AI Article Synopsis
- - This study examined the relationship between serum uric acid (SUA) levels and high blood pressure among a diverse group of 27,075 patients in East China, focusing on differences between males and females.
- - Findings showed that males had higher SUA levels than females, with elevated SUA being a strong risk factor for hypertension in men, while in women, it was linked to both hypertension and diabetes.
- - The research concluded that SUA is an independent risk factor for high blood pressure in men, highlighting important sex-specific differences in this correlation.
Article Abstract
Background: This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the correlation between serum uric acid (SUA) levels and the incidence of sex-specific high blood pressure in East China.
Methods: A total of 27,075 patients (14,399 males and 12,676 females) were enrolled in this study. The participants were grouped based on their SUA levels. Thereafter, the quartile (Q1-Q4) nodes of male SUA and female SUA were calculated based on the differences in the mean values of male and female SUA levels. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated to evaluate the correlation between SUA and high blood pressure incidence.
Results: SUA expression levels were higher in males than in females. High SUA levels in males were positively correlated with hypertension. In females, high SUA levels were positively correlated with both hypertension and diabetes. After adjusting for confounding risk factors, SUA was confirmed as an independent risk factor for high blood pressure among males. Additionally, significant differences were observed between SUA and high blood pressure in body mass index (BMI) as well as diabetes subgroup analysis among males. There was a sex-specific correlation between SUA, high diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and high systolic blood pressure (SBP). Finally, there was a linear dose-response relationship between SUA and high blood pressure in males.
Conclusion: SUA is an independent risk factor for the incidence of high blood pressure after adjustment for other potential confounding risk factors in males. Sex-specific differences were also observed between SUA levels and high DBP or SBP.

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a major health concern globally, contributing to a considerable disease burden. However, few studies have considered long-term cumulative blood pressure (cBP) exposure in middle-aged and older population in China. The aim of this study was to investigate whether long-term cBP was associated with subsequent cardiovascular outcomes among participants without CVD at baseline in Chinese over 45 years old.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a term used to describe a complex heterogenous group of conditions defined by a mean pulmonary arterial pressure of more than 20 mmHg at rest on right-heart catheterization. PH in pregnancy is associated with high rates of maternal morbidity and mortality and poor fetal outcomes. Currently, pregnancy in these women is classified as modified WHO class IV (pregnancy contraindicated).

Background: Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) central nervous system infection is typically observed in immunocompromised patients, and there is a lack of studies involving large samples of non-immunocompromised individuals. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed 108 non-immunocompromised patients diagnosed with VZV central nervous system infection.
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Neurology, Affiliated Nanjing Brain Hospital, Nanjing Medical University, China.
Background And Aims: Catheter-based renal denervation (RDN) is a safe and effective alternative treatment for hypertension. However, data on patient preferences are limited. This study sought to delineate preferences for RDN among Veterans with difficult-to-control hypertension at an urban VA Medical Center with the goal of optimizing management and referral practices in hypertensive Veterans.
