Objective: To investigate the association between blood pressure and all-cause mortality in Shanxi, China.

Methods: The '2002 China Nutrition and Health Survey' baseline data in Shanxi province was used. A retrospective investigation was performed in 2015.

Pulmonary PMCT angiography by right ventricle cardiac puncture: a novel, promising approach for investigating pulmonary thromboembolism.

Forensic scholars are paying more attention to postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) and PMCT angiography (PMCTA), which are gradually becoming effective and practical methods in forensic practice. However, few studies have focused on the application of PMCTA to cardiac ventricular puncture-especially of the right ventricle. In this article, we introduce a pulmonary PMCTA approach by right ventricle cardiac puncture and its potential value in fatalities from pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE).

Burden of viral hepatitis caused by specific aetiologies in China, 1990-2016: findings from the GBD 2016.

Background: The aim of this study is to quantify the burden caused by viral hepatitis in China from 1990 to 2016.

Methods: Data from the GBD 2016 study were extracted to calculate incidence, prevalence and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). Trends in DALYs were assessed in 33 provinces/regions.

Association of cytokine gene polymorphisms with chronic hepatitis C virus genotype 1b infection in Chinese Han population: An observational study.

Cytokines are extensively involved in the process of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and take a crucial part in host immune regulation. We aimed to explore the potential correlation of cytokine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with HCV susceptibility and response rate of interferon (IFN)-based antiviral therapy in Chinese Han population.A case-control genetic association study was conducted between 198 patients with chronic HCV genotype 1b infection and 142 healthy controls.

Abdominal Obesity and Its Attribution to All-cause Mortality in the General Population with 14 Years Follow-up: Findings from Shanxi Cohort in China.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the association of waist circumference (WC) with all-cause mortality among Chinese adults.

Methods: The baseline data were from Shanxi Province of 2002 China Nutrition and Health Survey. The death investigation and follow-up visit were conducted from December 2015 to March 2016.

Burden of Cirrhosis and Other Chronic Liver Diseases Caused by Specific Etiologies in China, 1990-2016: Findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016.

Objective: To estimate the burden of cirrhosis and other chronic liver diseases caused by specific etiologies in China.

Methods: Data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016 (GBD 2016) were used. We evaluated the burden by analyzing age-sex-province-specific prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) of 33 provinces in China.

Anti-cancer effects of Polyphyllin I: An update in 5 years.

Chong-lou, the rhizome of Paris polyphylla, has been used in herbal regimes to treat parotitis, mastitis and certain malignant tumors for thousands of years in traditional medicine. Polyphyllin I (PPI) is the main bioactive component in Paris polyphylla. Recent studies of PPI in various types of cancers have shown that PPI may exert a broad spectrum of anti-tumor effects, including inducing cell cycle arrest, inducing cell apoptosis, inducing autophagy, anti-angiogenesis, sensitizing tumors to chemotherapy, and participating in the modulation of inflammatory and immune response.

Childhood BMI and Adult Obesity in a Chinese Sample: A 13-Year Follow-up Study.

Objective: Obesity is recognized as a significant risk factor for diabetes and hypertension. The present study aimed to examine the associations between adults'obesity risk and childhood and parental obesity.

Methods: A total of 204 children aged 6-17 years were recruited in 2002 with an average follow-up period of 13.

Overexpression of Fbxo6 inactivates spindle checkpoint by interacting with Mad2 and BubR1.

The spindle assembly checkpoint prevents chromosome mis-segregation during mitosis by delaying sister chromatid separation. Several F-box protein members play critical roles in maintaining genome stability and regulating cell cycle progress via ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation. Here, we showed that Fbxo6 critically regulated spindle checkpoint and chromosome segregation.

Self-rated health and health-related quality of life among Chinese residents, China, 2010.

Background: Self-rated health (SRH) and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) are two outcome measures used to assess health status. However, little is known about population-based SRH and HRQOL in China.

Methods: Data from the 2010 China Chronic Disease and Risk Factor Surveillance, a nationally representative sample of 98,658 adults (≥18-year-old) residing in China, were analyzed.

[Self-rated health status among Chinese residents, China, 2010].

Objective: To investigate the self-rated health status among Chinese residents in 2010.

Methods: Data was from the Non-communicable Disease & Risk Factor Surveillance in China, 2010. A total of 98 638 adults aged ≥ 18 years were included in the study.

[The target plasma concentration of propofol required to induce electroencephalography burst suppression with target-controlled infusion].

Objective: To determine the optimal target plasma concentration of propofol required to induce EEG burst suppression administered by TCI in order to decrease cerebral metabolic rate and increase tolerance to cerebral ischemia and hypoxia.

Methods: One hundred and fifty ASA I-II patients(aged 18-55 years-old, BMI < 30, Mallampati Score I-II) scheduled for elective surgery undergoing general anesthesia were enrolled in this study. Patients with systemic diseases or other factors effecting the electrical activity of brain were excluded.
