Background: Understanding the incidence pattern of cutaneous reactions is crucial for promoting COVID-19 vaccination. We aimed to report the global incidence pattern of, and factors associated with common cutaneous reactions related to COVID-19 vaccination in real-world settings.

Methods: We searched five databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CNKI, and Wanfang) from inception to May 13, 2022, for studies reporting the incidence of common cutaneous reactions related to COVID-19 vaccines in real-world settings.

Context: The influences of diabetes duration and glycemic control and their potential interplays on the risk of heart failure (HF) remain unclear.

Objective: This work aimed to investigate the association of diabetes duration and glycemic control with the risk of HF.

Methods: A total of 23 754 individuals with diabetes but without HF during the baseline recruitment of UK Biobank were included in this study.

Background: Numerous studies have suggested that age at first birth (AFB) is inversely associated with metabolic diseases, but positively associated with liver cancer in women. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a canonical example of metabolic dysfunction and inflammation-based liver disease, while the association between AFB and the risk of NAFLD remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the association between AFB and the odds of NAFLD in women.

Based on the daily monitoring data of urban air quality in Shandong province from 2016 to 2020, combined with socio-economic data such as population density and urbanization rate, as well as meteorological data such as wind speed, temperature, and relative humidity, the methods of geographic weighted regression (GWR), multiscale geographically weighted regression (MGWR), and wavelet analysis were comprehensively applied to explore the temporal and spatial distribution characteristics of air pollutants and their relationship with socio-economic and meteorological elements. The results showed that:① In the past five years, the air quality in Shandong province has shown an overall improvement trend. Except for ozone, the concentrations of SO, NO, PM, and PM decreased annually.

Previous studies reported regional variations in in-hospital acute coronary syndrome (ACS) mortality, but the reasons for that were not clearly defined. We explored whether differences in patient characteristics could explain regional variation. The Improving Care for Cardiovascular Disease in China (CCC)-ACS project is an ongoing national registry and quality improvement project, involving 150 tertiary hospitals from 30 provinces across China.

Flos Lonicerae Japonicae (FLJ) is an important cash crop in eastern Asia, and it is an anti-inflammatory Traditional Chinese Medicine. There are large variations in the quality of the marketed FLJ products. To find marker ingredients useful for quality control, a tandem technology integrating ultra-performance liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q/TOF), principal component analysis (PCA), heat map analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis coupled with a NF-κB luciferase reporter gene assay were used to identify the different ingredients from the green bud, white bud, flowering stage and leaf stages, as well as to screen the anti-inflammatory activity of FLJ compositions.
