Association of caffeine intake and sleep duration with bone mineral density: a cross-sectional study from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 2011 and 2018.

Objective: The association between sleep duration, caffeine intake, and bone mineral density (BMD) is not well understood, with previous studies providing controversial results. This study explores the associations among caffeine intake, sleep duration, and BMD.

Methods: Data were sourced from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2011 to 2018, including 13,457 participants who self-reported sleep duration and caffeine intake, with BMD measured via dual X-ray absorptiometry.

Ginsenoside Re suppresses high glucose-induced apoptosis of placental trophoblasts through endoplasmic reticulum stress-related CHOP/GADD153.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a metabolic disorder that arises during pregnancy and heightens the risk of placental dysplasia. Ginsenoside Re (Re) may stabilize insulin and glucagon to regulate glucose levels, which may improve diabetes-associated diseases. This study aims to investigate the mechanism of Re in high glucose (HG)-induced apoptosis of trophoblasts through endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-related protein CHOP/GADD153.

Tenascin-C promotes bone regeneration via inflammatory macrophages.

During the early stage of tissue injury, macrophages play important roles in the activation of stem cells for further regeneration. However, the regulation of macrophages during bone regeneration remains unclear. Here, the extracellular matrix (ECM) tenascin-C (TNC) is found to express in the periosteum and recruit inflammatory macrophages.

The impact of preschool children's physical fitness evaluation under self organizing maps neural network.

To improve the scientific accuracy and precision of children's physical fitness evaluations, this study proposes a model that combines self-organizing maps (SOM) neural networks with cluster analysis. Existing evaluation methods often rely on traditional, single statistical analyses, which struggle to handle the complexity of high-dimensional, nonlinear data, resulting in a lack of precision and personalization. This study uses the SOM neural network to reduce the dimensionality of high-dimensional health data.
