OBJECTIVETo study long-term effect on renal function exposed to environmental cadmium.
METHODSStratified random sampling and cluster sampling method of epidemiological investigations were carried out in northern Guangdong province between April, 2011 and August, 2012. A total of 167 residents who lived in high cadmium exposure area for more than 15 years, aged above 40 were selected in exposed group. Moreover, A total of 145 residents who had similar living and economic conditions and lived in local for more than 15 years, aged above 40 were selected in control group. We used health questionnaires and medical examinations in order to acquire their health status. Home-harvested rice and vegetables were collected using quartering method for detection of cadmium level. Urine specimens of residents were collected for detection of cadmium level and creatinine as well as renal dysfunction biomarkers, namely, N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosamidase (NAG), β2-microglobulin (β2-MG), and retinol binding protein(RBP), respectively. The analysis of spearman rank correlation and multiple regression were used to investigate the relationships between age, urinary cadmium levels and renal injury biomarkers.
RESULTSThe cadmium levels in rice and vegetables of exposed group were 0.75 and 0.10 mg/kg, both were significantly higher than 0.07 and 0.01 mg/kg in the control group (Z values were -6.32 and -7.84, all P values < 0.001). The urinary cadmium level of exposed group was 8.29 µg/g · cr, which was higher than that of the control group 2.03 µg/g · cr with significant difference (Z value was -11.39, P < 0.001). After stratified the total population by age, the urinary cadmium level in 40-49 years, 50-59 years and ≥ 60 years subgroups were 7.22, 8.71, and 13.10 µg/g · cr, which both were significantly higher than 1.80, 2.04, and 2.05 µg/g · cr in the control group (Z values were -5.22, -7.41, and -7.14, all P values < 0.001). After stratified the total population by gender, the urinary cadmium level of male and female were 5.12 and 12.36 µg/g · cr, which both were significantly higher than 1.79 and 2.16 µg/g · cr in the control group (Z values were -7.68 and -9.03, all P values < 0.001). Comparing the differences of renal dysfunction biomarkers (NAG, β2-MG, RBP) between two groups. The level of urinary β2-MG and RBP of exposed group were 0.21 and 0.04 µg/g · cr, which were higher than 0.05 and 0.00 µg/g · cr of the control group with significant difference (Z value was -7.08 and -9.65, all P values < 0.001). Pearson correlation analysis showed that NAG, β2-MG and RBP were positively correlated with urinary cadmium and age, the correlation coefficients were 0.57, 0.49, 0.21 and 0.22, 0.26, 0.23 respectively (all P values < 0.001). After adjusting the effect of age, it was appeared that urinary cadmium levels contributed most to the alteration of NAG, β2-MG and RBP, the standardized regression coefficients were 0.57, 0.49 and 0.20 (all P values < 0.001), and suggested that the cadmium body burden was one of the most important factors for renal dysfunction.
CONCLUSIONResidents, who had cadmium contaminated rice and vegetables for a long time, would take the risk of increasing body burden of cadmium and urinary early biomarkers of renal tubular injury that referred to occurrence of renal dysfunction.

METHODS Retrieved from the Cochrane Library ,PubMed,Embase,CNKI,Wanfang database,CBM and HTA official website ,systematic review/meta -analysis,pharmacoeconomics research and HTA reports about calcitonin in the treatment of PMOP were retrieved from the inception to Sept . 30th,2022. Two researchers independently carried out screening ,data extraction and quality evaluation ,and analyzed the data results descriptively . RESULTS A total of 18 studies were included ,including 12 SR/meta-analysis and 6 economic studies ,and no HTA report was retrieved . In terms of effectiveness , the results of the included studies were basically consistent :calcitonin had a certain advantage in reducing the incidence of vertebral fracture compared with calcium and lasoxifene alone ,but did not show clinical advantage compared with other positive drugs . In terms of reducing the incidence of non -vertebral fractures , calcitonin had some advantages ,compared with calcium al one and raloxifene ,but did not show clinical advantage compared with other positive drugs . In terms of improving bone mineral density(BMD),only 2 studies showed that calcitonin had a certain advantage over calcium but no advantage was observed compared with other positive drugs . In terms of improving non - vertebral BMD ,only 1 study showed that calcitonin combined with calcium had certain advantages compared with calcium alone in improving femoral BMD ,but there was no advantage compared with other positive drugs . In terms of lowering bone pain scores , both included studies demonstrated short -term benefit of nasal calcitonin in reducing acute pain was found in patients with vertebral fractures,but not in patients with chronic pain . In terms of safety ,the three included studies showed that calcitonin caused mild adverse reactions compared with other positive drugs ,but there was a risk of malignant tumors after long -term use . In terms of economy,only 1 study showed the use of nasal calcitonin in the treatment of PMOP had more economic advantages than no treatment or etidronate . CONCLUSIONS Calcitonin has a certain effect on reducing acute pain in patients with PMOP vertebral fracture,and its safety needs further investigation . No obvious economic advantage has been found .
