A photonic scanning receiver with optical frequency scanning and electrical intermediate frequency envelope detection is proposed to implement wide-range microwave frequency measurement. This system applies photonic in-phase and quadrature frequency mixing to distinguish and measure the signals in two frequency bands that mirror each other. Combined with the photonic frequency octupling technique, the proposed system has a frequency measurement range that is 16 times that of the sweeping range of the electrical signal source. Besides, optical frequency sweeping with up and down chirps is used to relax the requirement for precise synchronization between the sweeping source and the analog-to-digital converter. In the experiment, using an electrical sweeping local oscillator having a bandwidth of 1.75 GHz, the system achieves a frequency measurement range as large as 28 GHz. The measurement errors are kept within 24 MHz with an average error of 9.31 MHz.

January 2025

Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, School of Public Health, Anhui Medical University, Hefei, China.

Background: Health literacy (HL) is a critical determinant of health outcomes. Improving HL stands as one of the most essential, cost-effective, and efficacious strategies for enhancing the overall health of the population. This study aims to analyze the status of HL among urban and rural residents in Anhui Province, explore the associated factors, and provide a scientific basis for the formulation of targeted health education and promotion strategies.

Background And Aims: Steatotic liver disease (SLD) is the most common chronic liver disease strongly associated with metabolic dysfunction, but its pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. Exploring plasma circulating metabolites may help in elucidating underlying mechanisms and identifying new biomarkers for SLD.

Methods: We examined cross-sectionally the association between plasma metabolites and SLD as well as liver enzymes using data from 4 population-based cohort studies (Rotterdam study, Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, The Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Family Study, and Study of Latinos).
