Background: Alcohol drinking can cause hyperuricemia (HUA), but few studies have explored alcohol abstinence's health effects, particularly the abstinence duration on HUA. This study aimed to evaluate the associations of abstinence with HUA in rural Chinese adults.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of 38,855 participants (15,371 males and 23,484 females) using the baseline data (2015-2017) from the Henan Rural Cohort Study. A questionnaire survey collected information on alcohol consumption patterns. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the associations of type of alcoholic beverages, abstinence status and abstinence duration with HUA, respectively. Restricted cubic spline models were applied to visualize the dose-response trend of HUA risk with increasing abstinence duration.

Results: 3,978 cases of 38,855 participants were identified with HUA. Total alcohol intake, including beer, liquor and rice wine intake was significantly associated with the increased risk of HUA, especially for male participants. Compared with current drinkers, former drinkers and non-drinkers presented lower ORs (95%CIs) of 0.686 (0.676, 0.844) and 0.718 (0.649, 0.793) for HUA. Furthermore, the aORs (95%CIs) for those former drinkers with < 5, 6-10 and ≥ 11 years abstinence duration were 0.868 (0.693, 1.086), 0.753 (0.519, 1.092) and 0.717 (0.517, 0.990), respectively. In addition, the risk of HUA decreased with the increasing years of abstinence duration (P for trend < 0.050) and negative linear dose-response associations were observed.

Conclusion: Former drinkers were associated with a reduced risk of HUA compared with current drinkers. Moreover, sustained alcohol abstinence could be beneficial for preventing HUA.

Clinical Trial Registration: The Henan Rural Cohort Study was registered on the Chinese Clinical Trial Register (Registration number: ChiCTR-OOC-15006699). Date of registration: 2015-07-06 http://www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.aspx?proj=11375 .

Impact of postharvest ripening on peach quality: Aroma release and formation mechanism.

Peach aroma could be further released during postharvest ripening but the mechanism of aroma formation was still unclear. During peaches stored at 4 °C for 0-8 days (D0-8), flavoromics were performed to reveal aroma release and their formation pathways. γ-Decalactone content in D2 and D4 increased by 83 % and 60 % through oleic acid metabolism compared with D0, strengthening peach-like aroma.

Electronic address:

Human-mediated fish invasions have reconfigured the native fish faunas throughout the freshwater ecosystems worldwide. Beyond the well-documented homogenization reported in temperate basins, our knowledge on how multifaceted biodiversity response to fish invasions in tropic rivers remains poorly understood. It is also hanged in doubt that how fish invasions modify the longitudinal patterns of fish faunas under the concept of river continuum.

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and zearalenone (ZEN) are the most prevalent mycotoxins in production, posing a serious threat to human and animal health. Therefore, it is very urgent to find a safe and efficient method for the biodegradation of these mycotoxins. Our previous study demonstrated that Bacillus subtilis ZJ-2019-1 moderately degrades both mycotoxins in vitro and ZEN in female gilts.
