Background: Low birth weight (LBW, < 2500 g) is an essential indicator of neonatal death and poor infant development, but data on LBW among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-exposed infants in China is inadequate.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the temporal trend and factors associated with the LBW among HIV-exposed infants in Hubei province, China.
Methods: The pregnant women living with HIV in Hubei province, China between Jan 2004 and Dec 2021 were enrolled this study.
Objectives: To investigate the prevalence and recurrence rates of spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) in patients with diffuse cystic lung diseases (DCLDs).
Methods: We retrospectively identified and analyzed medical records of patients with DCLDs encountered at the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China from Jan 1, 2017 to December 31, 2023.
Results: A total of 289 patients were identified with DCLDs; 212 females and 77 males, with a median age of 48 years (range, 18-81 years).
Most heavy metal ions are carcinogenic and non-biodegradable, posing threats to ecological balance and human health in trace amount. Therefore, there is a pressing demand for rapid and dependable detection technologies. Electrochemical sensing technology distinguishes itself with its ease of use and swiftness, rendering it perfect for the expeditious detection of heavy metal elements.

Cardiol Res Pract
November 2024
This study aimed to investigate the impact of the NOD1/Rip2 signaling pathway on macrophage inflammatory activation and polarity switching in ox-LDL-induced THP-1-derived macrophages. THP-1-derived macrophages were stimulated with various concentrations (10, 25, or 50 mg/L) of ox-LDL for different durations (8, 16, or 24 h). Quantitative real-time PCR was used to measure the mRNA expression of NOD1, Rip2, IL-10, IL-12, iNOS, and Arg-1.

- Nighttime crashes involving older pedestrians are a major safety issue due to factors like reduced vision and slower reaction times.
- This study reviews crash data in Texas from 2017 to 2022 using Association Rules Mining to pinpoint risks related to lighting conditions for older pedestrians aged 65-74 and over 74.
- Findings show that higher speed limits and complex road environments raise the likelihood of severe injuries, especially in poor lighting, suggesting a need for solutions like lower speed limits and better street lighting to enhance safety.
The abundant variety of yeasts and their diverse applications have essential roles in traditional Mexican alcoholic beverage fermentation processes. During our investigation of yeast diversity associated with Pulque, 41 yeast strains were characterized. Among them, 31 strains were eight known species belonging to seven genera.

This study aimed to describe the temporal trends and inequalities of liver complications related to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (LC-MASLD) by geographical region, age and sex during 1990-2021.
Methods: Global Burden of Diseases Study 2021 data were analysed to assess LC-MASLD incidence, prevalence, mortality and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs).
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the genetic differences related to spawning abilities in Pacific white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) by analyzing structural variations (SVs) in shrimp with high and low fertility.
- - Researchers identified 2,323 SV events in high fertility (HF) shrimp and 1,859 in low fertility (LF) shrimp, linking these variations to specific genes that play a role in reproduction.
- - The findings suggest that certain genes, such as Cttn and Lhcgr, may be key to enhancing fertility in shrimp, providing a foundation for future research and targeted breeding strategies.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on 100 patients diagnosed with Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (BHD) using newly proposed diagnostic criteria in China, aiming to improve clinical practice for this rare lung disease.
- Key findings included common symptoms such as pulmonary cysts (99%), pneumothorax (60%), and skin lesions (77%), while 37% of patients reported no family history of BHD.
- The research identified a variety of FLCN germline mutations, including six new ones, and highlighted a significant delay in diagnosis, averaging 7.6 years after initial symptoms.
Article Synopsis
- * The patient was treated with itraconazole, an antifungal medication, leading to significant improvement in his skin lesions after three months.
- * Additionally, the article reviews existing literature on 33 other patients with primary cutaneous cryptococcosis over the past decade, highlighting the condition's clinical features and treatment outcomes.
Investigating the temporal trends of diabetes disease burden in China during 1990-2019 from a global perspective.

Introduction: Diabetes poses a global public health challenge and our understanding of its temporal evolution in China relative to the rest of the world is limited. Our study aims to comprehensively examine the temporal trend of diabetes DALYs in China from a global perspective.
Methods: We analyzed data on diabetes incidence, prevalence, and mortality for individuals aged ≥20 years in China and globally from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2019 study.
Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) has become a public health concern with global ageing. However, comprehensive assessments of the temporal and geographical trend of PD disease burden in China remain insufficient. This study aimed to examine the burden of PD by age, gender, and geographical region in China during 1990-2021.

The continuous focus on both clinical and basic biology of bladder cancer leads us to characterize aberrant abundance of BACH1-IT2 associating with stabilization of Siglec-15, which eventually contributes to local immune suppressive microenvironment and therefore tumor advance. This effect was evidently mediated by miR-4786-5p.

However, an optimal screening method for detecting advanced adenoma (AA), a significant precursor lesion, remains elusive.
Methods: We employed five machine learning methods, using clinical and laboratory data, to develop and validate a diagnostic model for identifying patients with AA (569 AAs vs.
Emerging evidence suggests a link between γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT) and various malignancies. However, the relationship between GGT and advanced colorectal adenoma, a critical precursor to colorectal cancer, remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate this relationship.

However, the propensity for Sn to undergo facile oxidation from Sn to Sn poses a significant challenge to the stability of these mixed perovskites, limiting their advancement. This study proposes an innovative acetic acid (HAc)-driven synthesis approach to obtain a stable chain-like MAPbSnBr nano-assembly.

- The research uses a deep learning model, Inception-v3, to analyze pedestrian crash data from Louisiana (2016-2021) and categorize crash severity into fatal, injury, and no injury.
- The Boruta algorithm identifies important variables influencing crash severity, such as pedestrian age, alcohol involvement, and environmental conditions.
- The study employs advanced data balancing techniques and shows that the combined sampling model significantly improves prediction accuracy compared to traditional models, achieving up to 93.5% accuracy for fatal crashes.
