Prognostic impact of coronary microvascular dysfunction assessed by AMR in acute coronary syndrome patients with chronic kidney disease by Ziyu Guo, Yike Li, Qiang Chen, Jingang Zheng, Jingang Zheng

“…During a median follow-up of 23.0 months, higher prevalence rate of MACEs (28.3% vs. 15.1%, P = 0.003) and death (20.2% vs. 4.1%, P = 0.001) were observed in the CMD group. In multivariate Cox regression analysis, patients in the group of CMD had a 1.843 times higher hazard ratio (HR) for developing MACEs (HR: 1.843, 95% CI: 1.071–3.174, P = 0.027) and 5.325 times higher HR for developing death (HR: 5.325, 95% CI: 1.979–14.327, P &lt; 0.001) for every 10 mmHg*s/m increment in AMR. …”

The Bile Acid Metabolism of Intestinal Microorganisms Mediates the Effect of Different Protein Sources on Muscle Protein Deposition in <i>Procambarus clarkii</i> by Xiaodi Xu, Xiaochuan Zheng, Qunlan Zhou, Cunxin Sun, Aimin Wang, Aimin Zhu, Yuanyuan Zhang, Bo Liu

“…Furthermore, protein sources shaped differential intestinal microbiota composition and microbial metabolites profiles, as evidenced by a significant decrease in g_<i>Bacteroides</i> (<i>p</i> = 0.030), and a significant increase in taurochenodeoxycholic acid (TCDCA) in PP group (<i>p</i> = 0.027). A significant correlation was further established by Pearson correlation analysis between the g_<i>Bacteroides</i>, TCDCA, and genes involved in the <i>MSTN</i>-mediated protein deposition pathway (<i>p</i> < 0.05). …”
