A systematic analysis of the burden of disease attributable to occupational noise-induced hearing loss in China based on the 2019 global burden of disease study.

Background: Occupational noise has long been recognized as a significant risk factor for hearing loss, particularly among workers. This study aimed to assess the disease burden of hearing loss caused by occupational noise in China from 1990 to 2019, with a focus on differences across sex and age groups, so as to address the existing gaps in the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) reports. By analyzing changes in years lived with disability (YLDs) among different sex and age groups over the past 30 years, this study provides valuable insights for the development of occupational noise safety measures in China.

Estimates and trends in the global burden of glaucoma influenced by metabolic risk factors from Global Burden of Disease Study between 1990 to 2019.

Purpose: Glaucoma is an irreversible eye disease that causes blindness, which not only causes visual impairment and economic burden to patients, but also increases the social burden. This study aimed to estimate the global burden of glaucoma due to metabolic risk over the past 30 years.

Methods: The number and rate of deaths, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and age-standardized rates (ASRs) for metabolic risk factors-induced glaucoma were extracted.

Associations between metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is closely related to metabolic syndrome and remains a major global health burden. The increased prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) worldwide has contributed to the rising incidence of NAFLD. It is widely believed that atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is associated with NAFLD.

Flow cytometry-based peripheral blood analysis as an easily friendly tool for prognostic monitoring of acute ischemic stroke: a multicenter study.

Background And Objective: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a leading cause of mortality, severe neurological and long-term disability world-wide. Blood-based indicators may provide valuable information on identified prognostic factors. However, currently, there is still a lack of peripheral blood indicators for the prognosis of AIS.

COVID-19 vaccinations for patients with epilepsy in Guizhou Province, China: A cross-sectional study.

Several COVID-19 vaccines have been approved for emergency use according to China's immunization programs. These vaccines has created hope for patients with epilepsy, because the vaccines can help to reduce their risk of becoming infected with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The aim of this study was to investigate the COVID-19 vaccine safety in patients with epilepsy.

Association of LDL-C/HDL-C ratio with coronary heart disease: A meta-analysis.

Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a common heart disease and a leading cause of death in developed countries and some developing countries such as China. It is recognized as a multifactorial disease, with dyslipidemia being closely associated with the progression of coronary atherosclerosis. Numerous studies have confirmed the relationship between a single indicator of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and CHD.

An update on the association between ambient short-term air pollution exposure and daily outpatient visits for conjunctivitis: a time-series study in Hangzhou, China.

This study aimed to explore the associations between air pollutants and outpatient visits for conjunctivitis in Hangzhou, China. This study collected data on 50,772 patients with conjunctivitis and the concentrations of six air pollutants from February 1, 2014, to August 31, 2018.

Exploring Associations Between Short-Term Air Pollution and Daily Outpatient Visits for Allergic Rhinitis.

Purpose: Many studies have reported that exposure to air pollution increases the likelihood of acquiring allergic rhinitis (AR). This study investigated associations between short-term air pollution exposure and AR outpatient visits.

Patients And Methods: The Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University provided AR outpatient data from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021.

Downregulating NHE-1 decreases the apoptosis of hippocampal cells in epileptic model rats based on the NHE-1/calpain1 pathway.

Seizure is associated with pathological changes of hippocampus, but the mechanism by which hippocampal neuronal apoptosis promotes epilepsy is unclear. Our previous study showed that the expression of NHE-1 was increased in epileptic model rats. Therefore, this study further explores the effect of NHE-1 on hippocampal cells apoptosis and seizure in lithium chloride-pilocarpine epileptic model rats.

Timely assessment of 5-year relative survival for patients with thyroid cancer from Taizhou, eastern China: a period analysis.

Background: While timely assessment of long-term survival in thyroid cancer patients is critical for assessing early detection and screening programs for thyroid cancer, those data are sorely lacking in China. We aimed to timely and accurately assess the long-term survival of thyroid cancer patients in eastern China.

Methods: Patients diagnosed with thyroid cancer during 2004-2018 from four cancer registries in Taizhou, eastern China were included.

Use of period analysis to provide a timely assessment of 5-year relative survival for pancreatic cancer patients from Taizhou, eastern China.

Assessing long-term tumor survival rates is crucial for evaluating the effectiveness of tumor treatment and burden. However, timely assessment of long-term survival in patients with pancreatic cancer is lagging in China. In this study, we applied period analysis to estimate the long-term survival of pancreatic cancer patients using data from four population-based cancer registries in Taizhou city, eastern China.

Use of Period Analysis to Timely Assess Five-Year Relative Survival for Patients with Ovarian Cancer from Taizhou, Eastern China.

Objective: Ovarian cancer is a deadly gynecologic malignancy with a poor prognosis. It is essential to evaluate the early detection and screening programs of ovarian cancer via timely assessment of long-time survival, particularly in China where those data are incredibly limited. Here, we aimed to provide timely and accurately assessment of long-term survival estimate of ovarian cancer patients from eastern China.

Establishment of risk nomogram prediction model for venous catheter thrombosis.

Background: Venous catheters are widely used in clinical practice, but a drawback of their usage is the increased risk of thrombosis.

Aims: The current study explored the risk factors affecting the formation of thrombosis following venous catheterization and establishes a risk nomogram prediction model for catheter-related thrombosis.

Methods: Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were carried out to identify the independent factors involved in venous catheter thrombosis.

Use of period analysis to timely assess 5-year relative survival for breast cancer patients from Taizhou, Eastern China.
