Abstract
PURPOSE Obesity and a high body mass index (BMI) are considered as risk factors for abdominal wall hernia (AWH). However, anthropometric measures of body fat distribution (BFD) seem to be better indicators in the hernia field. This Mendelian randomization analysis aimed to generate more robust evidence for the impact of waist circumstance (WC), body, trunk, arm, and leg fat percentages (BFP, TFP, AFP, LFP) on AWH. METHODS A univariable MR design was employed and the summary statistics allowing for assessment were obtained from the genome-wide association studies (GWASs). An inverse variance weighted (IVW) method was applied as the primary analysis, and the odds ratio value was used to evaluate the causal relationship between BFD and AWH. RESULTS None of the MR-Egger regression intercepts deviated from null, indicating no evidence of horizontal pleiotropy (p > 0.05). The Cochran Q test showed heterogeneity between the genetic IVs for WC (p = 0.005; p = 0.005), TFP (p < 0.001; p < 0.001), AFP-L (p = 0.016; p = 0.015), LFP-R (p = 0.012; p = 0.009), and LFP-L (p < 0.001; p < 0.001). Taking the IVW random-effects model as gold standard, each standard deviation increment in genetically determined WC, BFP, TFP, AFP-R, AFP-L, LFP-R, and LFP-L raised the risk of AWH by 70.9%, 70.7%, 56.5%, 69.7%, 78.3%, 87.7%, and 72.5%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This study proves the causal relationship between AWH and BFD, attracting more attention from BMI to BFD. It provides evidence-based medical evidence that healthy figure management can prevent AWH.

Abstract
PURPOSE Incisional hernia (IH) is a common secondary ventral hernia after abdominal incisions and there is still little reliable evidence to predict and prevent IH. This study aimed to estimate risk factors of its incidence, especially concentrating on blood results. METHODS 96 patients received midline laparotomy for gastrointestinal benign diseases and suffered from IH were enrolled in the IH group. A control group of 192 patients were randomly selected from patients underwent midline laparotomy for gastrointestinal benign diseases without IH. RESULTS Patients in the IH group exhibited higher age (P < 0.001), BMI (P < 0.001), hernia history (P = 0.001) and laparotomy history (P < 0.001). Rate of coronary heart disease (P = 0.046), hypertension (P < 0.001), diabetes (P = 0.008), incisional infection (P = 0.004) and emergency surgery (P = 0.041) were also higher in the IH group. Patients with IH had lower levels of Hb (P = 0.002), TP (P = 0.013), ALB (P < 0.001), A/G (P = 0.019), PA (P < 0.001), HDL-C (P = 0.008) and ApoA1 (P = 0.005). Meanwhile, patients in the control group bore lower levels of LDH (P = 0.008), GLU (P = 0.007), BUN (P = 0.048), UA (P = 0.021), TG (P = 0.011), TG/HDL-C (P = 0.002), TC/HDL-C (P = 0.013), ApoB/ApoA1 (P = 0.001) and Lp(a) (P = 0.001). A multivariate logistic regression revealed that high BMI, laparotomy history, incisional infection, decreased PA, elevated levels of UA, Lp(a) and ApoB/ApoA1 were independent risk factors of IH. CONCLUSION This is the first study to reveal the relationship between IH and serum biochemical levels, and give a prediction through the nomograph model. These results will help surgeons identify high-risk patients, and take measures to prevent IH during the perioperative period.

Abstract
Innovative measures of nitrogen (N) fertilization to increase season-long N availability is essential for gaining the optimal foxtail millet (Setaria italica L. Beauv.) productivity and N use efficiency. A split plot field experiment was conducted using the foxtail millet variety Huayougu 9 in 2020 and 2021 in Northeast China to clarify the physiological mechanism of a novel polyaspartic acid-chitosan (PAC)-coated urea on N assimilation and utilization from foxtail millet. Conventional N fertilizer (CN) and the urea-coated -PAC treatments were tested under six nitrogen fertilizer application levels of 0, 75, 112.5, 150, 225, and 337.5 kg N ha-1. The results showed that compared to CN, PN increased the foxtail millet yield by 5.53-15.75% and 10.43-16.17% in 2020 and 2021, respectively. PN increased the leaf area index and dry matter accumulation by 7.81-18.15% and 12.91-41.92%, respectively. PN also enhanced the activities of nitrate reductase, glutamine synthetase, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase, thereby increasing the soluble protein in the leaf, plant, and grain N content at harvest compared to CN. Consequently, partial factor productivity from applied N, the agronomic efficiency of applied N, recovery efficiency of applied N, and physiological efficiency of applied N of foxtail millet under PN treatments compared to CN were increased. The improvement effect of the items above was more noticeable under the low-middle N application levels (75, 112.5, and 150 kg N ha-1). In conclusion, the PAC could achieve the goal of high yield and high N use efficiency in foxtail millet under the background of a one-time basic fertilizer application.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The transitional period from hospital to home is vital for stroke patients, but it poses serious challenges. Good self-management ability can optimize disease outcomes. However, stroke patients in China have a low level of self-management ability during the transitional period, and a lack of effective support may be the reason. With the rapid development of technology, using wearable monitors to achieve real-time and individualized support may be the key to solving this problem. This study uses a randomized controlled trial design to assess the efficacy of using wearable technology to realize real-time and individualized self-management support in stroke patients' self-management behavior during the transitional period following discharge from hospital. METHODS This parallel-group randomized controlled trial will be conducted in two hospitals and patients' homes. A total of 183 adult stroke patients will be enrolled in the study and randomly assigned to three groups in a 1:1:1 ratio. The smartwatch intervention group (n = 61) will receive Real-time and Individualized Self-management Support (RISS) program + routine care, the wristband group (n = 61) will wear a fitness tracker (self-monitoring) + routine care, and the control group (n = 61) will receive routine stroke care. The intervention will last for 6 months. The primary outcomes are neurological function status, self-management behavior, quality of life, biochemical indicators, recurrence rate, and unplanned readmission rate. Secondary outcomes are resilience, patient activation, psychological status, and caregiver assessments. The analysis is intention-to-treat. The intervention effect will be evaluated at baseline (T0), 2 months after discharge (T1), 3 months after discharge (T2), and 6 months after discharge (T3). DISCUSSION The cloud platform designed in this study not only has the function of real-time recording but also can push timely solutions when patients have abnormal conditions, as well as early warnings or alarms. This study could also potentially help patients develop good self-management habits through resilience theory, wearable devices, and individualized problem-solution library of self-management which can lay the foundation for long-term maintenance and continuous improvement of good self-management behavior in the future. TRIAL REGISTRATION The ethics approval has been granted by the Ethics Committee of West China Hospital, Sichuan University (2022-941). All patients will be informed of the study details and sign a written informed consent form before enrollment. The research results will be reported in conferences and peer-reviewed publications. The trial registration number is ChiCTR2300070384 . Registered on 11 April 2023.
