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.
