Elevated triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio increased risk of hyperuricemia: a 4-year cohort study in China.

Purpose: Previous studies revealed that high serum uric acid (SUA) levels correlated with increased triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio. However, evidence is lacking regarding whether TG/HDL-C is an independent risk factor or just a simple marker of hyperuricemia. We aimed to investigate the relationship between TG/HDL-C and the risk of hyperuricemia in Chinese population.

[Sapflow characteristics of Kandelia obovata and their controlling factors in Zhangjiang estuary, China.].

In this study, the Grainer's thermal dissipation probe method was applied to monitor sap flux density (SFD) of a mangrove species Kandelia obovata over a period of one year (2010-10-2011-10) in Zhangjiangkou Mangrove National Nature Reserve, Fujian, China. The results showed that both season and diameter class exerted significant effects on the SFD of K. obovata trees.
