The effect of Tai Chi on plasma homocysteine in 1176 adults: a propensity score matching-based study.

Background: Tai Chi is a low-impact form of exercise that involves a series of slow movements that flow together. Increased plasma homocysteine(Hcy) levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and may be reduced by exercise. This study aimed to compare plasma Hcy levels and the risk of hyperhomocysteinemia in 1,176 adults with and without Tai Chi exercises.

Using partially shared radiomics features to simultaneously identify isocitrate dehydrogenase mutation status and epilepsy in glioma patients from MRI images.

Prediction of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation status and epilepsy occurrence are important to glioma patients. Although machine learning models have been constructed for both issues, the correlation between them has not been explored. Our study aimed to exploit this correlation to improve the performance of both of the IDH mutation status identification and epilepsy diagnosis models in patients with glioma II-IV.

Valvular heart disease and heart-related disease: a bibliometric and visual analysis from 2000 to 2023.

Background: Previous studies have shown that valvular heart disease (VHD) is closely related to the development of heart-related disease (HRD). However, the current research for the relationship between VHD and HRD is complex and poorly targeted. Meanwhile, these studies lack the support of bibliometric analysis results.

Improving panicle blast resistance and fragrance in a high-quality rice variety through breeding.

Introduction: Huruan1212 (HR1212) is well-regarded for its superior eating and cooking quality in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China. Still, its high susceptibility to rice panicle blast and lack of fragrance have limited its further spread and utilization. and are two dominant genes known for their stable broad-spectrum resistance against rice blast fungus , while is the crucial gene that regulates rice aroma.
