Abstract
PURPOSE Incisional hernia (IH) is one of the most common complications after abdominal surgeries and may bring great suffering to patients. This study aims to evaluate the global trends in IH research from 2003 to 2023 and visualize the frontiers using bibliometric analysis. METHODS The literature search was conducted on the Web of Science for IH studies published from 2003 to 2023 and sorted by citation frequency. The top 100 most-cited articles were analyzed by the annual publication number, prolific countries and institutions, influential author and journal, and the number of citations through descriptive statistics and visualization. RESULTS The top paper was cited 1075 times and the median number of citations was 146. All studies were published between 2003 and 2019 and the most prolific year was 2003 with 14 articles. Jeekel J and Rosen M were regarded as the most productive authors with ten articles each and acquired 2738 and 2391 citations, respectively. The top three institutions with the most productive articles were Erasmus Mc, Carolinas Med Ctr, and Univ Utah, while the top three countries were the United States, Netherlands and Germany. The most frequent keyword was "incisional hernia" with 55 occurrences, followed by "mesh repair", "randomized controlled trial", and "polypropylene". CONCLUSION The 100 most-cited papers related to IH were published predominantly by USA and European countries, with randomized controlled trial (RCT) and observational study designs, addressing topics related to risk factors, complications, mesh repair, and mesh components.

Abstract
PURPOSE Obesity and a high body mass index (BMI) are considered as risk factors for abdominal wall hernia (AWH). However, anthropometric measures of body fat distribution (BFD) seem to be better indicators in the hernia field. This Mendelian randomization analysis aimed to generate more robust evidence for the impact of waist circumstance (WC), body, trunk, arm, and leg fat percentages (BFP, TFP, AFP, LFP) on AWH. METHODS A univariable MR design was employed and the summary statistics allowing for assessment were obtained from the genome-wide association studies (GWASs). An inverse variance weighted (IVW) method was applied as the primary analysis, and the odds ratio value was used to evaluate the causal relationship between BFD and AWH. RESULTS None of the MR-Egger regression intercepts deviated from null, indicating no evidence of horizontal pleiotropy (p > 0.05). The Cochran Q test showed heterogeneity between the genetic IVs for WC (p = 0.005; p = 0.005), TFP (p < 0.001; p < 0.001), AFP-L (p = 0.016; p = 0.015), LFP-R (p = 0.012; p = 0.009), and LFP-L (p < 0.001; p < 0.001). Taking the IVW random-effects model as gold standard, each standard deviation increment in genetically determined WC, BFP, TFP, AFP-R, AFP-L, LFP-R, and LFP-L raised the risk of AWH by 70.9%, 70.7%, 56.5%, 69.7%, 78.3%, 87.7%, and 72.5%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This study proves the causal relationship between AWH and BFD, attracting more attention from BMI to BFD. It provides evidence-based medical evidence that healthy figure management can prevent AWH.

Abstract
PURPOSE Incisional hernia (IH) is a common secondary ventral hernia after abdominal incisions and there is still little reliable evidence to predict and prevent IH. This study aimed to estimate risk factors of its incidence, especially concentrating on blood results. METHODS 96 patients received midline laparotomy for gastrointestinal benign diseases and suffered from IH were enrolled in the IH group. A control group of 192 patients were randomly selected from patients underwent midline laparotomy for gastrointestinal benign diseases without IH. RESULTS Patients in the IH group exhibited higher age (P < 0.001), BMI (P < 0.001), hernia history (P = 0.001) and laparotomy history (P < 0.001). Rate of coronary heart disease (P = 0.046), hypertension (P < 0.001), diabetes (P = 0.008), incisional infection (P = 0.004) and emergency surgery (P = 0.041) were also higher in the IH group. Patients with IH had lower levels of Hb (P = 0.002), TP (P = 0.013), ALB (P < 0.001), A/G (P = 0.019), PA (P < 0.001), HDL-C (P = 0.008) and ApoA1 (P = 0.005). Meanwhile, patients in the control group bore lower levels of LDH (P = 0.008), GLU (P = 0.007), BUN (P = 0.048), UA (P = 0.021), TG (P = 0.011), TG/HDL-C (P = 0.002), TC/HDL-C (P = 0.013), ApoB/ApoA1 (P = 0.001) and Lp(a) (P = 0.001). A multivariate logistic regression revealed that high BMI, laparotomy history, incisional infection, decreased PA, elevated levels of UA, Lp(a) and ApoB/ApoA1 were independent risk factors of IH. CONCLUSION This is the first study to reveal the relationship between IH and serum biochemical levels, and give a prediction through the nomograph model. These results will help surgeons identify high-risk patients, and take measures to prevent IH during the perioperative period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) amyloid-β42 peptide (Aβ42) and phosphorylated tau (p-tau) and blood p-tau are valuable for differential diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) from cognitively normal (CN) there is a lack of validated biomarkers for mild cognitive impairment (MCI). OBJECTIVE This study sought to determine how plasma and CSF protein markers compared in the characterization of MCI and AD status. METHODS This cohort study included Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) participants who had baseline levels of 75 proteins measured commonly in plasma and CSF (257 total, 46 CN, 143 MCI, and 68 AD). Logistic regression, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and Random Forest (RF) methods were used to identify the protein candidates for the disease classification. RESULTS We observed that six plasma proteins panel (APOE, AMBP, C3, IL16, IGFBP2, APOD) outperformed the seven CSF proteins panel (VEGFA, HGF, PRL, FABP3, FGF4, CD40, RETN) as well as AD markers (CSF p-tau and Aβ42) to distinguish the MCI from AD [area under the curve (AUC) = 0.75 (plasma proteins), AUC = 0.60 (CSF proteins) and AUC = 0.56 (CSF p-tau and Aβ42)]. Also, these six plasma proteins performed better than the CSF proteins and were in line with CSF p-tau and Aβ42 in differentiating CN versus MCI subjects [AUC = 0.89 (plasma proteins), AUC = 0.85 (CSF proteins) and AUC = 0.89 (CSF p-tau and Aβ42)]. These results were adjusted for age, sex, education, and APOEϵ4 genotype. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that the combination of 6 plasma proteins can serve as an effective marker for differentiating MCI from AD and CN.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Radiotherapy induced anti-tumor effects depend on both direct tumor cell death caused by radiation and immune activation mediated by cGAS-STING pathway. Metformin (MTF), which could augment the tumoricidal efficiency of radiation, is indicated to be a radiosensitizer by basic research. However, several large prospective clinical trials proved otherwise. In present study, we intend to interrogate the effects of MTF on radiotherapy-induced anti-tumor immune responses and try to explain the inconsistent outcomings of radiotherapy combined with MTF in basic research and clinical practice. MATERIALS/METHODS To explore the effects of MTF on radiotherapy induced anti-tumor effects, tumor models were established using E0771, B16F10 and LLC cell lines in both immunocompetent and immunodeficient mice. To investigate the composition and function of immune cells in tumor microenvironments, single-cell transcriptome sequencing of CD45+ cells sorted from tumor microenvironments were carried out, and flow cytometry and multiple immunofluorescence analysis were then performed for validation. To reveal the possible mechanisms, tumor cells were subjected to radiotherapy in the presence or absence of MTF in vitro, and RNA-sequencing was then employed followed by subsequent validation with western blotting, real-time qPCR and flow cytometry. RESULTS We found that systematic administration of MTF could significantly inhibit radiotherapy-induced anti-tumor effects in immunocompetent mouse models. Single cell sequencing of CD45+ cells sorted from tumor microenvironments and further validation showed that administration of MTF dramatically attenuated the infiltration and cytotoxic capacity of CD8+ T cells after radiotherapy. cGAS-STING pathway in tumor cells was required for maximum efficiency of radiotherapy, while MTF curbed cGAS-STING pathway after radiotherapy in a dose-dependent pattern by enhancing autophagy and reducing cytoplasmic mitochondrial DNA accumulation, which contributed to compromised anti-tumor effects. CONCLUSION Our findings indicated that MTF could antagonize radiotherapy-mediated anti-tumor effects by inhibiting the activation of cGAS-STING pathway and subsequent immune responses, which may partially explain the unsatisfied outcomes of radiotherapy combined with MTF in clinical practices. Since the anti-tumor effects of radiotherapy rely not only on the tumor-killing efficiency of radiation but also on systematic immune responses, our findings suggest that cautions are needed when MTF is administrated with radiotherapy in clinical practice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The precise apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4-specific molecular pathway(s) for Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk are unclear. METHODS Plasma protein modules/cascades were analyzed using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) in the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative study. Multivariable regression analyses were used to examine the associations among protein modules, AD diagnoses, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) phosphorylated tau (p-tau), and brain glucose metabolism, stratified by APOE genotype. RESULTS The Green Module was associated with AD diagnosis in APOE ε4 homozygotes. Three proteins from this module, C-reactive protein (CRP), complement C3, and complement factor H (CFH), had dose-dependent associations with CSF p-tau and cognitive impairment only in APOE ε4 homozygotes. The link among these three proteins and glucose hypometabolism was observed in brain regions of the default mode network (DMN) in APOE ε4 homozygotes. A Framingham Heart Study validation study supported the findings for AD. DISCUSSION The study identifies the APOE ε4-specific CRP-C3-CFH inflammation pathway for AD, suggesting potential drug targets for the disease.Highlights: Identification of an APOE ε4 specific molecular pathway involving blood CRP, C3, and CFH for the risk of AD.CRP, C3, and CFH had dose-dependent associations with CSF p-Tau and brain glucose hypometabolism as well as with cognitive impairment only in APOE ε4 homozygotes.Targeting CRP, C3, and CFH may be protective and therapeutic for AD onset in APOE ε4 carriers.

Abstract
Background Previous study shows that monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), which is implicated in the peripheral proinflammatory cascade and blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, modulates the genetic risks of AD in established AD loci. Methods In this study, we hypothesized that blood MCP-1 impacts the AD risk of genetic variants beyond known AD loci. We thus performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using the logistic regression via generalized estimating equations (GEE) and the Cox proportional-hazards models to examine the interactive effects between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and blood MCP-1 level on AD in three cohorts: the Framingham Heart Study (FHS), Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) and Religious Orders Study/Memory and Aging Project (ROSMAP). Results We identified SNPs in two genes, neuron navigator 3 (NAV3, also named Unc-53 Homolog 3, rs696468) (p < 7.55×10- 9) and Unc-5 Netrin Receptor C (UNC5C rs72659964) (p < 1.07×10- 8) that showed an association between increasing levels of blood MCP-1 and AD. Elevating blood MCP-1 concentrations increased AD risk and AD pathology in genotypes of NAV3 (rs696468-CC) and UNC5C (rs72659964-AT + TT), but did not influence the other counterpart genotypes of these variants. Conclusions NAV3 and UNC5C are homologs and may increase AD risk through dysregulating the functions of neurite outgrowth and guidance. Overall, the association of risk alleles of NAV3 and UNC5C with AD is enhanced by peripheral MCP-1 level, suggesting that lowering the level of blood MCP-1 may reduce the risk of developing AD for people with these genotypes.

Abstract
Several studies have shown that an abnormal vascular-immunity link could increase Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk; however, the mechanism is unclear. CD31, also named platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM), is a surface membrane protein of both endothelial and immune cells and plays important roles in the interaction between the vascular and immune systems. In this review, we focus on research regarding CD31 biological actions in the pathological process that may contribute to AD based on the following rationales. First, endothelial, leukocyte and soluble forms of CD31 play multi-roles in regulating transendothelial migration, increasing blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability and resulting in neuroinflammation. Second, CD31 expressed by endothelial and immune cells dynamically modulates numbers of signaling pathways, including Src family kinases, selected G proteins, and β-catenin which in turn affect cell-matrix and cell-cell attachment, activation, permeability, survival, and ultimately neuronal cell injury. In endothelia and immune cells, these diverse CD31-mediated pathways act as a critical regulator in the immunity-endothelia-brain axis, thereby mediating AD pathogenesis in ApoE4 carriers, which is the major genetic risk factor for AD. This evidence suggests a novel mechanism and potential drug target for CD31 in the background of genetic vulnerabilities and peripheral inflammation for AD development and progression.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION C-Reactive protein (CRP) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) are both implicated in the peripheral proinflammatory cascade and blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption. Since the blood CRP level increases Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk depending on the apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype, we hypothesized that the blood MCP-1 level exerts different effects on the AD risk depending on the genotypes. METHODS Using multiple regression analyses, data from the Framingham Heart Study (n = 2884) and Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative study (n = 231) were analyzed. RESULTS An elevated blood MCP-1 level was associated with AD risk in major histocompatibility complex, Class II, DR beta 1 (HLA-DRB1) rs9271192-AC/CC (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.07, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.50-6.28, p = 0.002) and in APOE ε4 carriers (HR = 3.22, 95% CI = 1.59-6.53, p = 0.001). In contrast, among HLA-DRB1 rs9271192-AA and APOE ε4 noncarriers, blood MCP-1 levels were not associated with these phenotypes. DISCUSSION Since HLA-DRB1 and APOE are expressed in the BBB, blood MCP-1 released in the peripheral inflammatory cascade may function as a mediator of the effects of HLA-DRB1 rs9271192-AC/CC and APOE ε4 genotypes on AD pathogenesis in the brain via the BBB pathways.

Abstract
C-reactive protein (CRP) impacts apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) allele to increase Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. However, it is unclear how the ApoE protein and its binding to LRP1 are involved. We found that ApoE2 carriers had the highest but ApoE4 carriers had the lowest concentrations of blood ApoE in both humans and mice; blood ApoE concentration was negatively associated with AD risk. Elevation of peripheral monomeric CRP (mCRP) reduced the expression of ApoE in ApoE2 mice, while it decreased ApoE-LRP1 binding in the brains of ApoE4 mice that was characterized by Proximity Ligation Assay. Both serum ApoE and brain ApoE-LRP1 binding were positively associated with the expression of pericytes that disappeared after mCRP treatment, and negatively associated with brain tauopathy and neuroinflammation in the presence of mCRP. In ApoE-/- mice, mCRP reduced the brain expression levels of synaptophysin and PSD95 and the positive relationship between ApoE-LRP1 binding and synaptophysin or PSD95 expression disappeared. Our study suggests that blood ApoE protects against AD pathogenesis by binding to LRP1 during peripheral chronic inflammation.

Abstract
Cerebrovascular damage coexists with Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology and increases AD risk. However, it is unclear whether endothelial progenitor cells reduce AD risk via cerebrovascular repair. By using the Framingham Heart Study (FHS) offspring cohort, which includes data on different progenitor cells, the incidence of AD dementia, peripheral and cerebrovascular pathologies, and genetic data (n = 1,566), we found that elevated numbers of circulating endothelial progenitor cells with CD34+CD133+ co-expressions had a dose-dependent association with decreased AD risk (HR = 0.67, 95% CI: 0.46-0.96, p = 0.03) after adjusting for age, sex, years of education, and APOE ε4. With stratification, this relationship was only significant among those individuals who had vascular pathologies, especially hypertension (HTN) and cerebral microbleeds (CMB), but not among those individuals who had neither peripheral nor central vascular pathologies. We applied a genome-wide association study (GWAS) and found that the number of CD34+CD133+ cells impacted AD risk depending on the homozygous genotypes of two genes: KIRREL3 rs580382 CC carriers (HR = 0.31, 95% CI: 0.17-0.57, p<0.001), KIRREL3 rs4144611 TT carriers (HR = 0.29, 95% CI: 0.15-0.57, p<0.001), and EXOC6B rs61619102 CC carriers (HR = 0.49, 95% CI: 0.31-0.75, p<0.001) after adjusting for confounders. In contrast, the relationship did not exist in their counterpart genotypes, e.g. KIRREL3 TT/CT or GG/GT carriers and EXOC6B GG/GC carriers. Our findings suggest that circulating CD34+CD133+ endothelial progenitor cells can be therapeutic in reducing AD risk in the presence of cerebrovascular pathology, especially in KIRREL3 and EXOC6B genotype carriers.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION It is unknown whether vascular and metabolic diseases assessed in early adulthood are associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) later in life. METHODS Association of AD with lipid fractions, glucose, blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), and smoking obtained prospectively from 4932 Framingham Heart Study (FHS) participants across nine quadrennial examinations was evaluated using Cox proportional hazard and Kaplan-Meier models. Age-, sex-, and education-adjusted models were tested for each factor measured at each exam and within three adult age groups (early = 35-50, middle = 51-60, and late = 61-70). RESULTS A 15 mg/dL increase in high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol was associated with decreased AD risk during early (15.4%, P = 0.041) and middle (17.9%, P = 0.014) adulthood. A 15 mg/dL increase in glucose measured during middle adulthood was associated with 14.5% increased AD risk (P = 0.00029). These findings remained significant after adjusting for treatment. DISCUSSION Our findings suggest that careful management of cholesterol and glucose beginning in early adulthood can lower AD risk.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein ε4 (APOE ε4) is the most significant genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). Elevated blood C-reactive protein (CRP) further increases the risk of AD for people carrying the APOE ε4 allele. We hypothesized that CRP, as a key inflammatory element, could modulate the impact of other genetic variants on AD risk. We selected ten single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in reported AD risk loci encoding proteins related to inflammation. We then tested the interaction effects between these SNPs and blood CRP levels on AD incidence using the Cox proportional hazards model in UK Biobank (n = 279,176 white participants with 803 incident AD cases). The five top SNPs were tested for their interaction with different CRP cutoffs for AD incidence in the Framingham Heart Study (FHS) Generation 2 cohort (n = 3009, incident AD = 156). We found that for higher concentrations of serum CRP, the AD risk increased for SNP genotypes in 3 AD-associated genes (SPI1, CD33, and CLU). Using the Cox model in stratified genotype analysis, the hazard ratios (HRs) for the association between a higher CRP level (≥10 vs. <10 mg/L) and the risk of incident AD were 1.94 (95% CI: 1.33-2.84, p < 0.001) for the SPI1 rs1057233-AA genotype, 1.75 (95% CI: 1.20-2.55, p = 0.004) for the CD33 rs3865444-CC genotype, and 1.76 (95% CI: 1.25-2.48, p = 0.001) for the CLU rs9331896-C genotype. In contrast, these associations were not observed in the other genotypes of these genes. Finally, two SNPs were validated in 321 Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging (ADNI) Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) patients. We observed that the SPI1 and CD33 genotype effects were enhanced by elevated CRP levels for the risk of MCI to AD conversion. Furthermore, the SPI1 genotype was associated with CSF AD biomarkers, including t-Tau and p-Tau, in the ADNI cohort when the blood CRP level was increased (p < 0.01). Our findings suggest that elevated blood CRP, as a peripheral inflammatory biomarker, is an important moderator of the genetic effects of SPI1 and CD33 in addition to APOE ε4 on AD risk. Monitoring peripheral CRP levels may be helpful for precise intervention and prevention of AD for these genotype carriers.

Abstract
To evaluate the safety of the domestic 13-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine-tetanus toxoid protein (PCV13-TT) after its licensure. The adverse event following immunization (AEFI) and the vaccination data of PCV13-TT in Zhejiang province from July 2020 to October 2021 were collected from national adverse event following immunization surveillance system and Zhejiang provincial immunization information system. Descriptive epidemiological method was used for this analysis. From July 2020 to October 2021, 302 317 doses of PCV13-TT were administered in children under 6 years old in Zhejiang Province and 636 AEFI case reports were received, with a reporting rate of 21.04 per 10 000 doses. Of these AEFI cases, 97.17% were mild vaccine product-related reaction (20.54 per 10 000 doses) and 95.44% occurred in the 0-1 d after vaccination (20.08 per 10 000 doses). The most common clinical diagnoses of AEFI included fever (224 cases), redness (204 cases), and induration (190 cases), while allergic rash (11 cases) was the most common diagnosis among the abnormal reactions. In conclusion,the present results bolstered that the domestic PCV13-TT was generally well tolerated in children under 6 years old in Zhejiang Province.

Abstract
Background It remains unclear whether persistent loneliness is related to brain structures that are associated with cognitive decline and development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study aimed to investigate the relationships between different loneliness types, cognitive functioning, and regional brain volumes. Methods Loneliness was measured longitudinally, using the item from the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale in the Framingham Heart Study, Generation 3, with participants' average age of 46·3 ± 8·6 years. Robust regression models tested the association between different loneliness types with longitudinal neuropsychological performance (n = 2,609) and regional magnetic resonance imaging brain data (n = 1,829) (2002-2019). Results were stratified for sex, depression, and Apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4). Findings Persistent loneliness, but not transient loneliness, was strongly associated with cognitive decline, especially memory and executive function. Persistent loneliness was negatively associated with temporal lobe volume (β = -0.18, 95%CI [-0.32, -0.04], P = 0·01). Among women, persistent loneliness was associated with smaller frontal lobe (β = -0.19, 95%CI [-0.38, -0.01], P = 0·04), temporal lobe (β = -0.20, 95%CI [-0.37, -0.03], P = 0·02), and hippocampus volumes (β = -0.23, 95%CI [-0.40, -0.06], P = 0·007), and larger lateral ventricle volume (β = 0.15, 95%CI [0.02, 0.28], P = 0·03). The higher cumulative loneliness scores across three exams, the smaller parietal, temporal, and hippocampus volumes and larger lateral ventricle were evident, especially in the presence of ApoE4. Interpretation Persistent loneliness in midlife was associated with atrophy in brain regions responsible for memory and executive dysfunction. Interventions to reduce the chronicity of loneliness may mitigate the risk of age-related cognitive decline and AD. Funding US National Institute on Aging.

Abstract
The understanding of the engrafted cell behaviors such as the survival, growth and distribution is the prerequisite to optimize cell therapy, and a multimodal imaging at both anatomical and molecular levels is designed to achieve this goal. We constructed a lentiviral vector carrying genes of ferritin heavy chain 1 (FTH1), near-infrared fluorescent protein (iRFP) and enhanced green fluorescent protein (egfp), and established the induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) culture stably expressing these three reporter genes. These iPSCs showed green and near-infrared fluorescence as well as the iron uptake capacity in vitro. After transplanted the labeled iPSCs into the rat brain, the engrafted cells could be in vivo imaged using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and near-infrared fluorescent imaging (NIF) up to 60 days at the anatomical level. Moreover, these cells could be detected using EGFP immunostaining and Prussian blue stain at the cellular level. The developed approach provides a novel tool to study behaviors of the transplanted cells in a multi-modal way, which will be valuable for the effectiveness and safety evaluation of cell therapy.

Abstract
Introduction Human study shows that elevated C‐reactive protein (CRP) in blood impacts apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4, but not APOE ε3 or APOE ε2, genotype to increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, whether CRP is directly involved in cellular AD pathogenesis and in which type of neuronal cells of APOE ε4 carriers are unknown. Methods We aimed to use different primary neuronal cells and investigate if CRP induces cellular AD pathology depending on APOE genotypes. Here the different primary neuronal cells from the different APOE genotype knock‐in mice cortex were isolated and used. Results Monomeric CRP (mCRP) increased amyloid beta production and, in parallel, induced tau phosphorylation in addition to their related proteins in the primary neurons in a pattern of APOE ε4 > APOE ε3 > APOE ε2 in a dose‐ and time‐dependent manner. Consistently, mCRP induced the staining of other neurodegenerative biomarkers, including Fluoro‐Jade B stain (FjB), TUNEL and Cleaved Caspase‐3, in primary neurons in a similar pattern of APOE ε4 > APOE ε3 > APOE ε2. In contrast, pentameric CRP (pCRP) had a tendency to induce cellular AD pathology but did not reach statistical significance. On the other hand, it is intriguing that regardless of APOE genotype, mCRP did not influence the expressions of Iba‐1 and CD68 in primary microglia or the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein in primary astrocytes, and additionally mCRP did not affect the secretions of interleukin (IL)‐1α, IL‐1β, and tumor necrosis factor α from these cells. Discussion This is the first report to demonstrate that mCRP directly induces cellular AD pathogenesis in neurons in an APOE genotype‐dependent pattern, suggesting that mCRP plays a role as a mediator involved in the APOE ε4‐related pathway for AD during chronic inflammation. Highlights Pentameric C‐reactive protein (pCRP) can be dissociated irreversibly to form free subunits or monomeric CRP (mCRP) during and after the acute phase. mCRP increased amyloid beta production in the primary neurons in a pattern of apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 > APOE ε3 > APOE ε2 in a dose‐dependent manner. mCRP induced the expression of phosphorylated tau in the primary neurons in a pattern of APOE ε4 > APOE ε3 > APOE ε2 in a dose‐ and time‐dependent manner. mCRP plays an important mediator role in the APOE ε4‐related pathway of Alzheimer's disease risk.

Abstract
In chronic peripheral inflammation, endothelia in brain capillary beds could play a role for the apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4)‐mediated risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. Using human brain tissues, here we demonstrate that the interactions of endothelial CD31 with monomeric C‐reactive protein (mCRP) versus ApoE were linked with shortened neurovasculature for AD pathology and cognition. Using ApoE knock‐in mice, we discovered that intraperitoneal injection of mCRP, via binding to CD31 on endothelial surface and increased CD31 phosphorylation (pCD31), leading to cerebrovascular damage and the extravasation of T lymphocytes into the ApoE4 brain. While mCRP was bound to endothelial CD31 in a dose‐ and time‐dependent manner, knockdown of CD31 significantly decreased mCRP binding and altered the expressions of vascular‐inflammatory factors including vWF, NF‐κB and p‐eNOS. RNAseq revealed endothelial pathways related to oxidative phosphorylation and AD pathogenesis were enhanced, but endothelial pathways involving in epigenetics and vasculogenesis were inhibited in ApoE4. This is the first report providing some evidence on the ApoE4‐mCRP‐CD31 pathway for the cross talk between peripheral inflammation and cerebrovasculature leading to AD risk.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The relationship between persistent loneliness and Alzheimer's disease (AD) is unclear. We examined the relationship between different types of mid-life loneliness and the development of dementia and AD. METHODS Loneliness was assessed in cognitively normal adults using one item from the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. We defined loneliness as no loneliness, transient loneliness, incident loneliness,or persistent loneliness, and applied Cox regression models and Kaplan-Meier plots with dementia and AD as outcomes (n = 2880). RESULTS After adjusting for demographics, social network, physical health, and apolipoprotein E ε4, persistent loneliness was associated with higher (hazard ratio [HR], 1.91; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.25-2.90; P < .01), and transient loneliness with lower (HR, 0.34; 95% CI 0.14-0.84; P < .05), risk of dementia onset, compared to no loneliness. Results were similar for AD risk. DISCUSSION Persistent loneliness in mid-life is an independent risk factor for dementia and AD, whereas recovery from loneliness suggests resilience to dementia risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Previous research has shown that elevated blood C-reactive protein (CRP) is associated with increased Alzheimer disease (AD) risk only in APOE ε4 allele carriers; the objective of this study was to examine the interactive effects of plasma CRP and APOE genotype on cognition and AD biomarkers. METHODS Data from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) study were analyzed, including APOE genotype; plasma CRP concentrations; diagnostic status (i.e., mild cognitive impairment and dementia due to AD); Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Clinical Dementia Rating Dementia Staging Instrument scores; CSF concentrations of β-amyloid peptide (Aβ42), total tau (t-Tau) and phosphorylated tau (p-Tau); and amyloid (AV45) PET imaging. Multivariable regression analyses tested the associations between plasma CRP and APOE on cognitive and biomarker outcomes. RESULTS Among 566 ADNI participants, 274 (48.4%) had no, 222 (39.2%) had 1, and 70 (12.4%) had 2 APOE ε4 alleles. Among only participants who had 2 APOE ε4 alleles, elevated CRP was associated with lower MMSE score at baseline (β [95% confidence interval] -0.52 [-1.01, -0.12]) and 12-month follow-up (β -1.09 [-1.88, -0.17]) after adjustment for sex, age, and education. The interaction of 2 APOE ε4 alleles and elevated plasma CRP was associated with increased CSF levels of t-Tau (β = 11.21, SE 3.37, p < 0.001) and p-Tau (β = +2.74, SE 1.14, p < 0.01). Among those who had no APOE ε4 alleles, elevated CRP was associated with decreased CSF t-Tau and p-Tau. These effects were stronger at the 12-month follow-up. DISCUSSION CRP released during peripheral inflammation could be a mediator in APOE ε4-related AD neurodegeneration and serve as a drug target for AD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To prepare Mn2+-doped Prussian blue nanoparticles (Mn-PB NPs) for T1-T2 dual-mode magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and photothermal therapy in vitro. OBJECTIVE Mn-PB NPs were prepared based on manganese chloride, ferrous chloride and potassium ferricyanide using the microemulsion method. The performance of T1-T2 dual-mode MRI with Mn-PB NPs and the photothermal property of the nanoparticles were assessed. CCK-8 assay and AM/PI double staining were used to evaluate the effect of photothermal therapy in vitro using the parepared nanoparticles. OBJECTIVE The prepared Mn-PB NPs had a mean particle size of 39.46±0.42 nm with a Zeta potential of -25.9±1.2 mV and exhibited a good dispersibility and uniform particle size. In MRI using the nanoparticles, the r1 and r2 values reached 0.68 and 3.65 (mmol/L)-1s-1, respectively, indicating good performance of Mn-PB NPs for T1 and T2 enhancement in MRI. When irradiated with 808 nm laser for 10 min, Mn-PB NPs showed a temperature rise to 90 ℃ to cause significant reduction of cell survival. CCK-8 assay and AM/PI double staining confirmed that Mn-PB NPs were capable of efficient killing of HepG2 cells upon 808 nm laser irradiation. OBJECTIVE The Mn-PB NPs prepared in this work have uniform particle size and show good performances both in MRI for T1 and T2 enhancement and in photothermal therapy in vitro without obvious cytotoxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression and Apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) are associated with decreased cognitive function and differences in brain structure. OBJECTIVE This study investigated whether APOE4 status moderates the association between elevated depressive symptoms, cognitive function, and brain structure. METHODS Stroke- and dementia-free participants (n = 1,968) underwent neuropsychological evaluation, brain MRI, and depression screening. Linear and logistic regression was used to examine all associations. Secondary analyses were performed using interaction terms to assess effect modification by APOE4 status. RESULTS Elevated depressive symptoms were associated with lower cognitive performance in several domains. In stratified analyses, elevated depressive symptoms were associated with poorer visual short- and long-term memory performance for APOE4 + participants. Elevated depressive symptoms were not associated with any brain structure in this study sample. CONCLUSION Elevated depressive symptoms impact cognitive function in non-demented individuals. Having the APOE4 allele may exacerbate the deleterious effects of elevated depressive symptoms on visual memory performance. Screening for elevated depressive symptoms in both research studies and clinical practice may be warranted to avoid false positive identification of neurodegeneration, particularly among those who are APOE4 + .

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the diagnostic value of radiomics model based on plain CT scan of peripheral coronary artery adipose tissue for non-calcified plaque. Methods: The image data of 461 patients undergoing coronary CT angiography (CCTA) in the Department of Radiology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Suzhou University from August 1,2019 to July 31,2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Two hundred and six cases (355 branches) with non-calcified plaques, and 255 cases (510 branches) with no coronary artery disease were detected by CCTA. The regions of interest (ROI) of the pericoronary adipose tissue were segmented on the plain CT scan images (coronary calcification score (CCS) sequence). The coronary ROI was determined by selecting the coronary artery with a length of 40 mm and starting at 10 mm from the opening of the coronary artery, and the pericoronary adipose ROI was generated automatically. The pericoronary fat attenuation index (FAI) was then performed, and the radiomics features were extracted. The 865 coronary arteries were divided into the training group (n=606) and the testing group (n=259) at a ratio of 7∶3, and the radiomics model was carried out. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to assess the FAI value and the diagnostic efficacy of the radiomics model for non-calcified plaque. Results: A total of 1 692 features were extracted from images of pericoronary adipose based on plain scan. All features were screened by using max-relevance and min-redundancy (mRMR) and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), and 14 features were selected for the establishment of the radiomics model. The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and area under the curve (AUC) of the model in distinguishing patients with non-calcified plaque and those without coronary stenosis in the testing group were 70.3%, 63.2%, 75.2% and 0.75, respectively. Conclusion: The radiomics model based on plain CT scan of the pericoronary adipose tissue had good diagnostic efficacy for non-calcified plaque.

Abstract
Zero and low field nuclear magnetic resonance measurements have been performed on MAX phase samples (Cr1-x Mn x )2AC with A = Ge and Ga in order to obtain local microscopic information on the nature of magnetism in this system. Our results unambiguously provide evidence for the existence of long-range magnetic order in (Cr0.96Mn0.04)2GeC and for (Cr0.93Mn0.07)2GaC, but not for (Cr0.97Mn0.03)2GaC. We point to a possible dependence of long range magnetic order in these MAX phase compounds on the A atom.

Abstract
B-Lymphoblastic leukemia (B-LL) is the most common childhood hematological malignancy. Although its overall prognosis is good, the outcome after relapse is poor. CD19 is highly expressed on the membrane of most malignant B-cells, and was shown to be a promising therapeutic target of B-LL. In this present work, we designed and synthesized a novel drug carrier, anti-CD19 monoclonal antibody-conjugated human serum albumin nanoparticles (HSA-CD19 NPs). Doxorubicin (DOX) was well encapsulated into the HSA-CD19 NPs to form an anticancer nanodrug DOX/HSA-CD19. DOX/HSA-CD19 was preferentially uptaken by CD19+ B-LL cell line KOPN-8. DOX/HSA-CD19 showed strong antiproliferative effect on KOPN-8 cells with an IC50 value of 4.1 μg/mL. Further, proapoptotic Bax and caspase-3 were significantly elevated, but antiapoptotic Bcl2 was reduced in DOX/HSA-CD19 treated KOPN-8 cells, indicating the activation of the apoptosis pathway by the nanodrug. By contrast, DOX/HSA-CD19 did not show affinity to CD19-monocytic cell line, U937, and did not affect its proliferation. Collectively, HSA-CD19 NPs are a kind of effective novel drug carrier, and DOX/HSA-CD19 is a promising antitumor nanodrug for the treatment of B-LL.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Preclinical studies suggest that amylin has a U-shaped dose-response association with risk of Alzheimer disease (AD). The association of plasma amylin with AD in humans is unknown. OBJECTIVES To measure amylin concentration in plasma by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and to study the association between plasma amylin, incidence of AD, and brain structure in humans. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This cohort study used data from the Framingham Heart Study offspring cohort from 1998 to 2015. Using a Monte Carlo approach, participants were divided into 3 plasma amylin concentration groups: (1) low (<75 pmol/L), (2) high (75-2800 pmol/L), and (3) extremely high (≥2800 pmol/L). Data analyses were conducted October 5, 2017, to December 18, 2018. EXPOSURES Baseline plasma amylin concentrations at examination 7. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Incidence of dementia or AD and brain volumetric measures from structural magnetic resonance imaging data. RESULTS From the Framingham Heart Study offspring cohort, 3061 participants (mean [SD] age at baseline, 61.0 [9.5] years; 1653 [54.0%] women) who had plasma amylin measurements, dementia incidence, and brain volume measurements on record were included in this study. The distribution of plasma amylin concentrations was highly skewed (median [interquartile range], 7.5 [4.6-18.9] pmol/L; mean [SD], 302.3 [1941.0] pmol/L; range, 0.03-44 623.7 pmol/L). Compared with the low plasma amylin concentration group, the high plasma amylin concentration group had a lower rate of AD incidence (2.3% vs 5.6%; P = .04), but the extremely high plasma amylin concentration group had a higher rate of AD incidence (14.3%; P < .001). After adjusting for age, sex, education, body mass index, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high-density lipoprotein level, and APOE4, high plasma amylin was not associated with decreased AD risk (hazard ratio, 0.42 [95% CI, 0.16-1.14]; P = .09) but was positively associated with volume of gray matter in the temporal lobe (β = 0.17 [SE, 0.05]; P < .001). In contrast, extremely high plasma amylin concentration was associated with a higher AD risk (hazard ratio, 2.51 [95% CI, 1.38-4.57]; P = .003) but not associated with temporal lobe volume (β = 0.02 [SE, 0.07]; P = .82). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE This study found that plasma amylin concentration was associated with AD incidence and brain structure with a U-shaped pattern. These findings are consistent with preclinical findings that suggest amylin is a neuropeptide that is physiological; however, at extremely high concentrations, it may lead to amylin aggregation and therefore may be a risk factor for AD.

Abstract
Recent studies demonstrate that peripheral amylin treatment reduces pathology in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, soluble and aggregated amylin are distinct species; while amylin is a physiological neuropeptide, amylin aggregation is a pathological factor for diabetes. We thus hypothesized that because of their similarity in secondary structures, amylin antagonizes amyloid-β peptide (Aβ)-induced AD pathology in neurons with a dose-dependent pattern. To test the hypothesis, we conducted both in vitro and in vivo experiments with different doses of amylin and with its analog, pramlintide. Here we report that a high concentration of either Aβ or amylin alone induced tau phosphorylation (pTau) in primary neurons. Interestingly, with a low concentration, amylin had direct effects to reverse the Aβ-induced pTau, as well as damaged neuronal synapses and neurite disorganization. However, when the concentration was high (10.24 μM), amylin lost the effects against the Aβ-induced cellular AD pathology and, together with Aβ, worsened tauopathy in neurons. In the 5XFAD AD mouse model, daily peripheral amylin treatment with a low dose (200 μg/kg) more effectively reduced amyloid burden, and increased synapse, but with a high dose (800 μg/kg), it more effectively reduced tauopathy. Correspondingly, amylin treatment improved learning and memory in these mice. It demonstrates that amylin has a dose-dependent U-shape effect against AD pathogenesis. Within a physiological range, amylin is a neuroprotective hormone against AD in neurons; but when both Aβ and amylin concentrations are elevated, imbalance of Aβ and amylin may contribute to brain AD pathogenesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to provide an epidemiological model to evaluate the risk of developing dyslipidaemia within 5 years in the Taiwanese population. METHODS A cohort of 11,345 subjects aged 35-74 years and was non-dyslipidaemia in the initial year 1996 and followed in 1997-2006 to derive a risk score that could predict the occurrence of dyslipidaemia. Multivariate logistic regression was used to derive the risk functions using the check-up centre of the overall cohort. Rules based on these risk functions were evaluated in the remaining three centres as the testing cohort. We evaluated the predictability of the model using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) to confirm its diagnostic property on the testing sample. We also established the degrees of risk based on the cut-off points of these probabilities after transforming them into a normal distribution by log transformation. RESULTS The incidence of dyslipidaemia over the 5-year period was 19.1%. The final multivariable logistic regression model includes the following six risk factors: gender, history of diabetes, triglyceride level, HDL-C (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol), LDL-C (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) and BMI (body mass index). The ROC AUC was 0.709 (95% CI: 0.693-0.725), which could predict the development of dyslipidaemia within 5 years. CONCLUSION This model can help individuals assess the risk of dyslipidaemia and guide group surveillance in the community.

Abstract
Importance The association between peripheral inflammatory biomarkers and Alzheimer disease (AD) is not consistent in the literature. It is possible that chronic inflammation, rather than 1 episode of inflammation, interacts with genetic vulnerability to increase the risk for AD. Objective To study the interaction between the apolipoprotein E (ApoE) genotype and chronic low-grade inflammation and its association with the incidence of AD. Design, Setting, and Participants In this cohort study, data from 2656 members of the Framingham Heart Study offspring cohort (Generation 2; August 13, 1971-November 27, 2017) were evaluated, including longitudinal measures of serum C-reactive protein (CRP), diagnoses of incident dementia including AD, and brain volume. Chronic low-grade inflammation was defined as having CRP at a high cutoff level at a minimum of 2 time points. Statistical analysis was performed from December 1, 1979, to December 31, 2015. Main Outcomes and Measures Development of AD and brain volumes. Results Of the 3130 eligible participants, 2656 (84.9%; 1227 men and 1429 women; mean [SD] age at last CRP measurement, 61.6 [9.5] years) with both ApoE status and longitudinal CRP measurements were included in this study analysis. Median (interquartile range) CRP levels increased with mean (SD) age (43.3 [9.6] years, 0.95 mg/L [0.40-2.35 mg/L] vs 59.1 [9.6] years, 2.04 mg/L [0.93-4.75 mg/L] vs 61.6 [9.5] years, 2.21 mg/L [1.05-5.12 mg/L]; P < .001), but less so among those with ApoE4 alleles, followed by ApoE3 then ApoE2 genotypes. During the 17 years of follow-up, 194 individuals (7.3%) developed dementia, 152 (78.4%) of whom had AD. ApoE4 coupled with chronic low-grade inflammation, defined as a CRP level of 8 mg/L or higher, was associated with an increased risk of AD, especially in the absence of cardiovascular diseases (hazard ratio, 6.63; 95% CI, 1.80-24.50; P = .005), as well as an increased risk of earlier disease onset compared with ApoE4 carriers without chronic inflammation (hazard ratio, 3.52; 95% CI, 1.27-9.75; P = .009). This phenomenon was not observed among ApoE3 and ApoE2 carriers with chronic low-grade inflammation. Finally, a subset of 1761 individuals (66.3%) underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging, and the interaction between ApoE4 and chronic low-grade inflammation was associated with brain atrophy in the temporal lobe (β = -0.88, SE = 0.22; P < .001) and hippocampus (β = -0.04, SE = 0.01; P = .005), after adjusting for confounders. Conclusions and Relevance In this study, peripheral chronic low-grade inflammation in participants with ApoE4 was associated with shortened latency for onset of AD. Rigorously treating chronic systemic inflammation based on genetic risk could be effective for the prevention and intervention of AD.

Abstract
Studies suggest that a single injection of pramlintide, an amylin analog, induces changes in Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers in the blood of AD mouse models and AD patients. The aim of this study was to examine whether a pramlintide challenge combined with a phosphatidylcholine (PC) profile diagnoses of AD and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) better than PC alone. Non-diabetic subjects with cognitive status were administered a single subcutaneous injection of 60 mcg of pramlintide under fasting condition. A total of 71 PCs, amyloid-β peptide (Aβ), and total tau (t-tau) in plasma at different time points were measured and treated as individual variables. A single injection of pramlintide altered the levels of 7 PCs in the blood, while a pramlintide injection plus food modulated the levels of 10 PCs in the blood (p < 0.05). The levels of 2 PCs in MCI and 12 PCs in AD in the pramlintide challenge were significantly lower than the ones in controls. We found that while some PCs were associated with only Aβ levels, other PCs were associated with both Aβ and t-tau levels. A receiver operating characteristic analysis of the PCs was combined with the Aβ and t-tau data to produce an area under the curve predictive value of 0.9799 between MCI subjects and controls, 0.9794 between AD subjects and controls, and 0.9490 between AD and MCI subjects. A combination of AD biomarkers and a group of PCs post a pramlintide challenge may provide a valuable diagnostic and prognostic test for AD and MCI.

Abstract
Amylin is an important gut-brain axis hormone. Since amylin and amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) share similar β sheet secondary structure despite not having the same primary sequences, we hypothesized that the accumulation of Aβ in the brains of subjects with Alzheimer's disease (AD) might compete with amylin for binding to the amylin receptor (AmR). If true, adding exogenous amylin type peptides would compete with Aβ and reduce the AD pathological cascade, improving cognition. Here we report that a 10-week course of peripheral treatment with human amylin significantly reduced multiple different markers associated with AD pathology, including reducing levels of phospho-tau, insoluble tau, two inflammatory markers (Iba1 and CD68), as well as cerebral Aβ. Amylin treatment also led to improvements in learning and memory in two AD mouse models. Mechanistic studies showed that an amylin receptor antagonist successfully antagonized some protective effects of amylin in vivo, suggesting that the protective effects of amylin require interaction with its cognate receptor. Comparison of signaling cascades emanating from AmR suggest that amylin electively suppresses activation of the CDK5 pathway by Aβ. Treatment with amylin significantly reduced CDK5 signaling in a receptor dependent manner, dramatically decreasing the levels of p25, the active form of CDK5 with a corresponding reduction in tau phosphorylation. This is the first report documenting the ability of amylin treatment to reduce tauopathy and inflammation in animal models of AD. The data suggest that the clinical analog of amylin, pramlintide, might exhibit utility as a therapeutic agent for AD and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Preclinical studies demonstrate the potential of amylin in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We aimed to lay the foundation for repurposing the amylin analog and a diabetes drug, pramlintide, for AD in humans. METHODS We administered a single subcutaneous injection of 60 μg of pramlintide to nondiabetic subjects under fasting conditions. RESULTS None of the participants developed hypoglycemia after the injection of pramlintide. The pramlintide challenge induced a significant surge of amyloid-β peptide and a decrease in total tau in the plasma of AD subjects but not in control participants. The pramlintide injection provoked an increase in interleukin 1 receptor antagonist and a decrease in retinol-binding protein 4, which separates AD subjects from control subjects. DISCUSSION Pramlintide use appeared to be safe in the absence of diabetes. The biomarker changes as a result of the pramlintide challenge, which distinguished AD from control subjects and mild cognitive impairment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The authors investigated the effects of suboptimal health status (SHS; high-normal blood pressure, blood glucose, and blood lipids) on arterial elasticity in subjects with or without anxiety or depression. HYPOTHESIS Suboptimal physical health status and anxiety or depression increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. METHODS This was a cross-sectional, observational, multicenter study. Among 1520 subjects who underwent physical examination between May 2009 and December 2012 in Beijing and Chongqing, China, 955 were included. All subjects completed anxiety and depression questionnaires. Systemic vascular compliance (SVC), systemic vascular resistance, and brachial artery distensibility (BAD) were measured during arterial elasticity evaluation. RESULTS Of 955 participants, 633 were classified as having SHS and 322 were classified as healthy. Systemic vascular compliance and BAD were worse in SHS subjects than in healthy subjects (SVC: 1.23 ± 0.22 vs 1.29 ± 0.25 mL/mm Hg; BAD: 6.26 ± 1.32 vs 6.61 ± 1.24%/mm Hg, respectively; both P < 0.05). Of 955 subjects, 37.7% and 43.9% had anxiety and depression, respectively. Systemic vascular compliance and BAD in SHS subjects with concomitant anxiety or depression were significantly lower than in SHS subjects without anxiety or depression (SVC: 1.22 ± 0.23 vs 1.23 ± 0.20 mL/mm Hg; BAD: 6.10 ± 1.36 vs 6.33 ± 1.20 %/mm Hg, respectively; both P < 0.05) and even lower than in healthy subjects. CONCLUSIONS Though anxiety and depression had less impact on arterial elasticity in a healthy population, they may be involved in pathogenesis of vascular damage in the population with SHS.
