“…However, WC might under- and over-estimate central adiposity in short and tall individuals, respectively [ 10 ]. Therefore, different anthropometric indicators for body fat may play an important role in assessing adiposity and affect the prevalence of obesity [ 11 ]. So far, only few population-based studies have shown the prevalence of overweight and obesity using different adiposity indicators in Asian population [ 12 , 13 ].…”

Objectives: The role of different body fat indicators and age in assessing the prevalence of obesity is unclear. We aimed to examine to what extent different body fat indicators including BMI, waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) affect the prevalence of overweight and obesity among Chinese adults taking age into account. Methods: This population-based cross-sectional study included a random sample of 7,603 adults aged 20-79 years across entire Tianjin, China. BMI, WC, and WHR were used to define overweight and obesity following standard criteria. Prevalence rates were calculated and standardized using local age- and gender-specific census data. Logistic regression was used in data analysis. Results: Using the combination of BMI, WC, and WHR, the prevalence of overweight and obesity was 69.8%, and increased with age till the age of 60 and a decline thereafter. The prevalence of overweight assessed by BMI was higher than that assessed by WC and WHR, while the prevalence of obesity defined by BMI was much lower than that defined by WC or WHR. Conclusion: The prevalence of overweight and obesity is about 70% among Chinese adults. Adiposity indicators and age play an important role in the prevalence of overweight and obesity.

Any damage to mesangial cells, whether direct or indirect, is a key function in the growth of ESRD, resulting in hypertrophy, mesangial enlargement, extracellular matrix buildup, and cell proliferation (Tung et al, 2018). The potential of selectively regulating mesangial cells with a therapeutic drug administered externally is appealing as a novel treatment approach because they are important in the onset and DN progression (Alpers and Hudkins, 2018).…”

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease worldwide. With the rising prevalence of diabetes, the occurrence of DN is likely to hit pandemic proportions. The current treatment strategies employed for DN focus on the management of blood pressure, glycemia, and cholesterol while neglecting DN’s molecular progression mechanism. For many theranostic uses, nano-technological techniques have evolved in biomedical studies. Several nanotechnologically based theranostics have been devised that can be tagged with targeting moieties for both drug administration and/or imaging systems and are being studied to identify various clinical conditions. The molecular mechanisms involved in DN are discussed in this review to assist in understanding its onset and progression pattern. We have also discussed emerging strategies for establishing a nanomedicine-based platform for DN-targeted drug delivery to increase drug’s efficacy and safety, as well as their reported applications.

The First Example of a Poly(arylimidazole) by Polycondensation of AB-type Monomers: Control of Molecular Mass by End-Capping, and Functionalization to Poly(arylimidazolium)s

In this work, the first AB-type primary-chain poly-(arylimidazole) (AB-PAI) homopolymers were synthesized by Debus-Radziszewski polycondensation. Control of the number-average molecular mass (M̅ n ) by ab initio stoichiometry of a monofunctional end-cap provides the first corroborating evidence for this polycondensation proceeding by Carothers' Step-Growth mechanism. Quaternization of imidazole units in AB-PAI yields statistical poly(arylimidazolium) (AB-PAIm) ionenes. Steric protection of the electrophilic imidazolium C2 is encoded in the AB-type monomer.Exceptionally harsh alkaline conditions are required to quantify degradation of the sterically protected AB-PAIm derivative (in 40 wt % NaOD at 80 °C, 20% loss of imidazolium units is observed by NMR after 72 h). All the AB-PAI and the AB-PAIm are thermally stable up to 250 °C in air. The sterically encumbered, polycationic poly(2-[2,6-dimethylphenyl]-1,3-dimethyl-5-phenylimidazolium) hydroxide (IEC (OH) = 2.08 mmol g −1 ) is a transparent red glass that can be solvated by polar organic solvents and is insoluble in water and aqueous alkali metal hydroxides.
