Urinary NGAL and RBP Are Biomarkers of Normoalbuminuric Renal Insufficiency in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus by Aimei Li, Bin Yi, Yan Liu, Jianwen Wang, Qing Dai, Yuxi Huang, Yan Chun Li, Hao Zhang

“…Compared to the NO-CKD group, the NA-DKD group was older with lower hemoglobin (HB) levels and higher systolic blood pressure (SBP), plasma TNF-α, IL-6, and 8-OHdG levels. Logistic regression analysis suggested that age, TNF-α, and 8-OHdG were independent risk factors for nonalbuminuric renal insufficiency. …”

Determination of distance away and depth of transmitters relative to a vertical acoustic telemetry array in the open ocean by Eric V. C. Schneider, Brendan S. Talwar, David M. Bailey, Shaun S. Killen, Dale M. Webber, Courtney E. MacSween, Travis E. Van Leeuwen, Frank I. Smith

“…The bottom depth of this habitat often exceeds transmission (~ 500-1000 m) and receiver (500–750 m) range specifications for commonly used acoustic telemetry methods that rely on an array of receivers deployed on the seafloor with overlapping fields of detection to provide positioning of acoustically tagged individuals. This poses logistical challenges for tracking the fine-scale movements, behaviors, and associations to moored and free-floating structure of these species. …”

Clinical Features and Contributing Factors of Excessive Daytime Sleepiness in Chinese Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients: The Role of Comorbid Symptoms and Polysomnographic Variables by Chuan Shao, Huan Qi, Ruyi Lang, Biyun Yu, Yaodong Tang, Lina Zhang, Xun Wang, Ling Wang

“…Body mass index (BMI) was highest in the severe EDS group (29.1 ± 3.6 kg/m2) (p<0.0001), intermediate in the mild to moderate EDS group (27.9 ± 3.3 kg/m2), and lower in the non-EDS group (26.8 ± 3.3 kg/m2). Logistic regression analysis showed waist circumference, memory loss, work/commute disturbances, and sleep efficiency were independently associated with mild to moderate EDS, and the microarousal index, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), and saturation impair time below 90% were independent contributing factors of mild to moderate EDS. …”

Comparison of photodynamic therapy and LEEP in women of reproductive age with cervical squamous intraepithelial neoplasia 2 (CIN2): A prospective observational study in China by Cheng Li, Xuanhui Wang, Qiulin Cui, Mian He, Ming Chen

“…Results: At the 3-month follow-up, the rates of disease regression to normal or CIN1 in the PDT group were 76.6% (72/94) and 13.8% (13/94), respectively, whereas in the LEEP group, they were 80.7% (109/135) and 11.1% (15/135), respectively. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the transformation zone type 3 was the only risk factor for both the PDT (OR=3.68; 95% CI, 2.43-5.26; P=0.008) and LEEP groups (OR=2.34; 95% CI, 1.84-4.53; P=0.02). …”
