BackgroundAn increasing number of studies suggest that environmental pollution may increase the risk of vitamin D deficiency (VDD). However, less is known about arsenic (As) exposure and VDD, particularly in Chinese pregnant women.ObjectivesThis study examines the correlations of different urinary As species with serum 25 (OH) D and VDD prevalence.MethodsWe measured urinary arsenite (As3+), arsenate (As5+), monomethylarsonic acid (MMA), and dimethylarsinic acid (DMA) levels and serum 25(OH)D2, 25(OH)D3, 25(OH) D levels in 391 pregnant women in Tianjin, China. The diagnosis of VDD was based on 25(OH) D serum levels. Linear relationship, Logistic regression, and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) were used to examine the associations between urinary As species and VDD.ResultsOf the 391 pregnant women, 60 received a diagnosis of VDD. Baseline information showed significant differences in As3+, DMA, and tAs distribution between pregnant women with and without VDD. Logistic regression showed that As3+ was significantly and positively correlated with VDD (OR: 4.65, 95% CI: 1.79, 13.32). Meanwhile, there was a marginally significant positive correlation between tAs and VDD (OR: 4.27, 95% CI: 1.01, 19.59). BKMR revealed positive correlations between As3+, MMA and VDD. However, negative correlations were found between As5+, DMA and VDD.ConclusionAccording to our study, there were positive correlations between iAs, especially As3+, MMA and VDD, but negative correlations between other As species and VDD. Further studies are needed to determine the mechanisms that exist between different As species and VDD.
Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the most prevalent pregnancy problems, and there is still debate over the relationship between vitamin D and GDM. Objectives: Our objective is to investigate the correlation between vitamin D and GDM by employing Mendelian randomization (MR) with summary data obtained from genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Methods: Data on exposures and outcomes, namely vitamin D, vitamin D insufficiency, and GDM, were acquired from the IEU OpenGWAS Project. Bidirectional MR analysis was performed utilizing the inverse variance weighted (IVW) method as the principal analytical approach. The complementary approaches employed in this study encompassed weighted median, simple mode, weighted mode, and MR-Egger regression. A series of sensitivity analysis were conducted in order to assess the reliability of the obtained results. Results: The data were acquired from the IEU OpenGWAS Project. Following the application of the three assumptions of MR, 13 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were included in the MR analysis for vitamin D levels and vitamin D deficiency on GDM, and 10 and 26 SNPs were included for GDM on vitamin D levels and deficiency, respectively. The findings from the IVW analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between vitamin D levels and GDM (OR = 1.057, 95% CI: 1.011–1.104, p = 0.015). Conversely, a negative correlation was seen between vitamin D deficiency and GDM (OR = 0.979, 95% CI: 0.959–0.999, p = 0.039). The results of the reverse MR study revealed no evidence of reverse causation between GDM and vitamin D. The findings from multiple MR approaches were in line with the direction of IVW analysis. Sensitivity analysis revealed no evidence of heterogeneity, pleiotropy, or outliers, suggesting the robustness of the results. Conclusions: There exists a causal association between vitamin D and GDM, whereby vitamin D levels serve as a risk factor for GDM.

Objective:Construct the performance evaluation index system of standardized training programs for resident doctors,and provide a reference for the improvement of standardized training standards for residents in Tianjin.Methods:Two rounds of expert correspondence using the Delphi method were conducted to determine an indicator system containing four primary indicators(budget indicators,output indicators,benefit indicators,satisfaction indicators),eight secondary indicators and 31 tertiary indicators,and the weights were calculated using hierarchical analysis.Results:Both rounds of questionnaires achieved a valid return rate of 100.0%,and the authority coefficient of experts was 0.81,which was higher than 0.7.The experts answered the questionnaires positively,and the research results were more credible.The experts reached a consensus after two rounds of questionnaire consultation and finally formed a performance evaluation index system for the residency standardized training program that included 31 three-level indicators in four dimensions.Conclusion:The evaluation index system has certain practical guiding significance for the adjustment and improvement of standardized training for resident doctors,but it is also necessary to dynamically adjust the evaluation index system according to the specific situation to effectively reflect the effect of standardized training for resident doctors.
脑机接口(BCI)是脑部与外部设备互联的渠道,其经过发展已经成为了一个较为成熟的技术体系。现阶段BCI已经发展成为了3大模式:侵入式、半侵入式和非侵入式。而根据现阶段不同的测量脑功能技术,形成了基于不同神经影像学技术的各有优缺点的BCI,如:基于脑电图、皮层脑电图、功能性核磁共振或功能性近红外光谱等的BCI,而其中基于脑电图的BCI根据电位类型又可以细分为:基于事件相关电位-P300、运动想象、稳态视觉诱发电位、慢皮层电位的BCI。通过对现有不同BCI范式进行分析介绍,此后又分别探讨了BCI在信号融合、新型信号、采集方式和采集设备的研发与在脑功能改变和新兴技术结合应用等领域未来的发展方向。
