Abstract
Low-dose computed tomography screening for lung cancer is currently targeted at heavy smokers or those with a family history of lung cancer. This study aimed to identify risk factors for lung cancer in individuals who do not meet the current lung cancer screening criteria as stipulated by the Taiwan Health Promotion Agency's low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening policy. A cohort analysis was conducted on 12,542 asymptomatic healthy subjects aged 20-80 years old who voluntarily underwent LDCT scans from January 2016 to December 2021. Logistic regression demonstrated that several factors, including age over 55 years, female gender, a body mass index (BMI) less than 23, a previous history of respiratory diseases such as tuberculosis or obstructive respiratory diseases (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD], asthma), and previous respiratory symptoms such as cough or dyspnea, were associated with high-risk lung radiology scores according to LDCT scans. These findings indicate that risk-based assessments using primary data and questionnaires to identify risk factors other than heavy smoking and a family history of lung cancer may improve the efficiency of lung cancer screening.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Early enteral nutrition (EN) is a nutritional strategy for reducing the incidence of in-hospital infections. However, the benefits of early EN, under targeted temperature management (TTM) in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), remain unclear. We aimed to evaluate the effect of early EN on the infective complications of OHCA patients who underwent TTM. METHODS We retrospectively searched the clinical databases of two adult emergency tertiary referral hospitals in southern Taiwan and identified patients admitted for OHCA who underwent TTM between 2017 and 2022. The 85 enrolled patients were divided into two groups based on timing: early EN (EN within 48 h of admission) and delayed EN (EN > 48 h after admission). Clinical outcomes of 7-day infective complications between the two groups were analyzed. RESULTS Early EN was provided to 57 (67 %) of 85 patients and delayed EN was provided to the remaining 28 (33 %) patients. No significant differences in baseline patient characteristics were observed between the two groups. In addition, no differences in clinical outcomes were observed, except that the early EN group had a lower 7-day bacteremia rate (5.3 % vs. 26.9 %, p = 0.013). Gram-negative bacteria were the major pathogen among the 7-day infective complications. CONCLUSION In OHCA patients treated with TTM, early EN was associated with a lower 7-day bacteremia rate. Furthermore, the application of early EN in this population was well tolerated without significant adverse events.

Abstract
Importance Previous investigations have found that time to positive blood culture (TTP) is a prognostic factor for clinical outcomes. In fact, what the emergency physician sees from the medical information system is TAT (turnaround time) defined as time required to post a bacterial culture report. We propose a definition of blood culture TAT that more closely aligns with clinical considerations by measuring the time from starting specimen culture to the release of an official blood culture report.We were curious to know whether the duration of TAT is as intricately linked to the prognosis of bacteremia as TTP. Objectives To examine the association between TAT and outcomes of adult patients who present to the ED with community acquired bacteremia. Design Setting, and Participants: This retrospective study utilized electronic medical records from Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital (KVGH), a 1000-bed tertiary medical center in Taiwan. Patients were adults aged 18 years and older who presented to ED (Emergency department) for initial diagnosis of community acquired bacteremia from January 1, 2016 to March 31, 2021. Data analysis was performed from December 2022 to January 2023.Main outcomes and measures.The primary outcomes included mortality in the ED, all-cause in-hospital mortality, length of hospital stay, and all-cause 30-day mortality in relation to the individual first report of positive blood culture TAT. Results A total of 4011 eligible patients with bacteremia were evaluated, of which 207 patients had a blood culture TAT of ≤48 h. The overall 30-day all-cause mortality rate was 13%. Contrary to expectation, no statistically significant differences were observed in clinical prognosis between the TAT groups (≤48 versus >48 h). Subgroup analyses indicated that the length of TAT did not have a significant effect on clinical prognosis in patients who underwent lactate level assessment. Furthermore, no difference in clinical outcome was noted between TAT groups (≤48 versus >48 h) in terms of Gram-negative bacilli or Gram-positive cocci bacteremia. However, in patients with delayed antibiotic treatment (>3 h), a shorter TAT was significantly associated with a fatal outcome. Conclusion In adults with community-acquired bacteremia, this study did not observe a significant association between blood culture TAT and clinical prognosis, except in cases of delayed antibiotic treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE Boarding, the period in which a patient spends in the emergency department (ED) before admission, may be hazardous to critically ill patients, particularly the elderly. This study investigated the associations of boarding with hospital course, prognosis, and medical expenditure in older patients. METHODS From January 2019 to December 2021, the medical records of older patients (age ≥ 65) visiting the ED of a tertiary referral hospital who were admitted to the medical intensive care unit (ICU) were retrospectively reviewed. Eligible patients were categorized into two groups according to boarding time with a cutoff set at 6 h. Primary outcomes were in-hospital mortality, ICU/hospital length of stay, and total/average hospitalization cost. Subgroup analyses considered age and disease type. RESULTS Among 1318 ICU admissions from the ED, 36% were subjected to boarding for over 6 h. Prolonged boarding had a longer ICU (8.9 ± 8.8 vs. 11.2 ± 12.2 days, P < .001) and hospital (17.8 ± 20.1 vs. 22.8 ± 23.0 days, P < .001) stay, higher treatment cost (10.4 ± 13.9 vs. 13.2 ± 16.5 thousands of USD, P = .001), and hospital mortality (19% vs. 25% P = .020). Multivariate regression analysis showed a longer ICU stay in patients aged 65-79 (8.3 ± 8.4 vs. 11.8 ± 14.2 days, P < .001) and cardiology patients (6.9 ± 8.4 vs. 8.8 ± 9.7 days, P = .001). Besides, the treatment cost was also higher for both groups (10.4 ± 14.6 vs. 13.7 ± 17.7 thousands of USD, P = .004 and 8.4 ± 14.0 vs. 11.7 ± 16.6 thousands of USD, P < .001, respectively). CONCLUSION Extended ED boarding for critically ill medical patients over 65 years old was associated with negative outcomes, including longer ICU/hospital stays, higher treatment costs, and hospital mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple pretreatment systemic inflammatory markers (SIMs) have been reported as predictors of pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST) in patients with breast cancer (BC). However, the most significant SIM remains to be conclusively identified, and variations among different molecular subtypes remain unknown. The objective of the study was to identify the most significant SIM in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive BC, to construct a pCR-predictive nomogram combining it with other clinicopathologic factors, and to evaluate its prognostic value on survival. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the findings for 240 patients with stage I-III HER2-positive BC who underwent NST and subsequent surgery at Kaohsiung and Taichung Veterans General Hospital from 2011 to 2021. Clinicopathologic factors were analyzed by stepwise logistic regression with backward selection. The data were used to construct a nomogram plot for determining the pCR probability. Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank test were used to evaluate disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS Among the pretreatment SIMs, only the systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) was significantly related to pCR, with an optimal cutoff value of 1.27 × 10 9 /L. Stepwise logistic analyses indicated that clinical N stage, HER2 immunohistochemistry score, hormone receptor status, targeted therapy regimen, and SIRI were independent predictors of pCR, with an area under the curve of 0.722. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test and calibration curve revealed that the predictive ability was a good fit to actual observations. A nomogram was constructed based on the logistic model. The external validation of the model also revealed satisfactory discrimination and calibration. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients with SIRI <1.27 had longer DFS and OS. CONCLUSION Pretreatment SIRI <1.27 is predictive of pCR, DFS, and OS in HER2-positive BC. Our nomogram could efficiently predict pCR and facilitate clinical decision-making before neoadjuvant treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To describe the population and area distribution differences in the prevalence of urinary incontinence in middle-aged and elderly adults in 10 areas in China. Methods: A total of 24 913 participants aged 45-95 years who completed the third resurvey of China Kadoorie Biobank during 2020-2021 were included. The prevalence of urinary incontinence was assessed by an interviewer-administered questionnaire, and urinary incontinence was classified as only stress urinary incontinence, only urgency urinary incontinence and mixed urinary incontinence. The prevalence of urinary incontinence and its subtypes were reported by sex, age and area, and the severity of urinary incontinence and treatment were described. Results: The average age of the participants was (65.4±9.1) years. According to the seventh national census data in 2020, the age-standardized prevalence rates of urinary incontinence was 25.4% in women and 7.0% in men. The age-standardized prevalence rates of only stress, only urgency and mixed incontinence were 1.7%, 4.2% and 1.2% in men and 13.5%, 5.8% and 6.1% in women, respectively. The prevalence rates of urinary incontinence and all subtypes in men and the prevalence of urinary incontinence and all subtypes except only stress urinary incontinence in women all increased with age (P<0.001). After adjusting for age, the prevalence of urinary incontinence in both men and women were higher in rural area than in urban area (P<0.001). The treatment rates in men and women with urinary incontinence were 15.4% and 8.5%, respectively. Conclusions: The prevalence of urinary incontinence was high in middle-aged and elderly adults in China, and the prevalence rate was higher in women than in men, but the treatment rate of urinary incontinence was low.

Abstract
Objective: To describe the epidemiological characteristics of intakes of different types of preserved vegetables in participants from the China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB). Methods: The CKB project conducted baseline survey, the first resurvey, and the second resurvey during 2004-2008, 2008, and 2013-2014, respectively. According to the average intake levels of salted and sour pickled vegetables in the second resurvey, the 10 survey areas were classified as the area where people mainly consumed salted vegetables, the area where people mainly consumed sour pickled vegetables, and the area where people rarely consumed preserved vegetables. For the first two areas, logistic regression model was used to describe the temporal trends and population distribution of preserved vegetable intake and analyze the distribution of other dietary factors. Results: The area where people mainly consumed salted vegetables included Qingdao, Harbin, Suzhou, and Zhejiang (baseline participant number: 204 036), while the area where people mainly consumed sour pickled vegetables included Gansu and Sichuan (baseline participant number: 105 573). In the area where people mainly consumed salted vegetables, the average intake frequencies of preserved vegetables was 3.1, 3.3, and 1.8 days/week in the baseline survey, the first resurvey, and the second resurvey, respectively, showing a declining trend (P<0.001). Similarly, the average intake frequencies of preserved vegetables were 2.8, 2.7, and 1.6 days/week in the baseline survey, the first resurvey and the second resurvey in the area where people mainly consumed sour pickled vegetables (P<0.001). At baseline survey, the married and those had lower education level tended to have more preserved vegetable intakes in both areas (P<0.001). In the area where people mainly consumed salted vegetables, the elderly had higher frequency of preserved vegetable intake (P<0.001), which was converse in the area where people mainly consumed sour pickled vegetables. In the participants with higher frequency of preserved vegetable intake, more people consumed spicy food daily and preferred salty food (P<0.05). Conclusions: The area and population specific differences in the type and frequency of preserved vegetable intake were observed in adults in the CKB project in China. Besides, the average level of preserved vegetable intake showed a declining trend. Preserved vegetable intake might be associated with other dietary habits.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the associations of sociodemographic characteristics and lifestyle factors with longevity status in older adults in China. Methods: After excluding those born after 31st December 1938, a total of 51 870 older adults from the China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB) were included. The attained age was defined according to the survival age or age on 31st December 2018. According to the attained age, the old persons were categorized into non-longevity (died before age 80 years) and longevity (attained age ≥80 years). The longevity group was further divided into two groups: longevity with death occurring before 2019, and longevity and survival to 2019. The information about socio-demographic characteristics and lifestyles was collected at the 2004-2008 baseline survey. Multinomial logistic regression models were used to analyze the associations between exposure factors and outcomes by taking the non-longevity group as the reference group. Results: A total of 51 870 older adults aged 65-79 years in the baseline survey were included for analysis. During a follow-up for (10.2±3.5) years, 38 841 participants were longevity, and 30 354 participants still survived at the end of 2018. Compared to men, rural populations, non-married individuals, those with an annual household income of less than 10 000 yuan, and those with education levels of primary school or below, the adjusted ORs(95%CI) for longevity and survival to 2019 in women, urban residents, married individuals, those with annual household incomes ≥20 000 yuan, and those with education levels of college or university were 1.68 (1.58-1.78), 1.69 (1.61-1.78), 1.15 (1.10-1.21), 1.44 (1.36-1.53), and 1.32 (1.19-1.48), respectively. The OR (95%CI) for longevity and survival to 2019 was 1.09 (1.08-1.10) for those with an increase of 4 MET-hour/day in total physical activity level. With those who never or almost never smoked, had no alcohol drinking every week, had normal weight (BMI: 18.5-23.9 kg/m2), and WC <85 cm (man)/<80 cm (woman) as the reference groups, the ORs(95%CI) of longevity and survival to 2019 were 0.64 (0.60-0.69) for those smoking ≥20 cigarettes per day, 1.29 (1.14-1.46) for those with alcohol drinking every week, 1.13 (1.01-1.26) for those with pure alcohol drinking <30 g per day, 0.56 (0.52-0.61) for those being underweight, 1.27 (1.19-1.36) for those being overweight, 1.23 (1.11-1.36) for those with obesity, and 0.86 (0.79-0.93) for those with central obesity. Further stratified analysis by WC was performed. In the older adults with WC <85 cm (man)/<80 cm (woman), the ORs (95%CI) of longevity and survival was 1.80 (1.69-1.92) for those with each 5 kg/m2 increase in BMI and 1.02 (0.96-1.08) for those with WC ≥85 cm (man)/≥80 cm (woman). There was a statistically significant difference in the association between BMI and longevity between the two WC groups (interaction test P<0.001). Conclusion: This study showed that women, the married, those with higher socioeconomic status and education level, and those with healthy lifestyles were more likely to achieve longevity.

Abstract
Objective: To detect the prevalence of mosaic loss of chromosome Y in adult men in ten study areas in China, describe the epidemiological distribution of mosaic loss of chromosome Y (mLOY) carriers and assess its prospective association with lung cancer. Methods: Based on the data from baseline survey, genetic analysis and follow-up (as of December 31, 2018) from China Kadoorie Biobank, we used Mosaic Chromosomal Alterations pipeline to detect mLOY carriers in 10 areas in China and described the epidemiological characteristics of mLOY carriers in adult men, including age, area distribution, lifestyle and disease history. We used multivariate logistic regression model to identify the potential relevant factor of mLOY. Cox proportional hazard regression model was fitted to assess the prospective association of mLOY with lung cancer. Stratification analysis were conducted to evaluate the potential modification effects of smoking and age. We also conducted mediation analysis to assess the mediating effect of mLOY in the association between smoking and lung cancer. Results: A total of 42 859 adult men were included in our analysis, in whom 2 458 mLOY carriers were detected (5.7%). The detection rate increased with age (P<0.05). The detection rate was higher in urban area (7.3%±0.2%) than that in rural area (4.7%±0.1%). The results of logistic regression analysis indicated that smoking might be a risk factor for the detection of mLOY (OR=1.49, 95%CI:1.36-1.64). After follow-up for average 11.1 years, 1 041 lung cancer cases were observed. The prospective analysis showed that mLOY carriers had an increased risk for lung cancer by 24% compared with non-mLOY carriers (HR=1.24, 95%CI:1.01-1.52) and expanded mLOY carriers (mLOY cell proportion ≥10%) had an increased risk for lung cancer by 50% (HR=1.50, 95%CI:1.13-2.00). Stratification analysis showed no modification effects of smoking and age in the association between mLOY and lung cancer (interaction P>0.05). Mediation analysis showed that mLOY could be a mediating factor in the association between smoking and lung cancer, the estimated effect was 0.09 (0.01-0.17). Conclusions: There were significant differences in the detection rate of mLOY in adult men with different social-economic characteristics and lifestyles in ten areas in China. Besides, mLOY carriers, especially expanded mLOY carriers, had increased risk for lung cancer and mLOY might be a mediating factor in the association between smoking and lung cancer.

Abstract
Due to the limited reliability of traditional self-completed questionnaire, the accuracy of measurement of physical behaviors (physical activity, sedentary behavior and sleep) is not high. With the development of technology, wearable devices (e.g. accelerometer) can be used for more accurate measurement of physical behaviors and have great application potential in large-scale research. However, the data of objective measurement of physical behaviors from large-scale cohort research in Asian populations is still limited. Between August 2020 and December 2021, the 3rd resurvey of China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB) project used Axivity AX3 wrist triaxial accelerometer to collect the data of participants' daily activity and sleep status. A total of 20 370 participants from 10 study areas were included in the study, in whom 65.2% were women, and the age was (65.4±9.1) years. The participants' physical activity level varied greatly in different study areas. The objective measurement of participants' physical behaviors in CKB project has provided valuable resources for the description of 24-hour patterns of physical behaviors and evaluation of the health effect of physical activity, sedentary behavior and sleep as well as their association with diseases in the elderly in China.

Abstract
Active response to the challenges posed by aging has been established as a national strategy, accompanied by continuous refinement of policies concerning aging work. Decreased digestive system function is commonly present in the natural aging process of older people, which directly affects their food intake, digestion, and absorption, leading to decreased appetite and various forms of malnutrition. It is also a risk factor for age-related diseases such as sarcopenia, osteoporosis, cognitive impairment, and frailty. Nutrition is the foundation for achieving healthy aging. In order to meet the nutritional needs of the elderly population, the Nutrition and Healthy Aging Working Group at the Shanghai Junshi Institute of Life Sciences introduced the concept of "elderly-oriented food" in 2022. In the future, there is an urgent need for comprehensive collaborative efforts to conduct a series of investigations focused on the dietary habits and nutritional requirements of older individuals, in order to evaluate the level of awareness, genuine demands, dietary preferences, and capabilities of selection regarding to the elderly-oriented food. Simultaneously, it is recommended to introduce "Guidelines for the production and application of elderly-oriented food" at the national level to promote the sustainable and orderly development in food industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The occurrence of postoperative complications within 30 days (PC1M) of a craniotomy for the removal of a primary malignant brain tumor has been associated with a poor prognosis. However, it is still unclear to early predict the occurrence of PC1M. This study aimed to identify the potential perioperative predictors of PC1M from its preoperative, intraoperative, and 24-h postoperative parameters. METHODS Patients who had undergone craniotomy for primary malignant brain tumor (World Health Organization grades III and IV) from January 2011 to December 2020 were enrolled from a databank of Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan. The patients were classified into PC1M and nonPC1M groups. PC1M was defined according to the classification by Landriel et al. as any deviation from an uneventful 30-day postoperative course. In both groups, data regarding the baseline characteristics and perioperative parameters of the patients, including a new marker-kinetic estimated glomerular filtration rate, were collected. Logistic regression was used to analyze the predictability of the perioperative parameters. RESULTS The PC1M group included 41 of 95 patients. An American Society of Anesthesiologists score of > 2 (aOR, 3.17; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.19-8.45; p = 0.021), longer anesthesia duration (aOR, 1.16; 95% CI, 0.69-0.88; p < 0.001), 24-h postoperative change in hematocrit by > - 4.8% (aOR, 3.45; 95% CI, 1.22-9.73; p = 0.0019), and 24-h postoperative change in kinetic estimated glomerular filtration rate of < 0 mL/min (aOR, 3.99; 95% CI, 1.52-10.53; p = 0.005) were identified as independent risk factors for PC1M via stepwise logistic regression analysis. When stratified according to the age of ≥ 65 years (OR, 11.55; 95% CI, 1.30-102.79; p = 0.028), the reduction of kinetic estimated glomerular filtration rate was more robustly associated with a higher risk of PC1M. CONCLUSIONS Four parameters were demonstrated to significantly influence the risk of PC1M in patients undergoing primary malignant brain tumor removal. Measuring and verifying these markers, especially kinetic estimated glomerular filtration rate, would help early recognition of PC1M risk in clinical care.

Abstract
During tumorigenesis, urokinase (uPA) and uPA receptor (uPAR) play essential roles in mediating pathological progression in many cancers. To understand the crosstalk between the uPA/uPAR signaling and cancer, as well as to decipher their cellular pathways, we proposed to use cancer driver genes to map out the uPAR signaling. In the study, an integrated pharmaceutical bioinformatics approach that combined modulator identification, driver gene ontology networking, protein targets prediction and networking, pathway analysis and uPAR modulator screening platform construction was employed to uncover druggable targets in uPAR signaling for developing a novel anti-cancer modality. Through these works, we found that uPAR signaling interacted with 10 of 21 KEGG cancer pathways, indicating the important role of uPAR in mediating intracellular cancerous signaling. Furthermore, we verified that receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and ribosomal S6 kinases (RSKs) could serve as signal hubs to relay uPAR-mediated cellular functions on cancer hallmarks such as angiogenesis, proliferation, migration and metastasis. Moreover, we established an in silico virtual screening platform and a uPAR-driver gene pair rule for identifying potential uPAR modulators to combat cancer. Altogether, our results not only elucidated the complex networking between uPAR modulation and cancer but also provided a paved way for developing new chemical entities and/or re-positioning clinically used drugs against cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to compare the efficacy of mycophenolic acid (MPA) and cyclophosphamide (CYC) for treating pediatric lupus nephritis (pLN). METHODS Data on patients with pLN class III, IV, and V, diagnosed by renal biopsy, were collected from the Databank of Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital between February 2005 and December 2020. The study included 31 pLN patients. Of these, 15 received MPA (MPA group) and 16 received CYC (CYC group). Systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index score, laboratory findings, complete remission (CR), and partial remission (PR) were assessed at 6, 12, and 24 months. RESULTS In the MPA group, CR occurred in 7/15 (47%) patients at month 6 and in 11/15 (73%) at months 12 and 24. In the CYC group, CR was reached in 5/16 (31%) patients at month 6, in 8/16 (50%) at month 12, and in 9/16 (56%) at month 24. PR was seen in 3/15 (20%) patients in the MPA group and in 3/16 (19%) in the CYC group at month 24. The cumulative probability of CR and PR showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups. However, the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) improved significantly in the MPA group at months 6, 12 and 24 compared to that in the CYC group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The efficacy of MPA is similar to that of CYC for pLN treatment, with MPA providing a significant improvement in eGFR after pLN induction therapy at months 6,12 and 24.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) are the primary cause of pediatric chronic kidney disease. Maternal body mass index (BMI) before pregnancy, pregestational diabetic mellitus (DM), and gestational diabetic mellitus (GDM) are potential modifiable risk factors for CAKUT in offspring. METHODS In this case control study, 4619 neonates were enrolled during 2012-2020 from Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital in Taiwan. Maternal risk factors before and during pregnancy were compared in children with and without CAKUT. The yearly incidence of CAKUT in offspring and maternal overweight were recorded. RESULTS In total, 73 (1.6%) cases of CAKUT in offspring were identified. Maternal overweight before pregnancy (BMI ≥ 24 kg/m2) was an independent risk factor for CAKUT in offspring. No associations of pregestational DM and GDM with CAKUT in offspring were observed. The incidence rates of CAKUT and maternal obesity have increased in the past 10 years. CONCLUSIONS Maternal obesity before pregnancy is associated with CAKUT in offspring and should be addressed to ensure better outcomes. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Abstract
Glucose homeostasis in the body is determined by four diabetes factors (DFs): insulin resistance (IR), glucose effectiveness (GE), and the two phases of insulin secretion-first phase (FPIS) and second phase (SPIS). Previous research points to a correlation between elevated levels of gamma-glutamyl transferase (γGT) and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. This study investigates the relationship between γGT and the four DFs in older Chinese individuals. This study involved 2644 men and 2598 women, all of whom were relatively healthy Chinese individuals aged 60 years or more. The DFs were calculated using formulas developed by our research, based on demographic data and factors related to metabolic syndrome. Pearson's correlation was utilized to assess the relationship between γGT and the four DFs. The findings suggested a positive correlation between γGT and IR, FPIS, and SPIS, but a negative correlation with GE in men. Among women, only SPIS and GE were significantly correlated with γGT. The factors showed varying degrees of correlation, listed in descending order as follows: GE, SPIS, FPIS, and IR. This study confirms a significant correlation between γGT and DFs in this population, highlighting the noteworthy role of GE.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the associations of meeting intensive systolic blood pressure (SBP) control goals with risk for incident cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases among the adult hypertensive patients in China. Methods: We used data from adult hypertensive patients from the China Kadoorie Biobank. logistic regression models evaluated the influencing factors of meeting intensive and standard SBP control goals. Cox proportional hazard models evaluated the associations between meeting intensive vs. standard SBP control goals and risk for incident cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Results: A total of 3 628 hypertensive patients who reported continuous medication use were included in this study, of which 5.0% of the participants met the goals of intensive SBP control (≤130 mmHg). Participants with higher educational attainment (OR=2.36,95%CI: 1.32-4.04), healthier diet (OR=2.09,95%CI: 1.45-2.96), daily intake of fresh fruit (OR=1.67,95%CI: 1.17-2.36) and combination treatment (OR=1.82,95%CI: 1.03-3.09) were more likely to meet intensive SBP control goal after adjustment of age, sex and urban/rural areas. During an average follow-up of (10.0±3.7) years, 1 278 cases of composite cardiovascular outcome were recorded. This study did not find a statistical correlation between achieving the goal of enhanced SBP control and the occurrence of composite cardiovascular and cerebrovascular outcomes (HR=0.89, 95%CI: 0.63-1.25). For major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), cerebrovascular diseases, stroke, and ischemic stroke, we observed a trend of decrease in risk of outcomes with more intensive SBP control (trend test P<0.05). Conclusions: We observed decreased risk for MACE and cerebrovascular diseases with more intensive SBP control. However, there was no significant risk reduction for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases when meeting the intensive SBP control goal, compared to the standard SBP control goal.

Abstract
Objective: To describe the epidemiological distribution characteristics of peripheral blood mosaic chromosomal alteration (mCA) in community adults aged 30-79 years in 10 regions of China. Methods: A total of 100 297 participants with complete baseline information (demographic characteristics, lifestyle, physical examination, etc.) and genotyping data of blood-derived DNA in ten regions of the China Kadoorie Biobank study were included. The mCAs were detected with the Mosaic Chromosomal Alterations pipeline, and logistic regression models were used to compare the differences in the detection rate of mCAs in different regions and populations. Results: A total of 5 810 mCA carriers were detected, with the detection rate of 5.8%. The standardized detection rate was 5.1%. The baseline detection rate of mCA increased with age, which were 3.4%, 5.0%, and 9.4% in those aged 30-, 51-, and >60 years, respectively (trend test P<0.001). A more significant proportion of mCAs were found in men (8.0%) than women (4.0%), as well as in urban areas (6.4%) than in rural areas (5.3%), the difference was significant (P<0.001). After adjusting for age and gender, the detection rate of mCA was higher in current smokers or people quitting smoking due to illness and people with low physical activity level, and the mCA detection rate was lower in obesy people (5.3%) than that in people with normal body weight (5.9%) (P=0.006). Conclusions: The detection rate of mCAs varied with region and population in community adults aged 30-79 years in 10 regions of China. The study results might contribute to the molecular identification of aging populations and guide precision prevention of age-related diseases such as cancers.

Abstract
Objective: A Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was performed to assess the relationship between tea consumption and cancer. Methods: There were 100 639 participants with the information of gene sequencing of whole genome in the China Kadoorie Biobank. After excluding those with cancer at baseline survey, a total of 100 218 participants were included in this study. The baseline information about tea consumption were analyzed, including daily tea consumption or not, cups of daily tea consumption, and grams of daily tea consumption. We used the two-stage least square method to evaluate the associations between three tea consumption variables and incidence of cancer and some subtypes, including stomach cancer, liver and intrahepatic bile ducts cancer, colorectal cancer, tracheobronchial and lung cancer, and female breast cancer. Multivariable MR and analysis only among nondrinkers were used to control the impact of alcohol consumption. Sensitivity analyses were also performed, including inverse variance weighting, weighted median, and MR-Egger. Results: We used 54, 42, and 28 SNPs to construct non-weighted genetic risk scores as instrumental variables for daily tea consumption or not, cups of daily tea consumption, and grams of daily tea consumption, respectively. During an average of (11.4±3.0) years of follow-up, 6 886 cases of cancer were recorded. After adjusting for age, age2, sex, region, array type, and the first 12 genetic principal components, there were no significant associations of three tea consumption variables with the incidence of cancer and cancer subtypes. Compared with non-daily tea drinkers, the HR (95%CI) of daily tea drinkers for cancer and some subtypes, including stomach cancer, liver and intrahepatic bile ducts cancer, colorectal cancer, tracheobronchial and lung cancer, and female breast cancer, are respectively 0.99 (0.78-1.26), 1.17 (0.58-2.36), 0.86 (0.40-1.84), 0.85 (0.42-1.73), 1.39 (0.85-2.26) and 0.63 (0.28-1.38). After controlling the impact of alcohol consumption and performing multiple sensitivity analyses, the results were similar. Conclusion: There is no causal relationship between tea consumption and risk of cancer in population in China.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adolescents has increased rapidly in recent decades. However, the role of adipokines on pathophysiology in young-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus (YDM) is not clear. In this article, we explored the relationships between the adipokines (visfatin and retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4)) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) components in both YDM and late-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus (ODM). Materials and Methods: There were 36 patients with YDM (23.6 ± 4.8 years) and 36 patients with ODM (54.3 ± 10.1 years) enrolled. Visfatin, RBP4, and MetS components were measured. The relationships between visfatin, RBP4 and MetS components were assessed in YDM and ODM. Results: The visfatin, but not the RPB4 level, was significantly higher in YDM than in ODM. After adjusting for age and body mass index, visfatin was not related to any MetS components except that there was a negative correlation with fasting plasma glucose (FPG). As for RPB4, triglyceride was found to be positively and FPG negatively related to RBP4 in YDM. However, in ODM, the only positive relationship that existed was between RBP4 and diastolic blood pressure. Conclusions: In conclusion, both visfatin and RBP4 had certain roles in diabetes and MetS although their relationships were different in YDM and ODM. Further studies are needed to explore their physiological and pathological effects in glucose metabolism.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the spectrum of patients who developed recurrent acute transfusion reactions (TRs) and to characterize these recurrent TRs. METHODS This retrospective study included patients who developed ≥2 acute TRs between April 2017 and March 2020 in a tertiary medical centre. RESULTS Among 216 TRs that occurred after 2024 transfusions in 87 patients, 66 (75.9%) patients reported a history of transfusions before the first TR and 70 (80.5%) patients received further transfusions after the last TR; with the same type of TR and reaction to the same type of blood product observed in 59 (67.8%) patients and 56 (64.4%) patients, respectively. TRs were most commonly associated with packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusions and a febrile non-haemolytic transfusion reaction (FNHTR) was the most common type of TR. However, leukocyte reduced (LR) PRBCs were less common than LR platelets among transfusions with TR (22.7% [27/119] versus 75.0% [57/76], respectively) and premedication was prescribed before 196 of 216 (90.7%) transfusions with TR. CONCLUSION Most patients with recurrent TRs received repeated transfusions in addition to transfusions with TR. Instead of considering premedication, an increase in the use of LR might be the strategy to reduce the recurrence of TR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although cognitive-behavioral therapy is the first-line treatment for insomnia, pharmacotherapy is often prescribed to treat insomnia and related symptoms. In addition, muscle relaxants are commonly prescribed to alleviate muscle soreness when the pain is unbearable. However, pharmacotherapy can lead to numerous side effects. The non-drug strategy intravascular laser irradiation of blood (iPBM) has been advocated to improve pain, wound healing, blood circulation, and blood cell function to relieve insomnia and muscle soreness symptoms. Therefore, we assessed whether iPBM improves blood parameters and compared drug use before and after iPBM therapy. METHODS Consecutive patients who received iPBM therapy between January 2013 and August 2021 were reviewed. The associations between laboratory data, pharmacotherapies, and iPBM therapy were retrospectively analyzed. We compared patient characteristics, blood parameters, and drug use within the three months before the first treatment and the three months after the last treatment. We also compared the changes before and after treatment in patients who received ≥10 or 1-9 iPBM treatments. RESULT We assessed 183 eligible patients who received iPBM treatment. Of them, 18 patients reported insomnia disturbance, and 128 patients reported pain in any part of their body. After the treatment, HGB and HCT significantly increased after treatment in both the ≥10 and 1-9 iPBM treatment groups (HGB p < 0.001 and p = 0.046; HCT p < 0.001 and p = 0.029, respectively). Pharmacotherapy analysis revealed no significant differences in drug use before and after treatment, though drug use tended to decrease after iPBM. CONCLUSIONS iPBM therapy is an efficient, beneficial, and feasible treatment that increases HGB and HCT. While the results of this study do not support the suggestion that iPBM reduces drug use, further larger studies using symptom scales are needed to confirm the changes in insomnia and muscle soreness after iPBM treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the prospective association of physical activity with all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and chronic kidney disease (CKD) mortality in CKD patients in China. Methods: Cox proportional hazard models were used to evaluate the association of total, domain-specific, and intensity-specific physical activity with the risk of all-cause, CVD, and CKD mortality based on data from the baseline survey of China Kadoorie Biobank. Results: During a median follow-up of 11.99 (11.13, 13.03) years, there were 698 deaths in 6 676 CKD patients. Compared with the bottom tertile of total physical activity, participants in the top tertile had a lower risk of all-cause, CVD, and CKD mortality, with hazard ratios (HRs) (95%CIs) of 0.61 (0.47-0.80), 0.40 (0.25-0.65), and 0.25 (0.07-0.85), respectively. Occupational, commuting, and household physical activity were negatively associated with the risk of all-cause and CVD mortality to varying degrees. Participants in the top tertile of occupational physical activity had a lower risk of all-cause (HR=0.56, 95%CI: 0.38-0.82) and CVD (HR=0.39, 95%CI: 0.20-0.74) mortality, those in the top tertile of commuting physical activity had a lower risk of CVD mortality (HR=0.43, 95%CI: 0.22-0.84), and those in the top tertile of household physical activity had a lower risk of all-cause (HR=0.61, 95%CI: 0.45-0.82), CVD (HR=0.44, 95%CI: 0.26-0.76) and CKD (HR=0.03, 95%CI: 0.01-0.17) mortality, compared with the bottom tertile of corresponding physical activity. No association of leisure-time physical activity with mortality was observed. Both low and moderate-vigorous intensity physical activity were negatively associated with the risk of all-cause, CVD and CKD mortality. The corresponding HRs (95%CIs) were 0.64 (0.50-0.82), 0.42 (0.26-0.66) and 0.29 (0.10-0.83) in the top tertile of low intensity physical activity, and the corresponding HRs (95%CIs) were 0.63 (0.48-0.82), 0.39 (0.24-0.64) and 0.23 (0.07-0.73) in the top tertile of moderate-vigorous intensity physical activity. Conclusion: Physical activity can reduce the risk of all-cause, CVD, and CKD mortality in CKD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Research investigating differences in the overall stroke risk between individuals with and without immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is lacking. METHODS This real-world study used the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD). Risk of stroke was compared between 13,085 individuals with ITP enrolled between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2015 and a control cohort of 52,340 individuals without ITP (1:4 ratio propensity score-matched by age, sex, index year, relevant comorbidities, and medications). Sub-distribution hazards models were used to estimate adjusted sub-distribution hazard ratio (SHR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), with the non-ITP group as the control group. RESULTS Of the 65,425 participants, 13,085 had ITP, 63.3% were women, and the mean age was 52.59 years. The risk of both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke was 1.14 times (adjusted SHR 1.14, 95% CI, 1.07-1.22) and 1.93 times (adjusted SHR 1.93, 95% CI, 1.70-2.20) higher in the ITP group than in controls. Patients with ITP in the 20- to 29-year subgroup had a higher risk of new-onset stroke (adjusted SHR, 4.06 (95% CI, 2.72-6.07), p value for interaction <0.01) than those aged 20-29 years without ITP. Individuals with severe ITP with splenectomy had a 1.79 times higher overall stroke risk than those without. CONCLUSIONS ITP is associated with increased risk of both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Survival is a key metric of the effectiveness of a health system in managing cancer. We set out to provide a comprehensive examination of worldwide variation and trends in survival from brain tumors in adults, by histology. METHODS We analyzed individual data for adults (15-99 years) diagnosed with a brain tumor (ICD-O-3 topography code C71) during 2000-2014, regardless of tumor behavior. Data underwent a 3-phase quality control as part of CONCORD-3. We estimated net survival for 11 histology groups, using the unbiased nonparametric Pohar Perme estimator. RESULTS The study included 556,237 adults. In 2010-2014, the global range in age-standardized 5-year net survival for the most common sub-types was broad: in the range 20%-38% for diffuse and anaplastic astrocytoma, from 4% to 17% for glioblastoma, and between 32% and 69% for oligodendroglioma. For patients with glioblastoma, the largest gains in survival occurred between 2000-2004 and 2005-2009. These improvements were more noticeable among adults diagnosed aged 40-70 years than among younger adults. CONCLUSIONS To the best of our knowledge, this study provides the largest account to date of global trends in population-based survival for brain tumors by histology in adults. We have highlighted remarkable gains in 5-year survival from glioblastoma since 2005, providing large-scale empirical evidence on the uptake of chemoradiation at population level. Worldwide, survival improvements have been extensive, but some countries still lag behind. Our findings may help clinicians involved in national and international tumor pathway boards to promote initiatives aimed at more extensive implementation of clinical guidelines.

Abstract
To investigate the relationship between chronic liver disease and tendon disorder, a retrospective cohort study was conducted using the Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital database. Patients >18 years with newly diagnosed liver disease and with at least a two-year follow-up in the hospital were included. An equal number of 20,479 cases were enrolled in both the liver-disease and non-liver-disease groups using a propensity score matching method. Disease was defined using ICD-9 or ICD-10 codes. The primary outcome was the development of tendon disorder. Demographic characteristics, comorbidities, use of tendon-toxic drugs, and status of HBV/HCV infection were included for analysis. The results showed 348 (1.7%) and 219 (1.1%) individuals developed tendon disorder in the chronic liver disease group and non-liver-disease group. Concomitant use of glucocorticoids and statins may have further raised the risk of tendon disorder in the liver disease group. The co-existence of HBV/HCV infection did not increase the risk of tendon disorder in the patients with liver disease. Considering these findings, physicians should be more aware of tendon issues in advance, and a prophylactic strategy should be adopted in patients with chronic liver disease.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the distribution of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in participants from the China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB) study and evaluate the association between lifestyle risk factors and CKD. Methods: Based on the baseline survey data and follow-up data (as of December 31, 2018) of the CKB study, the differences in CKD cases' area and population distributions were described. Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to estimate the association between lifestyle risk factors and the risk of CKD. Results: A total of 505 147 participants, 4 920 cases of CKD were recorded in 11.26 year follow up with a incidence rate of 83.43/100 000 person-years. Glomerulonephropathy was the most common type. The incidence of CKD was higher in the urban area, men, and the elderly aged 60 years and above (87.83/100 000 person-years, 86.37/100 000 person-years, and 132.06/100 000 person-years). Current male smokers had an increased risk for CKD compared with non-smokers or occasional smokers (HR=1.18, 95%CI: 1.05-1.31). The non-obese population was used as a control group, both general obesity determined by BMI (HR=1.19, 95%CI: 1.10-1.29) and central obesity determined by waist circumference (HR=1.27, 95%CI: 1.19-1.35) were associated with higher risk for CKD. Conclusion: The risks for CKD varied with area and population in the CKB cohort study, and the risk was influenced by multiple lifestyle factors.

Abstract
Urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) is a crucial activator of the fibrinolytic system that modulates tissue remodeling, cancer progression, and inflammation. However, its role in membranous nephropathy (MN) remains unclear. To clarify this issue, an established mouse model mimicking human MN induced by cationic bovine serum albumin (cBSA) in BALB/c mice was used, which have a Th2-prone genetic background. To induce MN, cBSA was injected into Plau knockout (Plau-/-) and wild-type (WT) mice. The blood and urine samples were collected to measure biochemical parameters, including serum concentrations of IgG1 and IgG2a, using enzyme-linked immunoassay. The kidneys were histologically examined for the presence of glomerular polyanions, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and apoptosis, and transmission electron microscopy was used to examine subepithelial deposits. Lymphocyte subsets were determined by flow cytometry. Four weeks post-cBSA administration, Plau-/- mice exhibited a significantly high urine protein/creatine ratio, hypoalbuminemia, and hypercholesterolemia compared with WT mice. Histologically, compared with WT mice, Plau-/- mice showed more severe glomerular basement thickening, mesangial expansion, IgG granular deposition, intensified podocyte effacement, irregular thickening of glomerular basement membrane and subepithelial deposits, and abolishment of the glycocalyx. Moreover, increased renal ROS and apoptosis were observed in Plau-/- mice with MN. B lymphocyte subsets and the IgG1/IgG2a ratio were significantly higher in Plau-/- mice after MN induction. Thus, uPA deficiency induces a Th2-dominant immune response, leading to increased subepithelial deposits, ROS, and apoptosis in the kidneys, subsequently exacerbating MN progression in mice. This study provides a novel insight into the role of uPA in MN progression.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the safety of the Triple-P procedure in women complicated with severe placenta accreta spectrum disorders (PAS) and its influence on second pregnancy. Methods: From January 2015 to December 2017, the outcomes of the second pregnancy after the Triple-P procedure in 11 pregnant women complicated with PAS in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University and the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were retrospectively analyzed. Results: By December 2021, a total of 11 pregnant women who underwent the Triple-P procedure for PAS had a second pregnancy, with a median interval of 3 years (2-3 years). Of the 11 pregnant women, 7 delivered after 36 weeks of gestation. The median gestational age was 38 weeks, and 4 terminated within the first trimester. PAS recurred in 1 of 7 pregnant women (1/7) and was associated with placenta previa. All of the 7 pregnant women were delivered by cesarean section, with a median postpartum blood loss of 300 ml (200-450 ml), and only one pregnant woman required blood transfusion. None of the pregnant women were transferred to the intensive care unit, and there were no uterine rupture, bladder injury, puerperal infection, and neonatal adverse outcomes. Conclusion: Pregnant women who underwent the Triple-P procedure for severe PAS could be considered for second pregnancy with strictly management by an experienced multidisciplinary team, which may result in a good outcome.

Abstract
Individuals of Asian descent are at higher risk for developing hyperuricemia and gout as compared to Western populations. Urate-lowering therapy (ULT) is an effective treatment for hyperuricemia and gout. It was reported that febuxostat, one of the ULTs, raises the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) in elderly populations. Nevertheless, this association has not been properly investigated in Asian populations. We aimed to investigate the development of AF after ULT with different drugs in an Asian population. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the clinical database at Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital. Patients newly diagnosed with gout between 1 January 2013 and 31 December 2020 and with a documented baseline serum uric acid (sUA) level but no prior diagnosis of AF were identified. Patients were divided into three groups-allopurinol, benzbromarone, and febuxostat users. During the follow-up period, the risks of incident AF following the initiation of ULT with different drugs were assessed. Development of incident AF was noted in 43 (6%) of the 713 eligible patients during the follow-up period (mean, 49.4 ± 26.6 months). Febuxostat-treated patients had a higher prevalence of certain comorbidities (diabetes mellitus, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease) and higher CHA2DS2-VASc scores. Compared with allopurinol, neither febuxostat nor benzbromarone was associated with increased adjusted hazard ratios (HR) for incident AF (HR: 1.20, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.43-3.34; HR: 0.68, 95% CI: 0.22-2.08). There was no difference in the risk of incident AF among Asian patients with gout who received febuxostat, allopurinol, or benzbromarone. Further studies are needed to evaluate long-term cardiovascular outcomes in patients receiving different ULT drugs.

Abstract
Objective: To describe the prevalence of daytime nap habit in participants of the China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB) study, across 10 study regions and explore its correlation with prevalence of major chronic diseases. Methods: Participants with a self-reported pre-diagnosis of any cancer at baseline survey were excluded. Logistic regression models were used to analyze the differences in study regions and age distribution of the prevalence daytime nap habit, and its correlation with the prevalence of diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and chronic liver diseases. Results: Among 510 145 participants, 39.9% had daytime nap habit in summer and 20.8% had daytime nap habit all the year round. Urban-rural differences were observed in the prevalence of summer nap habit and perennial nap habit. Daytime nap in summer was common in rural areas and Suzhou, with prevalence ranged from 32.9% to 73.3%. Haikou and Liuzhou had higher prevalence of perennial nap (60.4% and 63.3%). The proportion of people with daytime nap habit all the year round increased with age (P for trend <0.001), the proportion was highest in those aged 70- years (31.9%). Daytime nap habit in summer was positively correlated with the prevalence of diabetes, hypertension, CHD and chronic liver disease with OR of 1.10 (95%CI: 1.07-1.14), 1.03 (95%CI:1.02-1.05), 1.07 (95%CI: 1.02-1.12) and 1.07 (95%CI:1.00-1.14), respectively. Daytime nap habit all the year round was positively correlated with the prevalence of diabetes, hypertension, CHD, stroke, COPD and chronic liver disease with OR of 1.33 (95%CI: 1.29-1.37), 1.11 (95%CI: 1.09-1.13), 1.39 (95%CI: 1.33-1.45), 1.33 (95%CI: 1.26-1.41), 1.12 (95%CI: 1.08-1.16) and 1.27 (95%CI:1.18-1.37) respectively. Conclusion: There were regional and age differences in prevalence of daytime nap habit among CKB participants. Daytime nap habit, especially daytime nap habit all the year round, was positively correlated with the prevalence of major chronic diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aminophylline use and the association between clinical outcomes and therapy timing have been less investigated. The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of early aminophylline use (within the first two days of life) in premature infants. METHOD A retrospective observational cohort of infants weighing <1500 g and <30 weeks of gestational age at Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital received aminophylline either within the first two days of life (EA, early aminophylline group), after the third day of life (LA, late aminophylline group), or without aminophylline during the first month of life (WA, without aminophylline group). Demographic data and neonatal clinical outcomes were compared among the three groups. RESULTS This study included 89 preterm infants (EA = 33, LA = 38, WA = 18). The EA group had a lower incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) than the WA group (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 8.86(1.56-59.32); P = 0.024). Although there was no significant difference in BPD incidence between the EA and LA groups (aOR = 2.66(0.51-13.81), P = 0.244), a trend remained. Birth body weight less than 1000 g was also a significant risk factor for BPD (aOR = 8.86(1.32-47.41), P = 0.014). The duration of mechanical ventilation was shorter in the infants in the EA group compared to the WA group (estimated beta = -11.344(-19.57-3.12); P = 0.008). CONCLUSION Early aminophylline administration may be associated with a decreased incidence of BPD in preterm infants. However, the clinical benefits of aminophylline treatment require further investigation. In addition, a birth body weight of less than 1000 g was a crucial risk factor for BPD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Serious bacterial infections (SBIs) could lead to mortality or severe long-term sequelae in neonates and infants aged <3 months. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to develop a quantitative and accurate assessment tool for predicting the risk of SBIs in febrile neonates. METHODS This retrospective study enrolled 131 febrile term neonates (aged <30 days) who were hospitalized at Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital between January 2005 and December 2020. These neonates were classified into SBI and nonbacterial infection (NBI) groups on the basis of microbiological laboratory reports. The clinical characteristics and routine blood tests of both groups at the time of admission were analyzed. Stepwise logistic regression was applied to create and validate the nomogram for SBI prediction. RESULTS Among the 131 febrile neonates, 38 and 93 developed SBIs and NBIs, respectively. At the time of admission, ill clinical appearance, serum myelocyte/metamyelocyte presence, C-reactive protein (CRP) > 2.5 mg/dL, and pyuria were associated with an increased risk of SBIs. Accordingly, these four factors were used to develop a nomogram for SBI prediction, which exhibited significantly high performance (area under curve = 0.848, p < 0.001) in predicting SBI risk. CONCLUSION We developed a nomogram combining clinical appearance, serum myelocyte/metamyelocyte presence, CRP, and pyuria for predicting SBI risk in febrile neonates. This tool can assist clinicians in making early diagnoses and delivering the appropriate treatment.

Abstract
Adverse renal effects of systemic vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor treatment are well documented. We aimed to identify associations between intravitreal VEGF inhibitor use and renal function decline in patients with diabetic retinopathy. We included 625 patients with diabetic retinopathy for regular renal function follow-ups and grouped them according to intravitreal therapy (67 with and 558 without treatment). We used a generalized estimating equation model to identify renal function decline risk factors. Increased age (p = 0.02), insulin use (p = 0.01), hypertension (p < 0.01), and ischemic heart disease (p < 0.01) were associated with significantly decreased estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs) in patients with diabetic retinopathy after 1-year follow-up. Compared to the control group, patients who received intravitreal VEGF inhibitor injections showed a declining eGFR trend in the repeated measurement model without statistical significance (p = 0.06). In subgroup analysis, patients with initial eGFR ≤ 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 who received intravitreal VEGF inhibitors had significantly decreased renal function (p < 0.01) compared to those without treatment. Intravitreal VEGF inhibitor injection was associated with renal function deterioration among patients with diabetic retinopathy and advanced chronic kidney disease. Strategies to monitor renal function after treatment should be considered in these high-risk populations.

Abstract
Retinal artery occlusion (RAO) is most commonly caused by embolism. Evidence showed that hematocrit (Hct) levels are often associated with embolic events. In this study, we aim to investigate the relationship between Hct levels and RAO. This retrospective study enrolled RAO patients between January 2011 and March 2020, who were 1:4 matched by age, gender, index date, and relevant comorbidities with the non-RAO group. Patient characteristics and laboratory data were collected. Univariate conditional logistic regression was applied by estimating crude matched odds ratios to determine the relevant factors for the occurrence of RAO. Furthermore, a narrative review of the relevant study was conducted to explore the association between Hct levels and embolism. Between January 2011 to March 2020, 82 RAO patients and 328 non-RAO patients matched with age, gender, index date, comorbidities of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, chronic kidney disease, stroke, and atrial fibrillation were enrolled after excluding ineligible individuals. Conditional logistic regression analysis showed that Hct level ≥ 40% was associated with developing RAO. A forest plot showed a trend of a non-linear dose-response association between Hct levels and ischemic vascular events in male patients. Hct levels ≥ 40% in patients older than 65 years with at least six comorbidities could be associated with RAO. We suggest that older patients who have multiple comorbidities, combined with elevated Hct levels, should be informed of the possible occurrence of RAO.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the correlation between sleep status and frailty in adults aged 30-79 years in China, and explore the potential effect modification of general and central obesity. Methods: Based on the baseline data of the China Kadoorie Biobank, we used multinomial logistic regression to analyze the correlation between long and short sleep duration, insomnia disorder, snoring, and unhealthy sleep score with risks of pre-frailty and frailty. Both overall and obesity-stratified analyses were performed. Result: Among the 512 724 participants, 2.3% had frailty and 40.1% had pre-frailty. There was a U-shaped relationship between sleep duration and frailty score. Short (OR=1.21, 95%CI: 1.19-1.23) or long sleep duration (OR=1.19, 95%CI: 1.17-1.21), insomnia disorder (OR=2.09, 95%CI: 2.02-2.17), and snoring (OR=1.61, 95%CI: 1.59-1.63) were all positively correlated with pre-frailty, and dose-response relationships were observed between unhealthy sleep score and pre-frailty (P for trend<0.001), with OR values of 1.46 (1.44-1.48), 1.97 (1.93-2.00) and 3.43 (3.21-3.67) respectively for those having unhealthy sleep score of 1 to 3. These sleep problems were also positively correlated with frailty. Compared with the overweight or obesity group, stronger relationships were observed between short sleep duration and frailty or pre-frailty and between insomnia disorder and pre-frailty, while the relationships between snoring and frailty and pre-frailty were weaker in the participants with normal weight (P for interaction <0.007 for all). We also observed similar effect modification by central obesity. Conclusion: Long or short sleep duration, insomnia disorder, snoring and higher unhealthy sleep scores were positively correlated with pre-frailty or frailty, general and central obesity status could modify the relationships.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the association of lifestyle and cardiometabolic risk factors with five epigenetic age acceleration (AA) indices. Methods: This study included 980 participants of China Kadoorie Biobank, for whom genome-wide DNA methylation of peripheral blood cells had been detected in baseline survey. Five indices of DNA methylation age (DNAm age) were calculated, i.e. Horvath clock, Hannum clock, DNAm PhenoAge, GrimAge and Li clock. Epigenetic AA was defined as the residual of regressing DNAm age on chronological age. Lifestyle factors studied included smoking status, alcohol consumption, eating habits, physical activity level and body shape defined by a combination of BMI and waist circumference. Cardiometabolic risk factors included blood pressure, blood glucose level and total cholesterol level. Linear regression model was used to analyze the association of lifestyle and cardiometabolic risk factors with AA (β). Results: GrimAge_AA was associated with smoking status, alcohol consumption, physical activity level and BMI. Compared with non-smokers, non-drinkers, or participants with BMI of 18.5- 23.9 kg/m2, the smokers who smoked 1-14 cigarettes/day (β=0.71, 95%CI: 0.57-0.86), 15-24 cigarettes/day (β=0.88, 95%CI: 0.73-1.03), and ≥25 cigarettes/day (β=0.99, 95%CI: 0.81-1.18), respectively, heavy drinkers with daily pure alcohol consumption ≥60 g (β=0.33, 95%CI: 0.11-0.55) and participants with BMI<18.5 kg/m2 (β=0.23, 95%CI: 0.03-0.43) showed accelerated aging. Compared with those in the lowest quintile of physical activity level, participants in the top three quintile of physical activity level showed decelerated aging (β=-0.13, 95%CI: -0.26-0.01, β=-0.12, 95%CI: -0.26-0.02, and β=-0.14, 95%CI: -0.27- -0.00, respectively). GrimAge_AA decreased with the increase of the number of healthy lifestyle factors (P<0.001). Compared with the participants with 0 to 1 healthy lifestyle factor, the β of those with 2, 3, or 4 to 5 healthy lifestyle factors were -0.30 (95%CI: -0.47- -0.12), -0.47 (95%CI: -0.65- -0.30) and -0.72 (95%CI: -0.90- -0.53), respectively. The other four indices were not statistically significantly associated with most lifestyle factors. None of the five indices of AA was associated with blood pressure, blood glucose level or total cholesterol level. Conclusion: People with unhealthy lifestyle showed accelerated epigenetic aging, that is, the predicted DNAm age is older than their own chronological age.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the associations between sleep status and the risk for kidney stone in Chinese adults. Methods: This study used baseline and long-term follow-up data of China Kadoorie Biobank. After excluding those with self-reporting of diagnosed chronic kidney disease and cancer and those with extreme values of sleep duration at baseline survey, 501 701 participants were included in this study. The information about their sleep status were collected, including insomnia symptoms, daytime sleepiness, nap habit, snoring and sleep duration. The sleep score was constructed based on insomnia symptoms, daytime sleepiness, and sleep duration, ranging from 0 to 3. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to evaluate the association of sleep status with the risk for kidney stone, including individual sleep factors and combined sleep score. Results: During the follow-up for average (10.7±2.2) years, 12 381 cases of kidney stone were recorded for the first time. Compared with participants without insomnia symptoms, the multivariable-adjusted HR of kidney stone in those with difficulty falling asleep and waking up early were 1.12 (95%CI: 1.06-1.18) and 1.06 (95%CI: 1.00-1.12), respectively. There was no statistically significant association of kidney stone risk with sleeping pill use, daytime sleepiness, nap habit, or snoring. Compared with participants with sleep duration ≥7 hours per day, the HR of kidney stone in those with sleep duration <7 hours per day was 1.13 (95%CI: 1.08-1.18). Compared with participants with sleep score of 3 (highest sleep quality), the HR of kidney stone in those with sleep score of 2, 1, and 0 were 1.08 (95%CI: 1.03-1.13), 1.16 (95%CI: 1.10-1.23), and 1.19 (95%CI: 1.03-1.37), respectively. Conclusion: In China, adults with insomnia symptoms or short sleep duration have increased risk for kidney stone.

Abstract
Objective: To describe and analyze the epidemiological characteristics of premature death (death before age of 70 years) and related risk factors in approximate 100 000 adults recruited from 10 regions of China during a 10-year follow-up. Methods: Data, including demographic characteristics, lifestyle and physical indicators as well as health outcomes as of December 31, 2017, were obtained from baseline survey and long-term follow-up of the China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB) study. All-cause and cause-specific premature death in different areas, in men and women and in people with different lifestyles were analyzed. Cox proportional risk model was used to analyze the associations between baseline factors and premature death. Results: A total of 99 993 participants aged 56-69 years were included in the study. During 10 years of follow-up, 7 530 premature deaths were recorded and the premature death rate was 7.15 per 1 000 person-years. The main causes of premature death were cancer and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The premature mortality rate was higher in rural areas, in northern region and in men, and decreased with age (P<0.05). Premature death was more likely to occur in smokers, and a dose-response relationship was observed. Compared with non-drinkers, the risk for premature death was higher in ex-drinkers (HR: 1.25 [95%CI:1.16-1.36]) and heavy drinkers (average alcohol consumption ≥60 g/d) (HR: 1.20 [95%CI:1.08-1.34]). The risk for premature death decreased with the increase of physical activity. Low body weight and central obesity were independently associated with increased risk for premature death (HR: 1.67 [95%CI:1.55-1.81] and 1.13 [95%CI:1.05-1.21], respectively). Conclusions: The main causes of premature death in adults aged 56-69 years in China during 10-year follow-up were cancer and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The premature mortality rate varied with socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. The risk for premature death was influenced by multi factors, such as lifestyle and physical conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For risk stratification and individualized treatment for children with urinary tract infection (UTI), they must be assessed for the presence of acute pyelonephritis (APN). Our study aimed to combine variables that can predict APN and establish a nomogram for clinical use. METHODS In total, 111 children <5 years old hospitalized at Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital for UTI were classified into APN and simple UTI groups based on a technetium-99 m dimercaptosuccinic acid scan. Their demographic, laboratory test, and renal and urinary bladder sonography (RUBS) data were compared. RESULTS Fever peak of >39 °C, serum procalcitonin (PCT) ≥ 0.52 pg/mL, C-reactive protein (CRP) ≥ 2.86 mg/dL, and abnormal RUBS findings were independent variables for predicting APN in children. The nomogram established using the aforementioned variables had an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.89, which was higher than those of PCT and CRP alone (0.776 and 0.774, respectively). CONCLUSION The combination of four variables had the highest power in predicting APN in children with UTI. The established nomogram is practical for clinical use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The current standard therapy for metastatic pancreatic cancer is ineffective, necessitating a new treatment approach for prognosis improvement. The urokinase-plasmin activator (uPA) is a critical factor in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cancer metastasis, but its underlying mechanisms in pancreatic cancer remains elusive. METHODS We investigated uPA expression in our pancreatic cancer cohort. A bioinformatics approach was used to further determine the role of uPA in pancreatic cancer. We employed MiaPaCa-2 and PANC-1 cell lines to investigate how uPA regulates EMT and metastasis in pancreatic cancer and present a novel approach aimed at inhibiting uPA in pancreatic cancer. RESULTS We observed that higher uPA mRNA expression was significantly associated with overall-poor survival and progression-free survival in pancreatic cancer. uPA was highly expressed in tumor tissue. Gene set enrichment analysis revealed a positive association between uPA mRNA expression and EMT and transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signaling pathways. Moreover, shRNA-mediated uPA gene knockdown reduced plasmin, MMP14, and TGF-β activation, leading to the inhibition of PANC-1 cells' EMT marker expression, migration, invasion, and cell viability. Notably, 4-acetyl-antroquinonol B (4-AAQB) treatment suppressed MiaPaCa-2 and PANC-1 cell migratory and invasive abilities by inhibiting the uPA/MMP14/TGF-β axis through upregulation of miR-181d-5p. In the xenograft mouse model of orthotropic pancreatic cancer, 4-AAQB treatment has reduced tumor growth and metastasis rate by deactivating uPA and improving the survival of the mice model. CONCLUSION Accordingly, to extent of our knowledge and previous studies, we demonstrated that 4-AAQB is an anti Pan-Cancer drug, and may inhibit pancreatic cancer EMT and metastasis and serve as a new therapeutic approach for patients with late-stage pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
Food safety in China has been significantly improved since the melamine crisis in 2008 and the promulgation of the first Food Safety Law in 2009. However, food safety is a long standing issue in China due to the backward productive structure of agriculture and food business. In order to further improve the food safety in China, it is critical to reach a consensus on the leading edge concept of food safety and the identification of priority areas based on the concept. The leading edge concept of food safety aims to prevent potential issues and deal with current issues based on the risk, i.e. risk-based approach, as opposed to the concept based on the hazard, i.e. hazard-based approach. Practice is to determine the key problems that need to be solved first according to the concept. This paper expounds the different food safety management strategies and measures caused by the two concepts, and lists several key food safety problems (importance and solutions) determined according to the concept of "risk-based". These examples include foodborne diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms, antimicrobial resistance, food allergen control, risk assessment of multiple chemical hazards exposure and alternative methods in food toxicology.

Abstract
Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the leading malignant diseases worldwide, especially in Asia. CAST is a potential oncogene in GC carcinogenesis. The character of macrophage infiltration in the GC microenvironment also remains unaddressed. Methods: We first applied machine searching to evaluate gene candidates for GC. CAST expression and pan-cancer surveyance were analyzed using the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) and Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis 2 (GEPIA2) database. The protein–protein interaction (PPI) network was downloaded from STRING. We investigated the impact of CAST on clinical prognosis using a Kaplan–Meier plotter. The correlations between CAST and Lgr5 and macrophage infiltration in GC were determined using TIMER 2.0. Finally, GeneMANIA was also used to evaluate the possible functional linkages between genes. Results: After the machine-assisted search, CAST expression was found to significantly influence the overall survival of GC patients. STRING revealed CAST-related proteomic and transcriptomic associations, mainly concerning the CAPN family. Moreover, CAST significantly impacts the prognosis of GC based on the validation of other datasets. Notably, high CAST expression was correlated with worse overall survival in GC patients (hazard ratio = 1.59; log-rank P = 9.4 × 10−8). CAST and Lgr5 expression were both positively correlated with WNT 2 and WNT 2B. Among the GC patients in several datasets, CAST and macrophage infiltration, evaluated together, showed no obvious association with poor clinical overall survival. Conclusions: CAST plays an important role in the clinical prognosis of GC and is associated with WNT 2/WNT 2B/Lgr5. Our study demonstrates that CAST’s influence on overall survival in GC is regulated by macrophage infiltration.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS
In nondiabetic population, primary membranous nephropathy (PMN) is the most common cause of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome in the world. Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) is one of the key members of fibrinolysis system, which functions as dissolving blood clots to prevent obstruction of blood vessels. Currently, the roles of uPA in PMN remain undefined.
METHOD
Six-week-old male mice with Plau wild-type and knockout in BALB/c strain were used to induce MN by cationic bovine serum albumin (cBSA). Biochemistry assays of blood and urine were measured by a Fuji Dri-Chem FDC NX 500 machine. Glomerular polyanions were determined by using Colloidal Iron Stain Kit. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) was detected by immunohistochemistry stained by 4-HNE antibody. TUNEL positivity in the kidneys of mice was determined using an ApopTag® Plus Peroxidase In Situ Apoptosis Kit. The deposition of immune complex in glomeruli was examined by a transmission electron microscope. Lymphocyte subsets were determined by flow cytometry. Serum concentrations of IgG1 and IgG2a were measured by ELISA.
RESULTS
It has been reported that BALB/c mice is an ideal strain for mimicking human PMN. Thus, we generated uPA deficient mice (Plau-/-) in BALB/c strain by backcrossing C.129S2-Plautm1Mlg/J mice with BALB/c wild-type mice to N10. Plau-/- mice exhibited severe urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio significantly when compared with wild-type mice at 2 weeks post-cBSA administration. Consistently, cBSA-induced Plau-/- mice displayed higher serum creatinine, hypoalbuminemia and hypercholesterolemia than wild-type mice. Histologically, Plau-/- mice presented more severed glomerular basement thickening, IgG granular deposition, intensified podocyte effacement, irregular thickening of glomerular basement membrane and subepithelial deposits than wild-type mice. Attenuated colloidal iron stain was observed in Plau-/- mice when compared with wild-type mice. Moreover, elevated ROS and apoptosis in the kidneys of Plau-/- mice were observed. B lymphocyte subsets were enriched significantly in the Plau-/- mice with MN, suggesting that pathological aggravation of MN is associated with dominant B lymphocyte population. The enriched ratio of IgG1 to IgG2a further confirmed predominant Th2 subset in Plau-/- mice.
CONCLUSION
uPA deficiency enhances Th2 dominant immune response, leading to enhancement of ROS and apoptosis in the kidneys, which subsequently exacerbates the progression of MN. Maintenance of uPA homeostasis may be a promising therapeutic approach for MN management.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the associations of childhood obesity, assessed by genetic variations of childhood body mass index (BMI), with the risk of adult ischemic heart disease (IHD) and major coronary event (MCE). Methods: More than 69 000 participants from the China Kadoorie Biobank were genotyped. After excluding those with coronary heart disease, stroke, or cancer at baseline, a total of 64 454 participants were included in this study. Based on genome-wide significant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), childhood BMI genetic risk score were constructed for every participant and divided into quintiles, with the lowest quintile as the low genetic risk group and the highest quintile as the high genetic risk group. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate the association between genetic predisposition to childhood obesity and the risk of ischemic heart disease. Results: During a median of 10.7 years of follow-up, 7 073 incident cases of IHD and 1 845 cases of MCE were documented. After adjusting for sex, age, region, and the first ten genetic principal components, the HRs (95%CIs) for IHD and MCE in the high genetic risk group were 1.10 (1.02-1.18) and 1.10 (0.95-1.27), compared with the low genetic risk group. IHD risk increased by 4% (2%-6%) for each one standard deviation increase in genetic risk score (trend P=0.001). After further adjustment for baseline BMI, the differences between genetic risk groups were not statistically significant, but there was still a linear trend between genetic risk score and IHD risk (trend P=0.019). Conclusions: IHD risk increased with genetic predisposition to childhood obesity, suggesting that childhood obesity is an important risk factor for the development of IHD in China. As an easily identifiable feature, changes of childhood BMI should be monitored regularly to realize early intervention of IHD in adults.

Abstract
This cohort study aimed to investigate the association between steroid injections for shoulder diseases and the increased incidence of cuff tendon tears. The Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital clinical database was used in this study. Patients were enrolled using the corresponding diagnostic codes for shoulder diseases. Patients who received steroid injections were included in the case group, and those without steroid injections were included in the control group. The outcome measure was the occurrence of cuff tendon tears during the study period. Adjusted hazard ratios for outcomes were calculated using Cox regression analysis adjusted for sex, age, and comorbidities. Of the 1025 patients with shoulder disease, 205 were in the case group and 820 were in the control group. The incidence of cuff tendon tears was 9.8% in patients who received steroid injections (p < 0.001). The adjusted hazard ratios for steroid injections, smoking, and chronic liver disease were 7.44 (p < 0.001), 2.40 (p = 0.046), 3.25 (p = 0.007), respectively. Steroid injections on the shoulder were associated with a raised risk of cuff tendon tears by 7.44 times compared to non-injection. The incidence of cuff tendon tears increased by 3.25 times with concurrent chronic liver disease and by 2.4 times with smoking.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Candidemia is a life-threatening condition; however, the predictive markers for candidemia and mortality are inadequate in cirrhotic patients. This study was conducted to propose candidate predictors for the occurrence of candidemia and 30-day mortality in hospitalized cirrhotic patients with bloodstream infection (BSI) and review the related literature. METHODS Cirrhotic patients with BSI between January 2011 and March 2020 were screened from the databank of a medical center and eligible patients were enrolled. Patients were separated into candidemia and bacteremia groups according to the results of blood cultures. Baseline characteristics, clinical presentation, and biochemistry data were collected at this time, as were microbiological data, medical management, use of antimicrobial agents, and outcome of the patients. The parameters and 30-day mortality were compared between candidemia and bacteremia groups. A combination of the MeSH terms and text terms related to candidemia and cirrhosis was searched in the electronic databases. RESULTS Four hundred and sixty cirrhotic patients with BSI were enrolled. Thirty-five patients with candidemia (7.6%) were identified. Nosocomial infection, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, antibiotics exposure ≥14 days, white cell count >10 K/mm3, and model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score >24 were associated with candidemia. The 30-day mortality was 65.7% in the candidemia group and 37.9% in the bacteremia group (p = 0.001). Nosocomial infection, ICU admission, hepatoma, hepatic encephalopathy, international normalized ratio ≥1.2, platelet ≤150 K/mm3, estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73m2, and MELD score >24 were associated with 30-day mortality. Six studies were identified. The results were consistent with our findings regarding low incidence of candidemia, and relevant risk factors are listed. CONCLUSION Candidemia had low incidence but high mortality in hospitalized cirrhotic patients with BSI. New predictors were proposed for the occurrence of candidemia and 30-day mortality in these patients.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the association between tea consumption and the risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality among Chinese adults. Methods: This study was based on China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB). Tea consumption information was self-reported by participants at baseline. Death was mainly identified by linkage to the death registry system. Cox proportional hazard regression models estimated HR and 95%CI. Results: With a median follow-up of 11.1 years, there were 34 661 deaths in 438 443 participants. Compared with those who never drink tea, all-cause mortality HR(95%CI) were 0.89(0.86-0.91) and 0.92(0.88-0.95) for non-daily tea drinkers and daily tea drinkers, respectively. A statistically significant difference was found in the association of tea consumption and the risk of all-cause mortality between men and women(interaction P<0.05). The protective effect was mainly seen in men. Compared with those who never drink tea, daily tea drinkers had a reduced risk of death from ischemic heart disease, ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, cancer, respiration diseases and other causes of death, and the corresponding HR(95%CI) were 0.83(0.76-0.92), 0.82(0.69-0.97), 0.86(0.78-0.94), 1.03(0.97-1.09), 1.00(0.87-1.16), 0.84(0.78-0.90). Among never smokers and non-excessive drinkers, there was no statistically significant association between daily tea drinking and the risk of death from cancer. While smokers and excessive drinkers had an increased risk of death from cancer (interaction P<0.001). Conclusions: Tea consumers had reduced risks of all-cause mortality and partial cause-specific mortality, but not for the risk of death from cancer. On the contrary, daily tea drinkers with smoking habits and excessive alcohol drinking had an increased risk of death from cancer.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the associations of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference with hospitalization risk of kidney stones in Chinese adults. Methods: This study used long-term follow-up data from China Kadoorie Biobank. After excluding participants with chronic kidney disease, cancer, and extreme BMI or waist circumference values at baseline, 502 096 participants were included in the present analysis. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate the associations of BMI and waist circumference with hospitalization risk of kidney stones. Results: During an average follow-up period of (10.7±2.2) years, 12 396 participants were hospitalized for the first time with kidney stones. Using the participants with BMI (kg/m2) of 20.5-22.4 as reference, the multivariable-adjusted HR (95%CI) for those with BMI of <18.5, 18.5-20.4, 22.5-23.9, 24.0-25.9, 26.0-27.9, 28.0-29.9, and ≥30.0 were 0.96 (0.87-1.05), 0.94 (0.88-1.00), 1.11 (1.05-1.17), 1.25 (1.18-1.32), 1.29 (1.21-1.37), 1.39 (1.28-1.50), and 1.54 (1.40-1.71), respectively. For every 1 kg/m2 increase in BMI, the HR of kidney stones hospitalization increased by 4% (HR=1.04, 95%CI: 1.04-1.05). Using the participants with waist circumference (cm) of 75.0-79.9 as reference, the multivariable-adjusted HR (95%CI) for those with waist circumference of <65.0, 65.0-69.9, 70.0-74.9, 80.0-84.9, 85.0-89.9, 90.0-94.9, and ≥95.0 were 0.82 (0.74-0.91), 0.85 (0.80-0.92), 0.95 (0.89-1.00), 1.16 (1.09-1.22), 1.22 (1.15-1.30), 1.28 (1.19-1.38), and 1.46 (1.35-1.58), respectively. For every 5 cm increase in waist circumference, the HR of kidney stones hospitalization increased by 9% (HR=1.09, 95%CI: 1.08-1.10). After mutually adjusting for BMI and waist circumference in the above models, the association between BMI and hospitalization risk of kidney stones disappeared. In contrast, the association between waist circumference and hospitalization risk of kidney stones remained unchanged. Conclusions: BMI and waist circumference were positively associated with hospitalization risk of kidney stones. The increased waist circumference was an independent risk factor for kidney stones among Chinese adults.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the relationship of physical activity and sedentary leisure time with muscle mass, strength, and quality in Chinese adults. Methods: Based on the second resurvey of China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB) in 2013-2014, logistic regression models were used to analyze the correlation of physical activity and sedentary leisure time with low muscle mass, grip strength, and muscle quality. Results: A total of 24 245 participants were included in the analysis. The average daily physical activity level was (18.3±13.8) MET-h/d, and the sedentary leisure time was (4.4±1.9) hours. We took the lowest physical activity quartile as the reference and found that the participants' physical activity was negatively correlated to low muscle mass, strength, and quality. The ORs (95%CIs) of low appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI), low total skeletal muscle mass index (TSMI), low grip strength and low arm muscle quality (AMQ) were 0.68 (0.60-0.77), 0.66 (0.58-0.75), 0.82 (0.72-0.94) and 0.84 (0.74-0.95), respectively. The subtypes of physical activity, including those related to work, transportation, housework, and leisure, also showed negative correlations with low muscle mass, strength, and quality to varying degrees. Compared with participants with the shortest sedentary leisure time, those who had the longest were more likely to have low TSMI (OR=1.13, 95%CI: 0.99-1.30). Conclusions: Physical activity was negatively correlated with a lower risk of low muscle mass and strength, while longer sedentary leisure time positively correlated with low muscle mass.
