Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Is Associated With Aortic Calcification: A Cohort Study With Propensity Score Matching.

Objectives: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) greatly affects cardiovascular disease, but evidence on the associations between NAFLD and markers of aortic calcification is limited. We aim to evaluate the association between NAFLD and aortic calcification in a cohort of Chinese adults using propensity score-matching (PSM) analysis.

Methods: This prospective cohort study involved adults who underwent health-screening examinations from 2009 to 2016.

Association between Periodontitis and Aortic Calcification: A Cohort Study.

The present study investigated the association between the presence of periodontitis and aortic calcification (AC) risk among Chinese adults. A total of 6059 individuals who underwent regular health check-ups and received a diagnosis of periodontitis between 2009 and 2016 were included. The outcome was AC, assessed by a chest low-dose spiral CT scan.

Association between blood urea nitrogen and incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in a Chinese population: a cohort study.

To examine the association between blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and risk of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) among Chinese adults, we performed an ongoing cohort study of 38578 Chinese adults (56.3% males; average age, 41.6 y) who underwent repeated health check-up examinations between 2009 and 2016 and without T2DM at baseline.

Physical activity, screen exposure and sleep among students during the pandemic of COVID-19.

This study aimed to determine the levels of health-related behaviours (physical activity, screen exposure and sleep status) among Chinese students from primary, secondary and high schools during the pandemic of COVID-19, as well as their changes compared with their status before the pandemic. A cross-sectional online survey of 10,933 students was conducted among 10 schools in Guangzhou, China, between 8th and 15th March, 2020. After getting the informed consent from student's caregivers, an online questionnaire was designed and used to obtain time spending on health-related behaviours during the pandemic of COVID-19, as well as the changes compared with 3 months before the pandemic, which was completed by students themselves or their caregivers.

Association between serum prostate-specific antigen concentrations and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus in Chinese men: A cohort study.

Aims/introduction: The current literature suggests that men with diabetes have a lower prostate-specific antigen concentration than men without diabetes, but the causal association remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the association between serum prostate-specific antigen concentrations and the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus in a cohort study of a Chinese population.

Materials And Methods: We designed a cohort study that comprised 16,811 initially non-diabetic Chinese men who received annual health checkups between 2009 and 2016.

Association between brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity and risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus: results from a cohort study.

Introduction: Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (ba-PWV), as a simple and easily measured marker of arterial stiffness, has not been prospectively explored for its role in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk among the general population. This study aimed to explore the association between baseline ba-PWV value and new-onset T2DM among Chinese adults.

Research Design And Methods: Using data from Xiaotangshan Hospital, we conducted a prospective cohort study among those who underwent annual or biennial health check-up examinations and who had their ba-PWV measured from 2009 to 2016.

Associations of Polymorphisms with the Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: An Updated Meta-Analysis with Trial Sequential Analysis.

Background: Previous studies have examined the role of the KQT-like subfamily Q member1 () gene polymorphisms on the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but the findings are inconclusive.

Objective: To examine the association between the gene polymorphisms and the risk of T2DM using an updated meta-analysis with an almost tripled number of studies.

Methods: Five electronic databases, such as PubMed and Embase, were searched thoroughly for relevant studies on the associations between seven most studied gene polymorphisms, including rs2237892, rs2237897, rs2237895, rs2283228, rs231362, rs151290, and rs2074196, and T2DM risk up to September 14, 2019.

Effects of dairy products, calcium and vitamin D on ovarian cancer risk: a meta-analysis of twenty-nine epidemiological studies.

Findings for the roles of dairy products, Ca and vitamin D on ovarian cancer risk remain controversial. We aimed to assess these associations by using an updated meta-analysis. Five electronic databases (e.

Admission serum sodium and potassium levels predict survival among critically ill patients with acute kidney injury: a cohort study.

Background: Patients suffering from acute kidney injury (AKI) were associated with impaired sodium and potassium homeostasis. We aimed to investigate how admission serum sodium and potassium independently and jointly modified adverse clinical outcomes among AKI patients.

Methods: Patient data were extracted from the Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care Database III.

Association of PICALM Gene Polymorphisms with Alzheimer's Disease: Evidence from an Updated Meta-Analysis.

Background: Previous studies have examined the roles of three polymorphisms (rs3851179, rs541458, and rs592297) of the PICALM gene in susceptibility to Alzheimer's disease (AD) with inconclusive findings.

Objective: We performed a meta-analysis to explore whether these three polymorphisms in the PICALM gene were associated with susceptibility to AD.

Methods: Bibliographical searches were conducted in the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases.

Dietary inflammatory index and risk of gynecological cancers: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.

Objective: There has been growing body of literatures showing that chronic inflammation might play an important role in cancer development. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the association between the dietary inflammation index (DII) score and gynecological cancers.

Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science up until October 20, 2018 was carried out to retrieve all related cohort and case-control studies.

Pretreatment lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio as a predictor of survival among patients with ovarian cancer: a meta-analysis.

Introduction: In this meta-analysis, we analyzed retrospective cohort studies that assessed the prognostic potential of the pretreatment lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) among patients with ovarian cancer (OC).

Materials And Methods: We comprehensively searched electronic databases, including PubMed and Embase, from inception through October 2018. A random-effects model was used to calculate pooled HRs and their 95% CIs for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS).

[Evaluation of therapeutic effects on sacroiliitis and enthesopathy in ankylosing spondylitis patients by color ultrasound].

Objective: To explore the value of color Doppler ultrasound in evaluating the therapeutic effects on ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients.

Methods: Color Doppler high-frequency ultrasound images and blood flow in 30 healthy volunteers and 50 AS patients, changes of high-frequency ultrasound images and blood flow of involved sites in AS patients pre- and after-Etanercept treatments, as well as erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and the Bath AS disease activity indices pre- and post-treatment were compared.

Results: Positive rates were significantly different between healthy volunteers and AS patients in terms of sacroiliac joints, Achilles tendon attachments, patellar ligament attachments, and rectus femoris tendon attachments by ultrasonograph (P < 0.
