Objective:To explore the impact of the interaction between alcohol consumption and overweight/obesity on the risk of hypertension.Methods:It was a cross-sectional study, and convenient sampling was used to enroll physical examination participants aged 18-60 years from the Affiliated Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Southwest Medical University, the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University and Luzhou People′s Hospital from June to November in 2020. All the participants were given questionnaire survey, physical examination and biochemical tests. A total of 5 000 questionnaires were distributed in the study, and 4 878 questionnaires were collected, of which 4 397 (90.14%) were valid. According to the diagnostic criteria for hypertension, the study participants were divided into hypertension group (1 128 cases) and non-hypertension group (3 269 cases), and t-test and chi-square test were used to compare the differences in gender, age, and other data between the two groups; and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the association of alcohol consumption, overweight/obesity with the risk of hypertension and the interaction between alcohol consumption and overweight/obesity on the risk of hypertension, and relative excess risk of interaction, attributable proportion of interaction and the synergy index were used to evaluate the impact of the interaction between alcohol consumption and overweight/obesity on the risk of hypertension. Results:Among the 4 397 individuals included in the analysis, 3 116 were male and 1 281 were female, with a mean age of (42.42±8.83) years. The detection rate of hypertension was 25.7% (1 128/4 397). The risk of hypertension in overweight/obese individuals was 2.566 times ( OR=2.566, 95% CI: 2.167-3.038) higher than that of non-overweight/obese individuals, and the risk of hypertension in alcohol consumption individuals was 1.486 times ( OR=1.486, 95% CI: 1.250-1.766) higher than that of non-drinkers. The risk of hypertension in drinking+non-overweight/obesity group, non-drinking+overweight/obesity group, and drinking+overweight/obesity group was 1.468 times ( OR=1.468, 95% CI: 1.112-1.936), 2.538 times ( OR=2.538, 95% CI: 1.968-3.272), and 3.796 times ( OR=3.796, 95% CI: 2.963-4.863) higher than that of non-drinking+non-overweight/obesity group, respectively (all P<0.05). Alcohol consumption and overweight/obesity had an additive interaction effect on the risk of hypertension, and the relative excess risk of interaction, attributable proportion of interaction and the synergy index was 0.791 (95% CI: 0.158-1.424), 0.208 (95% CI: 0.049-0.368), 1.394 (95% CI: 1.030-1.888), respectively. There was no significant multiplicative interaction between alcohol consumption and overweight/obesity on the risk of hypertension ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Alcohol consumption and overweight/obesity are both associated higher risk of hypertension. In addition, there is an additive interaction between alcohol consumption and overweight/obesity on the risk of hypertension.

Journal of Audiology and Speech Pathology 2018;26(1):16-20
Objective To study the clinical characteristics of the Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH ) of the temporal bone in children .Methods A total of 14 children with LCH of the temporal bone at Wuhan Children's Hospital were retrospectively reviewed from June 2011 to December 2016 .The clinical data ,imaging findings ,diag-nosis ,treatment and prognosis were studied .The correlation between clinical classifications and prognosis was also analyzed .Among the 14 patients ,5 were girls and 9 were boys .Eight cases were the single system group (3 cases as the single temporal bone ,5 case as the multifocality ) ,and 6 case as the multisystem group .Results The most common clinical characteristics of LCH were temporal tumors ,otorrhea ,otalgia ,hearing loss and the granulation of external auditory canals .The followed-up was for 1~5 years .Four cases were regressive ,l case kept stable ,while 2 cases showed progressive .The prognosis in the multisystem group was significantly worse than the single system group(P<0 .05) .Conclusion The most of temporal bone LCH involves the single system ,while temporal tumor and otorrhea are common as the first signs of temporal bone LCH .The imaging examination remains as the major di-agnosis method .The differential diagnosis focuses on the common ear infection and otic neoplasms .The diagnosis is based on histological and immunophenotypic examination of the lesion tissue .The prognosis of the single system group is much better than the multisystem group .

Objective To investigate the effects of nutritional treatment in patients with AIDS.Methods A total of 104 HIV/AIDS patients with a total score of nutritional risk screening≥3 were divided into two groups:observation group (n =50) who were treated with nutritional therapy,control group(n =54) who refused nutritional treatment.The changes of parameters in two groups were observed before(I0) and 1 month after (I1)treatment and 3 months after treatment (I2).Results Compare with thecontrol group,the weight,BMI and ALB in observation group were higher at the time of I1 and I2 (P<0.05);Except for Hb and ALB,the other indexes had significant difference between the time of I0,I1,I2 in control group.While all the indexes had significant differencebetween the time of I0,I1,I2 in observation group.Conclusion Long-term comprehensive nutritional therapy can improve the nutritional status of AIDS patients,which provides patients with a good basis for anti-viral treatment.

Objective To evaluate the combination of the mortality in emergency department sepsis (MEDS) score with blood lactate level in the risk stratification of patients with severe sepsis in the emergency department (ED).Methods 665 adult patients with severe sepsis admitted from May 2011 to December 2012 in ED were found to be eligible for the study.MEDS score,acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score,and arterial blood lactate was determined,and the outcomes in 28 days were recorded.Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between each predictive factor score and prognosis.Each predictive factor was compared with the areas under the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve (AUC).Results The mortality in 28 days was 34.6% in 665 patients.The mortality in group of MEDS score 12-27 was significantly higher than that group of MEDS score<12 [51.0% (156/306) vs.20.6% (74/155),x2=28.414,P=0.000].In the meantime,APACHE Ⅱ score and blood lactate level were also significantly higher in group of MEDS score 12-27 than those in group with MEDS score<12 [APACHE Ⅱ score:26.4 ± 10.6 vs.21.7 ± 8.1,t=-3.555,P=0.002; lactate (mmol/L):4.9 (2.3,9.9)vs.3.9 (1.5,8.9),Z=-2.352,P=0.023].Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed significantdifference in the two groups (the Log Rank test 36.71,P <0.01).The levels of 3 predictive factors were predominantly higher in non-survivors than survivors [MEDS score:14.1 ± 6.7 vs.8.2 ± 4.5,t=-6.929,P=0.000; APACHE Ⅱ score:28.1 ±7.1 vs.22.2± 11.3,t=-6.472,P=0.000; lactate (mmol/L):5.4 (2.9,11.0) vs.3.8 (1.2,9.1),t=-6.472,P=0.004].The AUCs were 0.813,0.706 and 0.727 for MEDS score,APACHE Ⅱ score and blood lactate respectively.The predictive ability for 28-day mortality of MEDS score was better than blood lactate (P=0.008) and APACHE Ⅱ score (P=0.005).The AUC of MEDS score combined with lactate was 0.865,and 28-day mortality prediction was better than MEDS score (AUC 0.865 vs.0.813,P<0.001).The sensitivity (83.1%),specificity (93.2%),positive prediction value (PPV,62.4%),and negative prediction value (NPV,92.1%) for MEDS score combined with lactate were highest among all predictors.Conclusion MEDS score combined with lactate is a good risk stratification tool for emergency patients with severe sepsis,and its prognostic capability is better than either MEDS score,APACHE Ⅱ score or blood lactate.
