Regulatory Genetic Variation at the S100B Gene Associates with Vaso-Occlusive Manifestations in Sickle Cell Disease
In sickle cell disease (SCD) polymerization of hemoglobin S under deoxygenated conditions causes vaso-occlusion, which can manifest as acute pain crisis and progressive bone/organ damage. Molecular studies have attributed vaso-occlusion to elevated vascular adhesion and inflammatory responses, whereas the genetic regulation has only recently been assessed.Genomic DNA isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was hybridized to Illumina Human 610-Quad SNP array for the PUSH and Walk-PHaSST cohorts and to Affrymetrix SNP 6.0 array for the Howard SCD expression cohort. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for ...

Acupuncture for hypertension.
CONCLUSIONS: At present, there is no evidence for the sustained BP lowering effect of acupuncture that is required for the management of chronically elevated BP. The short-term effects of acupuncture are uncertain due to the very low quality of evidence. The larger effect shown in non-sham acupuncture controlled trials most likely reflects bias and is not a true effect. Future RCTs must use sham acupuncture controls and assess whether there is a BP lowering effect of acupuncture that lasts at least seven days. PMID: 30480757 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

YiQiFuMai Powder Injection Attenuates Coronary Artery Ligation-Induced Heart Failure Through Improving Mitochondrial Function via Regulating ROS Generation and CaMKII Signaling Pathways
This study was carried out in accordance with the recommendations of “Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, National Institutes of Health.” The protocol was approved by the “China Pharmaceutical University.” Surgical Preparation The mice were anesthetized with chloral hydrate (4% chloral hydrate, ip). The HF model was induced by CAL as previously reported (Gao et al., 2010). Successful ligation of the coronary artery was confirmed by the occurrence of ST-segment elevation in electrocardiogram. Sham operated mice were performed the same process except left CAL. After ligation, the h...

Apelin-13 Suppresses Neuroinflammation Against Cognitive Deficit in a Streptozotocin-Induced Rat Model of Alzheimer ’s Disease Through Activation of BDNF-TrkB Signaling Pathway
Conclusion The data in this manuscript demonstrates that apelin-13 upregulates BDNF against STZ-induced congnitive impairment by suppressing glial cell activity and inflammatory factors release. This suggests apelin signaling may be a new target in the treatment of AD. Ethics Statement All experimental protocols were carried out according to the National Institutes of Health Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals approved by the Central South University at XiangYa Animal Care and Use Committee. Author Contributions XqQ and LH conceived the study and contributed to its experimental design. HqL carried out the...

Geniposide Alleviates Glucocorticoid-Induced Inhibition of Osteogenic Differentiation in MC3T3-E1 Cells by ERK Pathway
Conclusion In summary, we demonstrated that geniposide alleviated GC-induced osteogenic suppression in MC3T3-E1 cells. The effects of geniposide were at least partially associated with activating ERK signaling pathway via GLP-1 receptor. Geniposide might be a potential therapeutic agent for protection against GC-induced osteoporosis. Author Contributions BX, DX, CZ, and LW participated in research design. BX, JW, YL, XW, and ZZ conducted the experiments. BX, DX, and LW contributed new reagents or analytic tools and wrote or contributed to the writing of the manuscript. BX, JW, CZ, and DX performed the data analysis. Fu...

Osteoporosis and Sarcopenia Increase Frailty Syndrome in the Elderly
Conclusions World population is aging and the increase in life expectancy is often unhealthy. In particular, musculoskeletal aging, which leads to sarcopenia and osteoporosis, has several causes such as changes in body composition, inflammation, and hormonal imbalance. Sarcopenia, osteoporosis, and more frequently, sarcopenic obesity are commonly associated with aging and frequently closely linked each other, often leading to the development of a frailty syndrome. Frailty syndrome favors an increased risk of loss function in daily activities, for cardiovascular diseases, cancers, falls, and mortality. As the number of eld...

Atrial Transcriptional Profiles of Molecular Targets Mediating Electrophysiological Function in Aging and Pgc-1 β Deficient Murine Hearts
Conclusion: These findings limit the possible roles of gene transcriptional changes in previously reported age-dependent pro-arrhythmic electrophysiologial changes observed in Pgc-1β-/- atria to an altered Ca2+-ATPase (Atp2a2) expression. This directly parallels previously reported arrhythmic mechanism associated with p21-activated kinase type 1 deficiency. This could add to contributions from the direct physiological outcomes of mitochondrial dysfunction, whether through reactive oxygen species (ROS) production or altered Ca2+ homeostasis. Introduction Atrial arrhythmias constitute a major public health pro...

Trends of antihypertensive agents in patients with hypertension and coronary artery disease in a tertiary hospital of China
Conclusion The compliance to guidelines is overall well for patients with hypertension and coronary artery disease, but improvements is needed for patients with type 2 diabetes. Multi-center studies with large-scale data are required to further assess the usage of antihypertensive agents in patients.

Use of Cardiovascular Drugs for Primary and Secondary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease Among Rural-Dwelling Older Chinese Adults
In conclusion, despite highly prevalent cardiovascular risk factors and CVDs, a fairly low proportion of the rural-dwelling older adults take CV medications for primary and secondary prevention. Notably, TCM products are among the most commonly used CV drugs. These results call for additional efforts to promote implementation of the evidence-based recommendations for prevention of CVDs in the primary care settings.

Anesthetic considerations in hyperparathyroid crisis: A case report
Introduction: Hyperparathyroid crisis is a rare and potentially life-threatening complication of severe calcium intoxication. Parathyroidectomy is the only curative method for hyperparathyroid crisis. Several case reports and case series have been published on the medical and surgical treatments for hyperparathyroid crisis, however, few reports have focused on the associated perioperative anesthetic management. Patient concerns: A 48-year-old Chinese woman presented with a 2-week history of nausea and vomiting and complained of mental status alteration including confusion and agitation in the 24 hours prior to...

Case Report: 68 yo Chinese-American woman with high HDL-C and ischemic stroke attributed to intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) events are the most common cause of death in the United States and for most individuals who experience these events, may be predicted by risk identification tools. ASCVD risk calculators enable a clinician-patient discussion and the presence of risk-enhancing factors may further inform decision-making with respect to preventive pharmacotherapy, especially statin prescription. In cases where the decision of whether to treat with medicine is unclear, coronary artery calcium scoring by computed tomography offers enhanced risk stratification and may allow both clinicians and patie...
