“…Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the single most common cause of death from non-communicable diseases globally, and about 17.6 million individuals died of CVDs worldwide in 2012 [1]. In the Asian population, a higher risk of mortality has been observed compared to other ethnicities [2][3][4], which may result from the rapid urbanization process and the absence of related health policies [4]. There are different subtypes of CVDs, which include myocardial infarction (MI), acute coronary syndrome (ACS), coronary heart disease, and atherosclerosis [5].…”

The aim of the present study was to survey the relationship between central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) and several cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) with different severities using the National Health Insurance Research Database. A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Subjects with CSC were enrolled according to the relevant diagnostic codes, and an age-and gender-matched population was used as the control group with a 1:4 ratio. The main outcome being considered was the development of CVD after CSC exposure. Cox proportional hazard regression was applied to calculate the adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) of CSC and CVD of different types. A total of 2865 patients that were diagnosed with CSC were enrolled in the study group, while another 11,460 non-CSC subjects were selected as the control group. There were 171 events of CVD which occurred in the study group, while another 557 cases were found in the control group. No significant differences were observed among the CVD cases between the study and control group, whether they had an acute or chronic form, according to the aHR. In the subgroup analysis, there was a significantly higher risk of CVD development in the male population aged from 40 to 59 years (aHR: 1.351, confidence interval (CI): 1.063-1.716), which was mainly due to the higher risk of mild CVD (aHR: 1.391, CI: 1.062-1.822). On the contrary, there was no significant difference in CVD development in any of the age subgroups of the female population. In conclusion, the existence of CSC is correlated with a higher rate of chronic CVD occurrence in the middle-aged male population.

“…Cardiovascular disease and cancer are the two most common chronic diseases in human beings and are often interdependent (Regulska et al, 2019). In association with rapid economic development, disease patterns in China have changed from infectious to non-communicable and cardiovascular diseases have been identified as the main cause of premature (under the age of 70 years) morbidity and mortality (Du et al, 2019). Currently, leading research into cardiovascular-related diseases has shifted from coding genes to non-coding genes with regulatory function.…”

Cardiovascular disease is still the main cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Currently, the frontier of research into cardiovascular disease is the field of noncoding RNA. In this review, information was collected on the use of micro-RNAs as non-invasive biomarkers and their role in pathophysiological processes and therapeutic applications. In the case of microRNA-1 and microRNA-133, the roles and regulatory mechanisms of them are reviewed for arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, diabetic cardiomyopathy, myocardial hypertrophy, cardiomyocyte differentiation, and cell reprogramming. It was observed that microRNA-1 and microRNA-133 do not exist independently, but are two co-transcriptional and cooperative regulatory factors. They have diagnostic value as biomarkers, but also have the potential as therapeutic targets such as for antiarrhythmia and cardiac reprogramming.

“…One Indian study has documented that rural-urban migrants have higher rates of obesity and diabetes than non-migrants (Ebrahim et al, 2010). Besides, the burden of cardiovascular (CV) disease is very high in China, due to highly prevalent and poorly controlled risk factors resulting from changing sociodemographic structure and lifestyles in its large population (Du et al 2019). According to another study, between 2010 and 2030, Chinese urbanization is projected to raise the rates of agestandardized coronary heart diseases by 73-81 per 100,000 and increase the incidence of stroke from 790.1 to 801.1-830.9 per 100,000 (Mou et al, 2013).…”

Background: Mahjong is a four-player gambling game that originated in China. It is a very popular recreational hobby among land-lost Chinese peasants who have moved to the city due to urbanization. This study aims to identify the influencing factors of Mahjong playing behaviors and their effects on the health of land-lost peasants. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in two districts of Chongqing (Southwest China), which is the first pilot area of the urban–rural integration in China. Researchers recruited 539 land-lost peasants to implement a self-report questionnaire survey. Logistic regression was conducted to identify the key factors associated with Mahjong playing behaviors. Result: This study found that age is a crucial factor affecting the Mahjong playing behaviors of land-lost peasants. The middle-aged (30–49 years old) and elderly (>= 50 years old) are extremely prone to be problematic Mahjong players when compared with young people (18–29 years old). Moreover, people with a high monthly income are more likely to be problematic Mahjong players compared with those with a low monthly income. In addition, the high frequency of playing and long duration of sessions in the enclosed, smoky environment of Mahjong parlors introduce significant hazards to the health of land-lost peasants. However, Mahjong can help them build a social network, provide them with spiritual comfort, and ultimately integrate them into a new environment.Conclusion: Therefore, we call for measures that can make Mahjong an activity for entertainment rather than gambling and reduce the adverse effects of Mahjong playing behaviors on the players’ health.
