Epidemiology of human papillomavirus on condyloma acuminatum in Shandong Province，China.

Condyloma acuminatum (CA) is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. It is important to study the prevalence and distribution of HPV genotypes before implementing the HPV vaccination program. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics of CA cases and the distribution of HPV genotypes in Shandong Province, China.

Can the implementation of family doctor contracted service enable the elderly to utilize primary health care services more equally? empirical evidence from Shandong, China.

Background: While the elderly are facing greater health risks, they also face more serious inequalities in utilization of medical services. The family doctor contracted service is the core policy of the Chinese government to cope with aging and to achieve the outcome that everyone has the right to primary health care. However, previous research has neither revealed the degree of inequality in the use of contracted services among the elderly in China, nor has it revealed what factors are related to the inequality in the use of services.

Evaluating active versus passive sources of human brucellosis in Jining City, China.

Human brucellosis (HB) remains a serious public health concern owing to its resurgence across the globe and specifically in China. The timely detection of this disease is the key to its prevention and control. We sought to describe the differences in the demographics of high-risk populations with detected cases of HB contracted from active versus passive sources.

Biological functions of circRNAs and their progress in livestock and poultry.

CircRNAs are a new member of endogenous RNAs, which characterized by a closed-loop structure without terminated 5' caps and 3' tails via covalent bonding, which are evolutionarily conserved among different species and often exhibit tissue or developmental stage-specific expression. So far, thousands of circRNAs have been discovered in eukaryotic cells. CircRNAs are more stable due to its resistance to exonuclease implying important biological functions in all kingdoms of life.

Identification and analysis of miRNAs in the normal and fatty liver from the Holstein dairy cow.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding short RNAs with ∼22 nts in length, which play important roles in the regulation of numerous biological processes in animals. In this study, two small RNA libraries from fatty (S01) and normal livers (S02) from Holstein Dairy Cow (HDC) were sequenced through deep sequencing. A total of 12,964,411 and 15,426,289 clean reads were obtained, representing 370 known and 182 novel miRNAs, respectively.

Identification of differentially expressed miRNAs on normal cell, fatty liver cell and processed cell by monoammonium glycyrrhizinate from cattle () by deep sequencing approach.

Cattle fatty liver has caused mass damage in milk production during the past few years. In our study, to identify different miRNAs involved in cell physiological regulation in fatty liver, we performed miRNA deep sequencing on a normal liver cell (S01), fatty liver cell (S02) and processed cell by monoammonium glycyrrhizinate (S03). As a result, a total of 15,277,462, 14,190,360 and 13,771,060 raw reads representing 13,904,074, 12,784,128 and 11,017,604 clean reads per library were obtained separately.

Identification and expression analysis of miRNA in hybrid snakehead by deep sequencing approach and their targets prediction.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important regulatory roles in numerous biological processes, but there is no report on miRNAs of hybrid snakehead. In this study, four independent small RNA libraries were constructed from the spleen, liver kidney and muscle of hybrid snakehead. These libraries were sequenced using deep sequencing technology, as result, a total of 1,067,172, 1,152,002, 1,653,941 and 970,866 clean reads from these four libraries were obtained.

Consumption of antibiotics in Chinese public general tertiary hospitals (2011-2014): Trends, pattern changes and regional differences.

Background: China has a high rate of antibiotic use. The Chinese Ministry of Health (MOH) established the Center for Antibacterial Surveillance (CAS) to monitor the use of antibacterial agents in hospitals in 2005. The purpose of this study was to identify trends, pattern changes and regional differences in antibiotic consumption in 151 public general tertiary hospitals across China from 2011-2014.

Identification of the conserved and novel microRNAs by deep sequencing and prediction of their targets in Topmouth culter.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous non-coding small RNAs that play important roles in regulation of almost all biological processes in organisms. Topmouth culter is an economically important fish species in the Chinese freshwater polyculture system for its delicacy and high economic value. However, to date, no miRNAs have been reported in Topmouth culter species.

Genome-wide identification and characterization of conserved and novel microRNAs in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) by deep sequencing.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are post-transcriptional regulators which bind to target to regulate protein expression by repressing translation or promoting degradation of the target mRNA. Studies have shown that deep sequencing is a powerful tool for the identification of miRNAs, and it is believed that may more miRNAs remain to be discovered in grass carp. In the present study, a pool of equal amounts of RNA obtained from 8 different adult grass carp tissues (spleen, liver, muscle, kidney, skin, testis, gut and heart) was sequenced using deep sequencing technology.

Nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy and the risk of neural tube defects: a case-control study.

There has been considerable professional debate on the association between nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy (NVP) and neural tube defects (NTDs) risk. This study explored the association between NVP and NTDs risk, and the effect of folic acid supplements on the association. A 1:1 matched case-control study was conducted and conditional logistic regression model was used to analyze the associations.

Maternal body mass index and the association between folic acid supplements and neural tube defects.

Aim: To study the influence of maternal body mass index (BMI) on the association between folic acid supplementation and neural tube defects (NTDs) risk in offspring.

Methods: A hospital-based, case-control study was conducted between 2006 and 2008 on 459 mothers with NTDs-affected births and 459 mothers without NTDs-affected births. Logistic regression models examined the associations between folic acid supplementation and the NTDs risk in offspring for all mothers, underweight/normal weight mothers (BMI<24.

Maternal overweight and obesity and the risk of neural tube defects: a case-control study in China.

Background: Studies have suggested that being obese before pregnancy is a risk factor for neural tube defects (NTDs), while results of many studies are controversial. This study aims to explore the association between maternal overweight and obesity before pregnancy and risk of NTDs.

Methods: A 1:1 matched case-control study was conducted.

Previous abortion and the risk of neural tube defects: a case-control study.

Objective: To further explore the association between abortion history and neural tube defect (NTD) risk and the association of different interpregnancy intervals from prior abortion to current conception on NTD risk.

Study Design: A matched case-control study was conducted. Cases were 459 women who delivered and gestated babies/fetuses with NTDs in two provinces of China and 459 women with live-born infants, without an apparent congenital malformation, matched with cases by the same region, the same hospital, and childbirth in the same year as controls.

A case-control study of the effects of pregnancy planning on neural tube defects and its primary preventive measures.

Background: Measures for prevention of neural tube defects (NTDs) have been recommended for many years in China, but the compliance with these measures is unsatisfactory. This study aims to compare the effect differences between planned pregnancy and unplanned pregnancy in the compliance with these measures and analyze the interactions between pregnancy planning and these measures for NTD prevention.

Methods: A 1:1 matched case-control study was conducted.
