Abstract Background Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a cerebral small vessel disease that carries mutations in NOTCH3 . The clinical manifestations are influenced by genetic environmental factors may include gut microbiome. Results We investigated the fecal metagenome, metabolome, serum neurotransmitters, cytokines cohort of 24 CADASIL patients 28 healthy household controls. integrated-omics study showed harbored an...

Objective: The triglyceride‑glucose (TyG) index is a reliable surrogate of insulin resistance and marker for ischemic stroke (IS) incident. Whether the TyG predicts outcome remains uncertain. This study investigated prognostic value in critically ill patients. Methods: was retrospective observational that included patients, all data were extracted from eICU Collaborative Research Database. calculated as ln (fasting glucose level [mg/dL] × triglyceride [mg/dL]/2). outcomes hospital intensive...

Gut microbiota associated with longevity plays an important role in the adaptation to damaging stimuli accumulated during aging process. The mechanism by which longevity-associated protects senescent host remains unclear, while metabolites of gut bacteria are particular interest. Here, integrated analysis untargeted metabolomics and 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used characterize metabolite profiles long-lived individuals (aged ≥90 years) comparison old-elderly 75-89 years), young-elderly...

Background Risk factor management via behavioral change contributes substantially to secondary stroke prevention. The health belief model identified self-perceived risk as a significant in behavior change. In previous studies, people have tended incorrectly estimate their of stroke. Little is known about the differences knowledge and behaviors patients who had with different risks recurrence China. Objective aims this study were determine accuracy compare hypertensive at strata.

White matter hyperintensity (WMH) is a common neuroimaging marker of cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) and critical independent predictor motor dysfunction, which increases the risk disability, morbidity, mortality. However, mechanism underlying relationship between WMH function has not yet been fully clarified. It was hypothesized that cognitive impairment mediates dysfunction in patients with SVD, were considered outcome variables, respectively.

BACKGROUND: Previous research has shown that men and women have different levels of stroke knowledge differing health behaviors, which are important factors affecting blood pressure, as hypertension is a key risk factor for occurrence. There been little on the effects sex association between these 2 variables before onset among Chinese hypertensive patients. METHODS: A cross-sectional study convenience sampling method were used. 272 male 118 female patients recruited. Each patient completed...

Abstract Natural killer (NK) cells are enriched in the central nervous system aging-related atheriosclerotic cerebral small vessel disease (aCSVD), but their roles and underlying mechanism remain to be elucidated. To identify potential cytotoxic molecules released by NK aCSVD lesions, proteomic analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), plasma, peripheral from patients with were performed. We found that integrin β2 (ITGB2), cathepsin D (CTSD), granzyme H (GZMH) highly expressed cells. ITGB2...

Gut microbiome plays a pivotal role in combating diseases and facilitating healthy aging, natural products derived from biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) of the human exhibit significant biological activities. However, gut long-lived populations remain poorly understood. Here, we integrated six cohorts populations, encompassing total 1029 fecal metagenomic samples, employed single sample assembled BGCs (MSSA-BGCs) analysis pipeline to investigate their associated species. Our findings reveal...
