Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the serum uric acid (SUA) level and the prevalence of hyperuricemia (HUA) in Chinese population.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study among 100,226 employees (79.9% male) of the Kailuan Group using physical examination data in 2006-2007. HUA was defined as SUA >356.9 μmol/L (6.0 mg/dL) for women and SUA >416.4 μmol/L (7.0 mg/dL) for men. We investigated crude and age adjusted HUA prevalence and compared characteristics of subjects with and without HUA in men and women using multivariate logistic regression.
Results: SUA levels were 244.9 ± 71.5 μmol/L in women and 302.0 ± 83.5 μmol/L in men. About 8290 (8.27%) subjects were diagnosed with HUA. Age-adjusted prevalence of HUA was 8.02% in the total sample (6.87% in women and 8.57% in men). The SUA level and HUA prevalence showed U-shaped or J-shaped associations with age. Multivariate logistic regression revealed age, waist circumference, total cholesterol, triglyceride, hypertension and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease history, prolonged sitting, alcohol consumption, and oral diuretics were independent risk factors of HUA, while long sleep duration was protective against HUA.
Conclusions: The prevalence of HUA is 6.87% and 8.57% in Chinese women and men. HUA is likely related with life style and metabolic disorders.

FOXM1 is the "Achilles' heel" of cancers and hence the potential therapeutic target for anticancer drug discovery. In this work, we selected high affinity peptides against the protein of human DNA binding domain of FOXM1 (FOXM1-DBD) from the disulfide-constrained, phage displayed random cyclic heptapeptide library Ph.D.

Anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) detection receives much attention since it is used as an ideal biomarker for quantitative assessment of ovarian reserve. The present study proposed a first report on the use of MOF-on-MOF as an electrochemical sensor for recognizing AMH in buffer and serum media. The MOF-on-MOF, MIL-88 B@UiO66NH was synthesized by the internal extended growth method (IEGM) involving MIL-88 B on UiO66NH by in situ method for the first time.

Elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray single crystal diffraction indicated that a novel metal-organic framework (Tb-MOF) designated as 0.5n[Hbpy]·[Tb(dpa)(HO)]·4nHO was synthesized successfully, (where Hdpa = 5-(3, 4-dicarboxy- phenoxy) isophenic acid, bpy = protonated 4,4'-bipyridine). Tb-MOF adopts a 3D network structure based on Tb ions and the (dpa) ligand through µ: η, η, η, η binding modes.
