The receiver operating characteristic curve suggested the high diagnostic value of miR-637 for atherosclerosis, with the AUC of 0.853, specificity of 77.9%, and sensitivity of 80.0%. The expression level of miR-637 was negatively correlated with CIMT (r = -0.8101, < 0.0001) and CRP (r = -0.6154, < 0.0001), respectively. Survival analysis indicated that miR-637 was also found to be an independent prognostic factor for atherosclerosis. MiR-637 is a potential noninvasive diagnostic marker of atherosclerosis and has important predictive value for the occurrence of future cardiovascular events.

There is lack of compelling evidence about the best technique to carry out the anastomosis between the artery and the vein end to side or side to side. This issue was addressed by very few randomized controlled studies. This topic has recently re-emerged with the advent of the endovascular fistula creation using the side-to-side technique. To compare the results of both surgical techniques for the creation of arteriovenous anastomosis. This is a randomized controlled prospective study. All renal failure patients, 18 years and older, referred to our institution requiring creation of a new arm arteriovenous fistulas, including distal radio-cephalic, ulno-basilic, proximal brachio-cephalic or brachio-basilic configurations were included. Between February 2018 and October 2018, 378 patients underwent creation of permanent haemodialysis access. A total of 100 patients were randomized equally into the end-to-side and side-to-side groups. Follow-up for the study purpose continued until May 2019 (mean = 9 months, range 1-12). Patients' age ranged from 19 to 68 years. Sevety-seven a
