Background: Depression is an independent risk factor for adverse outcomes of coronary heart disease (CHD). This study aimed to develop a depression risk prediction model for CHD patients.
Methods: This study utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the link between plant-based food consumption and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in elderly Chinese, aiming to encourage greater plant-based diets to lower CVD risks.
- Analyzed data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey involved 1,414 elderly participants, with findings showing a negative correlation between plant-based dietary index (PDI) and CVD risks, suggesting healthier outcomes for higher plant-based food consumption.
- Results indicate that factors like gender, BMI, smoking, alcohol use, or exercise do not alter the relationship, reinforcing the potential benefits of increasing plant-based food intake for reducing CVD risks.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between insulin resistance (IR) indicators and long-term mortality in patients with coronary heart disease and hypertension, as previous research has been limited in this area.
- Utilizing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, the researchers employed various statistical techniques to analyze the impacts of IR surrogates, specifically HOMA-IR, on all-cause mortality rates.
- Results showed that HOMA-IR has a significant threshold (3.59) affecting mortality risk, demonstrating that lower levels are associated with decreased risk while higher levels indicate an increased risk.
Background: The relationship between sleep characteristics and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk has yet to reach a consistent conclusion, and more research needs to be carried out. This study aimed to explore the relationship between snoring, daytime sleepiness, bedtime, sleep duration, and high-risk sleep patterns with CVD risk.
Methods: Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2015-2018 were collected and analyzed.
Myocardial infarction (MI) is caused by the formation of plaques in the arterial walls, leading to a decrease of blood flow to the heart and myocardium injury as a result of hypoxia. Ferroptosis is a crucial event in myocardial injury, and icariin (ICA) exerts protective effects against myocardial injury. Here, we investigated the protective mechanism of ICA in hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced ferroptosis of cardiomyocytes.

Int J Colorectal Dis
February 2016
Purpose: Surgical site infections (SSIs) following colorectal surgery is common, and local application of gentamicin for SSIs in the surgery remains controversial.
Objective: To identify whether local application of gentamicin reduces incidence of SSIs in colorectal surgery.
Methods: PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Science Citation Index were searched for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and reference list up to November 2014.
