Abstract
Hyperuricemia during hypertension is associated with aberrant vascular functions and increased oxidative stress, which affects endothelial dysfunction. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of uric acid on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) through oxidative stress remain unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the dose- and time-dependent effects of uric acid on oxidative stress and p53 protein expression in VSMCs. VSMCs were incubated with various concentrations of uric acid (0-50 mg/dl) for different time periods (1-24 h). Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARs), protein carbonylation and nitric oxide (NO) levels were determined using appropriate assay kits. Superoxide anion release was detected using the Görlach method. Western blotting was performed to determine the protein expression levels of p53. The findings demonstrated that the application of uric acid led to an increase in protein carbonylation and superoxide anion levels while causing a decrease in NO levels. Conversely, no significant effect was observed on TBARS levels. Additionally, it was observed that high concentrations of uric acid suppressed p53 expression at 6, 12 and 24 h. The present study provided evidence that the influence of uric acid on oxidative stress was more closely associated with time than dose; however, not all effects observed were strictly time-dependent.

The impact of chrysanthemi indici flos-enriched flavonoid part on the model of hyperuricemia based on inhibiting synthesis and promoting excretion of uric acid. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 333:118488. [PMID: 38925319 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2024.118488] [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: 06/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE In recent years, in addition to hypertension, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia, the prevalence of hyperuricemia (HUA) has increased considerably. Being the fourth major health risk factor, HUA can affect the kidneys and cardiovascular system. Chrysanthemi Indici Flos is a flavonoid-containing traditional Chinese patent medicine that exhibits a uric acid (UA)-lowering effect. However, the mechanisms underlying Chrysanthemi Indici Flos-enriched flavonoid part (CYM.E) mediated alleviation of HUA remain unelucidated. AIM OF THE STUDY This study aimed to elucidate the efficacy of CYM.E in preventing and treating HUA and its specific effects on UA-related transport proteins, to explore possible mechanism. METHODS The buddleoside content in CYM.E was determined through high-performance liquid chromatography. HUA was induced in mice models using adenine and potassium oxonate. Subsequently, mice were administered 10 mg/kg allopurinol, and 30, 60, and 90 mg/kg CYM.E to evaluate the effects of CYM.E on the of HUA mice model. Herein, plasma uric acid (UA), creatinine (CR), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) contents, along with serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activities were measured. Additionally, xanthine oxidase (XOD) and adenosine deaminase (ADA) activities in the liver were determined. The histomorphologies of the liver and kidney tissues were examined through hematoxylin and eosin staining. The messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of facilitated glucose transporter 9 (GLUT9), organic anion transporter (OAT)1, OAT3, and adenosine triphosphate binding cassette subfamily G2 (ABCG2) in the kidney was assessed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Furthermore, the expression of urate transporter 1 (URAT1), GLUT9, OAT1, and OAT3 in the kidney, OAT4, and ABCG2 proteins was determined by immunohistochemistry and western blotting. RESULTS The buddleoside content in CYM.E was approximately 32.77%. CYM.E improved body weight and autonomous activity in HUA mice. Additionally, it reduced plasma UA, BUN, and CR levels and serum ALT and AST activities, thus improving hepatic and renal functions, which further reduced the plasma UA content. CYM.E reduced histopathological damage to the kidneys. Furthermore, it lowered plasma TC, TG, and LDL-c levels, thereby improving lipid metabolism disorder. CYM.E administration inhibited hepatic XOD and ADA activities and reduced the mRNA expression of renal GLUT9. CYM.E inhibited the protein expression of renal URAT1, GLUT9, and OAT4, and increased the mRNA and protein expression of renal OAT1, OAT3, and ABCG2. Altogether, these results show that CYM.E could inhibit the production and promote reabsorption of UA and its excretion.

Abstract
Uric acid is typically measured through blood tests, which can be inconvenient and uncomfortable for patients. Herein, we propose a wearable surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) chip, incorporating a hydrogel membrane with integrated plasmonic trimers, for noninvasive monitoring of uric acid in sweat. The plasmonic trimers feature sub 5 nm nanogaps, generating strong electromagnetic fields to boost the Raman signal of surrounding molecules. Simultaneously, the hydrogel membrane pumps sweat through these gaps, efficiently capturing sweat biomarkers for SERS detection. The chip can achieve saturation adsorption of sweat within 5 min, eliminating variations in individual sweat production rates. Dynamic SERS tracking of uric acid and lactic acid levels during anaerobic exercise reveals a temporary suppression of uric acid metabolism, likely due to metabolic competition with lactic acid. Furthermore, long-term monitoring correlates well with blood test results, confirming that regular exercise helps reduce serum uric acid levels and supporting its potential in managing hyperuricemia.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a promising technique for the detection of biomarkers, but it can struggle to quantify multiple analytes in complex fluids. This study combines electrochemical SERS (E-SERS) and machine learning for the quantitative multiplexed detection of uric acid (UA) and creatinine (CRN). Using classical polydisperse Ag nanoparticles (NPs) made by scalable synthesis, we achieved quantitative multiplexing with low limits of detection (LoDs) and high prediction accuracy, comparable to those made by sophisticated approaches. The E-SERS LoDs at the optimal applied potentials were 0.127 μM and 0.354 μM for UA and CRN respectively, compared to 0.504 μM and 1.02 μM for conventional SERS (recorded at 0 V). By collecting a multi-dimensional E-SERS dataset and applying a two-step partial least squares regression - multilayer perceptron (PLSR-MLP) machine learning algorithm, we were able to identify the analyte concentrations in unseen spectra with a prediction accuracy of 0.94. This research demonstrates the potential of E-SERS and machine learning for multiplexed detection in clinical settings.

Endocrine 2024:10.1007/s12020-024-04038-1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Age-specifically longitudinal associations and potential pathways between serum uric acid (SUA) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) remained unclear. This study aimed to explore SUA trajectories in different age populations and to determine their associations and potential pathways with incident CVD. METHODS This prospective cohort included 41,367 participants from the Kailuan study, including 30,938 participants aged <55 years and 10,419 participants aged ≥55. The SUA trajectories during year 2006-2012 were identified by latent class growth models. RESULTS Three SUA trajectories were identified in the overall, aged <55 and aged ≥55 years participants, as "low-stable" (51.9%, 54.4%, and 43.3%), "moderate-stable" (39.0%, 36.9%, and 45.6%), and "high-stable" (9.1%, 9.7%, and 11.1%), respectively. During a median follow-up of 6.75 years, incident CVD occurred in 2302 participants (5.56%). Overall, a high-stable trajectory was independently associated with a higher risk of CVD (hazard ratio [HR], 1.23; 95% [confidence interval], 1.06-1.42). Notably, the associations differed by age, a significant association was only observed in participants aged ≥55 years (HR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.05-1.58), rather than those aged <55 years (HR, 1.08; 95% CI, 0.89-1.33). The addition of SUA trajectories to a baseline risk model for CVD improved the integrated discrimination improvement value (P < 0.05) and category-free net reclassification improvement value (P < 0.05). Bayesian network showed the conditional probability of high CVD risk associated with aging, elevated SUA trajectories, blood pressure, glucose, and inflammation was 15.5%. CONCLUSIONS High-stable SUA trajectories were independently associated with an elevated risk of CVD, which is mainly induced by hypertension, diabetes, and inflammation, especially in participants aged ≥55 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS A number of health issues, including high serum uric acid (SUA) and cardiovascular disease (CVD), have been linked to obesity based on observational evidence, though it's currently unclear how these issues are causally related. In order to determine whether obesity mediates this association, we set out to investigate the causal relationship between SUA, obesity, and CVD. METHODS AND RESULTS From publicly available genome-wide association studies, we acquired instrumental variables that had a strong correlation to SUA and body mass index (BMI). We employed multiple two-step Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses, using genetic and clinical data from various publicly available biological databases. The mediating role of BMI was examined through mediation analysis. SUA was genetically correlated with BMI [OR = 1.080, 95% CI: 1.024-1.139, P = 0.005]. There was a positive causal effect of SUA on AF [OR = 0.892, 95% CI: 0.804-0.990, P = 0.032], CAD [OR = 0.942, 95% CI: 0.890-0.997, P = 0.037], and EHT [OR = 1.080, 95% CI: 1.024-1.139, P = 0.005]. Among them, BMI mediated the effects of SUA on AF (42.2%; 95% CI, 35.3%-51.9%), CAD (76.3%; 95% CI, 63.4%-92.0%), and EHT (10.0%; 95% CI, 0%-20.0%). CONCLUSION Our research revealed a causal relationship between high SUA exposure and an increased risk of obesity. Additionally, a high SUA level was linked to an increased risk of various CVDs. Given that individuals with high SUA are more likely to be susceptible to AF, CAD, and EHT, attention must be given to their weight status.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the association of an elevated level of uric acid (UA) in the bloodstream with an increased likelihood of acute kidney injury (AKI) following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study using a multivariate logistic regression model. SETTING Single institution. PARTICIPANTS Recipients of CABG surgery. INTERVENTION None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS A total of 761 individuals who underwent CABG were included in the study. The participants were categorized into 4 groups based on their UA level: Q1 group (UA <292.5 μmol/L), Q2 group (292.5 ≤ UA <353 μmol/L), Q3 group (353 ≤ UA < 423 μmol/L), and Q4 group (UA ≥423 μmol/L). A total of 167 patients, accounting for 21.9% of the sample, experienced postoperative AKI. The study found a significantly higher risk of AKI in the Q4 group compared to the Q1 group (40.4% v 8.9%; p < 0.001). After adjustment for confounding variables, an independent association between serum UA concentration and an elevated risk of AKI post-CABG was identified (odds ratio, 6.41; 95% confidence interval, 3.49-12.32; p < 0.001; p for trend < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS There is a relationship between preoperative blood UA level and the occurrence of AKI following CABG surgery.

Abstract
Current uric acid detection methodologies lack the requisite sensitivity and selectivity for point-of-care applications. Plasmonic sensors, while promising, demand refinement for improved performance. This work introduces a biofunctionalized sensor predicated on surface plasmon resonance to quantify uric acid within physiologically relevant concentration ranges. The sensor employs the covalent immobilization of uricase enzyme using 1-Ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC) and N-Hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) crosslinking agents, ensuring the durable adherence of the enzyme onto the sensor probe. Characterization through atomic force microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy validate surface alterations. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm model elucidates binding kinetics, revealing a sensor binding affinity of 298.83 (mg/dL)-1, and a maximum adsorption capacity of approximately 1.0751°. The biofunctionalized sensor exhibits a sensitivity of 0.0755°/(mg/dL), a linear correlation coefficient of 0.8313, and a limit of detection of 0.095 mg/dL. Selectivity tests against potentially competing interferents like glucose, ascorbic acid, urea, D-cystine, and creatinine showcase a significant resonance angle shift of 1.1135° for uric acid compared to 0.1853° for interferents at the same concentration. Significantly, at a low uric acid concentration of 0.5 mg/dL, a distinct shift of 0.3706° was observed, setting it apart from the lower values noticed at higher concentrations for all typical interferent samples. The uricase enzyme significantly enhances plasmonic sensors for uric acid detection, showcasing a seamless integration of optical principles and biological recognition elements. These sensors hold promise as vital tools in clinical and point-of-care settings, offering transformative potential in biosensing technologies and the potential to revolutionize healthcare outcomes in biomedicine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Steelworkers are more likely to have a higher prevalence of hyperuricemia due to their exposure to special occupational factors and dietary habits. The interrelationships of visceral adiposity index (VAI), hyperuricemia, and drinking tea remain uncertain. This study aimed to assess the association between VAI and hyperuricemia among steelworkers, and if drinking tea modified this association. METHODS A total of 9928 steelworkers from Hunan Hualing Xiangtan Iron and Steel Company participated in this cross-sectional study. All participants completed a questionnaire, received anthropometric measurements, and provided blood samples for biochemical testing. Three logistic regression models were used to analyze the association between VAI and hyperuricemia. RESULTS In this study, the prevalence of hyperuricemia was approximately 23.74% (males: 24.41%; females: 20.63%), and a positive correlation between VAI and hyperuricemia risk was observed. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, the risk of hyperuricemia increased 1.76 times (95% CI: 1.64-1.89) and 2.13 times (95% CI: 1.76-2.57) with the increase of ln VAI in males and females, respectively. For males, compared to quartile 1, the risk of hyperuricemia in the second, third, and fourth quartile of VAI were 1.75 (95% CI: 1.11-2.71), 2.56 (95% CI: 1.67-3.93) and 4.89 (95% CI: 3.22-7.43). For females, compared to quartile 1, the risk of hyperuricemia in the second, third, and fourth quartile of VAI were 1.99 (95% CI: 1.40-2.82), 2.92 (95% CI: 1.96-4.34) and 4.51 (95% CI: 2.89-7.02). Additionally, our study found that, compared with not consuming tea, drinking tea could reduce uric acid levels by 0.014 in male steelworkers (t = -2.051, p = 0.040), 0.020 in workers consuming smoked food (t = -2.569, p = 0.010), and 0.022 in workers consuming pickled food (t = -2.764, p = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, VAI is positively correlated with hyperuricemia in steelworkers. Drinking tea may lower uric acid levels in male steelworkers and steelworkers who prefer smoked and pickled foods.

Post-hoc analysis of two gout remission definitions in a two-year randomized controlled trial of nurse-led versus usual gout care. Semin Arthritis Rheum 2024; 69:152555. [PMID: 39326192 DOI: 10.1016/j.semarthrit.2024.152555] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2024] [Revised: 08/20/2024] [Accepted: 09/03/2024] [Indexed: 09/28/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the performance of the 2016 preliminary gout remission definition and a simplified gout remission definition in a clinical trial of nurse-led gout care. METHODS Data from a 2-year parallel arm, non-blinded, randomised controlled trial of 517 community-derived people with gout were analyzed. Participants were assigned 1:1 to receive nurse-led care or general practitioner usual care. Remission was defined using the 2016 preliminary gout remission definition and a simplified gout remission definition without patient reported outcomes. Binary logistic regression was used to compare intervention groups. General linear models were used to compare Gout Impact Scale (GIS) scores between those in remission and those not in remission using either definition. RESULTS Participants in the nurse-led care group were more likely to achieve remission using either definition; at Year 2 the odds ratio was 7.92 [95 % CI 4.86-12.92] using the 2016 preliminary definition and 11.88 [95 % CI 7.49-18.84] using the simplified definition. For all participants, the 2016 preliminary definition was fulfilled by 9.9 % at Year 1 and 28.4 % at Year 2, p < 0.001 and the simplified definition was fulfilled by 17.6 % at Year 1 and 42.7 % at Year 2, p < 0.001. People in remission using either definition had better gout outcomes assessed using the GIS, including greater control over their gout. CONCLUSION Both definitions discriminated between the intervention groups and showed high construct validity. The simplified definition identified more people as being in gout remission at Year 1 and Year 2. The simplified definition is a feasible and valid option for defining gout remission.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity and various biochemical parameters, including triglycerides, cholesterol, glucose, C-reactive protein, and estimated glomerular filtration rate, have been linked to elevated uric acid (UA) levels in populations with normal kidney function due to decreased UA excretion and/or increased UA synthesis. However, it remains unclear whether all these factors exhibit similar associations with UA levels in clinical populations characterized by compromised renal function, such as kidney transplant patients (KTPs). OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether serum UA levels are associated with body adiposity and biochemical parameters in KTPs. METHODS A cross-sectional study involving 113 KTPs was conducted. Body fat was estimated using bioelectrical impedance, and waist circumference was measured using an inelastic tape. Serum levels of UA, creatinine, glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol, and its fractions were measured using the colorimetric method. C-reactive protein levels were assessed using the immunoturbidimetric method, and urea levels were determined via enzymatic kinetics. Glomerular filtration rate was estimated using the chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration equation. Linear regression analyses were employed to assess the association between serum UA levels and body adiposity as well as biochemical parameters, while adjusting for confounders. RESULTS Serum UA levels exhibited a positive association with creatinine (β = 0.402; p = 0.013) and urea (β = 0.024; p = 0.001), while demonstrating an inverse association with estimated glomerular filtration rate (β = -0.030; p < 0.001). However, serum UA levels were not significantly associated with fat mass (both in kilograms and as a percentage), waist circumference, triglycerides, C-reactive protein, glucose, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, VLDL cholesterol, or total cholesterol. CONCLUSION Serum UA levels are only associated with biochemical parameters linked to renal function in KTPs. Consequently, in individuals with suboptimal renal function, such as KTPs, UA does not exhibit associations with other biochemical parameters and body adiposity, as commonly observed in non-renal disease populations.

[PMID: 39235386 DOI: 10.1080/27697061.2024.2399826] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2024] [Revised: 08/26/2024] [Accepted: 08/29/2024] [Indexed: 09/06/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The EAT-Lancet Commission has proposed an EAT-Lancet diet (ELD), also known as a planetary health diet (PHD), which is environmentally sustainable and promotes human health. However, the association between this diet and the risk of hypertension remains unclear. This study aimed to determine whether adherence to ELD was associated with a lower risk of hypertension. METHODS 11,402 adults without hypertension at baseline from the China Health and Nutrition Survey were included. The PHD score was used to evaluate ELD adherence, with higher scores reflecting better compliance. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was utilized to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Additionally, a subgroup analysis was performed to identify the possible effect modifiers, and a mediation analysis was conducted to explore the mediation effects of anthropometric measurements on the association between ELD and hypertension. RESULTS A total of 3993 participants (35%) developed hypertension during 93,058 person-years of follow-up. In the covariate-adjusted model, hypertension risk was reduced in the highest quartile participants compared to the lowest quartile of the PHD score (adjusted HR: 0.79, 95%CI: 0.71-0.87; P-trend < 0.001), which remained significant after sensitivity analysis. Notably, the association was also observed in isolated systolic hypertension, isolated diastolic hypertension, and systolic-diastolic hypertension. Subgroup analysis revealed that the inverse association between the PHD score and hypertension risk was more pronounced in nonsmokers and high-sodium intake consumers than in smokers and low-sodium consumers (P-interaction < 0.05). Additionally, mediation analysis revealed that 23.3% of the association between the PHD score and hypertension risk was mediated by the waist-to-height ratio. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that a higher adherence to ELD is associated with a lower risk of hypertension. These results emphasize that ELD may serve as a potential strategy to prevent hypertension.

Abstract
Background This study presented the new Life's Essential 8 (LE8) framework for examining cardiovascular health (CVH) to analyze the potential relationship between the latter and hyperuricemia (HUA) in the U.S. population. Methods Data on individuals aged at least 20 years were collected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2009-2020. Smoothed curve fitting and multivariate logistic regression analyses were then performed on a sample of 25,681 adults to explore the association between LE8 and HUA. A sensitivity analysis was conducted to examine the robustness of the research findings. Results The study found a strong negative association between LE8 and HUA, with an odds ratio (OR) of 0.71 and a 95% confidence interval (CI) from 0.69 to 0.73 after adjusting for multiple confounding factors. The sensitivity analysis further validated the robustness of this association. This analysis consistently showed negative associations across different genders, ages, races, and education levels (p < 0.05), but there were no significant relationships with marital status. The association between uric acid levels and LE8 displayed an inverted L-shaped curve, with an inflection point around 41.43. Conclusions The findings indicate a strong negative relationship between LE8 and HUA among the U.S. population, suggesting that higher scores on the LE8, which assesses CVH, were associated with reduced uric acid levels. The consistent negative association underscores the LE8 framework's potential as a valuable tool for understanding and managing HUA in CVH.

Abstract
Several epidemiological studies have investigated the association between sugar intake, the levels of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and the risk of hypertension, but findings have been inconsistent. We carried out a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies to examine the associations between sugar intake, hypertension risk, and BP levels. Articles published up to February 2, 2021 were sourced through PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science. Pooled relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using a fixed- or random-effects model. Restricted cubic splines were used to evaluate dose-response associations. Overall, 35 studies were included in the present meta-analysis (23 for hypertension and 12 for BP). Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) and artificially sweetened beverages (ASBs) were positively associated with hypertension risk: 1.26 (95% CI, 1.15-1.37) and 1.10 (1.07-1.13) per 250-g/day increment, respectively. For SBP, only SSBs were significant with a pooled β value of 0.24 mmHg (95% CI, 0.12-0.36) per 250 g increase. Fructose, sucrose, and added sugar, however, were shown to be associated with elevated DBP with 0.83 mmHg (0.07-1.59), 1.10 mmHg (0.12-2.08), and 5.15 mmHg (0.09-10.21), respectively. Current evidence supports the harmful effects of sugar intake for hypertension and BP level, especially SSBs, ASBs, and total sugar intake.

Abstract
Hyperuricemia is with growing incidence and of high risk to develop into gout and other metabolic diseases. The key enzyme catalyzing uric acid synthesis, xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) is a vital target for anti-hyperuricemic drugs, while XOR inhibitors characterized as both potent and safe are currently in urgent need. In this study, a novel small molecule compound, CC15009, was identified as a specific XOR inhibitor. CC15009 exerted strongest in vitro XOR inhibitory activity among current XOR inhibitors. It also showed favorable dose-dependent uric acid-lowering effects in two different XOR substrate-induced hyperuricemic mouse models, which was significantly superior than the current first-line drug, allopurinol. Mechanically, the direct binding of CC15009 against XOR was confirmed by molecular docking and SPR analysis. The inhibition mode was competitive and reversible. Besides, the potential antioxidant activity of CC15009 was indicated by its strong inhibitory activity against the oxidized isoform of XOR, which reduced ROS generation as the byproduct. Regarding the safety concerns of current XOR inhibitors, especially in cardiovascular risks, the safety of CC15009 was comprehensively evaluated. No significant abnormality was observed in the acute, subacute toxicity tests and mini-AMES test. Notably, there was no obvious inhibition of CC15009 against cardiac ion channels, including hERG, Nav1.5, Cav1.2 at the concentration of 30 μM, indicating its lower cardiovascular risk. Taken together, our results supported CC15009 as a candidate of high efficacy and safety profile to treat hyperuricemia through direct XOR inhibition.

Abstract
Fructose consumption in pediatric subjects is rising, as the prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Despite increasing evidence supporting the detrimental effects of fructose in the development of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) and its related comorbidities, the association between fructose intake and liver disease remains unclear, mainly in youths. The current narrative review aims to illustrate the correlation between fructose metabolism and liver functions besides its impact on obesity and MASLD in pediatrics. Fructose metabolism is involved in the liver through the classical lipogenic pathway via de novo lipogenesis (DNL) or in the alternative pathway via uric acid accumulation. Hyperuricemia is one of the main features of MALSD patients, underlining how uric acid is growing interest as a new marker of disease. Observational and interventional studies conducted in children and adolescents, who consumed large amounts of fructose and glucose in their diet, were included. Most of these studies emphasized the association between high fructose intake and weight gain, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, and MASLD/MASH, even in normal-weight children. Conversely, reducing fructose intake ameliorates liver fat accumulation, lipid profile, and weight. In conclusion, fructose seems a potent inducer of both insulin resistance and hepatic fat accumulation.

[PMID: 39122810 PMCID: PMC11316048 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-69411-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 08/05/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Observational studies have shown that non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is strongly associated with metabolic dysfunction. However, there is a paucity of research on whether changes in indicators of serum metabolism contribute to the development of NAFLD. This study was conducted with 4084 participants who underwent healthy physical examinations at Jinling Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Nanjing University, Nanjing, China, in 2022 and 2023. Baseline and follow-up measurements, including anthropometric data, abdominal ultrasound and blood samples were collected. The diagnosis of NAFLD was based on the 2010 Chinese Guidelines on Diagnosis and Treatment of NAFLD. Multiple logistic regression was utilized to analyze the odds ratios (ORs) for the 1-year risk of NAFLD in connection with both baseline metabolic indicators and changes in metabolic indicators observed over the course of 1 year. A total of 3425 study participants who were free of NAFLD at baseline, including 1146 men and 2279 women, were included in the final analysis. The mean age was 34.43 ± 7.20 years. Participants who developed NAFLD were older, male and had higher levels of body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, fasting blood glucose (FBG), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), free triiodothyronine (fT3), uric acid (UA), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST); and lower levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and free thyroxine (fT4) (all P values < 0.05). The multivariable model showed that baseline BMI, diastolic blood pressure (DBP), TG, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, UA, fT4, fT3, ALT and changes in TG, HDL-C, and UA were associated with the 1-year risk of developing NAFLD. The risk of NAFLD increased by 56% [OR 1.56, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.32-1.87] and 40% (OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.19-1.64) for each standard deviation (SD) increase in altered TG values (1.01 mmol/L) and altered UA values (55 µmol/L) respectively. Conversely, for each SD (0.27 mmol/L) increase in HDL-C change, the 1-year risk of incident NAFLD was reduced by 50% (OR 0.50, 95% CI 0.40-0.62). The present study suggested that increases in TG and UA, and decreases in HDL-C, significantly increase the risk of developing NAFLD. Therefore, more attention should be paid to these factors in the management and prevention of NAFLD.

Association Between Hyperuricemia and Ultrasound-Detected Hand Synovitis. Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken) 2024; 76:1187-1194. [PMID: 38570913 DOI: 10.1002/acr.25342] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2023] [Revised: 02/15/2024] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although hand synovitis is prevalent in the older population, the etiology remains unclear. Hyperuricemia, a modifiable metabolic disorder, may serve as an underlying mechanism of hand synovitis, but little is known about their relationship. We assessed the association between hyperuricemia and hand synovitis in a large population-based sample. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study in Longshan County, Hunan Province, China. Hyperuricemia was defined as a serum urate level >420 μmol/L in men and >360 μmol/L in women. Ultrasound examinations were performed on both hands of 4,080 participants, and both gray-scale synovitis and the Power Doppler signal (PDS) were assessed using semiquantitative scores (grades 0-3). We evaluated the association of hyperuricemia with hand gray-scale synovitis (grade ≥2) and PDS (grade ≥1), respectively, adjusting for age, sex, and body mass index. RESULTS All required assessments for analysis were available for 3,286 participants. The prevalence of hand gray-scale synovitis was higher among participants with hyperuricemia (30.0%) than those with normouricemia (23.3%), with an adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of 1.28 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.00-1.62). Participants with hyperuricemia also had a higher prevalence of PDS (aOR 2.36; 95% CI 1.15-4.81). Furthermore, hyperuricemia positively associated, both at the hand and joint levels, with the presence of gray-scale synovitis (aOR 1.27; 95% CI 1.00-1.60 and adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR] 1.26; 95% CI 1.10-1.44, respectively) and PDS (aOR 2.35; 95% CI 1.15-4.79 and aPR 2.34; 95% CI 1.28-4.30, respectively). CONCLUSION This population-based study provides more evidence for a positive association between hyperuricemia and prevalent hand synovitis.

Long-term relatively high dietary manganese intake could decrease the risk of hyperuricemia: Twelve-year distinct dietary manganese consumption trajectories and the China Health and Nutrition Survey. Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2024; 34:1984-1993. [PMID: 38866616 DOI: 10.1016/j.numecd.2024.05.008] [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: 01/18/2024] [Revised: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Currently, the relationship between dynamic changes in dietary manganese (Mn) intake and risk of hyperuricemia (HU) is still unclear. This study aimed to identify dietary Mn consumption trajectories in the Chinese adults and assess their relation with the risk of HU. METHODS AND RESULTS Cohort data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) 1997-2009 were employed in this study. Overall, 6886 adult participants were included. Participants were designated into subgroups based on the trajectories of dietary Mn consumption by sex. Cox proportional hazard models were used to explore the associations between different trajectories and the risk of HU. For men, compared with low stable trajectory group, moderate to high trajectory group was significantly related to reduced risk of HU (HR = 0.61, 95% CI: 0.38 to 0.98) with adjustment for covariates. TC, HDL-C, ApoB, and TG exerted partial regulation function between trajectories and HU. For women, compared with low stable trajectory group, high stable trajectory group was significantly related to reduced risk of HU (HR = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.60 to 0.95) with adjustment for covariates. Similarly, TC, HDL-C, ApoB, and ApoA exerted partial regulation function between trajectories and HU. CONCLUSIONS Long-term relatively high dietary Mn consumption may have a protective effect against HU in Chinese adults. The differences in HU-related factors among different dietary Mn intake trajectories partially regulated the association between these trajectories and HU.

Abstract
Background Evidence regarding the association between hyperuricemia and arrhythmia recurrence after catheter ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) is scarce. We investigated whether hyperuricemia predicts arrhythmia recurrence after catheter ablation for paroxysmal AF and the relationship between hyperuricemia and alcohol consumption in AF recurrence. Methods Patients who underwent catheter ablation for paroxysmal AF were divided into the hyperuricemia (index serum uric acid [UA] >7.0 mg/dL; n = 114) and control (UA ≤7.0 mg/dL; n = 609) groups and were followed for a median of 24 (12-48) months after ablation. Results The hyperuricemia group had more patients with an alcohol intake of ≥20 g/day (33.3% vs. 22.7%, p = .017) and a lower incidence of AF-free survival (p = .019). Similarly, those with an alcohol intake of ≥20 g/day had a lower incidence of AF-free survival than other patients. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed the following independent predictors of AF recurrence (adjusted hazard ratio, 95% confidence interval): hyperuricemia (1.64, 1.12-2.40), female gender (1.91, 1.36-2.67), brain natriuretic peptide level >100 pg/mL (1.59, 1.14-2.22), and alcohol consumption ≥20 g/day (1.49, 1.03-2.15) (all p < .05). In addition, causal mediation analysis revealed that alcohol consumption of ≥20 g/day directly affected AF recurrence, independent of hyperuricemia. Conclusions Patients with hyperuricemia may be at a high risk of arrhythmia recurrence after catheter ablation for paroxysmal AF. Although high alcohol consumption may contribute to increased UA levels, the presence of hyperuricemia may independently predict AF recurrence.

Abstract
Hyperuricemia, characterized by elevated uric acid levels and subsequent crystal deposition, contributing to conditions such as gout, cardiovascular events, and kidney injury, poses a significant health threat, particularly in developed countries. Current drug options for treatment are limited, with safety concerns, leading to suboptimal therapeutic outcomes in symptomatic hyperuricemia patients and a lack of pharmaceutical interventions for asymptomatic cases. Distinguishing from the previous drug design strategies, we directly target uric acid, the pathological molecule of hyperuricemia, resulting in a pyrimidine derivative capable of increasing the solubility and excretion of uric acid by forming a complex with it. Its prodrug showed an anti-hyperuricemia activity comparable to benzbromarone and a favorable safety profile in vivo. Our finding provides a strategy purely based on organic chemistry to address the largely unmet therapeutic needs on novel anti-hyperuricemia drugs.

Abstract
Background Urate concentration and the physiological regulation of urate homeostasis exhibit clear sex differences. DNA methylation has been shown to explain a substantial proportion of serum urate variance, mediate the genetic effect on urate concentration, and co-regulate with cardiometabolic traits. However, whether urate concentration is associated with DNA methylation in a sex-dependent manner is unknown. Additionally, it is worth investigating if urate changes after perturbations, such as vaccination, are associated with DNA methylation in a sex-specific manner. Methods We investigated the association between DNA methylation and serum urate concentrations in a Dutch cohort of 325 healthy individuals. Urate concentration and DNA methylation were measured before and after Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination, used as a perturbation associated with increased gout flares. The association analysis included united, interaction, and sex-stratified analysis. Validation of the identified CpG sites was conducted using three independent cohorts. Results 215 CpG sites were associated with serum urate in males, while 5 CpG sites were associated with serum urate in females, indicating sex-specific associations. Circulating urate concentrations significantly increased after BCG vaccination, and baseline DNA methylation was associated with differences in urate concentration before and after vaccination in a sex-specific manner. The CpG sites associated with urate concentration in males were enriched in neuro-protection pathways, whereas in females, the urate change-associated CpG sites were related to lipid and glucose metabolism. Conclusion Our study enhances the understanding of how epigenetic factors contribute to regulating serum urate levels in a sex-specific manner. These insights have significant implications for the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of various urate-related diseases and highlight the importance of personalized and sex-specific approaches in medicine.

Abstract
Hyperuricemia, i.e., increased plasma uric acid concentration, is a common problem in clinical practice, leading to gout or nephrolithiasis, and is associated with other disorders, such as metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and chronic renal disease. Xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) is a critical rate-limiting enzyme involved in uric acid synthesis and a promising target for hyperuricemia therapy. However, XOR inhibitors currently face clinical problems such as a short half-life and side effects. Here, we found that specifically targeting liver Xor with GalNAc-siRNAs had a good therapeutic effect on hyperuricemia. First, siRNAs were designed to target various sites in the homologous region between Homo sapiens and Mus musculus Xor mRNA and were screened in primary mouse hepatocytes. Then, the siRNAs were modified to increase their stability in vivo and conjugated with GalNAc for liver-specific delivery. The effects of GalNAc-siRNAs were evaluated in three hyperuricemia mouse models, including potassium oxonate and hypoxanthine administration in WT and humanized XDH mice and Uox knockout mice. Febuxostat, a specific XOR inhibitor used for hyperuricemia treatment, was used as a positive control. Targeting liver Xor with GalNAc-siRNAs by subcutaneous administration reduced plasma uric acid levels, uric acid accumulation in the kidney, renal inflammation, and fibrosis, thereby alleviating kidney damage in hyperuricemia mouse models without hepatoxicity. The results demonstrated that targeting liver Xor with GalNAc-siRNAs was a promising strategy for hyperuricemia therapy.

Abstract
Objective Hyperuricaemia and gout are common metabolic disorders. However, the causal relationships between blood metabolites and serum urate levels, as well as gout, remain unclear. A systematic evaluation of the causal connections between blood metabolites, hyperuricemia, and gout could enhance early screening and prevention of hyperuricemia and gout in clinical settings, providing novel insights and approaches for clinical treatment. Methods In this study, we employed a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis utilizing data from a genome-wide association study involving 7,286 participants, encompassing 486 blood metabolites. Serum urate and gout data were sourced from the Chronic Kidney Disease Genetics consortium, including 288,649 participants for serum urate and 9,819 African American and 753,994 European individuals for gout. Initially, LDSC methodology was applied to identify blood metabolites with a genetic relationship to serum urate and gout. Subsequently, inverse-variance weighting was employed as the primary analysis method, with a series of sensitivity and pleiotropy analyses conducted to assess the robustness of the results. Results Following LDSC, 133 blood metabolites exhibited a potential genetic relationship with serum urate and gout. In the primary Mendelian randomization analysis using inverse-variance weighting, 19 blood metabolites were recognized as potentially influencing serum urate levels and gout. Subsequently, the IVW p-values of potential metabolites were corrected using the false discovery rate method. We find leucine (IVW P FDR = 0.00004), N-acetylornithine (IVW P FDR = 0.0295), N1-methyl-3-pyridone-4-carboxamide (IVW P FDR = 0.0295), and succinyl carnitine (IVW P FDR = 0.00004) were identified as significant risk factors for elevated serum urate levels. Additionally, 1-oleoylglycerol (IVW P FDR = 0.0007) may lead to a substantial increase in the risk of gout. Succinyl carnitine exhibited acceptable weak heterogeneity, and the results for other blood metabolites remained robust after sensitivity, heterogeneity, and pleiotropy testing. We conducted an enrichment analysis on potential blood metabolites, followed by a metabolic pathway analysis revealing four pathways associated with serum urate levels. Conclusion The identified causal relationships between these metabolites and serum urate and gout offer a novel perspective, providing new mechanistic insights into serum urate levels and gout.

CARDIOVASCULAR REVASCULARIZATION MEDICINE 2024; 64:27-33. [PMID: 38369415 DOI: 10.1016/j.carrev.2024.02.006] [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: 08/29/2023] [Revised: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/20/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the correlation between hyperuricemia and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is well known, there have been limited data regarding the impact of hyperuricemia on long-term clinical outcomes in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). METHODS A total of 718 patients who underwent PTA for PAD were enrolled. The patients were divided into the hyperuricemia group (N = 168) and the normal group (N = 550). Hyperuricemia was defined as a uric acid level ≥ 7.0 mg/dL in men, and ≥ 6.5 mg/dL in women. The primary endpoint was major adverse cerebral and cardiovascular event (MACCE), including death, myocardial infarction (MI), any coronary revascularization, and stroke, up to 5 years. The secondary endpoint was major adverse limb event (MALE), including any repeated PTA, and target extremity surgery (TES). Inverse probability weighting (IPTW) analysis, derived from the logistic regression model, was performed to adjust potential confounders. RESULTS After IPTW matching analysis, compared to the normal group, the hyperuricemia group was not associated with increased MACCE but was associated with an increased incidence of MI (2.6 % vs. 0.5 %, p = 0.001), and coronary revascularization (6.7 % vs. 3.9 %, p = 0.018). Also, the hyperuricemia group was associated with a higher incidence of MALE (45.3 % vs. 28.9 %, p < 0.001), including target extremity revascularization (TER; 25.1 % vs. 15.9 %, p < 0.001), non-TER (11.5 % vs. 5.6 %, p < 0.001), and TES (22.8 % vs. 16.2 %, p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS In the present study, hyperuricemia was associated with worse clinical outcomes in PAD patients following PTA during 5-year clinical follow-up. Further investigations should be made regarding the clinical benefit of controlling hyperuricemia on clinical outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Illness perceptions are views and beliefs formed in response to a health threat, and they may influence self-management behaviours and chronic disease outcomes. Despite effective medication, sub-optimal outcomes in gout are common. This study aimed to quantitatively investigate illness perceptions in gout to examine how illness perceptions relate to health outcomes. METHODS Data were obtained from a randomized controlled trial in which people with gout (n = 493) completed surveys measuring illness perceptions [Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ)], gout flares, medication adherence, health-related quality of life, health-care utilization, and productivity, alongside serum urate blood tests at baseline, and at 6- and 12-month follow-ups. Multivariable linear regression identified patient factors independently associated with each B-IPQ item score. Logistic and linear regression, adjusted for age and sex, determined whether baseline B-IPQ items could predict current and future health outcomes. RESULTS Younger individuals and those with severe gout were more likely to experience pessimistic illness perceptions at baseline. Optimistic illness perceptions were associated with lower odds of having had at least one flare in the preceding 6 months. Every 1-point increase in B-IPQ treatment control, indicating an increasingly optimistic view that gout is treatable, decreased the odds of a recent flare prior to baseline by 33% [odds ratio (OR): 0.67; 95% CI: 0.53, 0.85; P < 0.001] and prior to the 12-month follow-up by 15% (OR: 0.85; 95% CI: 0.76,0.96; P = 0.01). Pessimistic illness perceptions also predicted poorer medication adherence, health-related quality of life, and productivity, but not serum urate levels. CONCLUSION Modifying pessimistic illness perceptions, including, but not limited to, patient education, may promote prudent self-management behaviours and better outcomes in gout.

Abstract
Aortic aneurysm and dissection (AAD) are severe vascular diseases with high mortality rates. However, the causal relationship between serum uric acid levels and the occurrence of AAD remains a subject of controversy. To address this issue, we conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to investigate whether there is a causal association between these factors. We obtained single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) data related to serum uric acid levels from the FinnGen study and data on AAD from the UK Biobank. Various two-sample MR methods, including inverse variance weighted (IVW) analysis, MR-Egger regression analysis, weighted median analysis, and contamination mixture method, were employed to assess the causal relationship between serum uric acid and the risk of AAD. Sensitivity analysis was conducted to evaluate the stability and reliability of the results. The findings revealed a positive association between serum uric acid levels and the risk of aortic aneurysm (AA) (odds ratio [OR] = 1.200, 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 1.020-1.400, P = 0.0239). However, no significant correlation was observed between serum uric acid levels and the occurrence of aortic dissection (AD) (OR = 0.893, 95 % CI = 0.602-1.326, P = 0.576). Our study, which employed MR analysis, identified a positive association between serum uric acid levels and the risk of AA. However, we did not observe a significant correlation with AD.

Abstract
PURPOSE The ratio of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-c) to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) (NHHR) is a novel comprehensive lipid index. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the NHHR and the prevalence of hyperuricaemia (HUA) in the adult population of the U.S. METHODS This cross-sectional study collected data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2007-2018). HUA was defined as a serum uric acid (SUA) concentration ≥ 7 mg/dL in men and ≥ 6 mg/dL in women. Multivariate logistic regression models and the restricted cubic spline (RCS) method were applied to examine the relationship between the NHHR and the risk of developing HUA. Subgroup analyses and interaction tests were also performed. RESULTS The prevalence of HUA increased with increasing NHHR values (9.01% vs. 13.38% vs. 17.31% vs. 25.79%, P < 0.001). The NHHR was independently correlated with the risk of developing HUA (OR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.05-1.16; P < 0.001). Furthermore, the risk of developing HUA was significantly greater among individuals with the highest NHHR quartile than among those with the lowest NHHR quartile (OR = 1.94, 95% CI: 1.62-2.33; P < 0.001). This relationship was consistent across subgroups. According to the RCS analysis, an inverted U-shaped relationship existed between the NHHR and the risk of developing HUA. CONCLUSIONS The NHHR was closely associated with an increased risk of developing HUA. Further studies on the NHHR could be beneficial for preventing and treating HUA.

Associations of serum uric acid variability with neuroimaging metrics and cognitive decline: a population-based cohort study. BMC Med 2024; 22:256. [PMID: 38902722 PMCID: PMC11188528 DOI: 10.1186/s12916-024-03479-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between variation in serum uric acid (SUA) levels and brain health is largely unknown. This study aimed to examine the associations of long-term variability in SUA levels with neuroimaging metrics and cognitive function. METHODS This study recruited 1111 participants aged 25-83 years from a multicenter, community-based cohort study. The SUA concentrations were measured every two years from 2006 to 2018. We measured the intraindividual SUA variability, including the direction and magnitude of change by calculating the slope value. The associations of SUA variability with neuroimaging markers (brain macrostructural volume, microstructural integrity, white matter hyperintensity, and the presence of cerebral small vessel disease) and cognitive function were examined using generalized linear models. Mediation analyses were performed to assess whether neuroimaging markers mediate the relationship between SUA variation and cognitive function. RESULTS Compared with the stable group, subjects with increased or decreased SUA levels were all featured by smaller brain white matter volume (beta = - 0.25, 95% confidence interval [CI] - 0.39 to - 0.11 and beta = - 0.15, 95% CI - 0.29 to - 0.02). Participants with progressively increased SUA exhibited widespread disrupted microstructural integrity, featured by lower global fractional anisotropy (beta = - 0.24, 95% CI - 0.38 to - 0.10), higher mean diffusivity (beta = 0.16, 95% CI 0.04 to 0.28) and radial diffusivity (beta = 0.19, 95% CI 0.06 to 0.31). Elevated SUA was also associated with cognitive decline (beta = - 0.18, 95% CI - 0.32 to - 0.04). White matter atrophy and impaired brain microstructural integrity mediated the impact of SUA increase on cognitive decline. CONCLUSIONS It is the magnitude of SUA variation rather than the direction that plays a critical negative role in brain health, especially for participants with hyperuricemia. Smaller brain white matter volume and impaired microstructural integrity mediate the relationship between increased SUA level and cognitive function decline. Long-term stability of SUA level is recommended for maintaining brain health and preventing cognitive decline.

Relationship between serum uric acid levels and uric acid lowering therapy with the prognosis of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: a meta-analysis. Front Cardiovasc Med 2024; 11:1403242. [PMID: 38938653 PMCID: PMC11210376 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2024.1403242] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Aims This meta-analysis aimed to explore the association between serum uric acid levels and the efficacy of uric acid-lowering therapies on clinical outcomes among patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Methods A comprehensive literature search was conducted through October 21, 2023, across PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases. The pooled effect sizes were estimated and presented with their respective 95% confidence intervals (CI). Subgroup analyses were conducted based on various factors, including sample size (<1,000 vs. ≥1,000), follow-up duration (<2 years vs. ≥2 years), study quality (assessed by a score of <7 vs. ≥7), ethnicity (Non-Asian vs. Asian), study design (prospective vs. retrospective), type of heart failure (HF) (acute vs. chronic), presence of hyperuricemia (yes or no), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) thresholds (≥45% vs. ≥50%), and the type of uric acid-lowering therapy (traditional vs. novel). Results The analysis included a total of 12 studies. Elevated serum uric acid levels were significantly linked to an increased risk of all-cause mortality [relative risk (RR): 1.21, 95% CI: 1.06-1.37, P = 0.004] and cardiovascular (CV) mortality (RR: 1.71, 95% CI: 1.42-2.04, P < 0.001) in HFpEF patients. Subgroup analyses confirmed this association, particularly in non-Asian populations, those with chronic HFpEF, and studies with a follow-up duration of two years or more. Additionally, higher uric acid levels were associated with an increased risk of HF-related hospitalization [hazard ratio (HR): 1.61, 95% CI: 1.12-2.34, P = 0.011]. Regarding treatment, uric acid-lowering therapy did not show a significant effect on reducing mortality in HFpEF patients. However, it was associated with a decreased risk of hospitalization due to HF (RR: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.79-0.91, P < 0.001). Conclusion The findings of this study highlight the prognostic significance of serum uric acid levels in HFpEF and suggest that uric acid-lowering therapy may be beneficial in reducing the incidence of HF hospitalizations. Further research is warranted to elucidate the mechanisms by which uric acid-lowering therapy confers its potential benefits.

Abstract
Urate, the physiological form of uric acid and a potent antioxidant in serum, plays a pivotal role in scavenging reactive oxygen species. Yet excessive accumulation of urate, known as hyperuricemia, is the primary risk factor for the development of gout. The high-capacity urate transporter GLUT9 represents a promising target for gout treatment. Here, we present cryo-electron microscopy structures of human GLUT9 in complex with urate or its inhibitor apigenin at overall resolutions of 3.5 Å and 3.3 Å, respectively. In both structures, GLUT9 exhibits an inward open conformation, wherein the substrate binding pocket faces the intracellular side. These structures unveil the molecular basis for GLUT9's substrate preference of urate over glucose, and show that apigenin acts as a competitive inhibitor by occupying the substrate binding site. Our findings provide critical information for the development of specific inhibitors targeting GLUT9 as potential therapeutics for gout and hyperuricemia.

López Iglesias A, Blanco Pardo M, Rodríguez Magariños C, Pértega S, Sierra Castro D, García Falcón T, Rodríguez-Carmona A, Pérez Fontán M. Association of urinary excretion rates of uric acid with biomarkers of kidney injury in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease. PLoS One 2024; 19:e0304105. [PMID: 38861521 PMCID: PMC11166352 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0304105] [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: 02/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The potential influence of hyperuricemia on the genesis and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains controversial. In general, the correlation between blood levels of uric acid (UA) and the rate of progression of CKD is considered to be modest, if any, and the results of relevant trials oriented to disclose the effect of urate-lowering therapies on this outcome have been disappointing. Urinary excretion rates of UA could reflect more accurately the potential consequences of urate-related kidney injury. METHOD Using a cross-sectional design, we investigated the correlation between different estimators of the rates of urinary excretion of UA (total 24-hour excretion, mean urinary concentration, renal clearance and fractional excretion)(main study variables), on one side, and urinary levels of selected biomarkers of kidney injury and CKD progression (DKK3, KIM1, NGAL, interleukin 1b and MCP)(main outcome variables), in 120 patients with advanced CKD (mean glomerular filtration rate 21.5 mL/minute). We took into consideration essential demographic, clinical and analytic variables with a potential confounding effect on the explored correlations (control variables). Spearman's rho correlation and nonlinear generalized additive regression models (GAM) with p-splines smoothers were used for statistical analysis. MAIN RESULTS Multivariate analysis disclosed independent correlations between urinary UA concentrations, clearances and fractional excretion rates (but not plasma UA or total 24-hour excretion rates of UA), on one side, and the scrutinized markers. These correlations were more consistent for DKK3 and NGAL than for the other biomarkers. Glomerular filtration rate, proteinuria and treatment with statins or RAA axis antagonists were other independent correlates of the main outcome variables. CONCLUSIONS Our results support the hypothesis that urinary excretion rates of UA may represent a more accurate marker of UA-related kidney injury than plasma levels of this metabolite, in patients with advanced stages of CKD. Further, longitudinal studies will be necessary, to disclose the clinical significance of these findings.

Abstract
Hyperuricemia is a common metabolic disorder with severe complications. We aimed to develop a mouse model for spontaneous hyperuricemia. Uox-/- mouse model was generated on C57BL/6J background by deleting exon 2-4 of Uox using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. The prototypic Uox -/-mice had 5.5-fold increased serum uric acid (1351.04±276.58μmol/L) as compared to the wild type mice (P<0.0001), but died by 4 weeks. After allopurinol (3ug/g) intervention, they all survived > 8 weeks. The serum uric acid was 612.55±146.98μmol/L in the 8-week-old allopurinol-rescued Uox -/-mice, which manifested multiple complications including severe renal insufficiency, hypertension, left ventricular remodeling and systolic dysfunction, aortic endothelial dysfunction, hepatic steatosis and elevated liver enzymes, as well as hyperglycemia and hypercholesteremia. The present Uox-/- mice developed spontaneous hyperuricemia complicated with urate nephropathy, cardiovascular disease and cardiometabolic disorders, and may provide a novel tool to study hyperuricemia associated early-onset cardiovascular disorders in human.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperuricemia could be a risk for various chronic diseases, and it could be largely corrected by diet control. This study was a nationwide cross-sectional study to investigate the association between serum uric acid level and dietary fiber intake. METHODS This study analyzed data based on the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted from 2016 to 2018. Adults over 20 years of age with normal renal function, defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) over 30mL/min/1.73m2, were included. The criteria for hyperuricemia were ≥ 7 mg/dL in men and ≥ 6 mg/dL in women. Data regarding dietary intake were obtained using the 24-hour recall method. RESULTS A total of 15,278 subjects (6,455 males/8,823 females) were analyzed. The prevalence of hyperuricemia was 19.3% in men and 6.8% in women. There were significant, negative associations between serum uric acid and total fiber intake in both men and women. Consuming more than 27.9 g of dietary fiber in men and 20.7 g in women reduced the risk of hyperuricemia by approximately 30% with odds ratios of 0.72 (0.62-0.83) and 0.71 (0.56-0.88) in men and women, respectively. With regard to the risk reduction by the type of dietary fiber, cereal fiber was significantly identified in both men and women, while fruit fiber was only significant in men. In the subgroup analysis, this association remained significantly in young and metabolically healthy populations with normal weight. CONCLUSIONS Dietary fiber intake was inversely associated with serum uric acid levels. This relationship was particularly significant in metabolically healthy young adults.

Abstract
Plasmatic uric acid (UA) has been inconsistently associated with diabetic retinopathy (DR). Specific sight-threatening stages of DR have not been studied for their association with UA. Cross-sectional, comparative study. Between 2014 and 2018 we recruited 210 Mexican individuals > 18 years-old with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Clinical, ophthalmological and biochemical assessment was performed with standardized funduscopic examination. Certified readers classified DR stages. The association between DR and UA was assessed by multiple logistic regression analysis, calculating odds ratios (OR) and 95% CI, after adjustment for covariates. Two hundred and ten patients were included, 41 (19.5%) had referable DR. Subjects with referable (severe or worse) DR had longer diabetes duration, 22 (15-28) vs 15 (8-20) years (P < 0.01); higher levels of UA, 6.5 (5.8-8.1) vs 5.4 (4.5-6.6) mg/dL (P < 0.01); higher systolic blood pressure, 130 (120-140) vs 120 (110-130) mmHg (P < 0.01); higher diastolic blood pressure, 78.4 ± 9.7 vs 75.4 ± 9.2 mmHg (P = 0.03); and lower glomerular filtration rate , 54.1 (41.5-69.6) vs 87.3 (66.8-108.3) mL/min/1.73m2 (P < 0.01) compared with those without referable DR. With multiple logistic regression, after adjustment, per each unit of change (mg/dL) in UA the probability of having referable DR increased 45% (OR = 1.45, 95% CI 1.12-1.87, P < 0.01). When UA was evaluated as dichotomous variable, those with levels ≥ 7.8 mg/dL had almost two times (OR = 2.81, 95% CI 1.00-7.9., P = 0.049) the probability of having referable DR compared with those with levels < 7.8 mg/dL. UA may contribute to the microvascular damage in retinal vessels and therefore hyperuricemia could be a therapeutic target to prevent DR progression.

Kidney function decline mediates the adverse effects of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on uric acid levels and hyperuricemia risk. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 471:134312.

Abstract
Previous studies indicated per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) were related to uric acid and hyperuricemia risk, but evidence for the exposure-response (E-R) curves and combined effect of PFAS mixture is limited. Moreover, the potential mediation effect of kidney function was not assessed. Hence, we conducted a national cross-sectional study involving 13,979 US adults in NHANES 2003-2018 to examine the associations of serum PFAS with uric acid and hyperuricemia risk, and the mediation effects of kidney function. Generalized linear models and E-R curves showed positive associations of individual PFAS with uric acid and hyperuricemia risk, and nearly linear E-R curves indicated no safe threshold for PFAS. Weighted quantile sum regression found positive associations of PFAS mixture with uric acid and hyperuricemia risk, and PFOA was the dominant contributor to the adverse effect of PFAS on uric acid and hyperuricemia risk. Causal mediation analysis indicated significant mediation effects of kidney function decline in the associations of PFAS with uric acid and hyperuricemia risk, with the mediated proportion ranging from 19 % to 57 %. Our findings suggested that PFAS, especially PFOA, may cause increased uric acid and hyperuricemia risk increase even at low levels, and kidney function decline plays a crucial mediation effect.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gout is a prevalent manifestation of metabolic osteoarthritis induced by elevated blood uric acid levels. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanisms of gene expression regulation in gout disease and elucidate its pathogenesis. METHODS The study integrated gout genome-wide association study (GWAS) data, single-cell transcriptomics (scRNA-seq), expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL), and methylation quantitative trait loci (mQTL) data for analysis, and utilized two-sample Mendelian randomization study to comprehend the causal relationship between proteins and gout. RESULTS We identified 17 association signals for gout at unique genetic loci, including four genes related by protein-protein interaction network (PPI) analysis: TRIM46, THBS3, MTX1, and KRTCAP2. Additionally, we discerned 22 methylation sites in relation to gout. The study also found that genes such as TRIM46, MAP3K11, KRTCAP2, and TM7SF2 could potentially elevate the risk of gout. Through a Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis, we identified three proteins causally associated with gout: ADH1B, BMP1, and HIST1H3A. CONCLUSION According to our findings, gout is linked with the expression and function of particular genes and proteins. These genes and proteins have the potential to function as novel diagnostic and therapeutic targets for gout. These discoveries shed new light on the pathological mechanisms of gout and clear the way for future research on this condition.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2 inhibitors) have evolved from their initial role as antidiabetic drugs to garner recognition for their remarkable cardio-protective and reno-protective attributes. They have become a crucial component of therapeutic guidelines for congestive heart failure and proteinuric chronic kidney disease (CKD). These benefits extend beyond glycemic control, because improvements in cardiovascular and renal outcomes occur swiftly. Recent studies have unveiled the immunomodulatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors; thus, shedding light on their potential to influence the immune system and inflammation. This comprehensive review explores the current state of knowledge regarding the impact of SGLT2 inhibitors on the immune system and inflammation, focusing on preclinical and clinical evidence. The review delves into their antiinflammatory and immunomodulating effects, offering insights into clinical implications, and exploring emerging research areas related to their prospective immunomodulatory impact.

Abstract
The association between the exposure of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and serum uric acid (UA) levels remained uncertain. In this study, to investigate the combined effects of OCP mixtures on hyperuricemia, we analyzed serum OCPs and UA levels in adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2005-2016). Four statistical models including weighted logistic regression, weighted quantile sum (WQS), quantile g-computation (QGC), and bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) were used to assess the relationship between mixed chemical exposures and hyperuricemia. Subgroup analyses were conducted to explore potential modifiers. Among 6,529 participants, the prevalence of hyperuricemia was 21.15%. Logistic regression revealed a significant association between both hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and trans-nonachlor and hyperuricemia in the fifth quintile (OR: 1.54, 95% CI: 1.08-2.19; OR: 1.58, 95% CI: 1.05-2.39, respectively), utilizing the first quintile as a reference. WQS and QGC analyses showed significant overall effects of OCPs on hyperuricemia, with an OR of 1.25 (95% CI: 1.09-1.44) and 1.20 (95% CI: 1.06-1.37), respectively. BKMR indicated a positive trend between mixed OCPs and hyperuricemia, with HCB having the largest weight in all three mixture analyses. Subgroup analyses revealed that females, individuals aged 50 years and above, and those with a low income were more vulnerable to mixed OCP exposure. These results highlight the urgent need to protect vulnerable populations from OCPs and to properly evaluate the health effects of multiple exposures on hyperuricemia using mutual validation approaches.

Association of serum uric acid with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in chronic kidney disease stages 3-5. Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2024; 34:1518-1527. [PMID: 38508991 DOI: 10.1016/j.numecd.2024.01.032] [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: 11/11/2023] [Revised: 01/19/2024] [Accepted: 01/28/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The role of serum uric acid (SUA) in the prognosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is inconclusive. To explore the association of SUA level with all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in patients with CKD. METHODS AND RESULTS Leveraging data from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) and linked national death records up to December 31 2019, we explored the association of SUA with all-cause and CVD mortality using weighted cox proportional hazards regression models and restricted cubic spline (RCS) models in patients with CKD stages 3-5. The study finally included 2644 patients with CKD stages 3-5, with a median SUA level of 6.5 mg/dL. After a median follow-up of 55 months, a total of 763 deaths were recorded, with 279 of them attributed to CVD. In the fully adjusted model, per 1 mg/dL increment in SUA concentration was found to be associated with increased HRs (95% CIs) of 1.07 (1.00, 1.14) for all-cause mortality and 1.11 (1.00, 1.24) for CVD mortality. Compared to Q2 (reference), those in Q4 had adjusted HRs of 1.72 (1.36, 2.17) for all-cause mortality and 2.17 (1.38, 3.41) for CVD mortality, while those in Q1 had adjusted HRs of 1.49 (1.19, 1.85) for all-cause mortality and 1.93 (1.26, 2.98) for CVD mortality. CONCLUSIONS Both higher and lower SUA levels were associated with increased risks of all-cause and CVD mortality in patients with CKD stages 3-5.

Abstract
Background Uric acid may play a critical role in protection against cancer by the suppression of inflammation. The association between serum uric acid (SUA) levels and prostate cancer risk is debatable yet has received little attention in the American population. Therefore, we used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to determine their correlation. Methods Using information from NHANES 1999-2010, a total of 62,160 individuals from the general population were included in this cross-sectional study. Additionally, a number of covariates were acquired. Prostate cancer was used to divide the participants into two groups: prostate cancer group (n=315) and non-prostate cancer group (n=7,545). A weighted adjusted logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine the potential correlation between SUA and prostate cancer. Results Our study comprised a total of 7,860 participants. After full adjustment for confounders, SUA was not significantly associated with prostate cancer [odds ratio (OR) 0.91, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.82-1.00, P=0.058]. In participants aged 60 years and above (≥60 years), a higher SUA was significantly associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer (OR 0.88, 95% CI: 0.80-0.96, P=0.003). However, among those younger than 60 years (<60 years), there was no association between SUA and prostate cancer risk (OR 1.29, 95% CI: 0.69-2.42, P=0.42). In addition, in the subgroup analysis stratified by body mass index, hypertension and diabetes, there was no significant correlation between SUA and prostate cancer. Conclusions SUA is negatively associated with the risk of prostate cancer in older men, especially for those 60 years of age and beyond.

Abstract
Remnant cholesterol (RC) is closely related to metabolic diseases. Our study aims to explore the relationship between RC and hyperuricemia. This cross-sectional study included 14 568 adults aged 20 years or older from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 2007 and 2018 in the United States. RC is calculated by subtracting high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) from total cholesterol (TC). Hyperuricemia is defined by serum uric acid (SUA) levels≥7 mg/dl in men and≥6 mg/dl in women. The independent association between RC and hyperuricemia was evaluated. As the quartile range of RC levels increases, the prevalence of hyperuricemia also rises (7.84% vs. 13.71% vs. 18.61% vs. 26.24%, p<0.001). After adjusting for confounding factors, the fourth quartile of RC was associated with an increased risk of hyperuricemia compared with the first quartile (OR=2.942, 95% CI 2.473-3.502, p<0.001). Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis shows that RC outperforms other single lipid indices in hyperuricemia. Further Restricted Cubic Splines (RCS) analysis suggests a nonlinear relationship between RC levels and hyperuricemia. Elevated RC levels were found to be linked to hyperuricemia. Further studies on RC hold promise for both preventing and addressing hyperuricemia.

Abstract
The association between uric acid (UA) and hyperuricemia with 5-year hypertension incidence using different blood pressure (BP) diagnostic references in men and women without cardiometabolic diseases is unknown. We used the checkup data from Kagoshima Kouseiren Hospital. All participants with hypertension or on BP medication, diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity, estimated glomerular filtration rate<60 ml/min/1.73m2, metabolic syndrome, history of gout, and UA-lowering medication were excluded. UA was categorized into sex-specific quartiles and hyperuricemia was defined as UA > 7 mg/dl in men and UA > 6 mg/dl in women. We performed multivariate logistic regression to assess the effects of UA on hypertension development. The 5-year hypertension incidence was defined as subsets of BP ≥ 140/90 mmHg in cohort 1 and BP ≥ 130/80 mmHg in cohort 2. The study enrolled 21,443 participants (39.8%, men) in cohort 1 and 15,245 participants (36.5%, men) in cohort 2. The incidence of hypertension in cohorts 1 and 2 over 5 years was 16.3% and 29.7% in men and 10.9% and 21.4% in women, respectively. When comparing the fourth to the first UA quartile, there was an association with hypertension in men in cohort 1, with odds ratio (OR): 1.36 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.13-1.63, p < 0.01) and cohort 2, OR: 1.31 (95%CI, 1.09-1.57, p < 0.01), respectively, but not in women. Additionally, an association between hyperuricemia and hypertension was observed in men only in cohort 1, with OR: 1.23 (95%CI, 1.07-1.42, p = 0.02), and in women in cohort 2, OR: 1.57 (95%CI, 1.14-2.16, p < 0.01). The effect of UA on the development of hypertension is influenced by sex and incidence differs with the BP reference used. Uric acid effect on the development of hypertension is affected by sex and incidence differs with the BP reference used.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A growing evidence on the correlation between hyperuricemia and cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been previously reported. However, there have been limited data on the impact of hyperuricemia on long-term clinical outcomes in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) who underwent percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). METHODS A total of 425 peripheral artery disease patients who underwent PTA for CLI were enrolled. The patients were divided into the hyperuricemia group (n = 101) and the normal group (n = 324). The primary endpoint was major adverse cerebral and cardiovascular event (MACCE), including death, myocardial infarction, any coronary revascularization, and stroke, up to 5 years. The secondary endpoint was a major adverse limb event (MALE), including any repeated PTA, and target extremity surgery. Inverse probability weighting (IPTW) analysis, derived from the logistic regression model, was performed to adjust for potential confounders. RESULTS After IPTW matching analysis, compared to the normal group, the hyperuricemia group was associated with a higher incidence of MACCE (20.7% vs. 13.6%, hazard ratio [HR], 1.65; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.15-2.38, P = 0.006) including non-cardiac death (11.7% vs. 6.3%, HR: 1.95, 95% CI: 1.19-3.19, P = 0.006) and MALE (47.7% vs. 36.0%, HR: 1.62, 95% CI: 1.23-2.13, P = 0.001) including non-target extremity revascularization (15.0% vs. 6.8%, HR: 2.42, 95% CI: 1.52-3.84, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION In the present study, hyperuricemia was associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients with CLI following PTA during 5-year clinical follow-up. Efficacy of controlling hyperuricemia in improving clinical outcomes should be evaluated in further studies.

Abstract
AIMS To determine the association between: (i) baseline serum uric acid (SUA) level and (ii) SUA changes over time, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) resolution. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective cohort study, comprising 38 483 subjects aged <40 years with pre-existing NAFLD, was undertaken. The effects of SUA changes over time were studied in 25 266 subjects. Participants underwent a health examination between 2011 and 2019, and at least one follow-up liver ultrasonography scan up to December 2020. Exposures included baseline SUA level and SUA changes between baseline and subsequent visits, categorized into quintiles. The reference group was the third quintile (Q3) containing zero change. The primary endpoint was resolution of NAFLD. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 4 years, low baseline SUA level and decreases in SUA levels over time were independently associated with NAFLD resolution (p for trend <0.001). Using SUA as a continuous variable, the likelihood of NAFLD resolution was increased by 10% and 13% in men and women, respectively, per 1-mg/dL decrease in SUA. In a time-dependent model with changes in SUA treated as a time-varying covariate, adjusted hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) for NAFLD resolution comparing Q1 (highest decrease) and Q2 (slight decrease) to Q3 (reference) were 1.63 (1.49-1.78) and 1.23 (1.11-1.35) in men and 1.78 (1.49-2.12) and 1.18 (0.95-1.46) in women, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Low baseline SUA levels and a decrease in SUA levels over time were both associated with NAFLD resolution in young adults.

Abstract
Background: The role of serum urate (SU) levels in the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains a topic of debate, and it is unclear whether a healthy diet can mitigate the impact of SU on COPD risk. The objective of this study is to examine whether and to what extent a healthy diet can reduce the risk of COPD in relation to SU levels. Methods: The cohort analysis included 155 403 participants from the UK Biobank. SU levels were measured at the time of recruitment. A healthy diet score was calculated based on the consumption of vegetables, fruits, fish, processed meats, unprocessed red meat, whole grains, and refined grains. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the associations between SU levels, a healthy diet score, and the risk of COPD. Results: During a follow-up period of 1 409 969 person-years, 2918 incident cases of COPD were identified. Compared with the lowest SU level group, the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for COPD were 1.17 (1.03, 1.34) for participants with the highest SU level (hyperuricemia), indicating a positive association. Additionally, a dose-response relationship was observed between SU levels and the incidence of COPD (P-value for overall <0.0001). In the combined effect analysis, compared to individuals with high SU (hyperuricemia) + a low diet score (diet score <4), those with normal SU + a high diet score (diet score ≥4) had a HR (95% CI) of 0.75 (0.65, 0.87) for COPD. Conclusions: In summary, there is a positive association between SU levels and the risk of COPD. Furthermore, a healthier diet can mitigate the risk of COPD associated with high SU levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insufficient attention has been given to examining the correlation between body composition and hyperuricemia, leading to inconsistent findings. The primary objective of this research is to explore the association between lean body mass index (LMI), visceral fat mass index (VFMI), and hyperuricemia. A specific emphasis will be placed on assessing the link between the ratio of lean body mass to visceral fat mass (LMI/VFMI) and hyperuricemia. METHODS The present study employed a cross-sectional design and involved a total of 9,646 individuals who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). To explore the associations among the variables, logistic and linear regressions were employed. Additionally, subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses were conducted based on various characteristics. RESULTS The results showed that LMI was positively associated with hyperuricemia (for Per-SD: OR = 1.88, 95%CI: 1.75, 2.01; for quartiles [Q4:Q1]: OR = 5.37, 95%CI: 4.31, 6.69). Meanwhile, VFMI showed a positive association with hyperuricemia (for Per-SD: OR = 2.02, 95%CI: 1.88, 2.16; for quartiles [Q4:Q1]: OR =8.37, 95%CI: 6.70, 10.47). When considering the effects of In LMI/VFMI, an L-shaped negative association with hyperuricemia was observed (for Per-SD: OR = 0.45, 95%CI: 0.42, 0.49; for quartiles [Q4:Q1]: OR = 0.16, 95%CI: 0.13, 0.20). Subgroup and sensitivity analyses demonstrated the robustness of this association across different subgroups. Additionally, the segmented regression analysis indicated a saturation effect of 5.64 for the In LMI/VFMI with hyperuricemia (OR = 0.20, 95%CI: 0.17, 0.24). For every 2.72-fold increase of In LMI/VFMI, the risk of hyperuricemia was reduced by 80%. CONCLUSION The LMI/VFMI ratio is non-linearly associated with serum uric acid. Whether this association is causal needs to be confirmed in further longitudinal studies or Mendelian randomization.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is widely recognized as a highly sensitive technology for chemical detection and biological sensing. In SERS-based biomedical applications, developing highly efficient sensing platforms based on SERS plays a pivotal role in monitoring disease biomarker levels and facilitating the early detection of cancer biomarkers. Hyperuricemia, characterized by abnormally high concentrations of uric acid (UA) in the blood, was associated with a range of diseases, such as gouty arthritis, heart disease, and acute kidney injury. Recent reports have demonstrated the correlation between UA concentrations in blood and tears. In this work, we report the fabrication of SERS substrates utilizing ZnO nanocages and yolk-shell-structured plasmonic nanomaterials for the noninvasive detection of UA in tears. This innovative SERS substrate enables noninvasive and sensitive detection of UA to prevent hyperuricemia-related diseases.

Associations between hyperuricemia and ultrasound-detected knee synovial abnormalities in middle-aged and older population: a cross-sectional study. J Orthop Surg Res 2024; 19:226. [PMID: 38575963 PMCID: PMC10996165 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-024-04708-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2023] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Knee synovial abnormalities, potentially treatment targets for knee pain and osteoarthritis, are common in middle-aged and older population, but its etiology remains unclear. We examined the associations between hyperuricemia and knee synovial abnormalities detected by ultrasound in a general population sample. METHODS Participants aged ≥ 50 years were from a community-based observational study. Hyperuricemia was defined as serum urate (SU) level > 416 µmol/L in men and > 357 µmol/L in women. Ultrasound of both knees was performed to determine the presence of synovial abnormalities, i.e., synovial hypertrophy, effusion, or Power Doppler signal (PDS). We examined the relation of hyperuricemia to prevalence of knee synovial abnormalities and its laterality, and the dose-response relationships between SU levels and the prevalence of knee synovial abnormalities. RESULTS In total, 3,405 participants were included in the analysis. Hyperuricemia was associated with higher prevalence of knee synovial abnormality (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.21, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02 to 1.43), synovial hypertrophy (aOR = 1.33, 95% CI: 1.05 to 1.68), and effusion (aOR = 1.21, 95% CI: 1.02 to 1.44), respectively. There were dose-response relationships between SU levels and synovial abnormalities. Additionally, the hyperuricemia was more associated with prevalence of bilateral than with that of unilateral knee synovial abnormality, synovial hypertrophy, or effusion; however, no significant association was observed between hyperuricemia and PDS. CONCLUSION In this population-based study we found that hyperuricemia was associated with higher prevalence of knee synovial abnormality, synovial hypertrophy and effusion, suggesting that hyperuricemia may play a role in pathogenesis of knee synovial abnormalities.

Abstract
In the realm of hematologic disorders, acute leukemia is approached as an emergent disease given the multitude of complications and challenges that present both as a result of inherent disease pathology and adverse events associated with antineoplastic therapies and interventions. The heavy burden of leukemic cells may lead to complications including tumor lysis syndrome, hyperleukocytosis, leukostasis, and differentiation syndrome, and the initiation of treatment can further exacerbate these effects. Capillary leak syndrome is observed as a result of antineoplastic agents used in acute leukemia, and L-asparaginase, a bacterial-derived enzyme, has a unique side effect profile including association with thrombosis. Thrombohemorrhagic syndrome and malignancy-associated thrombosis are also commonly observed complications due to direct disequilibrium in coagulant and anticoagulant factors. Due to inherent effects on the white blood cell milieu, leukemia patients are inherently immunocompromised and vulnerable to life-threatening sepsis. Lastly, the advents of newer therapies such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells have clinicians facing the management of related toxicities on unfamiliar territory. This review aims to discuss these acute leukemia-associated complications, their pathology, and management recommendations.
