Abstract Background Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) accumulation is associated with multiple cardiometabolic risk factors and prognosis of heart failure preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The correlation between EAT density the effect on clinical outcome in HFpEF remain unclear. We evaluated relationship factors, also prognostic value patients HFpEF. Methods included 154 who underwent noncontrast cardiac computed tomography (CT) all received follow-up. volume were quantified...
According to recent studies, the COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with an increased risk of mental health problems across many subpopulations including pregnant and postnatal women. This study examined prevalence correlates depressive symptoms (depression hereafter) in Chinese postpartum women during pandemic.This was a multicenter, cross-sectional comprising 1309 12 provinces China pandemic. Depression assessed using nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire. Univariate analyses...
An in-depth knowledge of the microbiota and metabolites in solid-state fermentation (SSF) Post-fermented Pu-erh tea (Pu-erh Shucha, PFPT), a Chinese traditional with various health benefits, is essential to develop modern technology. In this work, microbial diversity succession two laboratory-developed SSF protocols for PFPT were investigated using pyrosequencing analyses bacterial 16S rRNA fungal 18S genes. The active bacteria initial stages (seven days) from raw materials environment,...
Background Hyperuricemia and right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) are both widespread in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) patients. RVD is associated a poor prognosis HFpEF. The correlation between serum uric acid (UA) levels function unclear. prognostic performance of UA patients HFpEF needs further validation. Methods results A total 210 were included the study divided into two groups according to level: normal group (≤7 mg/dl) high (>7 mg/dl). variables...
The TRPC1 gene on chromosome 3q22-24 resides within the linkage region for diabetic nephropathy (DN) in type 1 (T1D) and 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). A recent study has demonstrated that expression is reduced kidney of ZDF- STZ-treated rats. present aimed to evaluate genetic functional role development DN.Genetic association was performed with two independent cohorts, including 1,177 T1D European Americans or without DN from GoKinD population 850 African-American subjects T2D-associated...
Comparison of the prognostic value red cell distribution width (RDW) and N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) for short-term clinical outcomes in acute heart failure (AHF) patients has not been fully investigated.A total 128 with AHF were enrolled followed 3 months. Primary endpoints cardiovascular (CV) events, defined as cardiac death and/or readmission HF. Baseline RDW NT-proBNP measured at admission.The 30-day 90-day CV event rates 16.4% 35.9%, respectively. was higher...
Abstract Background The ICAM-1 gene is a strong positional and biological candidate for susceptibility to the development of T1D DN. We have recently demonstrated that SNP rs5498(E469K) confers might be associated with DN in Swedish Caucasians. present study aimed further evaluate association between genetic polymorphisms Methods Two common non-synonymous SNPs, including rs1799969(R241G), were genotyped 662 (312 female/350 male) patients 620 (369/251) without All selected from GoKinD study....
Electronic stethoscopes are widely used for cardiopulmonary auscultation; their audio recordings the intelligent recognition of sounds. However, they generate noise similar to a crackle during use, significantly interfering with clinical diagnosis. This paper will discuss causes, characteristics, and occurrence rules fake establish reference improving reliability electronic stethoscope in lung auscultation.
Background: This study examined the prevalence of depressive symptoms (depression hereafter) and its association with quality life (QOL) among pregnant postnatal women in China. Methods: In this multi-center, cross-sectional study, 1,060 from eight hospitals were assessed. Depression QOL measured using Edinburgh Postnatal Scale World Health Organization Quality Life Questionnaire - brief version, respectively. Results: The depression was 7.45% (95% CI: 5.87–9.04%) sample. Women had lower...
Background: Autoimmunity plays a role in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, autoantibody responses and their clinical correlation patterns COPD patients with without airway eosinophilic inflammation are unknown. The aim this study was to compare profiles associations stable patients, stratified by inflammatory phenotypes. Methods: Matched sputum serum, obtained from 62 14 age-matched controls, were assayed for presence IgG IgM antibodies against 13...
Studies on the associations between maternal complications during pregnancy and childhood asthma are exclusively conducted in Western countries. The findings mixed may not be translated to other populations. We aimed investigate among Chinese population determine whether were mediated through pre-term birth, caesarean delivery, low birthweight breastfeeding first 6 months.We a retrospective cohort study of 166 772 children Guangzhou, China. Information gestational hypertension, diabetes...
Autoimmune processes have been implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, relationship between airway and systemic autoantibody responses remains unclear. The aim this study was to elucidate patients with stable COPD by investigating correlation patterns sputum serum autoantibodies.In cross-sectional study, supernatant obtained from 47 were assayed for presence IgG antibodies against ten autoantigens: Smith antigen (Sm), ribosomal phosphoprotein...
Data regarding the influence of arterial stiffness on myocardial work (MW) has been scarce. This study was performed to investigate association between brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and MW by non-invasive left ventricular pressure-strain in a population non-hypertensive hypertensive individuals.Two hundred eight participants (104 104 individuals) were prospectively enrolled into study. All underwent conventional echocardiography, as well 2D speckle-tracking echocardiography...
