Health-protective behaviors, such as receiving a vaccine, wearing face mask, and washing hands frequently, can reduce the risk of contracting influenza. However, little is known about how social capital may influence health-protective behavior in general population. This study examined whether each dimensions (bonding, bridging, linking) contributed to intention adopt any behaviors an influenza pandemic. The data this were from 2014 Taiwan Social Change Survey. A stratified, three-stage...
DNA methylation is a critical step in brain development, 5-Methyl-2'-deoxycytidine (5mdC) one of the global markers. Arsenic and lead exposures have been associated with neurotoxicity, which may be linked to epigenetic changes. Our research sought investigate correlation between 5mdC developmental delay (DD) among preschoolers. Additionally, we assessed whether modified impacts blood total urinary arsenic levels on DD. We analyzed concentrations 5mdC, cadmium lead, 174 children DD 88 healthy...
Pre-pregnancy overweightness or obesity affects nutritional status and micronutrient imbalance such as folate iron during pregnancy. We studied the relationships between intake dietary patterns with serum biomarkers among pregnant population pre-pregnancy obesity. This cross-sectional study utilized data from 2017-2019 Nationwide Nutrition Health Survey. Participants (n = 436) were Taiwanese women Dietary evaluation was conducted by food frequency questionnaire 24-hour recall. developed...
While screening of thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) has been recommended in women with primary ovarian insufficiency, the relationship between autoimmunity (TAI) and reserve remains undetermined. Because TAI prevalence was reported to be different ethnic/racial groups, this study aimed investigate Chinese variable reserve.This is a cross-sectional conducted university infertility clinic October 2013 March 2016. Among patients at their first entry clinic, total 1044 available results...
In renal cell carcinoma (RCC), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP) 3 expression is lost, suggesting that the TIMP3 gene may function as a tumor suppressor gene. Cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) exposure affect TIMP3. Here we investigate association clear RCC with polymorphisms, explore whether polymorphisms modify relationship between blood Cd or total urinary As levels respectively. We recruited 281 patients 689 sex- age-matched controls. The was diagnosed by pathological evaluation...
We aimed to evaluate the prognostic ability of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) serum albumin ratio (BAR) predict in-hospital mortality in patients with lung cancer intensive care unit (ICU).Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV v1.0) database was used identify who were diagnosed cancer. The primary outcome mortality. Multivariate COX regression investigate association between BAR and propensity score matching (PSM) inverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW) also ensure...
Vitamin D is involved in the pathophysiology of anemia. This cross-sectional study was conducted using Nationwide Nutrition and Health Survey Pregnant Women Taiwan database. We investigated associations among dietary patterns (DPs), vitamin D, iron-related biomarkers pregnant women. The principal component analysis revealed four DPs. Linear logistic regression analyses were performed to investigate association DPs with anemia-related biomarkers. Plant-based, carnivore, dairy nondairy...
We compared the predictive ability of Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) to diagnose dementia in a community-based study. A total 276 people aged 60 years or older were enrolled. All participants administered face-to-face interview questionnaires MoCA MMSE examinations. The receiver operating characteristic curve method area under performed assess for diagnosing dementia. had mean age 67.9 ± 6.1 education duration 11.4 4.0 years. In general, yielded...
Globally, anemia affects 56 million pregnant women, especially women with a low household income. Functional erythropoiesis requires constant supply of micronutrients, and the demands significantly increase during fetal development. This study aims to identify dietary patterns for preventing gestational erythropoiesis-associated micronutrient deficiencies (e.g., iron, folic acid, vitamin B12). A Nationwide Nutrition Health Survey in Pregnant Women, Taiwan (NAHSIT-PW), was conducted between...
Inorganic arsenic (iAs) is carcinogenic to humans. Methylated metabolites of (As) found in the urine could serve as potential tools for screening and early detection cancer populations exposed As. Relatively little information available regarding changes As methylation profiles after cessation exposure.We examined urinary (uAs) species over 15 years a cancer-free population that has ceased heavy prolonged ingestion As.In 1989, cohort study was carried out with 1,081 adults who resided three...
This study hypothesized that plasma folate and vitamin B12 levels modified the association between blood lead cadmium total urinary arsenic bone loss. A of 447 subjects who received a physical examination at Wanfang Hospital Medical Center were recruited. Bone loss was defined as calcaneus mineral density T-score less than -1. Blood concentrations measured by ICP-MS. Urinary species determined using HPLC-HG-AAS. SimulTRAC-SNB radioassay used to measure folate, B12, homocysteine levels. Total...
Background: Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) is a global micronutrient issue that commonly occurs in pregnant women, leading to adverse health outcomes. We examined the role of sunlight-related factors and dietary vitamin intake on concentrations among women different climate zones. Methods: conducted nationwide cross-sectional survey Taiwan between June 2017 February 2019. The data 1502 were collected, including sociodemographic information characteristics related pregnancy, diet, sun exposure....
Adiponectin is an adipokine multipeptide hormone with insulin-sensitizing; anti-atherosclerotic; and anti-inflammatory properties. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) may be associated low adiponectin. The adiponectin gene ADIPOQ thought to the only major responsible for plasma levels; which are diabetes diabetic nephropathy. purpose of this study was investigate association between polymorphism CKD. In addition; combined effects levels total urinary arsenic blood cadmium on CKD were also explored....
Epigenetic effects of environmental pollutants may be related to carcinogenesis. This study aimed explore the association between global DNA methylation marker: 5-methyl-2-deoxycytidine (5mdC) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC), further investigated whether plasma folate vitamin B12 levels 5mdC modified blood cadmium concentrations RCC. We recruited 174 RCC patients 673 non-RCC controls. Blood concentrations, were measured. The amount in sample was expressed as percentages total cytosine...
T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T - ALL)/T-cell lymphoma (T-LBL) is an uncommon but highly aggressive hematological malignancy. It has high recurrence and mortality rates challenging to treat. This study conducted bioinformatics analyses, compared genetic expression profiles of healthy controls with patients having T-ALL/T-LBL, verified the results through serological indicators. Data were acquired from GSE48558 dataset Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). T-ALL normal T cells-related...
The aim of the present study was to investigate effects electroacupuncture (EA) on proliferation chondrocytes and molecular mechanism(s) involved. Passage 2 were randomly divided into four groups treated with EA or nocodazole. After treatment, cell determined using an MTT assay DNA staining followed by FACS. mRNA expression levels cyclin D1, cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)4, CDK6, phosphorylated retinoblastoma (pRb) P16 detected RT-PCR, protein CDK4, pRb western blotting. treatment...
Abstract Background This exploratory study aimed to investigate factors related infant deaths using a conceptual framework that explains the risk of in developing countries.
