    Abstract This study aims to broaden the understanding of the motivational factors influencing vaccine acceptance framed as product country image (PCI) by exploring the role of overall country image (OCI), vaccine knowledge and information inconsistency, in addition to the three most commonly investigated constructs: vaccine efficacy, fear of vaccine and social norm. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed online to 593 Vietnamese participants to collect data on COVID-19 vaccines from four different countries: the USA, the UK, Russia and China. Structural equation modelling was employed to test the proposed model and hypotheses. The results indicated that OCI had a positive effect on vaccine acceptance for vaccines from the USA and Russia, but a non-significant effect for vaccines from the UK and a negative effect for vaccines from China. Vaccine efficacy, social norm and subjective knowledge had a positive effect for most vaccines, while fear of the vaccine and information inconsistency had negative effects for certain vaccines. The results suggest that vaccine efficacy and social norm are more stable and significant predictors of vaccine acceptance than other constructs. Moreover, OCI moderated the effects of vaccine efficacy, fear of the vaccine, information inconsistency, subjective knowledge and social norm on vaccine acceptance for certain vaccines.

    Abstract Purpose: Cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) is a significant risk factor influencing the quality of life in lung cancer survivors. No absolute assessment tool has been confirmed to assess CRCI in lung cancer survivors. This review was undertaken to pool the overall prevalence of CRCI and to summarize the assessment tools in assessing CRCI among lung cancer survivors.
    Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, CINAHL, and CNKI were searched to retrieve articles reported CRCI prevalence. Summary prevalence estimates were pooled using a random effects model, along with corresponding 95% prediction intervals (PIs). The Freeman-Tukey double arcsine transformation of proportions was incorporated in the analysis. Additionally, subgroup analysis, meta-regression, and leave-one-out analysis were performed.
    Results: A total of 12 studies, involving 1934 survivors, were included in the review. All of these studies were found to have a low risk of bias in terms of their methodological quality. Four studies (33.3%) utilized the International Cognition and Cancer Task Force (ICCTF) criteria to identify CRCI through neuropsychological tests. The pooled prevalence rate of CRCI was found to be 26% (95% PI, 16-37%), I
    Conclusion: This review provides an overview of CRCI prevalence and assessment tools in lung cancer survivors. The findings can serve as epidemiological evidence to enhance clinicians' and researchers' understanding of early detection and assessment.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Increased cardiovascular (CV) risk associated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is well recognized in the general population. This may limit the use of this effective therapy in patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA), a population already at high CV risk.
    Recent findings: Increased CV diseases and their risk factors in patients with SpA were consistently shown in recent population-level data. NSAIDs remained commonly prescribed in SpA, though their structural benefit remained controversial and the dispensing practice was variable in different regions in the world. A previous observation study suggested NSAIDs in SpA might be cardio-protective, possibly via their modulation of the chronic inflammatory state. A recent meta-analysis of nonrandomized studies also revealed no increased risk of a CV event. Interestingly, there is growing evidence that different NSAIDs might impose differential CV risk on patients with SpA.
    Summary: Recent evidence suggested NSAIDs were associated with a neutral and possibly lower CV risk in patients with SpA, which provided some reassurance for their use.

    Abstract: Background: Transplant renal artery aneurysm (TRAA) is rare. TRAA that develops post transplantation consists of 0.10% of the vascular complications post renal transplant (Transplant Proc 41:1609-1614, 2009; Indian J Urol 29:42-47, 2013).: Case ... ...

    Abstract Background: Transplant renal artery aneurysm (TRAA) is rare. TRAA that develops post transplantation consists of 0.10% of the vascular complications post renal transplant (Transplant Proc 41:1609-1614, 2009; Indian J Urol 29:42-47, 2013).
    Case presentation: We report a case of TRAA in an asymptomatic young female. CT angiogram with detailed 3D reconstruction showed a 2.6 × 2.2 cm wide neck saccular TRAA arising from the anterior segmental branch of the graft renal artery (Figs. 2 and 3). A multidisciplinary team of interventional radiologists, vascular and urologist was involved for preoperative surgical planning and unique repair methods. Endovascular and percutaneous approaches were deemed not feasible, and an open in vivo approach with a saphenous vein graft was taken.
    Conclusion: TRAA, albeit rare, is a complication that can occur post renal transplant. In-vivo surgical repair of TRAA is feasible with a multidisciplinary approach and careful preoperative planning. Saphenous vein graft is still a versatile graft and can be used as a conduit successfully.

    Abstract Objective: The nitric oxide (NO) metabolite nitrite has been shown to attenuate hyperglycemia via its increase in insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake. However, the oral use of nitrite is limited due to its potential formation of the carcinogenic N-nitrosamines via reaction of acidic nitrite and the secondary amines. We investigated the anti-diabetic effect of sodium nitrite (SN) combined with glutathione (GSH) in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice for potential use of GSH as a protective agent in future nitrite therapy.
    Materials and methods: STZ-induced diabetic mice were orally treated for 5 weeks with vehicle, SN, GSH or SN + GSH. Oral glucose tolerance test and the measurement of fasting blood glucose (FBG) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels were carried out to evaluate anti-diabetic effects of SN and SN + GSH. Plasma levels of total NO metabolites (NOx) were measured to confirm nitrite absorption.
    Results: SN and SN + GSH significantly improved the glucose tolerance (p < 0.05), but GSH alone did not. The efficacy of combination treatment with SN and GSH in improving the glucose tolerance was higher than that of SN alone. Oral treatment with SN or SN + GSH significant reduced FBG and HbA1c levels (p < 0.05). Interestingly, daily oral administration of SN + GSH was more effective in reducing FBG and HbA1c levels than that of SN alone. Administration of SN or SN + GSH significantly increased plasma NOx levels (p < 0.05), and combination treatment with SN + GSH was more effective in increasing plasma NOx levels than that with SN alone.
    Conclusions: Combination treatment with SN and GSH is more effective in controlling hyperglycemia and increasing the plasma NOx levels in an experimental mouse model of diabetes. Since oral administration of GSH has been shown to be non-toxic in humans, the combination of SN and GSH may be important in potential future nitrite therapy.

    Abstract Background: Thrombi in native hemodialysis access frequently exhibit chronic organized feature because they have formed over a long period. Removal of these is quite difficult owing to relatively large volume, resilient feature, limitations of the introducer sheath size, etc. In this study, we report our experience using a vascular snare for the removal of these thrombi in native arteriovenous fistula (AVF).
    Materials and methods: The medical records of patients who underwent recanalization for thrombosed AVFs from January 2019 to August 2023 were reviewed. During the study period, a total of 29 native fistulas (19 brachiocephalic, nine radiocephalic, and one radiobasilic) in 25 patients were treated using a vascular snare with multiple loops (19 men and six women). Characteristics of the AVFs, endovascular procedures, technical and clinical results, and complications were evaluated.
    Results: Anatomic and clinical success rates were 96.6% and 100%, respectively. Total thrombosis was observed in 21 (72.4%) fistulas. Aneurysmal changes were found in 22 (75.9%) fistulas. The mean fistula age at the time of the procedure was 60.9 months (standard deviation, 52.2). Thrombectomy was initiated using a vascular snare in 14 fistulas. In 15 fistulas for which the procedures were initiated using a rotational percutaneous thrombectomy device (PTD), a vascular snare was subsequently used because recanalization failed or was insufficient due to chronic organizing thrombi. Additional aspiration and balloon angioplasty were performed in 27 (93.1%) and 28 (96.6%), respectively. Pharmacological thrombolysis was performed in one fistula for long segmental thrombosis combined with arterial thrombosis. The mean procedure time, excluding thrombolysis, was 91.9 min (standard deviation, 55.5). No complications related to the use of the vascular snare was observed.
    Conclusion: The use of a vascular snare with multiple loops was safe and highly effective for the removal of chronic organized thrombi in the recanalization of thrombosed AVFs.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the incidence and risk factors of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients.
    Methods: A population-based retrospective cohort of RA and PsA patients was identified in a citywide database. All patients recruited from Jan 2006 to Dec 2015 were followed until the end of 2018. The outcome was the occurrence of a first MACE. Covariates of interest included traditional cardiovascular (CV) risk factors, inflammatory markers and pharmacotherapies. The independent predictors of MACE were identified by the time-dependent cox proportional hazard models.
    Results: A total of 13,905 patients (12,233 RA and 1,672 PsA) were recruited. After a total of 119,571 patient-years of follow-up, 934 (6.7%) patients developed a first MACE. RA and PsA patients had similar adjusted incidence (incidence rate ratio 0.96, 95 % CI 0.75-1.22, p = 0.767). After adjusting for traditional CV risk factors, the time-varying erythrocyte sedimentation (ESR) rate and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, and the use of glucocorticoids were independently associated with higher risk of MACE in both the RA and PsA cohorts. In RA, the use of methotrexate and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) were associated with fewer MACE. The use of biologic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs was not associated with MACE in both RA and PsA.
    Conclusion: The incidence of MACE was similar in RA and PsA. Systemic inflammation and glucocorticoid use independently increased the risk of MACE in inflammatory arthritis, while methotrexate and NSAIDs use were protective against the development of MACE in RA.
