Lipid-protein relationships were studied in 155 men and women (mean age 48/9 +/ -0.6 years) with CHD (stable angina of effort) and MS. The frequency of concomitant arterial hypertension in men/women was 100%, aortic atherosclerosis 49.7/24.5%, athersclerosis of lower leg arteries 14.8/0%, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 27.7/5.2%, locomotor disorders 25.8/14.8%, hepato-biliary diseases 24.5/17.4%, gastro-duodenal disorders 16.8/3.2%, hepatic problems 10.5/26.7%. Heterogeneity of lipid-protein homeostasis was documented. Evaluation of dysproteinemia, besides dyslipidemia, is crucial for estimating activity of inflammation as acute or chronic. Patients with CHD and MS need therapy not only of these conditions but also of concomitant diseases taking into account their phases (exacerbation, remission) and results of dynamic observation. Such approach ensures prevention of progression of combined pathology and improvement of patients' quality of life.

Policy research on role of traditional medicine in emergency health system construction based on the PMC index model: evidence from China.
BMC Complement Med Ther
January 2025
Institute of Basic Research in Clinical Medicine, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, Beijing, 100700, China.
Background: The integration of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) into emergency health systems in China serves as a model for global policy development and refining the inclusion of traditional medicine in health emergencies.
Methods: This study investigated 13 public health emergency policies related to TCM released by the Chinese central government from 2003-2023. A PMC(Policy Modeling Consistency) index model was developed combining ROSTCM text mining analysis software.
Exploring the role of splicing in TP53 variant pathogenicity through predictions and minigene assays.

Population Health Program, QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute, Herston, QLD, 4006, Australia.
Background: TP53 variant classification benefits from the availability of large-scale functional data for missense variants generated using cDNA-based assays. However, absence of comprehensive splicing assay data for TP53 confounds the classification of the subset of predicted missense and synonymous variants that are also predicted to alter splicing. Our study aimed to generate and apply splicing assay data for a prioritised group of 59 TP53 predicted missense or synonymous variants that are also predicted to affect splicing by either SpliceAI or MaxEntScan.

BMC Med Educ
January 2025
Visual Thinking Strategies and an Independent Writer and Educator, Baltimore, MD, USA.
Background: Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) is an evidence-based pedagogical approach that uses art analysis and structured inquiry to enhance observation, critical thinking, and teamwork, especially in medical training for clinical skills development. This study aimed to compare the short-term and delayed follow-up effects of integrating Visual Thinking Strategies and Visual Thinking Activity (VTA) tasks based on the PRISM Model with Observation Exercises (OE) on medical students' observation skills, including the number of observations, number of words used, and time spent describing observations.
Method: This pre- and post-test experimental study with a control group was conducted among first-year medical students at Gonabad University of Medical Sciences during the 2023-2024 academic year.
Triglyceride-independent associations between circulating levels of apolipoprotein C-III and biomarkers of inflammation.
Cardiovasc Diabetol

Facultat de Medicina i Ciències de la Salut, Unitat de Recerca en Lípids i Arteriosclerosi, Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Reus, Spain.
Backgrounds And Aims: Preclinical studies suggest that a triglyceride (TG)-independent proinflammatory action of apolipoprotein C-III (apoCIII) exists. We aimed to investigate the relationship between circulating apoCIII levels and subclinical inflammation markers across different cohorts with distinctive inflammatory patterns: patients with metabolic disorders (MDs), patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and controls. Specifically, we assessed the associations of apoCIII with acute inflammation biomarkers (e.

Department of Laboratory, Tangdu Hospital, Fourth Military Medical University, Xi'an, 710032, China.
Background: Cardiac fibrosis plays a critical role in the progression of various forms of heart disease, significantly increasing the risk of sudden cardiac death. However, currently, there are no therapeutic strategies available to prevent the onset of cardiac fibrosis.
Methods And Results: Here, biomimetic ATP-responsive nanozymes based on genetically engineered cell membranes are adapted to specifically recognize activated cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) for the treatment of cardiac fibrosis.
