ObjectiveTo investigate the association between cumulative atherogenic index of plasma (cumAIP) and the risk of new-onset nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in young and middle-aged individuals. MethodsA prospective cohort study was conducted among the young and middle-aged individuals (aged 18 to <60 years) in the Kailuan study cohort who underwent physical examination in Kailuan General Hospital and its 10 affiliated hospitals in June 2006 to October 2010, and after screening based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 33 987 individuals were included in the observation cohort. The individuals were divided into Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 groups based on the quantiles of cumAIP. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the cumulative incidence rate of new-onset NAFLD in the four groups, while the log-rank test was used for comparison between groups. A multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to obtain the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of the risk of new-onset NAFLD in the four groups. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups, and the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups; the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical variables between groups. ResultsThe mean follow-up was 10.89±2.54 years, and there were 6 011 cases of new-onset NAFLD, including 995 cases in the Q1 group, 1 366 in the Q2 group, 1661 in the Q3 group, and 1 989 in the Q4 group, with an incidence density of 11.37, 16.02, 19.97, and 24.91 per thousand person-years. The log-rank test showed that there was a significant difference in cumulative incidence rate between the four groups (P<0.001). With the presence or absence of NAFLD as the dependent variable and the quantiles of different exposure levels to cumAIP as the independent variable, the multivariate Cox regression model analysis showed that compared with the Q1 group, the Q2, Q3, and Q4 groups had an HR of 1.30 (95%CI: 1.20 — 1.41), 1.52 (95%CI: 1.41 — 1.65), and 1.79 (95%CI: 1.64 — 1.95), respectively, for new-onset NAFLD, with a Ptrend value of <0.001. With the presence or absence of new-onset NAFLD as the dependent variable and the cumulative exposure to AIP for 0, 2, 4, and 6 years as the independent variable, the Cox regression analysis showed that compared with cumulative exposure to AIP for 0 years, cumulative exposure to AIP for 2, 4, and 6 years had an HR of 1.24 (95%CI: 1.15 — 1.35), 1.51 (95%CI: 1.40 — 1.64), and 1.70 (95%CI: 1.56 — 1.84), respectively, with a Ptrend value of <0.001. A sensitivity analysis was performed after exclusion of the individuals with new-onset NAFLD within 2 years, the individuals who experienced atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events during follow-up, and the individuals taking antihypertensive, hypoglycemic, and lipid-lowering drugs, and the results were similar to those of the main analysis. Considering the competitive relationship between all-cause death and outcome events, a competing risk analysis of death was performed, which showed that the results of risk analysis were similar to those of the main analysis. ConclusionA high level of cumAIP exposure can increase the risk of new-onset NAFLD in young and middle-aged individuals.

Objective To develop anxiety scale suitable for Chinese pregnant women and evaluate its reliability and validity. Methods Based on existing research results and clinical experience,this study compiled pregnancy anxiety scale(PAS). A sample of 509 pregnant women were selected for investigation and 65 of them were randomly retested for test-retest reliability with 2 week interval. Item analysis was con-ducted to screen valid items. Then the construct validity of the scale was tested by exploratory factor analysis ( EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis(CFA). Finally the reliability and criterion validity of the scale were evaluated using Cronbach's α coefficient,retest reliability coefficient and Pearson correlation coefficient. Re-sults The PAS was composed of 27 items in four factors,including worry about delivery,worry about them-selves,worry about fetal health and general anxiety. The four factors were extracted by EFA which could ex-plain 62. 48% of the total variance. Besides,the result of CFA demonstrated that the model fitted the data with well construct validity (χ2/df=1. 89,RMR=0. 04,RMSEA=0. 06,IFI=0. 92,TLI=0. 91,CFI=0. 92, PGFI=0. 70,PNFI=0. 74,PCFI=0. 81). The score of the pregnancy-related anxiety scale and its factors scores were positively correlated with the scores of pregnancy-related anxiety questionnaire(PAQ) and child-birth attitudes questionnaire(CAQ). The correlation coefficients were 0. 60-0. 80 and 0. 50-0. 78 respectively (all P<0. 01). The Cronbach's α coefficient was 0. 93 for the total scale and that of the four factors ranged from 0. 82 to 0. 90. The test-retest reliability was 0. 68 for the total scale and ranged from 0. 54 to 0. 75 for the four factors. Conclusion The PAS has a good reliability and validity,and it can be used as a valid tool to measure the anxiety level of pregnant women.

Preoperative mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) has been established as a standard procedure for elective colorectal surgery in most surgical centers since 1950s. However, the routine use of MBP for elective colorectal surgery is still in debate, as the researches on the evaluation of MBP have been carried out in recent 20 years. By searching and analyzing the existing evidence, we conclude that MBP should be routinely abandoned for elective open colorectal surgery, but should be routinely used for elective laparoscopic rectal surgery, and it still awaits large-scale RCTs for further evaluation of MBP for elective laparoscopic colonic surgery.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of early stage minimally invasive laparoscopic retroperitoneal approach of catheter drainage on early inflammatory response of severe acute pancreatitis ( SAP ) . Methods 37 SAP patients with peritoneal effusion were divided into the observation group (19 cases with early laparoscopic retroperitoneal approach of catheter drainage )and normal treatment group(18 cases with conventional drainage)using a random number table.All patients were given conventional therapy , such as fasting, gastroin-testinal decompression , anti-infection, fluid resuitation and using gastric acid and trypsin inhibitors .In addition to conventional therapy , the observation group received the early laparoscopic retroperitoneal approach of catheter drainage.The inflammatory indexes responding to acute inflammation such as TNF-α,IL-6,IL-8, IL-10 and C-re-active protein(CRP)were detected before and after treatment .Meanwhile, the date of resume diet, APACHEⅡscores and duration of systemic inflammatory response ( SIRS) , incidence of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome ( MODS) and the mortality were observed .Results The acute inflammatory response occurred in both groups . The plasma levels of TNF-a,IL-6,IL-8,IL-10 and CRP in the two groups decreased obviously after 3-day treat-ment.However, the plasma levels of inflammatory mediators in the normal treatment group increased while those early laparoscopic retroperitoneal approach of catheter drainage group kept decreasing after 7-day treatment .There was a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.01).Time for resuming to diets and duration of SIRS in the observation group were less than those in the normal treatment group ( P<0.01 ) , APACHEⅡscore were significantly less than those in normal treatment group also (P<0.01).The rates of MODS, overall postoperative complication rate and mortality were significantly lower in the observation group (P<0.05).Conclusions Early laparoscopic retroperitoneal approach of catheter drainage can effectively improve the prognosis in patients with SAP and decrease the production of inflammatory mediators .Early laparoscopic retroperitoneal approach of cathe-ter drainage is simple , feasible and micro-invasive with encouraging outcomes , therefore it is an effective and safe treatment option for patients with SAP .
