Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic inflammation, measured as circulating Interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels, is associated with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in chronic kidney disease. However, this has not been convincingly demonstrated in a systematic review or a meta-analysis in the dialysis population. We provide such evidence, including a re-analysis of the GLOBAL Fluid Study. METHODS Mortality in the GLOBAL fluid study was re-analysed using Cox proportional hazards regression with IL-6 levels as a covariate using a continuous non-logarithmic scale. Literature searches of the association of IL-6 levels with mortality were conducted on MEDLINE, EMBASE, PyschINFO and CENTRAL. All studies were assessed for risk of bias using the QUIPS tool. To calculate a pooled effect size, studies were grouped by use of IL-6 scale and included in the meta-analysis if IL-6 was analysed as a continuous linear covariate, either per unit or per 10 pg/ml, in both unadjusted or adjusted for other patient characteristics (e.g. age, comorbidity) models. Funnel plot was used to identify potential publication bias. RESULTS Of 1886 citations identified from the electronic search, 60 were included in the qualitative analyses, and 12 had sufficient information to proceed to meta-analysis after full paper screening. Random effects meta-analysis of 11 articles yielded a pooled hazard ratio (HR) per pg/ml of 1.03, (95% CI 1.01, 1.03), [Formula: see text]= 81%. When the analysis was confined to seven articles reporting a non-adjusted HR the result was similar: 1.03, per pg/ml (95% CI: 1.03, 1.06), [Formula: see text]=92%. Most of the heterogeneity could be attributed to three of the included studies. Publication bias could not be determined due to the limited number of studies. CONCLUSION This systematic review confirms the adverse association between systemic IL-6 levels and survival in people treated with dialysis. The heterogeneity that we observed may reflect differences in study case mix. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION PROSPERO - CRD42020214198.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS In Taiwan, approximately 90% of patients with end-stage renal disease receive maintenance hemodialysis. Although studies have reported the survival predictability of multiclinical factors, the higher-order interactions among these factors have rarely been discussed. Conventional statistical approaches such as regression analysis are inadequate for detecting higher-order interactions. Therefore, this study integrated receiver operating characteristic, logistic regression, and balancing functions for adjusting the ratio in risk classes and classification errors for imbalanced cases and controls using multifactor-dimensionality reduction (MDR-ER) analyses to examine the impact of interaction effects between multiclinical factors on overall mortality in patients on maintenance hemodialysis. METERIALS AND METHODS In total, 781 patients who received outpatient hemodialysis dialysis three times per week before 1 January 2009 were included; their baseline clinical factor and mortality outcome data were retrospectively collected using an approved data protocol (201800595B0). RESULTS Consistent with conventional statistical approaches, the higher-order interaction model could indicate the impact of potential risk combination unique to patients on maintenance hemodialysis on the survival outcome, as described previously. Moreover, the MDR-based higher-order interaction model facilitated higher-order interaction effect detection among multiclinical factors and could determine more detailed mortality risk characteristics combinations. CONCLUSION Therefore, higher-order clinical risk interaction analysis is a reasonable strategy for detecting non-traditional risk factor interaction effects on survival outcome unique to patients on maintenance hemodialysis and thus clinically achieving whole-scale patient care.

Abstract
Exposure to microgravity results in vascular remodeling and cardiovascular dysfunction. To elucidate the mechanism involved in this condition, we investigated whether endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress during simulated microgravity induced endothelial inflammation and apoptosis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Microgravity was simulated by clinorotation in the current study. We examined markers of ER stress, inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase (iNOS)/NO content, proinflammatory cytokine production, nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB)/IκB signaling, NLRP3 inflammasome, and detected apoptosis in HUVECs. We found that the levels of C/EBP homologous protein and glucose-regulated protein 78, pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α, IL-8, and IL-1β), and iNOS/NO content were upregulated by clinorotation. ER stress inhibition with tauroursodeoxycholic acid or 4-phenylbutyric acid and iNOS inhibition with 1400 W dramatically suppressed activation of the NF-κB/IκB pathway and the NLRP3 inflammasome, and decreased the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The increase of apoptosis in HUVECs during clinorotation was significantly suppressed by inhibiting ER stress, iNOS activity, NF-κB/IκB, and the NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway. Therefore, simulated microgravity causes ER stress in HUVECs, and subsequently activates iNOS/NO-NF-κB/IκB and the NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway, which have key roles in the induction of endothelial inflammation and apoptosis.

Abstract
This study aimed to identify the factors capable of mortality prediction in patients on hemodialysis, using a prospective cohort with three years of follow-up. We hypothesized that lack of clinical-metabolic control, impairment of nutritional status, and inadequate food consumption are risk factors for mortality in this population. This is a longitudinal study on a non-probabilistic sample of 85 adults and elderly patients undergoing hemodialysis, aged ≥ 18 years (66.0% male, 61.6±13.7 years). Data on anthropometric, biomarkers, body composition and food intake were obtained. Predictors of mortality were evaluated using Cox regression analysis. During the three years follow-up, 16 patients (18.8%) died. We observed that age (HR = 1.319, CI 95% = 1.131-1.538), calcium-phosphorus product (HR = 1.114, CI 95% = 1.031-1.205), ferritin (HR = 1.001, CI 95% = 1.001-1.002), nitric oxide (HR = 1.082, CI 95% = 1.006-1.164), and vitamin C intake (HR = 1.005, CI 95% = 1.001-1.009) were positively associated with mortality. Serum iron (HR = 0.717, CI 95% = 0.567-0.907), triceps skinfold thickness (HR = 0.704, CI 95% = 0.519-0.954), lean mass (HR = 0.863, CI 95% = 0.787-0.945), and the ratio of dietary monounsaturated/polyunsaturated fat (HR = 0.022, CI 95% = 0.001-0.549) were independent negative predictors of mortality. Our results suggest that dietary intake is also a predictor of mortality in patients on hemodialysis, besides nutritional status, body composition, oxidative stress, inflammation, and bone metabolism, indicating the importance of evaluation of these factors altogether for better prognosis.

Abstract
Objective. Limited data are available regarding prognostic value of nitric oxide metabolites (NOx) for clinical hard end points. In this study, we defined optimum cut-off values of serum NOx for predicting all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality events and prospectively investigated their hazards in the presence of traditional risk factors. Design. Serum NOx concentrations were measured at baseline (2006-2008) and 3520 adult men and women were followed during 7.7 years for all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. To determine the optimal cut-off points of serum NOx, the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) of all-cause and CVD mortality below and above the defined optimal cut-off points of serum NOx. Results. Mean age of participants was 44.5 ± 16.0 years at baseline and 40.2% were male. Median (inter-quartile range) of serum NOx levels was 25.0 µmol/L (19.0-37.0), at baseline. The optimal cut-off points of serum NOx levels for predicting CVD and all-cause mortality were 30.5 and 32.5 µmol/L, respectively. In the presence of age, sex, body mass index, smoking, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and history of CVD, a significant increased risk of CVD mortality (HR = 1.98, 95% CI = 1.10-3.58) and all-cause mortality (HR = 1.52, 95% CI = 1.05-2.21) was observed for serum NOx values higher than their cut-offs. Conclusion. Serum NOx level may be predictor of CVD mortality and death, in general populations.

Abstract
Emerging data suggest that impaired nitric oxide (NO) homeostasis has a key role in development of cardiometabolic disorders. The association between circulating levels of NO metabolites, i.e. nitrate and nitrite (NOx), and risk of chronic diseases has not yet been fully clarified. This work aims to address epidemiologic aspects of NO metabolism and discusses different physiologic and pathophysiologic conditions influencing circulating NOx. Further, cross-sectional associations of serum NOx with metabolic disorders are described and along the way, potential short-term and long-term power of serum NOx for predicting cardiometabolic outcomes are reviewed. Results from population-based studies show that circulating NOx is affected by aging, smoking habits, pregnancy, menopause status, thyroid hormones, and various pathologic conditions including type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, hypertension, and renal dysfunction. Lifestyle factors, especially dietary habits, but also smoking habits and the degree of physical activity influence NO homeostasis and the circulating levels of NOx. Elevated serum NOx, due to increased iNOS activity, is associated with increased incidence of metabolic syndrome, different obesity phenotypes, and cardiovascular events.
