r 1.50, there was no significant difference in the change in OR.TG/HDL-C is positively associated with diabetes risk. In our study, with each increasing quintile, the risk of T2DM after 4 years was 1.60 or 1.49 depending on the variables adjusted. In addition, our cohort study showed a nonlinear relationship between TG/HDL-C and T2DM incidence, with an inflection point of 1.76 or 1.50, depending on the variables adjusted. When the TG/HDL was less than 1.50, the ORs (95% CI) were 2.41 (1.82-3.18) and 2.50 (1.70-3.67). When the TG/HDL-C was greater than 1.76 or 1.50, there was no significant difference in the change in OR. To study the correlation between occupational stress and coronary heart disease in western China. A case-control design was used. From June 2016 to May 2017, 310 patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) confirmed by coronary angiography (CAG) at the Heart Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University were recruited by cluster sampling, along with 536 healthy controls. The questionnaire was developed based on a Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ). An epidemiological survey was conducted to collect clinical data. check details Chi-squared test, analysis of variance, and binary logistic regression analysis were adopted. (1) In the Han population, there were statistically significant differences in the composition of smoking, diets, sleep duration, sleep quality, and physical activity between two groups (all < 0.05). In the Uygur population, statistically significant differences in the composition of smoking, drinking, diets, sleep quality, and physical activity were found between two groups with sleep quality (OR = 1.88; 95% CI 1.047-1.782; < 0.05). Uygur patients with CHD was significantly associated with smoking (OR = 3.094; 95% CI 1.025-1.103; < 0.05) and occupation stress (OR = 1.523; 95% CI 1.757-3.062; < 0.05). Occupational stress is correlated with CHD for the Uygur population.Occupational stress is correlated with CHD for the Uygur population.Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) is the most prevalent and genetically heterogeneous form of epilepsy and accounts for 10-30% of all the cases worldwide. Ef-hand domain- (c-terminal-) containing protein 1 (EFHC1) encodes for a nonion channel protein and mutations in this gene have been extensively reported in different populations to play a causative role in JME. Linkage between JME and 6p11-12 locus has already been confirmed in Mexican and Dutch families. A case-control study was conducted on Pakistani JME patients for the first time, aimed at finding out EFHC1 mutations that have been reported in different populations. For this purpose, 66 clinically diagnosed JME patients and 108 control subjects were included in the study. Blood samples were collected from all the participants, and DNA was isolated from the lymphocytes by the modified organic method. Total 3 exons of EFHC1, harboring extensively reported mutations, were selected for genotypic analysis. We identified three heterozygous variants, R159W, V460A, P436P, and one insertion in the current study. V460A, an uncommon variant identified herein, has recently been reported in public databases in an unphenotyped American individual. This missense variant was found in 3 Pakistani JME patients from 2 unrelated families. However, in silico analysis showed that V460A may possibly be a neutral variant. While the absence of a majority of previously reported mutations in our population suggests that most of the mutations of EFHC1 are confined to particular ethnicities and are not evenly distributed across the world. However, to imply the causation, the whole gene and larger number of JME patients should be screened in this understudied population. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the advantages of carbon nanoparticles in neck dissection and to conclude its application in the treatment of clinically node-negative papillary thyroid carcinoma (CN0PTC). As a retrospective cohort study, we divided the enrolled patients into two groups, the carbon nanoparticle (CN) group and the control group according to the usage of CN. In the CN group, CN was applied to reveal drainage lymph nodes and the picked LNs were sent for fast frozen testing. If metastasis exits, modified radical lateral lymph node dissection (LLND) was performed. For both groups, prophylactic central lymph node dissection was routinely done. Finally, the demographic information, tumor characteristics, postoperative pathological results, and laboratory data were collected for analysis. A total of 61 CN0PTC were enrolled in this study, 33 in the CN group and 28 in the control group. The black-stained rate for CN was 29/40 (72.5%) with a positive prediction rate of 34.5%ds LLND. In prophylactic CLND, CN acts as a tracer which makes the parathyroid gland more identifiable and avoids risks of injuries to nerves and glands.The objective of this paper was to evaluate the existence of golden percentage in natural maxillary anterior teeth with the aid of 3D digital dental models and 2D photographs. And to propose regional values of golden percentage for restoration of maxillary anterior teeth. For this purpose, one hundred and ninety dentate subjects with sound maxillary anterior teeth were selected. Standardized frontal images were captured with DSLR, and the apparent width of maxillary anterior teeth was measured utilizing a software on a personal laptop computer. Once the dimensions were recorded, the calculations were made according to the golden percentage theory (GPT). The data were analyzed by independent and paired T-test. The level of significance was set at p less then 0.05. The golden percentage values were not found in this study. The values obtained were 16%, 15%, 20%, 20%, 15%, and 16% moving from the right canine to the left canine teeth. There was no significant gender difference in the golden percentage values. Thus, golden percentage should not be used solely for the correction of anterior teeth or for determining dental attractiveness. Emphasis should be given to a range of dental proportion on regional basis.
