Triglycerides and HDL Cholesterol Mediate the Association Between Waist Circumference and Hyperuricemia in Normal-Weight Men.

Purpose: Hyperuricemia has traditionally been associated with obesity and dyslipidemia. However, the relationship between waist circumference (WC) and hyperuricemia in normal-weight men is still unclear, particularly regarding the roles of triglycerides (TG) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). The aim of this research was to explore the mediating roles of TG and HDL-C in the association between WC and hyperuricemia in normal-weight men.

Identification and functional study of detoxification-related genes in response to tolfenpyrad stress in Glyphodes pyloalis Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae).

Glyphodes pyloalis Walker (G. pyloalis) is a common destructive mulberry pest. Due to the long-term and frequent use of insecticides, it has developed tolerance to commonly used insecticides.

Machine Learning Models in Type 2 Diabetes Risk Prediction: Results from a Cross-sectional Retrospective Study in Chinese Adults.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has become a prevalent health problem in China, especially in urban areas. Early prevention strategies are needed to reduce the associated mortality and morbidity. We applied the combination of rules and different machine learning techniques to assess the risk of development of T2DM in an urban Chinese adult population.

Determination of Quality Changes in Peaches Wrapped in Active Paper and Stored at Ambient Temperature in Summer.

Peaches are known for their palatable flavor and abundant nutrients. However, peaches are perishable, and the existing preservation techniques for peaches are still immature. To further extend the shelf life and prevent nutrient loss of perishable peaches under ambient temperature in summer (approximately 25-32 °C), we conducted experiments wrapping peaches (Prunus persica cv 'Baihua') in single- and composite-treated vegetal fibrous papers that contained calcium carbonate, phytic acid, Na-alginate and vitamin C.

Use of shorted coaxial transmission line for high-power microwave measurement.

In order to reduce the effective area of the receiving antenna to receive microwave power in the high electric field regions, a 1.76 GHz shorted coaxial transmission line (SCTL) is investigated numerically and experimentally in this paper. When the frequency is 1.

[The inhibitory effect of hyporesponsive peptide on human leukocyte antigen-DRbeta1 specific T cell activation].

Objective: To evaluate the inhibitory effect of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DRbeta1 specific collagen II (CII) peptides with substitutions of TCR binding residues on T cell activation, and explore a new therapeutic strategy for T cell mediated autoimmune diseases by interfering with antigen recognition of T Cell receptor (TCR).

Methods: Non-TCR binding peptides were designed by computer modeling based on interaction of HLA DR1. The modified CII263-272.
