The role of cardiovascular health in the associations between insulin resistance, future cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality.

Background: Whether cardiovascular health (CVH) modifies the associations between insulin resistance (IR) and prognosis remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the varying relationships between IR, future cardiovascular disease (CVD), and all-cause mortality across different CVH statuses.

Methods: This was a nationwide cohort study using data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey.

Transcriptomic landscape of staminate catkins development during overwintering process in .

, belonging to the cold-specialized lineage Betulaceae, exhibits a unique reproductive strategy where staminate catkins emerge in the first summer and undergo an overwintering process, culminating in flowering in the following year. However, the underlying regulatory mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the male germline development of in four distinct stages: microsporocytes in Oct.

Comparison of induction chemotherapy combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy versus concurrent chemoradiotherapy alone in Lymph-Node-Stage III nasopharyngeal carcinoma based on propensity score-matching.

Purpose: To explore the role of induction chemotherapy (IC) followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) versus CCRT alone in patients diagnosed with N3 nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).

Patients And Methods: A total of 787 patients with newly diagnosed N3 NPC treated with IC + CCRT or CCRT alone were included. Progression-free survival (PFS) was the primary endpoint.
