Renal transplantation delays major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) in patients with end-stage renal disease: A nationwide population-based study
ConclusionRT seemed not to reduce the risk of MACEs directly, but it could have dramatically delayed MACEs and stroke episodes in the ESRD patients. Furthermore, a lower mortality rate was observed in the ESRD patients who received RT than in those undergoing chronic dialysis. Further in-depth investigation is necessary to identify other protective factors against MACEs or stroke in ESRD. (Source: Journal of the Chinese Medical Association)

The effects of proton pump inhibitor on hepatic vascular responsiveness and hemodynamics in cirrhotic rats
ConclusionPPIs did not affect hepatic vasoresponsiveness or the release of vasoactive substances. Furthermore, they did not influence hemodynamics, liver biochemistry or severity of hepatic fibrosis in the cirrhotic rats. (Source: Journal of the Chinese Medical Association)

The prognostic value of gray–white matter ratio on brain computed tomography in adult comatose cardiac arrest survivors
ConclusionLow GWRs which were obtained from brain CT scans in comatose CA patients after restoration of spontaneous circulation were associated with poor neurological outcomes. GWR from brain CT can be a useful parameter for prognostic prediction aiding to an optimal clinical decision process in comatose CA survivors. (Source: Journal of the Chinese Medical Association)

Contributing factors to mortality rates of pulmonary tuberculosis in intensive care units
ConclusionThe mortality of TB patients who needed ICU support remains high. This higher mortality rate seems related to multi-organ failure, requiring invasive mechanical ventilation and high APACHE II scores. (Source: Journal of the Chinese Medical Association)

Hyperemesis gravidarum is not a negative contributing factor for postpartum bone mineral density
ConclusionPregnancies complicated by HG did not have decreased bone mineral density compared to those without HG. There is no evidence to relate HG to future osteoporosis. (Source: Journal of the Chinese Medical Association)

Analysis of whole genome-wide methylation and gene expression profiles in visceral omental adipose tissue of pregnancies with gestational diabetes mellitus
ConclusionWe found that antigen processing and presentation pathway and immune-related genes were closely associated with gestational diabetes mellitus in the visceral omental adipose tissue of Chinese pregnant women, based on the integration analysis of expression and methylation profiles. These results may be valuable for the prognostic biomarkers and future therapeutic targets. (Source: Journal of the Chinese Medical Association)

Vardenafil inhibiting parasympathetic function of tracheal smooth muscle
ConclusionHigh concentrations of Levitra could inhibit parasympathetic function of the trachea. Levitra when administered via oral intake might reduce asthma attacks in impotent patients because it might inhibit parasympathetic function and reduce methacholine-induced contraction of the tracheal smooth muscle.
