Nutritional knowledge, attitude and practices among pregnant females in 2020 Shenzhen China: A cross-sectional study.

The theory of knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) can well explain the whole process of pregnant females' practice to obtain balanced nutrition. However, the process of KAP works very differently in populations with different sociodemography. This study aims to investigate the sociodemographic determinants associated with pregnant females' nutritional KAP and find a way to locate the vulnerable pregnant females who would benefit most from intervention.

The Roles of Ubiquitination Factor E4B (UBE4B) in the Postoperative Prognosis of Patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma and in Renal Tumor Cells Growth and Metastasis.

Object: This study aimed at investigating the clinical significance and biological function of ubiquitination factor E4B (UBE4B) in human renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Methods: 19 paired clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) tumor samples and the matched neighboring non-tumor samples were used to detect the expression of UBE4B in RCC tumor by Western blotting and RT-qPCR. UBE4B expression was also detected in 151 ccRCC paraffin-embedded tumor samples by using immunohistochemistry.

Attitudes towards acceptance of an innovative home-based and remote sensing rehabilitation protocol among cardiovascular patients in Shantou, China.

Background: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) protocols have diversified to include home-based cardiac tele-rehabilitation (HBCTR) as an alternative to hospital-based or center-based CR. To adopt the use of home-based cardiac tele-rehabilitation, it is necessary to assess cardiac patients' attitudes towards acceptance of such e-health technology, especially in China where knowledge of such technology is deficient.

Methods: Interviews were conducted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College, Shantou, China.

Purpose: To investigate the distribution of liver cancer mortality as well as its developing trend from l991 to 2012, forecast the future five-year trend, and provide a basis for the comprehensive prevention and management.

Materials And Methods: Mortality data for liver cancer in China from 1991 to 2012 were used to describe characteristics and distribution of liver cancer mortality. Trend surface analysis was used to study the geographical distribution of liver cancer mortality.

[Study on multi-angular polarized spectrum characteristics of leaf based on some indoor experimental data].

In the present study, we acquired multi-angular polarized spectrum of three kinds of leaves with different surface structures, and calculated the multi-angular spectral degree of polarization DOP based on Stokes parameters to explore its variation tendency with wavelength and the relationship between the leaf polarized reflectance and its physiological parameters and the relative observational geometric condition. The results show that although the spectral degree of polarization of the 3 kinds of leaves has obvious differences in value because of the leaf surface structures, the general trend of the DOP curve keeps consistent, and this trend could be explained by analyzing the properties of both specular and diffuse components of the leaf reflectance. The peak value of the DOP appears in the specular direction of the principal plane, and grows with the increase in the incident zenith angle.
