Background: The prevalence of cardiovascular disease has increased sharply in the Asian population, and evaluation of the risk of cardiovascular events with stable coronary heart disease remains challenging. The role of white blood cell (WBC) count in assisting clinical decision-making in this setting is still unclear.
Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the prognostic meaning of WBC count among patients with stable coronary heart disease.
Our previous study reckons that the impact of the rs1801133 variant of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) on coronary artery disease (CAD) is possibly mediated by cardiometabolic disorder. This study is performed to verify this hypothesis. Four hundred and thirty CAD patients and 216 CAD-free individuals were enrolled in this case-control study.

- Feed costs are a significant portion (60-70%) of poultry farming expenses, making feed efficiency crucial for profitability; researchers studied the differences in feed utilization between two groups of Shan Partridge ducks based on their genetic traits.
- They identified 78 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) involved in various metabolic pathways and found four core genes (GCG, CCK, GABRD, GABRB1) linked to feed efficiency.
- Hormonal analysis revealed differences in GLP-1 and NPY levels between the low-residual feed intake and high-residual feed intake groups, providing insights for improving feed efficiency and genetics in duck farming.
Prognostic value of serum uric acid in patients with acute heart failure: A meta-analysis.
Medicine (Baltimore)
February 2019
Background: Conflicting results have been reported on the prognostic significance of serum uric acid (SUA) in patients with acute heart failure (AHF). This meta-analysis aimed to determine the prognostic significance of SUA level in patients with AHF.
Methods: We made a comprehensive literature search in Pubmed and Embase databases from inception to April 6, 2018.
