Abstract
Root canal therapy and endodontic surgery are conventional treatments for pulpal and periapical diseases. Compared with naked-eye operations, the application of dental operating microscope has enhanced the procedural accuracy and prognosis efficiently. However, root canals with pulp calcification/obliteration, apical lesions with thick cortical bone or adjacent to important anatomic structures are even challenging for experienced operators to achieve predictable clinical outcomes. Recently, with the advances in the field of digitalized information sciences, the above mentioned complicated endodontic cases can be solved under static and dynamic guidance. Before the treatment begins, virtual path is designed from data collected by cone-beam CT and oral image scanning using guidance software. Afterwards, root canal therapy and endodontic surgery can be performed precisely under the assistance of three-dimensional printed guide or dynamic guidance system. The present review describes the classification, features and clinical applications of the guided endodontics.

Abstract
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is characterized by an enhancement of traumatic memory. Intervention strategies based on the different stages of memory have been shown to be effective in the prevention and control of PTSD. The endogenous gaseous molecule, sulfur dioxide (SO2), has been reported to significantly exert neuromodulatory effects; however, its regulation of learning and memory remains unestablished. This study aimed to investigate the effects of exogenous SO2 derivatives administration on the formation, consolidation, reconsolidation, retention, and expression of contextual fear memory. Behavioral results showed that both intraperitoneal injection (50 mg/kg, ip) and hippocampal infusion (5 μg/side) of SO2 derivatives (a mixture of sodium sulfite and sodium bisulfite, Na2SO3/NaHSO3, 3:1 M/M) significantly impaired consolidation but had no effect on reconsolidation and retention of contextual fear memory. These findings suggest that the attenuating effects of SO2 on the consolidation of fear memory involves, at least partially, the region of the hippocampus. The findings of this study provide direct evidence for the development of new strategies for PTSD prevention and treatment involving the use of gaseous SO2.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO), a byproduct of heme catalyzed by heme oxygenase (HO), has been reported to exert antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions, and to produce significant neuroprotective effects. The potential effects of CO and even HO on depressive-like behaviors are still poorly understood. Utilizing several approaches including adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated overexpression of HO-1, systemic CO-releasing molecules (CO-RMs), CO-rich saline or CO gas treatment procedures in combination with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced PC12 cell injury model, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced depression mouse model, the present study aimed to investigate the potential antidepressant- and anxiolytic-like effects of endogenous and exogenous CO administration in vivo and in vitro. The results of in vitro experiments showed that both CO-RM-3 and CO-RM-A1 pretreatment blocked H2O2-induced cellular injuries by increasing cell survival and decreasing cell apoptosis and necrosis. Similar to the effects of CO-RM-3 and CO-RM-A1 pretreatment, AAV-mediated HO-1 overexpression in the dorsal hippocampus produced significant antidepressant-like activities in mice under normal conditions. Further investigation showed that the CO gas treatment significantly blocked LPS-induced depressive- and anxiety-like behaviors in mice. Taken together, our results suggest that the activation of HO-1 and/or exogenous CO administration produces protective effects and exerts antidepressant- and anxiolytic-like effects. These data uncover a novel function of the HO-1/CO system that appears to be a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of depression and anxiety.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the genotype characteristics of children with monogenic nephrolithiasis. Methods: The clinical data and genetic test results of 56 children with monogenic nephrolithiasis diagnosed and treated in Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2016 to December 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. All pediatric patients were diagnosed by whole exome sequencing, and the genotype characteristics of the children were analyzed. Results: Among 56 children with monogenic nephrolithiasis, there were 39 males and 17 females, with an average age of 4 years (range, 5 months to 14 years). A total of 11 genes were found to have mutations, including 7 autosomal recessive genes, 1 X-linked recessive gene, and 3 genes with both recessive and dominant, of which HOGA1 gene mutation was the most common (16 cases, 28.6%), followed by AGXT gene (15 cases, 26.8%), SLC3A1 gene (6 cases, 10.7%), SLC7A9 gene (5 cases, 8.9%) and GRHPR gene (5 cases, 8.9%). The mutation types included nonsense mutations, frameshift mutations and splicing mutations, with 14 novel mutations. Genes such as AGXT, GRHPR and HOGA1 have hotspot mutations or hotspot mutation regions, which are c. 815-816 insGA and c. 33dupC mutation, c.864-865delTG mutation and c. 834-834+1 mutation region; SLC3A1 and SLC7A9 genes had 9 novel mutations, but no hotspot mutation or hotspot regions were found. Conclusion: Monogenic nephrolithiasis is rare and mostly autosomal recessive in Chinese children, with mutations in the causative genes HOGA1, AGXT, SLC3A1,SLC7A9 and GRHPR. AGXT, GRHPR and HOGA1 genes have hotspot mutations or hotspot mutation regions, and mutations may have ethnic differences.

Abstract
Our previous work found that neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) expression increases when endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) occurs in human kidney-2 (HK-2) tubular epithelial cells. However, the reason for this is not yet known. This study investigated the factors involved when inducing NGAL overexpression in HK-2 cells during ERS. The cells were divided into six groups: the control group (normal HK-2 cells), the ERS group (HK-2 cells cultured in complete medium with thapsigargin (TG)), the transfection group (HK-2 cells transfected with activating transcription factor 4 small interfering ribonucleic acid (ATF4 siRNA), the ERS after transfection group (HK-2 cells transfected with ATF4 siRNA, then cultured in complete medium with TG), the negative control group (HK-2 cells transfected with siRNA-negative contrast), and the dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) group (HK-2 cells cultured in complete medium with DMSO). Western blot and a real-time polymerase chain reaction were used to measure the expression of protein and messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA). As a result NGAL, ATF4, C/EBP homologous protein, glucose-regulated protein 78 kDa, ATF4 mRNA, and NGAL mRNA were clearly overexpressed in the ERS group compared with the control group (p < 0.05). The expression of NGAL and ATF4 were similar in the control group, the negative control group, and the DMSO group (p > 0.05). Meanwhile, ATF4, NGAL, ATF4 mRNA, and NGAL mRNA in the ERS after transfection group were significantly lower compared with the ERS group (p < 0.05), which showed that NGAL was affected by ATF4. There was a close correlation between NGAL and ATF4; when the expression of ATF4 was inhibited, NGAL was significantly lower. Therefore, ATF4 may be one of the upstream regulators of NGAL.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the related mechanisms of biological root resorption in decidual teeth by studying the biological effect of simulated occlusal force on the periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSC) at different stages of root absorption. Methods: According to the tooth type and root absorption degree, healthy retained deciduous incisors and healthy first premolars that needed to be removed for orthodontic treatment were collected and divided into three groups with six teeth in each group: the deciduous unabsorbed group (UN group), the absorbed group (R group) and the permanent teeth group (P group). PDLSC was isolated from periodontal ligament and cultured. PDLSC of three groups were loaded with dynamic pressure of 0-45, 0-90, 0-135, 0-180, 0-225 and 0-270 kPa, respectively. The proliferation ability was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) technique on day 1 to day 7, respectively. The apoptosis levels of PDLSC after loading with dynamic pressure of 0-45, 0-90, 0-135, 0-180 and 0-225 kPa were observed by the flow cytometry. The changes of microfilaments were observed by fibrous actin (F-actin) staining after the cytokeleton was subjected to dynamic pressure of 0-90 kPa. Results: PDLSC of three groups exhibited various proliferation abilities to dynamic pressure. The A values in the UN group and R group were significantly higher than those in the P group and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference between the UN group and the R group (P>0.05). The A values of PDLSC in UN group and R group under dynamic pressures of 0-45, 0-90, 0-135 and 0-180 kPa had no statistical significance compared with the control group unloading dynamic pressure (P>0.05). However, under 0-225 and 0-270 kPa dynamic pressures, the A values at the day 3 to day 7 were statistically significant (P<0.05). The A values of PDLSC in P group under 0-45, 0-90, 0-135, 0-180 and 0-225 kPa dynamic pressures for 1 to 7 days were no statistically significant difference compared with the control group (P>0.05). The A value in P group under the 0-270 kPa was statistically significant only on day 3 (1.386±0.131) and day 5 to day 7 (1.728±0.226, 2.029±0.168 and 2.263±0.210, respectively)(P<0.05). The result of apoptosis showed that the A values of PDLSC in UN group, R group and P group were significantly increased under 0-90, 0-135, 0-180 kPa and above dynamic pressures, respectively (P<0.05) compared with the control group unloading dynamic pressure. Under 0-90 kPa dynamic pressure, F-actin fluorescence staining samples in three groups all showed green filaments which were arranged along the long axis of the cells in the R group and the P group, while some fibers in the UN group were closely arranged and promoted stress fiber assembly. Conclusions: The biological characteristics of PDLSC at different root absorption stages were changed when they were stimulated by mechanical stress, and PDLSC of the deciduous teeth at the root unabsorption stage were more sensitive to mechanical stress stimulation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the changes of CaM-CaMK-CREB signaling pathway and related neuron factors in hippocampus of rats after sevoflurane and propofol administration. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 90 SD rats, half male and half female, were selected. They were randomized into anesthesia group (AG) and control group (CG), in which 30 rats under propofol anesthesia in the AG were included in group A, 30 rats under sevoflurane anesthesia were included in group B, and 30 rats under mixed ventilation of air and oxygen were included in the CG. Before (10 rats were killed in each group) and at the end of anesthesia (2 weeks of anesthesia and 7 days of Morris water maze test), rats were respectively killed and then an appropriate amount of hippocampus was separated. Human tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), calmodulin (CaM), calmodulin-dependent kinase Ⅱ a (CaMK II a), NMDA receptor 2B (NR2B), cysteine aspartate specific protease-3 mRNA (Caspase-3mRNA) and protein contents were detected. RESULTS The latency of rats in group A and group B, as well as their times of crossing the original platform on 1, 4, and 7d were markedly higher than those of the CG, and those in group B were markedly lower than those in group A (p<0.001). The total distance of rats in group A and group B on 1, 4, and 7d was significantly higher than that of the CG, and that in group B was dramatically lower than that in group A (p<0.001). The speed of rats in the three groups ranged from 1d to 7d, and there was no significant difference at different time points (p>0.05). At the end of anesthesia, the expression levels of CaM mRNA and protein in hippocampus of rats in group A and group B were remarkably higher than those of the CG, and those of CaMK II a mRNA and protein were remarkably lower than those of the CG; the CaM mRNA and protein expression levels in hippocampus of group A were significantly higher than those of group B, and those of CaMK IL a mRNA and protein were significantly lower than those of group B (p<0.001). Simultaneously, the expression levels of NR2BmRNA, Caspase-3mRNA and protein in hippocampus of group A and group B were substantially higher than those of the CG, and those in group B were substantially lower than those in group A (p<0.001). What's more, the TNF-a and VEGF expression levels in hippocampus of group A and B were markedly higher than those of the CG, and those in group B were dramatically lower than those of group A (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Sevoflurane anesthesia on the CaM-CaMK-CREB signaling pathway and learning and memory function of rats is less volatile, which does better in safeguarding stability.

Abstract
Abstract Objective To retrospectively analyze the characteristics of the traumatic rupture of intracranial internal carotid artery in order to provide reference for forensic expertise examination and identification. Methods A total of 11 autopsy cases of traumatic rupture of intracranial internal carotid artery were collected. The gender, age, cause of injury, blood loss on the scene, location of internal carotid artery rupture, hardening degree of the rupture of the wall, brain injury, blood ethanol content and cause of death were also recorded. Results All 11 cases died on the scene, of which 7 died from traffic accidents, 2 falls from height and 2 from bare handed injuries. None of the 11 victims suffered serious head and body surface injury. The internal carotid artery rupture in the 9 cases of traffic injury and fall from height injury occurred in the cavernous segment. In all these cases, there were transverse fractures of the middle cranial fossa with the carotid sulcus involved, and minor intracranial hemorrhage and brain contusion. In 2 cases of bare handed injuries, internal carotid artery rupture occurred in the ophthalmic artery segment, accompanied by fatal intracranial hemorrhage and diffuse axonal injury, but no skull fracture. All 11 cases showed full-thickness rupture of the vessel wall, and the long axis of the wounds was perpendicular to those of the artery. Conclusion The incidence of intracranial internal carotid artery rupture in high-energy trauma events such as traffic accidents and high falls deserves attention. Injuries of the cavernous segment or ophthalmic segment might be more common. The main injury mechanism of intracranial internal carotid artery rupture might be that the blood vessels were pulled and the bone fragments caused damage.

Abstract
The influence of gut microbiota on brain function and brain disorders has been attracted more and more attention. Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), an indirect metabolite of gut microbiota, has been linked to aging, cognitive impairment, and other brain disorders. However, the relationship between TMAO and social behaviors are still poorly understood. Adult male mice were exposed to drinking water containing 3,3- Dimethyl-1-butanol (DMB), an indirect inhibitors of TMAO, for 21 continuous days followed by a series of behavioral tests to detect the effect of DMB exposure on social behaviors, mainly including social dominance test (SDT), bedding preference test (BP), sexual preference test (SP), social interaction test (SI), open field test (OFT), tail suspension test (TST), forced swim test (FST), novelty suppressed feeding test (NSF), and novel object recognition (NOR) task. In the SDT, compared with the control group, the mice treated with DMB (both 0.2% and 1.0%), both high-ranked and low-ranked mice, showed a reduction in the number of victories. There is no statistical difference on sexual preference, anxiety, depression-like behavior phenotype, and memory formation. In conclusion, the present findings provide direct evidence, for the first time, that repeated DMB exposure produces significant effects on social dominance of adult mice, without any effects on sexual preference, anxiety, depression-like behavior phenotype or memory formation, highlighting the regulatory effects of gut-brain interaction on social behaviors.

Abstract
Background:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex and heterogeneous autoimmune disease, usually involving multiple systems of the whole body (1). A variety of factors can affect SLE, such as genetic, environmental, immunoregulatory, hormonal and epigenetic (2). Long non-coding RNA is a type of RNA greater than 200 nucleotides that does not encode proteins. With the development of research, lncRNA gradually becomes the key regulator of gene expression in the immune system (3). Studies have shown that several lncRNAs, such as NEAT1 and GAS5 are dysregulated in SLE and are involved in the pathogenesis of SLE (4,5). These results suggest that lncRNA can be used as a potential biomarker for disease diagnosis and treatment. However, our current understanding of SLE related lncRNAS is still limited.Objectives:The purpose of this study was to find new lncRNAs in peripheral blood monouclear cells of SLE patients by transcriptome sequencing and explore their potential as biomarkers and their correlation with clinical features.Methods:Transcriptome sequencing was used to screen differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs) and mRNAs (DEMs). DAVID and WebGestalt were used to perform enrichment analysis. Cytoscape was used to constructed protein-protein network, co-expression network and competitive endogenous RNA network to reveal the regulatory mechanism of lncRNAs in transcriptome level. The expression of these selected lncRNAs in SLE patients and healthy controls were verified by qPCR.Results:A toal of 1737 DELs and 4078 DEMs were identified between 5 SLE patients and 5 healthy controls. Most of upregulated genes were enriched in defense and immune response, while downregulated genes were mainly enriched in SLE related pathways. Topology network analysis reveal the regulatory mechanism of lncRNAs in transcriptome level including directly acting on mRNA or indirectly affecting gene expression after acting on miRNA. Ten lncRNAs and eight genes was verified by qPCR in bigger samples including 77 SLE patients and 25 healthy controls. LncRNA NONHSAT101022.2 was significantly downregulated in SLE patients (p=0.001) and the expression of NONHSAT101022.2 showed a significant negative correlation with SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI, r=-0.3592, p=0.0013).Conclusion:In this work, we identified a large number of mRNAs and novel lncRNAs by transcriptome sequence. The function and regulatory mechanism of these lncRNAs were analyzed by bioinformatics methods. LncRNA NONHSAT101022.2 is significantly downregulated in SLE patients and significantly related to the activity and severity of disease. Additionally, we put forward that NONHSAT101022.2 may enhance the signal transduction of β2-AR by cis-regulating its target gene, LMBRD2, which induces NK cells to produce high levels of IFN-γ, thereby exacerbating SLE.References:[1]Carter EE, Barr SG, Clarke AE.

Abstract
Background:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common chronic autoimmune connective tissue disease that mainly involves the joints. The incidence of RA is 5 to 10 per 1000 people[1]. Early diagnosis and treatment of RA can effectively prevent disease progression, joint damage, and other complications in 90% of patients[2]. At present, serum biomarkers used in the diagnosis of established RA are rheumatoid factor and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody[3]. However, early RA especially serum RF and anti-CCP antibody-negative is difficult to diagnose due to the lack of effective biomarkers. Therefore, it is vital to identify new and effective biomarkers for the early diagnosis and treatment of RA.Objectives:This study aimed to identify new biomarkers and mechanisms for RA disease progression at the transcriptome level through a combination of microarray and bioinformatics analyses.Methods:Microarray datasets for synovial tissue in RA or osteoarthritis (OA) were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified by R software. Tissue/organ-specific genes were recognized by BioGPS. Enrichment analyses were performed and protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks were constructed to understand the functions and enriched pathways of DEGs and to identify hub genes. Cytoscape was used to construct the co-expressed network and competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks. Biomarkers with high diagnostic value for the early diagnosis of RA were validated by GEO datasets. The ggpubr package was used to perform statistical analyses with Student’s t-test.Results:A total of 275 DEGs were identified between 16 RA samples and 10 OA samples from the datasets GSE77298 and GSE82107. Among these DEGs, 71 tissue/organ-specific expressed genes were recognized. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis indicated that DEGs are mostly enriched in immune response, immune-related biological process, immune system, and cytokine signal pathways. Fifteen hub genes and gene cluster modules were identified by Cytoscape. Eight haematologic/immune system-specific expressed hub genes were verified by GEO datasets. GZMA, PRC1, and TTK may be biomarkers for diagnosis of early RA through combined the analysis of the verification results and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. NEAT1-miR-212-3p/miR-132-3p/miR-129-5p-TTK, XIST-miR-25-3p/miR-129-5p-GZMA, and TTK_hsa_circ_0077158- miR-212-3p/miR-132-3p/miR-129-5p-TTK might be potential RNA regulatory pathways to regulate the disease progression of early RA.Conclusion:This work identified three haematologic/immune system-specific expressed genes, namely, GZMA, PRC1, and TTK, as potential biomarkers for the early diagnosis and treatment of RA and provided insight into the mechanisms of disease development in RA at the transcriptome level. In addition, we proposed that NEAT1-miR-212-3p/miR-132-3p/miR-129-5p-TTK, XIST-miR-25-3p/miR-129-5p-GZMA, and TTK_hsa_circ_0077158-miR-212-3p/miR-132-3p/miR-129-5p-TTK are potential RNA regulatory pathways that control disease progression in early RA.References:[1]Smolen JS, Aletaha D, McInnes IB: Rheumatoid arthritis.Lancet 2016, 388:2023-2038.[2]Aletaha D, Smolen JS: Diagnosis and Management of Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Review.Jama 2018, 320:1360-1372.[3]Aletaha D, Neogi T, Silman AJ, Funovits J, Felson DT, Bingham CO, 3rd, Birnbaum NS, Burmester GR, Bykerk VP, Cohen MD, et al: 2010 Rheumatoid arthritis classification criteria: an American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism collaborative initiative.Arthritis Rheum 2010, 62:2569-2581.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of systolic blood pressure (SBP) trajectories on cancers. Methods: The relevant data of 54, 888 employees of Kailuan (Group) Limited Liability Company who participated in the 3 health examinations from 2006-2007, 2008-2009, 2010-2011 were collected and the new onset cancer cases were recorded. The systolic blood pressure trajectory grouping was carried out using the blood pressure measurement values of the 3 physical examinations. The life table method was used to calculate the incidence of cancer, and the multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to analyze the influence factors of cancer. Results: According to the systolic blood pressure trajectory, 54, 888 subjects were divided into 5 groups, including 14, 326 in the low-stable group, 25, 630 in the moderate-stable group, 5, 390 in the moderate-increasing group, 6, 438 in the elevated-lowering group, and 3, 104 in the elevated-stable group. A total of 1, 070 new onset cancer occurred during the follow-up period of (4.95±0.53) years. The incidence of cancer in the low-stable group, moderate-stable group, moderate-increasing group, elevated-lowering group and elevated-stable group were 1.3% (177/14, 326), 2.2% (491/25, 360), 3.1% (147/5, 390), 2.7% (156/6, 438) and 3.8% (99/3, 104), respectively, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). After adjusting for gender, age, smoking, drinking, physical exercise, body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, antihypertensive drugs, hypoglycemic drugs, and lipid-lowering drugs, multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the systolic blood pressure trajectory was related to the incidence of cancer. Compared with the low-stable group, the Hazard ratio (HR) in the moderate-stable group, moderate-increasing group, elevated-lowering group and elevated-stable group were 1.413, 1.731, 1.557 and 1.907, respectively (all P<0.001). Conclusion: High systolic blood pressure trajectories is the risk factor for cancer.

Abstract
Hippocampal neurogenesis is known to be related to depressive symptoms. Increasing evidence indicates that Wnt/β-catenin signaling regulates multiple aspects of adult hippocampal neurogenesis. Baicalin is a major flavonoid compound with multiple pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and neuroprotective effects. The current study aimed to explore the antidepressant effects of baicalin and its possible molecular mechanisms affecting hippocampal neurogenesis via the regulation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. A chronic mild unpredictable stress (CUMS) model of depression was used in the study. The CUMS-induced mice were treated with baicalin (50 and 100 mg/kg) for 21 days, orally, and the fluoxetine was used as positive control drug. The results indicated that baicalin alleviated CUMS-induced depression-like behaviour, and improved the nerve cells' survival of the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) in CUMS-induced depression of model mice and increased Ki-67- and doublecortin (DCX)-positive cells to restore CUMS-induced suppression of hippocampal neurogenesis. The related proteins in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, which declined in the CUMS-induced depression model of mice, were upregulated after baicalin treatment, including Wingless3a (Wnt3a), dishevelled2 (DVL2), and β-catenin. Further study found that the phosphorylation rate of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β) and β-catenin nuclear translocation increased, as the levels of the β-catenin target genes cyclinD1, c-myc, NeuroD1, and Ngn2 upregulated after baicalin treatment. In conclusion, these findings suggest that baicalin may promote hippocampal neurogenesis, thereby exerting the antidepressant effect via regulation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Abstract
Both sarcopenia and low bone mineral density (BMD) have become public health concerns. We found that presarcopenic and/or sarcopenic individuals were more likely to have lower BMD. And this relationship has race and sex-specific discrepancy. PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to investigate the racial and gender differences in the relationship between sarcopenia and BMD among older adults. METHODS Totally, 5476 subjects (mean age = 65.7 ± 6.4) of non-Hispanic White (n = 3297), non-Hispanic Black (n = 1265), and non-Hispanic Asian (n = 914) were analyzed. Sarcopenia was defined according to the revised European consensus on definition and diagnosis of sarcopenia (EWGSOP2). General linear model and multivariable linear regression model were used to examine the relationship between sarcopenia and regional/whole body BMD stratified by race and sex. Adjustments were conducted for physiological, behavioral, and disease factors. RESULTS Comparing with normal older participants, presarcopenic and sarcopenic elderly were more likely to have lower BMD. Although the difference was not statistically significant in a few sub-groups, among the three racial groups, the strongest association between sarcopenia and BMD was found in non-Hispanic Black people, followed by non-Hispanic White people and non-Hispanic Asian people. In addition, significant differences of BMD across sarcopenia stages were found in more sub-groups in women than in men after adjusting for covariates. CONCLUSIONS In this older cohort, sarcopenia is significantly related to low regional/whole-body BMD, and these associations vary by race and sex. Consideration in race and sex is warranted when developing strategies to maintain or minimize BMD loss.
