The Burden of Hepatitis B and C in Asia, 1990-2019: An Update Analysis From the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019.

Aim: This research was aimed to uncover the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) related diseases burden in Asia over the past 3 decades, estimating from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019.

Methods: Age-standardised rates, case numbers of prevalence, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), incidence and deaths with 95% uncertainty intervals (UI) for HBV/HCV-related diseases from 1990 to 2019 were derived from GBD 2019 database, with the estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) calculated. Our analysis also encompassed the association between the Sociodemographic Index (SDI) and the burden of HBV/HCV-related diseases, future disease burden predictions in six selected countries and various risk factors.

Trends and prevalence of eating disorders in children and adolescents.

Background: Eating disorders (EDs) have increasingly become a public health problem globally, especially among children and adolescents.

Aim: To estimate the burden of EDs in children and adolescents (ages 5-19 years) at the global, regional, and national levels.

Methods: Retrieved from Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 for EDs, including anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, we extracted the disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and prevalence rates with 95% uncertainty intervals between 1990-2019.

Copper metabolism-related lncRNAs predict prognosis and immune landscape in liver cancer patients.

Background: Characterized by its high mortality and easy recurrence, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) poses significant clinical challenges. The association between copper metabolism and development of cancer has been identified. However, the underlying mechanisms of copper metabolism-related long non-coding RNAs (CMRLs) in HCC remain elusive.

Global, regional, and national burden of gastrointestinal cancers among adolescents and young adults from 1990 to 2019, and burden prediction to 2040.

Background: Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers have heavily burdened public health. Few studies reported GI cancer burden among adolescents and young adults (AYA). To address this gap, we explored the burden of GI cancer among people aged 15-39.

Identification and expression analysis of the SPL gene family during flower bud differentiation in Rhododendron molle.

Background: The family of SQUAMOSA promoter binding protein-like (SPL) transcription factors is essential for regulating plant growth and development. While this SPL gene functional research has been limited in Rhododendron molle (R. molle).

Global burden and cross-country inequalities in diseases associated with high body mass index from 1990 to 2019: Result from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019.

Background: High body mass index (BMI) has gradually become an increased risk factor for the global burden of diseases (GBD). As the disease burden and the number of elders globally increase, it is crucial for policymakers to realise the associations between high BMI and disease burden worldwide in a timely manner and to develop effective interventions for different countries and ages.

Methods: We used the GBD 2019 database to analyse the deaths and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) in the disease burden associated with high BMI and indicated the health inequality at the global, regional, and national levels.

Epidemiologic trends and survival outcomes in patients with primary digestive system lymphoma in the United States.

Background And Aims: Primary digestive system lymphoma (PDSL) is an important entity of extranodal lymphoma, yet updated epidemiologic and survival data are lacking.

Methods: Patients diagnosed with PDSL between 1975 and 2020 were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. Kaplan-Meier analysis estimated survival outcomes.

Trend of gastrointestinal and liver diseases in China: Results of the Global Burden of Disease Study, 2019.

Background: China is one of the countries with the largest burden of gastrointestinal and liver diseases (GILD) in the world. The GILD constitutes various causes of mortality and disability. The study aimed to investigate the trend of GILD in China using the Global Burden of Diseases Study 2019 (GBD 2019) data resources from 1990 to 2019.

Comparison of the burden of digestive diseases between China and the United States from 1990 to 2019.

Introduction: China has experienced unprecedented transformations unseen in a century and is gradually progressing toward an emerging superpower. The epidemiological trends of digestive diseases in the United States (the US) have significant prescient effects on China.

Methods: We extracted data on 18 digestive diseases from the Global Burden of Diseases 2019 Data Resource.

Global, regional, and national burdens of cancer in children aged zero to nine years from 1990 to 2019.

Background: The description of long-term trends in the cancer burden among children aged zero to nine years from 1990 to 2019 reveals significant changes in children's health. It helps in resource allocation and health policy planning. We analysed data on the incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) by sex and age group in children aged zero to nine.

The burden of mental disorders in Asian countries, 1990-2019: an analysis for the global burden of disease study 2019.

Mental disorders are the leading contributors to the globally nonfatal burden of disease. This study was aimed to estimate the burden of mental disorders in Asian countries. Based on GBD 2019, the prevalence and disability-adjusted life of years (DALYs) rates with 95% uncertainty intervals (UI) were estimated in Asian countries.

Global burden of early-onset colorectal cancer among people aged 40-49 years from 1990 to 2019 and predictions to 2030.

Purpose: To explore the disease burden of early-onset colorectal cancer (EO-CRC) in individuals aged 40-49 years and provide baseline evidence for routine recommended age adjustment for CRC screening and other clinical decision-making.

Methods: We collected data stratified by sex, risk factors, and socio-demographic index (SDI) from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 Data Resources. Trends in disease burden were analyzed by estimated annual percentage change.

Gender differences in the authorship of Global Major Gastroenterology Society Guidelines.

Background: Gender differences remain a serious issue in the gastroenterology field, which negatively affect the career success and academic advancement of female gastroenterologists. In this study, we aim to identify gender differences in the authors of global major Gastroenterology Society guidelines.

Methods: We included six associations and collected guidelines published between 2003 and 2022.

Motor expertise interacts with physical enactment to enhance action memory.

Previous research on action memory showed the advantage for performing the action in memorising the action phrases. We tested if performing the action would help participants with or without motor expertise to memorise the novel action poses. Thirty novel action poses performed by an expert were photographed to constitute memory and interference stimuli.
