The relationship between physical activity in early pregnancy and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy: a cohort study in Chinese women

BACKGROUND:We aimed to examine prospective associations between diff erent intensities and diff erent types of physical activity(PA)in early pregnancy and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy(HDP)among Chinese women.METHODS:A total of 6,820 pregnant women from the Tongji-Shuangliu Birth Cohort were included in this study.The pregnancy physical activity questionnaire(PPAQ)was used to assess PA,including household/caregiving,occupational,sports/exercise,and transportation activities in the first trimester of pregnancy.The diagnosis of HDP was collected,including gestational hypertension(GH)and preeclampsia(PE).Data were analyzed by unconditional multivariate logistic regression,and the odds ratio(OR)and 95%confi dence interval(CI)were calculated.RESULTS:A total of 178(2.6%)of the 6,820 women were diagnosed with HDP,of which 126(1.8%)were GH and 52(0.8%)were PE.Overall,we found no association between PA in early pregnancy and PE.A trend toward lower risk was found only among women with GH and among those with higher levels of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity(MVPA)(adjusted OR 0.54,95%CI 0.31–0.96).No association was observed between PA and HDP in early pregnancy,regardless of diff erent intensities or types of PA.CONCLUSION:MVPA in the first trimester is an influencing factor of HDP.Encouraging pregnant women to engage in MVPA in the fi rst trimester may help to prevent GH.

Global research trends in cardiac arrest research:a visual analysis of the literature based on CiteSpace

BACKGROUND:The high morbidity,high mortality and low survival rate of cardiac arrest(CA)cause a heavy global burden.We aimed to analyze the changes in scientific output related to CA over the past two decades.METHODS:We analyzed the scientific output related to CA from 2000 to 2020 via the Web of Science.The data were analyzed using CiteSpace software.RESULTS:In total,28,312 articles relating to CA were identified in the Web of Science.The volume of scientific research output in the field of global CA research was mainly distributed in the Americas,Europe and Asia,covering a wide range.Of the 28,312 articles,the research content of the highly cited literature mainly focused on CA,mild hypothermia treatment,and prognosis of CA patients.CONCLUSION:Various scientific methods were applied to reveal scientific productivity,collaboration,and research hotspots in the CA research field.Cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR),extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO),survival and target temperature management are research hotspots.Future research on CA will continue to focus on its treatment and prognosis to improve the survival rate of CA patients.

Tailoring of electromagnetic field localizations by twodimensional graphene nanostructures

Graphene has great potential for enhancing light−matter interactions in a two-dimensional regime due to surface plasmons with low loss and strong light confinement.Further utilization of graphene in nanophotonics relies on the precise control of light localization properties.Here,we demonstrate the tailoring of electromagnetic field localizations in the mid-infrared region by precisely shaping the graphene into nanostructures with different geometries.We generalize the phenomenological cavity model and employ nanoimaging techniques to quantitatively calculate and experimentally visualize the two-dimensional electromagnetic field distributions within the nanostructures,which indicate that the electromagnetic field can be shaped into specific patterns depending on the shapes and sizes of the nanostructures.Furthermore,we show that the light localization performance can be further improved by reducing the sizes of the nanostructures,where a lateral confinement of λ0/180 of the incidence light can be achieved.The electromagnetic field localizations within a nanostructure with a specific geometry can also be modulated by chemical doping.Our strategies can,in principle,be generalized to other two-dimensional materials,therefore providing new degrees of freedom for designing nanophotonic components capable of tailoring two-dimensional light confinement over a broad wavelength range.
