Among them, 50 morbidly patients submitted surgery.The group had a higher level...

Human immunodeficiency virus type one (HIV-1) is the leading cause of acquired syndrome (AIDS). AIDS remains a global public health concern but can be effectively suppressed by life-long administration combination antiretroviral therapy. Early detection and diagnosis are two key strategies for prevention control HIV/AIDS. Rapid accurate point-of-care testing (POCT) provides critical tools managing HIV-1 epidemic in high-risk areas populations.In this study, POCT RNA was developed...

Background: Hyperglycaemia is thought to be connected worse functional outcomes after ischaemic stroke. However, the association between hyperglycaemia and acute kidney injury (AKI) endovascular treatment (EVT) remains elusive. The purpose of this study was investigate influence glycaemic on AKI EVT. Methods: We retrospectively collected clinical information patients who underwent EVT from April 2015 August 2021. Blood glucose recorded as glycaemia. Chronic levels were estimated by...

Few clinical studies have assessed Rho kinase (ROCK) in patients with dia-betes mellitus (DM) and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This study aimed to determine whether ROCK activity circulating leukocytes is increased STEMI DM predicts the onset of cardiovascular events.Blood samples were collected from 60 patients, divided into non-diabetes (NDM) groups. Main outcome measures all-cause mortality, readmission for acute coronary syndrome (ACS), congestive heart failure...

Few studies have yet investigated the possible association between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and kidney function in elderly patients with primary hypertension. Accordingly, aim of present study was to evaluate relationship HDL-C A total 14,644 hypertensive subjects were enrolled our cross-sectional study. The categorized based on serum level glomerular filtration rate (GFR) value, respectively. One-way analysis variance used compare parameters among different groups....

Background: Bariatric surgery has a significant effect on weight loss and improves adipose tissue insulin resistance (adipose-IR); however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate of growth hormone (GH) adipose-IR improvement after bariatric in patients with obesity. Methods: A prospective cohort 1-year follow-up was conducted China-Japan Friendship Hospital. Pre- postoperative variables, including body mass index (BMI), glucose lipid metabolic indicators,...

Objective: Higher fasting glucose is thought to be associated with adverse outcome in patients receiving endovascular treatment (EVT), while the effect of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) on controversial. We combined blood (FBG) HbA1c and evaluated their relationship three-month functional who underwent EVT. Methods: Data from 739 consecutive ischemic stroke EVT April 2015 August 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. was used estimate chronic level according following formula: (mg/dL) = 28.7 ×...
