Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the relationship between the C-reactive protein-triglyceride-glucose index (CTI) and stroke risk in hypertensive patients, proposing CTI as a comprehensive marker for assessing insulin resistance and inflammation.
  • After following 3,834 patients over 7 years, results indicated a 21% increased stroke risk for each unit increase in CTI and a 66% higher likelihood of stroke for those in the highest quartile compared to the lowest.
  • The study supports the idea that higher CTI levels correlate with increased stroke risk and highlights CTI as a valuable tool for stroke prediction in hypertensive individuals.

Background: It is still controversial for neonates or children to choose normal saline or heparin solution in the care of peripheral intravenous catheters. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effects of heparin versus normal saline for the care of peripheral intravenous catheters in pediatrics, to provide reliable evidence support for clinical care.

Methods: Two authors searched the PubMed, EMbase, Ovid Medline, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CBM, WanFang Data and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases for randomized controlled trial (RCT) of heparin versus normal saline for the care of peripheral intravenous catheters in pediatrics until July 16, 2023.

Kaempferol is a natural compound that inhibits tumor development in androgenic related prostate cancer. However, it is still not clear about its phyto-androgenic activity and whether it suppresses testosterone-induced benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) development. In this study, molecular docking, cellular immunofluorescence staining, chromatin immunoprecipitation and dual luciferase reporter assay were performed to investigate the androgenic activity of kaempferol.
