Sixteen adult hypertensive patients of both sexes, classified as having 'medium' (total lipid profile 240-300 mg dl(-1)), and 'high' (total lipid profile >300 mg dl(-1)) baseline values, underwent serum lipids, lipoproteins and plasma fibrinolytic parameters evaluations after 3 months of cilnidipine treatment. Patients with 'medium baseline values' did not have any change in lipids, lipoproteins and fibrinolytic parameters while patients with 'high baseline values' had beneficial lipid and lipoprotein changes [decreases in total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), very low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (VLDLC) and increases in high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDLC), and HDLC/TC ratio] after cilnidipine treatment. Changes in lipids were negatively associated with fibrinolysis for the patients with 'medium baseline values' and positively associated in patients with 'high baseline values' after cilnidipine treatment. Reduction in blood pressure was related to fibrinolysis and reduced risk of coronary heart disease in the patients with 'high baseline values' after cilnidipine therapy. These results show that during cilnidipine treatment, the baseline lipid profile levels of the patients may influence the lipid altering actions as well as the interaction between lipids and fibrinolysis.

The Prognostic Value of Peripheral Blood Inflammatory Markers in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Treated with Lenvatinib Combined with PD-1 Inhibitors.
J Hepatocell Carcinoma
January 2025
National Cancer Center/National Clinical Research Center for Cancer/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, 100021, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: To investigate the prognostic value of inflammatory indexes based on peripheral blood cells in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients treated with Lenvatinib combined with PD-1 inhibitors.
Methods: This study retrospectively collected baseline inflammatory indexes from HCC patients received Lenvatinib and PD-1 inhibitor-based combination therapy at the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between October 2018 and October 2021. The optimal threshold values for inflammatory indexes determined using X-tile.
Background: Children who suffer from long-term illnesses, including asthma, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, or epilepsy, sometimes struggle to manage their ailments, which affects their quality of life and how often they use healthcare services.
Objective: This study aimed to explore comprehensive long-term management strategies for children with asthma, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, and epilepsy, with a focus on enhancing quality of life and reducing hospital admissions.
Methodology: A prospective cohort research was conducted involving 480 children, divided into four groups: 120 children with asthma, 120 children with cystic fibrosis, 120 children with diabetes, and 120 children with epilepsy.
A study to compare and correlate the effect of a yogic lifestyle on Framingham, Q RISK 3, and WHO risk scores among high-risk cardiovascular subjects.

Department of Physiology, Rajasthan University of Health Sciences, Jaipur, India.
Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels. Yoga is a low-cost, easily accessible lifestyle modification program that holds as an approach to decreasing cardiometabolic risk factors and increasing exercise self-efficacy among high-risk subjects. This study aimed to assess the impact of the yogic lifestyle (including diet) on cardiovascular risk scores by using the Framingham (FRS), QRISK3 score, and World Health Organization (WHO) CVD risk prediction charts at baseline, three months, and six months.

Institute of Virology, Medical Faculty, University Hospital Düsseldorf, Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf, Düsseldorf, Germany.
Background: The emergence of novel SARS-CoV-2 variants challenges immunity, particularly among immunocompromised kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). To address this, vaccines have been adjusted to circulating variants. Despite intensive vaccination efforts, SARS-CoV-2 infections surged among KTRs during the Omicron wave, enabling a direct comparison of variant-specific immunity following-vaccination against Omicron BA.

Rehabilitation Center, The First Rehabilitation Hospital in Shanghai, Shanghai, China.
Background: Telerehabilitation is gaining popularity in European and American countries, but whether it can be successfully implemented in China still lacks support from clinical studies.
Objective: This trial aimed to determine if a home-based telerehabilitation method is clinically noninferior to standard in-hospital face-to-face rehabilitation for elderly patients with total hip arthroplasty (THA) in China.
Methods: This multicenter randomized controlled trial was conducted from January 2021 to June 2022 at The First Rehabilitation Hospital in Shanghai, Shanghai Jiao Tong University affiliated Sixth People's Hospital and Shanghai Tongji University affiliated Tenth People's Hospital.
