Objective To investigate the risk factors of adult urolithiasis in China. Methods 14 areas including 11 communities and 19 villages were randomly selected from 7 provinces of China by multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method during the period of May 2013 to July 2014. Individuals were investigated by a face-to-face questionnaire and a physical examination including urinary tract ultrasonographic examinations, routine blood and urine tests and blood biochemical examination ect. Results In total, 1 447 participants were found with the urolithiasis among 9 310 individuals and the overall prevalence was 15.5% (1 447/9 310). The prevalence of urolithiasis was significantly different among 14 areas ( 2=711.523,P<0.001), the lowest was the village in Shanxi (0.76%) and the highest was the village in Guangdong(35.99%). The intercept-only model further indicated the reginal aggregation for the individuals of urolithiasis (t=2.48, P=0.027) and the ICC was 48.74%. The two-level Logistic regression model showed that the gender (OR=1.235, 95% CI:1.082-1.411, P=0.005), age (OR=1.101, 95% CI:1.047-1.158, P=0.001), diabetes mellitus (OR=1.411,95%CI:1.192-1.670, P=0.001), family history of urinary calculi (OR=1.867, 95% CI:1.500-2.323, P<0.001), LDL (OR=1.150, 95% CI:1.050-1.260, P=0.006), drinking coffee (OR=1.352, 95% CI:1.065-1.716, P=0.017) and drinking sodas (OR=1.547, 95% CI:1.203-1.990, P=0.002) were the risk factors for urolithiasis. By contrast, consumed more fermented vinegar (OR=0.567, 95% CI:0.498-0.645, P<0.001) and had a amount of legume (OR=0.726, 95% CI:0.628-0.839, P<0.001) were protective factors of urolithiasis. Conclusion The prevalence of urolithiasis among adults reveal an aggregation in area-level, influenced by life environment and dietary habits of individual.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and interruption of 228 hepatitis B virus (HBV) positive pregnant women, and to provide more references for clinical education and treatment. Methods A total of 228 chronic HBV pregnant women underwent maternal-neonatal transmission blocking treatment in Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2015 to April 2019 were enrolled. Self-designed follow-up questionnaires were used to collect pregnant women's data. Then the relationship of epidemiological characteristics and HBV-DNA load levels with the genotype, hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was analyzed, moreover, the prevention of mother-to-child transmission was also analyzed. Results A total of 228 HBV-positive pregnant women were mainly over 30 years old, with a family history of liver disease, low education level (
