Hub gene ELK3-mediated reprogramming lipid metabolism regulates phenotypic switching of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells to develop pulmonary arterial hypertension induced by PM2.5
10-12-2023Fine particulate matter (PM(2.5)) as an environmental pollutant is related with respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) was characterized by incremental pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary arterial remodeling, leading to right ventricular hypertrophy, and finally cardiac failure and death. The adverse effects on pulmonary artery and the molecular biological mechanism underlying PM(2.5)-caused PAH has not been elaborated clearly. In the current study,...

Global burden of vaccine-associated anaphylaxis and their related vaccines, 1967-2023: A comprehensive analysis of the international pharmacovigilance database
10-12-2023CONCLUSIONS: Although multiple vaccines are associated with various spectra and risks of anaphylaxis, clinicians should recognize the possibility of anaphylaxis occurring with all vaccines, particularly the COVID-19 mRNA and inactivated whole-virus COVID-19 vaccines, and consider the risk factors associated with vaccine anaphylaxis reports. Further studies are warranted to identify better ways of preventing vaccine-associated anaphylaxis.

No correlation between carotid intima-media thickness and long-term glycemic control in individuals with type 1 diabetes
10-12-2023CONCLUSIONS: We observed no correlation between long-term blood glucose control and CIMT in individuals with T1D. This finding suggests that the development of early signs of macrovascular atherosclerosis is not strongly affected by the glycemic control in people with T1D.

METABOLIC SYNDROME AND ASSOCIATED RISK FACTORS AMONG SECONDARY SCHOOL ADOLESCENTS IN NORTHEAST NIGERIA
10-12-2023CONCLUSION: This study showed that the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was low in the overall study population but high among centrally obese adolescents. Metabolic syndrome occurred in normal weight and underweight participants. Low HDL-C was the commonest risk factor for metabolic syndrome and lifestyle and family medical history were not associated with metabolic syndrome.

Evaluation of discontinuation for adverse events of JAK inhibitors and bDMARDs in an international collaboration of rheumatoid arthritis registers (the 'JAK-pot' study)
10-12-2023CONCLUSION: While JAKi overall were not associated with more treatment discontinuations for AEs, subgroup analyses suggest varying patterns with specific JAKi, such as tofacitinib, compared with TNFi. However, these observations should be interpreted cautiously, given the observational study design.
