Recently, soluble ST2(sST2) was found to be elevated in patients with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and regarded as a promising novel biomarkers that can improve risk stratification [2, 3]. In 2012, Broch K et al. showed that baseline sST2 was associated with death due to worsening heart failure (HF), hospitalization due to worsening HF, and all cardiovascular hospitalization in older patients with ischemic HF[4]. In a multicenter study enrolled 447 patients with acutely decompensated heart failure, sST2 was an independent predictor of mortality for 1 year follow-up, regardless of the left ventricular ejection fraction[5]. As a β-galactoside-binding lectin secreted by activated macrophages, galectin-3 (Gal-3) exists in the cytoplasm and in a secreted form, and is involved in several physiological and pathological processes that contribute to HF, including myocardial fibrosis, inflammation and cardiac remodeling [6-8]. Sub study of RELAX trial suggested that Gal-3 levels were associated with severity of renal dysfunction. De Boer et al. found that Gal-3 is an independent marker for composite end of all-cause mortality and HF hospitalization in HF and appears to be more powerful in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)[9]. According to results from the Aldo-DHF trial, plasma Gal-3 in HFpEF was associated with adverse outcome, independent of treatment or NT-proBNP [10].","PeriodicalId":69096,"journal":{"name":"人体生理学杂志(英文)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47112958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigate correlation between maternal traits (height, BMI) pelvic variables (conjugate diameter, inter-spinous diameter, sub-pubic angle) and neonatal traits (gestational age, birthweight, head, suboccipito-brematic and abdominal girth). We found that the three neonatal variables are significantly inter-correlated. Among maternal traits, height is highly correlated with conjugate and inter-spinous diameters. Subpubic angle is correlated with inter-spinous diameter. Among neonatal and pelvimetry correlations, conjugate diameter is highly correlated with suboccipito-bregmatic girth. The pelvic size seems to be the primary constraint to the fetal growth process. This adjustement of fetus size to the birth canal dimensions limits the risk of dystocia. But the way this adjustement occurs at the end of pregnancy is unclear. We assume that the uterus expansion limitation may be an intermediate mechanism explaining the high correlation between pelvic and neonatal traits.","PeriodicalId":69096,"journal":{"name":"人体生理学杂志(英文)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43905485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Material and methods 645 representatives of the power sports (weightlifting, powerlifting, bodybuilding) having sports qualification of CMS, MS, IMS with the average body weight of 102.7 ± 6.4kg were examined. Everything to the examined athletes along with survey carried out the standard electrocardiogram of rest, double measurement of the ABP, a transthoracic echocardiography. Results A survey of 645 athletes of power sports of heavy weight categories showed that 238 (37%) athletes have high blood pressure (systolic blood pressure-157.4 ± 5.6, diastolic blood pressure-91.2 ± 5.3) and violation of left ventricular geometry. Reliably in hypertensive athletes, compared with normotensive athletes, the following heart parameters were increased: TIS by 0.1mm (p<0.01), TPWLV by 0.2mm <0.01), DRV by 4.2mm (p<0.01), LVMM by 32.2g (p<0.01), LVMI by 17.8g/m2 (p<0.01), RWTLV by 0.08mm (p<0.01). And also in the group of hypertensive athletes there was a significantly lower EDD by 0.2mm (p<0.05). Conclusion Thus, the patterns obtained in relation to associations of blood pressure and disorders of heart geometry of athletes of power sports, heavy weight categories, it may be implemented in prevention programs in future with priority focus on the \"risk-bearing\" groups of men.","PeriodicalId":69096,"journal":{"name":"人体生理学杂志(英文)","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69521199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prompt neurosurgical consult was sought and this was quickly followed with an acrylic cranioplasty and revision of VP shunt.
