Association between air pollution and hypertension hospitalizations: a time series analysis in Lanzhou.

Background: Air pollution is a major environmental risk factor. Hypertension is one of the most important modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. However, few studies have evaluated the impact of exposure to ambient air pollution on hypertension hospitalizations.

Can environmental policies improve marine ecological efficiency? Examining China's Ecological Civilization Pilot Zones.

Terrestrial ecosystems can benefit from environmental protection policies; however, their impact on marine ecological efficiency deserves further exploration. This study uses China's Ecological Civilization Pilot Zone (ECZ) policy as an example of a quasi-natural experimental study, with data from 11 coastal provinces in China from 2006 to 2019 as the initial sample. First, a Super-SBM model considers undesired outputs to measure marine eco-efficiency, while a synthetic control method (SCM) investigates the effect of environmental regulations on marine eco-efficiency.

Short-term effects of nitrogen dioxide on inpatient acute myocardial infarction in Lanzhou, China.

Nitrogen dioxide (NO) represents a deleterious effect on acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but few relevant studies have been conducted in China. We aim to evaluate the acute effects of NO exposure on hospitalization for AMI in Lanzhou, China. In this study, we applied a distributional lag nonlinear model (DLNM) to assess the association between NO exposure and AMI hospitalization.

Short-term association between air pollution and daily genitourinary disorder admissions in Lanzhou, China.

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between short-term exposure to ambient air pollution and the number of daily hospital admissions for genitourinary disorders in Lanzhou. Hospital admission data and air pollutants, including PM, PM, SO, NO, O8h and CO, were obtained from the period 2013 to 2020. A generalized additive model (GAM) combined with distribution lag nonlinear model (DLNM) based on quasi-Poisson distribution was used by the controlling for trends, weather, weekdays and holidays.

Association between air temperature and risk of hospitalization for genitourinary disorders: An environmental epidemiological study in Lanzhou, China.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between air temperature and the risk of hospitalization for genitourinary disorders.

Methods: Distributed lag non-linear models (DLNM) were used to estimate the association between air temperature and the risk of hospitalization for genitourinary disorders, with subgroup analysis by gender and age to identify the susceptible population of temperature-sensitive genitourinary system diseases.

Results: Low mean temperature (MT) (RR = 2.

Short-term effects of air pollution on hospitalization of children with acute upper respiratory infections: A time series analysis in Lanzhou, China.

Objective: Short-term air pollution exposure is correlated with childhood acute upper respiratory infections (AURI) hospitalizations. We surveyed the relationship between AURI hospitalizations and air pollutant concentrations in children aged 0-14 years from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2019 in Lanzhou City.

Methods: We collected both data on air pollutant concentrations and children's AURI hospitalizations during the study period.

Short-term effects of air pollution on hospitalization for acute lower respiratory infections in children: a time-series analysis study from Lanzhou, China.

Background: Short-term exposure to air pollution is associated with acute lower respiratory infections (ALRI) in children. We investigated the relationship between hospitalization for ALRI in children and air pollutant concentrations from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2020 in Lanzhou City.

Methods: We collected data on air pollutant concentrations and children's hospitalization data during the study period.

Acute effects of air pollution on type II diabetes mellitus hospitalization in Lanzhou, China.

Studies on the effects of short-term air pollution exposure on hospitalization for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are relatively scarce in developing regions. The time-series study was used to explore the acute effects of air pollutants on hospitalization for T2DM in Lanzhou, China. A distribution lag nonlinear model based on the generalized additive model was used to analyze the hospitalization impact of air pollution on T2DM.

Time Series Analysis of the Acute Effect of Atmospheric Fine Particulate Matter on Hospitalization for Heart Failure in Lanzhou, China.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between environmental PM 2.5 and heart failure (HF) hospitalization in Lanzhou, China.

Method: The correlation between atmospheric PM 2.

A Nomogram Prediction Model Based on Tissue Window for the Prognosis of Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke Undergoing Thrombectomy.

Objective: Thrombectomy greatly improves the clinical prognosis of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The aim of this study is to develop a nomogram model that can predict the prognosis of patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing thrombectomy.

Methods: We retrospectively collected information of patients with acute ischemic stroke who were admitted to the stroke Green Channel of the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from September 2018 to May 2022.

Characteristics of symptomatic plaque on high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging and its relationship with the occurrence and recurrence of ischemic stroke.

Background: Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of ischemia stroke. Computed tomographic angiography (CTA) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) are used to evaluate the degree of lumen stenosis. However, these examinations are invasive and can only reveal mild to moderate stenosis.

The fecal metabolome is associated with gestational diabetes mellitus.

Dysbiosis of gut microbiota has been linked to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and grows as a resource for GDM biomarkers. However, the contributions of gut microbiota to GDM remain incompletely understood. Metabolites are key messengers in the interactions between gut microbiota and the host.

[Clinical observation on warming-promotion acupuncture for lumbar muscle strain].

Objective: To observe the theraputic effect of warming-promotion acupuncture for lumbar muscle strain.

Methods: Sixty-four cases were randomly divided into a warming-promotion acupuncture group(group A) and a routine acupuncture group (group B), 32 cases in each group. The group A was treated with acupuncture at Shenshu (BL 23) and Guanyuanshu (BL 26) with warming-promotion acupuncture method, (Guanyuanshu (BL 26), Yaoyangguan (GV 3), Weizhong (BL 40) with twirling uniform reinforcing-reducing method.

[Observation on therapeutic effect of acupuncture at point "Xiajiquan" on muscular strength of finger after apoplexy].

METHODS; One hundred and twenty-three cases were randomly divided into an observation group of 63 cases and a control group of 60 cases. The control group were treated by acupuncture at Quchi (LI 11), Shousanli ( LI 10), Waiguan (TE 5), etc.
