Three lanthanum morphology materials encompassing all lanthanum composites were synthesized by the direct precipitation method, and their phosphate adsorption order was determined as La(CO) > La(OH) > LaO. Further comparison of the adsorption performance between La(CO) and La(OH) revealed that the former exhibited a twofold higher rate of adsorption compared to the latter. The presence of SO, HCO, Mg, and HA in the water led to a decrease in the phosphate adsorption of La(CO) and La(OH), while Ca enhances the adsorption of phosphoric acid by both materials.

Background: Higher serum uric acid (SUA) can cause gout, which is principally characterized by arthritis due to monosodium urate crystal deposition in the lower extremities. High levels of SUA have been linked to endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and inflammation, all of which are involved in the pathogenesis of peripheral artery disease(PAD). To date, the relationship between SUA levels and PAD is still poorly understood.

Background: The cardiovascular hazards of total homocysteine (tHcy) are long known. In addition, despite the acknowledgment on the importance of low ankle-brachial index (ABI) (< 0.9), borderline ABI (0.

Background: Increasing studies have focused on the predictive value of high estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) on cardiovascular diseases and mortality; however, the association between high eGFR with cognitive function is still not established. Thus, this study aimed to determine the co-relationship between high eGFR and cognitive performance in the hypertensive population.

Methods: We conducted a baseline cross-sectional study using data from the China H-type Hypertension Registry study.

The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between basal metabolic rate (BMR) and all-cause mortality in southern Chinese adults. We prospectively examined the relationship between BMR and all-cause mortality in 12,608 Southern Chinese adults with age ≥ 35 years who participated in the National Key R&D Program from 2013-2014 to 2019-2020. Cox proportional hazard models were used to examine the association between BMR and all-cause mortality.

We investigated the association between serum uric acid (SUA) levels and the risk of the first stroke in Chinese adults with hypertension. A total of 11, 841 hypertensive patients were selected from the Chinese Hypertension Registry for analysis. The relationship between SUA levels and first stroke was determined using multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression, smoothing curve fitting, and Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis.

Background: Limited information is available on arterial stiffness risk among hypertensive patients with metabolically abnormal but normal weight. Visceral adiposity index (VAI) is a novel indicator for visceral fat mass and metabolism, however, whether can be used to assessed arterial stiffness in a normal-weight population remains unclear. The goal of this study was to examine the independent association of VAI with arterial stiffness in normal-weight hypertensive patients.

Background: High body mass index (BMI) is a well-recognized risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. But its role in peripheral artery disease (PAD) remains perplexing. Our study aims to evaluate the association of BMI with PAD in the Chinese hypertensive population.
