The effects of serum iron level without anemia on long-term prognosis of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) complicated with chronic heart failure (CHF) is still unclear. The objective of this study was to explore the effects of serum iron level without anemia on long-term prognosis of patients with CHD complicated with CHF. In this retrospective cohort study, 221 patients with CHD complicated with CHF were consecutively investigated. These patients were divided into three groups according to the tertiles of the serum iron level: low-iron group (n = 71), medium-iron group (n = 76) and high-iron group (n = 74). The overall serum iron without anemia was 13.0 ± 5.50 μmol/L and serum iron in each group was 7.58 ± 1.63 μmol/L, 11.94 ± 1.79 μmol/L, and 19.37 ± 3.81 μmol/L, respectively. Composite endpoint events were composed of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), including recurrent heart failure, all-cause death, acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and ischemic stroke. The median follow-up duration was 239 days. After adjusting relevant confounding risk factors, we found that excessively low or high serum iron level is correlated to the MACCE in patients with CHD complicated with CHF and that the prognosis of patients with excessively high serum iron level is poorer than that of patients with excessively low serum iron level. We further revealed the effect of serum iron level on MACCE is U-shaped, but not linear relationship. Sensitivity analysis showed that the correlation between serum iron level and MACCE is stable. In addition, according to the test for interaction, the variables that modify the effect including CRP (P for interaction < 0.0001), diuretics (P for interaction = 0.0212) and antiplatelet drugs (P for interaction = 0.0167). This study showed that excessively low or high serum iron level without anemia is an independent risk factor of MACCE in patients with CHD complicating with CHF.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by chronic inflammation in joints. Obesity, stress, being women, and dietary pattern are important in pathogenesis. The joint damage in RA is accelerated by oxidative stress.

Introduction: Observational studies have found that higher iron levels are associated with an increased risk of diabetes mellitus. Given the limitations of causal inferences from observational studies and the expensive and time-consuming nature of randomized controlled trials, Mendelian randomization analysis presents a reasonable alternative to study causal relationships. Previous MR analyses studying iron levels and diabetes have used indirect markers of iron levels, such as serum ferritin, and found conflicting results.

Background: In the intensive care unit (ICU), the incidence of iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) is relatively high and is associated with various adverse clinical outcomes. Therefore, it is crucial to identify simple and practical indicators to assess the mortality risk in ICU patients with IDA. This study aims to investigate the relationship between the Neutrophil Percentage-to-Albumin Ratio (NPAR) levels in patients with IDA in the ICU and their all-cause mortality at 30 and 365 days.

Objectives: Pica is a non-nutritive eating behavior. The potential impact of pica on oral health and the association between pica and anemia are understudied. We examined the current evidence on the relationship between pica practices, anemia, and oral health outcomes.

Objective: Post-resuscitation brain injury is a common sequela after cardiac arrest (CA). Increasing sirtuin1 (SIRT1) has been involved in neuroprotection in oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) neurons, and we investigated its mechanism in post-cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) rat brain injury by mediating p65 deacetylation modification to mediate hippocampal neuronal ferroptosis.
Methods: Sprague-Dawley rat CA/CPR model was established and treated with Ad-SIRT1 and Ad-GFP adenovirus vectors, or Erastin.
