Cardiorespiratory function influences exercise capacity and is an important determinant of high-altitude adaptation. Some studies have investigated the characteristics of changes in cardiorespiratory fitness during high-altitude acclimatization. However, studies on changes in cardiorespiratory fitness during high-altitude de-acclimatization are still lacking and have not yet been elucidated.

While creating well-being for human society, greenhouses also bring negative impacts such as air pollution, soil pollution, and water pollution. Therefore, it is of great significance to obtain information such as the area and quantity of greenhouses.

To avoid such adverse events, predicting HA cardiorespiratory fitness impairment (HA-CRFi) is clinically important. However, to date, there is insufficient information regarding the prediction of HA-CRFi.

Acute high-altitude (HA) exposure induces physiological responses of the heart and blood pressure (BP). However, few studies have investigated the responses associated with dipper and non-dipper BP patterns. In this prospective study, 72 patients underwent echocardiography and 24-h ambulatory BP testing at sea level and HA.

However, it remains unknown whether miR-206 is involved in pulmonary hypertension (PH) due to left heart diseases (PH-LHD). This study was designed to investigate the correlation between miR-206 and PH in patients with LHD.

This study investigated the association of circulating IGFBP1 level with the severity of coronary artery lesions in patients with unstable angina. In 112 consecutive patients with clinically diagnosed unstable angina, admitted from July 2014 to July 2015, we studied the correlations of circulating IGFBP1 and the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD).
