Objective To determine the risk factors of gallstones. Methods A case-control study was conducted on 4087 patients with gallstones (the study group) and 20435 individuals without gallstones (the control group) at the Health Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) between January 2007 to May 2010. Using age and sex, the study and the control groups were matched in 1 : 5 ratio. Data were statistically analyzed using Chi-square test and conditional logistic regression.Results Univariate analysis showed significant differences in diabetic mellitus (DM), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastalic blood pressure (DBP), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-CH) and body mass index (BMI) between the study and the control groups (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis confirmed that DM, SBP, HDL-CH and BMI were associated with gallstones, and their adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval) were 0. 825 (0. 736 ~0. 925), 0. 908 (0. 828~0. 996), 1. 211 (1. 056~1. 389) and 0. 746 (0. 691~0. 805), respectively.The incidences of total cholesterol (TCH) and low deasity dipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-CH) were not significantly different between the two groups (P>0.05). ConclusionsDM、SBP、HDL-CH and BMI were found to be the risk factors for gallstones. To prevent gallstones, weight reduction, blood pressure control and normalization of blood lipid are important measures.

Objective To summarize the clinical and pathological characteristics of primary gallbladder carcinoma, analyze factors such as surgical procedures, tumor stages that associated with prognosis, and standardize the diagnosis and treatment strategy for primary gallbladder carcinoma.Methods From January 1986 to October 2009, 197 patients of primary gallbladder carcinoma were treated in Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH). A retrospective study was performed basing on clinical data of these patients, statistical analysis carried out using SPSS version 13.0, Kaplan-Meier estimate employed for the survival analysis and Log-rank test for the group comparisons. Results One hundred and ninety-seven patients were enrolled (73 male and 124 female) with the mean age of 64.4±1.1years. Abdominal pain (77.3%) , obstructive jaundice (33.6%) and fever (19.5%) were the main symptoms of primary gallbladder carcinoma, with accompanying cholecystolithiasis in 99 cases. B-mode ultrasonic examination and CT scan were important for preoperative diagnosis. Nevin stages and surgical modalities were independent prognosis factors. For stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ patients the survival terms were not different between those receiving radical cholecystectomy and simple cholecystectomy. However, for stage Ⅲ, Ⅳ and Ⅴ patients the survival terms were of statistically different between those in radical cholecystectomy group and simple cholecystectomy group. Conclusions For stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ patients, simple cholecystectomy is a good surgical procedure. For those at more advanced stages, radical cholecystectomy is the choice of therapy, while simple cholecystectomy also improves the prognosis compared with laparotomy only.
