Abstract
Background Alopecia areata (AA) and atopic dermatitis (AD) are chronic skin diseases where the suboptimal medication adherence (MA) may result in poor clinical outcomes. Objective To assess the impact of AA on MA among adults compared to AD. Methods Patient reported MA of adults with AA were compared with AD. Patients were identified from the Danish Skin Cohort, a nationwide prospective cohort of dermatological patients in Denmark. We used the Medication Adherence Report Scale- 5, a self-reporting questionnaire, to assess MA. Demographic and disease characteristics were collected. Logistic regression was conducted. Results Patients with AA reported higher MA than AD (mean 21.81 vs 18.29). Logistic regression analyses showed AA diagnosis had a statistically significant positive effect on MA (odds ratio = 3.94, 95% CI 2.01-8.89). Men reported significantly higher MA (odds ratio = 1.49, 95% CI 1.14-1.94). Current disease severity did not impact MA. Limitations Data were self-reported by patients. Data regarding the specific treatment undergone by patients were not available. Conclusion Patients with AA have significantly higher MA compared to patients with AD. The stability of AA patients' symptoms may lead to higher MA due to a desire for disease control. Conversely, the sporadicity of AD symptoms could negatively affect adherence, causing fluctuations in medication use.

Abstract
Spinal diseases, including intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), ankylosing spondylitis, spinal cord injury and other non‑infectious spinal diseases, severely affect the quality of life of patients. Current treatments for IDD and other spinal diseases can only relieve symptoms and do not completely cure the disease. Therefore, there is an urgent need to explore the causes of these diseases and develop new treatment approaches. Long non‑coding RNA (lncRNA), a form of non‑coding RNA, is abundant in diverse sources, has numerous functions, and plays an important role in the occurrence and development of spinal diseases such as IDD. However, the mechanism of action of lncRNAs has not been fully elucidated, and significant challenges remain in the use of lncRNAs as new therapeutic targets. The present article reviews the sources, classification and functions of lncRNAs, and introduces the role of lncRNAs in spinal diseases, such as IDD, and their therapeutic potential.

The association of obesogenic environments with weight status, blood pressure, and blood lipids: A cross-sectional pooled analysis across five cohorts. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 256:119227. [PMID: 38797463 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.119227] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
In this observational cross-sectional study, we investigated the relationship between combined obesogenic neighbourhood characteristics and various cardiovascular disease risk factors in adults, including BMI, systolic blood pressure, and blood lipids, as well as the prevalence of overweight/obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidaemia. We conducted a large-scale pooled analysis, comprising data from five Dutch cohort studies (n = 183,871). Neighbourhood obesogenicity was defined according to the Obesogenic Built-environmental CharacterisTics (OBCT) index. The index was calculated for 1000m circular buffers around participants' home addresses. For each cohort, the association between the OBCT index and prevalence of overweight/obesity, hypertension and dyslipidaemia was analysed using robust Poisson regression models. Associations with continuous measures of BMI, systolic blood pressure, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides were analysed using linear regression. All models were adjusted for age, sex, education level and area-level socio-economic status. Cohort-specific estimates were pooled using random-effects meta-analyses. The pooled results show that a 10 point higher OBCT index score was significantly associated with a 0.17 higher BMI (95%CI: 0.10 to 0.24), a 0.01 higher LDL-cholesterol (95% CI: 0.01 to 0.02), a 0.01 lower HDL cholesterol (95% CI: -0.02 to -0.01), and non-significantly associated with a 0.36 mmHg higher systolic blood pressure (95%CI: -0.14 to 0.65). A 10 point higher OBCT index score was also associated with a higher prevalence of overweight/obesity (PR = 1.03; 95% CI: 1.02 to 1.05), obesity (PR = 1.04; 95% CI: 1.01 to 1.08) and hypertension (PR = 1.02; 95% CI: 1.00 to 1.04), but not with dyslipidaemia. This large-scale pooled analysis of five Dutch cohort studies shows that higher neighbourhood obesogenicity, as measured by the OBCT index, was associated with higher BMI, higher prevalence of overweight/obesity, obesity, and hypertension. These findings highlight the importance of considering the obesogenic environment as a potential determinant of cardiovascular health.

Abstract
AIM To analyze the correlation of carotid stenosis severity, the Plaque Reporting and Data System (RADS) score, arterial transit artifacts (ATAs), and cerebral blood flow (CBF) with clinical cerebral ischemic symptoms in patients with carotid artery stenosis (CAS). MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-one patients with unilateral internal carotid artery stenosis or occlusion (≥50% stenosis) diagnosed by ultrasound, Computed Tomography(CT) angiography, or Magnetic Resonance(MR) angiography in Yichang City Central People's Hospital from January 2022 to February 2024 were retrospectively enrolled and divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of symptoms. Both groups underwent MR plaque imaging and arterial spin labeling (ASL)-based 3.0 T MRI to compare the differences in stenosis degree, Plaque-RADS score, ATA grade, and CBF between the two groups. Binary regression analysis was used to identify the parameters with statistically significant differences between the two groups and to evaluate their diagnostic efficacy using the area under the workup curve of the subjects. RESULTS The Plaque-RADS score, ATA grade, and CBF differences in the anterior cerebral artery(ACA)blood supply region were correlated with symptoms, and the areas under the ROC curves for the CBF differences in the ACA blood supply region, Plaque-RADS score, ATA grade and a joint model that combines all three to predict symptoms in CAS patients were 0.672, 0.796, 0.788 and 0.919, respectively. CONCLUSIONS CBF, Plaque-RADS and ATAs were identified as independent risk factors for symptoms in patients with CAS and have a certain predictive value for symptoms, and the combined predictive value is greater, potentially providing a more effective imaging modality for clinical treatment and evaluation.

Abstract
Background In the UK, obesity rates are rising concurrently with declining mortality rates. Yet, there is limited research on the shifts of mortality trends and the impact of obesity-related mortality. In this study, we examine mortality trends and the cause-specific proportional composition of deaths by body mass index. Methods We used primary healthcare records from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink between 2004 and 2019, linked to national death registration data. There were 880,683 individuals with at least one BMI measurement and a 5-year survival period. We used discrete Poisson regression and joinpoint analysis to estimate the all-cause and cause-specific mortality rate and significance of the trends. Findings Between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2019, all-cause mortality rates declined in the obese category by 3% on average per year (from 23.3 to 14.6 deaths per 1000 person years) in males and 2% on average per year (from 12.5 to 9.4 deaths per 1000 person years) in females. Cardiovascular disease mortality declined 7% on average per year (from 12.4 to 4.4 deaths per 1000 person years) in males and 4% on average per year (from 5.5 to 3.0 deaths per 1000 person years) in females in the obese category. Increases in mortality rates from neurological conditions occurred in all BMI categories in males and females. By the end of the study, cancers became the primary contributor of death in males in all BMI categories and females in the overweight category. Interpretation There have been significant declines in all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality in males and females, leading to a diversification of mortality, with cancers contributing to the highest proportion of deaths and increases in causes such as neurological and respiratory conditions. Further screening, prevention, and treatment implementation for a broader set of diseases is necessary for continued mortality improvements.

Abstract
Stem cell transplantation is a potential therapeutic strategy for ischemic stroke. However, despite many years of preclinical research, the application of stem cells is still limited to the clinical trial stage. Although stem cell therapy can be highly beneficial in promoting functional recovery, the precise mechanisms of action that are responsible for this effect have yet to be fully elucidated. Omics analysis provides us with a new perspective to investigate the physiological mechanisms and multiple functions of stem cells in ischemic stroke. Transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic analyses have become important tools for discovering biomarkers and analyzing molecular changes under pathological conditions. Omics analysis could help us to identify new pathways mediated by stem cells for the treatment of ischemic stroke via stem cell therapy, thereby facilitating the translation of stem cell therapies into clinical use. In this review, we summarize the pathophysiology of ischemic stroke and discuss recent progress in the development of stem cell therapies for the treatment of ischemic stroke by applying multi-level omics. We also discuss changes in RNAs, proteins, and metabolites in the cerebral tissues and body fluids under stroke conditions and following stem cell treatment, and summarize the regulatory factors that play a key role in stem cell therapy. The exploration of stem cell therapy at the molecular level will facilitate the clinical application of stem cells and provide new treatment possibilities for the complete recovery of neurological function in patients with ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF) is often associated with inflammatory cell infiltration and no effective therapy. Programmed death cell-1 (PD-1) and its ligand PD-L1 were playing critical roles in T cell coinhibition and exhaustion, but the role in RIF is unclear. Here the data analyses of serum from 122 IgA nephrology (IgAN) patients showed that high level of soluble PD-1(sPD-1) was an independent risk factor for RIF and renal function progression. PD-L1 was also overexpressed in renal interstitial tissues from both IgAN patients with high level of sPD-1 and the unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) mouse. PD-L1 was significantly overexpressed in HK-2 cells with upregulated collagen and α-SMA when stimulated by inflammation or hypoxia in vitro. Additionally, matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-2) could increase the level of sPD-1 in culture supernatant when added in co-culture system of HK-2 and jurkat cells, which implied serum sPD-1 of IgAN might be cleaved by MMP-2 from T cells infiltrated into the tubulointerstitial inflammatory microenvironment. Crucially, injection of PD-L1 fusion protein, the blocker of sPD-1, could ameliorate kidney fibrosis in UUO mice by increasing T cell coinhibition and exhaustion, suggesting the therapeutic potential of PD-L1 fusion targeting for renal fibrosis. Take together, it reveals a novel causal role of sPD-1 in serum and PD-L1 of renal interstitial tissues in the development of renal fibrosis of IgAN, and targeting sPD-1 in serum by PD-L1 fusion protein is a potential therapeutic approach to prevent renal fibrosis of IgAN.

Abstract
Engineering vascularized tissues remains a promising approach for treating ischemic cardiovascular diseases. The availability of 3D-bioprinted vascular grafts that induce therapeutic angiogenesis can help avoid necrosis and excision of ischemic tissues. Here, using a combination of living cells and biodegradable hydrogels, we fabricated 3D-printed biocompatible proangiogenic patches from endothelial cell-laden photo-crosslinked gelatin (EC-PCG) bioink and smooth muscle cell-encapsulated polyurethane (SMC-PU) bioink. Implantation of 3D-bioprinted proangiogenic patches in a mouse model showed that EC-PCG served as an angiogenic capillary bed, whereas patterned SMC-PU increased the density of microvessels. Moreover, the assembled patterns between EC-PCG and SMC-PU induced the geometrically guided generation of microvessels with blood perfusion. In a rodent model of hindlimb ischemia, the vascular patches rescued blood flow to distal tissues, prevented toe/foot necrosis, promoted muscle remodeling, and increased the capillary density, thereby improving the heat-escape behavior of ischemic animals. Thus, our 3D-printed vascular cell-laden bioinks constitute efficient and scalable biomaterials that facilitate the engineering of vascular patches capable of directing therapeutic angiogenesis for treating ischemic vascular diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exercise interventions show promise in the treatment of anxiety disorders, but effects on health-related quality of life (HR-QoL), work ability, and sick leave are little studied. We investigated these outcomes in a 12-week randomized controlled trial with a 1-year follow-up. METHODS Patients aged 18-65 (n = 222) with anxiety disorders from primary care centers in Gothenburg were randomized to a control group or one of two 12-week exercise intervention groups (low-intensity, [LI] and moderate/high-intensity, [HI]); 148 were evaluated at 12-weeks and 113 completed the 1-year follow-up. The EuroQol 5D (EQ5D; index and the visual analogue scale [VAS]), work ability score (WAS), presenteeism, and self-reported sick leave were assessed at baseline, 12 weeks, and 1 year. Improvements were defined by binary cut-offs for each scale. Binary logistic regression with odds ratios (OR) and 95 % confidence intervals (CI) were reported. RESULTS There were improved scores for EQ5D and WAS in the HI group compared to controls after 12 weeks (EQ5D index: 4.74 [1.91-11.7], EQ5D-VAS 4.00, [1.65-9.72], WAS 3.41 [1.24-7.37]) and 1 year (EQ5D index: 3.05 [1.05-8.81], EQ5D-VAS 3.20 [1.16-8.84], WAS 5.50 [1.85-16.3]). Post-hoc analysis showed higher ORs in participants on antidepressants (n = 75) (12-week EQ5D index: OR 9.95 [2.85-34.8]) and significant improvements in EQ5D scores for both intervention groups after 1 year. There were no between-group differences for presenteeism or sick leave. LIMITATIONS Discontinuation was high, mostly early after randomization (n = 74), as is common for anxiety interventions. CONCLUSIONS HI Exercise improves HR-QoL and work ability in anxiety patients, especially when combined with antidepressants.

Arch Gerontol Geriatr 2024; 124:105445. [PMID: 38733919 DOI: 10.1016/j.archger.2024.105445] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2024] [Revised: 03/24/2024] [Accepted: 04/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
OBJECT The relationship between sleep duration trajectories and cognitive decline remains uncertain. This study aims to examine the connections between various patterns of sleep duration and cognitive function. METHODS Group-based trajectory modeling (GBTM) was employed to identify longitudinal trajectories of sleep duration over four-year follow-up period, while considering age, sex and nap duration as adjustments. Logistic regression was utilized to analyze the association between sleep trajectories and cognition, with odds ratios (OR) and 95 % confidence intervals (CI) reported. Subgroup analyses based on various demographic characteristics were conducted to explore potential differences in sleep trajectories and cognitive decline across different population subgroups. RESULTS A total of 5061 participants were followed for four years, and three sleep duration trajectories were identified: high increasing (n = 2101, 41.6 %), stable increasing (n = 2087, 40.7 %), and low decreasing (n = 873, 17.7 %). After adjustment for basic demographic information, health status, and baseline cognition, the high increasing trajectory was found to be associated with cognitive decline in terms of global cognition (OR:1.52,95 %CI:1.18-1.96), mental intactness (OR:1.36,95 %CI:1.07-1.73) and episodic memory (OR:1.33, 95 %CI:1.05-1.67), as compared to stable increasing trajectory. These associations were particularly prominent among the non-elderly population (≤65 years) and those without depressive symptoms. CONCLUSION This study suggests that both high increasing and low decreasing sleep duration trajectories are linked to cognitive decline, as compared to the stable increasing trajectory. Long-term attention to changes in sleep duration facilitates early prevention of cognitive decline.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a growing amount of evidence on the association between cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and breast calcification. Thus, mammographic breast features have recently gained attention as CVD predictors. OBJECTIVE This study assessed the association of mammographic features, including benign calcification, microcalcification, and breast density, with cardiovascular diseases. METHODS This study comprised 6,878,686 women aged ≥40 who underwent mammographic screening between 2009 and 2012 with follow-up until 2020. The mammographic features included benign calcification, microcalcification, and breast density. The cardiovascular diseases associated with the mammographic features were assessed using logistic regression. RESULTS The prevalence of benign calcification, microcalcification, and dense breasts were 9.6 %, 0.9 % and 47.3 % at baseline, respectively. Over a median follow-up of 10 years, benign calcification and microcalcification were positively associated with an increased risk of chronic ischaemic heart disease whereas breast density was inversely associated with it; the corresponding aOR (95 % CI) was 1.14 (1.10-1.17), 1.19 (1.03-1.15), and 0.88 (0.85-0.90), respectively. A significantly increased risk of chronic ischaemic heart disease (IHD) was observed among women with benign calcifications (aHR, 1.14; 95 % CI 1.10-1.17) and microcalcifications (aOR, 1.19; 95 % CI 1.06-1.33). Women with microcalcifications had a 1.16-fold (95 % CI 1.03-1.30) increased risk of heart failure. CONCLUSIONS Mammographic calcifications were associated with an increased risk of chronic ischaemic heart diseases, whereas dense breast was associated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease. Thus, the mammographic features identified on breast cancer screening may provide an opportunity for cardiovascular disease risk identification and prevention.

Predictive value of total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio for chronic kidney disease among adult male and female in Northwest China. Chronic Dis Transl Med 2024; 10:216-226. [PMID: 39027193 PMCID: PMC11252436 DOI: 10.1002/cdt3.122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2024] [Revised: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Studies have found that the ratio of total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TC/HDL-C) was associated with the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the relationship in different genders was rarely discussed. The aim of this study was to explore this relationship and assess its predictive power for both males and females. Methods Based on a prospective cohort platform in northwest China, 32,351 participants without CKD were collected in the baseline and followed up for approximately 5 years. Cox proportional hazard model and restricted cubic spline regression analysis were performed to investigate the association between TC, HDL-C, TC/HDL-C and CKD in adult female and male. The clinical application value of the indicators in predicting CKD was evaluated by the receiver operator characteristic curve. Results During a mean follow-up of 2.2 years, 484 males and 164 females developed CKD. After adjusted for relevant confounders, for every one standard deviation increase in TC, HDL-C and TC/HDL-C, the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for CKD were 1.17 (1.05-1.31), 0.84 (0.71-0.99), and 1.15 (1.06-1.25) for males, 0.94 (0.78-1.13), 0.58 (0.35-0.95), and 1.19 (1.01-1.40) for females, respectively. The results also showed that TC, HDL-C, and TC/HDL-C were associated with CKD in a linear dose-response relationship. The TC/HDL-C had the largest area under the curve (AUC) compared to TC and HDL-C, and the AUC among the females was larger than that among males. Conclusions The TC/HDL-C was significantly associated with CKD in adult males and females and has better clinical value in predicting CKD than TC and HDL-C, especially in females.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Older adults in China are at a high risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), and impaired lower extremity function (LEF) is commonly observed in this demographic. This study aimed at assessing the association between LEF and CVD, thus providing valuable insights for clinical practice and public health policies. METHODS A sample of 4,636 individuals was included from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) dataset. Logistic regression and cox proportional hazard regression model was utilized to study the association between LEF and CVD incidence. Cross-lagged panel models were utilized to investigate the potential causal association between LEF and CVD over time. RESULTS Poor LEF was significantly associated with a higher risk of CVD in the total population [OR (95 % CI): 1.62 (1.27-2.05), P < 0.001]. Individuals with poor LEF demonstrated an increased risk of developing CVD [HR (95 % CI): 1.11 (1.02-1.23), P < 0.05], particularly stroke, compared to those with good LEF. And those with poor LEF had higher risks for heart disease [1.21 (1.00-1.45), P < 0.05] and stroke [1.98 (1.47-2.67), P < 0.001]. CONCLUSION The results suggest the potential usefulness of the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) for classifying stroke risk in older Chinese adults, which also suggested that preventing and/or improving LEF may be beneficial for reducing stroke incidence and promoting healthy aging for older adults.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heart rate variability (HRV) is a useful tool for evaluating cardiovascular autonomic nervous system (ANS) functions. This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the potential effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) protocols on HRV parameters. METHODS This study acquired 97 comparisons from 24 qualified studies for data synthesis. Using standardized mean difference (SMD), individual and overall effect sizes were estimated to show differences in HRV variables between active tDCS and sham stimulation conditions. More positive effect size values indicated that active tDCS caused greater increases in HRV than sham stimulation. Furthermore, moderator variable analyses were performed to determine whether changes in HRV variables differed depending on (a) task types (physical stress versus psychological stress versus resting condition), (b) targeted brain regions, (c) stimulation polarity, (d) characteristics of participants, and (e) specific HRV variables. Finally, we used meta-regression analyses to determine whether different tDCS parameters (i.e., the number of tDCS sessions, stimulation duration, and density) were associated with changes in HRV patterns. RESULTS The random-effects model meta-analysis showed that tDCS protocols significantly improved HRV variables (SMD = 0.400; P < 0.001). Moreover, for increasing HRV during the physical stress task (SMD = 1.352; P = 0.001), anodal stimulation on the M1 was effective, while combined polarity stimulation on the PFC improved HRV during the psychological stress task (SMD = 0.550; P < 0.001) and resting condition (SMD = 0.192; P = 0.012). Additional moderator variables and meta-regression analyses failed to show that tDCS protocols had positive effects in certain conditions, such as different stimulus polarity, characteristics of participants, specific HRV variables, and tDCS parameters. CONCLUSION These findings tentatively suggest that using tDCS protocols to stimulate optimal targeted brain areas may be effective in improving HRV patterns potentially related to cardiovascular ANS functions.

Abstract
Residential greenness is considered beneficial to human health, and its association with respiratory function has been found in previous studies. However, its link with pneumonia remains unclear. To explore the association of residential greenness with incident pneumonia, we conducted a prospective cohort study based on participants of the UK Biobank, followed from 2006 to 2010 to the end of 2019. Residential greenness was measured by Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) within 500 m and 1000 m buffer. Cox proportional hazard models were conducted to assess the association, and restricted cubic spline models were also constructed to estimate their exposure-response relationship. Results demonstrate that residential greenness was negatively related to the risk of incident pneumonia. An interquartile (IQR) increase in NDVI 500-m buffer was associated with 4 % [HR (95 % CI) =0.96 (0.94, 0.97), P < 0.001] lower risk of incident pneumonia. Compared to the lowest greenness quartile (Q1), the highest quartile (Q4) had a lower risk of incident pneumonia, with the HR (95 % CI) estimated to be 0.91 (0.87, 0.95) (P values <0.001). Analyses based on NDVI 1000-m buffer obtained similar results. Furthermore, a significant effect of modifications by age and income on the linkage between residential greenness and incident pneumonia was found. These findings propose a potential effective prevention of incident pneumonia and provide the scientific basis for promoting the construction of residential greenness.

Abstract
The neuroinflammatory response triggered by cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) is characterized by the upsurge of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, which promote leukocyte infiltration and subsequent accumulation in the ischemic zone. This accumulation further intensifies inflammation and aggravates ischemic damage. Certolizumab pegol (CZP), a monoclonal antibody targeting TNF-α, is widely used in treating various inflammatory diseases. This study explored the therapeutic potential of CZP in a mouse model of CIRI, induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), focusing on its influence on the microglial inflammatory response. In vitro analyses revealed that CZP markedly inhibits TNF-α-stimulated inflammation in primary microglia with an EC50 of 1.743 ng/mL. In vivo, MCAO mice treated with CZP (10 μg/mouse, i.p.) for 3 days showed reduced infarct volume, partially improved neurological function, and diminished blood-brain barrierdisruption. Additionally, CZP treatment curtailed microglial activation and the release of pro-inflammatory mediators in the early stages of stroke. It also favorably modulated microglial M1/M2 polarization, rebalanced Th17/Treg cells dynamics, and inhibited Caspase-8-mediated GSDMD cleavage, preventing microglial pyroptosis. Collectively, this study described that the treatment with CZP reversed damaging process caused by CIRI, offering a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of ischemic stroke.

J Affect Disord 2024; 359:59-69. [PMID: 38768819 DOI: 10.1016/j.jad.2024.05.079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2024] [Revised: 05/11/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study intends to explore the effect of depressive symptoms on adverse clinical outcomes in middle-aged and elderly hypertensive patients. METHODS This post hoc analysis was conducted using data from the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT), and we used cox proportional risk regression to examine the relationship between depressive symptoms and adverse clinical outcomes (primary outcome, all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease(CVD) mortality, heart failure(HF), myocardial infarction(MI), non-myocardial infarction acute coronary syndrome(non-MI ACS)). RESULTS In a follow-up study of 9259 participants, we found that depression symptoms was significantly and positively associated with the primary outcome (HR 1.03, 95%CI 1.01-1.05; p for trend = 0.0038), all-cause mortality (HR 1.03, 95%CI 1.01-1.05; p for trend = 0.0308), HF(HR 1.05, 95%CI 1.01-1.08; p for trend = 0.0107), and non-MI ACS(HR 1.06, 95%CI 1.01-1.10; p for trend = 0.0120). Kaplan-Meier survival curves for depression symptoms severity (none, mild, moderate, and above) and adverse clinical outcomes suggested that for all but primary clinical outcomes, the cumulative risk of adverse clinical outcomes increased with increasing depression symptoms severity. CONCLUSION For middle-aged and elderly hypertensive patients, depression symptoms exacerbates the risk of adverse clinical outcomes (primary outcome, all-cause mortality, CVD death, MI, HF, and non-MI ACS), and the risk increases with the severity of depression symptoms.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 475:134861. [PMID: 38870855 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134861] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2024] [Revised: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024]
Abstract
Effect modification of integrated neighborhood environment on associations of air pollution with mortality remained unclear. We analyzed data from UK biobank prospective study (n = 421,650, median 12.5 years follow-up) to examine disparities of mortality risk associated with air pollution among varied neighborhood settings. Fine particulate matter (PM2.5), PM10 and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) were measured and assigned to each participants' address. Diverse ecological and societal settings of neighborhoods were integrated with principal component analysis and categorized into disadvantaged, intermediate and advantaged levels. We estimated mortality risk associated with air pollution across diverse neighborhoods using Cox regression. We calculated community-level proportions of mortality attributable to air pollutants. There was evidence of higher all-cause and respiratory disease mortality risk associated with PM2.5 and NO2 among those in disadvantaged neighborhoods. In disadvantaged communities, air pollutants explained larger proportions of deaths and such disparities persisted over past decades. Across 2010-2021, reducing PM2.5 and NO2 to 10 μg/m3 (World Health Organization limits) would save 87,000 (52,000-120,000) and 91,000 (37,000-145,000) deaths of populations aged ≥ 40 years, with 150 000 deaths occurred in disadvantaged neighborhood settings. These findings suggested that disadvantaged neighborhoods can exacerbate mortality risk associated with air pollution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spermidine (SPD) has a number of advantageous effects, including life extension and neuroprotection. However, few observational studies have investigated the association of dietary SPD intake with depression. METHODS We used data from the 2005-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and the corresponding Food Patterns Equivalents Database (FPED). SPD content of food groups from published data were merged with the appropriate FPED data to estimate the SPD intake for each subject. Patients with Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) scores of 10 or above were thought to experience clinically relevant depression symptoms. Logistic regression, sensitivity analysis, and restricted cubic spline (RCS) were used. RESULTS Among the 19,306 participants, the overall prevalence of depression was 8.72 %. After controlling for relevant confounders, individuals in the highest tertile or quartile of total SPD and SPD derived from fruits, vegetables, cereals, nuts, eggs and seafood had a significantly lower prevalence of depression (OR total SPD = 0.77, 95 % CI: 0.63-0.93); OR fruit-sourced SPD = 0.81, 95 % CI: 0.68-0.95; OR vegetable-sourced SPD = 0.72, 95 % CI: 0.61-0.85; OR cereals-sourced SPD = 0.73,95 % CI:0.60-0.88; OR nuts- sourced SPD = 0.80, 95 % CI: 0.71-0.91; OR egg-sourced = 0.72, 95 % CI: 0.62-0.84 and OR seafood-sourced SPD = 0.65, 95 % CI: 0.55-0.77) comparing those in the lowest tertile or quartile. CONCLOUSION Our fndings reveal a negative association between dietary SPD intake and depression.

J Affect Disord 2024; 359:100-108. [PMID: 38772504 DOI: 10.1016/j.jad.2024.05.076] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2024] [Revised: 05/11/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/23/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Impulsivity increases the risk for depression and anxiety. However, the granular pathways among them remain unknown. A network approach that moves from disorder-level analysis to symptom-level analysis can provide further understanding of psychopathological mechanisms. In this study, we examined the network structure of impulsivity and separate and comorbid symptoms of depression and anxiety. METHODS Regularized partial-correlation networks were estimated using cross-sectional data from 1047 Chinese participants aged 18-26 years (main dataset, mean age = 21.45 ± 2.01 years) and 325 Chinese participants aged 18-36 years (an independent replication dataset, mean age = 21.49 ± 3.73 years), including impulsivity-depression, impulsivity-anxiety, and impulsivity-depression-anxiety networks. The datasets were collected from 1 June 2023 to 4 August 2023 and from 27 April 2022 to 16 May 2022, respectively. Impulsivity, depression, and anxiety were assessed using Barratt Impulsiveness Scale Version 11, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, respectively. Bridge centrality was analyzed, and a network comparison test (NCT) was conducted to investigate the differences between the main dataset and replication dataset. RESULTS The motor impulsivity dimension was revealed to be closely connected with individual symptoms of depression and anxiety regardless of whether they were in separate disorder forms or comorbid forms. In all the networks, motor impulsivity was the most important bridge node. The NCT showed comparable network connectivity and network structure between the main and replication datasets. LIMITATIONS The use of cross-sectional data limited the inferences about the direction of causality between variables. CONCLUSIONS These findings elucidate the psychopathological mechanisms underlying how impulsivity functions within depression, anxiety, and comorbidity and support that motor impulsivity is an important risk factor across different mental disorders and is responsible for comorbidity. The implications of these findings are discussed.

Wogonin ameliorates ER stress-associated inflammatory response, apoptotic death and renal fibrosis in a unilateral ureteral obstruction mouse model. Eur J Pharmacol 2024; 977:176676.

Abstract
Wogonin, a vital bioactive compound extracted from the medicinal plant, Scutellaria baicalensis, has been wildly used for its potential in mitigating the progression of chronic diseases. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a significant global health challenge due to its high prevalence, morbidity and mortality rates, and associated complications. This study aimed to assess the potential of wogonin in attenuating renal fibrosis and to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms using a unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) mouse model as a CKD mimic. Male mice, 8 weeks old, underwent orally administrated of either 50 mg/kg/day of wogonin or positive control of 5 mg/kg/day candesartan following UUO surgery. NRK52E cells were exposed to tumor growth factors-beta (TGF-β) to evaluate the anti-fibrotic effects of wogonin. The results demonstrated that wogonin treatment effectively attenuated TGF-β-induced fibrosis markers in NRK-52E cells. Additionally, administration of wogonin significantly improved histopathological alterations and downregulated the expression of pro-fibrotic factors (Fibronectin, α-smooth muscle actin, Collagen IV, E-cadherin, and TGF-β), oxidative stress markers (Catalase, superoxide dismutase 2, NADPH oxidase 4, and thioredoxin reductase 1), inflammatory molecules (Cyclooxygenase-2 and TNF-α), and the infiltration of neutrophils and macrophages in UUO mice. Furthermore, wogonin treatment mitigated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-associated molecular markers (GRP78, GRP94, ATF4, CHOP, and the caspase cascade) and suppressed apoptosis. The findings indicate that wogonin treatment ameliorates key fibrotic aspects of CKD by attenuating ER stress-related apoptosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress, suggesting its potential as a future therapeutic target.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The bidirectional relationship between physical health (PH) and depressive symptoms (DS) remains unclear. METHODS Data were extracted from the Health and Retirement Study in the United States. PH was measured with a composite of chronic diseases, functional limitations and difficulties in basic and instrumental activities of daily living, and DS with a modified Center for Epidemiological Studies of Depression. Latent growth curve models (LGCM) were employed to examine how the change in PH or DS affected their mutual trajectories in later life. In addition, multilevel models were utilized. RESULTS There were 6144 participants included, with an average age of 69.82 ± 6.85 years at baseline, of whom 3686 (59.99 %) were women. PH scores increased from 5.65 in 2010 to 7.72 in 2018, while depression scores increased from 1.14 to 1.31. LGCM results showed that the initial levels of PH and DS were associated (β = 0.558, P < .001), and the initial level of PH could predict the trajectory of DS (β = 0.089, P < .001). Likewise, the initial level of DS was also related to initial PH (β = -0.563, P < .001) but couldn't predict the trajectory of PH. Furthermore, the slopes of PH and DS were predicted bidirectionally by each other. Two-level logistic models further demonstrated the bidirectional association between PH and DS. CONCLUSION There was a bidirectional association between physical health and depressive symptoms, which highlights the necessity of comprehensive health management for older adults with poor physical health or depression symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies have been conducted on the relationship between depression and thyroid diseases and function, its causal relationship remains unclear. METHODS Using summary statistics of genome-wide association studies of European and East Asian ancestry, we conducted 2-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization to estimate the association between MDD and thyroid function (European: normal range TSH, T4, T3, fT4, TPOAb levels and TPOAb-positives; East Asian: T4) and thyroid diseases (hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis), and used Mediation analysis to evaluate potential mediators (alcohol intake, antidepressant) of the association and calculate the mediated proportions. RESULTS It was observed a significant causal association between MDD on hypothyroidism (P = 8.94 × 10-5), hyperthyroidism (P = 8.68 × 10-3), and hashimoto's thyroiditis (P = 3.97 × 10-5) among European ancestry, which was mediated by Alcohol intake (alcohol intake versus 10 years previously for hypothyroidism (P = 0.026), hashimoto's thyroiditis (P = 0.042), and alcohol intake frequency for hypothyroidism (P = 0.015)) and antidepressant (for hypothyroidism (P = 0.008), hashimoto's thyroiditis (P = 0.010)), but not among East Asian ancestry (PMDD-hypothyroidism = 0.016, but β direction was different; PMDD-hyperthyroidism = 0.438; PMDD-hashimoto's thyroiditis = 0.496). There was no evidence for bidirectional causal association between thyroid function mentioned above and MDD among both ancestry (all P > 0.05). CONCLUSION We importantly observed a significant causal association between MDD on risk of hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and hashimoto's thyroiditis among European ancestry, and Alcohol intake and antidepressant as mediators for prevention of hypothyroidism, hashimoto's thyroiditis attributable to MDD.

[PMID: 38768675 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.124176] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2024] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024]
Abstract
Scant research has pinpointed the year of minimum PM2.5 concentration through extensive, uninterrupted monitoring, nor has it thoroughly assessed carcinogenic risks associated with analyzing numerous components during this nadir in Beijing. This study endeavored to delineate the atmospheric PM2.5 pollution in Beijing from 2015 to 2022 and to undertake comprehensive evaluation of carcinogenic risks associated with the composition of atmospheric PM2.5 during the year exhibiting the lowest concentration. PM2.5 concentrations were monitored gradually in 9 districts of Beijing for 7 consecutive days per month from 2015 to 2022, and 32 kinds of PM2.5 components collected in the lowest PM2.5 concentration year were analyzed. This comprehensive dataset served as the basis for carcinogenic risk assessment using Monte Carlo simulation. And we applied the Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) method to identity the sources of atmospheric PM2.5. Furthermore, we integrated this source appointment model with risk assessment model to discern the origins of these risks. The findings revealed that the annual average PM2.5 concentration in 2022 stood at 43.1 μg/m3, marking the lowest level recorded. The mean carcinogenic risks of atmospheric PM2.5 exposure calculated at 6.30E-6 (empirical 95% CI 1.09E-6 to 2.25E-5) in 2022. The PMF model suggested that secondary sources (35.4%), coal combustion (25.6%), resuspended dust (15.1%), biomass combustion (14.1%), vehicle emissions (7.1%), industrial emissions (2.0%) and others (0.7%) were the main sources of atmospheric PM2.5 in Beijing. The mixed model revealed that coal combustion (2.41E-6), vehicle emissions (1.90E-6) and industrial emissions (1.32E-6) were the main sources of carcinogenic risks with caution. Despite a continual decrease in atmospheric PM2.5 concentration in recent years, the lowest concentration levels still pose non-negligible carcinogenic risks. Notably, the carcinogenic risks associated with metals and metalloids exceeded that of PAHs. And the distribution of risk sources did not align proportionally with the distribution of PM2.5 mass concentration.

World J Diabetes 2024; 15:1742-1752. [DOI: 10.4239/wjd.v15.i8.1742] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2024] [Revised: 05/23/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent research has underscored the potentially protective role of dietary antioxidants against chronic conditions, such as cardiovascular diseases and stroke. The composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI), which reflects the overall intake of key dietary antioxidants, has been identified as a crucial metric for exploring this relationship. Although previous research has shown a negative correlation between CDAI levels and stroke risk in prediabetic individuals, there remains a substantial gap in understanding this association among individuals with dia-betes, who are at an inherently greater risk for cerebrovascular events.
AIM To investigate the association between CDAI and stroke risk in individuals with diabetes.
METHODS Using a cross-sectional study design, this investigation analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey spanning from 2003 to 2018 that included 6735 participants aged over 20 years with diabetes. The CDAI was calculated from 24-h dietary recalls to assess intake of key antioxidants: Vitamins A, C, and E; carotenoids; selenium; and zinc. Multivariate logistic regression and restricted cubic spline analysis were used to rigorously examine the relationship between CDAI and stroke risk.
RESULTS The participant cohort, with an average age of 59.5 years and a slight male majority, reflected the broader demographic characteristics of individuals with diabetes. The analysis revealed a strong inverse relationship between CDAI levels and stroke risk. Remarkably, those in the highest quintile of CDAI demonstrated a 43% lower prevalence of stroke compared to those in the lowest quintile, even after adjustments for various confounders. This finding not only highlights the negative association between CDAI and stroke risk but also underscores the significant potential of antioxidant-rich diets in reducing stroke prevalence among patients with diabetes.
CONCLUSION Our findings suggested that CDAI was inversely associated with stroke prevalence among patients with diabetes. These results suggest incorporating antioxidant-rich foods into dietary regimens as a potential strategy for stroke prevention.

[PMID: 38848944 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2024.122786] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2024] [Revised: 05/01/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024]
Abstract
Gangliosides represent glycolipids containing sialic acid residues, present on the cell membrane with glycan residues exposed to the extracellular matrix (ECM), while the ceramides are anchored within the membrane. These molecules play a critical role in pathophysiological processes such as host-pathogen interactions, cell-cell recognition, signal transduction, cell adhesion, motility, and immunomodulation. Accumulated evidence suggests the overexpression of gangliosides on tumor tissues in comparison to healthy human tissues. These tumor-associated gangliosides have been implicated in various facets of tumor biology, including cell motility, differentiation, signaling, immunosuppression, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Consequently, these entities emerge as attractive targets for immunotherapeutic interventions. Notably, the administration of antibodies targeting gangliosides has demonstrated cytotoxic effects on cancer cells that exhibit an overexpression of these glycolipids. Passive immunotherapy approaches utilizing murine or murine/human chimeric anti-ganglioside antibodies have been explored as potential treatments for diverse cancer types. Additionally, vaccination strategies employing tumor-associated gangliosides in conjunction with adjuvants have entered the realm of promising techniques currently undergoing clinical trials. The present comprehensive review encapsulates the multifaceted roles of gangliosides in tumor initiation, progression, immunosuppression, and metastasis. Further, an overview is provided of the correlation between the expression status of gangliosides in normal and tumor cells and its impact on cancer patient survival. Furthermore, the discussion extends to ongoing and completed clinical trials employing diverse strategies to target gangliosides, elucidating their effectiveness in treating cancers. This emerging discipline is expected to supply substantial impetus for the establishment of novel therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, a novel surrogate indicator for insulin resistance (IR), is believed to be associated with various diseases. However, its connection with cognitive decline remains controversy. METHODS The PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Medline databases were systematically searched up to October 2023 to assess the association between the TyG index and the risk of cognitive decline. Effect estimates and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using a random-effects model. RESULTS Our review included 3 cohort studies and 9 case-control/cross-sectional studies with a total of 5,603,350 participants. In comparison to a low TyG index, a higher TyG index was connected to an elevated risk of cognitive decline (RR/HR = 1.14, 95 % CI [1.11, 1.17], P < 0.05; OR = 1.75, 95 % CI [1.34, 2.29], P < 0.05). Furthermore, the dose-response analysis from the case-control/cross-sectional studies revealed a 1.42 times higher risk of cognitive decline per 1 mg/dl increment of the TyG index (OR = 1.42, 95 % CI [1.19, 1.69], P < 0.05). LIMITATIONS The inclusion of observational studies in the meta-analysis demonstrated a lower hierarchy of evidence compared to randomized controlled trials. Moreover, we incorporated a restricted number of studies and identified significant heterogeneity among them, potentially attributed to the presence of numerous confounding variables. CONCLUSION TyG index is related to cognitive decline. In view of some of the limitations of this study, further research will be necessary to confirm this relationship.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inter-hemispheric cooperation is a prominent feature of the human brain, and previous neuroimaging studies have revealed aberrant inter-hemispheric cooperation patterns in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). Typically, inter-hemispheric cooperation is examined by calculating the functional connectivity (FC) between each voxel in one hemisphere and its anatomical (structurally homotopic) counterpart in the opposite hemisphere. However, bilateral hemispheres are actually asymmetric in anatomy. METHODS In the present study, we utilized connectivity between functionally homotopic voxels (CFH) to investigate abnormal inter-hemispheric cooperation in 96 MDD patients compared to 173 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HCs). In addition, we analyzed the spatial correlations between abnormal CFH and the density maps of 13 neurotransmitter receptors and transporters. RESULTS The CFH values in bilateral orbital frontal gyri and bilateral postcentral gyri were abnormally decreased in patients with MDD. Furthermore, these CFH abnormalities were correlated with clinical symptoms. In addition, the abnormal CFH pattern in MDD patients was spatially correlated with the distribution pattern of 5-HT1AR. LIMITATIONS drug effect; the cross-sectional research design precludes causal inferences; the neurotransmitter atlases selected were constructed from healthy individuals rather than MDD patients. CONCLUSION These findings characterized the abnormal inter-hemispheric cooperation in MDD using a novel method and the underlying neurotransmitter mechanism, which promotes our understanding of the pathophysiology of depression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to assess the specific PM2.5-bound metallic elements that contribute to asthma emergency department visits by using a case-crossover study design. METHODS This study analyzed data from 11,410 asthma emergency department visits as case group and 22,820 non-asthma onset dates occurring one week and two weeks preceding the case day as controls from 2017 to 2020. PM2.5 monitoring data and 35 PM.2.5-bound metallic elements from six different regions in Taiwan were collected. Conditional logistic regression models were used to assess the relationship between asthma and PM2.5-bound metallic elements. RESULTS Our investigation revealed a statistically significant risk of asthma emergency department visits associated with PM2.5 exposure at lag 0, 1, 2, and 3 during autumn. Additionally, PM2.5-bound hafnium (Hf), thallium (Tl), rubidium (Rb), and aluminum (Al) exhibited a consistently significant positive correlation with asthma emergency department visits at lags 1, 2, and 3. In stratified analyses by area, age, and sex, PM2.5-bound Hf showed a significant and consistent correlation. CONCLUSIONS This study provides evidence of PM2.5-bound metallic elements effects in asthma exacerbations, particularly for Hf. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the origins of these metallic elements and pursuing emission reductions to mitigate regional health risks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Detecting potential depression and identifying the critical predictors of depression among older adults with chronic diseases are essential for timely intervention and management of depression. Therefore, risk prediction models (RPMs) of depression in elderly people should be further explored. METHODS A total of 3959 respondents aged 60 years or over from the wave four survey of the China Health and Retired Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) were included in this study. We used five machine learning (ML) algorithms and three data balancing techniques to construct RPMs of depression and calculated feature importance scores to determine which features are essential to depression. RESULTS The prevalence of depression was 19.2 % among older Chinese adults with chronic diseases in the wave four survey. The random forest (RF) model was more accurate than the other models after balancing the data using the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) algorithm, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and area under the precision-recall curve (AUPRC) of 0.957 and 0.920, respectively, a balanced accuracy of 0.891 and a sensitivity of 0.875. Furthermore, we further identified several important predictors between male and female patients via constructed sex-stratified models. LIMITATIONS Further research on the clinical impact studies of our models and external validation are needed. CONCLUSIONS After several techniques were used to address class imbalance issues, most RPMs achieved satisfactory accuracy in predicting depression among elderly people with chronic diseases. RPMs may thus become valuable screening tools for both older individuals and healthcare practitioners to assess the risk of depression.

Abstract
Metals/metalloids, being ubiquitous in the environment, can function as a co-selective pressure on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) threatening human health. However, the effect of geogenic arsenic (As) on groundwater antibiotic resistomes and their health risks remain largely unknown. Here, we systematically analyzed bacterial communities, pathogenic bacteria, antibiotic resistomes, and in-situ multidrug-resistant isolates with the assessment of the health risk of ARGs and the pathogenicity of their hosts in high As groundwater from the Hetao basin, Northwestern China. We found that long-term geogenic As exposure shifted the assembly of resistomes and resulted in a high abundance and diversity of ARGs in groundwater. Significantly positive associations among As, As cycling genes, ARGs, and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) revealed by network and pathway analyses, together with genetic evidence of As-tolerant multidrug-resistant isolates by whole genomic sequencing, robustly indicate the geogenic As-induced co-selection for antibiotic resistance in groundwater. Variance partitioning analysis further confirmed the determinative role of geogenic As in groundwater resistomes, with As species and As cycling genes as the core abiotic and biotic drivers, respectively. More seriously, geogenic As accelerated the prevalence of high-risk ARGs and multidrug-resistant bacteria. Our findings highlight the significance of geogenic As-induced co-selection for antibiotic resistance in groundwater and the hidden role of geogenic metals/metalloids in increasing antibiotic resistance. This study provides a basis for groundwater management of both high As and ARGs for human health.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 475:134870. [PMID: 38876019 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134870] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2024] [Revised: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 06/08/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024]
Abstract
Exposure to ozone (O3) has been associated with cardiovascular outcomes in humans, yet the underlying mechanisms of the adverse effect remain poorly understood. We aimed to investigate the association between O3 exposure and glycerophospholipid metabolism in healthy young adults. We quantified plasma concentrations of phosphatidylcholines (PCs) and lysophosphatidylcholines (lysoPCs) using a UPLC-MS/MS system. Time-weighted personal exposures were calculated to O3 and co-pollutants over 4 time windows, and we employed orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis to discern differences in lipids profiles between high and low O3 exposure. Linear mixed-effects models and mediation analysis were utilized to estimate the associations between O3 exposure, lipids, and cardiovascular physiology indicators. Forty-three healthy adults were included in this study, and the mean (SD) time-weighted personal exposures to O3 was 9.08 (4.06) ppb. With shorter exposure durations, O3 increases were associated with increasing PC and lysoPC levels; whereas at longer exposure times, the opposite relationship was shown. Furthermore, two specific lipids, namely lysoPC a C26:0 and lysoPC a C17:0, showed significantly positive mediating effects on associations of long-term O3 exposure with pulse wave velocity and systolic blood pressure, respectively. Alterations in specific lipids may underlie the cardiovascular effects of O3 exposure.

Temporal Trends and Racial Disparities in Long-Term Survival After Stroke. Neurology 2024; 103:e209653. [PMID: 39008784 PMCID: PMC11249510 DOI: 10.1212/wnl.0000000000209653] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Few studies have examined trends and disparities in long-term outcome after stroke in a representative US population. We used a population-based stroke study in the Greater Cincinnati Northern Kentucky region to examine trends and racial disparities in poststroke 5-year mortality. METHODS All patients with acute ischemic strokes (AISs) and intracerebral hemorrhages (ICHs) among residents ≥20 years old were ascertained using ICD codes and physician-adjudicated using a consistent case definition during 5 periods: July 1993-June 1994 and calendar years 1999, 2005, 2010, and 2015. Race was obtained from the medical record; only those identified as White or Black were included. Premorbid functional status was assessed using the modified Rankin Scale, with a score of 0-1 being considered "good." Mortality was assessed with the National Death Index. Trends and racial disparities for each subtype were analyzed with logistic regression. RESULTS We identified 8,428 AIS cases (19.3% Black, 56.3% female, median age 72) and 1,501 ICH cases (23.5% Black, 54.8% female, median age 72). Among patients with AIS, 5-year mortality improved after adjustment for age, race, and sex (53% in 1993/94 to 48.3% in 2015, overall effect of study year p = 0.009). The absolute decline in 5-year mortality in patients with AIS was larger than what would be expected in the general population (5.1% vs 2.8%). Black individuals were at a higher risk of death after AIS (odds ratio [OR] 1.23, 95% CI 1.08-1.39) even after adjustment for age and sex, and this effect was consistent across study years. When premorbid functional status and comorbidities were included in the model, the primary effect of Black race was attenuated but race interacted with sex and premorbid functional status. Among male patients with a good baseline functional status, Black race remained associated with 5-year mortality (OR 1.4, 95% CI 1.1-1.7, p = 0.002). There were no changes in 5-year mortality after ICH over time (64.4% in 1993/94 to 69.2% in 2015, overall effect of study year p = 0.32). DISCUSSION Long-term survival improved after AIS but not after ICH. Black individuals, particularly Black male patients with good premorbid function, have a higher mortality after AIS, and this disparity did not change over time.

Ginsenoside Rg1 alleviates chronic inflammation-induced neuronal ferroptosis and cognitive impairments via regulation of AIM2 - Nrf2 signaling pathway. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 330:118205. [PMID: 38641079 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2024.118205] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2024] [Revised: 04/07/2024] [Accepted: 04/13/2024] [Indexed: 04/21/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Ginseng is a valuable herb in traditional Chinese medicine. Modern research has shown that it has various benefits, including tonifying vital energy, nourishing and strengthening the body, calming the mind, improving cognitive function, regulating fluids, and returning blood pressure, etc. Rg1 is a primary active component of ginseng. It protects hippocampal neurons, improves synaptic plasticity, enhances cognitive function, and boosts immunity. Furthermore, it exhibits anti-aging and anti-fatigue properties and holds great potential for preventing and managing neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). AIM OF THE STUDY The objective of this study was to examine the role of Rg1 in treating chronic inflammatory NDDs and its molecular mechanisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS In vivo, we investigated the protective effects of Rg1 against chronic neuroinflammation and cognitive deficits in mice induced by 200 μg/kg lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 21 days using behavioral tests, pathological sections, Western blot, qPCR and immunostaining. In vitro experiments involved the stimulation of HT22 cells with 10 μg/ml of LPS, verification of the therapeutic effect of Rg1, and elucidation of its potential mechanism of action using H2DCFDA staining, BODIPY™ 581/591 C11, JC-1 staining, Western blot, and immunostaining. RESULTS Firstly, it was found that Rg1 significantly improved chronic LPS-induced behavioral and cognitive dysfunction in mice. Further studies showed that Rg1 significantly attenuated LPS-induced neuronal damage by reducing levels of IL-6, IL-1β and ROS, and inhibiting AIM2 inflammasome. Furthermore, chronic LPS exposure induced the onset of neuronal ferroptosis by increasing the lipid peroxidation product MDA and regulating the ferroptosis-associated proteins Gpx4, xCT, FSP1, DMT1 and TfR, which were reversed by Rg1 treatment. Additionally, Rg1 was found to activate Nrf2 and its downstream antioxidant enzymes, such as HO1 and NQO1, both in vivo and in vitro. In vitro studies also showed that the Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 could inhibit the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-ferroptosis effects of Rg1. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that Rg1 administration ameliorated chronic LPS-induced cognitive deficits and neuronal ferroptosis in mice by inhibiting neuroinflammation and oxidative stress. The underlying mechanisms may be related to the inhibition of AIM2 inflammasome and activation of Nrf2 signaling. These findings provide valuable insights into the treatment of chronic neuroinflammation and associated NDDs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the advent of personalized medical approaches, precise and tailored treatments are expected to become widely accepted for the prevention and treatment of diabetes. Paper-based colorimetric sensors that function in combination with smartphones have been rapidly developed in recent years because it does not require additional equipment and is inexpensive and easy to perform. In this study, we developed a portable, low-cost, and wearable sweat-glucose detection device for in situ detection. RESULTS The sensor adopted an integrated biomimetic nanoenzyme of glucose oxidase (GOx) encapsulated in copper 1, 4-benzenedicarboxylate (CuBDC) (GOx@CuBDC) through a biomimetic mineralization process. CuBDC exhibited a peroxide-like effect, cascade catalytic effect with the encapsulated GOx, and increased the enzyme stability. GOx@CuBDC and 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine were combined to form a hybrid membrane that achieved single-step paper-based glucose detection. SIGNIFICANCE AND NOVELTY This GOx@CuBDC-based colorimetric glucose sensor was used to quantitatively analyze the sweat-glucose concentration with smartphone readings. The sensor exhibited a good linear relationship over the concentration range of 40-900 μM and a limit of detection of 20.7 μM (S/N = 3). Moreover, the sensor performed well in situ monitoring and in evaluating variations based on the consumption of foods with different glycemic indices. Therefore, the fabricated wearable sweat-glucose sensors exhibited optimal practical application performance.

Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2024; 720:150079.

Abstract
Stroke and major depression disorder are common neurological diseases, and a large number of clinical studies have shown that there is a close relationship between the two diseases, but whether the two diseases are linked at the genetic level needs to be further explored. The purpose of this study was to explore the comorbidity mechanism of stroke and major depression by using bioinformatics technology and animal experiments. From the GEO database, we gathered transcriptome data of stroke and depression mice (GSE104036, GSE131712, GSE81672, and GSE146845) and identified comorbid gene set through edgR and WGCNA analyses. Further analysis revealed that these genes were enriched in pathways associated with cell death. Programmed cell death gene sets (PCDGs) are generated from genes related to apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis and autophagy. The intersection of PCDGs and comorbid gene set resulted in two hub genes, Mlkl and Nlrp3. Single-cell sequencing analysis indicated that Mlkl and Nlrp3 are mainly influential on endothelial cells and microglia, suggesting that the impairment of these two cell types may be a factor in the relationship between stroke and major depression. This was experimentally confirmed by RT-PCR and immunofluorescence staining. Our research revealed that two specific genes, namely, Mlkl and Nlrp3, play crucial roles in the complex mechanism that links stroke and major depression. Additionally, we have predicted six possible therapeutic agents and the outcomes of docking simulations of target proteins and drug molecules.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. The development of novel scaffolds for human monoamine oxidase B (hMAO-B) inhibitors with reversible properties represents an important strategy to improve the efficacy and safety for PD treatment. In the current work, we have devised and assessed two innovative derivative series serving as hMAO-B inhibitors. These series have utilized benzimidazole as a scaffold and strategically incorporated a primary amide group, which is recognized as a pivotal pharmacophore in subsequent activity screening and reversible mode of action. Among these compounds, 16d has emerged as the most potent hMAO-B inhibitor with an IC50 value of 67.3 nM, comparable to safinamide (IC50 = 42.6 nM) in vitro. Besides, 16d demonstrated good selectivity towards hMAO-B isoenzyme with a selectivity index over 387. Importantly, in line with the design purpose, 16d inhibited hMAO-B in a competitive and reversible manner (Ki = 82.50 nM). Moreover, 16d exhibited a good safety profile in both cellular and acute toxicity assays in mice. It also displayed ideal pharmacokinetic properties and blood-brain barrier permeability in vivo, essential prerequisites for central nervous system medicines. In the MPTP-induced PD mouse model, 16d significantly alleviated the motor impairment, especially muscle relaxation and motor coordination. Therefore, 16d, serving as a lead compound, holds instructive significance for subsequent investigations regarding its application in the treatment of PD.

Abstract
Apigenin and baicalein are structurally related flavonoids that have been reported to have multiple pharmacological activities. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effects and potential mechanisms of apigenin and baicalein in D-galactose-induced aging rats. First, apigenin and baicalein showed remarkable antioxidant activity and anti-glycation activity in vitro. Secondly, the protective effects of apigenin and baicalein on aging rats were investigated. We found that apigenin and baicalein supplementation significantly ameliorated aging-related changes such as declines in the spatial learning and memory and histopathological damage of the hippocampus and thoracic aorta. In addition, our data showed that apigenin and baicalein alleviated oxidative stress as illustrated by decreasing MDA level, increasing SOD activity and GSH level. Further data showed that they significantly reduced the accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), inhibited the expression of RAGE, down-regulated phosphorylated nuclear factor (p-NF-κB (p65)). Our results suggested that the protective effects of apigenin and baicalein on aging rats were at least partially related to the inhibition of AGEs/RAGE/NF-κB pathway and the improvement of oxidative damage. Overall, apigenin and baicalein showed almost equal anti-aging efficacy. Our results provided an experimental basis for the application of apigenin and baicalein to delay the aging process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE Occurrence of mydriasis during the prehospital management of traumatic brain injury (TBI) may suggest severe intracranial hypertension (ICH) subsequent to brain herniation. The initiation of hyperosmolar therapy to reduce ICH and brain herniation is recommended. Whether mannitol or hypertonic saline solution (HSS) should be preferred is unknown. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study is to assess whether HSS, compared with mannitol, is associated with improved survival in adult trauma patients with TBI and mydriasis. DESIGN/SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS A retrospective observational cohort study using the French Traumabase national registry to compare the ICU mortality of patients receiving either HSS or mannitol. Patients aged 16 years or older with moderate to severe TBI who presented with mydriasis during prehospital management were included. OUTCOME MEASURES AND ANALYSIS We performed propensity score matching on a priori selected variables [i.e. age, sex and initial Coma Glasgow Scale (GCS)] with a ratio of 1 : 3 to ensure comparability between the two groups. The primary outcome was ICU mortality. The secondary outcomes were regression of pupillary abnormality during prehospital management, pulsatility index and diastolic velocity on transcranial Doppler within 24 h after TBI, early ICU mortality (within 48 h), ICU and hospital length of stay. RESULTS Of 31 579 patients recorded in the registry between 2011 and 2021, 1417 presented with prehospital mydriasis and were included: 1172 (82.7%) received mannitol and 245 (17.3%) received HSS. After propensity score matching, 720 in the mannitol group matched 240 patients in the HSS group. Median age was 41 years [interquartile ranges (IQR) 26-60], 1058 were men (73%) and median GCS was 4 (IQR 3-6). No significant difference was observed in terms of characteristics and prehospital management between the two groups. ICU mortality was lower in the HSS group (45%) than in the mannitol group (54%) after matching [odds ratio (OR) 0.68 (0.5-0.9), P = 0.014]. No differences were identified between the groups in terms of secondary outcomes. CONCLUSION In this propensity-matched observational study, the prehospital osmotherapy with HSS in TBI patients with prehospital mydriasis was associated with a lower ICU mortality compared to osmotherapy with mannitol.

Abstract
The TGF‑β/Smad signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in the onset of glomerular and tubulointerstitial fibrosis in chronic kidney disease (CKD). The present review delves into the intricate post‑translational modulation of this pathway and its implications in CKD. Specifically, the impact of the TGF‑β/Smad pathway on various biological processes was investigated, encompassing not only renal tubular epithelial cell apoptosis, inflammation, myofibroblast activation and cellular aging, but also its role in autophagy. Various post‑translational modifications (PTMs), including phosphorylation and ubiquitination, play a crucial role in modulating the intensity and persistence of the TGF‑β/Smad signaling pathway. They also dictate the functionality, stability and interactions of the TGF‑β/Smad components. The present review sheds light on recent findings regarding the impact of PTMs on TGF‑β receptors and Smads within the CKD landscape. In summary, a deeper insight into the post‑translational intricacies of TGF‑β/Smad signaling offers avenues for innovative therapeutic interventions to mitigate CKD progression. Ongoing research in this domain holds the potential to unveil powerful antifibrotic treatments, aiming to preserve renal integrity and function in patients with CKD.

Women's reproductive risk score and healthy lifestyle modification in cardiovascular disease: Findings from the UK Biobank. Atherosclerosis 2024; 395:117553. [PMID: 38811283 DOI: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2024.117553] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2023] [Revised: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Reproductive risk factors are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in women. However, the combined effects of the composite reproductive risk factors on CVD are unknown. This study was performed to construct a reproductive risk score (RRS) to measure reproductive status, examine the association between RRS and CVD, and explore the modification effect of healthy lifestyle on the association in women in the UK Biobank cohort. METHODS The RRS was constructed in 74,141 female participants with data about the items derived for the RRS in the UK Biobank. The RRS was derived from 17 baseline variables, all of which indicated women's reproductive health status. We defined four categories of RRS status: low-risk group (score 0-1); low-intermediate group (score 2-3); high-intermediate group (score 4-5); and high-risk group (score 6-13). We also constructed a healthy lifestyle score (HLS) with five related factors, and categorized into unhealthy lifestyle group (score: 0-1), intermediate lifestyle group (score: 2-3) and healthy lifestyle group (score: 4-5). RESULTS Each point increase in the RRS was associated with a 22 % higher risk of CVD (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR): 1.22; 95 % confidence interval (CI): 1.16 to 1.28), 23 % higher risk of IHD (1.23; 1.17 to 1.31) and 19 % higher risk of stroke (1.19; 1.07 to 1.32). The percentage population-attribution risks (PAR%) were 16 % (95 % CI: 8 to 24) for CVD, 15 % (95 % CI: 6 to 24) for IHD and 18 % (95 % CI: 1 to 33) for stroke. A healthy lifestyle significantly attenuated RRS associations with the incidence of CVD and IHD. The attributable proportions due to additive interaction (p < 0.001) between RRS and HLS were 0.14 (95 % CI: 0.07 to 0.22) for CVD and 0.15 (95 % CI: 0.09 to 0.23) for IHD, respectively. CONCLUSIONS High RRS was associated with increased risks of CVD, IHD and stroke in female participants in the UK Biobank. The early-stage identification of women with reproductive risk using synthesised indicators and appropriate healthy lifestyle interventions could be useful for the prevention of early CVD and the extension of healthy active life expectancy.

Abstract
Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide and a leading cause of disability. The innate immune response occurs immediately after cerebral ischemia, resulting in adaptive immunity. More and more experimental evidence has proved that the immune response caused by cerebral ischemia plays an important role in early brain injury and later the recovery of brain injury. Innate immune cells and adaptive cells promote the occurrence of cerebral ischemic injury but also protect brain cells. A large number of studies have shown that cytokines and immune-related substances also have dual functions of promoting injury, reducing injury, or promoting injury recovery in the later stage of cerebral ischemia. They can be an important target for treating cerebral ischemic recovery. Therefore, this study discussed the immune cells, cytokines, and immune-related substances with dual roles in cerebral ischemia and summarized the therapeutic targets of cerebral ischemia. To explore more effective methods to treat cerebral ischemia, promote the recovery of brain function, and improve the prognosis of patients.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 281:116627.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence linking nitrogen dioxide (NO2) air pollution to life span of high-vulnerability older adults is extensively scarce in low- and middle-income countries. This study seeks to quantify mortality risk, excess deaths, and loss of life expectancy (LLE) associated with long-term exposure to NO2 among elderly individuals in China. METHODS A nationwide dynamic cohort of 20352 respondents ≥65 years old were enrolled from the China Longitudinal Health and Longevity Survey during 2005-2018. Residential exposures to NO2 and co-pollutants were assessed by well-validated spatiotemporal prediction models. A Cox regression model with time-dependent covariates was utilized to quantify the association of all-cause mortality with NO2 exposure, controlling for confounders such as demographics, lifestyle, health status, and ambient temperature. NO2-attributable deaths and LLE were evaluated for the years 2010 and 2020 based on the pooled NO2-mortality relation derived from multi-national cohort investigations. Decomposition analyses were conducted to dissociate net shift in NO2-related deaths between 2010 and 2020 into four primary contributing factors. RESULTS A total of 14313 deaths were recorded during follow-up of approximately 100 hundred person-years (median 3.6 years). We observed an approximately linear relationship (nonlinear P = 0.882) of NO2 exposure with all-cause death across a broad range from 6.6 to 95.7 μg/m3. Every 10-μg/m3 rise in yearly average NO2 concentration was linked to a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.045 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.031-1.059). In the updated meta-analysis of this study and 9 existing cohorts, we estimated a pooled HR of 1.043 (95% CI: 1.023-1.063) for each 10-μg/m3 growth in NO2. Reaching a 10-μg/m3 counterfactual target of NO2 concentration in China could avoid 0.33 (95% empirical CI: 0.19-0.49) million premature deaths and an LLE of 0.40 (95% empirical CI: 0.23-0.59) years in 2010, which greatly dropped to 0.24 (95% empirical CI: 0.14-0.36) million deaths and 0.21 (95% empirical CI: 0.12-0.31) years of LLE in 2020. The net fall in NO2-attributable deaths (-26.8%) between 2010 and 2020 was primarily driven by the declines in both NO2 concentration (-41.6%) and mortality rate (-27.1%) under population growth (+41.0%) and age structure transition (+0.9%). CONCLUSIONS Our findings provide national evidence for increased risk of premature death and loss of life expectancy attributed to later-life NO2 exposure among the elderly in China. In an accelerated aging society, strengthened clean air actions should be formulated to minimize the health burden and regional inequality in NO2-attributable mortality.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke involves various pathological processes, among which ferroptosis is crucial. Previous studies by our group have indicated that electroacupuncture (EA) mitigates ferroptosis after ischemic stroke; however, the precise mechanism underlying this effect remains unclear. In the present study, we developed a rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion. We chose the main acupoint of the treatment methods of the "Awakening and Opening of the Brain". Rats' neurological function and motor coordination were evaluated by neurological function score and the rotarod test, respectively, and the volume of cerebral infarction was analyzed by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride Staining. The cerebrovascular conditions were visualized by time-of-flight magentic resonance angiography. In addition, we detected changes in lipid peroxidation and endogenous antioxidant activity by measuring the malondialdehyde, glutathione, superoxide dismutase activities, glutathione/oxidized glutathione and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate/oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate ratios. Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, western blot, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, fluoro-jade B staining, immunofluorescence analysis, and transmission electron microscopy were utilized to examine the influence of EA. The results indicate that EA treatment was effective in reversing neurological impairment, neuronal damage, and protecting mitochondrial morphology and decreasing the cerebral infarct volume in the middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion rat model. EA reduced iron levels, inhibited lipid peroxidation, increased endogenous antioxidant activity, modulated the expression of several ferroptosis-related proteins, and promoted nuclear factor-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) nuclear translocation. However, the protective effect of EA was hindered by the Nrf2 inhibitor ML385. These findings suggest that EA can suppress ferroptosis and decrease damage caused by cerebral ischemia/reperfusion by activating Nrf2 and increasing the protein expression of solute carrier family 7 member 11 and glutathione peroxidase 4.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation (IPR) aims to improve functioning in people with chronic low back pain (CLBP), and is not primary aimed at pain reduction. Many patients however also report a decrease in pain. An explanation could be that IPR results in a decrease in Central Sensitization (CS). As CS is not directly assessable in humans the term Human Assumed Central Sensitization (HACS) is used in this study. It is unknown whether a decrease in HACS precedes a decrease in pain and improved functioning or vice versa. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to gain understanding into the temporal relationships between changes in pain, functioning, and HACS in patients with CLBP during IPR. DESIGN Longitudinal observational small-N-study. METHOD Twelve patients filled in frequently repeated self-reports 1 week before, during the 12-week IPR program, and 2 weeks after IPR. Pain was assessed by Visual Analogue Scale for pain (daily), functioning by Pain Disability Index (weekly) and Work Ability Score (daily), and HACS by Central Sensitization Inventory part A (bi-weekly). Analyses were performed by visual inspection and time series cross-correlation analyses. RESULTS Visual inspection showed large fluctuations within and between individual participants in patterns over time. Cross-correlation analyses showed that in most participants, relationships between pain, functioning, and HACS were strongest when analyzed at the same time (55% of comparisons). Strength and direction of (strongest) correlations showed high interindividual variability (neg: 0.33-0.97; pos: 0.22-0.99). CONCLUSION Overall, relationships between pain, functioning, and HACS did not show consistent temporality in patients with CLBP.

[PMID: 38823675 DOI: 10.1016/j.expneurol.2024.114843] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2024] [Revised: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
Poststroke neuroinflammation exacerbates disease progression. [11C]PK11195-positron emission tomography (PET) imaging has been used to visualize neuroinflammation; however, its short half-life of 20 min limits its clinical use. [123I]CLINDE has a longer half-life (13h); therefore, [123I]CLINDE-single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging is potentially more practical than [11C]PK11195-PET imaging in clinical settings. The objectives of this study were to 1) validate neuroinflammation imaging using [123I]CLINDE and 2) investigate the mechanisms underlying stroke in association with neuroinflammation using multimodal techniques, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), gas-PET, and histological analysis, in a rat model of ischemic stroke, that is, permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAo). At 6 days post-pMCAo, [123I]CLINDE-SPECT considerably corresponded to the immunohistochemical images stained with the CD68 antibody (a marker for microglia/microphages), comparable to the level observed in [11C]PK11195-PET images. In addition, the [123I]CLINDE-SPECT images corresponded well with autoradiography images. Rats with severe infarcts, as defined by MRI, exhibited marked neuroinflammation in the peri-infarct area and less neuroinflammation in the ischemic core, accompanied by a substantial reduction in the cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) in 15O-gas-PET. Rats with moderate-to-mild infarcts exhibited neuroinflammation in the ischemic core, where CMRO2 levels were mildly reduced. This study demonstrates that [123I]CLINDE-SPECT imaging is suitable for neuroinflammation imaging and that the distribution of neuroinflammation varies depending on the severity of infarction.

Ilic I, Ilic M. The burden of type 2 diabetes mellitus in Latin America, 1990-2019: findings from the Global Burden of Disease study. Public Health 2024; 233:74-82. [PMID: 38852206 DOI: 10.1016/j.puhe.2024.05.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess the burden of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Latin America. STUDY DESIGN An ecological study design was applied. METHODS The data on T2DM (i.e. incidence, mortality, disability-adjusted life years [DALYs], years lived with disability [YLDs] and years of life lost [YLLs]) were extracted from the Global Burden Disease 2019 study. To assess the trends, the average annual percentage change was computed using the joinpoint regression analysis. RESULTS Approximately 2.3 million new cases of T2DM were diagnosed in Latin America in 2019, with about 214,000 deaths. The age-standardised rates of T2DM burden in 2019 were highest in Central Latin America. Incidence of T2DM has increased in both males and females in Latin America over the last three decades, while mortality has increased only in males. Of particular concern are the significant increasing trends in the incidence of T2DM among individuals in the young age and middle age groups (15-64 years) in both men and in women. Increasing trends in the burden of T2DM were observed in almost all countries of Andean Latin America, the Caribbean and Central Latin America (in particular, in Guatemala, where T2DM incidence increased by 2.4% per year, mortality by 3.7%, DALYs by 3.4%, YLDs by 2.7% and YLLs by 3.8%). CONCLUSIONS T2DM is an important health issue in Latin America due to the high mortality and disability burdens and the impact on life expectancy and quality of life of the population. Unfavourable trends in T2DM burden highlight the need to introduce effective public health disease management strategies.

Neuroendoscopic Parafascicular Evacuation of Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage (NESICH Technique): A Multicenter Technical Experience with Preliminary Findings. Neurol Ther 2024; 13:1259-1271. [PMID: 38914793 PMCID: PMC11263518 DOI: 10.1007/s40120-024-00642-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/26/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a severe manifestation of stroke, demonstrating notably elevated global mortality and morbidity. Thus far, effective therapeutic strategies for ICH have proven elusive. Currently, minimally invasive techniques are widely employed for ICH management, particularly using endoscopic hematoma evacuation in cases of deep ICH. Exploration of strategies to achieve meticulous surgery and diminish iatrogenic harm, especially to the corticospinal tract, with the objective of enhancing the neurological prognosis of patients, needs further efforts. METHODS We comprehensively collected detailed demographic, clinical, radiographic, surgical, and postoperative treatment and recovery data for patients who underwent endoscopic hematoma removal. This thorough inclusion of data intends to offer a comprehensive overview of our technical experience in this study. RESULTS One hundred fifty-four eligible patients with deep supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage who underwent endoscopic hematoma removal were included in this study. The mean hematoma volume was 42 ml, with 74 instances of left-sided hematoma and 80 cases of right-sided hematoma. The median Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score at admission was 10 (range from 4 to 15), and the median time from symptom onset to surgery was 18 (range 2 to 96) h. The mean hematoma clearance rate was 89%. The rebleeding and mortality rates within 1 month after surgery were 3.2% and 7.8%, respectively. At the 6-month mark, the proportion of patients with modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores of 0-3 was 58.4%. CONCLUSION Both the reduction of surgery-related injury and the protection of the residual corticospinal tract through endoscopic hematoma removal may potentially enhance neurological functional outcomes in patients with deep ICH, warranting validation in a forthcoming multicenter clinical study.

Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside alleviates ethanol-induced liver injury by promoting mitophagy in a Gao-binge mouse model of alcohol-associated liver disease. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2024; 1870:167259. [PMID: 38796918 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2024.167259] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is a leading cause of liver disease-related deaths worldwide. Unfortunately, approved medications for the treatment of this condition are quite limited. One promising candidate is the anthocyanin, Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G), which has been reported to protect mice against hepatic lipid accumulation, as well as fibrosis in different animal models. However, the specific effects and mechanisms of C3G on ALD remain to be investigated. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH In this report, a Gao-binge mouse model of ALD was used to investigate the effects of C3G on ethanol-induced liver injury. The mechanisms of these C3G effects were assessed using AML12 hepatocytes. RESULTS C3G administration ameliorated ethanol-induced liver injury by suppressing hepatic oxidative stress, as well as through reducing hepatic lipid accumulation and inflammation. Mechanistically, C3G activated the AMPK pathway and enhanced mitophagy to eliminate damaged mitochondria, thus reducing mitochondria-derived reactive oxidative species in ethanol-challenged hepatocytes. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study indicate that mitophagy plays a potentially important role underlying the hepatoprotective action of C3G, as demonstrated in a Gao-binge mouse model of ALD. Accordingly, C3G may serve as a promising, new therapeutic drug candidate for use in ALD.
