Background: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR), which are calculated using different parameters, are widely used as markers of insulin resistance and are associated with cardiovascular diseases and prognosis. However, whether they have an additive effect on the risk of mortality remains unclear. This study aimed to explore whether the combined assessment of the TyG index and eGDR improved the prediction of long-term mortality in individuals with and without diabetes.

Aims: Variability of metabolic parameters, such as glycemic variability (GV) and systolic blood pressure variability (SBPV), are associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, whether these parameters have additive effects on mortality in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU) remains unclear.

Methods: We retrospectively enrolled patients with CAD from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV database.

Background: Stress hyperglycemia and glycemic variability (GV) can reflect dramatic increases and acute fluctuations in blood glucose, which are associated with adverse cardiovascular events. This study aimed to explore whether the combined assessment of the stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) and GV provides additional information for prognostic prediction in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU).

Methods: Patients diagnosed with CAD from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV database (version 2.

Aims: The stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) is significantly associated with short-term adverse cardiovascular events. However, the association between SHR and mortality after the acute phase of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains controversial.

Methods: This study used data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV database.

The zero-valent iron (ZVI) immobilized in an alginate microsphere was prepared by using sodium alginate as a support material. The characteristics of the Fe/alginate microsphere was characterized by FT-IR, SEM, BET, and XPS. The SEM and BET analyses showed that the Fe/alginate microsphere had a multilevel porous structure and could adsorb ARB.

Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of amniotic membrane transplantation(AMT) for ocular burn.

Methods: Twenty patients with ocular burn(28 eyes) were treated with amniotic membrane transplantation. Of them, there were 6 cases of severe alkali burn(10 eyes), 8 cases of severe acid burn(10 eyes), and 6 cases of thermal burn(8 eyes).
