Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the value of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) derived parameters vs anthropometric obesity indices in the assessment of early atherosclerosis in abdominally obese men.

Methods: This case-control study included 44 abdominally obese men (waist circumference ≥ 90 cm) and 30 non-abdominally obese men (waist circumference < 90 cm) who were between 20 and 50 years of age. All subjects were of the Han ethnicity.

Objective: This study was to observe the difference in one-hour postload plasma glucose levels and analyze its related factors in abdominally obese men with normal glucose tolerance (NGT).

Design: This case-control study included 36 abdominally obese men (waist circumference ≥90 cm) and 31 non-abdominally obese men (waist circumference <90 cm) aged 20-50 years with NGT. Cases and controls were matched in age.

The purpose of this study was to observe both the glycemic variability in abdominally obese men with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) and the relationship between glycemic variability and early atherosclerosis. This case-control study included 23 abdominally obese men (waist circumference (WC) ≥90 cm) and 23 nonabdominally obese men (WC <90 cm) with NGT who were between 20 and 50 years of age. All subjects were of the Han ethnicity.

Objective: To explore the best waist circumference (WC) cut-point for identifying cardiovascular risk factors among adolescents.

Methods: Human basic parameters were measured among 3986 adolescents aged 14 - 18 in Qinhuangdao. Receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC) analysis was employed to determine the optimal WC cut-point for detecting cardiovascular risk factors.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to identify and evaluate the quality of Baoji pills (BJP), a complex traditional Chinese medicine, using a 'Back-tracking' method and HPLC fingerprint analysis.
  • The analysis was done using an HPLC-DAD system, resulting in a fingerprint of 44 peaks, where 35 peaks were linked to specific crude herbal drugs in the formula, like pueraria and magnolia bark.
  • The findings highlight that the HPLC fingerprinting technique offers a comprehensive assessment of BJP quality, proving to be more effective than traditional marker-based methods for quality control.
