Associations between life's essential 8 and femoral neck bone mineral density among adults: A national population-based study.

Osteoporosis represents a significant public health issue, impacting both health outcomes and economic costs. This research investigates how cardiovascular health, as indicated by the LE8 score, correlates with bone mineral density (BMD). Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning 2011 to 2018 were analyzed in this cross-sectional analysis, including 9018 subjects following the exclusion of individuals lacking BMD or LE8 data.

Associations of ethylene oxide exposure and "Life's Essential 8".

Ethylene oxide (EtO) is a widely used industrial chemical with recognized health risks. While its carcinogenic properties have been extensively studied, emerging evidence suggests potential associations with cardiovascular diseases. Using the recently introduced Life's Essential 8 (LE8) score as a comprehensive cardiovascular health (CVH) measure, this study aimed to elucidate the relationship between EtO exposure and CVH.

Health risk assessment of PM on walking trips.

PM has an impact on residents' physical health during travelling, especially walking completely exposed to the environment. In order to obtain the specific impact of PM on walking, 368 healthy volunteers were selected and they were grouped according to gender and age. In the experiment, the heart rate change rate (HR%) is taken as test variable.

Inhibitory Effect of Lentivirus-Mediated Gag-Caspase-8 on the Growth of HER-2 Overexpressing Primary Human Breast Cancer Cells.

Apoptosis plays an essential role in the development and treatment of tumors, and caspase-8 () plays an important role in the enzyme cascade reaction that leads to apoptosis. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) overexpressing breast cancer is highly aggressive and has a high recurrence rate and poor prognosis. This study investigated whether lentivirus-mediated Gag-CASP8 can effectively deliver activated CASP8 into primary human breast cancer cells overexpressing HER-2 to induce apoptosis and explore the underlying mechanism.

The taxonomic relevance of flower colour for (Berberidaceae), with morphological and nomenclatural notes for five species from China.

Morphological variations, particularly flower colour, could be considered as an evolutionarily and ornamentally significant taxonomic criterion for . Our extensive field investigation based on population studies revealed abundant intraspecific variations in flower colour. Five species, (i.

A taxonomic revision of three Chinese spurless species of genus L. (Berberidaceae).

Due to some common or similar features (e.g., small leaf, spurless, yellow flower), three Chinese species of the genus (Berberidaceae), , , and , are controversial based on morphological characteristics.
