The Relationship

Aim. The relationship between alcohol consumption and glycometabolic abnormality is controversial, especially in different ethnic population. In this study, a cross-sectional survey was carried out to examine the relationship between alcohol consumption and glycometabolic abnormality in middle-aged and elderly Chinese men. Methods. Using cluster random sampling, Chinese men aged more than 40 years from Changchun, China, were given standardized questionnaires. In total, 1996 individuals, for whom complete data was available, were recruited into the study. We calculated the incidence of prediabetes and newly diagnosed diabetes by three levels of alcohol consumption: light, moderate, and heavy. Multivariate logistic regression models adjusted for socioeconomic variables and diabetes-related risk factors were used to analyze the association between alcohol consumption and the onset of prediabetes and diabetes. Results. The univariate analysis revealed higher incidence of prediabetes among drinkers (32.8%) compared with nondrinkers (28.6%), particularly in heavy alcohol consumers. The logistic regression analysis showed that alcohol consumption, especially heavy consumption, was an independent risk factor for prediabetes. Conclusions. Alcohol consumption, heavy consumption in particular, is an independent risk factor for the development of prediabetes, but not for diabetes.

Objective This study aims to explore the relationship between sedentary behavior and the diabetes mellitus prevalence of middle-aged and elderly people. Methods  we conduct a questionnaire survey and physical examination for a total of 3,000 middle-aged and elderly people (≥45 years old) ,analysing by he software of  SPSS21.0 and Stata12.0. Results The logistic regression analysis shows that the risk of diabetes is 1.617 (95% CI, 0.762-1.789, P <0.05) at 2-4h, 4-6h, 6-8h, ≥8h, = 0.003), 1.235 (95% CI, 0.818-1.865, P = 0.034), 3.420 (95% CI, 2.241-5.218, P = 0.000), 5.014 (95% CI, 3.049-8.247, P = 0.000). With each additional one-hour sedentariness the risk of diabetes increases by 23% (OR1.23, 95% CI 1.18-1.29, p <0.0001). Conclusions The sedentary behavior is an independent risk factor for diabetes. The prevalence of diabetes is gradually increasing with the increase of sedentary time, which indicates the longer sedentary time, the higher prevalence of diabetes.

Abstract Background To determine if alcohol consumption is a risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and nocturnal oxygen desaturation. Methods This case–control study evaluated patients with confirmed OSA and a control group using polysomnography (PSG). Two doctors who have worked in this field for more than 5 years provided a blinded interpretation of the patients’ monitoring results. Logistic regression models were used to identify the odds ratio (OR) for alcohol consumption on OSA. Results A total of 793 patients were enrolled in this study. Compared with those who did not consume alcohol, those consuming alcohol had a higher risk of OSA (OR 2.03, 95% CI 1.30–3.17) after adjustment. Regarding the risk of OSA after adjusting for former drinkers and current ones, the ORs were 1.96 (95% CI 1.19–3.22) and 2.22 (95% CI 1.06–4.63), respectively. And the P for trend = 0.002. The β of former drinkers and the current ones were 3.448 and 4.560 after adjustment; P for trend was 0.006. The relationship may have gender difference, and alcohol consumption was associated with AHI in female significantly (β = 10.190 and 15.395 for former and current drinkers, respectively, in females after adjustment, P for trend = 0.002). Conclusions In this study, we found that alcohol consumption was an independent risk factor of OSA and OSA with hypoxia, and alcohol consumption was related to AHI significantly after adjustment, especially in female. In order to reduce the risk and severity of OSA, it is suggested that people should avoid drinking, and drinkers should abstain from drinking.

Abstract Background and Aims To investigate the relationship between hypochloremia on all-cause death in patients receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Method 300 CAPD patients from January 2013 to December 2019 in the Sixth People's Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University. According to the serum chloride level, the patients were divided into two groups: hypochloremia group (serum chlorine ≤ 96mmol / L, n = 135) and normal chloride group (106mmol / L &lt; serum chlorine &gt; 96mmol / L, n = 165). The endpoint was all-cause death. We used the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve to analysis the diagnostic value and logistic regression to assess the predictive value in relation to serum chloride with all-cause death in CAPD patients. Kaplan Meier curve was used to evaluate the effect of serum chloride on all-cause death survival analysis. All statistics were analyzed by SPSS 20.0 software, P &lt; 0.05, indicating significant difference. Results 114 cases of all-cause death occurred in CAPD patients during follow-up (62.1 ± 11.1 months). The results of correlation analysis showed that serum chloride was positively correlated with serum sodium and potassium (r=0.721,0.199, P=0.001) and the negative correlation between serum chloride and dialysis age and serum phosphorus (r=-0.321, - 0.300, P=0.001). ROC curve analysis showed that serum chloride was statistically significant in predicting all-cause death in CAPD patients (AUC = 0.666, 95% Cl = 0.601-0.730, sensitivity / specificity = 64.6% / 59.8%, best threshold = 95.5mmol/l). Kaplan Meier analysis of all-cause death risk curve shows that the incidence of all-cause death in the low chloride group is higher than that in the normal serum chloride group. Logistic regression analysis showed that low chloride level was an independent risk factor for all-cause death in CAPD patients. Conclusion Hypochloremia is an independent risk factor for all-cause death in CAPD patients.

Abstract Background : This study was to evaluate the change of leukocyte level caused by hyperuricemia and explore the relationship between leukocyte level and hypertension in elderly patients with hyperuricemia. Methods: A cross-sectional study of serum uric acid level was conducted in 1352 elderly people over 65 years old . The study samples were divided into three categories according to the tertiles of leukocyte: Tertile 1, leukocyte≤5.2 × 10 9 /L; Tertile 2, leukocyte=5.3~6.3 × 10 9 /L; and Tertile 3, leukocyte≥6.4 × 10 9 /L. Multiple logistic regression models were used for modeling relationships between leukocyte, hyperuricemia and hypertension. In vitro, human vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) were treated by different concentrations of UA (0, 4, 8, 16 mg/dl) for 24 h, then cells were collected. Some cytokines were measured. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were analyzed with a fluorescence microscope. Results: The levels of leukocyte were higher in elderly patients with hyperuricemia than without hyperuricemia( P <0.01). In multiple logistic regression, hyperuricemia was an independent risk factor of leukocyte in Tertile 3 (OR=1.657, 95%CI: 1.180～2.328, P =0.004). The prevalences of hypertension were higher in elderly patients with hyperuricemia than without hyperuricemia (77.0% vs 63.5%, χ 2 =11.447, P =0.001). In multiple logistic regression (Model 1), hyperuricemia was an independent risk factor of hypertension (OR=1.536, 95%CI: 1.026～2.302, P =0.037). Leukocyte in Tertile 3 was an independent risk factor of hypertension in Model 2 (OR= 1.333, 95%CI: 1.031~1.724, P =0.028). Expression levels of IL-1β, iNOS and TNF-α were obviously higher in the 8mg/dl UA group and 16mg/dl UA group than that in the control group ( P <0.05). Expression level of eNOS was obviously lower in the 8mg/dl UA group and 16mg/dl UA group than that in the control group ( P <0.05). The production of ROS in the 8mg/dl UA group and in the 16mg/dl UA group were obviously higher than that in the control group ( P <0.05). Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that hyperuricemia was associated with an increased risk for hypertension. The chronic inflammation caused by hyperuricemia maybe one of important pathogenesis of incident hypertension in patients with hyperuricemia.

The Relationship

Background and purpose: Patient satisfaction, including on radiography services, is an important component of health care provision. Surveys on patient satisfaction have been carried out particularly in government hospitals, but a more detailed study to determine the relationship between patient satisfaction with the responsiveness of service providers has yet to be carried out. This study aims to determine the relationship between the six domains of responsiveness of service providers and outpatient satisfaction at three conventional radiography facilities in Denpasar.Methods: Study was conducted by cross-sectional survey of 158 respondents selected consecutively in three conventional radiography services, namely a government hospital, a private hospital and a private radiology clinic. Data were collected through interviews using modified questionnaires on responsiveness from WHO. Data were analyzed by univariate, bivariate (chi-square test) and multivariate logistic regression method.Results: Univariate analysis indicated that patient satisfaction was 69% but still below the minimum service standards (>80,0%). Multivariate analysis showed that factors associated with satisfaction were the domain of attention (AOR= 3.77; 95%CI: 1.62-8.76), the quality of infrastructure (AOR=4.57; 95%CI: 1.61-12.93) and communication (AOR=6.30; 95%CI: 1.75-22.64).Conclusion: Patient satisfaction was generally still below the standard. Domains of responsiveness associated with patient satisfaction were the quality of infrastructure, level of attention and communication skills of service providers.

Background: Cervical cancer (CC) ranks the eighth most frequent cancer among Syrian women with crude incidence rates 1.4 per 100, 000 populations per year. This study aimed to test the acceptance of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine among mothers of schoolgirls in sixth-grade class. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted through a structured and self-administrated questionnaire. A total of 400 Syrian mothers of schoolgirls were selected randomly by the cluster sampling method in Aleppo city, Syria, in 2011. Significant variables from univariate analysis were included in an enter technique multiple logistic regression analysis. Results: The response rate was 86%. If the vaccine was free, 282 (81.7%) mothers would accept the vaccine for themselves and 236 (68.4%) for their daughters, respectively. However, the acceptance rate grossly decreased to 24.6% and 15.1%, respectively, if the vaccine was not provided free. The high cost of the HPV vaccine and lack of knowledge were the significant barriers for mothers' acceptance of the HPV vaccine. Protection of daughters and the trust with health authority were the main encouraging reasons to accept the HPV vaccine. Findings from logistic regression analysis revealed that the employed mothers (odds ratio = 2.4; 95% CI: 1.3–4.4), with a positive history of gynecological examination (OR = 2.1; 95% CI: 1.6–2.9) and having sound knowledge (OR = 2.4; 95% CI: 1.0–5.7) are independent factors related to the acceptance of the HPV vaccine for their daughters. Conclusion: The results from this study suggest that mothers from different cultural backgrounds, including Syrian mothers, are holding different beliefs on privacy and health that may affect their willingness to accept the HPV vaccine.

Abstract Objective The prognostic value of lymphovascular invasion (LVI), perineural invasion (PNI), and poor differentiation (PD) has been widely studied in different solid tumors. However, it was still controversial in adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG). We investigated the prognostic impact of combining LVI, PNI and PD for predicting the survival in patients with AEG.Methods We retrospectively investigated the data of patients who performed surgical resection of AEG on Guangdong Provincial Hospital and Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine from Jan. 2004 to Dec. 2018. According to the status of LVI, PNI and differentiation, pathological adverse features were divided into three groups: 0, 1 or 2 and 3 adverse features, their impact on prognosis was evaluated. Results Univariate analysis indicated pT, pN, LVI , PNI , PD and pathological adverse features were risk factors for both overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS), and multivariate analysis indicated that pathological adverse feature was independent risk factor for both OS and DSS. In subgroup analyses, adverse features were independent risk factor for DSS of stage II AEG but not for stage I or III.Conclusions The pathological adverse features were independent prognostic factors for AEG patients and they can help for further risk stratification in stage II patients.
