Objective To investigate the relationship between adipocyte fatty acid binding protein ( A-FABP) and obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome ( OSAHS) . Methods A total of 120 patients were recruited and underwent polysomnography. The groups were allocated according severity of OSAHS and obesity. Plasma A-FABP ( ng/mL) levels were measured by ELISA. The associations between A-FABP and AHI, BMI, LSaO2 , MSaO2 , neck collar, waist /hip ratio, insulin resistance index were analyzed. Results Plasma A-FAPB levels were significantly higher in the OSAHS group than in the non-OSAHS group of same weight, independent of age and gender. In the non-OSAHS group and the severe OSAHS group, plasma A-FABP levels of obesity persons were significantly higher than those without obesity, independent of age and gender. Plasma A-FAPB level was positively correlated with AHI, BMI, insulin resistance index, neck collar, SLT90% , and waist/hip ratio, but negatevely correlated with LSaO2 and MSaO2 in the OSAHS group. In the non-OSAHS group, plasma A-FAPB level was positively correlated with BMI and insulin resistance index. Conclusions Plasma A-FABP level is higher in patients with severe OSAHS. Plasma A-FABP level is positively correlated with BMI and insulin resistance index both in OSAHS and non-OSAHS patients.
Objective To evaluate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and malignant lymphoma by means of Meta-analysis. Methods Such databases as Web of Science, PubMed, EBbase, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and CBM were searched from the date of their establishment to April 2011 to collect the case control studies on the relationship between BMI and malignant lymphoma. Two researchers independently selected studies, extracted data and assessed the quality according to the inclusive and exclusive criteria, and then conducted Meta-analyses by using RevMan5.0 software for heterogeneity test and pooled OR calculation. Results Seven case control studies involving 8416 malignant lymphoma patients and 14760 other patients were included. The quality of all studies scored 4, indicating reliable quality. Meta-analyses of the low BMI, overweight and obesity population were OR=0.8, 95%CI 0.79 to 0.95, P=0.003; OR=1.04, 95%CI 0.98 to 1.11, P=0.16; and OR=1.22 95%CI 1.04 to 1.43, P=0.01, respectively. The stratified Meta-analysis on histological subtypes showed that obesity was associated with a significantly increased risk of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (OR=1.33 95%CI 1.18 to 1.50, Plt;0.000 01), but was not associated with the follicular lymphoma or small lymphocytic lymphoma/chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Conclusion These findings demonstrate that low BMI is associated with the decrease of malignant lymphoma, and obesity is an increasing risk of malignant lymphoma, especially, the diffuse large B cell lymphoma.
Objective To analyze the influence of the body mass index (BMI) and age on deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after the total hip arthroplasty(THA) or total knee arthroplasty(TKA) in Chinese patients who received prophylactic treatment for DVT. Methods We used a randomized clinical case-control study. From April 2004 to August 2004, weperformed THA and TKA for 95 patients (128 hips and knees). There were 27 men and 68 women with an average age of 60 years (range, 23-78) at surgery, and withan average BMI of 25.88 kg/m2 (range, 14.34-40.39) before surgery. All the patients were given low-molecular-weight heparin for 7-10 days pre-and postoperatively to prevent DVT. Color Doppler ultrasonography was used to detect DVT of bilateral lower extremities in all the patients before operation and 7-10 days after operation.The patients were divided into 4 groups according to their BMI:the non-obese group (BMI≤25.00 kg/m2), the overweight group (BMI, 25.01-27.00 kg/m2), the obese group (BMI, 27.01-30.00 kg/m2), and the morbidly obese group (BMIgt;30.00 kg/m2); and they were also divided into 4 groups according to their ages (≤40, 4160, 61.70, gt;70 yr) so as to analyze the influence of the BMI and age on DVT. Results The total incidence ofDVT in all the patients was 47.4% (45/95) and the incidence of proximal DVT was 3.2%. Forty-five patients had DVT and 50 patients had no DVT. The average BMI of the patients with DVT was significantly higher than that of the patients with no DVT (Plt;005). The overweight, obese, and morbidly obese patients had an odds ratio of 7.04, 4.8,and 9.6 for DVT compared with the nonobese patients (P＜0.05); but the obese group had a less risk than the other 2 groups.The 41-60, 61-70, and gt;70-year-old patients had an odds ratio of 24.0, 38.2, and 24.4 for DVT compared with the ≤40year-old patients (P＜0.05). Conclusion Obesity (BMIgt;25 kg/m2) and an increasing age (gt;40 yr) are identified as statistically significant risk factors for DVT after THA or TKA, and patients aged 61-70 years are more likely tohave DVT than the other patients. We should pay more attention to those obesity and aged patients when they are undergoing the total joint replacement, and we should give them enough prophylaxis and closely observe the symptoms in their bilateral lower extremities after operation, taking ultrasonography or venography to check DVT if necessary, so that we can give them prompt treatment and prevent fatal pulmonary thromboembolism.
Objectives To evaluate the effect of preoperative body mass index (BMI) on the perioperative and long-term results in esophageal squamous cell cancer patients. Method We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 503 patients with esophageal cancer between January 2001 and December 2009. There were 268 males and 235 females with the median age of 57 years ranging from 32-88 years. The associations between preoperative BMI and clinic patholo-gical characteristics were assessed by using the χ2 or Fisher's exact test. Survival analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier curves with log-rank tests. ResultsThe 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year overall survival rate for the entire cohort of patients was 64.0%, 49.0%, 43.0%, and 41.0% respectively. The occurance rates of weight loss, lymph node metastases, and poorly differentiated tumorigenesis represented statistically higher in patients with BMI≤18.5 kg/m2 than those in the patients with BMI>18.5 kg/m2 (P=0.026, P=0.006, P=0.048). For the cohort, the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed a significant trend toward a decreased survival in esophageal cancer patients with underweight (P=0.001). No statistical difference in overall complication, anastomotic leakage, and pulmonary complication rate was detected among the different BMI classes(P=0.162, P=0.590, P=0.376). Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that the drinking status, pathological stage, and underweight were the independent prognostic factors. ConclusionsAfter esophagectomy, BMI is not associated with the incidence of postoperative complications in patients. Patients with underweight are usually diagnosed with advanced stage, therefore tend to have poorer survivals than those with normal or over-weight.

MethodsA survey, including height, weight, blood pressure and pulse, was carried out in a general population of Chengdu. A total of 711 subjects (average age: 63.28±6.25 years; male: 57.8%) were recruited by random sampling method. Results：The proportion of overweight and obesity was about 45%. The hypertension prevalence rate was significantly positively correlated with BMI (Plt;0.01), and that was also seen in the level of SBP and DBP for the female (Plt;0.05). In logistic regression analysis adjusting for age, gender, waist, uric acid, the standardized OR for higher BMI (≥28.0 kg/m2) as a risk factor of hypertension was 5.140. Conclusion：The proportion of overweight and obesity was great in Chengdu area. BMI can affect the prevalence rate of hypertension and the level of blood pressure.
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of body mass index (BMI) on the outcomes of laparoscopic surgery for esophageal hiatal hernia.MethodsWe divided the patients who underwent hiatal hernioraphy and fundoplication surgery in our hospital between July 2013 and June 2018 into two groups according to the BMI: a group A, BMI ≥24 kg/m2, 77 patients, 41 males, 36 females, with an average age of 42 years; a group B: BMI<24 kg/m2, 63 patients, 38 males, 25 females, with an average age of 67 years, and the age, gender, type of hiatal hernia, score of subjective feeling of symptoms, level of reflux esophagitis were analyzed with the propensity score matching method. Fifty one patients were successfully matched in each group, and the curative effect of surgery was compared between the two groups.ResultsThere was no statistical difference in the type of surgery, intraoperative complications, postoperative complications, and hospital stay between the two groups (P>0.05). The operative time of the group A was significantly longer than that of the group B (P=0.023). There was no statistical difference between the two groups in postoperative recurrence (P=0.741).ConclusionThe operative time in overweight patients is significantly longer than that in the non-overweight patients, but it has no effect on the surgical outcomes and complications.
摘要:目的:探讨体重指数在急性胰腺炎病情发展中的影响与作用。方法:于2002年6月至2008年1月, 入选在本院消化科住院的所有急性胰腺炎患者,重症胰腺炎(SAP)患者192例,轻症胰腺炎(MAP)患者408例。分析入院时体重指数(BMI)与急性胰腺炎严重程度、预后的相关性。结果:随着体重指数的增加,重型胰腺炎的患病率逐渐升高(Plt;001);全身并发症的发生率逐渐升高(Plt;001);疾病死亡率也逐渐升高(Plt;001)。多元回归分析表明,BMI是导致急性胰腺炎患者死亡的重要危险因素。结论:不同的体重指数水平与急性胰腺炎的严重程度、预后密切相关,体重指数可作为急性胰腺炎严重程度、预后的预测指标。
Objective To explore the clinical effects of postoperative restrict rehydration on different body mass index (BMI) of patients with colorectal cancer. Methods From January 2008 to January 2009, the patients diagnosed definitely as colorectal cancer were analyzed retrospectively. The postoperative early rehabilitations were studied and compared in different fluid therapy with different BMI (underweight group, normal group, overweight group).Results The first defecation time, aerofluxus time and ambulation time of the fluid restriction group were significantly earlier than those of the tradition therapy group (Plt;0.05), and postoperative in-hospital time was also less (Plt;0.05). However, the differences of early postoperative rehabilitation among underweight group, normal group and overweight group in the tradition therapy group and fluid restriction group had no statistical significance (Pgt;0.05). The complications such as pulmonary infection, anastomotic leakage, intestinal obstruction and wound dehiscence in the fluid restriction group were significantly lower than those in the tradition therapy group (Plt;0.05). In the tradition therapy group, the incidences of anastomotic leakage and wound dehiscence in overweight group were significantly higher than those in the underweight and normal group (Plt;0.05). The rate of postoperative complications among underweight group, normal group and overweight group in the fluid restriction group had no statistical significance (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion Postoperative restrict rehydration for overweight colorectal cancer patients has a good clinical effect, which can promote the early postoperative rehabilitation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the existence of persistent systemic inflammation (PSI) among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in local areas, and identify the risk factors of PSI.MethodsA total of 150 patients with stable COPD and 70 non-smoking healthy individuals were enrolled in our study. The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-18 and activin A in serum were detected. Pulmonary function was tested, and basic information of the candidates was acquired at the same time. All of the patients were followed-up at 6 months, 12 months and 24 months for two years. The value at the 95th percentile of the concentration of inflammation markers of non-smoking healthy samples was defined as the threshold value, also known as normal ceiling limit value. Existence of PSI was defined as the condition that two or more kinds of inflammation markers exceed the threshold at each follow-up visit. The COPD patients were categorized into three classes, in which there were respectively none, one and two or more kinds of inflammation markers with over-threshold values. Based on a 2-year followup, patients with two or more kinds of inflammation markers exceeding threshold values were classified as PSI subgroup, and patients without inflammation markers exceeding threshold values as never inflamed subgroup.ResultsThere were 22 patients (14.7%) had persistent systemic inflammation, whereas 60 patients (40.0%) did not show evidence of systemic inflammation. Single factor analysis of two subgroups showed that the patients in PSI subgroup had higher body mass index (BMI), higher smoking index, higher prior frequency of time to exacerbation, higher proportion of patients at high risk for recurrent acute exacerbation during 2-year followup, higher SGRQ total score, lower FEV1%pred and lower FEV1/FVC ratio significantly (all P<0.05). Higher BMI and higher risk of recurrent acute exacerbation were independent risk factors leading to PSI, of which the higher risk of recurrent acute exacerbation had a more important effect on PSI.ConclusionsSome COPD patients have PSI in this region, which may constitute a novel COPD phenotype (called systemic inflammatory phenotype). Higher BMI and higher risk of recurrent acute exacerbation are independent risk factors leading to PSI. Individualized treatment to prevent acute exacerbation and appropriate weight control may be a better intervention for these patients.
