Abstract

To investigate the relationship between serum uric acid/creatinine(SUA/Cr) ratio and metabolic syndrome(MS) and its components in population, whose thyroid function were normal. From October 2018 to January 2019, 800 volunteers were recruited in this study from four districts of Shenzhen City. The questionnaires, physical examinations and biochemical tests were conducted completely. All objects who met the standard of MS(International Diabetes Federation) and normal thyroid function were selected. According to the quartiles of SUA/Cr, the objects were divided into four groups. The linear trend χ~2 test was used to analyze the influence of SUA/Cr on the prevalence of MS. Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to analyze the influence of SUA/Cr on the prevalence of the number of MS components. Binary Logistic regression analysis of SUA/Cr and MS and its components correlation were also performed. A restricted cubic spline model was used to analyze the dose-response relationship between SUA/Cr and MS morbidity. After screening by inclusion and exclusion criteria, total 543 euthyroid participants were included in this study, and the prevalence of MS was 22. 28% among these euthyroid participants. SUA/Cr positively correlated w...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
