AIM:To demonstrate the prevalence of sonographic fatty liver, overweight and ischemic heart disease (IHD) among male workers in Taiwan, to investigate possible association these three factors. METHODS:From July September 2003, a total 2 088 aircraft-maintenance aged from 22 65 years (mean 40.5) underwent an annual health examination, including anthropometrical evaluation, blood pressure measurement, personal medical history assessment, biochemical analysis, abdominal ultrasonographic...
The long-term immunogenicity of universal hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccine is seldom studied in large-scale prospective community-based populations, especially adolescents. This study enrolled 1200 children aged 7 years with complete HBV immunization infancy and determined surface antigen (HBsAg), its antibody (anti-HBs), core (anti-HBc) annually until the were 14 years. Eleven had new infections anti-HBc positivity as only marker. None became positive for HBsAg or detectable DNA by...
Background The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) code is widely used as the reference in medical system and billing purposes. However, classifying diseases into ICD codes still mainly relies on humans reading a large amount written material basis for coding. Coding both laborious time-consuming. Since conversion ICD-9 to ICD-10, coding task became much more complicated, deep learning– natural language processing–related approaches have been studied assist disease coders....
Abstract Background Malnutrition is not uncommon among the elderly undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) and related to increased complications. Previous studies have shown that Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) predicts outcomes in various populations. Nevertheless, research exploring correlation between GNRI postoperative PD scarce. This study aimed investigate preoperative malnutrition, as measured by GNRI, on patients PD. Materials Methods retrospective analysis enrolled 144...
This paper describes a video coding technology proposal submitted by MediaTek in April 2018 response to joint call for proposals (CfP) issued ITU-T VCEG and ISO/IEC MPEG. The uses the conventional block-based hybrid approach with breakthrough design of block structure, substantial improvements tools, new inventions loop filtering techniques. First, structure is designed using highly flexible partitioning scheme, where each tree unit picture split into multiple units (CUs) recursive...
Oxidative stress is increased in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Variants the UGT1A1 gene contribute to bilirubin levels, and can act as an antioxidant. We hypothesize that variant genotypes reduce risk for NAFLD development.Two hundred thirty-four obese children 6 13 years of age were recruited. was determined through ultrasonography. The UGT1A1*6 UGT1A1*28 detected. assessed effects on pediatric NAFLD.In total, 12% had NAFLD. subjects with lower serum total levels (0.25 +/- 0.30...
Particle plasmon resonance (PPR), or localized surface (LSPR), utilizes intrinsic in metal nanoparticles for sensor fabrication. While diffraction grating waveguides monitor bioaffinity adsorption with out-of-plane illumination, integrating them PPR biomolecular detection schemes remains underexplored. This study introduces a label-free biosensing platform waveguide. Gold are immobilized on glass slide contact sample, while UV-assisted embossed is positioned opposite. The setup reflection to...
The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Next-generation sequencing technologies are essential for exploring the microbiome. While recent advancements full-length 16S (FL16S) rRNA offer better taxonomic resolution, whether they establish stronger associations with risk of MASLD remains to be determined. This study utilized long-read FL16S and short-read V3-V4 profile microbiome compositions age-, sex-, BMI-matched...
ABSTRACT Given the escalating prevalence of obesity worldwide, identifying efficacious dietary components is crucial. This study investigated whether citrus‐derived 5‐demethyl‐polymethoxyflavones (5‐DPMFs) protect against in high‐fat diet (HFD)‐induced obese mice. Male C57BL/6 mice were fed an HFD and supplemented with a powder (CP) containing 5‐DPMFs as main bioactive components. Two doses CP (0.25% 1% diet) tested, corresponding to approximately 36 145 mg/kg body weight 5‐DPMFs,...
We have synthesized and characterized a novel thermally polymerizable triaryldiamine monomer (VB-FNPD) possessing styrene-functionalized 9,9-diarylfluorene core used time-of-flight transient photocurrent techniques to investigate the hole transport properties of its solution-processed subsequently cured (170 °C) polymer films. This polymeric material exhibits non-dispersive behavior with high drift mobility (up 10−4 cm2V−1 s−1). The film displayed remarkable ambient stability, even when...
Abstract Background/Aims There are substantial genetic components contributing to the susceptibility of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease ( NAFLD ). It has recently been reported that rs641738 C>T variant in membrane‐bound O‐acyltransferase domain‐containing protein 7 MBOAT ) gene increased severity adults European descent. We aimed test hypothesis would increase hepatic steatosis and hepatocellular injury obese children. Methods A total 831 children aged 7‐15 years were recruited. Hepatic...
Concurrent with the recent rise of incidence in obesity, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is increasingly prevalent childhood. The aim this study was to identify non-invasive biomarkers for steatosis obese children and adolescents.We used a cross-sectional examine risk factors adolescents. Sixty-nine subjects aged 6-17 years were recruited. diagnosis made by ultrasonography. Anthropometric, serum biochemical variables, oral glucose tolerance tests measured.Thirty-eight (55.1%) had steatosis....
