Moreover, BMI (P = 0.003), body weight (P = 0.005), and waist circumference (P = 0.007) reduced when the length of intervention exceeded 48weeks. Subgroup analyses revealed no significant alteration of serum albumin, body fat, CRP, or hs-CRP, when studies were divided based on BMI or intervention duration. Overall, these findings suggest that exercise training may improve inflammation status in NDD-CKD patients, and enhance weight loss in obese adult CKD patients. Registration number INPLASY2020100025.

Here, we describe about a simple, single-step, ARMS-PCR strategy targeting the mutant 426 amino acid of VP2 to differentiate CPV-2 antigenic types. A total of 150 fecal samples were subjected to ARMS-PCR of which 18 were typed as CPV-2a, 79 were typed as CPV-2b, and 6 were typed as CPV-2c. The ARMS-PCR results were validated by randomly sequencing partial VP2 gene of 14 samples. Phylogenetic analysis of partial VP2 gene sequencing of each of the CPV-2 variants revealed that CPV-2a and CPV-2b isolates formed a separate clade of Indian lineage, while CPV-2c shared common evolutionary origin with Asian lineage. The developed technique is first of its kind, one-step, rapid, sequencing independent method for typing of CPV-2 antigenic variants.Integration of electroanatomical map (EAM) with preacquired three-dimensional (3D) cardiac images provides detailed appreciation of the complex anatomy of the left atrium (LA) and pulmonary vein (PV). High-density (HD) multi-electrode mapping catheters have enabled creating more accurate EAM reflecting real-time volume-rendered LA-PV geometry during atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. However, no study has compared the outcomes of AF ablation using HD-EAM versus 3D-merged map. We aimed to investigate the procedural and clinical outcomes of AF ablation with HD-EAM (HD-EAM group) versus 3D-merged map (Merge group). One hundred patients (59.5 ± 11.5 years, 53% with paroxysmal AF [PAF]) were randomly assigned (11) to HD-EAM or Merged group. HD multi-electrode mapping and contact force (CF)-sensing catheters were used to create virtual LA-PV chamber and to perform wide antral circumferential ablation (WACA), respectively. The two groups showed no significant differences in baseline characteristics and procedural data including ablation time, fluoroscopy time, LA voltage, and CF. PV isolation with a single WACA line was achieved in 21 (42%) and 27 (54%) patients in the Merge and HD-EAM groups, respectively (P = NS). CF was significantly lower in lesions with gap than lesions without gap after a single WACA (7.3 ± 7.3 g vs. 16.0 ± 8.3, respectively, P less then 0.001). SGX-523 During the 12-month follow-up, no significant difference in AF recurrence was observed between two groups, irrespective of AF type. In multivariate analysis, non-PAF was an independent risk factor for AF recurrence. Integration of 3D cardiac imaging did not improve procedural and clinical outcomes. HD-EAM provides an accurate real-time LA geometry. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one most cancer type of high incidence and high mortality rate. Metastasis play an important role in survival rate and life quality of colorectal cancer patients. Nerve growth factor (NGF) has been shown to be involved in the metastasis and deterioration in many cancers, but the detail mechanisms in promoting the metastasis of colorectal cancer remain unknown. In this study, we aimed to explore the mechanism of NGF promoting colorectal cancer metastasis to provide new insights for developing NGF anti-colorectal cancer drugs. We examined the expression of NGF in human color
