The relationship between intraoperative glucose levels and length of hospital stay in patients with a femoral neck fracture: a retrospective study based on the MIMIC-IV database.

Objective: This retrospective study aimed to explore the relationship between intraoperative glucose (IG) and the length of hospital stay (LOS) in patients with femoral neck fractures via the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV (MIMIC-IV) database.

Methods: A generalized additive model was performed to explore the relationship between IG levels and LOS. Restricted cubic spline curves were used to analyze the dose-response relationship between IG levels and prolonged LOS (or 7-day LOS).

Participation in mahjong and the associated smoking and alcohol consumption behaviors among Chinese older adults.

This study examined the relationship of playing mahjong with smoking and alcohol consumption behaviors among Chinese older adults. We used a large and nationally representative dataset, the 8th wave of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS). Older adults who were 65 years old or above were included in the final analysis sample ( = 10,954).

Decreased expression of KLF6 and its significance in gastric carcinoma.

To study the expression of the Krüppel-like transcription factor 6 (KLF6) in human gastric carcinoma and normal gastric mucosa tissues, and to explore the role of KLF6 in the carcinogenesis and tumor progression and its clinical significance. Expression of KLF6, P21WAF1 and PCNA was investigated by immunohistochemistry for 69 surgically resected gastric carcinoma tissues and corresponding normal gastric mucosa tissues, respectively. The correlations of KLF6 expression with clinicopathological characteristics, P21WAF1 and PCNA were examined.
