Cardiovascular diseases and allergic diseases occur commonly in developed countries. They lead to serious health complications and significantly impair the quality of life. Both types of diseases are characterized by excessive inflammatory processes. Recent studies suggest a link between allergy and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, resulting from overactivity of the immune system in allergic diseases and increased synthesis of proinflammatory mediators, which has been well documented in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The aim of this article is to present current data on the role of proinflammatory factors in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases and allergies and on potential relationship between these disorders.

Liver transplantation for homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia: a retrospective analysis from Chinese experience.
Orphanet J Rare Dis
January 2025
Department of Critical Liver Diseases, Liver Research Center, Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Background: Homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia (HoFH) increases risk of premature cardiovascular events and cardiac death. In severe cases of HoFH, clinical signs and symptoms cannot be controlled well by non-surgical treatments, liver transplantation (LT) currently represents the viable option.
Method: To assess the clinical efficacy, prognosis, and optimal timing of LT for HoFH, a retrospective analysis was conducted on the preoperative, surgical conditions, and postoperative follow-up of children who received an LT for HoFH at the Beijing Friendship Hospital over the period from December 2014 to August 2022.
Association between domain-specific physical activity and triglyceride‑glucose (TyG) index among US adults: Evidence from NHANES 2007-2018.
BMC Public Health
January 2025
Department of Neurology, Jinshan Hospital, Fudan University, 1508 Longhang Road, Jinshan District, Shanghai, China, 201508.
Objectives: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is not only a reliable marker for insulin resistance, but also has broad applications in assessing the risk of various diseases, including cardiovascular disease, stroke, depression, and Alzheimer's disease. The study aims to investigate the relationship between domain-specific moderate- or vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA) and TyG index among US adults.
Methods: The participants from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2007-2018) were included.
Predicting the risk of hematoma expansion in acute intracerebral hemorrhage: the GIVE score.
BMC Neurol
January 2025
Department of Neurology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, NO1 Youyi Road, Yuzhong District, Chongqing, 400016, China.
Background: Numerous noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) markers have been reported and validated as effective predictors of hematoma expansion (HE). Our objective was to develop and validate a score based on NCCT markers and clinical characteristics to predict risk of HE in acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients.
Methods: We prospectively collected spontaneous ICH patients at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University to form the development cohort (n = 395) and at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University to establish the validation cohort (n = 139).
Association between postoperative thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications and clinical outcomes after surgery for chronic subdural hematoma in patients with anticoagulation therapy for atrial fibrillation.
Acta Neurochir (Wien)
January 2025
Department of Neurosurgery, Helsinki University Hospital and University of Helsinki, Haartmaninkatu 4, Po Box 320, 00029 HUS, Helsinki, Finland.
Purpose: A substantial proportion of patients undergoing surgery for chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) use anticoagulation medication due to atrial fibrillation (AF). We assessed the risk of postoperative thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications in CSDH surgery patients with a history of anticoagulation for AF and their association with outcome.
Methods: This posthoc analysis of a nationwide multicenter randomized controlled trial conducted during 2020-2022 included CSDH patients undergoing surgery with a history of preoperative anticoagulation use for AF.
Association between early age body mass index and the risk of adulthood cardiovascular diseases: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Int J Obes (Lond)
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Peking University First Hospital, Beijing, China.
Background: Several studies have attempted to demonstrate the associations between body mass index (BMI) in early age and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, their findings were inconsistent and inconclusive, indicating the need for further investigation.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies focusing on BMI in early age (age from 2 to 22) in relation to CVDs in adulthood, including coronary artery disease (CHD), ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, myocardial infarction and heart failure.
