001), a QRS duration of ≥110 ms (P < 0.001), ST segment depression (P < 0.001), abnormal Q/QS wave (P = 0.034), premature ventricular complexes (PVCs; P = 0.051), and presence of any ECG abnormality [hazard ratio (HR) 4.58; 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.40-8.76; P < 0.001]. At multivariable analysis, QRS duration (P = 0.002), QRS duration ≥110 ms (P = 0.03), LBBB (P = 0.014) and presence of any ECG abnormality (P = 0.04) maintained a significant independent association with mortality. Our data show that standard ECG can be helpful for an initial risk stratification of patients admitted for SARS-CoV-2 infectious disease.

Animal studies have shown that soy protein and isoflavones can increase antioxidant capacity and improve insulin resistance, and thus ameliorate nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, only limited epidemiological studies have examined the association of soy food intake with NAFLD. We investigated the association between soy food intake and NAFLD in a Chinese cohort. A total of 24,622 participants aged 20-90 y were included in the study. Diet information was collected using a validated 100-item FFQ. NAFLD was defined as having fatty liver diagnosed by ultrasonography and excluding men and women who consumed>210g alcohol/wk and>140g/wk, respectively. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association of soy food intake with NAFLD. After adjustment for potential confounders, and taking those with<1time/wk soy food intake as the reference group, the ORs for NAFLD across soy food intake frequency were 0.94 (95% CI 0.83, 1.07) for 1 time/wk, 0.88 (95% CI 0.78, 0.99) for 2-3 times/wk, and 0.75 (95% CI 0.65, 0.87) for≥4 times/wk (P-trend<0.0001). The results were similar when participants were categorized by the energy-adjusted soy food intake (grams per 1000kilocalories) quartiles (OR=0.80; 95% CI 0.71, 0.91; comparing extreme quartiles). Higher soy food intake was associated with a lower prevalence of NAFLD in Chinese adults. E6446 supplier Further prospective studies and randomized clinical trials are necessary to confirm if soy food intake is inversely related to the risk of NAFLD.

In recent years, lactose-free infant formulas have been increasingly used. Digestible maltodextrins are commonly used as a substitute for lactose in these formulas, but the effects on energy metabolism are unknown. We aimed to evaluate the differences in energy metabolism and substrate oxidation in piglets fed milk replacers containing lactose compared with maltodextrin as the only source of carbohydrates. Piglets (Tempo×Topigs 20) from 8 litters were fed milk replacers containing lactose or maltodextrin (28% w/w, milk powder basis) from 1 to 9 wk of age (n=4 litters/milk replacer). At 5 wk of age, 4 females and 4 entire males (mean ± SEM bodyweight, 10± 0.3kg) were selected per litter, and housed in 16 groups of 4 littermates, with 2 females and 2 males per pen (n=8 groups/milk replacer). Between 7 and 9 wk of age, groups were housed for 72h in climate respiration chambers, and fed their experimental milk replacer in 2 meals per day, at 0830 and 1630. Heat production data were calculated from the contitprandial substrate oxidation profiles in pigs. Further research is warranted to evaluate the consequences of these metabolic changes for body composition.Brassinosteroids (BRs) are steroid hormones that play key roles in plant development and defense. Our goal is to harness the extensive knowledge of the Arabidopsis B
