To systematically evaluate the risks of cardiocerebral vascular events in patients with primary biliary cholangitis(PBC). Methods We carried out a Meta analysis by RevMan 5.3 software to investigate literatureon the risk of cardiocerebral vascular events in patients with PBC and controls. Results Compared with non-PBC controls,PBC patients had significantly higher risk of coronary events(=1.56,=0.0002);however,the risk of cerebrovascular events showed no significant difference between these two groups(=1.01,=0.94).Subgroup analysis demonstrated a significantly lower risk of transient ischemic attack or carotid stenosis in PBC patients(=0.63,=0.03);however,there was no significant difference in the risk of stroke(=1.11,=0.40). Conclusion Patients with PBC have an increased risk of coronary events but may have a lower risk of transient ischemic attack or carotid stenosis.

Cardio-cerebral vascular diseases due to atherosclerosis are still the leading cause of death worldwide. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and apolipoprotein B have been identified as the primary factors responsible for the atherosclerotic process, with a causal effect. Many drugs aimed at reducing LDL-C levels are already on the market, acting in different ways in terms of mechanism of action, efficacy, and safety.

Article Synopsis
- Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) have high mortality rates with limited treatment options, prompting research into human placental mesenchymal stem cells (hPMSCs) as a potential remedy.
- The study involved inducing ALI in mice using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and administering hPMSCs, showing improved lung health and reduced inflammation through changes in key inflammatory markers.
- Findings indicated that the presence of the ACE2 gene is vital for the therapeutic effects of hPMSCs, suggesting a significant role in repairing lung tissue and providing a basis for future clinical treatments for ALI.
The impact of depression on platelet activation, cardiocerebral vascular events and arteriovenous fistula dysfunction in patients undergoing haemodialysis.

Article Synopsis
- Depression is prevalent among patients on maintenance haemodialysis (MHD), affecting 36.01% of the studied group, and is linked to worse health outcomes.
- Higher depression scores correlate with an increased risk of cardiocerebral vascular events (CCVE) and dysfunction in arteriovenous fistula (DAVF).
- Platelet activity, assessed by plasma platelet distribution width (PDW), appears to mediate this risk, suggesting that monitoring PDW could help predict cardiovascular complications in depressed MHD patients.
