Plasma sphingolipids and risk of cardiovascular diseases: a large-scale lipidomic analysis
ConclusionsOur results do not support the hypothesis that higher ceramide concentrations are linked to higher CVD risk, but suggest that other classes of sphingolipids may affect CVD risk.

Sex differences in the effects of the moon on ischemic stroke incidence: new findings from Beijing, China.
Abstract Stroke is a major cause of death and disability in China, and no therapies have proven effective to prevent it. Popular belief holds that the lunar cycle affects human physiology, behavior, and health. The aim of our study is to determine whether the lunar cycle impacts the incidence of stroke subtypes [intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), transient ischemic attack (TIA) and ischemic stroke (IS)]. We retrospectively extracted the discharge registry data of all patients with first-ever acute stroke hospitalized in the affiliated hospital of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine during 2002-2015. Th...

Therapeutic Effect of Autologous Bone Marrow Stem Cell Mobilization Combined with Anti-infective Therapy on Moyamoya Disease
Conclusion: autogenous bone marrow stem cell mobilization combined with dexamethasone anti-inflammation and anti-infection treatment after revascularization in patients with MMD can accelerate the recovery of nerve function and promote the formation of new blood vessels. At the same time, it can reduce inflammation and improve patients' quality of life, which is worthy of clinical reference.

Sex differences in outcomes and associated factors among stroke patients with small artery occlusion in China
ConclusionsThese findings suggest that it is crucial to control conventional risk factors and fasting plasma glucose and lipid levels among patients with SAO, especially male patients, to reduce the burden of stroke in China.

Circadian rhythms may not influence the outcomes of thrombolysis in patients with ischemic stroke: A study from China.
In conclusion, there was no evidence to predict that circadian rhythms could influence the outcomes of AIS patients treated with rt-PA in China, although stroke onset during nighttime might aggravate neurological impairment before treatment. Further, multicenter and prospective clinical trials with larger number of subjects are still needed to draw more reliable conclusions. PMID: 29993298 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
