[EX Q]: Obese persons have low circulating natriuretic peptide (NP) concentrations. It has been proposed that this 'natriuretic handicap' could play a role in obesity-related hypertension. The normal physiological response of the NP system to an increase in blood pressure (BP) is an increase in NP secretion with concomitant higher circulating NP concentrations. In this study, we investigated whether higher BP would also be related to higher circulating NP concentrations in obese men; furthermore, we verified that BP had affected the hearts of our study participants, by determining left ventricular mass (LVM).", 'We examined 103 obese healthy medication-free men. We measured 24-hour ambulatory BP (ABP). LVM was calculated using the Cornell voltage-duration product method. Fasting serum concentrations of midregional proatrial NP (MR-proANP), a surrogate for active ANP, were measured. Linear regression analysis was used to calculate age-adjusted standardised regression coefficients (β).', 'LVM and BP increased across systolic ABP quartiles (mean LVM±SD: 1599.1±387.2\u2005mm\u2005ms in first vs 2188.5±551.3\u2005mm\u2005ms in fourth quartile, p<0.001; mean systolic ABP±SD: 114.5±4.2\u2005mm\u2005Hg in first vs 149.0±7.7\u2005mm\u2005Hg in fourth quartile, p<0.001). Systolic ABP was robustly associated with LVM (ß=0.48, p<0.001). Despite evidence of BP-related increases in LVM, serum MR-proANP was negatively associated with systolic ABP (ß=-0.32, p=0.004) and with diastolic ABP (ß=-0.45, p<0.001).

[EX Q]: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) induces microglial activation and the release of inflammatory cytokines, leading to inflammation in the brain. IRAK4, an essential component of the MyD88-dependent pathway, activates subsets of divergent signaling pathways in inflammation.', 'In the experiment, microglia were stimulated with erythrocyte lysates, and then miR-367, IRAK4, NF-ĸB activation and downstream proinflammatory mediator production were analyzed. In addition, inflammation, brain edema, and neurological functions in ICH mice were also assessed.', "Here, we report that ICH downregulated miR-367 expression but upregulated IRAK4 expression in primary microglia. We also demonstrate that miR-367 suppressed IRAK4 expression by directly binding its 3'-untranslated region. MiR-367 inhibited NF-ĸB activation and downstream proinflammatory mediator production. Knocking down IRAK4 in microglia significantly decreased the IRAK4 expression and inhibited the NF-ĸB activation and the downstream production of proinflammatory mediators. In addition, our results indicate that miR-367 could inhibit expression of proinflammatory cytokines, reduce brain edema, and improve neurological functions in ICH mice.

[EX Q]: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical characteristics of patients enrolled in randomized clinical trials on congestive heart failure treatment with those of real-world patients encountered in daily clinical practice.', 'We searched the Cochrane review methodology, Medline and SilverPlatter databases to obtain the clinical characteristics of both patients enrolled in therapeutic clinical trials and real-world patients with heart failure. We selected 27 clinical trials, and 8 prospective epidemiological studies or registries published between 1987 and 2001 which enrolled 53,859 and 18,207 patients, respectively.', 'On average, compared to real-world heart failure patients, patients enrolled in clinical trials were younger (63 +/- 10 vs 75 +/- 11 years respectively, p < 0.0001), and more likely to be male (72 vs 54% respectively, p < 0.0001). Clinical trial patients showed a lower ejection fraction (26 +/- 7 vs 38 +/- 15% respectively, p < 0.0001) but a lower prevalence of NYHA functional class III-IV (62 vs 75% respectively, p < 0.0001) than real-world patients. In clinical trial patients, the prevalence of ischemic heart disease (67 vs 42% respectively, p < 0.0001) and a history of previous myocardial infarction (62 vs 42% respectively, p < 0.0001) were higher than in real-world patients. Conversely, the prevalence of chronic atrial fibrillation (12 vs 31% respectively, p < 0.0001) and of diabetes (22 vs 24% respectively, p < 0.02) was lower in trial patients than in real-world patients.
