Objective This study examined the prevalence of impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and diabetes their associated factors in 17,184 Chinese hypertensive adults aged 45–75 years. Methods A cross-sectional investigation was carried out a rural area Lianyungang, China. Previously undiagnosed [fasting plasma (FPG) ≥7.0mmol/l] IFG (6.1–6.9mmol/l) were defined based on FPG concentration. diagnosed determined basis self-report. Total included both previously diabetes. Results The diabetes, 3.4%, 9.8%,...

Background The prevalence of major depressive disorder (MDD) is higher in those with low levels educational attainment, the unemployed and social status. However extent to which these factors cause MDD unclear. Most available data comes from studies developed countries, findings may not extrapolate developing countries. Examining relationship between socio economic status China likely add debate because radical changes occurring over last 30 years. Principal We report results 3,639 Chinese...

Although the association between cigarette smoking and risk of type 2 diabetes is well established, its mechanisms are yet to be clarified. This study examined possible mediating effects adiponectin, leptin, C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations on smoking-diabetes association.Between 2002 2011, we followed 3338 Japanese workers, aged 35-66 years, who were enrolled in second Aichi workers' cohort study. We used multivariable-adjusted Cox regression models determine hazard ratios respective...

Abstract Background Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) has been demonstrated to be involved in not only lipid metabolism but also glucose homeostasis. Glycated haemoglobin (HbA 1c ) is a ‘gold standard’ for monitoring long‐term glycaemic control. However, the correlation of plasma PCSK9 levels with HbA remains undetermined. Methods We consecutively enrolled 805 subjects undergoing coronary angiography, including 176 patients 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and 629 non‐diabetic...

Abstract Background Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is mainly secreted by the liver, and plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism disorder. Sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) can regulate through various pathways, including reducing visceral fat accumulation, modulating serum lipoprotein levels alleviating hepatic steatosis. However, specific regulatory mechanisms remain unclear. Methods We built model of glucose disorder vivo vitro, explored mechanism...

We investigated if preinjury perceived social support moderated the association between pre- and postinjury functional status after hip fracture in older adults. Using data from longitudinal Health Retirement Study (biennial interviews 1998 to 2018), we analyzed measured [activities of daily living (ADL) or instrumental activities (IADL) limitations] at interviews. Among 709 respondents, 61% anticipated friends family they required future assistance with personal care, 16% had difficulty ADL...

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are exposed either by VUV photons emitted from oxygen or hydrogen plasmas and neutral active species both plasmas. The water contact angle (WCA) of PET surface increased after treatment with H 2 + atoms, due to the cleavage oxygen‐containing groups photons. WCA decreased for case O O‐related species, leading be released polar like −COH −COOH a depth less than about 10 nm. Oxygen‐related neutrals etched film generated rough which also contributed decrease in...
