<0.01~0.05; 2、Serum level of OPN in CAC group was significant higher than that of non-CAC control group [(39.919±11.879) μg /L vs. (24.000±6.000) μg /L,P<0.01]; 3、The Spearman straight line correlation analysis indicated that serum level of OPN was correlated with risk factors of CAC : positively correlated with LDL-C, overweight, age, TC(r=0.487~0.286,P<0.001~<0.05), and positively correlated with poor sleep quality, diabetes, poor eating habits, lack of exercise(r=4.10~2.24, P<0.01~0.05); negatively correlated with HDL-C(r=-0.250,P<0.05). Conclusion: Correlation analysis indicates that age, overweight, poor sleep quality, poor eating habits etc. are independent risk factors of CAC;Serum OPN level is correlated with LDL-C, overweight,age, diabetes, lack of exercise etc., so these indicate that must decrease OPN level and risk factors of CAC to relieve CAC and slow down its development.

Objective To observe the incidence of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) in obese acute pancreatitis (AP) patients with medical treatment, and evaluate the impact of obesity in AP progression.Methods A multicenter prospective controlled study was conducted. APACHE Ⅱ scoring system was used to evaluate the severity of AP. Results 161 patients with mild AP(MAP) were enrolled, according to the cut-off point of 25 kg/m2, these patient were divided into obese group (79 patients) and non-obese group (82patients). The levels of CRP, hypertriacylglycerolemia, complication rate, incidence of SAP and mortality were observed under the circumstance of identical medical treatment. The levels of CRP in obese group and non-obese group were (117±109 ) mg/L and (35±36 ) mg/L(P<0.01). The number of obese patients with hypertriacylglycerolemia was two times as many as that in non-obese patients, but there was no significantly difference. There was no local complication in both groups, but the incidence of systematic complication in obese patients (20.3%) was significantly higher than that in non-obese group (6.1%, P<0.01). 16patients (20.3%) in obese group progressed into SAP, which was significantly higher than that in non-obese group (5 patients, 6.1%, P<0.01). One patient(1.3%) died in obese group, but no one died in non-obese group. In MAP patients with APACHE Ⅱ 4~7 points, the incidence of SAP (43.3%) in obese group was significantly higher than that in non-obese group (18.5%, P<0.05). Conclusions Obese MAP patients with APACHE Ⅱ 4~7 points were prone to develop into SAP. More aggressive interventions are needed.
