Background. Cholesterol levels in total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), and triglyceride (TG) contribute to atherosclerosis and its clinical consequences. Objectives. This study aimed to examine the trends in serum TC/HDL and LDL/HDL ratio across the age span. Methods. This is an observational study. Blood lipid measurements, taken from 85,646 noninstitutionalized participants, aged 6 to 80, were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) study. We compared the TC/HDL and LDL/HDL ratio trends in three distinct cross-sectional surveys during 2007-2010, 2011-2014, and 2015- 2018. Results. Cholesterol ratios changed by age and differed by sex. Mean TC/HDL ratios declined from 4.03 (95% CI, 4.01-4.05) in 2007-2010, to 3.84 (95% CI, 3.81-3.87) in 2015-2018 (p<.05 for linear trend) in male; mean TC/HDL ratios declined from 3.69 (95% CI, 3.67-3.70) in 2007- 2010, to 3.45 (95% CI, 3.42-3.47) in 2015-2018 (p<.05 for linear trend) in female. Mean LDL/HDL ratios declined from 2.30 (95% CI, 2.28-2.32) in 2007-2010, to 2.18 (95% CI, 2.15- 2.20) in 2015-2018 (p<.05 for linear trend) in male; mean LDL/HDL ratios declined from 2.04 (95% CI, 2.02-2.06) in 2007-2010, to 1.96 (95% CI, 1.94-1.98) in 2015-2018 (p<.001 for linear trend) in female. Conclusions. Between 2007 and 2018, favorable trends in lipid ratio levels were observed among noninstitutionalized residents in the US.

Complementary and alternative medicine treatments are in progress of applications on different mental and psychiatric related problems, include sleep problem, anxiety and depression. Most patients with mental health problems are using both conventional and alternative therapies. As a kind of complementary and alternative medical treatment, devices of photoluminescent of BIOCERAMIC and BIOCERAMIC resonance are based on BIOCERAMIC material, which was begun from in vitro cell study, and then go through different animal and human trials. Herein, a review is to conclude our previous studies on therapeutic effect of BIOCERAMIC related technology on mental and psychiatric related disorders.
