Background: To investigate the association between serum osmolality and deteriorating renal function in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Methods: Three thousand eight hundred eighty-five AMI patients from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV were enrolled for this study. The primary outcome was deteriorating renal function.
Article Synopsis
- The study assessed how common abdominal obesity is among urban adults aged 35 to 79 in southwest China, finding a prevalence of 30.7%.
- It used data from nearly 11,000 participants across Chengdu and Chongqing, gathering information through questionnaires and physical measurements.
- Key factors linked to higher rates of abdominal obesity included age, sex, marriage status, alcohol use, hypertension, and diabetes, while higher education, smoking, and physical activity were associated with lower rates.
Objective: The aim of our study was to assess the prevalence and geographic variation of obesity-related hypertension in China among adults aged 45 years or older.
Methods: Data were derived from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) conducted in 2015. Stratified sample households covered 150 counties/districts and 450 villages/urban communities from 28 provinces by using household questionnaires, clinical measurements, and blood-based bioassays.
Article Synopsis
- * Results showed an 18.2% prevalence of hyperuricemia, with higher rates in men (21.5%) than women (16.2%), and identified several risk factors including age, lifestyle choices, and obesity.
- * The authors recommend increasing public awareness and health education about hyperuricemia, especially for newly diagnosed hypertensive patients, to encourage regular monitoring of uric acid levels.
Article Synopsis
- * Key findings indicated that 27.4% of participants had dyslipidemia, with high triglycerides being the most prevalent issue, affecting 15.7% of the population.
- * The study found links between dyslipidemia and factors like higher education, smoking, hypertension, and obesity, as well as a negative association with daily physical exercise.
Detection of an anti-angina therapeutic module in the effective population treated by a multi-target drug Danhong injection: a randomized trial.

Article Synopsis
- A study involving 920 patients with stable angina tested the efficacy of Danhong injection (DHI), a polypharmacological drug, over 14 days, finding that DHI significantly improved patient-reported angina frequency compared to a placebo.
- There were no significant differences in major vascular events or serious side effects between the DHI and placebo groups, indicating DHI's safety in this population.
- RNA sequencing identified a new therapeutic module related to blood coagulation and cholesterol metabolism as a potential target for DHI's effects, highlighting a connection between this module and positive changes in angina symptoms.
Article Synopsis
- Hyperuricemia, characterized by high levels of uric acid in the blood, is a growing health concern, particularly among adults aged 35-79 in southwestern China, with a prevalence of 13.5% found in a large-scale study of over 10,000 participants.
- Men are more affected than women, showing higher rates of hyperuricemia (17.3% in men vs. 10.0% in women), and factors like hypertension, obesity, and smoking are linked to an increased risk.
- The study suggests that certain demographics, such as married individuals, may be less susceptible to hyperuricemia, indicating a need for targeted health interventions, especially for men.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted in southwest China to assess the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and its related risk factors among individuals aged 80 and older, with 1,326 participants involved.
- The results revealed that 27.4% of the elderly population had DM, with men experiencing a higher prevalence than women; factors such as male sex, hypertension, and obesity were associated with increased risk.
- The study concluded that regular screening for DM in individuals aged 80 and older is crucial for early diagnosis and management.
This study investigated the prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension and associated factors among urban adults in southwestern China. The study was conducted from 2013-2014 and used a multistage cluster sampling method to select a representative sample of 11,517 people in southwestern China, aged 35-79 years. Hypertension was defined as either systolic blood pressure of 140 mmHg or greater, diastolic blood pressure of 90 mm Hg or greater, or self-reported current treatment for hypertension with antihypertensive medications.

Materials And Methods: Whole-exome sequencing by next-generation sequencing technique was implemented on twenty SCLC samples.
This study aimed to assess the prevalence and related factors of obesity-related hypertension among adults aged 40 to 79 years in Southwest China. From September 2013 to March 2014, a multi-stage, stratified sampling method was conducted on 10,589 people aged 40 to 79 years and living in Chengdu and Chongqing investigated by using a questionnaire and performing physical and biochemical measurements. The prevalence of obesity-related hypertension and hypertension overall (systolic ≥130 mmHg and/or diastolic ≥80 mmHg or treated hypertension) was 22.

Excessive growth hormone secretion and elevation of insulin-like growth factor 1 contribute to pathological changes in myocyte growth and structure, cardiac contractility, vascular function, and in later stage may progress to cardiac dysfunction. Early recognition of the condition is paramount, though the insidious progression of the disease commonly results in late diagnosis.

Our aim is to investigate the prevalence and risk factors associated with hypertension among the Chinese Qiang population. From September 2012 to March 2013, a cross-sectional study was conducted in urban and rural communities of the Qiang population using multistage cluster sampling. A total of 2676 people aged above 20 years were enrolled in the analysis.
