Background: China bears the biggest stroke burden in world. However, little is known about current prevalence, incidence, and mortality of at national level, trend past 30 years. Methods: In 2013, a nationally representative door-to-door survey was conducted 155 urban rural centers 31 provinces China, totaling 480 687 adults aged ≥20 All survivors were considered as prevalent cases time (August 31, 2013). First-ever strokes that occurred during 1 year preceding point-prevalent incident...

Stroke is common during the first few weeks after a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or minor stroke. Combination therapy with clopidogrel and aspirin may provide greater protection against subsequent stroke than alone.In randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted at 114 centers in China, we randomly assigned 5170 patients within 24 hours onset of high-risk TIA to combination (clopidogrel an initial dose 300 mg, followed by 75 mg per day for 90 days, plus 21 days) placebo...

The relative balance between the quantity of white and brown adipose tissue can profoundly affect lipid storage whole-body energy homeostasis. However, mechanisms regulating formation, expansion, interconversion these 2 distinct types fat remain unknown. Recently, lysosomal degradative pathway macroautophagy has been identified as a regulator cellular differentiation, suggesting that autophagy may modulate this process in adipocytes. function differentiation was therefore examined current...

In acute ischemic stroke, there is uncertainty regarding the benefit and risk of administering intravenous alteplase before endovascular thrombectomy.We conducted a trial at 41 academic tertiary care centers in China to evaluate thrombectomy with or without patients stroke. Patients stroke from large-vessel occlusion anterior circulation were randomly assigned 1:1 ratio undergo alone (thrombectomy-alone group) preceded by alteplase, dose 0.9 mg per kilogram body weight, administered within...

We aimed to establish the prevalence, characteristics, and outcomes of intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS) in China by a large, prospective, multicenter study. evaluated 2864 consecutive patients who experienced an acute cerebral ischemia<7 days after symptom onset 22 Chinese hospitals. All underwent magnetic resonance angiography, with measurement diameter main arteries. ICAS was defined as ≥50% reduction on angiography. The prevalence 46.6% (1335 patients, including 261 coexisting...

Ticagrelor may be a more effective antiplatelet therapy than aspirin for the prevention of recurrent stroke and cardiovascular events in patients with acute cerebral ischemia.We conducted an international double-blind, controlled trial 674 centers 33 countries, which 13,199 nonsevere ischemic or high-risk transient attack who had not received intravenous intraarterial thrombolysis were considered to have cardioembolic randomly assigned within 24 hours after symptom onset, 1:1 ratio, receive...

Trials have evaluated the use of clopidogrel and aspirin to prevent stroke after an ischemic or transient attack (TIA). In a previous trial, ticagrelor was not better than in preventing vascular events death TIA. The effect combination on prevention has been well studied.We conducted randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial involving patients who had mild-to-moderate acute noncardioembolic stroke, with National Institutes Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score 5 less (range, 0 42,...

China faces the greatest challenge from stroke in world. The death rate for cerebrovascular diseases was 149.49 per 100 000, accounting 1.57 million deaths 2018. It ranked third among leading causes of behind malignant tumours and heart disease. age-standardised prevalence incidence 2013 were 1114.8 000 population 246.8 person-years, respectively. According to Global Burden Disease Study 2017, years life lost (YLLs) increased by 14.6%; YLLs due rose highest all 1990 2017. absolute numbers...

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by hepatic steatosis and varying degrees of necroinflammation. Although chronic oxidative stress, inflammatory cytokines, insulin resistance have been implicated in the pathogenesis NAFLD, mechanisms that underlie initiation progression this remain unknown. c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activated oxidants cytokines regulates hepatocellular injury resistance, suggesting may mediate development steatohepatitis. The presence function JNK...

Rapid socioeconomic progress has greatly affected the lifestyle in China. Consequently, owing to changes, urbanization, and accelerated population aging, risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) increased.
