Article Synopsis
- The study examines the link between dietary patterns and prediabetes among Chinese adults in Jiangsu province, utilizing data from over 7,500 participants.
- A "Healthy diet" is correlated with a lower likelihood of prediabetes, while a "Meat diet" and "Fried food with staple diet" are associated with increased risk, particularly for isolated Impaired Fasting Glycemia (IFG) and combined Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT).
- The findings suggest that adopting a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and low in meats can significantly reduce the risk of developing prediabetes.
Background: Dysregulations of and were found to be related to lipid metabolism abnormality, which had been proven to be one of the mechanisms of stroke. However, limited epidemiological studies explore the associations between and and the risk of stroke among patients with hypertension in China.
Aims: We aimed to investigate the associations between genetic variants in and and the risk of stroke among patients with hypertension, as well as to explore gene-gene and gene-environment interactions.
This work reports the study on the evolution of native defects in ZnO nanorods irradiated with hydrogen ion. ZnO nanorod arrays grown vertically on silicon substrates were irradiated by 180 keV H ions to a total fluence of 8.50 × 10 ions/cm.

We aimed to investigate the associations between genetic variants in and genes and the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in Chinese population.
Methods: Blood samples were drawn from 400 T2DM patients and 400 age- and gender-matched controls.
Cigarettes contain various chemicals with the potential to influence metabolic health. Exposure to cigarette smoke causes a dysfunction in pancreatic β-cells and impairs insulin production. However, the mechanisms for cigarette smoke-induced reduction of insulin remain largely unclear.
