Objective: To investigate the impact of different levels of systolic blood pressure on brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV).

Methods: A total of 5 852 participants was selected with stratified random sampling from the 101 510 workers of Tangshan Kailuan Company who had undergone a physical check-up program. 5 222 of them with integral data were recruited into this survey. According to SBP collected during the 2010-2011 health examination program, the population under observation was divided into four groups:optimal SBP(SBP < 120 mmHg), high-normal blood pressure I period (120 mmHg ≤ SBP < 130 mmHg), high-normal blood pressure II period (130 mmHg ≤ SBP < 140 mmHg)and hypertension (SBP ≥ 140 mmHg or SBP < 140 mmHg but antihypertensive drug user). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influence of different levels of systolic blood pressure on baPWV.

Results: 1) There were 3 132 males and 2 090 females in all the 5 222 participants with an average age of 55.1 years old. Their mean of baPWV was (1 587.57 ± 400.71) cm/s, with the detection rates as 62% (baPWV ≥ 1 400 cm/s). 2)The means of baPWV for the above groups of SBP were 1 322.19, 1 456.27, 1 544.78 and 1 827.77 cm/s, respectively, with detection rates of baPWV ≥ 1 400 cm/s as 26.4% , 49.3% , 64.2% and 88.3% , respectively. 3) Results from the Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that β of SBP was 0.40, only ranking second, on age (0.48). 4) Data from the Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age, gender and other risk factors, when compared to optimal SBP, factors as high-normal blood pressure I period, high-normal blood pressure II period and hypertension were risk factors for increasing baPWV, with OR values as 2.70 (95% CI:2.20-3.32), 4.56(95% CI: 3.67-5.67) and 13.51 (95% CI:10.87-16.78), respectively.

Conclusion: Higher SBP seemed an independent risk factor for the increase of baPWV.

Fluid administration is widely used to treat hypotension in patients undergoing veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). However, excessive fluid administration may lead to fluid overload can aggravate acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and increase patient mortality, predicting fluid responsiveness is of great significance for VV-ECMO patients. This prospective single-center study was conducted in a medical intensive care unit (ICU) and finally included 51 VV-ECMO patients with ARDS in the prone position (PP).

Effect of heart rate on B-type natriuretic peptide in sinus rhythm.

B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels accurately reflect the degree of cardiac overload in heart failure. Considering cardiac morphology and intracardiac pressure, including the left ventricular end-systolic volume index (LVESVI) and left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI), is essential for cardiac overload assessment. These indexes influence plasma BNP levels, and high heart rate is likely associated with cardiac morphology.

Impact of blood flow restriction intensity on pain perception and muscle recovery post-eccentric exercise.

Background: Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is a well-established phenomenon characterized by ultrastructural muscle damage that typically develops following unfamiliar or high-intensity exercise. DOMS manifests with a constellation of symptoms, including muscle tenderness, stiffness, edema, mechanical hyperalgesia, and a reduced range of joint motion. In recent years, the application of blood flow restriction (BFR) has garnered attention for its potential impact on DOMS.

Introduction: The efficacy of lipoprotein apheresis (LA) in peripheral arterial disease (PAD) has been primarily attributed to its anti-atherosclerotic effects through the adsorption of lipoproteins. However, the other potential effects of LA remain unknown. We evaluated changes in serum profiles before and after LA using a comprehensive analysis to explore the underlying mechanism.

Background: Previous research in adults has suggested that healthy dietary patterns could be an effective strategy for blood pressure (BP) control. However, during adolescence, the scientific literature examining this relationship is scarce and controversial since inverse and null associations have been reported. Thus, the aim of our study was to analyze the relationship between the level of adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD) and consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables at baseline with changes in BP over a two-year period during adolescence.
