The prenatal weekly temperature exposure and neonatal congenital heart disease: a large population-based observational study in China.

We aim to explore the link between maternal weekly temperature exposure and CHD in offspring and identify the relative contributions from heat and cold and from moderate and extreme atmospheric temperature. From January 2019 to December 2020, newborns who were diagnosed with CHD by echocardiography in the Network Platform for Congenital Heart Disease (NPCHD) from 11 cities in eastern China were enrolled in the present study. We appraised the exposure lag response relationship between temperature and CHDs in the distributed lag nonlinear model and further probed the pooled estimates by multivariate meta-analysis.

Geographical and Socioeconomic Factors Influence the Birth Prevalence of Congenital Heart Disease: A Population-based Cross-sectional Study in Eastern China.

Neonatal congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital anomaly. As a practical matter of people's livelihood, cardiac ultrasonography was performed on potential CHD children in 11 cities eastern China. In this study, we aimed to document the birth prevalence of CHD and its socioeconomic and geographical distribution, as supported by this public health policy.

Maternal air pollution exposure and neonatal congenital heart disease: A multi-city cross-sectional study in eastern China.

Objective: To examine the association between air pollution and neonatal congenital heart disease (CHD), and evaluate the cumulative burden of CHD attributed to above certain level for ambient air pollution exposure.

Methods: We identified newborns who were diagnosed as CHD by echocardiography in Network Platform for Congenital Heart Disease (NPCHD) from January 2019 to December 2020 in 11 cities eastern China. The exposure lag response relationship between air pollutants (PM, PM, SO, NO, CO, and O) concentration and CHDs was calculated by the distributed lag nonlinear model (DLNM).

Identification of Sphaeroma terebrans via morphology and the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene.

Sphaeroma terebrans, a wood-boring isopoda, is distributed worldwide in tropical and subtropical mangroves. The taxonomy of S. terebrans is usually based on morphological characteristics, with its molecular identification still poorly understood.

Characteristics and phylogenetic studies of Acrossocheilus parallens (Cypriniformes, Barbinae) complete mitochondrial genome.

In this paper, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Acrossocheilus parallens was determined. The circle genome (16 591 bp) comprises 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and one control region. The overall base composition of A.

The complete mitogenome of the Sheatfish Pterocryptis cochinchinensis (Siluriformes: Siluridae) and phylogenetic implications.

To better understand the phylogenetic status of the Sheatfish, Pterocryptis cochinchinensis, we determined its complete mitogenome sequence using polymerase chain reaction and the direct sequencing method. The complete mitogenome sequence was 16,501bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 1 control region (D-loop), the gene was identical to typical vertebrate. This was the first report of the complete mitogenome sequence in genus Pterocryptis.
