The association between weekend warrior physical activity pattern and albuminuria in hypertensive patients.

Background: Albuminuria, a critical and sensitive indicator of vascular injury, has been linked to early kidney damage in patients with hypertension. High-quality physical activity (PA) may reduce urinary albumin excretion. Yet, the connection between PA patterns and albuminuria is still not well understood.

Integration of the systemic inflammatory response index with pulse pressure enhances prognostication of cardiovascular mortality in the general population of the United States: insights from the NHANES database.

Background: The prognostic significance of utilizing both the systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) and pulse pressure (PP) collectively in assessing cardiovascular mortality (CVM) across populations remains to be elucidated.

Methods: Multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis investigated the SIRI, PP, and CVM association. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves evaluated the predictive performance of the combined SIRI and PP for CVM in the broader demographic.

Association between Pan-Immune Inflammation Value and Sarcopenia in Hypertensive Patients, NHANES 1999-2018.

Sarcopenia worsens the prognosis in hypertensive patients, leading to complications such as proteinuria, osteoporosis, disability, and cognitive impairment. Early screening and intervention for sarcopenia in these patients may improve outcomes. This cross-sectional study utilized data from 9253 hypertensive patients in the 1999-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

Association of domain-specific physical activity with albuminuria among prediabetes and diabetes: a large cross-sectional study.

Background: Albuminuria, the presence of excess of protein in urine, is a well-known risk factor for early kidney damage among diabetic/prediabetic patients. There is a complex interaction between physical activity (PA) and albuminuria. However, the relationship of specific-domain PA and albuminuria remained obscure.

Composite dietary antioxidant index and sleep health: a new insight from cross-sectional study.

Background: Low-quality sleep and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can result in series of chronic diseases. Healthy diet has been considered as an effective and simple strategy to optimize sleep quality. However, current evidence on the correlation of dietary composite antioxidant intake with sleep health remained obscure.

Associations of starchy and non-starchy vegetables with risk of metabolic syndrome: evidence from the NHANES 1999-2018.

Background: Higher dietary quality, including increased vegetable consumption, was associated with a reduced risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, specific vegetable consumption in the development of MetS remains obscure. Our study aimed to investigate the correlation between starchy and non-starchy vegetables and MetS.

Association between dietary inflammatory index and low muscle mass in diabetes/prediabetes patients.

Background: Growing evidence has increasingly validated that individuals with diabetes/prediabetes have a higher prevalence of low skeletal muscle mass and function compared to healthy individuals. The anti-inflammatory diet is considered a promising and modifiable approach to optimize skeletal muscle quality. However, current evidence on the relation of dietary inflammatory potential with low muscle mass among diabetic/prediabetic patients is limited.

Identification of key genes and mechanisms of epicardial adipose tissue in patients with diabetes through bioinformatic analysis.

Background: In recent years, peri-organ fat has emerged as a diagnostic and therapeutic target in metabolic diseases, including diabetes mellitus. Here, we performed a comprehensive analysis of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) transcriptome expression differences between diabetic and non-diabetic participants and explored the possible mechanisms using various bioinformatic tools.

Methods: RNA-seq datasets GSE108971 and GSE179455 for EAT between diabetic and non-diabetic patients were obtained from the public functional genomics database Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO).

Multivessel vs. Culprit Vessel-Only Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction in Patients With Cardiogenic Shock: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: The optimal revascularization strategy in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicating by cardiogenic shock (CS) remains controversial. This study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes of multivessel percutaneous coronary intervention (MV-PCI) compared to culprit vessel-only PCI (CO-PCI) for the treatment, only in patients with STEMI with CS.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted.

[Identification, characterization and utilization of simple sequence repeat markers derived from Salvia miltiorrhiza expressed sequence tags].

Despite Salvia miltiorrhiza being one of the most important medicine plants in China, there is a limited availability of genomic resources, especially of the expressed sequence tag-based markers. In this study, we selected and characterized functional markers in S. miltiorrhiza, which consisted of 4,192 non-redundant expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from 10,288 identified S.

[Effect of methanol eluates from Ginkgo biloba root on growth and development of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi cultured in vitro].

The effect of methanol eluates from Ginkgo biloba root on growth and development of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi was studied under cultured in vitro. The study indicated that the methanol eluates from Ginkgo biloba root could significantly stimulate the spore germination and hyphal growth of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomus mosseae, Gigaspora margarita), and the 80% methanol eluates had the most significant effect. There were rich flavonoids in the methanol eluates, and the highest flavonoids content was in the 80% methanol eluates.

[Ecological significance of arbuscular mycorrhiza biotechnology in modern agricultural system].

Mycorrhiza plays a key role in nutrient cycling in ecosystem, and protects host plant against environmental stress. Under natural condition, plant's mycorrhizal structure is a normal phenomenon, and arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) association is the commonest mycorrhizal type. If well mycorrhizal structure can be formed during plant root system developing process, the quantity and quality of plant production will be improved in large.
