Aim. To investigate the characteristic of hypertriglyceridemic- (HTG-) induced pancreatitis (HTG pancreatitis). Methods. We reviewed 126 cases of HTG pancreatitis and 168 cases of biliary pancreatitis as control. Results. The HTG group mean age was younger than biliary group. The number of females was a little higher than males in both groups. There were 18 cases that were recurrent in HTG group and 11 in billiary group. The mean hospitalization times were 13.7 ± 2.6 and 11.2 ± 2.3 days in two groups. Six patients received apheresis in HTG group. The proportion of severe AP was 31.0% and 26.2%, mortality 1.6% and 1.2%, comorbidity of diabetes mellitus (DM) 20.6% and 6.5% in two groups. The number of complications of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, sepsis, and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) in HTG group and biliary group was 1, 1, and 2 versus 4, 12, and 4. Conclusions. The proportion of recurrent and severe AP and comorbidity of DM of HTG group was higher than billiary group. The proportion of the complications of GI bleeding, sepsis, and MODS of HTG group was less than biliary group. Apheresis could effectively reduce serum TG levels soon. There was no significant difference of the mortality between two groups.

The Acute Effects Of Hip Thrust and Glute Bridge Exercises With Different Loads on Sprint Performance and Horizontal Force-Velocity Profile in Adolescent Soccer Players: A Post-Activation Performance Enhancement Approach.

This study examines the acute effects of post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) with different loads (84% and 60% 1-RM) and exercises (hip thrust; HT and glute bridge; GB) on sprint performance (SP) and horizontal force-velocity (HF-V) profile components in adolescent male soccer players. The participants were randomly assigned to three groups: hip thrust group (HTG; n = 13), glute bridge group (GBG; n = 13), and control group (CG; n = 14). Sprint tests at distances of 10, 20, and 30 m were conducted pre-PAPE and post-PAPE protocols with a 7 min rest period.

Objectives: Hypertriglyceridemia-associated acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) is one of the most common etiologies of acute pancreatitis (AP) worldwide. Compared to other etiologies, patients with HTG-AP may develop more severe AP, but previous studies yielded controversial conclusion due to the lack of adequate adjustment for the confounders. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the possibility and risk factors of developing severe AP in HTG-AP.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of graphene oxide (GO) and hydrothermal aging on the biaxial flexural strength (BFS) and translucency (TP) of ultrathin monolithic zirconia with different yttria concentrations.
Methods: Disc shaped specimens (n = 120) were milled using zirconia blocks (YZ-HT [HT], YZ-ST [ST], and YZ-XT [XT]) with a diameter of 15.0 mm and a thickness of 0.
Influence of patient factors on target plasma volume treated attainment rate during double filtration plasmapheresis in patients with hypertriglyceridemic acute pancreatitis.

Article Synopsis
- This study explores factors that influence how well patients with hypertriglyceridemic pancreatitis (HTG-AP) reach their targeted plasma volume during treatment with double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP).
- A total of 82 patients were analyzed, with significant differences in factors like heart rate and triglyceride levels found between groups classified as 'up-to-scratch' versus 'non-scratch'.
- Higher levels of triglycerides and fibrinogen were identified as independent risk factors, with an increase in triglycerides leading to a 5% greater chance of not reaching plasma goals, and each rise in fibrinogen increasing that risk by 74%.
Comparison of baseline clinical characteristics and patterns of visual field defects between high-tension and normal-tension glaucoma.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the clinical characteristics and visual field defects between high-tension glaucoma (HTG) and normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) among patients in the LiGHT China trial.
- A total of 622 patients with open-angle glaucoma were analyzed, revealing that NTG patients tended to be older, predominantly female, and had higher rates of hypertension and ischaemic heart disease compared to HTG patients.
- While both groups showed similar severity in overall visual field defects, NTG exhibited notably greater asymmetry in visual field loss, which was correlated with fluctuations in daytime intraocular pressure.
