Background: The primary objective of this study was to investigate and substantiate the possible causal connections between measurements of body dimensions and the likelihood of experiencing fractures.

Materials And Methods: We employed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to examine the associations between anthropometric measurements and two specific traits-bone mineral density and fracture risk. To ensure the credibility of our causal conclusions, we used the inverse variance weighted (IVW) method along with various sensitivity analyses.

Background And Purpose: Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) experience chronic intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation, leading to brain ischemia and neurological dysfunction. Therefore, it is important to identify features that can differentiate patients with OSA from healthy controls (HC) and provide insights into the underlying brain alterations associated with OSA. This study aimed to distinguish patients with OSA from healthy individuals and predict clinical symptom alterations using cerebellum-whole-brain static and dynamic functional connectivity (sFC and dFC, respectively), with the cerebellum as the seed region.

Purpose: To investigate dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) within the cerebellar-whole brain network and dynamic topological properties of the cerebellar network in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients.

Methods: Sixty male patients and 60 male healthy controls were included. The sliding window method examined the fluctuations in cerebellum-whole brain dFC and connection strength in OSA.

Purpose: Previous studies have demonstrated impaired cerebellar function in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which is associated with impaired cognition. However, the effects of OSA on resting-state functional connectivity (FC) in the cerebellum has not been determined. The purpose of this study was to investigate resting-state FC of the cerebellar subregions and its relevance to clinical symptoms in patients with OSA.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOF)-polymer hybrid hydrogel solves the processable forming of MOF powder and energy consumption of uranium extraction. However, the hybrid hydrogel by conventional synthesis methods inevitably lead to MOF agglomeration, poor filler-polymer interfacial compatibility and slowly adsorption. Herein, we designed that ZIF-67 was implanted into the carboxymethyl cellulose/polyacrylamide (CMC/PAM) by network-repairing strategy.

The operation of the Three Gorges Project (TGP) has influenced the wetland ecosystems downstream, thereby affecting the distribution of habitats suitable for waterbirds. However, dynamic studies on habitat distribution under different water regimes are lacking. Here, using data from three successive wintering periods representing three typical water regimes, we modelled and mapped the habitat suitability of three waterbird groups in Dongting Lake, which is the first river-connected lake downstream of the TGP, and a crucial wintering ground for waterbirds along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been revealed to harbor open reading frames (ORFs) that can be translated into small peptides. The peptides may participate in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Herein, we investigated the role of a lncRNA BVES-AS1-encoded peptide in colorectal tumorigenesis.

The modern urban population features a high population density and a fast population flow, and COVID-19 has strong transmission ability, long incubation period, and other characteristics. Considering only the time sequence of COVID-19 transmission cannot effectively respond to the current epidemic transmission situation. The distance between cities and population density information also have a significant impact on the transmission of the virus.

GC is a fatal disease with high heterogeneity and invasiveness. Recently, SPP1 has been reported to be involved in the tumor progression of multiple human cancers; however, the role of SPP1 in GC heterogeneity and whether it is associated with the invasiveness and mortality of GC remain unclear. Here, we combined multiple RNA sequencing approaches to evaluate the impact of SPP1 on GC.

In this study, a composite hydrogel with a low swelling ratio, excellent mechanical properties, and good U (VI) adsorption capacity was developed by incorporating a metal-organic framework (MOF) with a poly (acrylamide-co-acrylic acid)/chitosan (P(AM-co-AA)/CS) composite. The CS chain, which contains NH, reduces the swelling ratio of the hydrogel to 4.17 after 5 h of immersion in water.

Background And Objective: The ever-mutating COVID-19 has infected billions of people worldwide and seriously affected the stability of human society and the world economic development. Therefore, it is essential to make long-term and short-term forecasts for COVID-19. However, the pandemic situation in different countries and regions may be dominated by different virus variants, and the transmission capacity of different virus variants diversifies.

Background: Due to the advancement of medical imaging and computer technology, machine intelligence to analyze clinical image data increases the probability of disease prevention and successful treatment. When diagnosing and detecting heart disease, medical imaging can provide high-resolution scans of every organ or tissue in the heart. The diagnostic results obtained by the imaging method are less susceptible to human interference.

This study aims to explain the role and related mechanisms of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) X inactive specific transcript (XIST) in sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI). The in vivo septic models and in vitro septic model were established. In animal models, the lung injury of the rats was evaluated after XIST was overexpressed.

We theoretically explore the mechanism in a thulium -switched ytterbium-doped all-fiber fiber laser using a set of rate equations to model the correlations between the photons and the five energy levels of thulium involved in the switching mechanism. We demonstrate that by coupling with a gain-switched resonator, the -switched laser is stabilized up to the maximum pulsing rate that is limited by the lifetime of level . To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that revealed that level plays an essential role in reinitialization, achieving sequential pulses, and limiting the maximum repetition rate.

Background: Enhanced recovery programs (ERPs), as a rapid rehabilitation method, have been widely used in gastric cancer patients. Although many related studies have confirmed their effectiveness, some patients may still experience poor clinical outcomes. This study analyzed risk factors associated with ERP failure after laparoscopic radical gastrectomy.

Background: To determine the optimal timing of duodenal transection in patients undergoing laparoscopic-assisted total gastrectomy (LATG) in combination with laparoscopic spleen-preserving splenic hilar lymphadenectomy (LSPL) for advanced proximal gastric cancer (APGC).

Methods: One hundred twenty-seven patients with APGC who received LATG with duodenal transection as well as LSPL between January 2017 and July 2018 were retrospectively recruited in this study. According to the different transection timing, the patients were allocated into two groups: a conventional group (CG) who received the duodenal transection prior to the LSPL and an experimental group (EG) who were given LSPL before the duodenum was transected.
