Background: LDL receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5) triggers the canonical Wnt pathway which participates in cell function regulation, including lipoprotein metabolism, macrophage mobility and phagocytosis, but its function in the heart is unknown. Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate LRP5 and the canonical Wnt signalling pathway in myocardial injury after acute-myocardial infarction...

BACKGROUND Several meta-analyses have indicated that periodontal disease (PD) are related to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, the association between PD and myocardial infarction (MI) remains controversial. Here we aimed to assess the association between PD and MI by meta-analysis of observational studies. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library were searched through July, 201...

We prove that a torsion group G with all subgroups subnormal is a nilpotent group or G = N(A1×· · ·×An) is a product of a normal nilpotent subgroup N and pi -subgroups Ai , where Ai = A (i) 1 · · ·A (i) mi G , A (i) j is a Heineken–Mohamed type group, and p1, . . . , pn are pairwise distinct primes (n ≥ 1; i = 1, . . . , n; j = 1, . . . ,mi and mi are positive integers).

OBJECTIVE A meta-analysis of over 25 years of research into the relationship between post-myocardial infarction (MI) depression and cardiac prognosis was conducted to investigate changes in this association over time and to investigate subgroup effects. METHOD A systematic literature search was performed (Medline, Embase and PsycINFO; 1975–2011) without language restrictions. Studies investig...

OBJECTIVE We performed a systematic meta-analysis to assess the therapeutic effects of progenitor cell therapy after myocardial infarction (MI). RESEARCH DESIGN/METHODS Randomized controlled trials of progenitor cell therapy for MI were extracted from MEDLINE. We performed a prospective comparison of progenitor cell therapy versus placebo after acute or chronic MI, with changes in left ventri...

BACKGROUND Results from randomized controlled trials (RCT) concerning cardiac and renal effect of remote ischemic preconditioning(RIPC) in patients with stable coronary artery disease(CAD) are inconsistent. The aim of this study was to explore whether RIPC reduce cardiac and renal events after elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS AND RESULTS RCTs with data on cardiac or ...

Background: This study evaluated the nutritional status, prooxidant-antioxidant balance (PAB) and the effect of hospitalization on these factors in patients with myocardial infarction (MI).Methods: Totally 57 patients diagnosed with MI were recruited (mean age of 58.44±12.80). Nutritional status was assessed using the Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS-2002) questionnaire in patients admitted to t...

We show how to characterize integral models of Shimura varieties over places the reflex field where level subgroup is parahoric by formulating a definition “canonical” model. then prove that in Hodge type cases and under tameness hypothesis, constructed author Kisin previous work are canonical and, particular, independent choices. A main tool theory displays with structure we develop this paper.

BACKGROUND Depression is a risk factor for adverse outcomes following myocardial infarction (MI). However, the importance of various other psychological factors is less well established. PURPOSE The purpose is (a) explore the degree to which self-reported psychological symptoms in post-MI patients represent one or more underlying dimensions and (b) examine whether psychological symptom profil...
