Objective: Adherence to guideline-recommended colorectal cancer screening (CRCS) among average-risk urban populations in China remains significantly suboptimal. This mixed-methods study aimed to investigate screening behaviors and associated factors among average-risk urban populations through a multi-center approach.
Methodology: From February to July 2024, 550 participants were recruited via stratified random sampling in Harbin, China.
Zinc and melatonin mediated antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant coatings accelerate bone defect repair.

Inflammation and bacterial infection are important causes of implant failure, and the development of multifunctional titanium surfaces to address these issues is an effective means of treating infected bone defects. In this study, polyphenols (EGCG) and Zn were first loaded onto the titanium surface to construct an EGCG/Zn polyphenol metal network coating. Then melatonin (MT) was loaded into the EGCG/Zn network structure to prepare the EGCG/Zn/MT composite coating.

By investigating the role of psychological resilience with obesity, this study aimed to address this gap and tackle obesity through a positive psychological framework.
Methods: Participants consisted of 2445 community residents from Shenzhen, China, with a mean age of 41.
Background: The study aimed to find out the association between sleep duration and psychological resilience in a population-based survey.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in August 2022, employing a cluster random sampling method to recruit community residents at Futian District in Shenzhen, China. A total of 2,445 participants aged 18 years and over were included in the study.
Article Synopsis
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and interstitial lung disease (ILD) are associated with shorter telomere length (TL), but previous research primarily focused on European populations, making this study relevant for an Asian demographic.
- The study aimed to analyze the causal relationship between leukocyte TL and the risk of developing COPD and ILD in a sample of Japanese individuals, using data from the Biobank Japan Project.
- Results indicated a significant inverse relationship, suggesting that shorter leukocyte TL may causally increase the risk of COPD (OR = 0.78) and ILD (OR = 0.29), emphasizing the potential relevance of TL in respiratory diseases.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the relationship between psychological resilience and DNA methylation age, using data from 4,018 participants in the Health and Retirement Study.
- Researchers applied multivariable linear regression models to examine this association, controlling for factors like age, sex, and education.
- Results indicated that higher psychological resilience scores were linked to slower DNA methylation age acceleration across most epigenetic clocks, suggesting greater resilience may correlate with slower biological aging.
Objectives: To investigate whether shorter telomere length is a causal risk factor for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in the Asian population.
Methods: We applied the two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) method to the pooled statistics from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 6,707 SLE cases and 16,047 controls. We selected nine single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with genome-wide significance as instrumental variables for telomere length.
