Global variation in diabetes diagnosis and prevalence based on fasting glucose ...
Zhou, Bin; Sheffer, Kate E.; Bennett, James E.; Gregg, Edward W.; Danaei, Goodarz; Singleton, Rosie K.; Shaw, Jonathan E.; Mishra, AnuFasting plasma glucose (FPG) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) are both used to diagnose diabetes, but these measurements can identify different people as having diabetes. We used data from 117 population-based studies and quantified, in different world regions, the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes, and whether those who were previously undiagnosed and detected as having diabetes in survey screening, had elevated FPG,...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-03-01; From 1985 to 2016, the prevalence of underweight decreased, and that of obesity and severe obesity increased, in most regions, with significant variation in the magnitude of these changes across regions. We investigated how much change in mean body mass index (BMI) explains changes in the prevalence of ...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2017-12-16; Wellcome Trust; AstraZeneca; Background Underweight, overweight, and obesity in childhood and adolescence are associated with adverse health consequences throughout the life-course. Our aim was to estimate worldwide trends in mean body-mass index (BMI) and a comprehensive set of BMI categories that cove...
Pharmacokinetics of oleracimine in rats by ultra-high-performance liquid chroma...
Qu, Gonglin; Xu, Liang; Zhang, Wenjie; Ying, XixiangThe novel alkaloid, oleracimine, presented remarkable anti-inflammatory bioactivity, and therefore, its pharmacokinetics was investigated in rat plasma after intravenous and oral administration by using a rapid ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) method with UV detection at 270 nm. The analysis was performed on a shim-pack ODS column (75 mm×2 mm, 1.6 µm particle size, Shimadzu, Japan) column us...
Cytotoxicity of hydroxydihydrobovolide and its pharmacokinetic studies in Portu...
Xu, Liang; Tao, Xiaojun; Gao, Yucong; Zhang, Wenjie; Meng, Yihan; Li, Cuiyu; Jiang, Mingyue; Xixiang, YingHydroxydihydrobovolide (HDB) was for the first time isolated from Portulaca oleracea L. and then its cytotoxicity against SH-SYTY cells was studied. Moreover, a rapid and sensitive ultra-high performance liquid chromatographic (UHPLC) method with bergapten as internal standard (IS) was developed and validated to investigate the pharmacokinetics of HDB in rats after intravenous and oral administrations of extrac...

Abarca-Gómez, Leandra; Abdeen, Ziad A~.; Hamid, Zargar Abdul; Abu-Rmeileh, Niveen M.; Acosta-Cazares, Benjamin; Acuin, Cecilia; Adams, Robert J.Background Underweight, overweight, and obesity in childhood and adolescence are associated with adverse health consequences throughout the life-course. Our aim was to estimate worldwide trends in mean body-mass index (BMI) and a comprehensive set of BMI categories that cover underweight to obesity in children and adolescents, and to compare trends with those of adults. Methods We pooled 2416 population-based s...
A kriging model for dynamics of mechanical systems with revolute joint clearances
Zhang, Zhenhua; Xu, Liang; Flores, Paulo; Lankarani, H. M.Over the past two decades, extensive work has been conducted on the dynamic effect of joint clearances in multibody mechanical systems. In contrast, little work has been devoted to optimizing the performance of these systems. In this study, the analysis of revolute joint clearance is formulated in terms of a Hertzian-based contact force model. For illustration, the classical slider-crank mechanism with a revolu...
