Effect of health lifestyle on the risk of stroke: A prospective cohort study from Chongqing, China.

Objective: To prospectively investigate the associations of healthy lifestyle factors on the risk of stroke and stroke subtypes, as studies exploring this relationship are limited in China.

Methods: The 22,661 participants in the prospective cohort study in Chongqing, China, aged 30-79 years and stroke-free at baseline completed follow-up from 2018 to 2022. We included seven healthy lifestyle factors, including non-smoking, non-excessive drinking, sufficient physical activity, healthy diet, sleep duration of 7-9 h/d, and standard range of body mass index and waist-to-hip ratio.

[A quantitative study of mechanics in the treatment of atlantoaxial joint disorder by tendon relaxation manipulation].

Objective: To explore dose-effect relationship of biomechanical parameters in treating atlantoaxial joint disorder by slimming manipulation.

Methods: From October 2022 to May 2023, 18 patients with atlantoaxial joint disorders were treated, including 10 males and 8 females;aged from 24 to 27 years old with an average of (25.50±1.

Dietary Patterns and New-Onset Diabetes Mellitus in Southwest China: A Prospective Cohort Study in the China Multi-Ethnic Cohort (CMEC).

(1) Background: There is little known about the relationship between Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) pattern and diabetes in cohort studies, and the dietary patterns in the Chongqing natural population are unknown. (2) Methods: 14,176 Chinese adults, aged 30-79 years old, participated in this prospective study, from September 2018 to October 2023. A dietary assessment was conducted using a food frequency questionnaire, and three main dietary patterns were extracted from the principal component analysis.

Promoted Generation of T Helper 1-Like Regulatory T Cells After Transient Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion in Type-2 Diabetic Mice.

Background: Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a remarkable role in modulating post-ischemic neuroinflammation. However, the characteristics of Tregs in diabetic ischemic stroke remain unknown.

Methods: Transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was conducted on leptin receptor-mutated db/db mice and db/+ mice.

High-Q and tunable analog of electromagnetically induced transparency in terahertz all-dielectric metamaterial.

We propose a novel all-dielectric metamaterial (ADMM), to the best of our knowledge, with a simple structure to achieve the analog of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in the terahertz range. The ADMM is constructed by unit cells with two same silicon bar resonators on a quartz substrate. By breaking the symmetrical array of silicon resonators, the guided-mode resonance can be excited in the substrate, and the destructive interference between a broadband electric-dipole resonance and a narrowband guided-mode resonance gives rise to an EIT-like response.

Impact Resistance Study of Three-Dimensional Orthogonal Carbon Fibers/BMI Resin Woven Composites.

Three-dimensional woven composites have been reported to have superior fracture toughness, fatigue life and damage tolerance compared with laminated composites due to through-thickness reinforcement. These properties make them lighter replacements for traditional high-strength metals and laminated composites. This paper will present impact resistance research on three-dimensional orthogonal woven composites consisting of carbon fibers/bismaleimide resin (BMI).

Shorter training intervals increase high school students' awareness of cardiopulmonary resuscitation: a questionnaire study.

Objective: To explore training-related independent factors affecting the awareness of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in senior high school students in Shanghai.

Methods: Questionnaires measuring CPR-related knowledge were distributed to 430 senior high school students in Shanghai.

Results: The overall CPR qualification rate was 7.

The Effect of Iron Fortification on Iron (Fe) Status and Inflammation: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Iron deficiency (ID) is common in toddlers in developing countries. Iron fortified or meat-based complementary foods may be effective to prevent ID.

Objective: Our objective was to compare iron status at 18 months and growth from 6 to 18 months in rural poor toddlers fed 3 different complementary foods.

Association between feeding practices and weight status in young children.

Background: Inappropriate feeding practices during infancy may lead to overweight. The aims of this study are to investigate the growth of children in the first 18 months of life; to evaluate the feeding practices of caregivers using developed Young Child Feeding Questionnaire; and to investigate caregivers' feeding attitudes and behaviors associated with infants' weight status.

Methods: Six month-old infants and their main caregivers entering the Kongjiang Community Health Center for a routine well-child check were recruited for this study and followed up every 6 months for 12 months.

Fecal calprotectin levels are higher in rural than in urban Chinese infants and negatively associated with growth.

Background: Fecal calprotectin (FC) is an established simple biomarker of gut inflammation. To examine a possible relationship between linear growth and gut inflammation, we compared fecal calprotectin levels in 6 month old infants from poor rural vs affluent urban families.

Methods: The project was a cross-sectional comparison of FC from rural and urban populations in China.

A summary index of infant and child feeding practices is associated with child growth in urban Shanghai.

Background: Recently, an infant and child feeding index (ICFI) constructed on brief recalls of breastfeeding, feeding frequency and food diversification was assumed to provide long-term prediction about child feeding practices. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the cross-sectional ICFI (CS-ICFI) or longitudinal ICFI (L-ICFI) and child anthropometric indices in downtown Shanghai, China.

Methods: The prospective cohort study included 180 infants aged 5-7 mo with their main caregivers who were visited 3 times every 6 months over 12 months.

Feeding and growth of normal birth weight infants during the first year of life in Shanghai.

Aim: This study aimed to explore the relationship between infant feeding practices and growth outcomes in the first 12 months of life.

Design: Investigators completed 262 questionnaires, which included infant feeding patterns, feeding environment, feeding beliefs/attitudes and caregivers' feeding behaviors through on-site face-to-face interviews with the main caregivers of infants at 12 months of age. The infant's weight and length at ages 6 and 12 months were measured.
