Dietary inflammatory index as a predictor of prediabetes in women with previous gestational diabetes mellitus.

Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The inflammatory potential of diet is crucial in GDM development. This study compares dietary inflammatory indices (DII) in females with and without a history of GDM and constructs a predictive model for prediabetes risk.

Rate Optimization of Intelligent Reflecting Surface-Assisted Coal Mine Wireless Communication Systems.

This paper proposes a three-step joint rate optimization method for intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-assisted coal mine wireless communication systems. Different from terrestrial IRS-assisted communication scenarios, in coal mines, IRSs can be installed flexibly on the tops of rectangular tunnels to address the issues of signals being blocked and interfered with by mining equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the IRS deployment position, the transmit power and IRS phase shifts to achieve the maximum effective achievable rate at user stations equipped with the proposed system.

Enhancing nitrogen and phosphorus removal in plant-biochar-pyrite stormwater bioretention systems: Impact of temperature and high-frequency heavy rainfall.

Global climate change and rapid urbanization have resulted in more frequent and intense rainfall events in urban areas, raising concerns about the effectiveness of stormwater bioretention systems. In this study, we optimized the design by constructing a multi-layer filler structure, including plant layer, biochar layer, and pyrite layer, and evaluated its performance in nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) removal under different temperatures (5-18 °C and 24-43 °C), rainfall intensity (47.06 mm rainfall depth), and frequency (1-5 days rainfall intervals) conditions.

Nonconjugated Polyurethane Derivatives with Aggregation-Induced Luminochromism for Multicolor and White Photoluminescent Films.

A simple and effective strategy to obtain solid-state multicolor emitting materials is a particularly attractive topic. Nonconventional/nonconjugated polymers are receiving widespread attention because of their advantages of rich structural diversity, low cost, and good processability. However, it is difficult to control the molecular conformation or to obtain the crystal structure of amorphous molecules, which means it is a challenge to obtain nontraditional polymeric materials with multicolor emission.

Pollution Characteristics of Heavy Metals in PM and Source-Specific Health Risks in the Tianjin Airport Community, China.

The airport and its surrounding areas are home to a variety of pollution sources, and air pollution is a recognized health concern for local populated regions. Submicron particulate matter (PM with an aerodynamic diameter of <1 mm) is a typical pollutant at airports, and the enrichment of heavy metals (HMs) in PM poses a great threat to human health. To comprehensively assess the source-specific health effects of PM-bound HMs in an airport community, PM filter samples were collected around the Tianjin Binhai International Airport for 12 h during the daytime and nighttime, both in the spring and summer, and 10 selected HMs (V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, and Pb) were analyzed.

In vitro culture of cynomolgus monkey embryos from blastocyst to early organogenesis.

Human early embryonic development is the cornerstone of a healthy baby. Abnormal early embryonic development may lead to developmental and pregnancy-related disorders. Accordingly, understanding the developmental events and mechanisms of human early embryonic development is very important.

The LOB domain protein, a novel transcription factor with multiple functions: A review.

The LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES DOMAIN (LBD) protein, named for its LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES (LOB) domain, is a member of a class of specific transcription factors commonly found in plants and is absent from all other groups of organisms. LBD TFs have been systematically identified in about 35 plant species and are involved in regulating various aspects of plant growth and development. However, research on the signaling network and regulatory functions of LBD TFs is insufficient, and only a few members have been studied.

2D Porphyrin-Based Covalent-Organic Framework/PEG Composites: A Rational Strategy for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution.

Two-dimensional porphyrin-based covalent-organic frameworks (2D-por-COFs) have gained significant attention as attractive platforms for efficient solar light conversion into hydrogen production. Herein, it is found that introducing transition metal zinc and polyethylene glycol (PEG) into 2D-por-COFs can effectively improve the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance. The photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of ZnPor-COF is 2.

SO-COF@AlO modified cathode electrode materials enhance the cycling ability of lithium sulfur batteries.

Herein, a covalent organic framework (SO-COF) containing sulfonic acid groups has been developed on the surface of alumina by a one-step method, labeled as SO-COF@AlO. The experimental results show that SO-COF@AlO can effectively inhibit the shuttle effect of soluble lithium polysulfide (LiPSs) in LSBs after loading the active material sulfur, and exhibits better cycling behavior than the initial polymer SO-COF. The initial discharge specific capacity of this electrode material at 0.

The disease recurrence perception scale for patients with inflammatory bowel disease: Instrument development and cross-sectional validation study.

Disease recurrence perception plays a key role in disease management and subsequent disease recurrence prevention. However, there are no specific tools for assessing disease recurrence perception in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by alternating remission and recurrence. To develop and validate an instrument for measuring disease recurrence perception of patients with IBD, the study was conducted in two steps: (1) instrument development and (2) psychometric tests.
