Oxidative stress is closely associated with the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) levels. A comprehensive indicator for evaluating dietary and lifestyle exposures to oxidative stress is the Oxidative Balance Score (OBS), with higher OBS suggesting more substantial antioxidant exposures. The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between OBS and eGFR levels.

Methods: The rats were categorized into six groups: control, dexamethasone (DEX), ovalbumin (OVA), and low-, median-, and high-dose BJPC. The rats, except for the control group, were initially treated with OVA to develop the asthma model, which was then activated using DEX, OVA, and low-, median-, and high-dose BJPC.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum lactate levels at admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) and the clinical outcomes of children with sepsis.
Methods: We used the Pediatric Intensive Care (PIC) database to identify 288 pediatric patients with sepsis. We analyzed the relationship between lactate levels and hospital and ICU mortality in sepsis by establishing a segmented multivariable Cox regression model.
Objectives: There is limited amount of research on the association between fecal incontinence (FI) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study aims to evaluate whether there is a relationship between FI and CVD among adults in the United States.
Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design, encompassing 11,237 adults aged 20 years and older, drawn from the National Health and Nutrition Survey conducted from 2005 to 2010.
Background: We aim to investigate the effect of YiQi GuBen formula (YQGB) on airway inflammation and airway remodeling in the ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthma model to further explore the potential mechanisms of YQGB in treating allergic asthma.
Methods: Mice were divided into five groups randomly (n = 10): the control group, OVA group, OVA + Dex (0.1 mg/kg) group, OVA + low-dose (1.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential relationship between sleep disturbances and various types of constipation in patients.
Methods: We conducted systematic searches in the research databases PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library to identify qualifying studies. Using Stata software version 14.
This study aims to explore the effect of YiQi GuBen capsule on improving mitochondrial dysfunction in an animal model of asthma. The mice ( = 8) were divided into four groups including control (NC), ovalbumin (OVA), dexamethasone (OVA + DEX), and YiQi GuBen (OVA + YQGB) groups. Firstly, we established an OVA-induced mouse asthma model except for the NC group, which then were treated with dexamethasone and YiQi GuBen capsule.

There are many existing studies on facial emotion assisted education evaluation, but most of them are based on virtual learning environments, which means that the research on facial emotion and learning effect in offline learning environments is sparse. In order to solve this problem, this study designed an emotion observation experiment based on the offline learning environment, obtained the type of learner facial emotion and learning effect of 127 college students, and further explored the relationship between the two.
