Populations at high risk of cervical cancer in Guangxi Province: Findings from two screening projects in a minority area of South China.

Objective: To analyse the positive rates of low-grade (LSIL) and high-grade (HSIL) squamous intraepithelial lesions, and cervical cancer (CC), and identify groups at high risk for CC in Guangxi.

Setting: CC screening options in Guangxi, which is the only minority autonomous area in South China, include the National Cervical Cancer Screening Project (NCCSP) and physical examination (PE).

Methods: This study was based on PE and NCCSP sample data obtained from 2012 to 2019.

Association between gene polymorphism, gene-environment interaction, and fatty liver disease: A case-control study in China.

Background: Fatty liver disease (FLD) is a serious public health problem that is rapidly increasing. Evidence indicates that the transcription factor EB () gene may be involved in the pathophysiology of FLD; however, whether polymorphism has an association with FLD remains unclear.

Objectives: To explore the association among polymorphism, gene-environment interaction, and FLD and provide epidemiological evidence for clarifying the genetic factors of FLD.

Caregivers' Dementia Knowledge and Care Approach in Residential Aged Care Facilities in China.

Objective: To investigate the dementia knowledge and care approach used by caregivers in residential aged care facilities (RACFs) in China.

Method: A cross-sectional survey of 785 caregivers from a random sample of 34 RACFs in China. Caregivers' knowledge and care approach were assessed using the Chinese version of the Dementia Knowledge Assessment Tool 2 and Advanced Dementia Care Questionnaire.

Palmatine-loaded electrospun poly(ε-caprolactone)/gelatin nanofibrous scaffolds accelerate wound healing and inhibit hypertrophic scar formation in a rabbit ear model.

Hypertrophic scar (HS) has been considered as a great concern for patients and a challenging problem for clinicians as it can cause functional debility, cosmetic disfigurement and psychological trauma. Although many methods have been developed to prevent and treat HS, the scarless healing is still a worldwide medical problem. In this study, palmatine-loaded poly(-caprolactone)/gelatin nanofibrous scaffolds (PCL/GE/PALs) were fabricated by electrospinning, and their effects on wound healing and HS formation were investigated.

Photosensitive properties, synergistic antibacterial abilities of intelligent response-type self-assembled nanoparticle TiO@VO.

Representative pathogenic bacteria such as () and () are widespread in nature and pose a threat to human health. To control the propagation of these pathogens from the source, the key is to design broad-spectrum antibacterial materials to reduce the serious damage of pathogenic bacteria. At present, more and more nanoparticles are widely researched and applied due to their multi-pathway antibacterial properties, such as regulating physiology, biochemistry and physical chemistry.

Potential role of CFTR in bisphenol A-induced malignant transformation of prostate cells via mitochondrial apoptosis.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an environmental endocrine disruptor and a risk factor for prostate cancer. The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is proposed to be a prostate cancer suppressor in some recent researches. However, the potential role and mechanism of CFTR in BPA-induced prostate cancer cells has not been well identified.
