Objective To explore the correlation between metabolic syndrome and renal function in physical examination population. Methods The data of individual physical examination in West China Hospital from March to April 2015 was collected. Body mass index (BMI), glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were calculated, and the correlation between metabolic syndrome and renal function was analyzed by using SPSS 16.0 software. Results A total of 10 098 individuals were included, of which 1 110 were MS patients were included. The results of analysis showed that, the levels of uric acid, cholesterol, urea and creatinine in MS group were significantly higher than those in non-MS group, and the level of GFR was significantly lower than that in non-MS group (P < 0.05). Renal function in patients with abnormal systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose (FBG), low density lipoprotein, total cholesterol, triglycerides, uric acid index were significantly higher than those in normal renal function group, and high density lipoprotein cholesterol was significantly lower than that of normal renal function group (P < 0.01). Conclusion Elevated levels of BMI, blood pressure, glucose, uric acid are correlated with the decrease of GFR, and metabolic syndrome is an important risk factor of renal dysfunction.
ObjectiveTo investigate Chinese psychiatrists' mental health. MethodsLiteratures published from January 1989 to March 31, 2013 were searched through Chinese network databases (CNKI, Weipu, Wanfang) and English network database (OVID). Factors of Symptom checklist-90 (SCL-90) were extracted and compared with Chinese norm. These were analyzed by Meta analysis method. ResultsEleven articles were obtained and analyzed, including 725 psychiatrists. The research illustrated that the differences between psychiatrists and Chinese norm of somatization[WMD=0.19, 95%CI (0.05, 0.33), P=0.008], depression[WMD=0.25, 95%CI (0.06, 0.43), P=0.009], anxiety[WMD=0.28, 95%CI (0.09, 0.47), P=0.004], hostility[WMD=0.15, 95%CI (0.01, 0.30), P=0.03], and phobia[WMD=0.11, 95%CI (0.02, 0.20), P=0.02] were significant, while the other 4 factors were not significant (P>0.05). ConclusionPsychiatrists' mental health is poor and intervention measures need to be adopted to improve psychiatrists' mental health.
ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) in health check-up population of West China Hospital of Sichuan University from 2011 to 2012 and to discuss the relationship between SCH and metabolic syndrome (MS). MethodsThose who received thyroid function tests and health examination in the West China Hospital of Sichuan University from 2011 to 2012 were enrolled in the study. The data of medical history, blood pressure, height, weight, thyroid function, TG, HDL-C, FPG were collected. All data were analyzed by SPSS 18.0 software. ResultsA total of 11 976 persons (7 488 male and 4 488 female) received thyroid function tests. There were 1 820 persons (884 males and 936 females, 15.20%) who suffered from SCH. The SCH prevalence was significantly higher in females (20.86%) than that in males (11.81%) (P < 0.01). The people over 60 years old had the highest SCH prevalence. There were 1 145 persons (1 005 males and 140 females) suffered from MS among all 11 976 persons. The MS prevalence was significantly higher in males (13.42%) than that in females (3.12%) (P < 0.01). The SCH prevalence of the MS group was higher, which in the health group was lower (P < 0.01). The TSH level in the MS group was higher, while it was lower in the health group. ConclusionThe prevalence of SCH is higher in health check-up population; and SCH apparently increases the risk of morbidity of MS.
