Objective To explore the correlation between the level of serum uric acid and metabolic syndrome and associated factors including overweight,abnormality of blood glucose,blood lipid,and hypertension.Methods 654 cases of complete medical records,aging from 30-90with median age of 65 ,were completed were selected,Data base was established by using Excell software,meanwhile,single factor analysis and stepwise regression analysis were performed using SPSS 11.0 software package.Results The levels of serum uric acid of patients with overweight,high fasting blood glucose (FBG),hypertriglyceride (TG),high-density lipid cholesterol (HDL-C)and essential hypertension (EH)were higher than that of patients without overweight,normal fasting blood glucose,normal triglyceride,low high-density lipid cholesterol and without hypertension,respectively [respectively,(270.52 ±81.63 )μmol/L vs.(226.61 ± 67.42)μmol/L,t=-7.387,P=0.000;(265.71±73.50)μmol/Lvs.(235.03 ±75.00)μmol/L,t=-4.459,P=0.000;(262.80 ±74.45 )μmol/L vs.( 235.82±75.04)μmol/L,t=-3.927,P=0.000;(243.97 ±76.33)μmol/L vs.(212.78±57.60)μmol/L,t=-2.412,P=0.016;(282.87±64.79)μmol/L vs.( 180.22±41.60)μmol/L,t=22.59,P=0.000 ].The patients with metabolic syndrome (n=107)and the patients without metabolic syndrome (n=547)were included in our study.The level of serum uric acid of patients with metabolic syndrome was higher than that of patients without metabolic syndrome [(301.22±68.55 )μmol/L vs.(230.72±71.63)μmol/L,t=9.376,P=0.000].Stepwise regression analysis showed that there was positive correlation between systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic blood pressure (DBP),the body mass index (BMI),triglyceride (TG),high-density lipid cholesterol (HDL-C),fasting blood glucose (FBG)and the level of serum uric acid,respectively (t=3.409,13.401,6.979,2.943,3.514,4.706 respectively;P=0.000,0.001,0.000,0.003,0.000,0.000 respectively).Conclusion The level of serum uric acid in patients with metabolic syndrome is higher than those without metabolic syndrome.There is positive correlation between the level of serum uric acid and associated factors of metabolic syndrome including overweight,abnormality of blood glucose and blood lipid,and hypertension.

Objective:To explore the incidence and factors of the influence of preoperative related factors on postoperative orthopedic evaluation, through the evaluation of thoracic shape orthopedic evaluation of children pectus excavatum, during plate implantation after Nuss procedure.Methods:From April 2012 to April 2019, the clinical data were analyzed retrospectively for 159 hospitalized cases of Nuss procedure for pectus excavatum in Xi’an Children’s Hospital.The mean age was(6.8±3.4) years old(3.2-17.0 years old); males 124, females 35; Haller index 4.0±1.0(2.7-7.5); 6 cases(4%) were poor orthopedic evaluation with the thoracic shape, males 5, femal 1; 23 cases (14%) were average satisfied with the thoracic shape, males 16, femals 7; 130 cases (82%)were good orthopedic evaluation with the thoracic, males 103, femals 27. Follow-ups were conducted for at least 2 years, Retrospective analysis of the relationship between postoperative thoracic satisfaction and age, gender, Haller index, how the plates were placed during surgery and symmetry of funnel chest, t test and χ2 test were used for statistical analysis. Results:There were statistically significant differences between thoracic orthopedic evaluation after postoperative and classification of pectus excavatum ( P=0.001), and poor orthopedic evaluation after asymmetric pectus excavatum operationand ; There were no significant differences in gender, Haller index, surgical method and how the plates were placed during surgery( P>0.05). However, it can be seen from the mean and percentage that with the decrease of age, and the increase of Haller index, the orthopedic evaluation gradually becomes worse. Conclusion:According to our single-center study, asymmetric pectus excavatum is a factor for poor orthopedic evaluation during plate implantation after Nuss, especially for young children and children with larger Haller index.

Objective:To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and current status of surgical management for esophageal cancer in China.Methods:A national database was setup through a network platform. The clinical data of esophageal cancer treated by surgery was collected from 70 major hospitals in China between January 2009 and December 2014.Results:Complete data of 8 181 cases of esophageal cancer patients who underwent surgery were recorded in the database and recruited in the analysis. Among them, 6 052 cases were male and 2 129 were female, the average age was 60.5 years.The epidemiological investigation results showed that 148 cases (1.8%) had history of psychological trauma, 7 527 cases (92.0%) were lower social economic status, 5 072 cases (62.0%) were short of fresh vegetables and fruits, 6 544 cases (80.0%) ate rough food frequently, 3 722 cases (45.5%) drank untreated water directly from lake or river or shallow well, 3 436 cases (42.0%) had a unhealthy eating habit, including habits of eating food fast (507 cases, 6.2%), eating hot food or drinking hot tea/soup (998 cases, 12.2%), eating fried food (1 939 cases, 23.7%), 4 410 cases (53.9%) had the habits of smoking cigarettes and 2 822 cases (34.5%) drank white wine frequently.The pathological results showed that 7 813 cases (95.5%) were squamous cell carcinoma, 267 cases were adenocarcinoma (3.3%), 25 cases were adenosquamous cell carcinoma (0.3%) and 50 cases were small cell carcinoma (0.6%). A total of 1 800 cases (22.0%) received preoperative neoadjuvant therapy due to locally advanced disease or difficulty of resection. The esophagectomies were performed through left thoracotomy approach in 5 870 cases (71.8%), through right chest approach in 2 215 cases (27.1%), and the remain 96 cases (1.2%) received surgery though other approaches.A total of 8 001 cases (97.8%) underwent radical resection, the other 180 cases (2.2%) received palliative resection. The 30-day postoperative mortality rate was 0.5%, the overall ≥ grade Ⅱ postoperative complication rate was 11.6% (951 cases). The 1-yr, 3-yr, and 5-yr overall actual survival rates were 82.6%, 61.6%, and 52.9%, respectively.Conclusions:The data analysis of the national database for esophageal cancer shows that bad eating habits or eating rough food without enough nutrients, lower social and economic status, drinking white wine and smoking cigarettes frequently may be correlated with tumorigenesis of esophageal cancer. However, strong evidences produced by prospective observation studies are needed. Overall, the long-term survival of esophageal cancer patients has been improved gradually due to the application of advanced surgical techniques and reasonable multimodality treatment.
