OBJECTIVETo determine the risk factors of urinary calculi in Shenzhen for proper interventions.
METHODSA population-based case-control study including 334 urinary calculi cases and 721 controls was carried out. A total number of 34 factors were analyzed using unconditional logistic regression.
RESULTSSeventeen factors were associated with urolithiasis based on the logistic regression analysis. Ten factors entered the last model of the logistic multivariate regression. The more protein consumption (OR = 2.14, 95% CI: 1.71 - 2.69), positive history of first relatives with urolithiasis (OR = 2.61, 95% CI: 1.70 - 4.01), longer outdoor exposure (OR = 1.39, 95% CI: 1.16 - 1.66) and chronic inflammation of urinary system (OR = 4.09, 95% CI: 1.38 - 12.14) were risk factors of urinary calculi. Higher education background (OR = 0.46, 95% CI: 0.29 - 0.73), drinking more water (OR = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.48 - 0.72), drinking more juice (OR = 0.41, 95% CI: 0.18 - 0.94), more milk and milk product consumption (OR = 0.82, 95% CI: 0.68 - 0.99), vegetable (OR = 0.70, 95% CI: 0.55 - 0.91) and fruit consumption (OR = 0.78, 95% CI: 0.64 - 0.94) were protective factors of urolithiasis.
CONCLUSIONDietary habits were the major influencing factors of urinary calculi. Positive history of family with urolithiasis and social-economic factors were also associated with the disease.

BACKGROUND:It has been studied that the distribution of bone morphogenetic protein 2 is regular under bone defect situation. OBJECTIVE:To observe the expression of bone morphogenetic protein 2 in rabbit radial defect site with different lengths. METHODS:Forty-eight New Zealand rabbits were divided into two groups randomly, 0.5 cm bone defect and 3.0 cm bone defect were made by wire saw at the middle part of radius bone after anaesthesia. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Western blot results showed that in the 0.5 cm bone defect group, the expression of bone morphogenetic protein 2 of the tissues in the bone defect site was increased gradual y at 1, 3, 4 weeks after operation, and the expression in each defect group was increased when compared with that immediately after injury (P<0.05). In the 3.0 cm bone defect group, the expression of bone morphogenetic protein 2 of tissues in bone defect site was increased gradual y and reached to its peak at 3 weeks after the operation (P<0.05), and the peak value in the 3.0 cm bone defect group was significantly higher than that in 0.5 cm bone defect group (P<0.05). The peak value was maintained in high level. The comparison of bone cal us formation showed that the bone cal us formation of 3.0 cm bone defect group was less than that of the 0.5 cm bone defect group at 3 and 4 weeks after operation (P<0.05). The results indicate that expression of the bone morphogenetic protein 2 in 3.0 cm bone defect site is increased significantly, but the expression level cannot make the bone defect heal itself.

OBJECTIVETo determine the incidence and risk factors for in-hospital stroke in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
METHODSTwo thousand one hundred and thirty-three patients with acute myocardial infarction were studied retrospectively. History, demographic, clinical, thrombolytic and anticoagulant data of AMI were obtained through review of the medical record. The relative risk of in-hospital stroke in patients with AMI was estimated using multiple nonconditional logistic regression to adjust for potential confounding factors.
RESULTSAmong 2,133 consecutive patients admitted with acute myocardial infarction to hospitals in Shandong and Hubei provinces, 98 (4.59%) experienced strokes during hospitalization. In our analysis, anterior infarction was the most important risk factor for in-hospital stroke (ischemic and hemorrhagic) in patients with AMI (RR = 7.04), followed by history of hypertension (RR = 3.41), previous stroke (RR = 1.69), atrial fibrillation (RR = 2.22), advanced age (RR = 1.04), and higher heart rate at enrollment (RR = 1.03).
CONCLUSIONSThe incidence of in-hospital stroke in patients with AMI increased with lower rate of using thrombolytic agents. Thrombolytic therapy was noticed as a protective factor for stroke after AMI. The risk factors for in-hospital stroke with AMI were history of hypertension, previous stroke, atrial fibrillation, advanced age, anterior infarction, and higher heart rate at enrollment.
