Healthy people were collected as controls from Weishi County, Kaifeng city, Henan Province, China. The plasma from three groups were labeled with ITRAQ, LC/MC was used for protein quantitative analysis. Finally, sequence search and cluster analysis were performed. \u0000Results: Overall, 27 different proteins were found. Three proteins were up-regulated and 2 proteins down-regulated in the QD group, 11 proteins up-regulated and 13 proteins down-regulated in the DH group. Compared with DH group, there were 7 different proteins in QD group, among which 5 proteins were down-regulated and 2 proteins were up-regulated. When the target protein of DH group was up-regulated, the protein of HC group was down-regulated correspondingly. \u0000Conclusion: The significance analysis and clustering of protein results showed that DH group was significantly different from QD group and HC group at the protein level (P<0.05). However, the QD group could not be effectively distinguished from the HC group. AAT, PF4, C-reactive protein and c4bp may be used as potential biomarkers in DH group.

The odds ratio (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) were adopted for the pooled measurements. Sub-group analyses were conducted through stratified meta-analyses based on study design, depression indicator, adjustment for physical activity, sedentary behavior indicator, and type. Sensitivity analyses were performed to test the robustness of the results, and publication bias was assessed through a funnel plot. \u0000Results: Seven cross-sectional studies and five cohort studies were included in our meta-analysis.

Herein, we aimed to describe a family with genetic nose problems. After counselling and drawing pedigree in Farhud's Genetic Clinic, Tehran, Iran in 2021, DNA extraction of a proband and a few members of his family (patient and control) was conducted. Whole exome sequencing was utilized for detecting the gene and its variant in the proband with a nose deformity. The results were confirmed with Sanger sequencing. This variant was checked in other members by Sanger sequencing. Analysis of the Exome data showed a heterozygous splicing variant in the CDON gene (NM_016952; c.3276+1G>T) in the proband who had a nose deformity and then the results were confirmed with Sanger sequencing. Such a variant was observed in Proband's brother with a nose deformity and was not observed in Proband's cousin with no abnormal phenotype.

Adolescents mainly watch Mukbang and Cookbang shows through media platforms such as YouTube and Instagram. \u0000Methods: We examined data on 51,743 Korean adolescents who participated in the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey in 2022. Data were evaluated using frequency, chi-square, and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Specifically, the relationship between watching Mukbang and Cookbang broadcasts and physical activity participation, subjective body image, and perceived stress was evaluated through a multivariate logistic regression analysis after adjusting for covariates such as sex, age, school type, and residential area. \u0000Results: The results showed that among Korean adolescents, watching Mukbang and Cookbang broadcasts was significantly related to the negative effects of feeling fatter and more stressed and the positive effect of greater participation in physical activities (possibly to combat feeling fat) (P<0.05). In other words, this study confirms that watching Mukbang and Cookbang broadcasts has the simultaneous effect of increased physical activity participation in conjunction with negative subjective body images. Moreover, it increased perceived stress in adolescents. \u0000Conclusion: Adolescents must be better educated about Mukbang and Cookbang broadcasts and their negative impact on subjective body image and perceived stress (as well as their positive impact on physical activity). Such education can help prevent these shows from creating negative teenage habits that can continue into adulthood.
