Pre-diagnosis Cruciferous Vegetables and Isothiocyanates Intake and Ovarian Cancer Survival: A Prospective Cohort Study.

The associations of the consumption of cruciferous vegetables (CVs) and their bioactive components, isothiocyanates (ITCs), with ovarian cancer (OC) mortality have been unclear, owing to limited studies and inconsistent findings. To date, no studies have evaluated these associations among Chinese patients with OC. This study aims to provide more evidence indicating the relationships of pre-diagnosis CVs and ITC intake with OC survival.

The Association Between Dairy Product Consumption and Asthenozoospermia Risk: A Hospital-Based Case-Control Study.

Evidence of an association between dairy product and main related dairy nutrient intake, and the asthenozoospermia risk have been limited and controversial. A hospital-based case-control study including 549 men with asthenozoospermia and 581 normozoospermic controls was carried out in the infertility clinics of Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University between June, 2020 and December, 2020. Dietary intake was assessed with a validated food frequency questionnaire.

Shift work and health outcomes: an umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses of epidemiological studies.

Study Objectives: Shift work is commonly increasing, and some physiological changes occur as workers sleep less and their circadian rhythms are disrupted. This umbrella review not only summarizes the evidence but also evaluates the validity of the associations of shift work with different health outcomes.

Methods: We searched the MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Embase databases from their inception to April 25, 2020.

Dietary Inflammatory Index and Risk of Asthenozoospermia: A Hospital-Based Case-Controlled Study in China.

Evidence of associations between a pro-inflammatory diet and asthenozoospermia risk is limited. We therefore performed a case-controlled study to investigate associations between pro-inflammatory diet using dietary inflammatory index (DII) scores and asthenozoospermia risk in China. Our hospital-based case-controlled study comprised 549 incident asthenozoospermia men and 581 healthy controls.

Global, regional, and national endometriosis trends from 1990 to 2017.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus that causes pelvic pain and infertility. We used the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) 2017 to comprehensively analyze the burden of endometriosis between 1990 and 2017. DisMod-MR 2.

[Characterization of the Effect of Anion on the Complex of Oat β-Glucan and Congo Red with UV-Vis Absorption Spectroscopy].

The effects of concentration and type of anions on aggregation of Congo red in solution were studied with UV-Visible spectroscopy. And the influence of anions on the complex of Congo red and oat β-glucan was further studied. The results showed that the maximum absorption wavelength of Congo red in aqueous solution shifted toward the shorter wavelength, and the absorbency lowered considerably with increasing ionic concentration.
