BACKGROUND:We assessed the utility of systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII) in estimating in-hospital and long-term prognosis elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who received percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). MATERIAL AND METHODS:Our study evaluated 711 consecutive (age 65–85 years) from January 2015 to December 2017. The correlation between clinical outcomes SII was analyzed through stepwise Cox regression analysis Kaplan-Meier approach. endpoints were...
The importance of the lipid-related biomarkers has been implicated in pathological process and prognosis acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Our work was conducted to discuss compare predictive ability neutrophil high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (NHR) with other existing prognostic indices, for instance, monocyte HDL-C (MHR) low-density (LDL-C) (LDL-C/HDL-C) elderly patients AMI.Our population 528 consecutive AMI (65-85 years) who were enrolled from Tongji Hospital grouped...
Two new species of Rhabdocoela, namely Alcha sinensis n. sp. (Polycystididae) and Trigonostomum (Trigonostomidae), were discovered from the intertidal zone eastern Shenzhen City, China. For A. sp., stylet consists two symmetrical triangular plates one lamellar plate. All three are jagged at their posterior ends. The anterior end connects to a thick muscular layer, which causes its movement. T. copulatory organ long-tubular "T"-shaped (plate I plate II). bends 120° 25% length base extends...
Repeat kidney transplantation (re-KT) is the preferred treatment for patients with graft failure. Changing allocation policies, widening risk profile of recipients, and improving dialysis care may have altered survival benefit a re-KT. We characterized trends in re-KT over 3 decades tested whether it differed by age, race/ethnicity, sex, panel reactive assay (PRA). By using Scientific Registry Transplant Recipient data, we identified 25 419 who underwent from 1990 to 2019 waitlisted...
Background. Kidney transplant (KT) recipients have numerous risk factors for delirium, including those shared with the general surgical population (eg, age and major surgery) transplant-specific neurotoxic immunosuppression medications). Evidence has linked delirium to long-term dementia in older adults undergoing surgery. We sought characterize associated post-KT delirium. Methods. Using United States Renal Data System datasets, we identified 35 800 adult first-time KT ≥55 y. evaluated...
Background. Evidence suggests that older patients are less frequently placed on the waiting list for kidney transplantation (KT) than their younger counterparts. The trends and magnitude of this age disparity in access to first KT repeat (re-KT) remain unclear. Methods. Using US Renal Data System, we identified 2 496 743 adult transplant-naive dialysis 110 338 recipients with graft failure between 1995 2018. We characterized secular disparities used Cox proportional hazard models compare...
Abstract Background Recent clinical trials demonstrate benefits of sodium‐glucose cotransporter‐2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in patients with chronic kidney disease, but data on use transplant (KTx) recipients are limited. Methods We examined a novel database linking SRTR registry for KTx (2000–2021) outpatient fill records from large pharmaceutical claims warehouse (2015–2021). Adult (≥18 years) treated SGLT2i were compared to those who received other noninsulin diabetes medications without...
Growth differentiation factor 11 (GDF11) is an important circulating that regulates aging. However, the role of GDF11 in bone metabolism remains unclear. The present study was undertaken to investigate relationship between serum level, mass, and turnover markers postmenopausal Chinese women. Serum biochemical markers, mineral density (BMD) were determined 169 women (47-78 years old). levels increased with There negative correlations BMD at various skeletal sites. After adjusting for age body...
This study aims to develop a new model more comprehensively and accurately predict the survival of patients with HCC after initial TACE.The whole cohort (n = 102) was randomly divided into training validation in ratio 8:2. The optimal radiomics signatures were screened using least absolute shrinkage selection operator algorithm (LASSO) regression for constructing radscore overall (OS). C-index (95% confidence interval, CI), calibration curve, decision curve analysis (DCA) used evaluate...
Photocatalytic hydrogen (H2) production by water splitting provides an alternative to fossil fuels using clean and renewable energy, which gives important requirements about the efficiency of photocatalysts, co-catalysts, sacrificial agents. To achieve higher H2 efficiencies from splitting, study uses different metals such as yttrium (Y), praseodymium (Pr), magnesium (Mg), Indium (In), calcium (Ca), europium (Eu), terbium (Tb) doped lanthanum iron oxide (LaFeO3) perovskites. They were...
Background: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a malignant pulmonary vascular disease that negatively impacts quality of life, exercise capacity, and mortality. This study sought to investigate the relationship between serum uric acid (UA) level severity treatment response patients with PAH congenital heart (PAH-CHD). Methods: included 225 CHD 40 healthy subjects. Serum UA was measured in all patients, levels haemodynamic parameters were re-evaluated 20 who had received PAH-specific...
Craniopharyngioma (CP) with tumoral hemorrhage is a very rare syndrome presenting various manifestation and unfavorable outcomes. The current retrospective study was performed to summarize the clinical features of CP hemorrhage.In this study, 185 patients pathological diagnosis (18 hemorrhage) were enrolled. Clinical characteristics, radiological surgical treatments, post-operative complications analyzed. In addition, correlations between sexual hormones tumor volume explored.Drowsiness,...
Background Gabapentinoids, commonly used for treating neuropathic pain, may be misused and coprescribed with opioid benzodiazepine, increasing the risk of mortality dependency among kidney transplant recipients. Methods We identified adult recipients who enrolled in Medicare Part D 2006–2017 using United States Renal Data System/Medicare claims database. characterized recipients' post-transplant concomitant prescription gabapentinoids, opioids, benzodiazepine stratified by year recipient...
Lipid homeostasis is dysregulated in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). A decrease serum high- and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C LDL-C) significantly associated with the worse prognosis of PAH. However, no study has investigated differential distribution lipids various PAH subtypes. We enrolled 190 patients this retrospective study, which includes 20 congenital heart disease without (CHD-nonPAH), 101 (CHD-PAH), 69 idiopathic (IPAH) 81 healthy controls. Laboratory parameters...
Cerebral sparganosis is clinically non-specific and easily misdiagnosed, exposing patients to the risk of severe brain damage neurological dysfunction caused by actively migrating larvae. Diagnostic biomarkers from typical cases can help establish an early diagnosis proper treatment. We present a 25-year-old woman who suffered 9 years refractory epilepsy was misdiagnosed with glioma subjected surgery. The postoperative pathology confirmed granuloma, tumor-like foci reappeared 3 months later....
In this study, we developed a sustained-release transdermal delivery system containing losartan potassium (LP) and verapamil hydrochloride (VPH). LP VPH have low bioavailability long half-life. Therefore, the development of an optimum administration mode is necessary to overcome these drawbacks enhance antihypertensive effect. A diffusion meter was used determine optimal formulation LP-VPH drug systems (TDDS). Based on in vitro results, patch prepared. Physical characteristics, including...
