Progress in arthroscopic surgery for injury of superior labrum anterior posterior of shoulder joint / 中国骨伤

Superior labrum anterior posterior (SLAP) injury is a major challenge for orthopedic surgeons, due to the poor healing ability of the injured labrum. Although arthroscopic surgery is the gold standard for the treatment of SLAP injury, there are still disputes about the adaptation of different surgical techniques, the choice of anchors during operation, knotted or knotless anchors, and fixation methods. The authors believe that arthroscopic repair of SLAP lesions is effective for young patients with intact glenoid labrum(<35 years old) or with extensive activity, where single and knotless anchor is preferred. For the older patients(≥35 years old) with degeneration and wear of glenoid labrum, biceps tenodesis is more preferable, and interference screw fixation technique is recommended. As for patients with failed SLAP repair, biceps tenodesis can achieve a high success rate as a revision surgery. By review of the relevant literature in recent years, this paper summarizes the adaptation of different surgical methods of arthroscopic treatment of SLAP injury, intraoperative anchoring techniques, fixation methods and other improved surgical techniques.

Research progress of optical motion capture technology in shoulder biomechanics / 中国骨伤

The shoulder joint is the most flexible joint in the body with the largest range of motion, and the movement pattern is more complex. Accurate capture of three-dimensional motion data of the shoulder joint is crucial for biomechanical evaluation. Optical motion capture systems offer a non-invasive and radiation-free method to capture shoulder joint motion data during complex movements, enabling further biomechanical analysis of the shoulder joint. This review provides a comprehensive overview of optical motion capture technology in the context of shoulder joint movement, including measurement principles, data processing methods to reduce artifacts from skin and soft tissues, factors influencing measurement results, and applications in shoulder joint disorders.

Identification and expression of uridine diphosphate glycosyltransferase(UGT) gene family from Dendrobium officinale / 中国中药杂志

Uridine diphosphate glycosyltransferase(UGT) is a highly conserved protein in plants, which usually functions in secondary metabolic pathways. This study used the Hidden Markov Model(HMM) to screen out members of UGT gene family in the whole genome of Dendrobium officinale, and 44 UGT genes were identified. Bioinformatics was used to analyze the structure, phylogeny, and promoter region components of D. officinale genes. The results showed that UGT gene family could be divided into four subfamilies, and UGT gene structure was relatively conserved in each subfamily, with nine conserved domains. The upstream promoter region of UGT gene contained a variety of cis-acting elements related to plant hormones and environmental factors, indicating that UGT gene expression may be induced by plant hormones and external environmental factors. UGT gene expression in different tissues of D. officinale was compared, and UGT gene expression was found in all parts of D. officinale. It was speculated that UGT gene played an important role in many tissues of D. officinale. Through transcriptome analysis of D. officinale mycorrhizal symbiosis environment, low temperature stress, and phosphorus deficiency stress, this study found that only one gene was up-regulated in all three conditions. The results of this study can help understand the functions of UGT gene family in Orchidaceae plants and provide a basis for further study on the molecular regulation mechanism of polysaccharide metabolism pathway in D. officinale.

Progress on arthroscopic surgery for massive rotator cuff tears / 中国骨伤

The surgical treatment of massive rotator cuff tears is a clinical challenge for orthopaedic surgeons. Moreover, tendon retraction, adhesions and fatty infiltration after rotator cuff tear will further increase the difficulty of surgical repair. Therefore, it has become a hotspot and difficulty to repair massive rotator cuff tears with a better way in current research. In recent years, with the continuous development of arthroscopic techniques, shoulder arthroscopic surgery has become the gold standard for the treatment of massive rotator cuff tears, but the adaptations, effects and combined application of different surgical methods are still controversial. The author believes that arthroscopic debridement of shoulder joint and acromioplasty or tuberoplasty could relieve shoulder pain in the short-term for elderly patients with lower functional requirements;long biceps tenotomy or tenodesis is effective for patients with biceps long head tendon injury; complete repair is still the first line treatment for massive rotator cuff tears, but partial repair is possible for massive rotator cuff tears that could not be completely repaired;patch augmentation technology could bring good results for young patients with high functional requirements;for patients with limited internal and external rotation of the shoulder joint and high functional requirements, tendon transfers surgery is recommended;superior capsular reconstruction is more advantageous for young patients with no obvious glenohumeral arthritis, better deltoid muscle strength and higher functional requirements. In addition, subacromial spacer implantation has become a current research hotspot due to its advantages of small trauma, low cost and relative safety, and its long-term effect still needs to be further confirmed.

A case of occupational allyl alcohol inhalation poisoning / 中华劳动卫生职业病杂志

Allyl alcohol is an intermediate widely used in industrial production activities, which has caused many occupational damage in China. In this paper, the data of a case of skin damage and clinical cure of inhalation pneumonia caused by occupational allyl alcohol exposure were analyzed and summarized. The patient accidentally inhaled large amounts of allyl alcohol at work and had skin exposure, which was mainly manifested as aspiration pneumonia, respiratory failure, eye damage and skin bullae. After short-term hormone shock therapy, mechanical ventilation, infection prevention, local treatment and other comprehensive treatment, the patient was clinically cured. This case suggests that chemical pneumonia and respiratory failure may be caused by inhalation of allyl alcohol, and skin bullae may be caused by skin contact. Early treatment and hormone use should be emphasized.

OCT parameters as a predictor of the efficacy of Ranibizumab in the treatment of macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

AIM:To analyze the correlation between optical coherence tomography(OCT)parameters and central retinal vein occlusion of macular edema secondary(CRVO-ME), and compare the clinical efficacy of ranibizumab combined with laser photocoagulation and ranibizumab alone in the treatment of CRVO-ME.METHODS:There were 43 case with 43 eyes of patients in CRVO-ME diagnosed in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2020 included in the present study and divided into two groups, namely A and B. Patients in group A were treated with ranibizumab combined with laser photocoagulation, while patients in group B were treated with ranibizumab alone. The structure of outer retina and “SAVE” scores were observed and estimated using OCT and fluorescein angiography(FFA)examination before and after the treatment at 1, 3, 6, 12mo, and then analyzed their correlation with best corrected visual acuity(BCVA, LogMAR). The BCVA, central macular thickness(CMT), intraocular pressure and average number of drug injections were also compared between the two groups before and after treatment.RESULTS:At 12mo after treatment, the BCVA in the OCT baseline external limiting membrane(ELM)intact group and baseline ellipsoid zone(EZ)intact group before and after treatment were significantly improved than those of the fracture group(0.47±0.16 vs 0.21±0.15, P=0.013; 0.44±0.20 vs 0.25±0.17, P=0.008). There was no statistically significant difference in BCVA changes between baseline RPE fracture group and RPE intact group(P>0.05). The number of patients with “S” and “A” at 1 score decreased significantly at 12mo after treatment in both groups, the BCVA of patients with “V” and “E” at 0 score before treatment was significantly improved than those patients at 1 score(all P<0.05). The BCVA and CMT of patients after treatment in groups A and B were both significant improved compared with before treatment(P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the BCVA and CMT in the number of drug injections between the two groups(P>0.05). In addition, there were no severe complications such as secondary glaucoma and endophthalmitis in both groups.CONCLUSION: Baseline status of ELM and EZ, presence or absence of vitreoretinal abnormalities(V), and focal leakage(E)could suggest the treatment efficacy of CRVO-ME. Ranibizumab in the treatment of CRVO-ME demonstrates prominent efficacy and great safety, and there was no better effect was observed when combined with laser photocoagulation.

Progress on the treatment of recurrent anterior dislocation of shoulder with bone defect / 中国骨伤

Recurrent anterior dislocation of shoulder with bone defect is one of the common diseases of shoulder joint. How to effectively repair glenoid bone defect and reduce recurrence rate of shoulder dislocation is a problem that clinicians focus on. Bone grafting could stimulate bone, promote bone regeneration and bone remodeling, and restore the normal anatomical structure of glenoid. Among them, Bristow-Latarjet procedure is a classic operation for recurrent shoulder dislocation. Latarjet procedure could repair larger glenoid bone defects, but with higher surgical skills for surgeons;autogenous iliac grafting is the first choice for revision once Latarjet procedure failed;osteochondral grafting (autogenous and allogenous) has certain advantages in reconstructing original articular surface and preventing joint degeneration, but autologous osteochondral grafting may cause secondary injury, while immune rejection is difficult to avoid for allogenous osteochondral grafting. With the improvement of composite materials, and the mechanism of bone regeneration and remodeling, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of bone grafting, tissue engineering technology may become an effective method for the treatment of glenoid bone defect in the future.

Progress on arthroscopic surgery for recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation / 中国骨伤

The surgical treatment of recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation is a difficult problem in the field of sports injury medicine. The main reason focus on dynamic and osseous constraints of shoulder joint could not recover well. At present, arthroscopic surgery is used at home and abroad, and could receive statisfied postoperative effect, but the choice of specific surgical methods is still controversial. According to presence and size of glenoid and humeral skull defects, different treatments should be selected in clinic. The author recommends that no articular glenoid defect or glenoid defect 40% or Bristow-Latarjet if the surgical repair fails, bone grafting is used. In addition, if (humeral avulsion of glenohumeral ligaments, HAGL) injury existed, HAGL injury repair should be used. In addition to considering the important factor of bone defects, it is necessary to combine patient's age, exercise level and surgeon's technique to comprehensively select the bestsurgical method.

Suture technique for rotator cuff tears' repair under arthroscopic / 中国骨伤

Shoulder arthroscopic as a conventional method usually is applied to repair rotator cuff tears. In clinical, plenty single-row, double-row and transosseous tunnels suture technique are performed, but the ideal suture technique for rotator cuff repair is not found. Compared with single-row, double-row has better strength in biomechanics property. As the two best suture technique among the single-row, massive cuff stitch and modified Mason-Allen suture have the strongest biomechanics property. Clinical trials indicate that double-row could improve healing rates, but there are no significant difference in clinical outcome functional scores. Transosseous tunnel techniques possess a better bio-mechanic property, which could improve regional micro-environment and induce tendon-bone healing. Transosseous tunnel techniques are better for small to media size rotator cuff tears and osteoporosis patient. The author suggest that optimal rotator cuff repair technique should performed according to skill of performer and individual of patient by analysing bio-mechanic properties, clinical outcome, operative complexity and patient situation. The technique should follow simple opertaion, rapid, less trauma, stable fixation and utility to perform.

Influence of longitudinal trajectories of body mass index on new-onset gallstone disease / 临床肝胆病杂志

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of longitudinal trajectories of body mass index (BMI) on new-onset gallstone disease. MethodsA prospective cohort study was conducted for 44168 employees who underwent physical examination in Kailuan General Hospital in 2006, 2008, and 2010, and related data, including BMI, were collected. Physical examination was performed once every two years, and the employees were followed up to observe the onset of gallstone disease. According to the longitudinal trajectories of BMI, the employees were divided into low-stable group with 14888 employees, medium-stable group with 22334 employees, and high-stable group with 6948 employees. 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 continuous data with skewed distribution between multiple groups; the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the cumulative incidence rate of gallstone disease in each group, and the log-rank test was used for comparison between groups. The Cox proportional-hazards regression model was used to analyze the influence of longitudinal trajectories of BMI on the onset of gallstone disease. Resultsthe mean follow-up of 5.41 years, a total of 902 patients with gallstone disease were observed, and the cumulative incidence rates of gallstone disease in the low-stable group, the medium-stable group, and the high-stable group were 4.80%, 5.25%, and 9.45%, respectively, with a significant difference between groups based on the log-rank test (χ2=81.86, P＜0.01). After adjustment for confounding factors in the Cox proportional hazards model, compared with the low-stable group, the medium-stable group and the high-stable group had a risk of gallstone disease increased by 1.55 times (95% confidence interval［CI］: 1.31-1.84) and 2.29 times (95% CI: 1.86-2.80), respectively. ConclusionThe ncreased longitudinal trajectory of BMI is an independent risk factor for the onset of gallstone disease.

Research advance in surface modification of titanium alloys with chitosan / 中国骨伤

Titanium alloy has good biological properties and is commonly used in orthopedics, but its bone integrity and antibacterial properties are poor, so surface modification is needed to make up for its shortcomings. Chitosan has good biocompatibility and film forming ability, and can be used as a carrier to introduce the target drug to the surface of titanium alloy, which can effectively improve the biological properties of titanium alloy materials and increase its application range. In this paper, the related research of chitosan surface modified titanium alloy materials in recent years is summarized. The modification methods of chitosan coating, the improvement of osteogenesisand antibacterial properties of titanium alloy materials are discussed in order to provide guidance for the clinical application of coating modification of titanium alloy materials.

Progress on effect of osteoporosis on rotator cuff repair / 中国骨伤

The rate of rotator cuff injury repair and retear is high in elderly patients due to the combination of different degrees of osteoporosis. To solve this problem, many surgeons try to reduce retear rate of rotator cuff injuries in these patients by increasing the initial fixation strength of anchors and changing local bone conditions. The rapid advances of tissue engineering have made it possible to use growth factors as an aid. However, repair of rotator cuff injury with osteoporosis is still a great challenge for clinical workers. How to better increase anchor fixation strength, improve micro-environment of tendon and bone healing, reduce the rotator cuff retear rate have become the research focus in recent years. The paper reviewed literatures on the relationshipbetween osteoporosis and rotator cuff injury, effect of osteoporosis in rotator cuff tendon healing, methods of reducing osteoporosis on rotator cuff tendon healing, in order to guide clinical treatment, improve operative effect and postoperative satisfaction.

Pigmentation Phenotype Prediction of Chinese Populations from Different Language Families / 法医学杂志

Objective To predict the pigmentation phenotypes of Chinese populations from different language families, analyze the differences and provide reference data for forensic anthropology and genetics. Methods The HIrisPlex-S multiplex amplification system with 41 loci related to pigmentation phenotypes was constructed in the laboratory, and 2 666 DNA samples of adult males of 17 populations from six language families, including Indo-European, Sino-Tibetan, Altaic, Hmong-Mien, Tai-Kadai and Austro-Asiatic language families distributed in different regions of China were genotyped. The pigmentation phenotype category of each individual was predicted using the online prediction system （https://HIrisPlex.erasmusmc.nl/）, and then the output data were statistically analyzed. Results About 1.92% of the individuals of Asian-European admixed populations from Indo-European and Altaic language families had blue eyes and 34.29% had brown or gold hair. The phenotypes of the color of eyes and hair of other populations had no significant difference, all individuals had brown eyes and black hair. There were differences in skin color of populations of different language families and geographical areas. The Indo-European language family had the lightest skin color, and the Austro-Asiatic language family had the darkest skin color; the southwestern minority populations had a darker skin color than populations in the plain areas. Conclusion The prediction results of pigmentation phenotype of Chinese populations are consistent with the perception of the appearance of each population, proving the reliability of the system. The color of eyes and hair are mainly related to ancestral components, while the skin color shows the differences between language families, and is closely related to geographical distribution of populations.

Effect of acupuncture on the ultrastructure of neurons and astrocytes in the hippocampal dentate gyrus in rats with Alzheimer's disease induced by Aβ / 中国针灸

OBJECTIVE@#To observe the effects of acupuncture at "Baihui" (GV 20) and "Shenshu" (BL 23) on the ultrastructure of hippocampal dentate gyrus in rats with Alzheimer's disease.@*METHODS@#Forty SPF Wistar male rats were randomly divided into a normal group, a sham operation group, a model group and an acupuncture group, 10 rats in each one. The rats in the model group and the acupuncture group were treated with injection of 5 μL Aβ at bilateral hippocampus, while the rats in the sham operation group were treated with injection of 5 μL 0.9% NaCl. Three days after modeling, the rats in the acupuncture group were treated with acupuncture at "Baihui" (GV 20) and "Shenshu" (BL 23) for 20 min, once a day, six treatments constituted a course, and totally two courses were given with an interval of 1 day between courses. The rats in the other groups received normal diet and no treatment was given. Before modeling, four days after modeling and after treatment, water maze test was performed to observe the escape latency and the number of crossing platforms. The hippocampal dentate gyrus was collected and transmission electron microscope was applied to observe the ultrastructure changes of neurons and astrocytes.@*RESULTS@#①Four days after modeling, compared with the normal group and the sham operation group, the escape latency was significantly prolonged and the number of crossing platforms was reduced in the model group (all <0.01); after treatment, compared with the model group, the escape latency was significantly reduced and the number of crossing platforms was increased in the acupuncture group (both <0.01). ②In the normal group and the sham operation group, the morphology of neurons and astrocytes was intact, the nuclear and membrane structure were clear, and the morphology of organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum and lysosomes was normal. In the model group, the morphology of neurons was irregular, the nucleus was severely constricted with edema in the cytoplasm, the color of heterochromatin was deepened, the endoplasmic reticulum was expanded, the granulation was removed and the number of mitochondria was decreased, even with malformed-like change in mitochondrial cristae; there was severe edema around astrocytes, few organelles in the cytoplasm, severe swelling of mitochondria and mild expansion of the endoplasmic reticulum. In the acupuncture group, the edema of the neuron and astrocytes was still evident, and the mitochondrial was mildly swollen but relieved compared with that in the model group, and there were no obvious abnormalities in neuronal endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes.@*CONCLUSION@#Acupuncture could improve the ultrastructure of neurons and astrocytes in the hippocampal dentate gyrus in rats with Alzheimer's disease induced by Aβ.

Short-time therapeutic effect of stent angioplasty for acute intracranial large artery atherosclerosis occlusion / 第二军医大学学报

Objective To explore the safety and effectiveness of stent angioplasty for acute intracranial large artery atherosclerosis occlusion. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 460 patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing endovascular thrombectomy in our hospital from May 2013 to Feb. 2018. We selected the patients with stent angioplasty and evaluated the safety and effectiveness. Results Fifty-six patients were included in this study, and there were 36 cases (64.3%) with occlusion of the anterior circulation and 20 cases (35.7%) of the posterior circulation. Twenty patients underwent intravenous thrombolysis before operation, and the door-to-needle time was (39.9±13.2) min. All scaffolds were successfully released to the designated location with a technical success rate of 100% (56/56). Fifty-five patients (98.2%) achieved recanalization of modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction grade 2b and 3, and one patient had failed recanalization. The National Institutes of Health stroke scale score was 2.0 (0.0, 6.0) at 7 d after operation, which was significantly improved compared with the preoperation one (12.5 [6.0, 20.0], Z＝－4.073, P0.05). Intracranial hemorrhage occurred in 7 patients (12.5%) after operation, in which 2 patients (3.6%) had symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage. Thirty-nine patients (69.6%) received skull computed tomography perfusion (CTP) examination at 3-5 d after operation, and CTP showed that 33 cases (84.6%) had patency, 4 cases (10.3%) had reocclusion, and 2 cases (5.1%) had moderate stenosis; and 17 cases (30.4%) were not examined by CTP. Thirty-four patients (60.7%) had a good prognosis at 90 d after operation (modified Rankin scale score 0-2), 9 (16.1%) died, and 13 (23.2%) were lost. Conclusion Stent angioplasty is a safe and effective treatment method for acute intracranial large artery atherosclerosis occlusion. However, short-term stent reocclusion after operation should not be ignored.

health examination at the Kailuan General 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 from June 2006 to December 2015 were collected.According to definition of alcohol consumption from literature,all the 77 755 participants were allocated into the 5 groups,including 50 695 with never drinking in the never group,3 154 with alcohol withdrawal time≥ 1 year in the past group,12 410 with light drinking in the light group,1 606 with moderate drinking in the moderate group and 9 890 with heavy drinking in the heavy group.All participants received the same-order health examinations by the fixed team of doctors in 2006,2008,2010,2012 and 2014 at the same place.Epidemiological investigation,anthropometric parameters and biochemical indicators were collected.Observation indicators:(1) comparisons of clinical characteristics among the 5 groups;(2) incidence of cholelithiasis;(3) risk factors analysis affecting new-onset cholelithiasis;(4) comparisons of the fitting degree of alcohol consumption on new-onset cholelithiasis model.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as (x)±s,and comparisons among groups were analyzed using the one-way ANOVA.The pairwise comparison and homogeneity of variance were done using the least significance difference (LSD) test.Heterogeneity of variance was analyzed by the Dunnett's T3 test.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (Q),and comparisons among groups were analyzed using the rank sum test.Comparisons of count data were analyzed using chi-square test.The cumulative incidence of new-onset cholelithiasis was calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method,and comparisons of incidences among groups were done by the Log-rank test.The hazard ratio (HR) and 95％ confidence interval (CI) of different intakes of alcohol on new-onset cholelithiasis were estimated by the COX proportional hazards regression models.The fitting degree of alcohol consumption on new-onset cholelithiasis model was calculated by the likelihood ratio test and akaike information criterion (AIC).Results (1) Comparisons of clinical characteristics among the 5 groups:male,age,systolic pressure,diastolic pressure,body mass index (BMI),total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG),fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and waistline and cases with

mmol/L,(88±9)cm,159,762,591,591 in the moderate group and 9 868,(52±9) years,(135±21)mmHg,(86±12)mmHg,(25±3)kg/m2,(5.18±1.21)mmoL/L,1.36 mmol/L (0.92-2.19 mmol/L),(5.5±1.5)mmoL/L,(88±9) cm,819,4 900,2 183,2 183 in the heavy group,showing statistically significant differences among groups [x2 =9 989.71,F=869.28,F=254.13,195.97,27.52,112.63,H(x2) =154.09,F=11.92,63.37,x2 =128.17,656.31,23 561.80,656.31,P＜0.05].(2) Incidence of cholelithiasis:all 77 755 participants were observed for (6.8±2.1)years,3 757 were diagnosed as new-onset cholelithiasis,with a cumulative incidence of new-onset cholelithiasis of 4.5％.The cumulative incidences of new-onset cholelithiasis in the never,past,light,moderate and heavy groups were respectively 5.1％,4.9％,3.7％,3.4％ and 3.3％,showing a statistically significant difference among groups (x2=83.14,P＜0.05).The cumulative incidence of new-onset cholelithiasis in the never group was significantly different from that in the past,light,moderate and heavy groups (x2 =18.34,40.58,45.41,48.44,P＜0.05).The cumulative incidence of new-onset cholelithiasis in the past group was significantly different from that in the light,moderate and heavy groups (x2 =18.72,20.47,25.41,P＜0.05).There were statistically significant differences in the cumulative incidence of new-onset cholelithiasis among the light,moderate and heavy groups (x2=8.47,12.41,P＜0.05) and no statistically significant difference between the moderate and heavy groups (x2=0.85,P＞0.05).(3) Risk factors analysis affecting new-onset cholelithiasis:results of COX proportional hazards regression models showed that risks of new-onset cholelithiasis in the light,moderate and heavy groups were reduced compared with never group after adjustment of gender,age,TC,TG,BMI,hypertension,diabetes,smoking and physical exercise (HR=0.88,0.82,0.73,95％CI:0.79-0.98,0.76-0.89,0.64-0.83,P＜0.05).(4) Comparisons of the fitting degree of alcohol consumption on newonset cholelithiasis model:multivariate model was constructed after adding risk factors of gender,age,BMI,TG,TC,hypertension,diabetes mellitus,smoking and physical exercise,and-2Log L and AIC were 76 331.83 and 76 353.83 for the multivariate model.Then drinking variable was added into multivariate model,and the-2Log L and AIC of the multivariate model+drinking model were 76 307.86 and 76 337.86,respectively,with statistically significant differences (x2=23.97,P＜0.05).Conclusion Alcohol consumption is an independent protective factor for new-onset cholelithiasis,and the risk of cholelithiasis is decreased with increasing alcohol intake.

as (x)±s,and comparisons among groups were analyzed using the one-way ANOVA.Measurement data with skewed distribution is expressed by M (Q),and comparisons among groups were analyzed using the nonparametric Krustal-willis test.Count data were represented by percentage,and comparisons among groups were analyzed using chi-square test.The incidences of cholethiasis in 4 groups of different serum uric acid were calculated by person-year incidence.Restrictive cubic spline regression was used to calculate the dose-response relation between the continuous variable and the risks of new-onset cholelithiasis and 95％ confidence interval (CI).COX regression model was used to analyze the hazard ratio (HR) and 95％ CI of different serum uric acid levels on new-onset cholelithiasis.Likelihood ratio test and akaike information criterion (AIC) were used to calculate the fitting degree of serum uric acid on new-onset cholelithiasis model.Boxplots were used to describe serum uric acid in different genders.Results (1) comparisons of clinical characteristics among the 4 groups:sex (male),age,body mass index (BMI),systolic pressure,diastolic pressure,fasting plasma glucose (FPG),total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG),high sensitive C-reactive protein,diabetes,hypertension,smoking,drinking and physical exercise were 15 162,(50± 11) years,(24±3)kg/m2,(123±21)mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa),(82± 12)mmHg,(5.6±2.0) mmol/L,(4.8±1.2) mmol/L,1.14 mmol/L (range,0.81-1.63 mmol/L),0.70 mmol/L (range,0.23-2.23 mmol/L),2 537,9 415,4575,2380,2 649 in the Q1 group,19 079,(51±12)

562,6 209,4 758 in the Q4 group,respectively,with statistically significant differences among the 4 groups (x2 =7 624.63,F=279.93,961.91,330.84,271.40,38.25,353.18,H =3 406.30,912.23,x2 =108.15,590.49,2567.07,2 209.21,760.15,P＜0.05).(2)Incidence of cholelithiasis in the 4 groups:97 469 participants were followed up for 592 922 person-year,4 270 participants had new-onset cholelithiasis,with a total person-year incidence of 7.20 thousand person / year.The person-year incidence were respectively 6.34 (971/153 205 * 1 000),6.91 (1 034/149 686 * 1 000),7.44 (1 090/146 549 * 1 000),8.19 (1 175/143 482 * 1 000) thousand person / year in Q1,Q2,Q3 and Q4 group.(3) Effects of serum uric acid on the new-onset cholelithiasis.① The dose-response relationship between serum uric acid and the risk of cholelithiasis:restricted cubic spline regression showed a linear relationship between continuous serum uric acid,logarithmic transformated serum uric acid and the risk of cholelithiasis (x2 =11.74,8.01,P＜0.05).② Comparisons of the fitting degree of serum uric acid on the cholelithiasis model:adjusted for sex,age,BMI,TC,TG,diabetes,hypertension,smoking,drinking and physical exercise,risks of new-onset cholelithiasis increased in Q3 and Q4 groups compared with Q1 group (HR=1.10,1.12,95％CI:1.01-1.20,1.03-1.23,P＜0.05).The-2Log L and AIC value of multivariate model,serum uric acid+multivariate model were 92 532.39,92 550.39 and 92 525.35,92 549.35,respectively,with a statistically significant difference (x2=7.04,P ＜ 0.05).③ Effects of different serum uric acid levels on incidence of cholelithiasis after stratification by sex:in female participants,adjusted for age,BMI,TC,TG,diabetes,hypertension,smoking,drinking and physical exercise,risk of new-onset cholelithiasis in Q1 group was not statistically significant different from that in Q2,Q3,Q4 group (HR=1.06,1.15,1.09,95％CI:0.88-1.28,0.93-1.34,0.91-1.31,P＞0.05).In male participants,adjusted for age,BMI,TC,TG,diabetes,hypertension,smoking,drinking and physical exercise,risks of new-onset cholelithiasis in Q2,Q3 and Q4 groups were increased compared with Q1 group (HR=1.17,1.24,1.30,95％CI:1.06-1.30,1.12-1.37,1.18-1.44,P＜0.05).④ Serum uric acid of different gender on the boxplots:in female participants,the level of serum uric acid was (249 ± 61) μmol/L,(235±50)μmol/L,(231±56) μmol/L,(250±66) μmol/L,(266±75) μmol/L,(281±81) μmol/L,(298±76) μmol/L,(379±86)μmol/L respectively in the group of 18-27 years old,28-37 years old,38-47 years old,48-57 years old,58-67 years old,68-77 years old,78-87 years old,88-97 years old after stratified by 10 years old.In male participants,the level of serum uric acid was respectively (310±76)μmol/L,(298 ±75) μmol/L,(298±74) μmol/L,(294±74) μmol/L,(302±78) μmol/L,(311 ±80) μmol/L,(322±80) μmol/Land (330±75)μmol/L after participants stratified by 10 years old.⑤ Effects of different serum uric acid levels on the incidence of cholelithiasis after stratification by age:in participants with age ≤ 60 years old,adjusted for sex,BMI,TC,TG,diabetes,hypertension,smoking,drinking and physical exercise,risk of new-onset cholelithiasis in the Q2 and Q3 groups were not increased compared with Q1 group (HR=1.05,1.10,95％CI:0.94-1.17,0.99-1.23,P＞0.05),however,risk of new-onset cholelithiasis was increased in the Q4 group (HR =1.15,95％CI:1.02-1.28,P＜0.05).In participants with age ＞ 60 years old,adjusted for sex,BMI,TC,TG,diabetes,hypertension,smoking,drinking and physical exercise,risk of new-onset cholelithiasis in the Q2 groups was not increased compared with Q1 group (HR=1.16,95％CI:0.99-1.36,P＞0.05),however,risks of new-onset cholelithiasis were increased in the Q3 and Q4 groups (HR =1.19,1.21,95％CI:1.02-1.40,1.04-1.41,P＜ 0.05).Conclusion Elevated serum uric acid is an independent risk factor for the new-onset cholelithiasis.
