Background: Rs1333040 is the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) related with coronary heart disease (CHD). The aim of the present study is to examine the association between rs1333040 polymorphism genotypes and CHD and to further explore the molecular mechanism in Chinese population.
Methods: A case-control study was used in this study, including 500 CHD patients and 500 control subjects. CHD patients and controls were distinguished by coronary angiography. Genotypes of rs1333040 were determined on the Agena MassARRAY system. Statistical analysis was conducted by SPSS (Ver 16.0) and plink (Ver. 1.07, Shaun Purcell).
Results: Fisher's exact test by plink indicated a significant difference in the allele distribution between cases and controls, the allele T may be associated with a higher risk of CHD ( = 0.012, odds ratio (OR) = 1.258). The serum levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) ( = 0.029) and Gensini score ( = 0.008) distributed differently in patients with various alleles. In the recessive model, the levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and apolipoprotein A (ApoA) were higher in the TC + CC genotype than in the TT genotype. The TC + TT genotype was found to be risk factors against CHD in a dominant model (OR = 1.278, = 0.014). The TC + TT genotype along with multiple risk factors significantly positively correlated with the risk of CHD.
Conclusions: The present study investigates the association between the rs1333040 polymorphism genotypes and CHD. The T allele of rs1333040 is the susceptibility site of CHD. The interaction between SNP and various risk factors plays an important role in the development of CHD.

Aim: To synthesise the evidence from clinical trials and observational studies using omics techniques to investigate the impact of diet and lifestyle factors on metabolite profile in pregnancy, and in the prevention and management of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
Materials And Methods: A systematic literature search was performed using PubMed, Ovid, CINAHL, and Web of Science databases in October 2023 and updated in September 2024. Inclusion criteria were randomised controlled trials (RCT) or non-RCTs in pregnant women with or without GDM, that measured diet and lifestyle factors, and which applied post-transcriptional omics approaches.

Recently, it has been realized that immune processes participate in the pathogenesis of human cancers. A large number of genetic polymorphisms in immune-related genes have been extensively examined for their roles in the susceptibility of gastric cancer (GC) and colorectal cancer (CRC), including IL4 gene rs2070874, IL4RA gene rs1801275, IL18 gene rs187238, IL18RAP gene rs917997, IL17A gene rs8193036, IL23R gene rs1884444 and IL23R gene rs10889677. However, there is no consistent conclusion, which calls for further research.

Objective: To evaluate the incidence of thin catheter surfactant administration (TCA) failure and compare short and long-term neonatal outcomes who failed TCA or did not.
Design: Single-center retrospective cohort study. Infants between 25 and 30 weeks of gestational age with respiratory distress syndrome and receiving 200 mg/kg poractant alfa via thin catheter administration were included.

Background: Recent Australian trends indicate that shave biopsies for diagnosing lesions suspicious of melanoma are increasing, yet reasons for this remain relatively unknown. We sought to understand which factors influence Australian clinicians' use of shave biopsy for managing thin lesions suspicious of melanoma in sites of low cosmetic sensitivity.
Methods: We used a convergent, exploratory mixed-methods design, with a cross-sectional online survey (n = 59) and semi-structured qualitative interviews (n = 15).

Background: Nearly 25% of opioid-related deaths are from prescribed opioids, and the exacerbation of the opioid epidemic by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic underscores the urgent need to address superfluous prescribing. Therefore, we sought to align local opioid prescribing practices with national guidelines in postoperative non-metastatic breast cancer patients.
Methods: A single-institution analysis included non-metastatic breast surgery patients treated between April 2020 and July 2021.
