Non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol: High-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio is an independent risk factor for diabetes mellitus: Results from a population-based cohort study.

Background: Dyslipidemia predicts the development and progression of diabetes. A higher non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C):  HDL-C ratio is reportedly associated with metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance, but its relationship with glycemic levels and diabetes remains unclear.

Methods: In all, 4882 subjects aged ≥40 years without diabetes and not using lipid-lowering drugs were enrolled in the study.

[Progress of researches on lysozyme and its expression in Oncomelania hupensis].

Lysozyme generally exists in animals, plants and microorganisms, and it is used as a natural anti-infection material and one of the important non-specific immune factors in organisms. This paper reviews the progress of researches on its classification, gene structure and function, and expression regulation in Oncomelania hupensis, and on the factors affecting its activities in recent years, in order to further discuss its distribution in O. hupensis.
