Molecular and Morphological Characteristics of a Novel Cyst Nematode in the Rhizosphere of DC. in Gansu Province, Northwest China.

Cyst nematodes are obligate parasitic nematodes found in the fields of many cultivated crops. These nematodes, which have great economic importance, pose a threat to food security, though they are frequently ignored or misdiagnosed as pests because of covert parasitism. A cyst nematode population parasitizing on DC.

Bidirectional causal associations between type 2 diabetes and COVID-19.

Observational studies have reported high comorbidity between type 2 diabetes (T2D) and severe COVID-19. However, the causality between T2D and COVID-19 has yet to be validated. We performed genetic correlation and Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses to assess genetic relationships and potential causal associations between T2D and three COVID-19 outcomes (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 [SARS-CoV-2] infection, COVID-19 hospitalization, and critical COVID-19).

Experimental Determination and Computational Prediction of Dehydroabietic Acid Solubility in (-)-α-Pinene + (-)-β-Caryophyllene + P-Cymene System.

The solubility of dehydroabietic acid in (-)-α-pinene, p-cymene, (-)-β-caryophyllene, (-)-α-pinene + p-cymene, (-)-β-caryophyllene + p-cymene and (-)-α-pinene + (-)-β-caryophyllene were determined using the laser monitoring method at atmospheric pressure. The solubility of dehydroabietic acid was positively correlated with temperature from 295.15 to 339.

A new cyst-forming nematode, n. sp. (Nematoda:Heteroderinae) from in China with a key to the Genus .

A new cyst-forming nematode, n. sp. was isolated from the rhizosphere soil of L.

Perceived Value of Electronic Medical Records in Community Health Services: A National Cross-Sectional Survey of Primary Care Workers in Mainland China.

Objective: To evaluate the degree to which electronic medical records (EMRs) were used in primary care and the value of EMRs as perceived by primary care workers in China.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 2719 physicians ( = 2213) and nurses ( = 506) selected from 462 community health centres across all regions of mainland China except for Tibet. Regional differences in the responses regarding the functionality of existing EMR systems and the perceived value of EMRs were examined using Chi-square tests and ordinal regression analyses.

Effect of an intelligent family physician-optimised coordination model program on hypertension management in a Beijing community.

The prevalence of hypertension in China is increasing. To control chronic diseases, the Beijing Municipal Government implemented an intelligent family physician-optimised collaborative model (IFOCM). The present retrospective study assessed the effectiveness of the IFOCM in the management of hypertensive patients at the Fangzhuang Community Health Service Centre, Beijing.

Effects of home telemonitoring on the control of high blood pressure: a randomised control trial in the Fangzhuang Community Health Center, Beijing.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of home telemonitoring on the control of high blood pressure in the Fangzhuang Community Health Center in Fengtai District, Beijing. A total of 110 hypertensive patients with uncontrolled high blood pressure were equally allocated to an intervention group and a control group randomly. The participants in the intervention group received home telemonitoring for blood pressure delivered by a team comprising a GP, a hypertension specialist, a general nurse and an information manager.

Intelligent Internet-based information system optimises diabetes mellitus management in communities.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of an intelligent Internet-based information system upon optimising the management of patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methods: In 2015, a T2DM information system was introduced to optimise the management of T2DM patients for 1 year in Fangzhuang community of Beijing, China. A total of 602 T2DM patients who were registered in the health service centre of Fangzhuang community were enrolled based on an isometric sampling technique.
