| 1 | Cigarette Smoking Increases Risk for Incident Metabolic Syndrome in Chinese Men—Shanghai Diabetes Study显示文摘Objective To determine whether smoking increases the risk for developing metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Chinese men.Methods A total of 693 men with no MetS at baseline were followed for 2.9‐5.5 years.Subjects were divided into nonsmokers,ex‐smokers,and current smokers according to baseline smoking status.Results After adjusting for age,education level,alcohol intake,fasting plasma insulin,HOMA‐IR index,and BMI at baseline and weight change,current smokers were dose‐dependently associated with increased risk for developing new MetS compared with nonsmokers.The odds ratio (OR) was 2.131 (95% CI,1.264,3.592;P<0.01) for the NCEPIII definition or 3.083 (95% CI,1.807,5.295;P<0.01) for the JCDCG definition of MetS.Ex‐smokers who had quit for ≥13 years significantly decreased the risk for developing new MetS defined by the JCDCG definition.Compared with nonsmokers,current smokers were significantly associated with increased incidence of hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL‐C.Conclusion Smoking is a risk factor for developing MetS in Chinese men after adjusting for age,education level,alcohol intake,fasting plasma insulin,HOMA‐IR,BMI,and weight change.This could be due to an increased incidence of dyslipidemia.Smoking cessation for >13 years decreased the risk for developing MetS defined by the JCDCG definition. | ZHU YunXia ZHANG MingLiang HOU XuHong LU JunXi PENG LiangPu GU HuiLin WANG Chen JIA WeiPing | 2011 | Biomedical and Environmental Sciences2011，24，5： | 13 |
| 2 | A Discrete Numerical Study of the Effect of the Thickness and the Porosity of the Sand Cushion on the Impact Response Due to the Rockfall显示文摘The prevention and the reduction of the rockfall are the common measures of the prevention and the reduction of disasters.When the rock-shed resists the impact of the rockfall,the force that acts on the structure consists of the cushion dead load and the impact-induced load,of which the dynamic process of the propagation of the impactinduced load is complex.Therefore,we conducted a numerical study to investigate the impact of the rockfall.Considering the highly discrete characteristic of the sand,we developed a numerical model on the basis of the discrete element method(DEM).The numerical model,which simulation results were validated by the results of real-scale experiments,was used to investigate the dynamic response of the impact force of the rockfall and the transmission of the impact force under the different magnitude of the falling height and the different thickness of the sand cushion.The results of our study indicated that the cushion thickness had little effect on the impact of the rockfall,and the dense sand cushion generated higher impact force than did the loose sand cushion.Although the high thickness enhanced the buffer performance of the sand cushion,the additional force induced by the dead load of sand cushion was significant.Therefore,to determine the appropriate thickness of the sand cushion,we suggested designers consider the buffer performance and the dead load of the sand cushion.The analysis presented in this paper provided a practical estimation of the impact-induced force of the thick sand cushion. | Song Yuan Peng Zhao Liangpu Li Xibao Wang Jun Liu Bo Zhang | 2022 | Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences2022，，3： | 2 |
