However, these changes were markedly less than those of the T-S group after 4 weeks of EA treatment (    0.05). Moreover, the serum concentration of BGP in the TRE group was also significantly higher than that of the T-S group (    0.05). These findings indicate that EA stimulation at BL20, BL23, and SP6 retards osteoporosis induced by hind limb unloading in rats.

This study explores the predictors and prevalence of PPD among Taiwanese women. A total of 914 postpartum women was recruited from a mother-child-friendly hospital. These participants completed self-report questionnaires at 1 month postpartum, and their medical records were also examined for relevant information. Multivariate analyses were used to identify independent predictors of PPD. At 1 month postpartum, 18.8% had developed PPD. Multivariate analysis showed that the odds ratios for PPD were significantly lower among women who were breastfeeding, had more family support, and attended a postpartum care center, while those who were younger, primiparous, and who experienced gestational complications had a higher prevalence of PPD. Meanwhile, structural equation modeling showed that family support from partners, parents, and parents-in-law diminished depression scores through direct effects.Obesity in children appears to be associated with increased risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases later in life. Early development of insulin resistance (IR) may lead to endothelial dysfunction and increased carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) even in
