LncRNA HILPDA promotes contrast-induced acute kidney injury by recruiting eIF4B to upregulate XPO1 expression.

Background: Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a serious and common complication following the use of iodinated contrast media, with a 20% fatality rate. The function of long non-coding RNA HILPDA (lnc-HILPDA) in CI-AKI development was investigated in this study.

Methods: CI-AKI models were constructed by iopromide treatment.

Short and long-term prognosis of admission hyperglycemia in patients with and without diabetes after acute myocardial infarction: a retrospective cohort study.

Objective: Admission hyperglycemia is associated with poor prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but the effects of baseline diabetes status on this association remain elusive. We aim to investigate the impact of admission hyperglycemia on short and long-term outcomes in diabetic and non-diabetic AMI patients.

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 3330 patients with regard to first-time AMI between July 2012 and July 2020 were identified.

Sex Difference Trend in 5-Year Mortality Among Patients With Coronary Artery Disease: A 24,432 Chinese Cohort Study From 2007 to 2014.

Background: The sex difference trend of short-term mortality in coronary artery disease (CAD) is narrowing, which has been reported in the previous studies. However, no studies assess the sex difference temporal trends of CAD mortality in China especially long-term mortality trend.

Methods: Based on the registry at Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital which is the largest cardiovascular center in South China, this retrospective cohort study included 24,432 hospitalized patients with CAD confirmed by coronary angiography from January 2007 to December 2014.

Prevalence and Mortality of Moderate or Severe Mitral Regurgitation Among Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With or Without Heart Failure: Results From CIN Study With 28,358 Patients.

Aim: This study investigated the prevalence and mortality associated with moderate or severe mitral regurgitation (MR) among patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), with or without heart failure (HF).

Methods: We analyzed patients undergoing PCI without mitral valve surgery from the Cardiorenal ImprovemeNt (CIN) study (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04407936).

Analysis of the CYP2C19 genetic polymorphism in Han and Uyghur patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in the Kashi area of Xinjiang.

Background: The aim of this study was to analyze the CYP2C19 genetic polymorphism among Han and Uyghur patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in the Kashi area of Xinjiang.

Material/methods: We enrolled 1020 patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, including 220 Han subjects and 800 Uyghur subjects. We used the gene chip method to detect polymorphisms in CYP2C19.
