Background and aimsEtiologic associations between some modifiable factors (metabolic risk factors and lifestyle behaviors) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) remain unclear. To identify targets for CVD prevention, we evaluated the causal associations of these factors with coronary artery disease (CAD) and ischemic stroke using a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) method.Methods and resultsPreviously published genome-wide association studies (GWASs) for blood pressure (BP), glucose, lipids, overweight, smoking, alcohol intake, sedentariness, and education were used to identify instruments for 15 modifiable factors. We extracted effects of the genetic variants used as instruments for the exposures on coronary artery disease (CAD) and ischemic stroke from large GWASs (N = 60 801 cases/123 504 controls for CAD and N = 40 585 cases/406 111 controls for ischemic stroke). Genetically predicted hypertension (CAD: OR, 5.19 [95% CI, 4.21–6.41]; ischemic stroke: OR, 4.92 [4.12–5.86]), systolic BP (CAD: OR, 1.03 [1.03–1.04]; ischemic stroke: OR, 1.03 [1.03–1.03]), diastolic BP (CAD: OR, 1.05 [1.05–1.06]; ischemic stroke: OR, 1.05 [1.04–1.05]), type 2 diabetes (CAD: OR, 1.11 [1.08–1.15]; ischemic stroke: OR, 1.07 [1.04-1.10]), smoking initiation (CAD: OR, 1.26 [1.18–1.35]; ischemic stroke: OR, 1.24 [1.16–1.33]), educational attainment (CAD: OR, 0.62 [0.58–0.66]; ischemic stroke: OR, 0.68 [0.63–0.72]), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (CAD: OR, 1.55 [1.41–1.71]), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (CAD: OR, 0.82 [0.74–0.91]), triglycerides (CAD: OR, 1.29 [1.14–1.45]), body mass index (CAD: OR, 1.25 [1.19–1.32]), and alcohol dependence (OR, 1.04 [1.03–1.06]) were causally related to CVD.ConclusionThis systematic MR study identified 11 modifiable factors as causal risk factors for CVD, indicating that these factors are important targets for preventing CVD. 相似文献
Background: Exercise has been acknowledged as an effective non-pharmacological intervention for osteoarthritis. Consensus regarding the type of exercise i.e., aerobic or resistance, weight bearing or non-weight bearing, and dosage i.e., frequency, loading, duration, or intensity, is yet to be reached.
Objective: The purpose of this review was to address two questions: (1) is there a difference in clinical outcomes between different exercise programmes; and (2) what is the optimal dosage of exercises for people with knee osteoarthritis.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted. A study of published (AMED, CINAHL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, and the Cochrane Library) and unpublished literature (WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, current controlled trials and the United States National Institute of Health Trials Registry, and Open Grey) was undertaken in January 2013. Studies assessing the clinical outcomes of different types and dosages of exercise for people with osteoarthritis of the knee were included. Methodological quality was assessed using the critical appraisal skills programme (CASP) randomized controlled trial (RCT) appraisal tool.
Results: Ten studies assessing 958 knees from 916 participants were included. Exercise significantly improved pain and function for people with knee osteoarthritis. There was no significant difference in outcomes for different types of exercise i.e., aerobic versus resistance, weight bearing versus non-weight bearing. There was no significant difference in respect to the intensity of exercise i.e., high- versus lower-intensity resistance or aerobic exercises. The quality of the literature was moderate to high.
Conclusions: While exercise appears to improve symptoms and optimize function for people with knee osteoarthritis, the optimal form and dosage of exercise remains unknown.
目的:观察扶正为主辨证论治对晚期非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)的疗效。方法:采用前瞻性、随机设计研究方法。选取晚期NSCLC一线治疗后疾病无进展的患者,随机分为治疗组和对照组各29例,治疗组以扶正为主辨证论治进行巩固治疗,对照组不进行中药抗肿瘤治疗。每月随访1次,治疗直至疾病进展或患者拒绝治疗为止。观察扶正为主辨证论治对晚期NSCLC一线化疗后疾病控制患者巩固治疗的临床疗效。观察指标包括疾病进展时间(Time to Progression,TTP)、中医症状改善情况、体重变化、生活质量(Quality of Life,QOL)。结果:(1)治疗组中位TTP为89d,对照组中位TTP为70d,差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05);(2)治疗组患者中医症状积分明显改善,总有效率86.21%较对照组的17.24%,差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05);(3)治疗组体重稳定率79.31%较对照组的44.83%,差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05);(4)扶正为主辨证论治能明显改善晚期NSCLC患者的生活质量,EORTCQLQ—LC43中的躯体、角色、情绪、社会功能领域,总健康状况,疲倦、恶心呕吐、气促、失眠、食欲丧失、便秘、咳嗽、口腔渍疡、脱发的症状领域方面较对照组都有明显改善,差异均有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。结论:(1)中医巩固治疗对晚期非小细胞肺癌一线化疗疾病控制后患者能延长疾病进展时间;(2)中医巩固治疗能明显改善晚期非小细胞肺癌患者一线化疗后中医症状和稳定体重;(3)中医巩固治疗能提高晚期非小细胞肺癌患者一线化疗后生活质量。 相似文献
