Background: The dose–response association between serum albumin and atrial fibrillation is not well known. This study aims to assess the relationship between albumin and atrial fibrillation and the potential dose–response effect.Methods: Studies reported that the serum albumin and AF were identified by searching the EMBASE, PubMed, and Cochrane Library databases. The potential dose–response effect was performed by using a stage robust error meta-regression.Results: Nine studies were included with a total of 32,130 individuals. Patients with high albumin level were associated with a decreased risk of atrial fibrillation compared with patients with low serum albumin (OR[odds ratio]: 0.62, 95% CI [0.44, 0.89]; I2 = 76%; P = 0.009). In the dose–response analysis, for each 10 g/L increase in serum albumin level, the risk of atrial fibrillation decreased by 36% (95% CI: 0.51–0.81, I2 = 87%, P < 0.001). Furthermore, a significant negative linear relationship between serum albumin and the risk of atrial fibrillation (Pnonlinearity = 0.33) was found.Conclusion: Our dose–response meta-analysis suggests that low serum albumin level is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation. Further studies are needed to explore the effect of induction of elevated serum albumin levels on the prevention of atrial fibrillation.

To understand the visual sensitivity of western flower thrips to 350–450 nm light, we examined thrips selective response effect and the effect of white light on thrips visual response effect. The results showed that the visual selection response to Ultra Violet (UV) light at 360–365 nm, the approach sensitivity to 380–385 nm light with 6000 lx was respectively the best (15.59, 7.26%), while under light energy, both of them to 360–365 nm light with 60 mW/cm2 were the best (20.04, 11.13%). Under contrast white light, the most sensitive UV spectra of thrips respectively caused by illumination, light energy was 380–385, 360–365 nm, and white light enhanced thrips visual response effect to UV light, which further increased by the increasing intensity, showing that under illumination, the visual response effect to 380–385 nm light with 6000 lx was the best (51.21,69.78%), while that to 360–365 nm light with 60 mW/cm2 were the best (43.98, 65.68%), originated from the different intensity spread by light energy and illumination. These results indicate that the change of photo-stimulus intensity property can regulated thrips visual sensitivity to enhance the phototactic effect.

Whole body vibration plays a central role in many work categories and can represent a health risk to the musculoskeletal system and peripheral nervous system. However, studies in animal and human models have shown that vibratory training, experimentally and/or therapeutically induced, can exert beneficial effects on the whole body, as well as improve brain functioning and reduce cognitive decline related to the aging process. Since the effects of vibratory training depend on several factors, such as vibration frequency and vibration exposure time, in this work, we investigated whether the application of three different vibratory protocols could modulate synaptic and muscle plasticity in a middle-aged murine model, counteracting the onset of early symptoms linked to the aging process. To this end, we performed in vitro electrophysiological recordings of the field potential in the CA1 region of mouse hippocampal slices, as well as histomorphometric and ultrastructural analysis of muscle tissue by optic and transmission electron microscopy, respectively. Our results showed that protocols characterized by a low vibration frequency and/or a longer recovery time exert positive effects at both hippocampal and muscular level, and that these effects improve significantly by varying both parameters, with an action comparable with a dose–response effect. Thus, we suggested that vibratory training may be an effective strategy to counteract cognitive impairment, which is already present in the early stages of the aging process, and the onset of sarcopenia, which is closely related to a sedentary lifestyle. Future studies are needed to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms and to determine an optimal vibratory training protocol.

Effective enterprise quality immune response can grasp the “pathogenesis”, “clinical manifestations” and “treatment” of enterprise quality dissident factors, which is the goal pursued continuously by enterprise quality management. Drawing on the theory of enterprise immunity, construct the evaluation index system of enterprise quality immune response effect, and use the evaluation model of interval binary semantic grey target decision based on two-dimensional association sampling (EMIBSGTD-TAS) to evaluate the quality immune response effect of the selected target company. The boundary and internal distribution situation weaken the influence of the extreme value of the index on the decision result, and introduce the interval binary semantic set value statistical method to determine the index weight, reduce the information loss and fuzzy error. It can be seen from the evaluation results that the model has practicability and feasibility, and provides a new idea for the evaluation of the effect of enterprise quality immune response.
