Abstract
Uric acid is the final metabolite in humans. High level of uric acid chronically induces urate deposition, aggravates kidney damage, and concomitantly causes an increase in inflammatory factors. Alleviating acute inflammation and decreasing uric acid levels are the key points in the treatment of inflammatory diseases associated with high uric acid. However, a drug delivery system that combines anti-inflammatory and uric acid reduction functions at the same time remains a challenge to be settled. Here, we designed a nanocrystal-based co-delivery platform, IND Nplex, characterized by loading of indomethacin (IND) and uricase. Compared with free IND or uricase, IND Nplex possessed a better anti-inflammatory effect by restraining the release of inflammation-related factors in vitro. In addition, pharmacokinetic and biodistribution studies revealed that IND Nplex significantly prolonged the retention time in vivo and was more concentrated in the kidney. In acute gouty arthritis model rats, IND Nplex markedly relieved ankle joint swelling and mitigated synovial inflammation. In acute kidney injury model rats, IND Nplex indicated better biocompatibility and significant amelioration of renal fibrosis. Moreover, IND Nplex showed the effect of anti-inflammatory and improved renal function via determination of inflammatory factors and biochemical markers in the serum and kidney. In conclusion, these results indicate that IND Nplex exerts anti-inflammatory activity and uric acid-lowering effect and could become a promising candidate for the treatment of uric acid-related diseases.

Associations of toxic metals and their mixture with hyperuricemia in Chinese rural older adults. ENVIRONMENTAL GEOCHEMISTRY AND HEALTH 2024; 46:256. [PMID: 38884822 DOI: 10.1007/s10653-024-02035-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024]
Abstract
Previous studies have related single toxic metals (TMs) to hyperuricemia (HUA) among the general population, however, the association of the TM mixture with HUA, especially in older adults, remains poorly understood. We aimed to examine the relationships between individual TMs and their mixture and HUA in Chinese rural older adults. This study consisted of 2075 rural older adults aged 60 years or over. Blood concentrations of aluminum (Al), arsenic (As), barium (Ba), cadmium (Cd), cesium (Cs), gallium (Ga), mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), thallium (Tl), and uranium (U) were detected using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The associations of single TMs with HUA were assessed using logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) models, and the association of TM mixture with HUA was explored using the elastic net with environmental risk score (ENET-ERS), quantile g-computation (QGC), and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) models, respectively. Adjusted logistic regression model showed that Cs (OR = 1.65, 95% CI 1.37-1.99) and Pb (OR = 1.46, 95% CI 1.28-1.67) were positively related to HUA, and RCS model exhibited a positive linear association of Cs and Pb with HUA. ENET-ERS and QGC models quantified a positive correlation between the TM mixture and the odds of HUA, with estimated ORs of 1.15 (95% CI 1.11-1.19) and 1.84 (95% CI 1.37-2.47), respectively, and Cs and Pb had the most weight. BKMR model demonstrated a significant linear association between the TM mixture and increased odds of HUA, with the posterior inclusion probabilities (PIPs) of both Cs and Pb being 1.00. Moreover, we observed a positive interaction between Cs and Pb on HUA. The TM mixture is associated with increased odds of HUA in rural older adults, which may mainly be driven by Cs and Pb. Subsequent studies are warranted to confirm these findings and clarify the mechanisms linking multiple TMs with HUA.

Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to identify independent risk factors for carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) in a population with hyperuricemia (HUA) and develop a CAS risk prediction model. Patients and Methods This retrospective study included 3579 HUA individuals who underwent health examinations, including carotid ultrasonography, at the Zhenhai Lianhua Hospital in Ningbo, China, in 2020. All participants were randomly assigned to the training and internal validation sets in a 7:3 ratio. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors associated with CAS. The characteristic variables were screened using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator combined with 10-fold cross-validation, and the resulting model was visualized by a nomogram. The discriminative ability, calibration, and clinical utility of the risk model were validated using the receiver operating characteristic curve, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis. Results Sex, age, mean red blood cell volume, and fasting blood glucose were identified as independent risk factors for CAS in the HUA population. Age, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, serum creatinine, fasting blood glucose, total triiodothyronine, and direct bilirubin, were screened to construct a CAS risk prediction model. In the training and internal validation sets, the risk prediction model showed an excellent discriminative ability with the area under the curve of 0.891 and 0.901, respectively, and a high level of fit. Decision curve analysis results demonstrated that the risk prediction model could be beneficial when the threshold probabilities were 1-87% and 1-100% in the training and internal validation sets, respectively. Conclusion We developed and internally validated a risk prediction model for CAS in a population with HUA, thereby contributing to the CAS early identification.

Abstract
PURPOSE Probiotics have been reported to effectively alleviate hyperuricemia and regulate the gut microbiota. The aim of this work was to study the in vivo anti-hyperuricemic properties and the mechanism of a novel strain, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum X7022. METHODS Purine content and mRNA expression of purine assimilation related enzymes were determined by HPLC and qPCR, respectively. Hyperuricemic mice were induced by potassium oxonate and hypoxanthine. Uric acid (UA), blood urea nitrogen, creatinine and renal inflammation were examined by kits. The expression of renal UA transporters was subjected to western blotting. Kidney tissues were sectioned for histological analysis. The fecal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) were determined by HPLC, and gut microbiota was investigated using the 16S rDNA metagenomic sequencing. RESULTS L. plantarum X7022 possesses a complete purine assimilation pathway and can exhaust xanthine, guanine, and adenine by 82.1%, 33.1%, and 12.6%, respectively. The strain exhibited gastrointestinal viability as 44% at the dose of 109 CFU/mL in mice. After four-week administration of the strain, a significant decrease of 35.5% in the serum UA level in hyperuricemic mice was achieved. The diminished contents of fecal propionate and butyrate were dramatically boosted. The treatment also alleviated renal inflammation and restored renal damage. The above physiological changes may due to the inhibited xanthine oxidase (XO) activity, as well as the expressional regulation of UA transporters (GLUT9, URAT1 and OAT1) to the normal level. Notably, gut microbiota dysbiosis in hyperuricemic mice was improved with the inflammation and hyperuricemia related flora depressed, and SCFAs production related flora promoted. CONCLUSION The strain is a promising probiotic strain for ameliorating hyperuricemia.

JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 322:117678. [PMID: 38159820 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.117678] [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: 10/21/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 12/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Hyperuricemic nephropathy (HN) is a renal injury caused by hyperuricemia and is the main cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. ShiWeiHeZiSan, which is composed mainly of components of Terminalia chebula Retz. And is recorded in the Four Medical Tantras, is a typical traditional Tibetan medicinal formula for renal diseases. Although T. chebula has been reported to improve renal dysfunction and reduce renal cell apoptosis, the specific mechanism of the nephroprotective effects of T. chebula on HN is still unclear. AIM OF THE STUDY This study was conducted to evaluate the effects and specific mechanism of T. chebula extract on HN through network pharmacology and in vivo and in vitro experiments. MATERIALS AND METHODS Potassium oxalate (1.5 g/kg) and adenine (50 mg/kg) were combined for oral administration to establish the HN rat model, and the effects of T. chebula extract on rats in the HN model were evaluated by renal function indices and histopathological examinations. UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap/MS analysis was also conducted to investigate the chemical components of T. chebula extract, and the potential therapeutic targets of T. chebula in HN were predicted by network pharmacology analysis. Moreover, the activation of potential pathways and the expression of related mRNAs and proteins were further observed in HN model rats and uric acid-treated HK-2 cells. RESULTS T. chebula treatment significantly decreased the serum uric acid (SUA), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (SCr) levels in HN rats and ameliorated renal pathological injury and fibrosis. A total of 25 chemical components in T. chebula extract were identified by UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap/MS analysis, and network pharmacology analysis indicated that the NF-κB pathway was the potential pathway associated with the therapeutic effects of T. chebula extract on HN. RT‒PCR analysis, immunofluorescence staining and ELISA demonstrated that the mRNA and protein levels of TLR4 and MyD88 were significantly decreased in the renal tissue of HN rats after treatment with T. chebula extract at different concentrations, while the phosphorylation of P65 and the secretion of TNF-α and IL-6 were significantly inhibited. The results of in vitro experiments showed that T. chebula extract significantly decreased the protein levels of TLR4, MyD88, p-IκBα and p-P65 in uric acid-treated HK-2 cells and inhibited the nuclear translocation of p65 in these cells. In addition, the expression of inflammatory factors (IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α) and fibrotic genes (α-SMA and fibronectin) was significantly downregulated by T. chebula extract treatment, while E-cadherin expression was significantly upregulated. CONCLUSION T. chebula extract exerts nephroprotective effects on HN, such as anti-inflammatory effects and fibrosis improvement, by regulating the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB axis, which supports the general use of T. chebula in the management of HN and other chronic kidney diseases.

[PMID: 38333884 PMCID: PMC10850937 DOI: 10.1093/rap/rkae009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 02/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective Life's Essential 8 (LE8) is a new comprehensive metric based on Life's Simple 7 (LS7). Few studies have investigated the association between LE8 and the odds of hyperuricaemia (HUA). This study examined the association between LE8, LS7 with odds of HUA. Methods We cross-sectionally analysed data from the China Multi-Ethnic Cohort (CMEC) study. LE8 and LS7 were categorized as low, moderate and high. The CMEC provided an ideal and unique opportunity to characterize the association between LE8, LS7 and the odds of HUA. Results Of the 89 823 participants, 14 562 (16.2%) had HUA. A high level of LE8 was associated with lower odds of HUA after full adjustment. The adjusted odds ratios (ORs) were 1 (reference), 0.70 (95% CI 0.67, 0.73) and 0.45 (0.42, 0.48) across low, moderate and high LE8 groups, respectively (Ptrend < 0.001). Similar results were observed in LS7 and HUA. The adjusted ORs were 1 (reference), 0.68 (95% CI 0.65, 0.71) and 0.46 (95% CI 0.43, 0.49) across low, moderate and high LS7 groups, respectively (Ptrend < 0.001). There were significant interactions between LE8 and age, gender, ethnicity and drinking habits on HUA. Receiver operating characteristics analysis showed that the area under the curve for LE8 and LS7 were similar (0.638 and 0.635, respectively). Conclusion This study indicated a clearly inverse gradient association between the cardiovascular health metrics LE8 and LS7 and the odds of HUA.

Abstract
Uric acid (UA) is the final metabolite of purines in the liver that can cause hyperuricemia at high levels. The kidneys are the main excretory organs for UA. The excessive accumulation of UA in the kidneys causes the development of hyperuricemia that often leads to renal injury. Eupatilin (Eup) is a flavonoid natural product that possesses various pharmacological properties such as antioxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory. We were interested in exploring the potential role of Eup in lowering UA and nephroprotective. We initially investigated the effects of Eup on xanthin oxidase (XOD) activity in vitro, followed by investigating its ability to lower UA levels, anti-inflammatory effects, nephroprotective effects, and the underlying mechanisms using hyperuricemia rats sustained at high UA level. The results showed that Eup had an inhibitory effect on XOD activity in vitro and significantly reduced serum UA, creatinine, BUN, IL-1β and IL-6 levels in hyperuricemic rats, ameliorating inflammation, renal oxidative stress and pathological injury. Furthermore, Eup inhibited ADA and XOD enzyme activities in the liver and serum and modulated GLUT9, URAT1 and ABCG2 protein expression in the kidneys and ileum. Our findings provide a scientific basis for suggesting Eup as an option for a potential treatment for hyperuricemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between alcohol consumption and hyperuricaemia (HUA), we conducted a study based on a large population. SETTING Cross-sectional study. PARTICIPANTS A total of 20 833 participants aged 30-79 years were enrolled in the China Multi-Ethnic Cohort, Chongqing region. OUTCOMES The serum level of uric acid, fasting blood glucose and blood lipids were tested. Basic demographic statistics such as age, gender, marital status, education level, family annual income and the detail information of alcohol consumption were collected using a standardised questionnaire. RESULTS After controlling for potential confounders, compared with participants who never consumed alcohol, participants who drank 3-5 days per week had the highest risk of HUA (OR: 1.51, 95% CI: 1.25 to 1.82) and those who drank alcohol harmfully had the highest risk of HUA (OR: 1.81, 95% CI: 1.41 to 2.32). In addition, we found that those who drank moderately had no significant association with risk of HUA. However, among men, compared with participants who never consumed alcohol, those who drank moderately was also a risk factor of HUA (OR: 1.23, 95% CI: 1.03 to 1.46) and those who drank alcohol harmfully had the highest risk of HUA (OR: 2.13, 95% CI: 1.64 to 2.78). Compared with participants who drank alcohol moderately, the OR (95% CI) for those who drank alcohol harmfully had the highest risk of HUA was 1.88 (1.42 to 2.48), and the corresponding OR (95% CI) for each level increment in the degree of alcohol consumption was 1.22 (1.12 to 1.33). Among men, compared with participants who drank alcohol moderately, those who drank alcohol harmfully had the highest risk of HUA (OR: 1.93, 95% CI: 1.45 to 2.57), as well as the corresponding OR (95% CI) for each level increment in the degree of alcohol consumption was 1.24 (1.13 to 1.35). CONCLUSION This study suggested that the frequency and degree of alcohol consumption may be the risk factors for HUA, especially in males.

Associations of polychlorinated biphenyl and organochlorine pesticide exposure with hyperuricemia: modification by lifestyle factors. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:106562-106570. [PMID: 37726631 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-29938-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2023] [Accepted: 09/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/21/2023]
Abstract
Recent research has reported positive associations of exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) with hyperuricemia. However, most of these studies have primarily focused on the individual effects of PCB/OCP exposure. We aimed to explore the associations of both individual and combined PCB/OCP exposure with hyperuricemia and examine whether such associations could be modified by lifestyle factors. The cross-sectional study recruited 2032 adults between March and May 2019 in Wuhan, China. Logistic regression and weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression were applied to explore the relationship of individual and combined PCB/OCP exposure with hyperuricemia, while considering the modified effects of lifestyle factors. Of the 2032 participants, 522 (25.7%) had hyperuricemia. Compared with the non-detected group, the detected groups of PCB153 and PCB180 exhibited a positive association with hyperuricemia, with OR (95% CIs) of 1.52 (1.22, 1.91) and 1.51 (1.20, 1.90), respectively. WQS regression showed that PCB/OCP mixture was positively associated with hyperuricemia (OR: 1.31, 95% CI: 1.08, 1.58). PCB153/PCB180 exposure, combined with an unhealthy lifestyle, has a significant additive effect on hyperuricemia. Overall, PCB/OCP mixture and individual PCB153/PCB180 exposure were positively associated with hyperuricemia. Adherence to a healthy lifestyle may modify the potential negative impact of PCBs/OCPs on hyperuricemia.

Abstract
To evaluate the urate-lowering effect and potential drug targets of antihypertensive agent allisartan isoproxil (ALI) and its bioactive metabolite EXP3174, we developed an acute hyperuricemic zebrafish model using potassium oxonate and xanthine sodium salt. Losartan potassium served as the positive control (reference drug). In this model, ALI and losartan potassium exerted a greater urate-lowering effect than EXP3174 indicating that the latter is not the critical substance for elimination of uric acid. The quantitative real-time PCR showed that ALI upregulates the expression of intestinal urate transporters genes ABCG2, PDZK1, and SLC2A9 (p<0.01). Thus, we can suggest that this substance promotes uric acid excretion mainly by interacting with intestinal urate transporters.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was designed to investigate the clinicopathological features of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) with hyperuricemia (HUA), together with associated factors within 10 years in a single centre in Shandong Province. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we analysed the clinical and pathological data of 694 IMN patients in our hospital from January 2010 to December 2019. Based on serum uric acid (UA) level, the patients were divided into hyperuricemia (HUA) group (n = 213) and normal serum uric acid (NUA) group (n = 481). Multi-variate logistic regression analysis was conducted on to screen the associated factors of HUA. RESULTS 213 (30.69%) IMN patient were complicated with HUA. Compared with the patients with NUA, significant increase was noticed in the proportion of patients showing edema, concurrent hypertensive disease or diabetes mellitus (DM), as well as the proportion of positive glomerular capillary loop IgM and positive C1q in the HUA group (P < 0.05). In addition, significant increase was noticed in the 24 h urine protein, serum creatinine, triglycerides, complement C3 and complement C4 in HUA group compared with those of NUA group (all P < 0.05). With gender as a control factor, multi-variate logistic regression analysis showed positive glomerular capillary loops C1q, serum albumin, serum phosphorus were associated with IMN combined with HUA in male, while triglycerides and serum creatinine were associated with IMN combined with HUA in female counterparts. CONCLUSION About 30.69% of IMN patients had HUA, with a male predominance than female. In male patients with IMN, higher serum albumin level and serum phosphorus level were associated with higher incidence of HUA, while in female IMN patients, higher serum triglyceridemia and serum creatinine level were associated with higher incidence of HUA. Therefore, it can be targeted to prevent the occurrence of HUA in IMN.

Abstract
Recently, the incidence of hyperuricemia increased with patient rejuvenation, searching for new xanthine oxidase (XOD) inhibitors from natural products becomes important. In our previous work, a flavonoid extract of saffron floral bio-residues (SFB) was found to alleviate hyperuricemia via inhibiting XOD. In this study, an integrated approach combining two-dimensional liquid chromatography, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) was developed to online screen and character the potential XOD inhibitors from SFB. The two-dimensional liquid chromatography consisted of affinity chromatography and reverse phase chromatography (2D-AR), in which an XOD column, an inactive XOD column, and a control column were used in the first dimensional liquid chromatography to avoid phenomena of "false positive" and "missing screen of compounds with weak affinity to XOD" that often occur in the screening process, and a C18 column was used in the second dimensional liquid chromatography to separate the mixed XOD binders. Four flavonoid glycosides, i.e., quercetin-3-O-sophoroside (QS), kaempferol-3-O-sophoroside (KS), kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside (KR), and kaempferol-3-O-glucoside (KG), were thus successfully screened and identified from SFB extract by the 2D-AR method. The affinity of QS, KS, KR, KG, kaempferol (aglycone of KS, KR and KG), and quercetin (aglycone of QS) binding to XOD was investigated using SPR method, with KD ranged from 4.8 μM to 47.6 μM. The inhibitor constant (KI) of KS, KR, KG, quercetin and kaempferol were 4.92 mM, 1.11 mM, 0.294 mM, 4.93 μM and 3.27 μM, respectively, determined using ITC method. Finally, the anti-XOD activities of KS, the most abundant flavonoid in SFB extract, and kaempferol in hyperuricemia mice were verified, which suggested that the multi-hyphenated approach established herein can be applied for screen and character the XOD inhibitors in natural products.

Simiao San alleviates hyperuricemia and kidney inflammation by inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome and JAK2/STAT3 signaling in hyperuricemia mice. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 312:116530. [PMID: 37098372 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.116530] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2023] [Revised: 04/15/2023] [Accepted: 04/18/2023] [Indexed: 05/08/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Simiao San (SmS), a famous traditional Chinese formula, is clinically used to treat patients with hyperuricemia (HUA). However, its mechanism of action on lowering uric acid (UA) and inhibiting inflammation still deserves further investigation. AIM OF THE STUDY To examine the effect and its possible underlying mechanism of SmS on UA metabolism and kidney injury in HUA mouse. MATERIALS AND METHODS The HUA mouse model was constructed with the combined administration of both potassium oxalate and hypoxanthine. The effects of SmS on UA, xanthine oxidase (XOD), creatinine (CRE), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), interleukin-10 (IL-10), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were determined by ELISA or biochemical assays. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) was used to observe pathological alterations in the kidneys of HUA mice. The expression levels of organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1), recombinant urate transporter 1 (URAT1), glucose transporter 9 (GLUT9), nucleotide binding domain and leucine rich repeat pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), Cleaved-Caspase 1, apoptosis-associated speck like protein (ASC), nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB), IL-6, janus kinase 2 (JAK2), phosphor (P)-JAK2, signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (STAT3), P-STAT3, suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) were examined by Western blot and/or immunohistochemical (IHC) staining. The major ingredients in SmS were identified by a HPLC-MS assay. RESULTS HUA mouse exhibited an elevation in serum levels of UA, BUN, CRE, XOD, and the ratio of urinary albumin to creatinine (UACR), and a decline in urine levels of UA and CRE. In addition, HUA induces pro-inflammatory microenvironment in mouse, including an increase in serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, and renal expressions of URAT1, GULT9, NLRP3, ASC, Cleaved-Caspase1, P-JAK2/JAK2, P-STAT3/STAT3, and SOCS3, and a decrease in serum IL-10 level and renal OAT1 expression as well as a disorganization of kidney pathological microstructure. In contrast, SmS intervention reversed these alterations in HUA mouse. CONCLUSION SmS could alleviate hyperuricemia and renal inflammation in HUA mouse. The action mechanisms behind these alterations may be associated with a limitation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathways.

Effect of Alcohol Consumption Habits on Early Arterial Aging in Subjects with Metabolic Syndrome and Elevated Serum Uric Acid. Nutrients 2023; 15:3346. [PMID: 37571284 PMCID: PMC10421141 DOI: 10.3390/nu15153346] [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: 07/04/2023] [Revised: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 07/26/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperuricemia is perceived as one of the risk factors for developing and progressing cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome through various pathological mechanisms. Endogenous synthesis and exogenous factors such as diet and beverages consumed play a major role in determining serum uric acid (sUA) levels. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of alcohol consumption on early arterial aging in middle-aged patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and hyperuricemia. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study included 661 middle-aged subjects (241 men and 420 women) from the Lithuanian High Cardiovascular Risk (LitHiR) primary prevention program. Characteristics of subjects such as blood pressure, laboratory testing, and the specialized nutrition profile questionnaire were evaluated. As an early marker of arterial stiffness, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) was assessed using a non-invasive applanation tonometry technique. RESULTS Hyperuricemia was present in 29% of men and 34% of women. Hyperuricemic men reported 1.6 times higher rates of alcohol drinking compared to men with normal sUA levels. After analyzing the correlation between alcohol consumption and cfPWV, no statistically significant relationships were found at a significance level of α = 0.05 but lowering the significance level to 0.06 revealed significant associations in men with normal sUA (ε2ordinal = 0.05, p = 0.06) and in women with increased sUA levels (ε2ordinal = 0.05, p = 0.08). Regression analysis showed that hyperuricemic men, consuming more than one unit of alcohol per week, had a significant impact on increasing cfPWV, while men with normal sUA levels, abstaining from alcohol entirely, resulted in a statistically significant decrease in cfPWV. Our results showed statistically significant relationships only among a group of men, although the women in the hyperuricemic group had a statistically higher cfPWV than women with normal sUA levels. CONCLUSIONS Drinking alcohol is associated with increased arterial stiffness among hyperuricemic middle-aged men with MetS.

Abstract
Xanthine oxidase (XO), a key enzyme in purine catabolism, catalyzes the oxidation of xanthine to uric acid in the body, but overproduction of uric acid may lead to hyperuricemia. This study aims to investigate in vitro XO inhibitory and in vivo anti-hyperuricemic properties of sodium kaempferol-3'-sulfonate (KS). The kinetic analysis indicates that KS is a reversible competitive inhibitor and has significant inhibitory effects on XO activity with an IC50 value of 0.338 μM. Fluorescence spectra suggested that KS could cause fluorescence quenching and conformational changes of XO due to the formation of a KS-XO complex. Molecular docking studies demonstrated that KS interacted with several amino acid residues of XO by the π-π stacking, hydrogen bonds, and hydrophobic interactions. The inhibitory mechanism of KS on XO activity might be the insertion of KS into the active site of XO to prevent the entrance of the substrate xanthine and induce conformational changes of XO. The results carried out in hyperuricemic mice showed that KS reduced serum XO activity, serum uric acid (UA), creatinine (CRE), and urea nitrogen (BUN) levels, as well as alleviating renal histopathological injury. These findings suggest that KS may be a new potent XO inhibitor against hyperuricemia-related diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Gegen Qinlian Decoction (GGQLD) is a renowned traditional Chinese medicinal formula that has been used for centuries to effectively treat asymptomatic Hyperuricemia (HUA). This study aims to investigate the underlying mechanism of GGQLD's therapeutic effects on HUA. METHODS The study enrolled a total of 25 healthy participants and 32 middle-aged and elderly individuals with asymptomatic HUA. All asymptomatic HUA participants were treated with GGQLD. Venous blood samples were collected from all participants to isolate peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), which were then analyzed for biological profiles using flow cytometry. Network pharmacology analysis was utilized to identify the potential pathways involved in the therapeutic effects of GGQLD. Transcriptomic patterns of cultured proximal tubule epithelial cells (PTECs) were evaluated via bulk RNA-seq, and critical differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified and verified through ELISA. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation were employed to investigate the potential compounds in GGQLD that may be involved in treating HUA. RESULTS Network pharmacology analysis revealed that immune-related pathways might be involved in the therapeutic mechanism of GGQLD. RNA-seq analysis confirmed the involvement of innate lymphoid cell (ILC) development-related genes and clock genes. Polychromatic flow cytometric analysis demonstrated that GGQLD treatment reduced the proportion of ILC3s in total ILCs in asymptomatic HUA patients. ELISA results showed that GGQLD treatment reduced the levels of activating factors, such as ILC3-IL-18 and IL-1β, in the plasma of HUA patients. GGQLD was also found to regulate circadian clock gene expression in PBMCs to treat asymptomatic HUA. Furthermore, the interaction between 40 compounds in GGQLD and HDAC3 (Histone Deacetylase 3), NLRP3 (NOD-like receptor protein 3), RORA (RAR-related orphan receptor A), and REV-ERBα (nuclear receptor subfamily 1) revealed that GGQLD may regulate ILCs and clock genes to treat asymptomatic HUA. CONCLUSIONS The regulation of circadian clock gene expression and the proportion of ILC cells may be involved in the therapeutic effects of GGQLD on asymptomatic HUA patients.

Abstract
Hyperuricemia (HUA) endangers human health, and its prevalence has increased rapidly in recent decades. The current study investigated HUA's prevalence and influencing factors in Gongcheng, southern China. A cross-sectional investigation was conducted; 2128 participants aged 30-93 years were included from 2018 to 2019. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to screen HUA variables. A Bayesian network model was constructed using the PC algorithm to evaluate the association between influencing factors and HUA. The prevalence of HUA was 15.6% (23.2% in men, 10.7% in women). After screening the variables using a logistic regression analysis model, fatty liver disease (FLD), dyslipidemia, abdominal obesity, creatinine (CREA), somatotype, bone mass, drinking, and physical activity level at work were included in the Bayesian network model. The model results showed that dyslipidemia, somatotype, CREA, and drinking were directly related to HUA. Bone mass and FLD were indirectly associated with HUA by affecting the somatotype. The prevalence of HUA in Gongcheng was high in China. The prevalence of HUA was related to somatotype, drinking, bone mass, physical activity level at work, and other metabolic diseases. A good diet and moderate exercise are recommended to maintain a healthy somatotype and reduce the prevalence rate of HUA.

Abstract
We encountered three cases of gouty tophus in the foot that required resection. All patients were male and aged 44-68 years at the time of surgery. The lesions were located on the great toe, second toe, and lateral malleolus and were causing ulceration and destruction of the joints. One patient had normal uric acid levels, and another patient had hyperuricemia but no history of attacks and no significant inflammatory symptoms around the gouty tophus, which was attributed to the physical containment of uric acid crystals by the gouty tophus. Given that the crystals were adherent to the surrounding fibrous tissue and cartilage surface, we resected them as far as possible to reduce the total amount of crystals and treated the remaining crystals with uric acid-lowering therapy. There were no complications at the time of surgery. The swelling and bone destruction subsided with continued medical treatment, resulting in significant improvement in quality of life. Patients with gouty tophus should be treated aggressively with medication and monitored to prevent severe joint destruction and ulceration. Excision of the nodule should be considered in cases of exacerbation.

Abstract
PURPOSE The goal of this study was to examine the role of sodium butyrate in preserving the intestinal mucosal barrier and reducing hyperuricemia (HUA). METHODS First, we established a mouse model of HUA via intraperitoneal injection of potassium oxonate together with a yeast-rich diet to detect the levels of serum uric acid (UA) and fecal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Then, in vitro, different concentrations of UA and sodium butyrate (NaB) were used to treat LS174T and Caco2 cells. The effects of UA and NaB on the gut barrier were determined based on the expression levels of MUC2, ZO-1, and Occludin.Finally, C57BL/6 mice were used to model HUA, and these mice were administered 200 mg·kg-1·d-1 NaB by gavage to counter the HUA. The effect of NaB on HUA in the intestinal tract was elucidated by determining serum UA levels, inflammatory parameters, epithelial barrier integrity, and via histological analysis. RESULTS The data showed that the content of fecal SCFAs in HUA mice decreased. Additionally, in LS174T and Caco2 cells, NaB reversed the decrease of ZO-1, Occludin, and MUC2 protein expression caused by high UA levels. Furthermore, NaB decreased serum UA of HUA mice, and reversed both the decreased expression of MUC2, ZO-1, Occludin, and ABCG2 proteins and the increased level of inflammatory factors in the intestinal tissues of these mice. CONCLUSION The HUA mouse model showed intestinal barrier damage. NaB protected the intestinal barrier of HUA mice and reduced the serum UA level.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is limited longitudinal evidence supporting the association between the hypertriglyceridemic-waist (HTGW) phenotype and hyperuricemia. This study aimed to examine the longitudinal relationship between hyperuricemia and the HTGW phenotype among males and females. METHODS A total of 5562 hyperuricemia-free participants aged 45 or over from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (mean age: 59.0) were followed for 4 years. The HTGW phenotype was defined as having elevated triglyceride levels and enlarged waist circumference (cutoffs for males: 2.0 mmol/L and 90 cm; females: 1.5 mmol/L and 85 cm). Hyperuricemia was determined by uric acid cutoffs (males: 7 mg/dl; females: 6 mg/dl. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to assess the association between the HTGW phenotype and hyperuricemia. The joint effect of the HTGW phenotype and sex on hyperuricemia was quantified, and the multiplicative interaction was assessed. RESULTS During the four-year follow-up, 549 (9.9%) incident hyperuricemia cases were ascertained. Compared with those with normal levels of triglycerides and waist circumference, participants with the HTGW phenotype had the highest risk of hyperuricemia (OR: 2.67; 95% CI: 1.95 to 3.66), followed by an OR of 1.96 (95% CI: 1.40 to 2.74) for only higher triglyceride levels and 1.39 (95% CI: 1.03 to 1.86) for only greater waist circumference. The association between HTGW and hyperuricemia was more prominent among females (OR = 2.36; 95% CI: 1.77 to 3.15) than males (OR = 1.29; 95% CI: 0.82 to 2.04), with evidence of a multiplicative interaction (P = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS Middle-aged and older females with the HTGW phenotype may at the highest risk of hyperuricemia. Future hyperuricemia prevention interventions should be primarily targeted for females with the HTGW phenotype.

Abstract
Epidemiological studies using conventional statistical methods have reported an association between individual metal exposure and hyperuricemia (HUA). There is also evidence that diet may influence HUA development, although the available data are inconsistent. We therefore used an elastic net regression (ENR) model to screen the usefulness of various environmental and dietary factors as predictors of HUA in a large sample cohort. This study included 6217 subjects drawn from the Shenzhen Aging Related Disorder Cohort. We obtained information on the subjects' dietary habits via face-to-face interviews and used inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to measure the urinary concentrations of 24 metals to which elderly persons in large urban areas may be exposed. An elastic net regression (ENR) model was generated to screen the utility of the metals and dietary factors as predictors of HUA, and we demonstrated the superiority of the ENR model by comparing it to a traditional logistic regression model. The identified predictors were used to create a clinically usable nomogram for identifying patients at risk of developing HUA. The area under curve (AUC) value of the final model was 0.692 for the training set and 0.706 for the test set. Important predictors of HUA were Zn, As, V, and Fe as well as consumption of wheat, beans, and rice; the corresponding estimated odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were 1.091 (0.932,1.251), 1.190 (1.093,1.286), 0.924 (0.793,1.055), 0.704 (0.626,0.781), 0.998 (0.996,1.001), 0.993 (0.989,0.998), and 1.001 (0.998,1.002), respectively. In contrast to previous studies, we found that both urinary metal concentrations and dietary habits are important for predicting HUA risk. Exposure to specific metals and consumption of specific foods were identified as important predictors of HUA, indicating that the incidence of this disease could be reduced by reducing exposure to these metals and promoting improved dietary habits.

Risk Prediction for the Development of Hyperuricemia: Model Development Using an Occupational Health Examination Dataset. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:3411. [PMID: 36834107 PMCID: PMC9967697 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20043411] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2022] [Revised: 02/13/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hyperuricemia has become the second most common metabolic disease in China after diabetes, and the disease burden is not optimistic. METHODS We used the method of retrospective cohort studies, a baseline survey completed from January to September 2017, and a follow-up survey completed from March to September 2019. A group of 2992 steelworkers was used as the study population. Three models of Logistic regression, CNN, and XG Boost were established to predict HUA incidence in steelworkers, respectively. The predictive effects of the three models were evaluated in terms of discrimination, calibration, and clinical applicability. RESULTS The training set results show that the accuracy of the Logistic regression, CNN, and XG Boost models was 84.4, 86.8, and 86.6, sensitivity was 68.4, 72.3, and 81.5, specificity was 82.0, 85.7, and 86.8, the area under the ROC curve was 0.734, 0.724, and 0.806, and Brier score was 0.121, 0.194, and 0.095, respectively. The XG Boost model effect evaluation index was better than the other two models, and similar results were obtained in the validation set. In terms of clinical applicability, the XG Boost model had higher clinical applicability than the Logistic regression and CNN models. CONCLUSION The prediction effect of the XG Boost model was better than the CNN and Logistic regression models and was suitable for the prediction of HUA onset risk in steelworkers.

Abstract
AIMS Visceral adiposity and skeletal muscle loss may be positively correlated with cardiometabolic outcomes. This study aimed to explore the associations between the visceral fat area to skeletal muscle mass ratio (VSR) and the risk of cardiometabolic diseases in a Chinese natural population. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 5158 participants were included in this study. Body composition, anthropometrical, and biochemical measurements were performed. Body composition was assessed via the direct segmental multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis method. The associations between VSR and metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), hyperglycemia, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and hyperuricemia were analysed. RESULTS With the increase of VSR by one quartile, the odds ratio (OR) increased significantly for all five cardiometabolic diseases in both genders (ptrend < 0.001). With regard to the highest versus the lowest quartile of VSR, the ORs for cardiometabolic diseases were significantly higher in women than in men. Restricted cubic splines showed that there were significant non-linear relationships between VSR and the risk of MAFLD, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and hypertension in both genders (p for non-linearity <0.05). The risk was relatively flat until VSR reached 3.078 cm2 /kg in men and 4.750 cm2 /kg in women and started to increase rapidly afterwards. In men, however, the risk slowed down after the VSR value reached around 4 cm2 /kg. CONCLUSIONS VSR was positively associated with cardiometabolic diseases regardless of gender. As VSR increased, the risk of cardiometabolic diseases was significantly higher in women than in men. TRIAL REGISTRATION www.chictr.org.cn (Registration number: ChiCTR2100044305).

High Prevalence of Hyperuricemia and Associated Factors among Zhuang Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study Based on the Ethnic Minority Population Cohort in the Southwestern China. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:16040.

Abstract
The highest prevalence of hyperuricemia was found in Zhuang minority adults in two national surveys in China, with only 1% Zhuang study subjects. However, the prevalence of hyperuricemia and the associated factors in Zhuang adults have not been well-addressed. A cross-sectional study was conducted to explore the prevalence of hyperuricemia and the common comorbidities, and the associated factors in Zhuang adults based on the Guangxi Ethnic Minority Population Cohort. Among 11,175 Zhuang adults aged 35-74 years, the age- and sex-standardized prevalence rate was 18.1% for hyperuricemia and 1.1% for gout. The standardized prevalence rate and awareness rate were 31.6% and 32.3%, respectively, for hypertension, and were 5.1% and 48.2%, respectively, for diabetes. High education level, history of coronary heart disease (CHD), hypertension, being a current drinker, high body mass index (BMI), central obesity, hyper-triglyceride (hyper-TG), hyper-total cholesterol (hyper-TC), hypo-high density lipoprotein cholesterol (hypo-HDL-C), and abnormal aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were risk factors, while smoking and diabetes were protective factors of hyperuricemia in males. Older age, being single/divorced, having a high education level, hypertension, drinking tea, high BMI, central obesity, hyper-TG, hyper-TC, hypo-HDL-C, and abnormal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were risk factors in females. The high prevalence of hyperuricemia but low prevalence of gout and common comorbidities in Zhuang adults may be due to a lag effect of lifestyle changes. Health education and health management should be strengthened to prevent the progression of comorbidities, considering the lag effect and low awareness rate.

Abstract
Hyperuricemia represents a great burden on global public health, and it is important to provide effective guidance at the level of dietary patterns. We evaluated the association between the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet and the risk of hyperuricemia in a large-scale, community-based cohort in East China. In total, 45,853 participants that did not have either hyperuricemia nor gout were included and assigned a DASH dietary score based on their baseline dietary intake. They were then divided into five quintiles (Q1−Q5) according to their score, followed by cross-linkages with local health information systems and in-person surveys. Cox proportional hazards models were adopted to calculate hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). During a median follow-up of 4.54 years, 2079 newly diagnosed hyperuricemia cases were documented. Compared to the DASH Q1 group, the risk of incident hyperuricemia for the Q5 group was significantly reduced by 16% (HR: 0.84; 95% CIs: 0.72−0.97) in the adjusted model. The associations of DASH diet with hyperuricemia appeared stronger (P for interaction <0.001) among participants with 3−4 cardiometabolic diseases at baseline, compared with their counterparts. Our results suggest that the DASH diet could be taken into account in the recognition of risk population and the prevention of hyperuricemia.

The visceral and liver fat are significantly associated with the prevalence of hyperuricemia among middle age and elderly people: A cross-sectional study in Chongqing, China. Front Nutr 2022; 9:961792. [PMID: 36313108 PMCID: PMC9613109 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2022.961792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2022] [Accepted: 09/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The prevalence of hyperuricemia (HUA) has been increasing in recent years. HUA is a crucial risk factor for gout and an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Identifying potentially modifiable factors of HUA is vital for preventing gout and even CVDs. This study aimed to explore the associations of fat distribution with HUA among middle-aged and elderly people in Chongqing, China. Materials and methods A cross-sectional study was conducted between July 2020 and September 2021. People who underwent quantitative computed tomography (QCT) scans were invited to participate in the study. A total of 3,683 individuals whose clinical characteristics and QCT-based fat distribution measurements included visceral fat area (VFA), subcutaneous fat area (SFA), and liver fat content (LFC) were well-recorded were included. HUA was defined as having a serum uric acid level greater than 420.0 μmol/L. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association between these adipose variables and HUA prevalence. Results The HUA prevalence was 25.6% (943/3,683), which was 39.6% (817/2,063) in men and 7.8% (126/1,620) in women. In the fully adjusted model (model 4), the comparison of the highest one with the lowest quartiles of adipose variables showed that the multivariable OR (95% confidence intervals) of HUA were 2.08 (1.36-3.16; P for trend = 0.001) for VFA, 0.89 (0.63-1.25; P for trend = 0.651) for SFA, and 1.83 (1.42-2.34; P for trend < 0.0001) for LFC. For VFA, the association was more evident in men than in women. Conclusion Higher VFA and LFC were significantly associated with the increased prevalence of HUA in middle-aged and elderly Chinese individuals. VFA and LFC may have a predictive effect on HUA. Controlling visceral and liver fat accumulation may be beneficial for middle-aged and older people. HUA can be prevented with specific effective healthy physical activity and balanced diet guidelines.

Front Public Health 2022; 10:1008598. [PMID: 36311630 PMCID: PMC9602928 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2022.1008598] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2022] [Accepted: 09/20/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The burden of gout is increasing worldwide, which places a heavy burden on society and healthcare systems. This study investigates the independent effects of age, period, and cohort on the gout prevalence from 1990 to 2019 in China, compares these effects by gender and then predicts the future burden of gout over the next decade. Methods The data were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study in 2019. Joinpoint regression model was employed to calculate the annual percentage change (APC) in gout prevalence, and the age-period-cohort analysis was utilized to estimate the independent effects of age, period, and cohort. ARIMA model was extended to predict the gout epidemic in 2020-2029. Results In 2019, there were 16.2 million cases of gout in China, with an age-standardized prevalence rate (ASPR) of 12.3‰ and 3.9‰ in men and women, respectively. During 1990-2019, the ASPR of gout was increasing significantly, with an average APC of 0.9%. The periods of 2014-2017 and 2001-2005 were "joinpoint" for men and women (APC: 6.3 and 5.6%). The age-period-cohort analyses revealed that the relative risk (RR) of developing gout increased with age, peaking at 70-74 years in men (RRage(70-74) = 162.9) and 75-79 years in women (RRage(75-79)=142.3). The period effect trended upward, with a more rapid increase in women (RRperiod(2019) = 2.31) than men (RRperiod(2019) = 2.23). The cohort effect generally peaked in the earlier cohort born in 1905-1909 for both sexes. Gout prevalence showed a strong positive correlation with the consumption of meat and aquatic products (rmeat = 0.966, raquaticproducts = 0.953). Within 2029, the ASPR of gout was projected to be 11.7‰ and 4.0‰ in men and women, respectively. Conclusion The prevalence of gout is increasing at an alarming rate in China; thus, it is necessary to provide targeted health education, regular screening, and accessible urate-lowering therapy healthcare to prevent and protect against gout in China, particularly in older women.

Hyperuricemia can induce acute and chronic kidney damage, but the pathological mechanism remains unclear. The potential role of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) α2 in hyperuricemia-induced renal injury was investigated in this study. Acute and chronic hyperuricemic nephropathy was induced by administering intraperitoneal injections of uric acid and oxonic acid to AMPK α2 knockout and wild-type mice. Changes in renal function, histopathology, inflammatory cell infiltration, renal interstitial fibrosis, and urate deposition were analyzed. In both acute and chronic hyperuricemic nephropathy mouse models, knockout of AMPK α2 significantly reduced serum creatinine levels and renal pathological changes. The tubular expression of kidney injury molecule-1 was also reduced in hyperuricemic nephropathy mice deficient in AMPK α2. In addition, knockout of AMPK α2 significantly suppressed the infiltration of renal macrophages and progression of renal interstitial fibrosis in mice with chronic hyperuricemic nephropathy. Knockout of AMPK α2 reduced renal urate crystal deposition, probably through increasing the expression of the uric acid transporter, multidrug resistance protein 4. In summary, AMPK α2 is involved in acute and chronic hyperuricemia-induced kidney injury and may be associated with increased urate crystal deposition in the kidney.

Abstract
Recently, hyperuricemia and its association with cardiovascular disease have been receiving more and more attention. The article talks about the role of uric acid in the body, the reasons for its increase and the impact of elevated uric acid levels on the cardiovascular system. The mechanisms of influence of hyperuricemia on the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases are presented. Medicinal and non-drug ways to reduce the level of uric acid in the blood are considered. From non-drug methods, attention is focused on the hypopurine diet, adequate drinking regimen and normalization of body weight. Separately, the effect on the level of uric acid of various drugs used in clinical practice is considered. In the light of current clinical guidelines, the issue of the need to prescribe drug therapy for asymptomatic hyperuricemia is discussed.

Abstract
With rapid economic growth and changes at all levels (including environmental, social, individual), China is facing a cardiovascular disease (CVD) crisis. In China, more than 40% of deaths are attributable to CVDs, and the number of CVD deaths has almost doubled in the past decades, in contrast to a decline in high-income countries. The increasing prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors underlies the rise of CVDs, and thus curbing the rising cardiometabolic pandemic is imperative. Few articles have addressed this topic and provided an updated review of the epidemiology of cardiometabolic risk factors in China.In this narrative review, we describe the temporal changes in the prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors in the past decades and their management in China, including both the well-recognized risk factors (general obesity, central obesity, diabetes, prediabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension) and the less recognized ones (hyperhomocysteinemia, hyperuricemia, and high C-reactive protein). We also summarize findings from landmark clinical trials regarding effective interventions and treatments for cardiometabolic risk factors. Finally, we propose strategies and approaches to tackle the rising pandemic of cardiometabolic risk factors in China. We hope that this review will raise awareness of cardiometabolic risk factors not only in Chinese population but also global visibility, which may help to prevent cardiovascular risk.

BMC Public Health 2022; 22:1230. [PMID: 35725435 PMCID: PMC9210654 DOI: 10.1186/s12889-022-13637-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2021] [Accepted: 06/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Background We aimed to explore the association between long-term drinking behavior change patterns with hyperuricemia (HUA) in Chinese community adults. Methods This study was designed as a community-based unbalanced cohort study involving 4127 adults aged between 18 ~ 75 years, derived from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) in 1997 and 2009. Drinking behavior change patterns were categorized into: never drinking, change to drinking, quitting drinking, and continued drinking. The alcoholism, type, and frequency of drinking were further categorized. We applied logistic regression models to explore the associations between drinking behavior change patterns and HUA. Results The average age of the participants was 54.6 (± 11.3) years and 47.8% were male. The overall prevalence of HUA was 15.5%. Drinking behavior change patterns of quitting (aOR 1.8; 95% CI 1.1 ~ 2.8) and continued drinking (aOR 2.0; 95% CI 1.3 ~ 3.0) were positively associated with high risks of HUA in the male participants. Early drinking behaviors such as liquor intake (aOR 1.8; 95% CI 1.4 ~ 2.5) and high consumption or frequency showed a positive correlation with HUA. Of note, heavy alcoholism (aOR 2.0; 95% CI 1.4 ~ 2.8) and daily drinking (aOR 2.5; 95% CI 1.7 ~ 3.6) had the highest risks of HUA. Furthermore, in the male participants, the association between early total alcohol intake and HUA was more pronounced at 18 standard drinks intake, with a stable increasing trend. In contrast, no statistical correlation was observed between the drinking behaviors and HUA in the female participants. Conclusions Drinking behavior change patterns of quitting and continued drinking are strongly associated with increased risks of HUA in males. The risks emanated from early drinking behaviors such as liquor drinking, high drinking frequency, and alcohol consumption. Although quitting drinking was associated with lower HUA risks compared to continued drinking, it still presented an undeniable risk for HUA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship between self-reported snoring and hyperuricaemia in a large-scale population in Chongqing, China. SETTING Face-to-face electronic questionnaire survey, physical examination and biological sample testing were conducted in 13 districts of Chongqing. Chongqing is a municipality in southwest China. PARTICIPANTS In this study, 23 308 Han ethnicity permanent residents aged 30-79 years were recruited. Individuals missing data were excluded, 22 389 subjects were included in final analysis. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES Serum uric acid (UA) was measured using an oxidase method. Hyperuricaemia was defined as serum UA >420 µmol/L in men and >360 µmol/L in women. Information about self-reported snoring was obtained by questionnaire survey. All participants were divided into 'no snoring' 'snoring occasionally' and 'snoring frequently'. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the relationship between self-reported snoring and hyperuricaemia. RESULTS The prevalence of hyperuricaemia was 14.43%, and snorers were more likely to have hyperuricaemia than non-snorer in different age and gender groups. For the total population, those who snore occasionally or frequently were more likely to be hyperuricaemia (OR 1.19, 95% CI 1.07 to 1.31; OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.19 to 1.47) compared with no snoring people. Stratification by age, gender and body mass index (BMI), we found that the positive association between snoring frequently and hyperuricaemia was insisted in different age, gender and high BMI groups, and the strength of association varied with different age, gender and BMI category. CONCLUSION Snoring frequency was positively associated with higher risk of hyperuricaemia. Snoring frequently may be a signal for hyperuricaemia, especially for women, those over 59 years of age, or those who are overweight or obese.

Abstract
Objective To determine the nationwide prevalence of hyperuricemia in China and evaluate its trends and associated risk factors. Methods Using a multi-stage, stratified, cluster-randomized sampling design, two cross-sectional surveys (representative of national and provincial information) were conducted in 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in mainland China, with 166, 861 Chinese adults in 2015–16 and 168, 351 in 2018–19. Serum uric acid (SUA) levels of all participants were measured after a >10-hour overnight fast. Hyperuricemia (HUA) was defined when SUA was >420 μmol/L. Prevalence estimates were weighted to represent the total population considering the complex sampling design. Multivariable logistic regression models was used to estimate factors associated with HUA. Results The overall hyperuricemia prevalence in the Chinese adult population was 11.1% (95% confidence interval 10.3% to 11.8%) in 2015–16 and 14.0% (13.1% to 14.8%) in 2018–19; an alarming rise was observed in the three years. Hyperuricemia was more common in men with 19.3% (17.9% to 20.7%) in 2015–16 and 24.4% (23.0% to 25.8%) in 2018–19, although the prevalence also escalated from 2.8% (2.5% to 3.0%) in 2015–16 to 3.6% (3.2% to 4.0%) in 2018–19 in women. The hyperuricemia risk factors include the urban culture, settlement in the East, Zhuang descent, high education, heavy or frequent beer drinking, high red meat intake, physical inactivity, high body mass index, central obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and low glomerular filtration rate. Conclusion The estimated hyperuricemia prevalence among Chinese adults was 14.0% in 2018-19; significant escalating trends were observed between 2015-16 and 2018-19.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are few studies on predictive biomarkers for hyperuricemia, and the predictive value of these biomarkers tends to be poor. Additionally, no reports have described the predictive value of retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) for hyperuricemia. PURPOSE This study was performed to evaluate the value of RBP4 for predicting the risk of hyperuricemia in a general population, determine whether RBP4 could be used alone or in combination with other factors to predict the risk of hyperuricemia in the general population, and establish an optimum predictive model. METHODS We conducted a population-based cross-sectional survey in 2018, involving a questionnaire, physical examination, and laboratory testing. We enrolled 2303 individuals by stratified random sampling, and 2075 were included in the data analysis after applying the eligibility criteria. RESULTS Serum RBP4 level had a highly significant association with hyperuricemia (P<0.001). After adjusting for potential confounders, logistic regression indicated that the risk of hyperuricemia was highest in the highest RBP4 quartile (odds ratio: 7.9, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.18-14.84, compared to the lowest quartile). The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) for RBP4 was 0.749 (95% CI: 0.725-0.774, P<0.001), which was higher than that for all the other predictors assessed. The optimum model for predicting hyperuricemia in the general population consisted of RBP4, sex (male), body mass index, serum creatinine, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, fasting blood glucose, insulin, and alcohol consumption. The AUC was 0.804 (95% CI: 0.782-0.826, P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS RBP4 is strongly associated with hyperuricemia, and its predictive value was higher than that of traditional predictors.

Abstract
Our objective was to analyze the correlation between serum uric acid (SUA) levels and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and explore the relationship between SUA and carotid atherosclerosis in different glucose metabolism patterns. A total of 614 patients were enrolled in this case-control study, including 406 in the normouricemia group and 208 in the hyperuricemia group. The two groups were each divided into three groups according to fasting blood glucose (FBG) level: normal, impaired fasting glucose (IFG), and diabetes mellitus (DM). CIMT and the CIMT thickening rate in the hyperuricemia group were significantly higher than those in the normouricemia group: 0.17 (0.11-0.24) cm vs. 0.12 (0.08-0.15) cm and 73.56% vs. 51.97% (p < 0.001). Pearson's correlation analysis showed that age, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure, FBG, triglyceride, SUA, creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen were positively correlated with CIMT, whereas high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and total cholesterol were negatively correlated with CIMT. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, SUA, FBG, and SBP were independent factors that affected CIMT. Furthermore, age and SBP were independent factors in the normouricemia group, and FBG was an independent factor that affected CIMT in the hyperuricemia group (p < 0.05). In the hyperuricemia group, CIMT in the DM group was significantly higher than that in the normal group [0.20 (0.14-0.25)cm vs. 0.15 (0.1-0.25); p < 0.05], and the CIMT thickening rate in the DM group was significantly higher than those in the IFG and normal groups (90.38% vs. 78.38%, 90.38% vs. 65.81%; p < 0.05). The ROC curve analysis showed that uric acid combined with age, SBP, and FBG had the highest area under the curve (AUC) for predicting CIMT thickening [0.855 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.804-0.906)], followed by uric acid combined with FBG [AUC: 0.767 (95% CI: 0.726-0.808)]. In conclusion, SUA was closely associated with an increase in CIMT in patients with specific FBG metabolic patterns and may be an independent risk factor for carotid atherosclerosis. SUA, especially in combination with other factors (such as age, SBP, FBG), may serve as a specific model to help predict the incidence of CIMT thickening.

Abstract
Introduction The current study sought to explore the effect of baseline serum uric acid (SUA) on the risk of all-cause mortality among Chinese adults aged 45~75 years and to determine its interaction relationship with diabetes. Methods The study was designed as a community-based cohort of 4467 adults aged between 45~75 years included in a 6-years follow-up period from 2009 to 2015 years by the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS). Baseline SUA levels were grouped into quartiles and its association on all-cause mortality was explored using multivariate Cox proportional hazards models. Stratified analyses were performed to explore the associations of SUA quartiles with all-cause mortality among diabetic and non-diabetic individuals. Results A total of 141 deaths (5.3 per 1000 person-years) were recorded During a follow-up of 26431 person-years. Out of the 141 deaths, 28 deaths (10.1 per 1000 person-years) were reported in the diabetic groups and 113 deaths (4.8 per 1000 person-years) were recorded in the non-diabetic group. An increased risk of all-cause mortality was observed for participants in the first and fourth quartiles compared with the second SUA quartile, (Q1 SUA: aHR=2.1, 95% CI 1.1~4.1; Q4 SUA: aHR=2.1, 95% CI 1.1~4.0). Stratification of participants by diabetes status showed a U-shaped association for non-diabetic individuals. Whereas, declined eGFR, rather than SUA, was an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality in diabetic individuals (aHR=0.7, 95% CI 0.6~1.0). Conclusion Our study proved that the prognostic role of SUA for predicting all-cause death might be regulated by diabetes. Both low and high SUA levels were associated with increased mortality, supporting a U-shaped association only in non-diabetic individuals. Whereas, renal dysfunction rather than SUA was an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality. Further studies should be conducted to determine the SUA levels at which intervention should be conducted and explore target follow-up strategies to prevent progression leading to poor prognosis.

Prediction model of random forest for the risk of hyperuricemia in a Chinese basic health checkup test. Biosci Rep 2021; 41:228123. [PMID: 33749777 PMCID: PMC8026814 DOI: 10.1042/bsr20203859] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2020] [Revised: 03/08/2021] [Accepted: 03/18/2021] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives: The present study aimed to develop a random forest (RF) based prediction model for hyperuricemia (HUA) and compare its performance with the conventional logistic regression (LR) model. Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 91,690 participants (14,032 with HUA, 77,658 without HUA). We constructed a RF-based prediction model in the training sets and evaluated it in the validation sets. Performance of the RF model was compared with the LR model by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results: The sensitivity and specificity of the RF models were 0.702 and 0.650 in males, 0.767 and 0.721 in females. The positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were 0.372 and 0.881 in males, 0.159 and 0.978 in females. AUC of the RF models was 0.739 (0.728–0.750) in males and 0.818 (0.799–0.837) in females. AUC of the LR models were 0.730 (0.718–0.741) for males and 0.815 (0.795–0.835) for females. The predictive power of RF was slightly higher than that of LR, but was not statistically significant in females (Delong tests, P=0.0015 for males, P=0.5415 for females). Conclusion: Compared with LR, the good performance in HUA status prediction and the tolerance of features associations or interactions showed great potential of RF in further application. A prospective cohort is necessary for HUA developing prediction. People with high risk factors should be encouraged to actively control to reduce the probability of developing HUA.
