Lipid and Renal dysfunction in Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) patients occurs either due to multi-organ involvement or secondary to alcoholism. This study was conducted to evaluate the role of lipid and renal parameters in assessing the severity of progression of ALD. Sixty cases of ALD (two groups based on compensated and decompensated features) and thirty healthy controls for comparison were included. Lipid profile (Total Cholesterol, LDL, HDL and Triglycerides) and renal parameters (serum urea, creatinine and uric acid), total and direct bilirubin, total protein and albumin were measured using automated chemistry analyzer. There was a significant decrease in Total cholesterol ,LDL and HDL levels and increased triglycerides when compared to controls (mean of 128.4 ± 59 vs 155 ± 27.2, 77 ± 44.3 vs 97.4 ± 27.2, 28.3 ± 18 vs 39.5 ± 14.1 and 115.8 ± 70.4 vs 91 ± 38 mg/dL respectively). Lipid profile showed a linear decrease while progressing from compensated to decompensated ALD. Renal parameters revealed a statistically significant decrease in serum urea ,increased creatinine and uric acid levels when compared to controls (17.57±2.96 vs23.73±4.94, 1.12±0.55 vs0.88±0.16,6.60±1.32 vs 4.68±1.40 mg/dL respectively).Total cholesterol and HDL showed a linear decrease when ALD progresses. Serum uric acid showed an early increase in compensated stage of ALD. This study inferred that Total cholesterol, TGL, HDL and uric acid can be used for assessing the severity of progression of ALD.

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Tianjin Chest Hospital, Tianjin, China.
Background: Stroke is one of the severe complications following surgery in patients with acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). This study investigates the relationship between the preoperative serum uric acid to serum creatinine ratio (SUA/Scr) and postoperative stroke in patients undergoing total arch replacement with elephant trunk implantation for aortic dissection.
Methods: We included ATAAD patients who were hospitalized and underwent surgery between June 1, 2015 and June 1, 2023, with complete clinical information.

This study aims to assess the safety, efficacy, and mechanisms of Juanbilijieqing Fang in a mouse model of gouty arthritis. C57BL/6 mice were allocated into six groups: control, gouty arthritis model, and treatment groups receiving varying doses of Juanbilijieqing Fang (low, medium, high), along with a positive control group treated with febuxostat. Gouty arthritis was induced via MSU crystal injection following a high-fat diet.

Introduction: Temporomandibular disorders have a multifactorial etiology including biological, biomechanical, neuromuscular, and biopsychosocial factors. Current research on temporomandibular disorders focuses on identifying clinically relevant biomarkers thus creating a new way of thinking about this dysfunction. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between salivary/blood concentrations of oxidative/nitrosative stress biomarkers and biopsychosocial findings in patients with temporomandibular disorder-myofascial pain with referral.

Ingestion of fructose and galactose may result in elevated lactate concentrations in patients with glycogen storage disease type 1 (GSD1). In this randomized cross-over pilot study, 7 patients with GSD 1a (6) and GSD1b (1) orally consumed a common-size fructose and galactose from either 200 mL of skimmed milk, 200 mL juice or 200 mL water. This was given after a night with their usual dietary treatment using either cornstarch, glycosade or continuous feed.

Non-invasive continuous detection using tears or sweat as substitutes for blood samples has become an emerging method for real-time monitoring of human health. However, its development is limited by the low sample volume and low level of analytes. The simultaneous determination of multi-analytes with highly sensitive electrochemical sensing platforms has undoubtedly resulted in breakthrough innovations.
