Background: The association of a single time-point measure of sleep duration with cardio-metabolic disease has been extensively studied, but few studies have focused on the impact of sleep duration trajectory. This study aims to model the sleep duration trajectory as predictors for the subsequent development of cardio-metabolic disease.
Methods: This study recruited a notably large population (n = 9883) of subjects aged at least 45 years from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), who participated in sequential surveys conducted in 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2018.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the role of RNA helicase DDX17 in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) using mouse models to understand how it affects lipid metabolism and liver inflammation.
- Researchers observed that DDX17 expression was significantly higher in liver tissues from patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and found that knocking down DDX17 reduced lipid accumulation while overexpressing it increased lipid build-up in liver cells.
- The findings suggest that DDX17 contributes to the progression of NASH by promoting lipid accumulation and influencing liver cell function, indicating its potential as a therapeutic target in fatty liver diseases.
We conducted a multicentre cross-sectional survey of COVID-19 patients to evaluate the acute psychological impact on the patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) during isolation treatment based on online questionnaires from 2 February to 5 March 2020. A total of 460 COVID-19 patients from 13 medical centers in Hubei province were investigated for their mental health status using online questionnaires (including Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, Patient Health Questionnaire-15, and Insomnia Severity Index scales). Among all 460 COVID-19 patients, 187 (40.
