Objective:To explore the clinical features of recurrence after choledocholithotomy and to analyze the risk factors.Methods:The clinical data of 730 patients with choledocholithiasis who were treated in our hospital from January 2005 to July 2016 were analyzed retrospectively,550 cases who were received choledocholithotomy were defined as laparotomy group,30 cases with laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) were defined as the LCBDE group,and 150 cases with endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) were defined as EST group.The recurrence rate of the three groups were compared.The patients of three groups were divided into recurrence group (n=227) and non recurrence group (n=503) according to the recurrent situation,then the clinical features and risk factors of recurrent patients were analyzed by univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis.Results:The recurrence rate of EST group was 38.67％,which was significantly higher than that of LCBDE group with 26.67％ and the laparotomy group with 29.27％,and there was statistical difference (P＜0.05).The results of univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in age,history of HBV infection,jaundice,abnormal total bilirubin,peripapillary diverticulum,biliary infection,biliary stricture,papillary stenosis,sphincter of Oddis dysfunction,history of biliary surgery,cholecystectomy,bile duct diameter ≥ 15 mm,bile duct angle ≤120°,operation type,stone quantity ≥ 2 grains,stone diameter ≥ 10 mm,with or without gallstones (P＜0.05).The results of Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that age,having peripapillary diverticulum,having history of biliary surgery,bile duct diameter ≥ 15 mm,stone quantity ≥ 2grains and EST operation type were the independent risk factors of the recurrence after choledocholithotomy (P＜0.05).Conclusion:There are many risk factors of recurrence after choledocholithotomy,and operation method should be based on the size and the number of the stones,and the constitution of patients.Preventive measures should be strengthened to control the recurrence after choledocholithotomy.

Large-scale cohort study has unique advantages in the field of etiology research for its large sample size a multi-time point data, but it also brings great difficulty in data management and quality control at the same time. Recently, China has initiated a number of large-scale population cohort studies, posing enormous challenges to the management and quality control of related cohort data. This paper summarizes the existing experience and consensus in the field of cohort study in China from the characteristics of the cohort data, aiming at the types and main forms of the four main sources of questionnaire data, clinical diagnosis and treatment data, biological sample detection data and observation outcome data, from the data storage, circulation and transmission work.The contents and methods of queue data management are comprehensively summarized. Corresponding data quality control strategies are advised in the questionnaire evaluation, data logic verification, survey object sampling and multi-database review, etc. The goal of this review is to provide guidance for the management of data and the formulation of quality control strategies in the cohort study in China.

Talent training is the core and foundation of public health system construction. Shortage of talents in the field of disease prevention and public health exposed by COVID-19 pandemic highlights the importance of developing preventive medical education. This article analyzes the challenges of medical education in the dilemma of "separation of medical treatment and prevention", and the new requirements for preventive medical education in the construction of New Medicine under the Healthy China strategy. Four aspects including stepping up the resource allocation and investment, educating responsible public health professionals, the education of all medical students who implement the core competence of public health, and the establishment of a continuing education system for preventive medicine have been considered. A series of specific suggestions are put forward including the establishment of a full-chain closed-loop research system to support the cultivation of top-notch innovative public health talents, strengthening the assessment of core public health capabilities for clinical medical professional admission, formulating a "medical and preventive integration" training program for primary health personnel, and implementing "combination of peace and war" public health personnel reserve system, with the purpose of providing reference for the reform and development of preventive medical education in China.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Large cohort studies on relationship between family history of stroke (FHS) and stroke risk are lacking in Asians. We aimed to systematically evaluate the association of FHS with stroke risk in a cohort study of 0.5 million Chinese adults. METHODS: Information about FHS was self-reported. The median follow-up time was 7.16 years and the end-point of follow-up was incident stroke, which was entered directly into the China Kadoorie Biobank system. Multivariate analyses were performed with Cox proportional hazards model, and interaction analyses were carried using likelihood-ratio tests. RESULTS: Compared with participants without FHS, the hazard ratio (HR) (95% confidence interval, CI) of stroke for participants with FHS was 1.50 (1.46-1.55). The HRs increased with the number of first degree relatives with stroke (HRs=1.41, 1.98 and 2.47 for 1, 2 and ≥3 relatives, respectively, P(trend) <0.001). The HRs were 1.57 (95% CI: 1.50-1.66) and 1.49 (95% CI: 1.45-1.54) for sibling history and parental history, respectively. Similar associations with offspring stroke risk were observed between paternal history (HR=1.48, 95% CI: 1.43-1.54) and maternal history (HR=1.49, 95% CI: 1.43-1.55). Moreover, significant interactions were detected between FHS and health-risk behaviors (tobacco smoking and alcohol drinking). CONCLUSIONS: FHS is an independent risk factor for stroke in Chinese. The more first degree relatives are affected by stroke, the higher are individuals’ risk of suffering from stroke. The management of the health-risk behaviors for reducing stroke should be highlighted, especially for the individuals with FHS.

Objective:To explore the association between polygenic risk score (PRS) and age at onset and early-onset risk of gastric cancer (GC).Methods:Gastric cancer cases from existing genome-wide association study were included, and 112 single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with GC risk were used to derive individual PRS. Analysis of variance and Pearson correlation test was used to depict the relationship between PRS and GC onset age. Cases diagnosed before 50 years old were defined as early-onset gastric cancer. Cox proportional hazard model was used to test the association between PRS and early-onset GC risk with early-onset age as the timescale and low genetic risk (PRS ≤20%) as the reference group.Results:A total of 8 629 cases, including 6 284 males (72.82%) and 2 345 females (27.18%), were included, and the mean age was (60.61±10.80) years old. The PRS was negatively correlated with age of GC onset ( r=-0.05, P<0.001). The mean age of gastric cancer cases with low, intermediate, and high genetic risk were (61.68±10.33), (60.53±10.79), (59.80±11.20), respectively. PRS was significantly associated with the risk of early-onset GC in a dose-response manner (intermediate genetic risk: HR=1.19, 95% CI: 1.03-1.39, P=0.022; high genetic risk: HR=1.44, 95% CI: 1.20-1.71, P<0.001). Conclusions:PRS may contribute to the risk of both GC and early-onset GC. PRS can be used as a measurable indicator for risk prediction for occurrence and early-onset of GC.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified thousands of genetic loci associated with complex diseases or traits. However, the exact biological functions of these loci are largely unknown. Recent functional annotation indicates that the majority of disease/trait associated loci are concentrated in regulatory DNA of human genome. Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analyses, chromosome conformation capture related methods and genome editing methods (such as CRISPR/Cas9) may facilitate the functional study of these loci. Research on noncoding RNAs and rare variants may improve the functional understanding. These efforts may promise translation of GWAS findings to clinical practices.

ObjectiveTo compare the effect of two analgesia methods in silver needle therapy among patients with myofascitis.Methods Totally 181 eligible patients with myofascitis were collected from January 2015 to March 2016 and were divided into observation group and control group by random number table. Patients in the control group (n=90) were given partial external lidocaine ointment and diclofenac sodium lidocaine hydrochloride intramuscular injection an hour before the treatment. Patients in the observation group (n=91) first received partial external lidocaine ointment an hour before the treatment,then received flurbiprofen axetil intravenous infusion and intravenous drip 15 minutes before the treatment. Visual analogue scale (VAS) was applied to evaluate the pain that before treatment,at the moment of acupuncture,during the treatment,at the moment of pulling out the needles,and a day after the treatment. Moreover,the clinical effect of two groups was also evaluated after a course of treatment.Results The VAS scores at the moment of acupuncture and during the treatment of the observation group were (7.71±0.80) and (6.71±1.17),while the data in the control group were (4.14±1.06) and (3.58±0.84) (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the VAS scores before treatment,after pulling out the needles,and a day after treatment,and the clinical effect between two groups (P>0.05).Conclusions Flurbiprofen axetil injection can effectively reduce the pain in silver needle therapy among patients with myofascitis and can also improve patients′ compliance.
