Objective To investigate the predictive value of cumulative body mass index (cumBMI) on new-onset cholelithiasis.Methods The retrospective cohort study was conducted.The data of 31 794 subjects who participated health examination at the Kailuan Hospital,Kailuan Linxi Hospital,Kailuan Zhaogezhuang Hospital,Kailuan Tangjiazhuang Hospital,Kailuan Fan'gezhuang Hospital,Kailuan Lyujiatuo Hospital,Kailuan Jinggezhuang Hospital,Kailuan Linnancang Hospital,Kailuan Qianjiaying Hospital,Kailuan Majiagou Hospital and Kailuan Branch Hospital in 2006,2008,2010,2012 and 2014 were collected.All the subjects were allocated into 4 groups according to squartiles of cumBMI:7 949 with cumBMI< 140.81 kg/m2 ×year in the Q1 group,7 946 with 140.81 kg/m2×year≤ cumBMI< 159.69 kg/m2 ×year in the Q2 group,7 949 with 159.69 kg/m2×year≤cumBMI< 180.49 kg/m2 ×year in the Q3 group and 7 950 with cumBMI ≥ 180.49 kg/m2×year in the Q4 group.All the subjects received respectively the five health examinations in 2006,2008,2010,2012 and 2014 at the same place.Epidemiological investigation,anthropometric parameters and biochemical indicators were collected.Observation indicators:(1) incidence of cholelithiasis in the 4 groups;(2) risk factors analysis affecting newonset cholelithiasis:sex,age,cumBMl,BMI,drinking,smoking,physical exercise,hypertension,diabetes,C-reactive protein (CRP),triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC).Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as-x±s and comparisons among groups were analyzed using the one-way ANOVA.Pairwise comparison and homogeneity of variance were done using the LSD test.Heterogeneity of variance was done using the Dunnett's T3 test.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (Q) and comparisons among groups were analyzed using the nonparametric test.Count data were analyzed by the chi-square test.The incidence of cholelithiasis in the 4 groups were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method and comparisons of incidence were done by the Log-rank test.The univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were done using the COX regression model.Results (1) Incidence of cholelithiasis in the 4 groups:31 794 subjects were observed for (2.1 ± 0.4) years,and 236 had new-onset cholelithiasis with an incidence of 7.42‰.Incidences of cholelithiasis in the Q1,Q2,Q3 and Q4 groups were respectively 4.03‰,7.17‰,7.93‰ and 10.57‰,with a statistically significant difference among the 4 groups (x2 =72.39,P<0.05).(2) Risk factors analysis affecting new-onset cholelithiasis:results of univariate analysis showed that sex,age,cumBMI,BMI,hypertension and CRP were independent risk factors affecting new-onset cholelithiasis of subjects [HR =1.61,1.75,1.64,1.36,1.39,1.39,95% confidence interval (CI):1.23-2.10,1.49-2.05,1.45-1.86,1.21-1.53,1.07-1.79,1.18-1.62,P<0.05].Results of multivariate analysis showed that female,age between 50 years and 60 years,age≥60 years,140.81 kg/m2×year ≤cumBMI <159.69 kg/m2×year,159.69 kg/m2×year≤cumBMI< 180.49 kg/m2 ×year,cumBMI ≥ 180.49 kg/m2 × year were independent risk factors affecting new-onset cholelithiasis of subjects (HR=1.59,1.78,2.33,2.04,2.42,3.66,95%CI:1.21-2.09,1.31-2.44,1.63-3.34,1.29-3.24,1.47-3.95,2.15-6.25,P<0.05).Conclusion Female,advanced age and increasing cumBMI are independent risk factors affecting new-onset cholelithiasis,and the incidence of cholelithiasis rises as cumBMI increases.

Objective:To compare the clinical curative effect of roxadustat and recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) on non-dialysis stage 3 to 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) combined with renal anemia (RA).Methods:A total of 108 patients with non-dialysis stage 3 to 5 CKD and RA admitted to Jiangbei Branch of Zhongda Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University were prospectively enrolled between January 2020 and October 2022. According to random number table method, they were divided into group A and group B, 54 cases in each group. The group A was treated with roxadustat and polysaccharide-iron complex (PIC) for 3 months, while group B was treated with rhEPO and PIC for 3 months. The clinical curative effect, levels of hemoglobin (Hb), red blood cell count (RBC), hematocrit (Hct), serum ferritin (SF), transferrin saturation (TSAT), transferrin (TRF), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr) and β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) before and after treatment, and the incidence of adverse reactions during treatment in the two groups were compared.Results:The total response rate of treatment in group A was significantly higher than that in group B: 87.04% (47/54) vs. 70.37% (38/54), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). After treatment, levels of RBC, Hb and Hct in group A were significantly higher than those in group B: (3.47 ± 0.59) × 10 12/L vs. (2.60 ± 0.51) × 10 12/L, (110.45 ± 12.97) g/L vs. (93.64 ± 10.58) g/L, 0.358 ± 0.054 vs. 0.303 ± 0.043, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The levels of TSAT, SF and TRF in group A were significantly higher than those in group B: (35.17 ± 3.65)% vs. (29.82 ± 3.10)%, (286.74 ± 17.23) μg/L vs. (243.16 ± 15.49) μg/L, (2.76 ± 0.45) g/L vs. (2.40 ± 0.32) g/L, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The levels of BUN, Scr and β2-MG in group A were significantly lower than those in group B: (3.98 ± 0.41) mmol/L vs. (4.36 ± 0.54) mmol/L, (62.57 ± 7.89) μmol/L vs. (80.34 ± 9.65) μmol/L, (1.50 ± 0.42) μg/L vs. (1.99 ± 0.58) μg/L, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). During treatment, incidence of adverse reactions in group A was significantly lower than that in group B: 11.11% (6/54) vs. 25.93% (14/54), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with rhEPO, roxadustat has better curative effect, which can effectively relieve anemia and improve iron metabolism in patients with non-dialysis stage 3 to 5 CKD and RA, with good safety.
