Gender differences in the relationships between housework and metabolic markers: a longitudinal cohort study in China.

Background: Metabolic syndrome has become a major health threat throughout the world, but there are few studies that focus on the effects of housework on human metabolism. This study explores the association between housework and metabolic markers and examines whether there are gender differences in the relationship of housework intensity on these markers.

Methods: We obtained data for 2,624 participants from the China Health and Nutrition Survey and used binary logistic regression to analyze the association between housework and metabolic markers (triglycerides, high- and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, hemoglobin, blood glucose, cholesterol, and blood pressure).

Association between gene rs907715 polymorphism and gastric precancerous lesions in a Chinese population.

Background: The single nucleotide polymorphisms of interleukin-21 () gene were confirmed to be related to various diseases, but no studies have examined the possible role of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs907715, rs2221903, and rs12508721) in gastric precancerous lesions.

Aim: To explore the associations between SNPs of gene (rs907715, rs2221903, and rs12508721) and gastric precancerous lesions in a Chinese population.

Methods: Three SNPs of were genotyped using polymerase chain reaction-ligase detection reaction in 588 cases and 290 healthy controls from May 2013 to December 2016 in northwestern China.

miR-494-3p Regulates Cellular Proliferation, Invasion, Migration, and Apoptosis by PTEN/AKT Signaling in Human Glioblastoma Cells.

Malignant gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors, and the molecular mechanisms involving their progression and recurrence are still largely unclear. Substantial data indicate that the oncogene miR-494-3p is significantly elevated in gliomas, but the molecular functions of miR-494-3p in gliomagenesis are largely unknown. The present study aimed to explore the role of miR-494-3p and its molecular mechanism in human brain gliomas, malignant glioma cell lines, and cancer stem-like cells.

MicroRNA-16 inhibits glioma cell growth and invasion through suppression of BCL2 and the nuclear factor-κB1/MMP9 signaling pathway.

Recent studies have identified a class of small non-coding RNA molecules, named microRNA (miRNA), that is dysregulated in malignant brain glioblastoma. Substantial data have indicated that miRNA-16 (miR-16) plays a significant role in tumors of various origins. This miRNA has been linked to various aspects of carcinogenesis, including cell apoptosis and migration.

[Clinic analysis of 16 patients of craniocerebral trauma with Labbé vein injury].

Objectives: To study the mechanism of Labbé vein injury, and its effect on traumatic cerebral infarction and prognosis in patients of craniocerebral trauma.

Methods: The clinic imageology and data of 16 patients of craniocerebral trauma with Labbé vein injury approved intraoperatively from June 2006 to February 2009 were analyzed. To compare the effect of the intraoperative finding of Labbé vein damage and blood vessel treatment on traumatic cerebral infarction, and to analyze the traumatic cerebral infarction size and prognosis.
