Background/aims: Elevation of plasma sulfur-containing amino acids (SAAs) is generally associated with higher body mass index (BMI) and unfavorable lipid profiles. It is not known how dietary SAAs relate to these associations in humans.
Methods: A convenient tool named internet-based dietary questionnaire for Chinese (IDQC) was used to estimate dietary SAAs intake.
Homeobox-containing 1 (HMBOX1) has been described as a transcription factor involved in the occurrence of some tumors, but its roles in ovarian cancer have never been reported. Here we aimed to investigate the roles of HMBOX1 on high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC). In this present study, HMBOX1 expression was decreased in HGSOC tissues and ovarian cancer cell lines (HO8910 and A2780) compared with ovarian surface epithelial tissues or normal human ovarian surface epithelial cell line (HOSEpiC).

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the impact of chronic chromate exposure on the pulmonary ventilation function of workers in a chromate manufacturing factory in Henan Province, comparing them to a control group without exposure.
- Results from 2010 and 2011 showed significant decreases in vital lung function measurements (like FVC and FEV1) among the chromate-exposed workers compared to the control group, indicating negative effects on respiratory health.
- Despite the observed declines, the classification of pulmonary dysfunction among both groups remained similar, primarily categorized as "limit type," suggesting that the extent of dysfunction didn't change significantly over the exposure period.
Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics of severely and critically ill children with 2009 influenza A (H1N1) infection.
Method: Clinical data of 150 cases with 2009 influenza A (H1N1) virus infection confirmed with the use of a real-time polymerase-chain-reaction assay on nasopharyngeal swab specimens were analyzed.
Result: Among 150 severely and critically ill children with 2009 influenza A (H1N1) virus infection, 103 were male, 47 were female; the median age was 5 years, 81(55%) were 5 years of age or older; 21 (14%) had underlying chronic diseases.
