AI Article Synopsis

  • The study evaluated the prevalence and risk factors of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection among married individuals over two different years (2006 and 2014) using data from the Beijing Center for Disease Prevention and Control.

  • Notable findings included that age was a significant risk factor for vaccinated individuals and that for unvaccinated individuals, gender, residence, and shared syringes were key risk factors associated with HBV infection.

Article Abstract

: To assess the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection among married individuals and to analyze the associated risk factors of HBV infection in vaccinated and unvaccinated groups in 2006 and 2014.: Information of married individuals aged over 16 y with a clear HBV vaccination status was extracted from the database constructed by the Beijing Center for Disease Prevention and Control from population-based investigation.A structured questionnaire was employed to collect demographic information, vaccinated history, and other related influence information of HBV of participants. Pearson chi-square test, Fisher's test, and logistic regression were used to explore the risk factors of HBV infection.: A total of 2874 individuals in 2006 and 1622 individuals in 2014 were enrolled in our study. The mean age of individuals was 49.30 and 46.68 y in 2006 and 2014, respectively. The overall positive rates of HBsAg, anti-HBc, and single anti-HBs were 4.80%, 43.01%, and 5.78% in 2006, which were 4.69%, 38.22%, and 14.18% in 2014, respectively. For vaccinated individuals, age was significantly correlated with anti-HBc in 2014 (40 < age ≤50 versus age ≤30, relative risk (RR) = 3.03, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 1.04-8.84). Gender [male versus female, RR = 0.60, 95%CI = 0.36-1.00 (2006); RR = 0.71, 95%CI = 0.52-0.97 (2014)] and age (in 2006) were found to be significantly associated with single anti-HBs.For unvaccinated individuals, HBsAg positivity was statistically significant correlated with gender [RR = 1.47, 95%CI = 1.04-2.06, in 2006], residence (urban versus rural, RR = 0.40, 95%CI = 0.24-0.67, in 2006; RR = 0.58, 95%CI = 0.34-0.99, in 2014), sharing syringes [RR = 3.75, 95%CI = 1.33-10.63 (in 2006); RR = 2.07, 95%CI = 1.26-3.41 (in 2014)], infected wives (RR = 1.97, 95%CI = 1.28-3.05, in 2006), and infected husbands (RR = 2.19, 95%CI = 1.25-3.82, in 2006). Anti-HBc positivity was significantly associated with gender [RR = 1.19, 95%CI = 1.10-1.30 (in 2006); RR = 1.24, 95%CI = 1.09-1.40 (in 2014)], age (in 2006 and 2014), endoscopic medicine treatment [RR = 1.16, 95%CI = 1.03-1.32 (in 2006), RR = 1.21, 95%CI = 1.01-1.45 (in 2014)], sharing syringes (RR = 1.43, 95%CI = 1.25-1.64, in 2014), body piercing (RR = 0.84, 95%CI = 0.75-0.93, in 2006), infected wives (RR = 1.32, 95%CI = 1.18-1.47, in 2006), and infected husbands (RR = 1.39, 95%CI = 1.22-1.59, in 2006). Anti-HBs positivity was associated with age (in 2006 and 2014).: Prevalence of HBV infection was lower in 2014 than in 2006 according to HBsAg and anti-HBc positivity. Unvaccinated individuals faced much more risk of HBV infection than those of vaccinated.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the clinicopathologic features of primary fallopian tubal carcinoma (PFTC) and high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) and explore the prognostic factors of these two malignant tumors.

Methods: Fifty-seven patients diagnosed with PFTC from 2006 to 2015 and 60 patients diagnosed with HGSOC from 2014 to 2015 with complete prognostic information were identified at Women's Hospital of Zhejiang University. The clinicopathological and surgical data were collected, and the survival of the patients was followed for 5 years after surgery.

Colon cancer is a significant health concern, and obesity is a well-established risk factor. However, previous studies have mainly focused on assessing body weight as a risk factor for colon cancer at a specific time point. This nationwide cohort study investigated the association between body weight changes, which can fluctuate throughout an individual's lifespan, and the incidence of colon cancer using the South Korean population database provided by the National Health Insurance Service (NHIS).

The valorization of shell-based agricultural waste biomass for biofuel production represents a promising approach within the circular bioeconomy. This study employs a bibliometric analysis to investigate research trends and identify key developments in the field from 1997 to 2023, using data from the Web of Science and VOSviewer for scientific mapping. A total of 1333 research articles were examined, revealing notable shifts in research focus: from pyrolysis and biomass energy (1997-2005) to gasification (2006-2014), and more recently, to enzymatic hydrolysis and lignocellulosic biomass gasification (2015-2023).

Introduction / Objectives: While presence of concomitant SLE and frailty has been associated with greater emergency department (ED) use than SLE alone in young/mid-aged adults, whether frailty increases ED use in older adults with SLE remains unknown. In a nationally representative United States administrative claims dataset, we investigated the association of frailty duration with use of ED services in the SLE population compared with individuals without systemic rheumatic disease (SRD).

Method: We identified Medicare beneficiaries ≥ 65 years with SLE and matched them (1:4) by age and gender with non-SRD comparators with osteoarthritis.
