The effect and safety of acupuncture as adjunctive therapy for STEMI patients after PCI: study protocol of a randomized controlled trial.

Background: ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a common acute ischemia heart disease that causes serious damage to human health worldwide. Even though morbidity and mortality have significantly decreased by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), an additional cardiac protection strategy is still required. Acupuncture therapy has presented a dominant cardiac protection in many studies lately.

The Causal Relationship between Angina Pectoris and Gout Based on Two Sample Mendelian Randomization.

Purpose: Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) was conducted to assess the causal relationship between angina pectoris and gout. . Based on genome-wide association studies, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that were closely associated with gout were selected from the UK Biobank-Neale Lab (ukb-a-107) as genetic instrumental variables.
