Intake of GBR for 6 weeks significantly increased serum 1,5-AG in Japanese subjects without diabetes. The increase of 1,5-AG may have been due to the alleviation of postprandial hyperglycemia, which could be effective for the primary prevention of diabetes. Postoperative new-onset atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication following cardiothoracic surgery, but little is known regarding its occurrence and outcome following noncardiothoracic surgery. This study was intended to examine the incidence of POAF in noncardiothoracic surgeries performed under general anesthesia and its effects on the length of hospitalization stay, short-term and long-term morbidity, and mortality. . We conducted a retrospective observational descriptive study. The study population consists of patients hospitalized in surgical wards from January 2014 to December 2017. Surgery was defined as noncardiac or thoracic procedure conducted under general anesthesia. A total of 24,125 general anesthesia operations were performed at 7 surgical wards. About two-fifth of the operations (40%) were operated electively, and the rest underwent emergency surgery. The mean age was 63.78 ± 11.50, and more than half (56.9%) of the participants were female. The prevalence of POAF was 2.69 per . POAF is associated with a longer length of hospitalization and a significantly higher mortality rate, both in short- and long-term.It has been proven that vitamin D was decreased and function of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) was injured in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. However, the effect of vitamin D on the function of EPCs in vitro and its mechanism need further study. Therefore, we investigated whether vitamin D improved the function of EPCs in vitro. The peripheral blood mononuclear cells of the participants were isolated from SLE pa
