Identifying joint association between body fat distribution with high blood pressure among 7 ∼ 17 years using the BKMR model: findings from a cross-sectional study in China by Manman Chen, Xijie Wang, Yanhui Li, Di Gao, Ying Ma, Tao Ma, Yi Zhang, Li Chen, Jieyu Liu, Qi Ma, Mengjie Cui, Xinxin Wang, Tongjun Guo, Wen Yuan, Yanhui Dong, Jun Ma

“…Conclusions Fat distribution of various body parts have inconsistent roles and directions in their association with HBP risk in children of different sex and weight status. We recommend that children of different sexes and weight statuses be provided with body-part-specific exercise recommendations for optimal chronic disease prevention and control benefits.…”

Diversity and Complexity of CTXΦ and Pre-CTXΦ Families in <em>Vibrio cholerae</em> from Seventh Pandemic by Xiaorui Li, Yu Han, Wenxuan Zhao, Yue Xiao, Siyu Huang, Zhenpeng Li, Fenxia Fan, Weili Liang, Biao Kan

“…In this study, 21 <i>V. cholerae</i> strains, which were shown to carry the CTXΦ/pre-CTXΦ prophages as opposed to typical CTX^ETΦ-RS1 structure, were selected from approximately 1000 strains with diverse genomes. We identified two CTXΦ members and six pre-CTXΦ members with distinct <i>rstR</i> alleles, revealing complex chromosomal DNA integration patterns and arrangements of different prophages in these strains. …”

Association between left ventricular reverse remodelling and the B-type natriuretic peptide–cGMP cascade after anterior acute myocardial infarction by Satoshi Yasuda, Kunihiro Nishimura, Kensuke Takagi, Hiroyuki Takahama, Naoto Minamino, Masashi Fujino, Satoshi Honda, Yasuhide Asaumi, Yu Kataoka, Fumiyuki Otsuka, Soshiro Ogata, Teruo Noguchi, Takahiro Nakashima, Kenichiro Sawada, Yoshiaki Morita, Kazuhiro Nakao, Hiroyuki Miura, Takamasa Iwai, Marina Arai, Eri Kiyoshige, Kota Murai, Hideo Matama, Shuichi Yoneda

“…Background The role of cyclic guanosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (cGMP) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is not well understood despite its significance as a second messenger of natriuretic peptides (NPs) in cardiovascular disease. We investigated the association between the NP-cGMP cascade and left ventricular reverse remodelling (LVRR) in anterior AMI.Methods 67 patients with their first anterior AMI (median age, 64 years; male, 76%) underwent prospective evaluation of plasma concentrations of the molecular forms of A-type and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and cGMP from immediately after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) to 10 months post-AMI. …”
