Oral Microbiota Linking Associations of Dietary Factors with Recurrent Oral Ulcer.

Recurrent oral ulcer (ROU) is a prevalent and painful oral disorder with implications beyond physical symptoms, impacting quality of life and necessitating comprehensive management. Understanding the interplays between dietary factors, oral microbiota, and ROU is crucial for developing targeted interventions to improve oral and systemic health. Dietary behaviors and plant-based diet indices including the healthful plant-based diet index (hPDI) were measured based on a validated food frequency questionnaire.

Dietary patterns and their associations with the metabolic syndrome and predicted 10-year risk of CVD in northwest Chinese adults.

The impact of diet on the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and CVD has been investigated widely, but few studies have investigated the association between dietary patterns (DP) and the predicted CVD, derived from reduced rank regression (RRR). The objectives of this study were to derive DP using RRR and principal component analysis (PCA) and investigate their associations with the MetS and estimated 10-year atherosclerotic CVD (ASCVD). We used the baseline dataset from the Xinjiang multi-ethnic cohort study in China, collected from June 2018 to May 2019.

Comparison of lipid accumulation product and body mass index as indicators of diabetes diagnosis among 215,651 Chinese adults.

Purpose: We aimed to assess if lipid accumulation product (LAP) could outperform body mass index (BMI) as a marker for diabetes diagnosis.

Methods: We analyzed the results of a national physical examination project in Urumqi, China. This project was conducted in 442 community clinics in Urumqi from October 2016 to February 2017.

[The confidence affects willingness to use pre-exposure prophylaxis among MSM, based on Path analysis].

To analyze the influence of the confidence to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) on the willingness to use PrEP in men who have sex with men (MSM) by using the path analysis model based on structural equation model approach. A total of 550 MSM were recruited in Urumqi by snowball method and a questionnaire survey was conducted among them. According to the professional knowledge and analysis results of the confidence and willingness to use PrEP, structural equation model (SEM) analysis method was used to construct a path analysis model.

[Rush poppers use and risks of human papillomavirus infection among men who have sex with men in Urumqi: mediation effect through high-risk sexual behaviors].

To study the prevalence of rush poppers use among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Urumqi and to analyze the mediating effect of high-risk sexual behavior between the use of rush poppers and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. From January to June 2018, 651 MSM were recruited through network and publicity. Data was collected by using online questionnaire and anal swab were collected from them for HPV genotyping.
