OBJECTIVE The orphan nuclear receptor Nur77 is an important factor regulating metabolism. Nur77 knockout mice become obese with age, but the cause of obesity in these mice has not been fully ascertained. We attempted to explain the cause of obesity in Nur77 knockout mice from the perspective of the gut microbiota and to investigate the inhibitory…[Read more]

In regression analyses, women with previous salpingectomy had a significantly lower risk of EOC Type II (odds ratio 0.62; 95% confidence interval 0.45-0.85) but not Type I (OR 1.16; 95%CI 0.75-1.78). Hysterectomy was associated with a reduced risk of both EOC Type I (OR 0.71; 95%CI 0.52-0.99) and Type II (OR 0.81; 95%CI 0.68-0.96). Similar…[Read more]

3% in the “61 ≤ age ≤ 70” group, 27.8% in the “ > 70” group underwent unnecessary CT (P < 0.001). Female got more unnecessary CT than male (40.6% vs 32.8%,P < 0.001). Factors associated with a greater likelihood of overusing Chest CT was the density of nodules .

Roughly 37% patients with pulmonary nodules received Chest CT too frequently…[Read more]
