Construction of a 3-year risk prediction model for developing diabetes in patients with pre-diabetes.

Introduction: To analyze the influencing factors for progression from newly diagnosed prediabetes (PreDM) to diabetes within 3 years and establish a prediction model to assess the 3-year risk of developing diabetes in patients with PreDM.

Methods: Subjects who were diagnosed with new-onset PreDM at the Physical Examination Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from October 1, 2015 to May 31, 2023 and completed the 3-year follow-up were selected as the study population. Data on gender, age, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, etc.

Dietary diversity and possible sarcopenia among older people in China: a nationwide population-based study.

Background: Sarcopenia is a common geriatric disease. Many dietary factors may contribute to the development of sarcopenia. Few studies have been conducted on dietary diversity and sarcopenia in Chinese older adults.

Establishment of a Scale for Predicting Early Hematoma Enlargement of Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage Based on Non-Contrast CT Signs.

Aim: To optimize the Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) early hematoma expansion prediction scoring table to adopt appropriate clinical treatment plans and improve the prognosis of sICH patients.

Material And Methods: A total of 150 patients with sICH were enrolled, and 44 had early hematoma expansion. According to the selection and exclusion criteria, the study subjects were screened, their NCCT characteristic signs and clinical data were analyzed statistically.

Effects of thriving at work on employees' family role performance: A moderated mediation model.

Objective: Existing research has demonstrated that thriving at work has a positive effect on work performance, but little is known about how thriving at work affects family role performance. Based on the work-home resource model, this study examines the impact mechanism of thriving at work on family role performance.

Methods: This paper uses an experience sampling method to conduct a 5-day daily study of 151 married employees in Northwest China, and the data were analyzed using a multilevel linear model.

Echogenicity Changes in Brainstem Raphe Detected by Transcranial Parenchymal Sonography and Clinical Characteristics in Parkinson's Disease.

Decreased brainstem raphe (BR) echogenicity detected by transcranial parenchymal sonography (TCS) is associated with depression in psychiatric and neurologic diseases. However, previous studies focusing on the relationship between motor and non-motor symptoms and echogenicity changes in BR in patients with PD yielded controversial results. To investigate the relationship between echogenicity changes in BR detected by TCS and motor and a series of non-motor symptoms in patients with PD.

Synergistic protection of bone vasculature and bone mass by desferrioxamine in osteoporotic mice.

It has previously been demonstrated that impaired angiogenesis is associated with metabolic abnormalities in bone in addition to osteoporosis (including postmenopausal osteoporosis). Enhancing vessel formation in bone is therefore a potential clinical therapy for osteoporosis. The present study conducted an in‑depth investigation using desferrioxamine (DFO) in an ovariectomy (OVX)‑induced osteoporotic mouse model in order to determine the time frame of alteration of bone characteristics and the therapeutic effect of DFO.

The Randomized Response Technique Application in the Survey of Homosexual Commercial Sex among Men in Beijing.

Background: Traditional survey methods may cause refusals to respond or untruthful replies when encounter the sensitive questions. The Randomized Response Technique (RRT) is designed to decrease social desirability bias and obtain reliable estimates. This study aimed to apply these new methods on the sensitive questions survey.
