Article Synopsis
  • - The study examined how long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM) affects the relationship between physical activity (PA) and type 2 diabetes risk among 71,689 participants, revealing an unclear interaction between the two.
  • - Results showed that higher levels of PA significantly lowered the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in areas with low PM levels, but the protective effect diminished and even reversed in high PM areas, with increased risks observed at higher PA intensities.
  • - The conclusion emphasized that while PA can reduce diabetes risk in low pollution settings, high PM exposure may undermine these benefits, highlighting the need for careful consideration of health risks for residents in polluted environments.

and are vectors of many flea-borne diseases. They were widely recorded in the United States and Mexico between 1970 and 2000. Maximum entropy models were used to explore the habitats of both fleas under different climate scenarios to provide the scientific basis for the surveillance and control of flea-borne diseases.

Background: Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) and mRNA profiles in leukocytes have shown potential as biomarkers for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). This study aimed to identify altered lncRNA and target mRNA profiles in peripheral blood leukocytes as biomarkers and to assess the diagnostic value and association with AIS prognosis.

Methods And Results: Differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) and differentially expressed target mRNAs (DEmRNAs) were screened by RNA sequencing in the discovery set, which consisted of 10 patients with AIS and 20 controls.

Background: Population-based epidemiological evidence regarding the association between fruit and vegetable intake and the incidence of hypertension is inconsistent. This prospective cohort study aimed to investigate the association between fruit and vegetable intake and the risk of new-onset hypertension.

Methods: Based on the project of Prediction for Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk in China (China-PAR), 58,981 Chinese adults without hypertension at baseline were included.

Background: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is underrecognized, and its association with coronary artery disease (CAD) remains limited, especially in China. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of FH and its relationship with CAD in a large Chinese cohort.

Methods: FH was defined using the Make Early Diagnosis to Prevent Early Death (MEDPED) criteria.

Background Insulin receptor substrate-1 () rs956115 is associated with vascular risk in patients with coronary artery disease and concomitant diabetes. (rs4244285) modulates clopidogrel response and predicts the outcome of coronary artery disease. This study was designed to explore the association between , genotypes, platelet reactivity, and 1-year outcome in patients with coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
