In this study, we investigated the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in individuals exposed to arsenic (As) and to identify potential biomarkers. The results revealed that the FRS was positively correlated with the MMA content and MMA% but negatively correlated with the DMA% and SMI, while the AIP index was positively correlated with the DMA, MMA, MMA%, iAs, tAs and As content. In addition, ADMA was positively correlated with MMA and MMA% and negatively correlated with the SMI and DMA%. Regression models showed that ADMA and ICAM1 were positively correlated with CVD risk. Mediation analysis indicated that ADMA and ICAM1 mediated the association between As exposure and CVD risk. In conclusion, the risk of CVD is higher in residents previously exposed As. Endothelial injury appears to mediate the increased risk of As-induced CVD, and both ADMA and ICAM1 may serve as potential biomarkers for the early identification of this process.

Virus encephalitis (VE), recognized as one of the common kinds of central nervous system (CNS) diseases after virus infection, has a surprising correlation with autoimmune encephalitis (AE) when autoimmune antibodies emerge in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or serum. Herpes simplex virus and Epstein-Barr virus are the most critical agents worldwide. By molecular mimicry, herpes viruses can invade the brain directly or indirectly.

Imidacloprid (IMI) stress positively correlates with the potential of coumarins to alleviate abiotic stress. However, little is known about the pathways and mechanisms by which coumarin reduces the IMI residue by regulating plant secondary metabolism and plant-microbe interactions. This study examined the impact of coumarin on the uptake, translocation, and metabolism of IMI in pepper plants by modulating the signal molecule levels and microbial communities in the rhizosphere and phyllosphere.

Polyploidization (diploidy → polyploidy) was more likely to be positively associated with seed mass than with seed germination. Polyploidy is common in flowering plants, and polyploidization can be associated with the various stages of a plant's life cycle. Our primary aim was to determine the association (positive, none or negative) of polyploidy with seed mass/germination via a literature review.

Objective: Adolescents and young adults with chronic diseases face unique challenges during the college years and may consume alcohol and other substances to cope with stressors. This study aimed to assess the patterns of substance use and to determine psychosocial correlates of these behaviors among college youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Methods: College youth with T1D were recruited via social media and direct outreach into a web-based study.
Background: To analyse the epidemiological characteristics of orthopaedic trauma patients and thereby optimize healthcare resource allocation and improve treatment efficiency.
Materials And Methods: Relying on the hospital information system (HIS) database, we retrospectively analysed the epidemiological characteristics of orthopaedic trauma inpatients in our hospital between 2013 and 2022, including patient demographic information, causes of injury, location of injury and hospitalization costs.
Results: The median age of the patients was 36 (26-47) years old; the age stratification of the patients was highest in the proportion of patients aged 40-50 years old (29.
