Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the association between triglyceride glucose index-waist circumference (TyG-WC) and the risk of first myocardial infarction (MI) in Chinese hypertensive patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA).
Methods: This study was an observational cohort study. A total of 2224 Chinese hypertensive patients with OSA without a history of MI were included in this study. Hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated using multivariable Cox proportion hazard models. A generalized additive model was used to identify nonlinear relationships. Additionally, we performed hierarchical analysis and test for interaction.
Results: During a median follow-up of 7.15 years, 85 incidents of MI developed. Overall, there was a positive association between TyG-WC and the risk of first MI. In the multivariable-adjusted model, the risk of MI increased with quartiles of the TyG-WC, the HR in quartile 4 versus quartile 1 was 4.29. A generalized additive model and a smooth curve fitting showed that there existed a similar J-shaped association between TyG-WC and the risk of first MI, with an inflection point at about 785.
Conclusion: Elevated levels of the baseline TyG-WC are associated with an increased risk of first MI. This finding indicates that the TyG-WC might be useful to identify the high risk of first MI in Chinese hypertensive patients with OSA.

To synthesize available evidence on predictive factors associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) flares during pregnancy, we systematically searched MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library through January 2024 for observational studies on risk and protective factors of SLE flares during pregnancy. Odds ratios (OR) and mean differences (MD), as well as their 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to quantify effect sizes. We employed fixed-effect or random-effect models based on heterogeneity assessments (I statistics).

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a syndrome characterized by increased pulmonary vascular resistance and elevated pulmonary artery pressure, ultimately leading to right heart failure and even death. Increasing evidence implicates the fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) in various metabolic and inflammatory pathways; however, its role in pulmonary endothelial function and PAH remains largely unexplored. In this study, we examined the effects of endothelial cell-specific FTO knockout on PAH development.

This study aims to evaluate the bidirectional relationship between family functioning and depressive symptoms, considering life satisfaction as a potential mediator and gender, age and income as a moderator of these associations. A longitudinal study was conducted with 708 Chinese adults with diabetes and hypertension (51.6% women; mean age: 64.

Background: Early diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is crucial for timely intervention to delay disease progression and improve patient outcomes. However, data for clinical characteristics of Chinese patients with undiagnosed, early-stage CKD are lacking.
Methods: REVEAL-CKD is a multinational, observational study using real-world data in selected countries to describe factors associated with undiagnosed stage 3 CKD, time to diagnosis, and CKD management post diagnosis.

Objective: This study focuses on the development and evaluation of nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) loaded with aloperine as a potential therapeutic approach for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Methods: The NLCs were designed to enhance the solubility, stability, and bioavailability of aloperine, a compound with vasodilatory and anti-inflammatory properties. Through a series of experiments including single-factor experimentation, transmission electron microscopy, high-performance liquid chromatography, in vivo pharmacokinetics, and tissue distribution studies, we assessed the physicochemical properties, drug release profiles, and in vitro and in vivo performance of this novel nanocarrier.
