Current treatment guidelines recommend ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) as the first-line treatment for new-diagnosed primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) patients. However, up to 40% patients are insensitive to UDCA monotherapy, and evaluation of UDCA response at 12 months may result in long period of ineffective treatment. We aimed to develop a new …
Gut microbiota produce different metabolites within the human body, which include neurotransmitters. Animal studies have demonstrated a critical role for the gut microbiota in various aspects of brain and behavioural function, and a smaller number of studies in humans have shown differences of gut microbiota composition in psychiatric conditions. However, …

For this protocol, the investigators plan to collect pilot data to examine sex differences in guanfacine's effect on 1) counteracting stress and stimulation based drinking behavior in the laboratory and 2) improving clinical outcomes during a subsequent treatment phase.
The incidence of postoperative delirium in patients after cardiovascular surgery is very high, which seriously affects the short-term and long-term prognosis of patients, but its mechanism is not clear. Recent studies have found that lactic acid participates in the process of sepsis by inducing histone lactatation in macrophages. histone H3 …
During intermittent hemodialysis (IHD), the occurrence of intradialytic hemodynamic instability (IHI) is frequent in ICU and impacted morbidity and mortality. Bicarbonate dialysate buffer improves hemodynamic tolerance compared to acetate dialysate buffer. However, bicarbonate dialysate buffer still contains a lower concentration of acetate, which could contribute to hemodynamic instability. Recently, citrate-based …
