Objective To analyze the relationship between blood glucose level, blood pressure and weight with pancreatic cancer genesis. Then to explore the metabolism associated risk factors in pancreatic cancer genesis. Methods Form December 2002 to September 2009 in Ruijin Hospital, 548 pancreatic cancers with pathology diagnosis after pancreatectomy were collected for the study with retrospective analysis method. The association of pancreatic cancer with blood glucose level, blood pressure, weight and other metabolic factors were analyzed. Results With principal component analysis, it suggested that there were strong correlation between blood glucose level, blood pressure and weight index (BMI) increasing with pancreatic cancer. The contribution rates were 3. 614%,25. 236%, 15. 418% and 12. 918%, respectively. Single factor analysis indicated that the association between pancreatic cancers and new onset diabetes mellitus (duration≤ 2 years) was stronger than that of long-term diabetes mellitus. The occurrence rate of pancreatic cancer in patients with long-term diabetes whose blood glucose level was not well controlled recently while well controlled previously (44.6 % ) was significant hister than that in patients without diabetes (5. 6% , P<0.05). The fasting blood glucose level of these PC patients ( 13.87± 3. 49 mmol/L) was significantly higher than new onset and other long-term diabetes patients, the comparative risk was 13.46 (95% CI 4. 560,39. 731). BMI increasing was a risk factor of pancreatic cancer, but there was no significant statistical difference between risk degree and BMI increasing level. All above metabolic diseases were risk factors of pancreatic cancer, but for pathology, location and stage of pancreatic cancer there was no statistical difference in theses factors. Conclusion This study suggested diabetes, BMI increasing and hypertension were high risk factors of pancreatic cancer genesis. New onset and long-term diabetes patients whose blood glucose not controlled well recently should be watched carefully for pancreatic cancer. Early treatment and intensive follow-up of metabolic disease might be helpful to early diagnosis and prognosis of pancreatic cancer.

Hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (HDP) involves two major public health issues: mother-infant safety and prevention and controlling major chronic disease. HDP poses a serious threat to maternal and neonatal safety, and it is one of the leading causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide, as well as an important risk factor for long-term cardiovascular disease (CVD). In order to explore effective strategies to prevent and control the source of CVD and reduce its risk, we have established a cohort of HDPs in Shenzhen for the primordial prevention of CVD. The construction of the HDP cohort has already achieved preliminary progress till now. A total of 2 239 HDP women have been recruited in the HDP cohort. We have established a cohort data management platform and Biobank. The follow-up and assessment of postpartum cardiovascular metabolic risk in this cohort has also been launched. Our efforts will help explore the pathophysiological mechanism of HDP, especially the pathogenesis and precision phenotyping, prediction, and prevention of pre-eclampsia, which, therefore, may reduce the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, and provide a bridge to linking HDP and maternal-neonatal cardiovascular, metabolic risk to promote the cardiovascular health of mothers and their infants.
