OH eating added a number of desirable foods and nutrients but was also associated with higher consumption of energy from fat and sugar products. Independent of household wealth and locality, pocket money and sex are important determinants of OH eating.
SummaryWe investigated whether pre-germinated brown rice bran extract containing acylated steryl glucosides (PSG) reduces the risk of atherosclerosis in post-menopausal Vietnamese women. A total of 60 post-menopausal Vietnamese women (45-65 y old) with high LDL cholesterol levels (over 140 mg/dL) were randomly divided into PSG (n530) and placebo (n530) groups. The subjects in the PSG group were assigned a daily intake of 6 capsules containing 50 mg PSG, and the subjects in the placebo group were assigned a daily intake of 6 capsules containing corn oil for 6 mo. Before baseline and after month 2, month 4, and month 6 of the intervention, we conducted anthropometric measurements, blood biochemical examinations, a nutrition survey, and physical activity, flow-mediated dilation (FMD), and cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) measurements. Serum LDL cholesterol concentrations were significantly reduced from 163.6625.3 (mg/dL) to 135.9626.8 (mg/dL) compared to the placebo group (p,0.001). FMD values of the placebo group were significantly reduced from 6.665.1 (%) to 4.762.6 (%) compared to the PSG group (p,0.05). Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a concentrations in the PSG group were significantly reduced from 19.8611 (pg/mL) to 10.665.5 (pg/mL) compared to the placebo group (p,0.05). The findings suggest that PSG may improve LDL cholesterol, TNF-a levels, and FMD values. PSG might be considered in reducing the risk of atherosclerosis in post-menopausal Vietnamese women with high LDL cholesterol.
Self-study is widely regarded as the most effective method of determining a student's learningeffectiveness at the university level. The success or failure of the learning process is highlydependent on the learners' senses, with an awareness of the role and importance of self-studyplaying a minor role. Students benefit from self-study not only in terms of mastering knowledge,skills, and techniques, and developing the appropriate career attitude, but also in terms ofdeveloping their personality, forming habits, and self-study awareness for life. In the currentcontext, with the COVD-19 pandemic still very complicated, the majority of schools have alreadyconverted their teaching models to online or other forms of instruction. This change has asignificant impact on both teachers' teaching quality and students' self-study. This article willanalyze several factors affecting students' self-study capacity, as well as the current state of selfstudy capacity among Binh Duong university students, with the goal of proposing some solutionsfor capacity improvement. Learners' self-learning capacity adapted to the Covid-19 pandemic
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
