The relationship between trimethylamine-N-oxide and the risk of acute ischemic stroke: A dose‒response meta-analysis.

Background: Although trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) shows a notable correlation with cardiovascular disease, its association with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains uncertain and necessitates further investigation.

Objective: A meta-analysis was conducted to assess the relationship between trimethylamine-N-oxide and acute ischemic stroke.

Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, CNKI, VIP, Wanfang, and CBM, spanning from their inception to 23 September 2023.

Establishment and verification of prognostic model and ceRNA network analysis for colorectal cancer liver metastasis.

Objects: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers in the world. Approximately two-thirds of patients with CRC will develop colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRLM) at some point in time. In this study, we aimed to construct a prognostic model of CRLM and its competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network.

Association between plasma Vitamin B5 levels and all-cause mortality: A nested case-control study.

We aimed to evaluate the prospective association of vitamin B5 with all-cause mortality and explore its potential modifiers in Chinese adults with hypertension. A nested, case-control study was conducted in the China Stroke Primary Prevention Trial, including 505 deaths of all causes and 505 matched controls. The median follow-up duration was 4.

Laparoscopic liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma complicated with significant portal hypertension: A propensity score-matched survival analysis.

Background: Significant portal hypertension (SPH) is a relative contraindication for patients with resectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, increasing evidence indicates that liver resection is feasible for HCC patients with SPH.

Methods: HCC patients with cirrhosis who underwent laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) in two centers from January 2013 to April 2018 were included.

Association between vitamin D supplementation and cancer incidence and mortality: A trial sequential meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Observational studies and clinical trials have evaluated the associations between vitamin D supplementation and cancer incidence/mortality and obtained mixed results. Previous meta-analyses have also yielded inconsistent conclusions. In this paper, we conduct an updated meta-analysis by including current randomized clinical trials (RCTs) to assess the association between vitamin D supplementation and cancer incidence and mortality.

Dietary inflammatory index and pancreatic cancer risk: a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis.

Objective: The meta-analysis was conducted to test the link between pancreatic cancer (PC) risk and dietary inflammatory index (DII®) score.

Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Setting: We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library up to 22 November 2020 to identify the relevant studies.
