The influence of MRAS gene variants on ischemic stroke and serum lipid levels in Chinese Han population
Previous studies have indicated that muscle RAS oncogene homolog (MRAS) gene played an important role in cardiovascular diseases. However, the effect of MRAS genetic variations on ischemic stroke (IS) is still not clear. The aim of the current study was to investigate the association between the MRAS polymorphism and IS risk in Han populations.
Three SNPs (rs40593, rs751357, rs6782181) at MRAS were selected for genotyping in a sample of 240 IS patients and 430 controls. Logistic regression was performed to evaluate the association of 3 SNPs with IS and IS subgroups.
No association of MRAS SNPs with IS risk was observed, ...

Association between iron metabolism and cognitive impairment in older non-alcoholic fatty liver disease individuals: A cross-sectional study in patients from a Chinese center
This study examined whether iron metabolism is associated with cognitive impairment in older individuals.
A cross-sectional study was held in patients from a Chinese center. Individuals with NAFLD aged over 60 years were included if they did not have excessive alcohol intake and were free of stroke or dementia. Their cognitive function was assessed by the same neurologist. 3.0T H proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) was performed to evaluate the hippocampus of the participants without contraindication. t test and Chi-square test were used to analyze the data. Binary logistic regression was used for correlation ...

Prevalence and association of medication nonadherence with major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with myocardial infarction
Current study was to evaluate the prevalence of guideline recommended medications adherence in myocardial infarction (MI) patients postpercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and the association of medication nonadherence and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs).
MI patients who underwent PCI in the last 12 months were enrolled. Demographic and clinical characteristics were collected and guideline recommended medications were evaluated. Patients were divided into with and without MACEs groups.
Compared to patients without MACEs, those with MACEs were older (54.8 ± 16.4 vs 51.1 ± 15.2 years), more likely...

The risk of stroke and associated risk factors in a health examination population: A cross-sectional study
This study estimates the risk of stroke and identify risk factors for people who underwent health examinations at the Health Examination Center at West China Hospital, Sichuan University from July 2014 to February 2018.
A total of 31,464 people were recruited in this study and divided into 3 groups (low risk, moderate risk, and high risk) according to risk of stroke. We explored possible factors associated with the risk of stroke by using multivariable stepwise logistic regression analysis.
Among the participants, 17,959 were at low risk, 11,825 were at moderate risk, and 1680 were at high risk. Age, smoking, alcohol con...

How to continue lipid-lowering therapy in patients with coronary heart disease and severe liver dysfunction?: A case report of plaque regression by a combination of Chinese and Western Medicine
Rationale:
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), including coronary heart disease (CHD), atherosclerotic stroke and peripheral vascular disease, has become the most deadly chronic noncommunicable disease throughout the world in recent decades, while plaque regression could reduce the occurrence of ASCVD. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been widely used for prevention and treatment of these diseases. In the perspective of TCM, phlegm and blood stasis are considered to be leading pathogenesis for CHD. Hence, activating blood circulation and dissipating phlegm, which is of great benefit to regress plaque, h...

Acupuncture for poststroke spasticity: A protocol of a systematic review and meta-analysis
Introduction:
Spasticity is the most common complication after stroke, which is the main obstacle in the recovery of motor function. Spasticity seriously affects the quality of life and brings a heavy burden to families and society. Acupuncture is an effective method for stroke. However, whether acupuncture is effective for poststroke spasticity is still unknown. The purpose of this systematic review (SR) is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture for poststroke spasticity.
Methods and analysis:
We will search the following databases from inception to July 2019: China Biology Medicine (CBM), China Nati...
