Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the risk factors and predictors of non-obese fatty liver disease in the Chinese population.

Patients And Methods: A total of 6,014 adults who underwent physical examinations at Union Hospital of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from March 2019 to March 2023 were included in this study. Fatty liver disease was diagnosed based on at least two of the following criteria: diffuse echo patterns relative to the liver, spleen, and kidney; ultrasonic beam attenuation; and poor intrahepatic visual details.

Aim: The existence of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is extremely widespread, causing serious diseases in patients with low immune function. The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and mechanism of Corilagin in the control of CMV infection, in order to provide scientific basis for the control of CMV infection.

Methods: Our study employed an animal model in Balb/c mice, infected with MCMV, alongside cellular models in HFF cells and THP-1 cells, stimulated with HCMV.

Background: Metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a novel concept proposed in 2020, which is more practical for identifying patients with fatty liver disease with high risk of disease progression. Fatty liver is a driver for extrahepatic complications, particularly cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Although the risk of CVD in MAFLD could be predicted by carotid ultrasound test, a very early stage prediction method before the formation of pathological damage is still lacking.

Tongcheng (TC) pigs, distinguished by their superior meat quality, are a Chinese indigenous pig breed. Recently, the genetic resources of TC pigs are under tremendous threat due to the introduction of cosmopolitan pig breeds and African swine fever disease. To promote their management and conservation, the present study assessed genetic diversity and population structure of TC pigs using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers.

Morphine is an analgesic widely adopted to relieve cancer pain. A number of discrepancies, however, are presented by the published literature, with reports suggesting that opioids may either promote or inhibit the spread of cancer. It is of great significance to determine whether morphine may increase the risk of metastasis while utilized in liver cancer surgical treatment.

The aims of this study were to investigate the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) at ST36 and PC6 points on solid gastric emptying and dyspeptic symptoms in patients with functional dyspepsia. Nineteen patients with functional dyspepsia (FD) were involved in the study, consisting of two parts: (1) acute effects of EA on solid gastric emptying in FD patients with delayed gastric emptying and (2) short-term (2-week) effects of EA on symptoms in FD patients with normal gastric emptying. Results were as follows.
