Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2024; 15:1403858. [PMID: 39010899 PMCID: PMC11246899 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2024.1403858] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Hyperuricemia (HUA) is a glo\bal public health problem. The etiology of HUA is complex and efficient and accurate assessment metrics are still lacking when conducting large-scale epidemiologic screening. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, TyG-body mass index (BMI), TyG-waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) with the risk of HUA. Methods Based on data collected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) in the United States and the China Health and Aging Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) in China, a total of 14,286 U.S. adults and 4,620 Chinese adults were included in the analysis. The study examined the levels of TyG, TyG-BMI, TyG-WHtR, and TyG-WC. Multivariate logistic regression was utilized to investigate the relationships between these variables and hyperuricemia (HUA), separately. Additionally, the study used restricted cubic splines (RCS) to explore the linear associations of TyG, TyG-BMI, TyG-WHtR, TyG-WC, and HUA, separately. Results The NHANES results showed that TyG [Q2, 1.58(1.26, 1.98); Q3, 2.36 (1.94, 2.88); Q4, 3.21 (2.61, 3.94)], TyG-BMI [Q2, 2.14 (1.74, 2.65); Q3, 3.38 (2.74, 4.17); Q4, 6.70 (5.55, 8.02)], TyG-WHtR [Q2, 1.92 (1.56, 2.36); Q3, 3.14 (2.56, 3.85); Q4, 6.28 (5.12, 7.69)], TyG-WC [Q2, 2.32 (1.85, 2.90); Q3, 3.51 (2.84, 4.34); Q4, 7.32 (5.95, 9.02)] were identified as risk factors for hyperuricemia (HUA). Similarly, the CHARLS results, when fully adjusted for covariates, indicated that TyG [Q4, 2.36 (1.08, 5.15)], TyG-BMI [Q3, 2.60 (1.05, 6.41); Q4, 3.70 (1.64, 8.32)], TyG-WHtR (Q4, 2.84 (1.23, 6.55), TyG-WC [Q4, 2.85 (1.23, 6.5)] were also risk factors for HUA. The predictive ability of each indicator for the risk of developing HUA was stronger in women than in men. Furthermore, there was an observed nonlinear relationship between TyG, TyG-BMI, TyG-WHtR, TyG-WC, and HUA in both the NHANES and CHARLS datasets (P-nonlinearity < 0.05). Conclusion These findings suggest that TyG, TyG-BMI, TyG-WHtR and TyG-WC are associated with an increased risk of HUA. They are potential indicators for screening HUA status in the general population in China and the United States.

Abstract
Background Hyperuricemia, as a very prevalent chronic metabolic disease with increasing prevalence year by year, poses a significant burden on individual patients as well as on the global health care and disease burden, and there is growing evidence that it is associated with other underlying diseases such as hypertension and cardiovascular disease. The association between hyperuricemia and dietary inflammatory index (DII) scores was investigated in this study. Methods This study enrolled 13, 040 adult subjects (aged ≥ 20 years) from the US National Health and Nutrition Survey from 2003 to 2018. The inflammatory potential of the diet was assessed by the DII score, and logistic regression was performed to evaluate the relationship between the DII score and the development of hyperuricemia; subgroup analyses were used to discuss the influence of other factors on the relationship. Results Participants in the other quartiles had an increased risk of hyperuricemia compared to those in the lowest quartile of DII scores. Stratification analyses stratified by body mass index (BMI), sex, hypertension, drinking, diabetes, education level and albumin-creatinine-ratio (ACR) revealed that the DII score was also associated with the risk of hyperuricemia (P<0.05). There was an interaction in subgroup analysis stratified by sex, age, and hypertension (P for interaction <0.05). The results showed a linear-like relationship between DII and hyperuricemia, with a relatively low risk of developing hyperuricemia at lower DII scores and an increased risk of developing hyperuricemia as DII scores increased. Conclusions This study showed that the risk of hyperuricemia increased at slightly higher DII scores (i.e., with pro-inflammatory diets), but not significantly at lower levels (i.e., with anti-inflammatory diets). The contribution of the DII score to the development of hyperuricemia increased with higher scores. The relationship between inflammatory diets and hyperuricemia requires more research on inflammation, and this study alerts the public that pro-inflammatory diets may increase the risk of developing hyperuricemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Patients with gout are at risk for increased serum uric acid (SUA) levels and gout attacks in the short term after undergoing bariatric surgery, and the purpose of this study was to evaluate the benefits of short-term treatment with uric acid-lowering medication after bariatric surgery for the control of gout attacks and SUA levels in patients with gout. METHODS 71 patients who underwent SG from January 2020 to December 2022 were prospectively included. These patients were diagnosed with hyperuricemia before surgery and had a history of gout attacks. Patients were classified into a drug-treatment group (DTG, n = 32) and a non-drug-treatment group (NDTG, n = 39) according to whether they took uric acid-lowering medication after surgery. Changes in the number of gout attacks, body mass index (BMI), and SUA levels at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after bariatric surgery were measured in both groups. RESULTS In the DTG, 22 patients (68.8%) experienced an increase in SUA within 1 week, 3 patients (9.4%) had an acute attack of gout within the first month, and no patients had a gout attack thereafter. In the NDTG, 35 patients (89.7%) experienced an increase in SUA within 1 week, 7 patients (17.9%) had an acute gout attack within the first month, and 4 patients (10.3%) experienced gout attacks between month 1 and month 3 postoperatively. Both groups were free of gout attacks between the 3rd and 6th postoperative month and showed a significant decrease in SUA and BMI by the sixth month. CONCLUSION In patients with gout, continued use of uric acid-lowering medication after bariatric surgery is beneficial in reducing the number of gout attacks and the risk of rising SUA.

Association between exposure to a mixture of organochlorine pesticides and hyperuricemia in U.S. adults: A comparison of four statistical models. ECO-ENVIRONMENT & HEALTH 2024; 3:192-201. [PMID: 38646098 PMCID: PMC11031731 DOI: 10.1016/j.eehl.2024.02.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2023] [Revised: 01/21/2024] [Accepted: 02/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/23/2024]
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.

Prevalence and risk factors for hyperuricemia and hyperuricosuria in patients with hematologic malignancies. Front Med (Lausanne) 2024; 11:1343000. [PMID: 38873194 PMCID: PMC11169800 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2024.1343000] [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: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Hyperuricemia is a common complication of hematologic malignancies, and hyperuricosuria in this population has shown conflicting results. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of hyperuricemia and parameters associated with serum uric acid (SUA) and urine uric acid (UUA) in patients with lymphoma and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). Methods This cross-sectional study included adult patients with newly diagnosed lymphoma and MPN at the university-based hospital. Clinical characteristics were collected, and independent risk factors for hyperuricemia and hyperuricosuria were determined using multiple logistic regression. Results One hundred and sixty-five patients were included with a median age of 55 years (45.5-64) and 51.5% were males. There were 91 patients (55.2%) with lymphoma and 74 cases (44.8%) of MPN. Overall, hyperuricemia was prevalent in 43.6% with a median SUA of 6.3 mg/dl (4.6-8) and hyperuricosuria was detected in 39.4% with a median 24-h UUA of 545 mg (365.4-991). Hyperuricemia was observed in patients with lymphoma and MPN in 20.9% and 71.6%, respectively, and hyperuricosuria in 15.4% and 68.9%, respectively. In lymphoma patients, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <90 ml/min/1.73 m2 and serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) ≥ 250 U/L were associated with hyperuricemia with odds ratio (OR) 3.24, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.95-11.07, p = 0.006 and OR 2.07, 95%CI 1.62-6.97, p = 0.039), and only elevated serum LDH was related to hyperuricosuria (OR 2.37, 95%CI 1.56-14.29, p = 0.036). In MPN patients, hemoglobin levels <10 g/dl and serum LDH ≥ 640 mg/dl were independent risk factors of hyperuricosuria (OR 1.88, 95%CI 1.42-8.39, p = 0.045 and OR 6.21, 95%CI 1.49-25.74, p = 0.012). Conclusion Hyperuricemia in patients with hematologic malignancies was common, notably MPN, and parameters associated with hyperuricosuria were provided. In addition to the utilization of allopurinol in patients at high risk of tumor lysis syndrome, patients without hyperuricosuria may also be of significant interest.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite abundant evidence on the epidemiological risk factors of metabolic diseases related to hyperuricemia, there is still insufficient evidence regarding the nonlinear relationship between triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and hyperuricemia. Thus, the purpose of this research is to clarify the nonlinear connection between TyG and hyperuricemia. METHODS From 2011 to 2018, a cross-sectional study was carried out using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). This study had 8572 participants in all. TyG was computed as Ln [triglycerides (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2]. The outcome variable was hyperuricemia. The association between TyG and hyperuricemia was examined using weighted multiple logistic regression, subgroup analysis, generalized additive models, smooth fitting curves, and two-piecewise linear regression models. RESULTS In the regression model adjusting for all confounding variables, the OR (95% CI) for the association between TyG and hyperuricemia was 2.34 (1.70, 3.21). There is a nonlinear and reverse U-shaped association between TyG and hyperuricemia, with a inflection point of 9.69. The OR (95% CI) before the inflection point was 2.64 (2.12, 3.28), and after the inflection point was 0.32 (0.11, 0.98). The interaction in gender, BMI, hypertension, and diabetes analysis was statistically significant. CONCLUSION Additional prospective studies are required to corroborate the current findings, which indicate a strong positive connection between TyG and hyperuricemia among adults in the United States.

The Inverted U-Shaped Association between Serum Vitamin D and Serum Uric Acid Status in Children and Adolescents: A Large Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Analysis. Nutrients 2024; 16:1492. [PMID: 38794730 PMCID: PMC11124299 DOI: 10.3390/nu16101492] [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: 04/07/2024] [Revised: 05/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Serum vitamin D is associated with hyperuricemia. However, previous studies have been controversial, with limited focus on children and adolescents. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to examine the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between serum vitamin D and serum uric acid (SUA) levels in children and adolescents. METHODS The cross-sectional survey comprised 4777 participants aged 6 to 18 years, while the longitudinal survey involved 1641 participants aged 6 to 12 years, all derived from an ongoing cohort study in Shenzhen, China. Restricted cubic splines were used to visualize the dose-response relationship between vitamin D and SUA and the risk of higher SUA status. Two-segment generalized linear models (GLM) and logistic models were used to assess the association between vitamin D and SUA and higher SUA status, respectively. The longitudinal analysis used GLM. RESULTS We observed an inverted U-shaped relationship between vitamin D and SUA (p-overall < 0.0001, p-nonlinear = 0.0002), as well as the risk of higher SUA status (p-overall = 0.0054, p-nonlinear = 0.0015), with the vitamin D inflection point at 24.31 and 21.29 ng/mL, respectively. A 10 ng/mL increment in 25(OH)D3 levels, when below 20.92 ng/mL, was associated with a 68% rise in the risk of higher SUA status (OR: 1.68, 95%CI: 1.07-2.66). Conversely, when 25(OH)D3 levels were above or equal to 20.92 ng/mL, a 10 ng/mL increment was associated with a 45% reduction risk of higher SUA status (OR: 0.55, 95%CI: 0.36-0.84). Longitudinal analysis indicated that the annual change of SUA was from -4.80 (β, 95%CI: -10.74, 1.13) to -9.00 (β, 95%CI: -15.03, -2.99) and then to -6.77 (β, 95%CI: -12.83, -0.71, p for trend = 0.0212) μmol/L when increasing the quartile of vitamin D3. CONCLUSIONS An inverse U-shaped relationship was observed between vitamin D and SUA as well as the risk of higher SUA status. Sufficient vitamin D levels appear to play a preventative role against the age-related increase in SUA. Ensuring adequate vitamin D levels may be beneficial in improving uric acid metabolism.

Hong JY, Kim MK, Yang N. Mushroom consumption and cardiometabolic health outcomes in the general population: a systematic review. Nutr Res Pract 2024; 18:165-179. [PMID: 38584813 PMCID: PMC10995776 DOI: 10.4162/nrp.2024.18.2.165] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2023] [Revised: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Mushroom consumption, rich in diverse nutrients and bioactive compounds, is suggested as a potential significant contributor to preventing cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs). This systematic review aimed to explore the association between mushrooms and cardiometabolic health outcomes, utilizing data from prospective cohort studies and clinical trials focusing on the general population, with mushrooms themselves as a major exposure. SUBJECTS/METHODS All original articles, published in English until July 2023, were identified through searches on PubMed, Ovid-Embase, and google scholar. Of 1,328 studies, we finally selected 5 prospective cohort studies and 4 clinical trials. RESULTS Existing research is limited, typically consisting of 1 to 2 studies for each CMD and cardiometabolic condition. Examination of articles revealed suggestive associations in some cardiometabolic conditions including blood glucose (both fasting and postprandial), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol related indices, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and obesity indices (body weight, body mass index, and waist circumference). However, mushroom consumption showed no association with the mortality and morbidity of cardiovascular diseases, stroke, and type 2 diabetes, although there was a potentially beneficial connection with all cause-mortality, hyperuricemia, and metabolic syndrome. CONCLUSION Due to the scarcity of available studies, drawing definitive conclusions is premature. Further comprehensive investigations are needed to clarify the precise nature and extent of this relationship before making conclusive recommendations for the general population.

PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 126:155382. [PMID: 38382280 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2024.155382] [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: 10/06/2023] [Revised: 12/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/20/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycaemia. Chronic metabolic abnormalities and long-term hyperglycaemia may result in a wide range of acute and chronic consequences. Previous studies have demonstrated that artesunate(ART) has antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antiatherosclerotic, and other beneficial effects, but the specific regulatory mechanism is not completely clear. AIM This study investigated the effects of ART on metabolic disorders in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) model db/db mice and explored the underlying mechanisms involved. METHODS C57BL/KsJ-db/db mice were used to identify the targets and molecular mechanism of ART. Metabolomic methods were used to evaluate the efficacy of ART in improving T2DM-related metabolic disorders. Network pharmacology and transcriptomic sequencing were used to analyse the targets and pathways of ART in T2DM. Finally, molecular biology experiments were performed to verify the key targets and pathways selected by network pharmacology and transcriptomic analyses. RESULTS After a 7-week ART intervention (160 mg/kg), the glucose and lipid metabolism levels of the db/db mice improved. Additionally, the oxidative stress indices, namely, the MDA and SOD levels, significantly improved (p<0.01). Linoleic acid and glycerophospholipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, bile acid synthesis, and purine metabolism disorders in db/db mice were partially corrected after ART treatment. Network pharmacology analysis identified important targets of ART for the treatment of metabolic disorders in T2DM . These targets are involved in key signalling pathways, including the highest scores observed for the PI3K/Akt signalling pathway. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that ART could activate the MAPK signalling pathway and two key gene targets, HGK and GADD45. Immunoblotting revealed that ART increases p-PI3K, p-AKT, Glut2, and IRS1 protein expression and suppresses the phosphorylation of p38, ERK1/2, and JNK, returning HGK and GADD45 to their preartesunate levels. CONCLUSION Treatment of db/db mice with 160 mg/kg ART for 7 weeks significantly reduced fasting blood glucose and lipid levels. It also improved metabolic imbalances in amino acids, lipids, purines, and bile acids, thereby improving metabolic disorders. These effects are achieved by activating the PI3K/AKT pathway and inhibiting the MAPK pathway, thus demonstrating the efficacy of the drug.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We explored the trend in prevalence of hyperuricemia and metabolic syndrome in US populations and investigated associations between components of metabolic syndrome and hyperuricemia by race. METHODS We analyzed data from the four most recent National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) cycles (2011 to March 2020), comprising 10,175 participants. Hyperuricemia is defined as serum urate >7.0 mg/dL (men) or >5.7 mg/dL (women), following the NHANES-III guideline. The definition of metabolic syndrome follows the National Cholesterol Education Program's Adult Treatment Panel III guideline. We estimated the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and hyperuricemia in each cycle and performed subgroup analyses with logistic regression to investigate the patterns of associated components of metabolic syndrome with hyperuricemia. RESULTS In the most recent cycle (2017 to March 2020), the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 45.9% and that of hyperuricemia was 20.7%. Over the 2011 to 2020 period, a significant rise in metabolic syndrome prevalence was observed among Hispanic and Asian populations, and the prevalence of hyperuricemia has increased significantly only in the Hispanic population. After adjustment for confounding factors, patients with metabolic syndrome exhibited a higher hyperuricemia in women than in men. Elevated blood pressure was the strongest factor with hyperuricemia. The association was the weakest in the Asian population. Waist circumference was the only significant factor associated with hyperuricemia in the Asian population. CONCLUSION The prevalence of metabolic syndrome has an increasing pattern, but there was no specific decadal trend in prevalence of hyperuricemia. There is an ethnicity-specific association of metabolic syndrome and hyperuricemia, especially among Asians.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the association between Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) score and death among adults with hyperuricemia. METHODS We collected data from the 2001 to 2018 cohorts of the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey. Death information was obtained based on death certificate records from the National Death Index through December 31, 2019. The associations between DII score and all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and cancer death were investigated by using Cox proportional hazards regression models. RESULTS We enrolled 7,786 participants with hyperuricemia in this study. The DII score ranged from -4.42 to 4.61. Higher DII score was significantly associated with higher levels of body mass index, glycohemoglobin, glucose, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, and C-reactive protein (all P < 0.05). During 67,851 person-years of follow-up, deaths of 1,456 participants were identified, including 532 CVD deaths and 246 cancer deaths. After adjusting for potential variables, significant higher risk of all-cause (hazard ratio [HR] 1.18, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.03-1.36, P = 0.01) and CVD (HR 1.30, 95% CI 1.03-1.63, P = 0.02) death was observed for individuals with higher DII scores. Considering the DII score as a continuous variable, the risk of all-cause and CVD death increases 5% (HR 1.05, 95% CI 1.01-1.08) and 8% (HR 1.08, 95% CI 1.02-1.15) with each one-unit increment in DII score, respectively. Subgroup analysis indicated that the association between DII score and all-cause death among participants with hyperuricemia was more significant in males. CONCLUSION DII score is found to be positively associated with all-cause and CVD death of adults with hyperuricemia. Controlling the intake of proinflammatory food might be a potential strategy to reduce the mortality rate.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the reference values for serum uric acid (SUA) levels and their association with overweight/obese in children. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 8522 participants, including 6227 normal weight children, aged 2 to 18 years in China. Among normal children, SUA levels increased with age, showing significant sex differences in children over 10 years. Age-specific and sex-specific 95% reference intervals for SUA levels were established. Furthermore, we observed that the percentage of overweight/obesity significantly increased as SUA quartiles rose. Elevated SUA levels were associated with a high odds ratio (OR) for overweight/obesity (OR = 4.45, 95% confidence interval = 3.33, 5.93). We propose that the 97.5th percentile is a suitable value for defining elevated SUA levels, and there is a positive correlation between SUA levels and the presence of overweight or obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Energy-Adjusted Dietary Inflammatory Index (E-DII) is related to both body mass index (BMI) and hyperuricemia. However, the association among BMI, hyperuricemia and DII is yet to be fully elucidated. The purpose of this study is to explore the role of BMI in the relationship between E-DII and hyperuricemia in the American population. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning from 2007 to 2016, with a sample size of 10,571 participants. The study used a weighted logistic regression model and a generalized additive model (GAM) to explore the associations among BMI, hyperuricemia and E-DII. Furthermore, mediation analysis was utilized to illustrate the mediating relationships among these variables. RESULTS The results of the study indicated that a higher E-DII was related to an increased risk of hyperuricemia. The association between E-DII and hyperuricemia was partially mediated by BMI. CONCLUSIONS E-DII is associated with hyperuricemia. BMI mediates the relationship between E-DII and hyperuricemia among Americans, which provides crucial information for the prevention of hyperuricemia.

Abstract
Male fertility and metabolic disorders, including obesity and diabetes, are closely connected. Since hyperuricemia and metabolic syndrome are strongly related, male fertility and hyperuricemia may, to some degree, be associated. According to recent studies, hyperuricemia imposes various effects on sex hormones, semen quality, and male erectile dysfunction. Some researchers claim that uric acid worsens male semen and raises the risk of erectile dysfunction (ED), while others state that it safeguards both penile erection and male semen. Additionally, it has been shown that gout and metabolic syndrome also raise the risk of ED. To clarify this controversy, the influence and potential mechanisms of hyperuricemia on ED, semen quality, sex hormone levels, and the effects of hyperuricemia-related disorders on ED will be comprehensively summarized.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As meta-inflammation is a common feature for obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D), nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and atherosclerosis, we have proposed a new concept, metabolic inflammatory syndrome (MIS), to cluster such diseases. We aimed to characterize MIS and explore its association with coronary heart disease (CHD) among T2D inpatients in China. METHODS A total number of 8344 T2D participants were enrolled. Each component of MIS and metabolic syndrome (MS) was analyzed. Their association with the risk of CHD was assessed using a binary logistic analysis. RESULTS Among the T2D inpatients, the detection rate of MIS was much higher than that of MS (93.6 % vs. 53.2 %). Among all the components of MIS and MS, carotid atherosclerosis (71.9 %) was most commonly detected, which increased with aging in subgroups. Surprisingly, the most common combination of MIS was with all 4 components in T2D patients, with a constituent ratio of 30.9 %. According to the odds ratios (ORs), MIS was a better predictor of CHD than MS, especially after adjustment for age, sex, smoking, and alcohol consumption (adjusted OR for MIS: 3.083; for MS: 1.515). The presence of more components of MIS was associated with a higher detection rate of CHD (P < 0.001). Among all the components of MIS and MS, carotid atherosclerosis best predicted the risk of CHD (adjusted OR: 1.787). CONCLUSIONS MIS is an independent risk factor for CHD, with a bigger OR value than MS. Carotid atherosclerosis, with the highest detection rate, was the best individual predictor of CHD and thus a critical component of MIS. The concept of MIS represents the understanding of metabolic diseases from the perspective of holistic integrative medicine.

BMC Endocr Disord 2024; 24:17. [PMID: 38297286 PMCID: PMC10832246 DOI: 10.1186/s12902-024-01542-3] [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: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/02/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperuricemia has placed an immense burden on the global healthcare system. Studies have discovered a close correlation between serum uric acid (SUA) and insulin resistance (IR). The objective of this investigation is to examine the association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a simple surrogate for IR, and the presence of hyperuricemia. METHODS Between 2017 and 2021, an epidemiologic study was conducted on Royal Thai Army (RTA) personnel aged 35-60 years, involving a total of 231,286 participants. In the study, hyperuricemia was defined as a SUA level of 7 mg/dL and 6 mg/dL among male and female participants, respectively. Using linear regression analysis and logistic regression analysis, the association between the TyG index and SUA was determined. RESULTS A positive relationship was demonstrated between the TyG index and the SUA. Overall, SUA increased by 0.32 per unit of TyG index growth (95% CI: 0.31-0.32). In comparison with the first quartile, employees in the fourth TyG quartile had a greater likelihood of having hyperuricemia [adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 2.45, 95% CI: 2.38-2.52]. Effect modification by obesity on the association between the TyG index and SUA was observed (P-interaction < 0.001). Among individuals with obesity, compared with the first TyG index quartile, the AOR for hyperuricemia was 2.15 (95% CI: 2.06-2.25) and 2.14 (95% CI: 1.81-2.53) for the fourth quartile of the TyG index for males and females, respectively. However, for nonobese personnel, in comparison to the top quartile of the TyG index, the AOR for hyperuricemia was 2.73 (95% CI:2.61-2.84) and 5.03 (95% CI: 4.03-6.29) for the fourth quartile of the TyG index for males and females, respectively. Personnel in the fourth TyG index quartile revealed that the prevalence of hyperuricemia reached 44.2%. CONCLUSION A robust positive association between the TyG index and SUA was illustrated among active-duty RTA personnel. Obesity was identified as a modifier influencing this relationship. Furthermore, individuals in the fourth quarter of the TyG index, regardless of their obesity status, could be considered appropriate candidates for screening SUA levels.

Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes 2024; 17:131-142. [PMID: 38222031 PMCID: PMC10786728 DOI: 10.2147/dmso.s445916] [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] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease, which is usually associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. However, the incidence of MALFD in non-obese individuals without T2DM is increasing, and the pathogenesis is unclear. Serum uric acid to creatinine ratio (sUA/Cr) can reflect overall metabolic status. This study aims to observe the association between sUA/Cr and MAFLD in non-obese individuals without T2DM. Methods A total of 21,996 individuals were included in this study. The subjects were divided into four subgroups: non-obese patients without T2DM, obese patients without T2DM, non-obese patients with T2DM, and obese patients with T2DM. Logistic regression analyzed the correlation between sUA/Cr and MAFLD subgroups. Receiver operating characteristics analyzed the predictive value of sUA/Cr for MAFLD subgroups. The stratified analyses by sex and age were performed. Results Non-obese MAFLD individuals without T2DM had higher sUA/Cr levels than their counterparts. sUA/Cr was significantly correlated positively with MAFLD in non-obese patients. Similar results were observed in both males and females and in populations at all age stages (all p<0.01). sUA/Cr was capable of discriminating MAFLD in non-obese individuals without T2DM (AUC: 0.667), especially for patients over 60 years old (AUC: 0.704). Conclusion The sUA/Cr ratio was correlated with MAFLD in non-obese patients without T2DM. The predictive value of sUA/Cr for MAFLD was observed. Hence, the sUA/Cr ratio might be given more concern for the risk of MAFLD in non-obese individuals without T2DM.

Abstract
Controversy surrounds the role of serum uric acid and whether treatment intervention is favorable in retarding the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The association of serum uric acid levels and CKD patient mortality risk needs to be further determined by large sample cohort studies. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey participants with CKD from 1998 to 2017 were enrolled in the study. Multivariable Cox regression models were used to reveal the association of serum uric acid concentrations and CKD mortality risks. A total of 9891 CKD patients were enrolled in the study, and 3698 individuals died during the follow-up. Increasing serum uric acid levels are independently relevant to higher mortality risks of CKD patients (HR per SD increase). A restricted cubic spline curve showed a nonlinear association between serum uric acid and CKD mortality risks (p for nonlinearity = 0.046). CKD patients with higher levels of serum uric acid (≥ 5.900 mg/dL) show a significant increase in mortality risks (HR = 1.102, 95% CI 1.043-1.165). Sensitivity analysis demonstrated that the results were stable and robust. High serum uric acid levels (≥ 5.900 mg/dL) may be associated with increased mortality risks in CKD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a prevalent health condition in Taiwan that places individuals at higher risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and stroke. Therefore, the identification of risk factors associated with MetS is crucial. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of uric acid and MetS in a Taiwanese community with a middle-aged and elderly population. METHODS This cross-sectional study enrolled residents aged 50-90 years living in one community. All of the subjects received a standardized personal interview, including a structured questionnaire, anthropometric measurements, and blood samples were collected for laboratory testing. MetS was defined as excess waist circumference, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high serum triglycerides, and low serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Multiple logistic regression models were used to evaluate uric acid tertiles associated with MetS. RESULTS A total of 400 subjects were enrolled in the analysis. The overall prevalence of MetS was 35.8%. The prevalence of MetS increased gradually with increasing serum uric acid levels (p value < 0.001). A significant association between uric acid and cardiometabolic risk factors was confirmed, with a Pearson's correlation coefficient for waist circumference of 0.30 (p < 0.001), a coefficient for systolic blood pressure of 0.13 (p = 0.01), a coefficient for triglycerides of 0.33 (p < 0.001), and a coefficient for high-density lipoprotein of -0.30 (p < 0.001). The adjusted odds ratio (OR) of the high uric acid tertile level for MetS was 2.48 (95% CI = 1.31-4.71, p = 0.01). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for uric acid in predicting MetS was 0.621 (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of MetS in our study population is high. High serum uric acid levels are independently associated with the presence of MetS among the middle-aged and elderly Taiwanese population.

Abstract
Introduction The study findings investigated uric acid reference values and their association with a cluster of cardiometabolic risk factors among adolescents using the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). Methods A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using the KNHANES database from 2016 to 2018, involving a total of 2,462 participants aged between 10 and 18 years. Based on age- and sex-specific percentile curves for serum uric acid (SUA) levels from the KNHANES, we examined the correlation between cardiometabolic risk factors and serum uric acid levels. Results The percentile values of SUA varied with sex and age. In male subjects, SUA levels tended to increase from 10 to 14 years of age and plateaued after 14 years of age. Moreover, the overall uric acid level in females was found to be lower than that in males; the levels tended to increase at approximately 10 to 12 years old but were relatively consistent according to age. Mean uric acid levels increased according to obesity status in both males and females. However, correlation analysis revealed that SUA levels were associated with several metabolic risks even after adjusting for obesity. The detailed metabolic syndrome (MetS) components that were observed to be associated with an increase in uric acid levels were different between males and females, but overall, high uric acid levels increased MetS risk. Additionally, a significant increase in MetS-related odds ratio (OR) for components, including waist circumference (WC), triglyceride (TG) levels, and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), was observed. However, differences between sexes were apparent, with a more pronounced increase in OR based on SUA levels in girls. Discussion SUA levels were closely associated with MetS and its components, even in nonobese subjects. Therefore, high SUA levels in children and young adolescents should be closely monitored to prevent MetS.

Abstract
Hyperuricemia (HUA) has become a significant medical concern due to its complications and links to metabolic syndrome (MetS) and cardiovascular disease (CVD), which result in increased mortality. The pathogenic processes associated with unhealthy behaviors, MetS, and HUA can be cooperative and potentially synergistic in the activation of risk factors. Recent research has shown sex-based differences in the relationship between HUA and its associated risk factors. This study aimed to investigate these differences, particularly in the context of MetS and CVD risk factors and unhealthy lifestyles. We also aimed to evaluate the joint effects of these factors based on sex. We conducted a cross-sectional study using nationally representative survey data from the Korean National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey 2016-2018. We performed multivariable logistic regression analysis, calculating adjusted odds ratios (ORs) with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We also conducted subgroup analyses based on sex and the presence of MetS with or without unhealthy lifestyle factors (tobacco use, alcohol intake). We found sex-based differences in the relationships between HUA and MetS, CVD risk factors, and lifestyle behaviors. Our major finding was a significant association between MetS and HUA in both men and women, regardless of alcohol consumption and smoking status, and this association was stronger in women. We also observed a synergistic effect of MetS and lifestyle factors on the risk of HUA, particularly in women, in whom the risk of HUA increased up to four times compared to the reference group. A sex-based clinical strategy for HUA is necessary to reduce related complications and their socio-economic burden.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between the age at onset of metabolic syndrome and cancer risk remains unknown. This study explored the association between age at metabolic syndrome onset and the risk of overall and site-specific cancer incidence. METHODS This study included 31,688 participants with new-onset metabolic syndrome and 31,688 participants matched according to sex, age (±1 y), and examination year among the 179,328 participants who underwent Kailuan health examinations from 2006 to 2017 in Tangshan, China. Weighted Cox regression was used to calculate the hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals of new-onset metabolic syndrome for overall and site-specific cancer incidence across age groups. Population-attributable risk proportions were used to estimate the number of cases that could be prevented by eliminating the risk factors from the population. RESULTS During an average follow-up period of 10.22 y, we identified 2,710 cases of cancer and 4,218 deaths that occurred before the diagnosis of cancer. With an increase in metabolic syndrome onset age, the hazards of overall cancer incidence were gradually attenuated. The average hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) of overall cancer were 1.94 (1.25-2.99) for metabolic syndrome onset age <45 year old, 1.41 (1.15-1.71) for age 45-54 years old, 1.38 (1.11-1.73) for age 55-64 years old, and 1.07 (0.89-1.28) for age ≥65 years old, respectively (p for interaction = 0.005). Similar results were obtained for colorectal, liver, and breast cancers in the site-specific analysis. CONCLUSIONS New-onset metabolic syndrome was associated with a higher risk of overall cancer and incidence of several types of cancer, and the associations were stronger with a younger age of onset.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are at a significantly increased risk of hyperuricaemia and development of gout, and those with hyperuricaemia have been found to respond poorly to PsA treatment and have more peripheral and destructive joint damage. We present a comprehensive post hoc analysis using pooled data from the FUTURE 2-5 studies and the MAXIMISE study to further evaluate the impact of hyperuricaemia on clinical presentation/disease severity and response to secukinumab in patients with PsA. METHODS Patients were stratified into two groups based on baseline serum uric acid (SUA) level (threshold of 360 µmol/L). A sensitivity analysis was also performed based on SUA thresholds of 300 µmol/L and 420 µmol/L. Demographics, clinical, radiological characteristics and comorbidities data were collected. RESULTS At baseline, patients with hyperuricaemia were mostly male, reported a higher prevalence of hypertension, with more clinical dactylitis, more psoriasis and more severe skin disease compared with patients with normouricaemia. A similar proportion of patients in the normouricaemic and hyperuricaemic cohorts achieved American College of Rheumatology responses, resolution of enthesitis and dactylitis, inhibition of structural damage progression and improvement in health-related quality of life across all secukinumab doses at week 52. CONCLUSION Patients with PsA and hyperuricaemia have different clinical characteristics from patients with PsA and normouricaemia. Identification of these patients at an early stage may facilitate a personalised treatment approach and improved management of comorbidities. Furthermore, secukinumab provided a rapid and sustained response across all manifestations of PsA up to week 52, irrespective of baseline uricaemia status.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Gout, as the most prevalent form of inflammatory arthritis, necessitates the use of animal models to investigate the molecular mechanisms involved in its development. Therefore, our objective was to develop a novel chronic mouse model of gout that more closely mimics the progression of gout in humans. METHODS A novel chronic mouse model of gout was established by a simple method, which does not require high technical proficiency, predominantly involves daily intraperitoneal injections of potassium oxonate for approximately 4 months, combined with a high fat-diet and injections of acetic acid into the hind paws to facilitate the formation of monosodium urate (MSU). Arthritis scores and paw oedema were assessed, behavioural tests were conducted, and histopathological and imaging evaluations of the arthritic paw joints were performed. RESULTS After 4 months of induction, mice in the model group exhibited noticeable increases in arthritis severity, joint and cartilage damage, as well as bone erosion. Gomori's methenamine silver stain revealed the presence of MSU crystal deposition or tophi in the paw joints or ankle joints of up to 37.9% of the model mice (11 out of 29 mice). Moreover, treatment with benzbromarone effectively prevented the further development of gout or tophi formation in model mice. CONCLUSIONS Our model more accurately replicates the pathological features of gouty arthritis compared with gout induced by MSU crystal injections. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for further investigations into the pathogenesis of gout and also serves as a valuable platform for screening potential antigout agents.

Sci Rep 2023; 13:18867. [PMID: 37914834 PMCID: PMC10620223 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-46348-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2023] [Accepted: 10/31/2023] [Indexed: 11/03/2023] Open
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) combined with hyperuricemia remitted 1 year after CRC surgery. CRC patients combined with hyperuricemia who underwent radical surgery were included from a single clinical center from Jan 2016 to Dec 2021. Baseline characteristics was compared between the remission group and the non-remission group. Multivariate logistic regression was used to find the possible predictive factors of hyperuricemia remission. A total of 91 patients were included for data analysis, retrospectively. There were 34 (37.4%) patients in the remission group and 57 (62.6%) patients in the non-remission group. The mean preoperative weight and body mass index (BMI) were 61.2 ± 10.7 (kg) and 24.1 ± 3.3 (kg/m2). 21 (23.1%) patients had a history of drinking. We found that the weight and BMI were not significantly different before and 1 year after CRC surgery (P > 0.05). In contrast, uric acid values were significantly decreased (P < 0.01). Meanwhile, the outcomes showed there were no significant differences in the baseline characteristics between the remission and non-remission groups (P > 0.05). According to multivariate logistic regression, we found that the history of drinking was a predictive factor of hyperuricemia remission (OR = 0.046, 95% CI 0.005-0.475, P = 0.010). CRC patients with hyperuricemia had a 37.4% remission from hyperuricemia 1 year after CRC surgery. Tumor location, tumor stage, and tumor size did not predict the remission of hyperuricemia. Notably, the history of drinking was a predictive factor of hyperuricemia remission.

Diurnal Variations in Serum Uric Acid, Xanthine, and Xanthine Oxidoreductase Activity in Male Patients with Coronary Artery Disease. Nutrients 2023; 15:4480. [PMID: 37892555 PMCID: PMC10610187 DOI: 10.3390/nu15204480] [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: 09/22/2023] [Revised: 10/01/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Hyperuricemia is influenced by diet and can cause gout. Whether it is a potential risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains controversial, and the mechanism is unclear. Similar to CVDs, gout attacks occur more frequently in the morning and at night. A possible reason for this is the diurnal variation in uric acid (UA), However, scientific data regarding this variation in patients with CVD are not available. Thus, we aimed to investigate diurnal variations in serum levels of UA and plasma levels of xanthine, hypoxanthine, and xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) activity, which were measured at 18:00, 6:00, and 12:00 in male patients with coronary artery disease. Thirty eligible patients participated in the study. UA and xanthine levels significantly increased from 18:00 to 6:00 but significantly decreased from 6:00 to 12:00. By contrast, XOR activity significantly increased both from 18:00 to 6:00 and 6:00 to 12:00. Furthermore, the rates of increase in UA and xanthine levels from night to morning were significantly and positively correlated. In conclusion, UA and xanthine showed similar diurnal variations, whereas XOR activity showed different diurnal variations. The morning UA surge could be due to UA production. The mechanism involved XOR activity, but other factors were also considered.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of hyperuricaemia (HUA) and investigate its risk factors in the general adult population of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region (NHAR), China. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Survey of cardiovascular disorders and their related risk factors in NHAR, China. PARTICIPANTS 10 803 permanent residents aged 18 and older. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES HUA was defined as serum uric acid levels >420 µmol/L for men and >360 µmol/L for women. RESULTS The overall prevalence of HUA in NHAR adults was 19.81% (95% CI 19.06 to 20.57), with prevalence values of 24.91% (95% CI 23.70 to 26.14) in men and 15.58% (95% CI 14.66 to 16.53, p<0.001) in women. The prevalence of HUA was higher in urban residents than in rural residents (23.26% vs 17.02%, p<0.001). HUA prevalence was relatively high in individuals younger than 30 years for both men and women, then decreased with age, and began to increase at the age of 40 for women and 60 for men. Higher level of education, being overweight or obese, alcohol consumption, hypertension, diabetes, higher triglycerides, higher total cholesterol and poorer renal function were associated with an increased risk of HUA. CONCLUSIONS HUA prevalence is high among adults in NHAR. Young adults under 30 years and women over 50 years were identified as populations at high risk for HUA. Further attention ought to be placed to promoting healthy diets and implementing early interventions to manage dyslipidaemia, obesity and blood glucose level, as well as advocating for moderation of alcohol consumption.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gout is the most common inflammatory arthritis and closely related to metabolic syndrome, leading to excruciating pain and the decline in quality of patients' life. However, the pathogenesis of gout is still unclear, and novel biomarkers are demanded for the early prediction and diagnosis of gout. OBJECTIVE This study aimed at profiling the dysregulated metabolic pathways in asymptomatic hyperuricemia (AHU) and gout and elucidating the associations between AHU, gout and metabolomics, which may aid in performing gout screening. METHODS A total of 300 participants, including 114 healthy controls, 92 patients with AHU, and 94 patients with gout, were analyzed by using a combination of dried blood spot (DBS) sampling and mass spectrometry (MS) technology. Multiple algorithms were applied to characterize altered metabolic profiles in AHU and gout. The mainly altered metabolites were identified by random forest analysis. RESULTS There were significant differences in AHU and gout compared with control group. The altered metabolites were involved in oxidation of fatty acids, carnitine synthesis, urea cycle, and amino acid metabolism in AHU and gout. Random forest classification of 16 metabolites yielded 3 important features to distinguish gout from AHU. CONCLUSIONS Distinct metabolomic signatures were observed in AHU and gout. The selected metabolites may have the potential to improve the early detection of gout.

Abstract
This article examined the current research on hyperuricemia (HUA) exacerbating diabetic kidney damage and novel anti-diabetic medications for treating these people. Hyperuricemia and type 2 diabetes (T2D), both of which are frequent metabolic disorders, are closely connected. Recent studies have shown that hyperuricemia can increase kidney injury in T2D patients by aggravating insulin resistance, by activating the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), and by stimulating inflammatory factors, and the diversity, distribution, and metabolites of intestinal flora. Considering this, there are just a few of the research examining the effect of hyperuricemia on diabetic kidney injury via intestinal flora. Through the gut-kidney axis, intestinal flora primarily influences renal function. The primary mechanism is that variations in diversity, distribution, and metabolites of intestinal flora led to alterations in metabolites (such as short-chain fatty acids, Indoxyl sulfate and p-cresol sulfate, Trimethylamine N-oxide TMAO). This article reviewed the research and investigates the association between hyperuricemia and T2D, as well as the influence of hyperuricemia on diabetic kidney injury via intestinal flora. In addition, the current novel antidiabetic drugs are discussed, and their characteristics and mechanisms of action are reviewed. These novel antidiabetic drugs include SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists, DDP-4 inhibitors, glucokinase (GK) enzyme activators (GK agonists), and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA). Recent studies suggest that these new anti-diabetic medications may have a therapeutic effect on hyperuricemia-induced kidney impairment in diabetes patients via various mechanisms. Some of these medications may reduce blood uric acid levels, while others may improve kidney function by attenuating the overstimulation of RAAS or by decreasing insulin resistance and inflammation in the kidneys. These novel antidiabetic medicines may have a multifaceted approach to treating hyperuricemia-induced kidney impairment in diabetic patients; nevertheless, additional study is required to establish their efficacy and comprehend their specific mechanisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are risk factors for hyperuricemia. However, which anthropometric indices can better predict incident hyperuricemia in patients with T2DM remains inconsistent. This study aimed to examine the associations between hyperuricemia and different anthropometric indices in middle-aged and older male patients with T2DM. METHODS In this retrospective study, a total of 1447 middle-aged (45-65 years, n = 791) and older (≥ 65 years, n = 656) male patients with T2DM were collected from December 2015 to January 2020 at Shanghai Xinhua Hospital. Hyperuricemia was defined as a serum uric acid level above 7.0 mg/dL. Weight, height, waist circumference (WC) and hip circumference (HC) were measured by trained nurses at visit. RESULTS The median uric acid level of subjects was 5.6 (interquartile ranges: 4.7-6.7) mg/dl, and 279 (19.3%) were hyperuricemia, with 146 (18.5%) in the middle-aged group, and 133 (20.3%) in the older group. After adjusting for age, duration of T2DM, fasting plasma glucose and insulin, homeostasis model assessment-β, aspartate aminotransferase, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and estimated glomerular filtration rate, body mass index (BMI), WC, HC, and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) were associated with a higher risk of hyperuricemia in both middle-aged and older group (P < 0.05). After further adjusting for BMI and WC, HC still showed a positive relationship with the risk of hyperuricemia (Odds Ratio = 1.51, 95% confidence intervals: 1.06-2.14) in the middle-aged group, but such relationship was not found in the older group. Moreover, according to receiver operating characteristic analysis, the optimal cutoff value was 101.3 cm of HC for hyperuricemia screening in the middle-aged male patients with T2DM. CONCLUSION In middle-aged male patients with T2DM, more attention should be paid to HC with the cutoff value of 101.3 cm in clinical practice for early recognition of individuals with a high risk of hyperuricemia for targeted guidance on disease prevention, such as community screening.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Hyperinsulinemia and hyperuricemia are known to increase the risk of mortality due to certain complications, such as Type 2 Diabetes and cardiovascular disease. However, despite their common comorbidities, their combined effect has not been evaluated. The study's aim was to evaluate the combine effect of hyperinsulinemia and hyperuricemia on all-cause mortality. METHODS AND RESULTS NHANES datasets (cycles 2003-2018) were examined. Differences between groups were evaluated using Rao-Scott Chi-square and General Linear Model for categorical and continuous data, respectively. Hazard Ratios (HR) were calculated using Cox regression with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). There was significant difference (p < 0.05) in the mortality rate between the control group (2.3 ± 0.2%), the hyperinsulinemia only group (3.1 ± 0.3%), the hyperuricemia only group (4.0 ± 0.8%), and both conditions (5.1 ± 0.8%). Individually, when compared to the control group, there was a significant increase in mortality risk for hyperinsulinemia (HR: 1.50, 95%CI: 1.12-2.01, p = 0.007) and hyperuricemia (HR: 1.80, 95%CI:1.18-2.75, p = 0.006). However, when both conditions were present, there appeared an additive effect in the mortality risk (HR: 2.32, 95%CI: 1.66-3.25, p < 0.001). When stratified by BMI class, only normal weight participants presented with a significant risk (HR: 7.00, 95%CI: 2.50-20.30, p < 0.001). Also, when stratified by age, only participants older than 40 years presented a risk (HR: 2.22, 95%CI: 1.56-3.16, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Alone, hyperuricemia and hyperinsulinemia significantly increased the mortality rate; however, the combined presence of both pathologies was associated with a significantly augmented mortality rate. Normal weight participant or that were >40 years old had a greater risk for mortality.

Hao SH, Ye LY, Yang C. The landscape of pathophysiology guided therapeutic strategies for gout treatment. Expert Opin Pharmacother 2023; 24:1993-2003. [PMID: 38037803 DOI: 10.1080/14656566.2023.2291073] [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: 10/12/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Gout is a common autoinflammatory disease caused by hyperuricemia with acute and/or chronic inflammation as well as tissue damage. Currently, urate-lowering therapy (ULT) and anti-inflammatory therapy are used as first-line strategies for gout treatment. However, traditional drugs for gout treatment exhibit some unexpected side effects and are not suitable for certain patients due to their comorbidity with other chronic disease. AREAS COVERED In this review, we described the pathophysiology of hyperuricemia and monosodium urate (MSU) crystal induced inflammatory response during gout development in depth and comprehensively summarized the advances in the investigation of promising ULT drugs as well as anti-inflammatory drugs that might be safer and more effective for gout treatment. EXPERT OPINION New drugs that are developed based on these molecular mechanisms exhibited great efficacy on reduction of disease burden both in vitro and in vivo, implying their potential for clinical application. Moreover, hyperthermia also showed regulation effect on MSU crystals formation and the signaling pathways involved in inflammation.

[PMID: 37602364 PMCID: PMC10438452 DOI: 10.2147/rmhp.s423794] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2023] [Accepted: 07/28/2023] [Indexed: 08/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose In this study, the aim was to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of hyperuricemia (HUA) in the urban health checkup population in Urumqi, Xinjiang, and thus provide clues for the prevention of HUA. Methods People who attended medical examinations from May 2021 to June 2022 at a hospital in Urumqi, Xinjiang, were selected for evaluation based on their general information, physical examination results, and laboratory test results. The chi-square test was used to determine whether there was a difference in the prevalence of HUA among participants with different characteristics. Using logistic regression analyses, risk factors for HUA were identified. Results There were 8722 participants diagnosed with HUA, with an overall prevalence of 26.96%. The prevalence in men was 37.72%, significantly higher than in women (13.29%). Participants were characterized by a multiethnic composition, with Han (28.61%), Hui (27.88%) and Manchu (38.46%) being the three ethnicities with the highest prevalence. According to logistic regression analyses, HUA was associated with age, ethnicity, residence, marital status, body mass index (BMI), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), fasting blood glucose (FPG), triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, abdominal obesity, and dyslipidemia differently in males and females. Conclusion The prevalence of HUA was high in the urban health checkup population in Urumqi, Xinjiang, particularly among men and youth. The early intervention for HUA should be enhanced to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and other related conditions.

Abstract
The molecular mechanisms underlying uric acid (UA)-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis have not yet been elucidated. Herein, we investigated underlying mechanisms of UA in the development of mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis. We analyzed blood samples of individuals with normal UA levels and patients with hyperuricemia. Results showed that patients with hyperuricemia had significantly elevated levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels, which may indicate liver or mitochondrial damage in patients with hyperuricemia. Subsequently, lipidomic analysis of mouse liver tissue mitochondria and human liver L02 cell mitochondria was performed. Compared with control group levels, high UA increased mitochondrial phosphatidylserine (PS) and decreased mitochondrial phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) levels, whereas the expression of mitochondrial phosphatidylserine decarboxylase (PISD) that mediates PS and PE conversion was downregulated. High UA levels also inhibited signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) phosphorylation as well as mitochondrial respiration, while inducing apoptosis both in vivo and in vitro. Treatment with allopurinol, overexpression of PISD, and lyso-PE (LPE) administration significantly attenuated the three above-described effects in vitro. In conclusion, UA may induce mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis through mitochondrial PISD downregulation. This study provides a new perspective on liver damage caused by hyperuricemia.

Abstract
It is assumed that the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in patients with gout is influenced by both generally accepted risk factors and factors related to gout. The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of various risk factors for T2DM in patients with gout. A total of 444 patients (49 women, 395 men) ≥18 years old with gout and without DM were included. The duration of observation was 5.66 [2.69; 7.64] years. To identify the factors associated with the risk of developing T2DM, multivariate logistic regression was used, which included sex; T2DM in relatives; insufficient physical activity; unbalanced diet; age ≥ 45 years; ≥4 attacks per year; presence of tophi; BMI ≥30 kg/m2; allopurinol, febuxostat, glucocorticoids, diuretics, metformin, colchicine; GFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2; serum uric acid level (sUA) ≥ 420 µmol/L and ≥ 480 µmol/L. T2DM developed in 108 (24.3%) patients. According to the multivariate model, the presence of ≥4 attacks of arthritis per year increased the risk of T2DM (OR = 5.23; 95% CI: 2.98-9.19; p = 0.0001); presence of tophi (OR = 2.61; 95% CI: 1.50-4.54; p = 0.001); sUA ≥ 480 µmol/L (OR = 2.26; 95% CI: 1.02-5.00; p = 0.144); diuretics (OR = 2.35; 95% CI: 1.19-4.64; p = 0.014). Febuxostat (OR = 0.31; 95% CI: 0.11-0.84; p = 0.022) and metformin (OR = 0.49; 95% CI: 0.21-1.16; p = 0.107) reduced the risk of developing T2DM. Risk of T2DM in patients with gout is associated with high incidence of arthritis attacks, MK ≥ 480 μmol/L, hypertension, diuretic use, and febuxostat and metformin reduces risk.

Abstract
Dietary interventions modify gut microbiota and clinical outcomes. Weight reduction and improved glucose and lipid homeostasis were observed after adopting an Okinawan-based Nordic diet (O-BN) in individuals with type 2 diabetes. The aim of the present study was to explore changes in metabolomics and gut microbiota during O-BN and correlate changes with clinical outcomes. A total of 30 patients (17 women), aged 57.5 ± 8.2 years, diabetes duration 10.4 ± 7.6 years, 90% over-weight, were included. Participants were provided an O-BN for 12 weeks. Before and after intervention, and 16 weeks afterwards, anthropometry and clinical data were estimated and questionnaires were collected, as well as samples of blood and stool. Plasma metabolomics were determined by gas- (GC-MS) or liquid- (LC-MS) chromatography-based mass spectrometry and fecal microbiota determination was based on 16S rRNA amplicons from regions V1-V2. During the intervention, weight (6.8%), waist circumference (6.1%), and levels of glucose, HbA1c, insulin, triglycerides, and cholesterol were decreased. Of 602 metabolites, 323 were changed for any or both periods; 199 (101 lipids) metabolites were decreased while 58 (43 lipids) metabolites were increased during the intervention. Changes in glucose homeostasis were linked to changes in, e.g., 1,5-anhydroglucitol, thyroxine, and chiro-inositol. Changes of microbe beta diversity correlated positively with food components and negatively with IL-18 (p = 0.045). Abundance differences at phylum and genus levels were found. Abundances of Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, and Verrucomicrobia correlated with anthropometry, HbA1c, lipids, inflammation, and food. Changes in metabolites and microbiota were reversed after the intervention. The O-BN-induced changes in metabolomics and gut microbiota correspond to clinical outcomes of reduced weight and inflammation and improved glucose and lipid metabolism.

Abstract
Xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) is an enzyme found in various organisms. It converts hypoxanthine to xanthine and urate, which are crucial steps in purine elimination in humans. Elevated uric acid levels can lead to conditions like gout and hyperuricemia. Therefore, there is significant interest in developing drugs that target XOR for treating these conditions and other diseases. Oxipurinol, an analogue of xanthine, is a well-known inhibitor of XOR. Crystallographic studies have revealed that oxipurinol directly binds to the molybdenum cofactor (MoCo) in XOR. However, the precise details of the inhibition mechanism are still unclear, which would be valuable for designing more effective drugs with similar inhibitory functions. In this study, molecular dynamics and quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics calculations are employed to investigate the inhibition mechanism of XOR by oxipurinol. The study examines the structural and dynamic effects of oxipurinol on the pre-catalytic structure of the metabolite-bound system. Our results provide insights on the reaction mechanism catalyzed by the MoCo center in the active site, which aligns well with experimental findings. Furthermore, the results provide insights into the residues surrounding the active site and propose an alternative mechanism for developing alternative covalent inhibitors.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the effect of simple subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) combined with SCH on insulin resistance. Design and methods A total of 622 people with newly diagnosed T2DM were selected as the study subjects, and 621 normoglycemic people were selected as control subjects. According to the diagnostic criteria of thyroid diseases, the subjects were divided into a normal thyroid function group and a subclinical hypothyroidism group. Both groups received a physical examination, and blood samples were collected. The measurement indexes included FPG, FINS, OGTT2hPG, OGTT2hINS, HbA1c, TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C, TSH, FT3 and FT4. HOMA-IR, HOMA-β, and TFQI (thyroid feedback quantile index) were calculated. Results There was no significant difference in age or sex distribution between the T2DM group and the normoglycemic group (P>0.05). The prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in the T2DM group was significantly higher than that in the normoglycemic group (16.39% vs. 11.27%, P<0.05), and among the different types of thyroid dysfunction, the prevalence of SCH was the highest at 14.95% (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in BMI, waist-hip ratio, blood lipid profile, HOMA-β, and HOMA-IR values between the T2DM with subclinical hypothyroidism group (T2DM+SCH+ group) and the normal thyroid function group (T2DM+SCH- group) (P>0.05). The BMI, waist-hip ratio and HOMA-IR values of the normoglycemic group with subclinical hypothyroidism (T2DM-SCH+ group) were significantly higher than those of the normoglycemic group with normal thyroid function (T2DM-SCH- group) (P<0.05), and there were no significant differences between the T2DM+SCH- and T2DM+SCH+ groups (P>0.05). HOMA-β values were significantly higher in the T2DM-SCH+ group than in the T2DM-SCH-, T2DM+SCH- and T2DM+SCH+ groups (P<0.05). As the TFQI value increased, the body weight, waist-hip ratio, diastolic blood pressure, FPG, OGTT2hPG and HbA1c values gradually increased in the T2DM group and normoglycemic group (P<0.05). HDL-C, FINS, OGTT2hINS and HOMA-β values gradually decreased (P<0.05). Conclusion Subclinical hypothyroidism only increases insulin resistance in normoglycemic people. As the sensitivity of the central thyroid decreases, the risk of developing diabetes increases.

Abstract
Green tea polyphenols have numerous functions including antioxidation and modulation of various cellular proteins and are thus beneficial against metabolic diseases including obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular and non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases, and their comorbidities. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is the most abundant polyphenol in green tea and is attributed to antioxidant and free radical scavenging activities, and the likelihood of targeting multiple metabolic pathways. It has been shown to exhibit anti-obesity, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-arteriosclerotic, and weight-reducing effects in humans. Worldwide, the incidences of metabolic diseases have been escalating across all age groups in modern society. Therefore, EGCG is being increasingly investigated to address the problems. This review presents the current updates on the effects of EGCG on metabolic diseases, and highlights evidence related to its safety. Collectively, this review brings more evidence for therapeutic application and further studies on EGCG and its derivatives to alleviate metabolic diseases and non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous research has demonstrated flavonoid intake was closely related to hyperuricemia. The purpose of this study was to examine whether flavonoid intake was associated with serum uric acid and hyperuricemia in U.S. adults. METHODS The study sample consisted of 8,760 participants enrolled in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2007 to 2010. Flavonoid consumption was measured using a two-day recall questionnaire on dietary intake. Hyperuricemia was defined based on the serum uric acid levels, determined as ≥ 7 mg/dL for males and ≥ 6 mg/dL for females. The study utilized multivariate linear regression to determine the correlation between flavonoid consumption and serum uric acid levels. Additionally, analyses involving multivariate logistic regression and restricted cubic splines (RCS) were conducted to evaluate the potential link between flavonoid consumption and hyperuricemia. All analyses were adjusted for possible confounding variables. RESULTS The study revealed a negative correlation between serum uric acid levels and elevated levels of anthocyanidins and flavanones, with significant p-trends of < 0.001 and 0.02 respectively. The multivariate analysis showed that anthocyanidins and flavanones intake had a significant negative association with the risk of hyperuricemia, with p-trend value being < 0.001 and 0.01, respectively. Flavan-3-ols, flavonols, and all flavonoids exhibited a non-linear association with the incidence of hyperuricemia, with significant p-nonlinear values of < 0.001, 0.04, and 0.01 respectively. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated that individuals who follow a diet rich in anthocyanins and flavanones had significantly lower serum uric acid levels and a lower incidence of hyperuricemia.

[PMID: 37305378 PMCID: PMC10252946 DOI: 10.2147/clep.s403314] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective Recent epidemiological evidence shows that there is an association between serum uric acid (SUA) levels and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The purpose of this meta-analysis is to summarize all available evidence and assess the associations between SUA levels and NAFLD. Methods Using two databases, Web of Science and PubMed, observational studies were applied from the establishment of the databases to June 2022. We used a random effect model to construct the pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) to appraise the association between SUA levels and NAFLD. The Begg's test was conducted to appraise publication bias. Results A total of 50 studies were included, involving 2,079,710 participants (719,013 NAFLD patients). The prevalence and incidence rates (95% CIs) of NAFLD in the patients with hyperuricemia were 65% (57-73%) and 31% (20-41%), respectively. Compared to participants with lower levels of SUA, the pooled OR (95% CI) of NAFLD in those with higher levels of SUA was 1.88 (95% CI: 1.76-2.00). In the subgroup analyses, we found that SUA levels were positively associated with NAFLD in all subgroups, according to study design, study quality, sample size, sex, comparison, age, or country. Conclusion This meta-analysis shows that increased SUA levels are positively associated with NAFLD. The results suggested that reducing SUA levels can be a potential strategy for the prevention of NAFLD. Registration Number PROSPERO-CRD42022358431.

Chloroquine inhibits NLRP3 inflammasomes activation and alleviates renal fibrosis in mouse model of hyperuricemic nephropathy with aggravation by a high-fat-diet. Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 120:110353. [PMID: 37276828 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2023.110353] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2023] [Revised: 05/03/2023] [Accepted: 05/13/2023] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
Numerous epidemiological studies have demonstrated that hyperuricemia (HUA) is a risk factor for renal diseases and renal fibrosis. Dietary patterns can influence serum urate levels and hyperuricemic nephropathy (HN). NLRP3 inflammasomes play a crucial role in various inflammatory responses and contribute to HN progression. Chloroquine (CQ) is an anti-inflammatory and disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) utilized in treating autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. In this study, we examined the effects and underlying mechanisms of CQ in a high-fat-diet (HFD) exacerbated mouse model of HN. C57BL/6 mice were randomized into either a control group or an HN group (induced by adenine/potassium oxonate treatment), followed by a normal diet or HFD, with or without CQ treatment. Our findings revealed that the HN group exhibited elevated serum levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine compared to the control group. Additionally, the HN + HFD group displayed increased serum levels of uric acid, BUN, and creatinine relative to the control + HFD group. Moreover, the HFD exacerbated renal uric acid crystal deposition and fibrosis in HN mice compared to a normal diet. CQ ameliorated renal dysfunction, as evidenced by reduced serum creatinine levels, renal fibrosis, and renal tubular injury scores, and significantly decreased NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1, and IL-1β levels in HN mice. These findings suggest that CQ inhibits the activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes and may serve as a potential therapeutic strategy for HN treatment.

Abstract
Background The study aims to explore the relationship between obesity and serum uric acid in adolescents by combining body mass index and waist height ratio. Methods 475 adolescents in our study were classified as normal weight without central obesity (NW), normal weight but central obesity (NWCO), overweight or obesity without central obesity (OB) and overweight or obesity with central obesity (OBCO). Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for hyperuricemia were calculated using a logistic regression model. The dose-response association between obesity indicators and serum uric acid were explored by restricted cubic spline model. Results The highest serum uric acid level and the OR for hyperuricemia were found in the OBCO group, regardless of sex. After controlling for waist height ratio, the risk of hyperuricemia increased with increasing body mass index in boys and girls. The restricted cubic spline model showed that boys had higher ORs for hyperuricemia at the 25th and 75th percentiles of body mass index than for waist height ratio and girls had a higher OR for hyperuricemia than waist height ratio at the 25th percentile of body mass index. Conclusions Hyperuricemia in adolescence was not only associated with the overweight or obesity in BMI, but with the combination of overweight or obesity in BMI and central obesity in WHtR. However, in boys and girls, the increased risk of hyperuricemia associated with elevated body mass index was significantly better than that of waist height ratio.

Abstract
Objective Non-invasive disease indicators are currently limited and need further research due to the increased non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) prevalence worldwide. The serum uric acid-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (UHR) has been recognized as a novel inflammatory and metabolic marker. Herein, we explored the correlation between UHR and the risk of NAFLD in-depth. Methods A total of 3,766 participants were included in our survey, and the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2017-2018 cycle provided the cross-sectional study population. Weighted multivariable logistic regression and multivariate linear regression analyses were performed to assess the association between the UHR and the odds of NAFLD and liver steatosis and fibrosis severity, respectively. Moreover, we explored the non-linear relationship between the UHR and NAFLD by the generalized additive model. Results NAFLD probabilities were statistically demonstrated to be positively correlated with the UHR (OR = 1.331 per SD increase, 95% CI: 1.100, 1.611). The positive connection of the UHR with NAFLD risk persisted significantly in female subjects but not in male subjects in subgroup analyses stratified by gender. The non-linear relationship analysis demonstrated that a UHR between ~20 and 30% suggested a saturation effect of NAFLD risk. Furthermore, a dramatically positive correlation was found between the UHR and hepatic steatosis severity but not fibrosis. Finally, the receiver operating characteristic analysis suggested that UHR had a better predictive value for NAFLD than either serum uric acid (sUA) or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) alone [UHR (area under curve): 0.6910; 95% CI: 0.6737-0.7083; P < 0.0001]. Conclusion Our investigation revealed that the elevated UHR level was independently related to an increased NAFLD risk and the severity of liver steatosis in American individuals. The correlation differed according to sex. This non-invasive indicator may enhance the capacity to predict the onset of NAFLD and may uncover alternative therapeutic interventional targets.

Abstract
The prevalence of hyperuricemia in Taiwan is high, and hyperuricemia has been associated with a risk of developing several diseases. Although the traditional risk factors for hyperuricemia are well known, the relationship between heavy metals and hyperuricemia is still undefined. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between hyperuricemia and heavy metals. A total of 2447 participants (977 males and 1470 females) residing in southern Taiwan were enrolled, and levels of the following heavy metals were measured: lead in blood, and nickel, chromium, manganese, arsenic (As), copper, and cadmium in urine. Hyperuricemia was defined as a serum uric acid level greater than 7.0 mg/dL (416.5 μmol/L) in men and 6.0 mg/dL (357 μmol/L) in women. The participants were divided into two groups: those without hyperuricemia (n = 1821; 74.4%) and those with hyperuricemia (n = 626; 25.6%). Multivariate analysis showed that only high urine As (log per 1 μg/g creatinine; odds ratio, 1.965; 95% confidence interval, 1.449 to 2.664; p < 0.001), young age, male sex, high body mass index, high hemoglobin, high triglycerides, and low estimated glomerular filtration rate were significantly associated with hyperuricemia. In addition, the interactions between Pb × Cd (p = 0.010), Ni × Cu (p = 0.002), and Cr × Cd (p = 0.001) on hyperuricemia were statistically significant. Increasing levels of Pb and Cr yielded an increased prevalence of hyperuricemia, and the effect was progressively greater for increasing Cd. Moreover, increasing levels of Ni yielded an increased prevalence of hyperuricemia, and the effect was progressively greater for increasing Cu. In conclusion, our results show that high urine As is associated with hyperuricemia, and some interactions of heavy metals on hyperuricemia are noted. We also found that young age, male sex, high BMI, high hemoglobin, high triglycerides, and low eGFR were significantly associated with hyperuricemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) has been associated with gout and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, due to insufficient clinical understanding of gout-related CTS and reliance on the diagnostic importance of elevated serum uric acid levels, such cases are prone to missed diagnosis, misdiagnosis, and delayed treatment. In addition, the effect of T2DM on gout - induced carpal tunnel syndrome has not been reported.
CASE SUMMARY Herein, we present an unusual case of CTS and motor dysfunction caused by miliary tophaceous gout and T2DM. The patient presented to the hand and foot clinic with paresthesia of the fingers of both hands, especially at night. The patient was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a month ago. Ultrasonography revealed bilateral transverse carpal ligament thickening with median nerve compression during hospitalization. The patient was successfully treated with carpal tunnel decompression and tendon release. The postoperative pathological examination revealed typical gout nodules. This case suggests that the presence of T2DM could accelerate tophi formation and worsen CTS symptoms, although no definitive proof in this regard has been described previously.
CONCLUSION Tophi formation may most likely cause the co-occurrence of CTS and flexor dysfunction in gout and incipient diabetes patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Uric acid, a formerly-known antioxidant that has recently been linked to numerous inflammatory diseases as a pro-inflammatory and -oxidative mediator in pathological conditions. It is imperative to reassess the association between periodontitis and uric acid locally and systematically. The aim of this systematic review was to systemically evaluate the association between periodontitis and the uric acid (UA) levels in blood, saliva and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). METHODS Relevant clinical studies up to January 28, 2023 were identified and retrieved from electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE and Web of Science, with periodontitis, uric acid, hyperuricemia and gout as the keywords. The weighted (WMD) or standardized mean difference (SMD) was calculated using fixed- or random-effect models. Methodological heterogeneity was assessed. RESULTS Sixteen eligible observational studies and one RCT were enrolled, which included 1354 patients with periodontitis and 989 controls. Three sample types for UA detection were involved, including blood (n = 8), saliva (n = 9) and GCF (n = 1). Meta-analysis demonstrated an enhanced plasma UA concentration (WMD = 1.00 mg/dL, 95% CI 0.63 to 1.37, P < 0.001) but a decreased salivary UA level (SMD = -0.95, 95% CI -1.23 to -0.68, P < 0.001) in periodontitis versus control. Statistical heterogeneity among the plasma- and saliva-tested studies were moderate (I2 = 58.3%, P = 0.066) and low (I2 = 33.8%, P = 0.196), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of the enrolled studies, it seems that there is an association between periodontitis and increased blood UA and decreased salivary UA. (Registration no.

Abstract
Background The significant association between serum uric acid (SUA) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is well documented. In this report, we tested the hypothesis that SUA might improve the widely studied fatty liver index (FLI) to predict NAFLD. Methods A cross-sectional study was performed in a community of Nanjing, China. The population data on sociodemographics, physical examinations, and biochemical tests were collected from July to September 2018. The associations of SUA and FLI with NAFLD were analyzed using linear correlation, multiple linear regressions, binary logistic analyses, and area under receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUROC). Results A total of 3,499 people were included in this study, of which 36.9% had NAFLD. The prevalence of NAFLD increased with the increase of SUA levels (all P <.05). Logistic regression analyses revealed that SUA was significantly associated with an increased risk of NAFLD (all P <.001). The NAFLD predictive value after combining SUA with FLI was superior to FLI, especially in females (AUROCSUA + FLI = 0.911 vs. AUROCFLI = 0.903, P <.05). The reclassification of NAFLD also significantly improved, based on net reclassification improvement (0.053, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.022-0.085, P <.001) and integrated discrimination improvement (0.096, 95% CI: 0.090-0.102, P <.001). A regression formula of this combined algorithm was proposed as: The novel formula = 0.032* waist circumference + 0.303* body mass index + 1.301* natural logarithm of triglyceride + 0.478* natural logarithm of glutamyl transpeptidase + 0.002* SUA- 18.823. At the cutoff value of 13.3, the sensitivity and specificity of this model were 89.2% and 78.4%, respectively. Conclusions SUA level was positively associated with NAFLD prevalence. A new formula combining SUA with FLI may serve as a better indicator to predict NAFLD compared to FLI, especially in females.

Abstract
Phthalate metabolites have been detected from urine in most of the US population and have become a public health problem. However, the association between phthalate metabolites and hyperuricemia has been scarcely studied so far. We aimed to evaluate if phthalate metabolites were associated with hyperuricemia in US adults. A total of 8816 participants of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2005 to 2018 were included in our study. We used multivariable logistic regression models and restricted cubic spline (RCS) models to explore the association between urinary phthalate metabolites and hyperuricemia. Then, stratified analyses were conducted by sex and age. The prevalence of hyperuricemia in the study sample was 20.35%. Compared to the lowest quantile, the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for hyperuricemia were all statistically significant in following phthalate metabolites: 1.34 (1.13-1.58) for the second quartile in Mono-isobutyl phthalate (MiBP), 1.21 (1.01-1.46) for the highest quartile in Mono-(carboxyoctyl) phthalate (MCOP), 0.66 (0.56-0.76) for the second quartile in Mono-(2-ethyl)-hexyl phthalate (MEHP), 1.22 (1.05-1.43) for quartile 2 in Benzyl butyl phthalate (ΣBBP), and 1.43 (1.22-1.66) for the third quartile in high molecular-weight phthalate (ΣHigh MWP), respectively. Our results indicate that several urinary phthalate metabolites are positively associated with the odds of hyperuricemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between hyperuricemia and metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) remains undetermined. This study aimed to examine the association of serum uric acid (SUA) levels with prevalence and long-term mortality of MAFLD in a nationally representative sample of US adults. METHODS This analysis included 11,177 participants from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III, 1988-1994) with matched mortality data until 2019. We used logistic regression models to estimate the adjusted odd ratios (ORs) for factors associated with risk of MAFLD, and applied restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression to assess the non-linear associations of SUA levels with all-cause and cause-specific mortality of MAFLD. We also used Cox proportional hazards regression analysis to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) for the mortality. RESULTS A higher SUA level contributed to a significant increased risk of MAFLD. every 1 mg/dL increment of SUA level was related to 17% (95% CI 9-24%) increased risk of MAFLD. Furthermore, a U-shaped association for males and a J-shaped association for females was discovered between SUA levels and all-cause mortality in participants with MAFLD. Specifically, among males, when SUA > 6.7 mg/dL, the higher SUA showed increased risk of cardio-cerebrovascular disease (CVD) mortality [HR (95% CI): 1.29 (1.05-1.58)]. As for females, only when SUA > 5.5 mg/dL, it showed a significantly positive association with risk of CVD and cancer mortality [HR (95% CI) 1.62 (1.24-2.13) and 1.95 (1.41-2.68)]. CONCLUSIONS Elevated SUA level is significantly associated with an increased risk of MAFLD. Besides, SUA level is also a predictor of long-term mortality of MAFLD.
