BACKGROUND There is a paucity of data on the prevalence of risk factors and their associations with incident cardiovascular disease in women compared with men, especially from low-income and middle-income countries. METHODS In the Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiological (PURE) study, we enrolled par...

OBJECTIVES: -methyladenosine (m6A) is one of the most abundant internal RNA modifications. We investigated the role of m6A-modified circRERE in osteoarthritis (OA) and its mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS: CircRERE and IRF2BPL were screened by microarrays. The role of m6A-modification in circRERE wa...

Abstract Water transport in the unsaturated zone is an important part of the hydrological cycle and is the link between the atmosphere‒soil‐groundwater for material and energy transport. The accurate prediction of soil moisture (SM) is essential for the rational exploitation of water resources. Data...

China's profoundly rapid modernization in the past two decades has resulted in dramatic changes in indoor environmental exposures. Among these changes, exposure to phthalates has attracted increasing attention. We aimed to characterize indoor phthalate exposure and to estimate the disease burden att...

Media amendment has been more and more frequently tested in stormwater bioretention systems for enhanced runoff pollutant treatment. However, few studies systematically evaluated the amended system over a long time span, which hindered the further optimization of the proposed amended media. In this ...

BACKGROUND: Separate studies suggest that the risks from smoking might vary between high-income (HICs), middle-income (MICs), and low-income (LICs) countries, but this has not yet been systematically examined within a single study using standardised approaches. We examined the variations in risks fr...

Abstract Background Although mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been effective in tendinopathy, the mechanisms by which MSCs promote tendon healing have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that MSCs transfer mitochondria to injured tenocytes in vitro and in vivo to pro...

Abstract Background Vasculopathy is the most common complication of diabetes. Endothelial cells located in the innermost layer of blood vessels are constantly affected by blood flow or vascular components; thus, their mechanosensitivity plays an important role in mediating vascular regulation. Endot...

Basalt fiber (BF) with modification of iron (Fe-MBF) and calcium (Ca-MBF) were filled into constructed wetland-microbial fuel cell (CW-MFC) for innovative comparison of improved performance under perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) exposure. More enhancement on nitrogen and phosphorus removal was observed...

Modified basalt fiber (MBF) is a potential material that has been applied in wastewater treatment fields. In this study, superior performances of MBFs by calcium (Ca-MBF) and polyethyleneimine modification (PEI-MBF) were compared in constructed wetlands (CWs). Via chemical grafting, higher biofilm c...

Based on ethnographic research conducted in two nursing homes in China, this article examines how institutional eldercare reshapes the expectations and practices of filial piety. It finds that families accept institutional care as a solution to the elderly care deficit. They expect a new division of...

In this study, constructed wetland-microbial fuel cell (CW-MFC) filled with modified basalt fiber (MBF) via iron modification was utilized for treating perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) containing sewage. Results showed the significant promotion by bioelectricity on ammonium and total nitrogen by 7.80-8...

Arterial stiffening is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, particularly affecting organs with low vascular resistance, such as the brain and kidneys. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is the clinical gold standard for arterial stiffness assessment; however, conventional equipment require...
