Insertion of an implantable left ventricular assist device (LVAD) complicated by early right (RV) failure has a poor prognosis and is largely unpredictable. Prediction RV after LVAD placement would lead to more precise patient selection optimal selection.We reviewed data from 245 patients (mean age, 54+/-11 years; 85% male) with 189 HeartMate (77%) 56 Novacor (23%) LVADs. Ischemic cardiomyopathy predominated (65%), 29% had dilated cardiomyopathy. Overall, (RVAD) support was required...
Progressive nephrotoxicity caused by calcineurin inhibitor drugs contributes to the long-term decline in renal function kidney transplant patients.We conducted a randomized, prospective trial of drug avoidance 61 adult primary recipients. Each patient received induction therapy with 20 mg basiliximab on days 0 and 4, maintenance mycophenolate mofetil 1 g two times per day steroids. Thirty-one patients sirolimus, 5 daily after 15-mg loading dose. Doses were then concentration-controlled keep...
Background. Factors directing T-cell infiltration into allografts during acute rejection remain poorly defined. Chemokines have been shown to mediate leukocyte recruitment in animal models of rejection. The goal this study was test the presence and levels chemokine receptor gene expression serial endomyocardial biopsy specimens from heart transplant patients correlate observed with histopathologic grade. Methods. Three hundred sixteen 30 were obtained clinically scheduled surveillance...
Background. The expression levels of several chemokine genes in heart allografts correlate with histologic rejection grade. Potential molecular differences between early and late (grade ≥2) episodes were examined by testing receptor-gene expression. Methods. Expression inducible protein (IP)-10, monokine induced IFN-γ (Mig), interferon inducible-T cell alpha chemoattractant (I-TAC), regulated on activation normal T-cell expressed secreted (RANTES), their receptors CXCR3 CCR5 was tested 60...
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a major concern in tuberculosis (TB) treatment. For early detection of DILI, immune-inflammatory biomarkers are needed for better management. To explore the predictive effect systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) combined with neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte (MLR), eosinophil (EOS%), and CD4/CD8 on DILI occurrence TB patients HBsAg positive. This retrospective study enrolling who were treated...
The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility and effectiveness a novel WeChat applet-based personalized dietary intervention aimed at promoting healthier intakes. A two-arm parallel, randomized, controlled trial conducted in real-world scenario involved total 153 participants (the group, n = 76; control 77), lasting for 4 months Shanghai, China. group had access visualized nutrition evaluations through applet during workday lunch time, while received no interventions. 3413...
Studies using cross-sectional data or with a short follow-up period fail to distinguish whether the associations between sleep duration and physical activity cognitive function result from reverse causation.
Abstract Background Nutrition service needs are huge in China. Previous studies indicated that personalized nutrition (PN) interventions were effective. The aim of the present study is to identify effectiveness and feasibility a novel PN approach supported by artificial intelligence (AI). Methods This two-arm parallel, randomized, controlled trial real world scenario. participants will be enrolled among who consume lunch at staff canteen. In Phase I, total 170 eligible assigned either...
We set up a series of school-based interventions on the basis an ecological model targeting sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) reduction in Chinese elementary and middle schools evaluated effects. A total 1046 students from were randomly recruited intervention group, as 1156 counterparts control group. The conducted for one year. participants orally instructed to answer all questionnaires by themselves at baseline after intervention. difference statistical approach was used identify effects...
Sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption among children and adolescents is steadily increasing in China, while the main taste of Chinese food salty. The present study aimed to determine relationships between SSB total fluid dietary sodium salt intake China. data were obtained from a cross-sectional investigation 2015. A 3958 participants included. 24-h record for three consecutive days was collected across school rest days. After adjusting age, sex, yearly household income, maternal...
