Background: The risk prediction of pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) for future cardiovascular (CV) events post acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was investigated in comparison to other risk factors.
Methods: PAPP-A was measured at hospital admission in 320 consecutive ACS patients (136 with T2DM and 184 without). All patients were followed for 2 years for occurrence of CV death, non-fatal MI or stroke.
[Doubt about catheter-based renal sympathetic denervation for resistant hypertension].

Article Synopsis
- Primary systemic amyloidosis is a rare disease characterized by the abnormal build-up of fibrillary protein in organs like the heart, kidneys, lungs, and liver.
- Symptoms can be vague, making diagnosis challenging, but laboratory tests, particularly skin biopsies, are crucial for identifying the disease.
- In a described case, the patient experienced initial purpura-like lesions and rapidly progressed to organ failures, ultimately resulting in death within three months of diagnosis.
A rare case of tricuspid valve thrombus with acute pulmonary embolism.
Chin Med J (Engl)
December 2011
The development of thrombus on the tricuspid valve is very rare. This report describes a case of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) with a mass on the tricuspid valve in a normal heart, detected by bedside transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). After successful surgical management, the histopathological examination revealed the mass from the tricuspid valve to be mixed thrombus.

Objective: To investigate the effect of autologous radial artery (RA) on coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in the elderly aged 65 years and older.
Methods: Three hundreds and twenty-two patients aged 65 years and older underwent CABG with autologous RA from January 2000 to March 2007. Peri-operative complication and mortality were observed and follow-up was performed.

Objective: Serum pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) is increased in acute coronary syndrome patients and related to prognosis. We investigated the effects of C-reactive protein (CRP) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) on PAPP-A mRNA expression in monocytes.
Methods: Monocytes were isolated by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation from blood of healthy volunteers.
