Acculturation is associated with increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk-factors among immigrants in Western countries. Little known about acculturation effects on CVD risks Chinese immigrants, one the fastest growing populations In this study, we aim to examine association between and Australia’s third-largest foreign-born group. We accessed a subsample (n = 3220) within 45-and-Up Study (2006–2009). Poisson regression model robust error variance examined risk-factors,...
Background. Glioma is a common tumor that originated from the brain, and molecular targeted therapy one of important treatment modalities glioma. Apatinib small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor, which widely used for However, underlying mechanism has remained elusive. Recently, emerging evidence proved remarkable anticancer effects ferroptosis. In this study, new ferroptosis-related apatinib inhibiting proliferation glioma cells was investigated, facilitated further study on inhibitory...
To report the cross-sectional prevalence and 18-year trends in overweight, obesity abdominal among Australian children from culturally linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds. Four population health surveys conducted (age 4-16 years; n=26, 449) 1997-2004-2010-2015 New South Wales, (NSW) Australia. Adiposity outcomes were measured by trained field staff using standard procedures. Binomial regression models with a robust error variance used to estimate ratio (PR) 95% confidence intervals...
Introduction: Health disparities among immigrants exist across socioecological domains. While Chinese face increased risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) after migration, the reasons are not well understood. Method: This descriptive qualitative study collected 18 semistructured interviews with CHD and family carers from two Australian hospitals. Analysis was guided by social-ecological model. Results: Poor knowledge limited English proficiency difficulty navigating health care...
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play an important role in cancer development by sponging microRNAs (miRNAs) to regulate the signaling axis. However, more comprehensive mechanisms of circRNAs glioblastoma need be elucidated. RT-qPCR was used detect expression levels circRNA-SMO and miR-326. Dual-luciferase reporter assays were conducted verify interaction among circRNA-SMO, miR-326, CEP85. Flow cytometric analysis performed apoptosis. Western blotting determine protein different molecules. Animal...
Abstract Background Patients with central nervous system (CNS) tumors may be at risk of dying from cardiovascular disease (CVD). We examined CVD mortality in patients different histological subtypes CNS tumors. Methods analyzed UK(Wales)-based Secure Anonymized Information Linkage (SAIL) for 8743 diagnosed 2000–2015, and US-based National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) 163,183 2005–2015. calculated age-, sex-, calendar-year-adjusted standardized ratios...
Glioma is one of the most common primary brain tumors, and divided into low-grade high-grade gliomas. Long non-coding RNAs have been increasingly implicated in pathogenesis prognosis glioma. Here, we demonstrated that long RNA TP73-AS1 differentially expressed among gliomas with different clinicopathological features The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Chinese (CGGA), GEO glioma datasets; high expression was associated poor clinical features, including age, stage, IDH mutation status, 1p/19q...
Increasing incidence of central nervous system (CNS) tumors has been noted in some populations. However, the influence changing surgical and imaging practices not consistently accounted for.
Background: This study examined the safety and efficacy of different anticoagulation regimens in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) after left appendage occlusion (LAAC) using Watchman closure device. Methods: AF who underwent LAAC device Department Cardiology, Jiangsu Taizhou People's Hospital between March 2018 November 2019 were retrospectively enrolled this study. Patients divided into two groups according to postoperative anticoagulant regimens. One group was treated therapy alone...
Chinese immigrants are at an increased risk for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) compared with nationals partly because of lifestyle changes and knowledge deficits. Translated patient resources available on the Internet often provided by health professionals; however, quality cultural sensitivity these have not been reported.The aim this study was to assess availability, quality, Chinese-language information from national "Heart Foundations" (cardiac research bodies, nongovernmental...
Abstract Understanding the trends in causes of death for different diseases during current COVID-19 pandemic is important to determine whether there are excess deaths beyond what normally expected. Using most recent report from National Records Scotland (NRS) on 29 April 2020, we examined percentage difference crude numbers 2020 compared average 2015-2019 by week within calendar year. To if were similar, suggesting underreporting/underdiagnosed related deaths, also looked at % differences...
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a malignant tumor. The long-term prognosis of the patients poor. Therefore, it important clinical value to further explore pathogenesis and look for molecular markers early diagnosis targeted treatment. Two expression profiling datasets [GSE50161 (GPL570 platform), GSE116520 (GPL10558 platform)] were respectively downloaded from gene omnibus database. Volcano diagrams show Differently expressed genes (DEGs) GSE50161 GSE116520. A Venn diagram revealed 467 common DEGs...
Abstract Background Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) has been considered an alternative treatment to prevent embolic stroke in patients with nonvalvular fibrillation (NVAF). However, it carries a risk of general anesthesia or esophageal injury if guided by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Aims We aimed investigate the feasibility and safety minimal LAAO (MLAAO) using Watchman under fluoroscopy guidance alone NVAF. Methods A total 249 consecutive NVAF who underwent WATCHMAN...
