Objectives: To examine age-specific trends and risk factors in the burden of women's cancers (WCs) in China from 1990 to 2019 to inform strategies.
Methods: Data were sourced from the Global Burden of Disease 2019 and World Population Prospects 2019. Time trends, age differences, and key factors for breast, cervical, and ovarian cancers (BC, CC, and OC) were analyzed based on age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) rate.
Polymer dielectrics are crucial for electronic communications and industrial applications due to their high breakdown field strength (E), fast charge/discharge speed, and temperature stability. The upcoming electronic-electrical systems pose a significant challenge, necessitating polymeric dielectrics to exhibit exceptional thermal stability and energy storage capabilities at high temperatures. Here, ultra-high dielectric constant (ɛ) and charge/discharge efficiency (η) of 0.

Diet during pregnancy is crucial to maternal metabolism and fetal development, so exploring the most potent food risk factor could improve maternal and child health. In this study, we investigated the diet and lifestyle of 833 healthy pregnant women in the second trimester from November 2020 to August 2021. Based on the Tianjin Antenatal Care System in China, we followed up with these women and recorded their gestational weight gain (GWG) and newborn birth weight.

Previous studies have been focused on the postpartum period, rather than pregnancy, yet the association of risk factors with prenatal depression and anxiety through pregnancy has been rarely reported. This study aimed to identify the risk factors of prenatal depression and anxiety, and access their potential roles in developing mental disorders during pregnancy.

Results: Compared to the wild type, transgenic creeping bentgrass exhibited a slower growth rate, heightened drought tolerance, and improved shade tolerance attributed to delayed leaf senescence. Additionally, transgenic plants showed significant increases in antioxidant enzyme levels, chlorophyll content, and soluble sugars.
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) presents varied manifestations throughout pregnancy and poses a complex clinical challenge. High-depth cell-free DNA (cfDNA) sequencing analysis holds promise in advancing our understanding of GDM pathogenesis and prediction. In 299 women with GDM and 299 matched healthy pregnant women, distinct cfDNA fragment characteristics associated with GDM are identified throughout pregnancy.

Methods: We conducted a 1:1 case-control study (n = 486) nested in a prospective cohort of pregnant women from 2010 to 2012. According to the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Group's criteria, 243 women were diagnosed with GDM.
To explore the expression and methylation levels of in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), discuss the mechanism of in AML and provide new strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of AML. qPCR, western blotting, cell counting kit-8 assay, bisulfite sequencing and other experiments were used in this study. The expression of was found to be downregulated in AML and is mainly affected by DNA promoter methylation.

However, the recurrence of infection and the antibiotic resistance of biofilms remain significant challenges for the treatment of BV. In this study, we aimed to analyze the pathogenic factors and drug sensitivity associated with the clinical treatment of BV in Northeast China.

Methods: Offspring of women with GDM (n = 774) who were diagnosed in 2010-2012 were followed up to two years of age in Tianjin, China. Multinomial logistic regression was used to obtain odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of maternal and paternal prepregnancy obesity with offspring overweight at < 1, 1-1.
Background: Interactions between genetic, metabolic, and environmental factors lead to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). We aimed to examine interactive effects of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 regulatory subunit-associated protein1-like 1(CDKAL1) rs7747752 polymorphism with low serum levels of L-carnitine, choline, and betaine for GDM.
Methods: A nested case-control study of 207 GDM women and their one-to-one, age-matched controls was organized from a prospective cohort of pregnant women in Tianjin, China.

Aims: The study aimed to explore additive interactions of rs7747752 and GUDCA/DCA for GDM risk and whether the interactive effects on the risk of GDM was mediated increasing lysophosphatidylcholines (LPC) 18:0 and/or saturated fatty acid (SFA) 16:0.
Methods: A 1:1 age-matched study nested in a prospective cohort of pregnant women (207 pairs) was organized in Tianjin, China. Additive interactions were used to test interaction effects while mediation analyses and Sobel tests were used to test mediation effects of LPC18:0 and SFA16:0 between copresence of rs7747752 and low GUDCA/DCA, and GDM risk.
Objective: We aimed to explore associations of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) in early pregnancy with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and whether high BCAAs and lipidomics markers had interactive effects on the risk of GDM.
Methods: We conducted a 1:1 case-control study (n = 486) nested in a prospective cohort of pregnant women in Tianjin, China. Blood samples were collected at their first antenatal care visit (median 10 gestational weeks).

Background: Newer antiepileptic drugs such as levetiracetam, lacosamide, topiramate, gabapentin, oxcarbazepine, lamotrigine, and zonisamide are prescribed by physicians for the treatment of epilepsy. These drugs are also associated with a series of eye disorders. However, very few studies have systemically compared eye disorders associated with newer AEDs in a large sample of patients diagnosed with epilepsy.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFWe conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the association of maternal gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and offspring overweight from birth to adulthood, and to assess the effects of lifestyle interventions in women with GDM on this risk of offspring overweight. We identified literature from PubMed and 12 other electronic databases and retrieved relevant literature published before October 20, 2020. Random-effects model analysis was used to calculate relative risks (RRs) of overweight and weighted mean differences of body mass index among children stratified into different developmental stages.
