Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the under-five mortality rate (U5MR) in China from 1996 to 2020, highlighting a significant overall decline with rural areas showing a steeper reduction compared to urban areas.
- Trends in U5MR showed pneumonia caused the fastest decline, while conditions like congenital heart disease and accidental asphyxia saw slower reductions.
- A negative correlation was found between U5MR and factors such as hospital delivery rates and government health expenditure, suggesting targeted improvements in rural healthcare and increased government spending could help further reduce U5MR.
Association between serum total bilirubin and diabetic kidney disease in US diabetic patients.
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)
December 2023
Background: Bilirubin has been widely reported to be a protective factor against diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in Asian populations. However, few large-sample analyses have been conducted in American populations. This study aimed to investigate the association between serum total bilirubin (STB) level and DKD in a US diabetic cohort.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAcrylonitrile (ACN) treatment can induce testicular toxicity in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, with the toxicity potentially related to apoptosis, mediated by nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB). The present study investigated the potential role of NF-κB in the induction of apoptosis and testicular toxicity in ACN-treated rats. Adult male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 treatment groups: a control group (corn oil), an ACN group (50 mg/kg) in which ACN was administered by gavage, and an ACN and N-acetylcysteine (ACN+NAC) group.
