Abstract Background Since December 2019, SARS-CoV-2 has extended to most parts of China with >80 000 cases and at least 100 countries >60 international as 15 March 2020. Here we used a household cohort study determine the features transmission COVID-19. Methods A total 105 index patients 392 contacts were enrolled. Both members tested by RT-PCR. Information on all recruited individuals was extracted from medical records confirmed or supplemented telephone interviews. The...
TGF-β is essential for vascular development; however, excess signaling promotes thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection in multiple disorders, including Marfan syndrome. Since the pathology of overactivity manifests primarily within arterial media, it widely assumed that suppression smooth muscle cells will ameliorate disease. We tested this hypothesis by conditional inactivation Tgfbr2, which encodes type II receptor, postweanling mice. Surprisingly, aorta rapidly thickened, dilated,...
We present GamiCAD, a gamified in-product, interactive tutorial system for first time AutoCAD users. introduce software event driven finite state machine to model user's progress through tutorial, which allows the provide real-time feedback and recognize success failures. GamiCAD provides extensive visual audio that has not been explored before in context of tutorials. perform an empirical evaluation comparing it equivalent in-product without components. In evaluation, users using reported...
<h3>Importance</h3> Electroacupuncture (EA) is a widely recognized therapy for depression and sleep disorders in clinical practice, but its efficacy the treatment of comorbid insomnia remains uncertain. <h3>Objective</h3> To assess safety EA as an alternative improving quality mental state patients with depression. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> A 32-week patient- assessor-blinded, randomized, sham-controlled trial (8-week intervention plus 24-week observational follow-up) was...
Advances in the diagnosis and management of congenital heart disease have led to a marked improvement survival adult with (ACHD) patients. However, ACHD patients are heterogeneous population, large spectrum anatomic substrates even within specific lesions. In addition, nature previous surgery other intervention is highly variable rendering each patient unique residual haemodynamic abnormalities very common. As population continues age, acquired will also require cardiac imaging assessment....
We previously demonstrated that carbon dioxide inhalation could induce panic anxiety in a group of rare lesion patients with focal bilateral amygdala damage. To further elucidate the amygdala-independent mechanisms leading to aversive emotional experiences, we retested two these (B.G. and A.M.) examine whether triggering palpitations dyspnea via stimulation non-chemosensory interoceptive channels would be sufficient elicit anxiety. Participants rated their affective sensory experiences...
China has the highest disease burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary (COPD) in world; however, diagnosis rate remains low. Screening for COPD population may improve early and long-term health outcomes patients with COPD. In this study, we aimed to evaluate cost-effectiveness population-based screening policies China.
Background: The flooding of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina revealed the disproportionate vulnerability ethnic minority communities for emergency preparedness, disaster relief and health. Nurses need to analyse Katrina's health consequences most vulnerable segments our society. Aim: To examine factors contributing differential outcomes among Vietnamese community in response Katrina. Methods: A sample 113 adult survivors from was recruited. mixed‐method approach, including survey focus...
A bilayered mucoadhesive buccal film containing a combination of ornidazole (OD) and dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DEX) was prepared using solvent casting to treat oral ulcers. Films were systematically evaluated in vitro obtain the optimum formulation. The therapeutic effects these films investigated rabbit ulcer model vivo release OD DEX human cavity also evaluated. backing layer contained ethyl cellulose an optimal both produced. from formulation 0.427 ± 0.015 mm thick, weighed 55.89...
The aim of the study was to specify prevalence and severity menopausal symptoms, investigate associated factors in Chinese middle-aged women.A cross-sectional, community-based carried out involving 1,054 participants aged 40 60 years Gongshu District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, PR China. presence symptoms were evaluated by having complete a modified Kupperman Menopausal Index questionnaire. Serum levels follicle-stimulating hormone estradiol measured. Physical sociodemographic characteristics...
Due to the complex vegetation and topography conditioning plateau mountainous area, forest fire is difficult put out in this area once it occurred. The research on danger prediction very significant for prevention fighting mountain area. Based dataset from 1997 2018 Lijiang paper applied spatial overlay analysis, Kriging interpolation analysis Logistic regression model study relationship between occurrence elevation, types meteorological factors. An optimal was selected predict probability...
Rhythmic strain stimulates Caco-2 proliferation. We asked whether mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation mediates mitogenicity and characterized upstream signals regulating MAPK. cells were subjected to on collagen I-precoated membranes or antibodies integrin subunits. Twenty-four hours of cyclic increased cell numbers compared with static conditions. MAPK-extracellular signal-regulated (ERK) inhibition (20 microM PD-98059) blocked mitogenicity. p38 Inhibition (10 SB-202190) did...

Renal dysfunction predicts all-cause mortality in general population. However, the prevalence of renal insufficiency and its relationship with cancer patients are unclear. We retrospectively studied 9465 newly diagnosed from January 2010 to December 2010. was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 using Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation. The hazard ratio (HR) associated baseline eGFR assessed by Cox regression. Three thousand...

With the rapid development of automobile industry and increasing demand for automobiles, consumers also have more car requirements. They do not only consider energy, safety price but expect a good indoor environment improved thermal comfort. In order to construct apply comfort evaluation method suitable Chinese consumers, relationship between equivalent space temperature sensation was obtained by collecting characteristic data human body in different environments. An based on whole-body...
