    Abstract To determine quantifiable indicators for post-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) renal arterial embolization. A total of 2043 patients who underwent PCNL from September 2012 to March 2018 were reviewed retrospectively. Post-operative hemorrhage patients were extracted and divided into two groups according to treatment methods (conservative methods or super-selective renal arterial embolization [SRAE]). Demographic characteristics and hemorrhage outcomes were compared between the two groups by univariable analysis. Multivariable logistic regression was used to reveal the association between hemorrhage outcome factors and SRAE. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to determine the optimized cut-off value for SRAE. We identified 71 patients who had post-PCNL hemorrhage. Seventeen and 54 patients comprised the SRAE and conservative groups, respectively. No significant differences in demographic characteristics were found between the two groups. Univariate analysis showed that the differences in decreased hemoglobin (Hb), hemorrhage types, and transfusion were significant between the two groups (p < 0.001). Multivariable analysis showed that the decreased Hb was closely associated with the risk of SRAE. The ROC curve showed that an adjusted Hb decrease of 3.45 g/dL was an optimum indicator (AUC = 0.925). Decreased Hb is an indicator for SRAE after PCNL. When the adjusted decrease in Hb is ≥ 3.45 g/dL, SRAE should be performed regardless of the manifestations of hemorrhage.

    Abstract The activation of microglia is a hallmark of neuroinflammation and contributes to various neurodegenerative diseases. Chronic inorganic arsenic exposure is associated with impaired cognitive ability and increased risk of neurodegeneration. The present study aimed to investigate whether chronic inorganic arsenic-induced learning and memory impairment was associated with microglial activation, and how organic (DMA

    Abstract Objectives: This study aimed to identify which element of body composition measurements taken before 17th week gestation was the strongest risk factor for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in Chinese pregnant women.
    Design and setting: A retrospective study was performed using data retrieved from the Electronic Medical Record database of Chongqing Health Center for Women and Children (China) from January 2014 to December 2015.
    Participants: A total of 22,223 women were included with singleton pregnancies and no preexisting diabetes who underwent bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) before 17 gestational weeks and 75-g OGTT at 24-28 gestational weeks.
    Results: The prevalence of GDM from 2014 to 2015 was 27.13% (IADPSG). All indicators of BIA (total body water, fat mass, fat-free mass, percent body fat, muscle mass, visceral fat levels, proteins, bone minerals, basal metabolic rate, lean trunk mass), age, weight and body mass index (BMI) were risk factors that significantly increased the occurrence of GDM (
    Conclusions: Visceral fat levels, bone minerals and percent body fat were significantly associated with an increased risk of GDM, providing the reference ranges of visceral fat levels, bone minerals and percent body fat as predictive factors for Chinese women to estimate the risk of GDM by BIA during pregnancy.

    Abstract Physiological aging is associated with a range of medical problems. However, the treatment of aging-associated diseases and prolonging human life are vital to our current aging societies. Panax ginseng, a traditional Chinese medicine, has been shown to have anti-oxidative and anti-aging effects. In the current study, aging rats induced by d-galactose were administered ginsenoside Rg1, then splenocytes and thymocytes were extracted and changes in activity were detected. The results demonstrated that compared with the d-gal group, the level of advanced glycation end products (AGE), the ratio of splenocytes and thymocytes in G0 phase (%), and apoptosis (%) of splenocytes and thymocytes, the ratio (%) of SA-gal positive splenocytes and thymocytes, the content of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA), the ratio of glutathione (GSH) to oxidized glutathione (GSSG) and senescence-associated protein expression were significantly decreased and the index of the spleen and thymus, the proportion of white pulp in the spleen, the proportion of cortex in the thymus, the content of interleukin-2 (IL-2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), and the proliferative capacity of splenocytes and thymocytes were increased in the Rg1+ d-gal group. These findings demonstrated that ginsenoside Rg1 may antagonize spleen and thymus damage in d-galactose-induced aging rats by alleviating oxidative stress injury and down-regulating the expression of senescence-associated protein.
