Article Synopsis
- Elevated blood pressure (BP), particularly systolic and diastolic BP, may increase the risk of myocardial infarction (MI), but the exact causal relationship was uncertain and is explored in this study.
- The researchers used a method called bidirectional Mendelian randomization, analyzing genetic variants associated with BP and MI in large cohorts to assess potential causal links.
- Results indicated that while higher BP levels could lead to an increased risk of MI, there was no evidence that MI causes changes in BP, highlighting the importance of managing BP for preventing heart issues.
Objective: To explore the association of spermatogenic arrest with the expression of estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) in human testes.
Methods: We examined the testicular biopsy specimens of 120 infertile men by HE staining, detected the expression of ERalpha in the specimens of those with spermatogenic arrest by the two-step immunohistochemical method, and compared the results with those of 10 healthy men.
Results: Of the 120 specimens from the infertile men, 31 (25.

Objective: The present study was designed to investigate the influence of Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) on the mentality and behavior in children, and to compare post operative mentality and behavior in children receiving interventional therapy and congenital heart surgery.
Method: Mentality and behavior of 232 children suffering from CHD were examined with Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) edited by XU Tao-yuan in 1992 and 100 sex, age, education and achievement-matched children with pneumonia were enrolled as controls.
Results: The mentality and behavior abnormal rates of the boys and girls suffering from CHD were significantly higher than those of controls (P < 0.

Objective: The present study was designed to investigate the influence of viral myocarditis on mental behavior of the children.
Methods: Mentality and behavior of the 178 children suffering from viral myocarditis were examined with Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) edited by Gong Yao-xian in 1986 and 104 sex, age, education and achievement-matched children with pneumonia or upper respiratory infection were enrolled as controls.
Results: The mentality and behavior of the children with viral myocarditis were distinctly abnormal.
