Association between non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHHR) with depressive symptoms: recent findings from NHANES 2005-2018.

Background: The ratio of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (NHHR) index is a relatively new composite lipid index, the relationship between NHHR and depression is unclear from the current study. The primary aim of our study was to examine the association between the prevalence of depression and NHHR in a US population.

Methods: The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) provided the data for our investigation from 2005 to 2018.

[Effects of yangxin decoction on metabolomics of patients with unstable angina].

Objective: To primarily seek for unstable angina (UA) correlated metabolic markers and to observe the effects of Yangxin Decoction on the plasma metabolism of UA patients.

Methods: Ten UA patients from clinics of No. 2 Circulation Department, First Affiliated Hospital of Heilongjiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from November 2009 to December 2010 were recruited as the treatment group.

[Comparison of clinical efficacies for treatment of 93 patients with chronic pelvic inflammation by Chinese composite yanting decoction medicated via two different paths].

Objective: To compare the clinical efficacies of Chinese composite Yanting Decoction medicated via two different paths (via oral and via retention enema) in treating chronic pelvic inflammation.

Methods: Adopting the randomized multicentered parallel contrast principle, 93 patients were assigned to the retention enema (RE) group (47 cases) and the oral medicated (OM) group (46 cases) at random, Yanting Decoction was administered via respective paths for 10 days as one course. The changes of syndromes (qi-stagnance and blood stasis) and local signs were observed before and after treatment.
