Representative work: BACKGROUND: Long noncoding RNA ANRIL has been found to be involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and is expected to be a new target for prevention of DKD. However, the circulating expression and clinical significance of ANRIL in DKD patients is uncertain. This study aims to explore this issue. METHODS: The study consisted of 20 healthy controls, 22 T2DM patients (normalbuminuria) and 66 DKD patients (grouped as follows: microalbuminuria, n = 23; macroalbuminuria, n = 22 and renal dysfunction, n = 21). The expressions of ANRIL in peripheral whole blood of all participants were measured by RT-qPCR. RESULTS: The expression of ANRIL was significantly up-regulated in DKD pa Background: In 2019, there were 28. 76 million patients with stroke in China, with ~25% of them suffering from cryptogenic stroke (CS). Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is related to CS, and PFO closure can reduce recurrent stroke. To date, no study has investigated the cost-effectiveness of PFO closure vs. medical therapy among such populations in China. Methods: A Markov model with a cycle length of 3 months was established to compare the 30-year cost-effectiveness of PFO closure and medical therapy. The transition probability of recurrent stroke was derived from the RESPECT study, and the costs and utility were obtained from domestic data or studies conducted in China. The primary outcome of th
