Background Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) have long been important physical assessment indicators. In recent years a body shape (ABSI) roundness (BRI) gained importance as new However, it is unclear how these indicators assess psychological symptoms in adolescents. The main purpose of this study was to determine the ability BMI, WC, WHtR, ABSI, BRI recognize Chinese adolescents examine whether ABSI are superior traditional WHtR. Methods...

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a common complication following intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) and major contributing factor to its high mortality rate. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), NAD+‑dependent deacetylase, has been reported have an important role in apoptosis inhibition, oxidative stress resistance cell lifespan extension through deacetylation of forkhead box protein O3 (FOXO3). It demonstrated that icariin (ICA), flavonoid extracted from Epimedium, upregulates SIRT1 expression. The aim the...
