Individual and joint association of Life's Essential 8 metrics with pre-sarcopenia among U.S. adults.

Background: In recent times, the American Heart Association has updated its approach to evaluating cardiovascular health (CVH) by replacing the previous "Life's Simple 7" with the more demanding "Life's Essential 8" (LE8). However, the impact of enhancing CVH on reducing the risk of pre-sarcopenia and the association of LE8 metrics with pre-sarcopenia remain unexplored.

Methods: LE8 score was calculated among 9857 participants.

Ameliorating Effects of Graphene Oxide on Cadmium Accumulation and Eco-Physiological Characteristics in a Greening Hyperaccumulator ( Thunb.).

Graphene oxide (GO), as a novel carbon-based nanomaterial (CBN), has been widely applied to every respect of social life due to its unique composite properties. The widespread use of GO inevitably promotes its interaction with heavy metal cadmium (Cd), and influences its functional behavior. However, little information is available on the effects of GO on greening hyperaccumulators under co-occurring Cd.

Prognostic Value of PtfV1 in Long-Term Outcomes of Patients with Unstable Angina.

Background: P-wave terminal force in lead V1 (PtfV1) irregularity has been associated with various cardiovascular conditions, including atrial fibrillation, left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, valvular heart disease, congestive heart failure, stroke, and mortality. However, its prognostic value for unstable angina (UA) has not been extensively studied. To address this knowledge gap, this study aimed to evaluate the long-term predictive significance of PtfV1 at discharge for UA patients.

Triglyceride-glucose index on risk of adverse events after drug-coated balloon angioplasty.

Background: The pathogenetic mechanism of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases is associated with insulin resistance (IR), which serves as a metabolic risk factor. As a novel indication for IR, triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index may predict cardiovascular disease outcomes.

Methods: In current study, a cohort of 157 individuals with newly developed de novo lesions who received DCB angioplasty between January 2017 and May 2021 were included.

Effects of Cadmium Stress on Carbon Sequestration and Oxygen Release Characteristics in A Landscaping Hyperaccumulator- Thunb.

The carbon sequestration and oxygen release of landscape plants are dominant ecological service functions, which can play an important role in reducing greenhouse gases, improving the urban heat island effect and achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. In the present study, we are choosing Thunb. as a model plant to show the effects of Cd stress on growth, photosynthesis, carbon sequestration and oxygen release characteristics.

Quantitative proteomics analysis to assess protein expression levels in the ovaries of pubescent goats.

Background: Changes in the abundance of ovarian proteins play a key role in the regulation of reproduction. However, to date, no studies have investigated such changes in pubescent goats. Herein we applied isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to analyze the expression levels of ovarian proteins in pre-pubertal (n = 3) and pubertal (n = 3) goats.

The expression of IGFBP-5 in the reproductive axis and effect on the onset of puberty in female rats.

Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-5 (IGFBP-5) has recently been shown to alter the reproductive capacity by regulating insulin-like growth factor (IGF) bioavailability or IGF-independent effects. The present study aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of IGFBP-5 on the onset of puberty in female rats. Immunofluorescence and real-time quantitative PCR were used to determine the expression and location of IGFBP-5 mRNA and protein distribution in the infant's hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary (HPO) axis prepuberty, peripuberty, puberty and adult female rats.

Electric Field-Enhanced Cadmium Accumulation and Photosynthesis in a Woody Ornamental Hyperaccumulator- Thunb.

The multi-system of electro-phytotechnology using a woody ornamental cadmium (Cd) hyperaccumulator ( Thunb.) is a new departure for environmental remediation. The effects of four electric field conditions on Cd accumulation, growth, and photosynthesis of under four Cd treatments were investigated.

Analysis of protein phosphorylation sites in the hypothalamus tissues of pubescent goats.

Protein phosphorylation plays an important role in animal reproduction. However, its role in the onset of puberty in goats remains largely unexplored. Accordingly, in the present study, the molecular changes controlling the onset of puberty in goats were investigated by identifying the differentially phosphorylated proteins (DPPs) and phosphorylation sites (DPSs) in the hypothalami of prepubertal and pubertal female goats using LC-MS/MS and tandem mass tag labelling.

[Effects of water and nitrogen stress on water utilization of dominant species in broadleaved Korean pine forest in Changbai Mountain, China].

The aggravation of global nitrogen deposition may change plant water utilization and affect plant growth. Understanding the changes of vegetation water consumption under nitrogen deposition is of great significance for simulating and predicting the evolution of each component of forest hydrological cycle. We used the hydrogen and oxygen isotope tracer method to analyze water consumption source, quantity and law of (Qm), (Fm) and (Ta), the dominant species in broadleaved Korean pine forest of Changbai Mountain, under different add amounts of nitrogen [low nitrogen addition group (11.
