Article Abstract
Background: Few studies have examined the association between Life's Essential 8 (LE8) scores and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in less-developed countries. In this study we aimed to assess the relationship between LE8 levels and CVD and evaluate whether LE8 modifies the association between exposure to solid cooking fuels and CVD.
Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using data extracted from the China Multi-Ethnic Cohort. Cardiovascular health was scored using LE8 and categorized as low, moderate, and high. Exposure to solid fuels for cooking was classified as no exposure, intermediate exposure, and heavy exposure.
Results: Among 89,772 participants, 4444 (5.0%) had CVD. Higher LE8 scores were associated with lower CVD risk after full covariate adjustment. The adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals [CIs]) for the moderate and high LE8 groups were 0.82 (0.74-0.89) and 0.73 (0.66-0.81), respectively (P for trend < 0.001). Compared with no exposure, heavy exposure to solid fuels was associated with a higher CVD risk (odds ratio, 1.21 [95% CI, 1.06-1.40]; P = 0.004). A significant interaction was observed between the LE8 score and solid fuel exposure (P for interaction = 0.01). The inverse association between LE8 and CVD was the strongest among those with no exposure to solid fuels (odds ratio, 0.80 [95% CI, 0.71-0.91]).
Conclusions: High LE8 scores are associated with reduced CVD risk, particularly among participants with no exposure to solid fuels for cooking.

Gastrointestinal (GI) physiological variability significantly influences dissolution and bioavailability of non-disintegrating solid drug systems. This study employed the dynamic human stomach-intestine (DHSI-IV, branded as NERDT) system to characterize how gastric emptying kinetics and intestinal environmental dynamics affect drug release, using extended-release metformin matrix tablets (Glucophage XR®) and metformin osmotic pump tablets (Nida®) as model formulations. The DHSI-IV (NERDT) system accurately simulated three fasting-state gastric emptying profiles (30-120 min complete emptying) with excellent fit to the modified Elashoff model (R = 0.

Silica nanoparticles (SiONPs), as emerging foliar nanofertilizers, demonstrate promising potential in agriculture. However, whether foliar application of SiONPs alters belowground soil metabolites and microbe composition and abundance remains largely unknown. In this study, 3-week-old cucumber plants were foliar-sprayed with fumed or Stöber SiO NPs dosing at -4 mg of NPs per plant for 5 days.

Background: Solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients are not only at increased risk of morbidity and mortality due to acute COVID-19 but may also experience poor long-term outcomes due to post-acute COVID-19 syndromes, including long COVID.
Methods: This retrospective, registry-based chart review evaluated graft failure and mortality among SOT recipients diagnosed with COVID-19 at a large, urban transplant center in Houston, Texas, USA. Patient populations were analyzed separately according to their long COVID status at the time of transplant to preserve the temporal relationship between the exposure (long COVID) and the outcome (graft failure or mortality).

Biogenic amines (BAs) are organic nitrogen compounds formed through microbial decarboxylation of amino acids during food spoilage and biological metabolism. Therefore, the development of rapid, selective, and cost-effective detection strategies for BAs is significant for ensuring food safety and quality. In this study, a new dicyanoisophorone-based fluorescent probe (IPC) was developed, capable of fluorescence detection of aliphatic primary amines (e.

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in minors with gender dysphoria (GD) seeking transition treatments, including puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. The developing child's brain exhibits structural and functional differences in children with GD compared to cisgender children, particularly in areas where sex differences exist. Brain development during childhood and adolescence is strongly influenced by sex hormones.
