"This is a very interesting retrospective study associating blood pressure variability (BPV) and poor outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention. BPV is an actual clinical parameter that need to be further investigated. Continuous dynamic fluctuations that occur over time spans ranging from seconds to years characterize blood pressure (BP) as a physiologic parameter. The complex interplay between environmental (eg, seasons, altitude, stress), physical (posture or volemia), and emotional factors inducing BP changes, and cardiovascular regulatory mechanisms aimed at maintaining the so-called BP “homeostasis” are the causes of fluctuation of BP. BPV represents a dynamic and characteristic physiologic feature of the cardiovascular system function, and its appears to be widely different among individual subjects in response to their daily challenges, and also determined by the characteristic reactivity of the cardiovascular control mechanism. The individual's “true” BP level evaluation could be “disturbed” by BPV that could be seen as a source of noise, moreover, it has been suggested its role also as an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk. The term BPV includes a wide range of BP variations, ranging from seconds or minutes (very short-term BPV), along 24 hours (short-term BPV, usually assessed by ambulatory BP monitoring), and between days (mid-term or day-to-day BPV, assessed with home BP monitoring). Long-term BPV has also been described, including seasonal BP variations and changes between clinic visits over months or years (visit-to-visit BPV). The changes in BP can be classified into those without regular features (random or erratic changes) and those characterized by well-defined patterns over time, typically related to biological rhythms or behavioral factors (eg, rhythmic fluctuations with periods of 3 seconds, 10 seconds or slower, nocturnal BP fall, siesta dip, morning BP surge, seasonal variations). The former is usually described using simple measures of dispersion (such as standard deviation [SD]) of average values over a given time window or estimates that also take into account the sequence of measurements over time (average real variability [ARV], the time rate of variations). The prognostic value of different estimates of BPV is still under investigation. The preferred indices include standard deviation (SD) for the clinic (visit-to-visit) and home BPV, and ARV, or SD for 24-hour BPV. It is also important to consider that these estimates of BPV are related with mean BP levels, and therefore it is important to adjust them for average BP. In research, this can be achieved with statistical methods, while in individual patients, a mathematical correction can be made by calculating the coefficient of variation (CV = SD*100/mean) or the variation independent of the mean (VIM). [Parati G, Stergiou GS, Dolan E, Bilo G. Blood pressure variability: clinical relevance and application. J Clin Hypertens (Greenwich). 2018 Jul;20(7):1133-1137. doi: 10.1111/jch.13304] This study gives new data on the problem of long term BPV. In my opinion the study is dealing with long term BPV, therefore the title should be “Long-term blood pressure variability.…” and not “Day-to-day blood pressure variability....”. My concerns are about impact of comorbidity on long term BPV, that in this study was not deeply investigated. I wonder if the use of a comorbidity index could have changed some results. Moreover, it is not clear the impact of age, sex, smoking status, diagnoses of hypertension or diabetes, prior cardiovascular disease, prior myocardial infarction, prior percutaneous coronary intervention, prior coronary artery bypass graft, renal function, left ventricular ejection fraction, angina, medications, and indication on outcomes.

"Comments from Huanjie Li (lihuanjie@sdu.edu.cn) Helicobacter pylori, the major risk factor of gastric cancer, is categorized as a class I carcinogen. Recently，an increasing evidence suggests that the GIT (gastrointestinal tract) microbiota, especially the gastric microbiota affects health and disease. However, the molecular mechanism of the relationship between H. pylori infection, gastric microbiota and gastric cancer (GC) remains unclear. Based on recent studies, Liatsos, et al. attempted to summarize the impact of different factors including Hp-I on gastric microbiota composition to unroll the tangle regarding the interaction between Hp-I, GM and GC. The review showed that the perpetuation of Hp-I reduces microbiota diversity and is connected with atrophy, IM and GC. H. pylori entirely dominated the microbiota not only in infected patients but also in the majority of individuals categorized as H. pylori-infected using conventional approaches, thus implying an active role in all cases of GC development. It is more than clear that Hp-I, GM and GC constitute a challenging tangle due to the strong interaction between them making it difficult to unroll it. Beyond H. pylori’s role in gastric oncogenesis, other bacteria, H. pylori-stimulated or not, in GM also seem to be responsible for transformation of gastric epithelial cells. The review suggested that the maze of GC complex pathogenesis where abundant data showed that beyond H. pylori related gastritis, additional pathogens might contribute to this type of cancer development. Nevertheless, large-scale experiments are needed to discern the exact role of different kinds of pathogens which reside in the stomach and their contribution to neoplasia emergence, aiding in the prediction of adverse prognosis of a specific microbiota diversity. The mechanisms of H. pylori infection, GM and GC relationship are critical for the early diagnosis and treatment of GC. " [Collapse]

"Authors made that the scientific community gradually realized the importance of the impact of IOL tilt and decentration on their quantification and the precision improvement of measurement methods. The usage of multifocal IOLs (MIOLs) and extended depth of focus (EDOF) IOLs is significantly higher than that in the past owing to the improvement in the quality of life. And it is necessary to clearly identify the causes of IOL tilt and decentration and their effects on the postoperative visual quality of different IOL eyes, especially trifocal and EDOF IOL eyes, guidance for selecting a proper IOL and determine the effective lens position for improving the postoperative visual effect of cataract patient was attempted to provide it.
