Abstract
As a prominent feature of gout, monosodium urate (MSU) crystal deposition induces gout flares, but its impact on immune inflammation in gout remission remains unclear. Using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), we characterize the transcription profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) among intercritical remission gout, advanced remission gout, and normal controls. We find systemic inflammation in gout remission with MSU crystal deposition at the intercritical and advanced stages, evidenced by activated inflammatory pathways, strengthened inflammatory cell-cell interactions, and elevated arachidonic acid metabolic activity. We also find increased HLA-DQA1high classic monocytes and PTGS2high monocytes in advanced gout and overactivated CD8+ T cell subtypes in intercritical and advanced gout. Additionally, the osteoclast differentiation pathway is significantly enriched in monocytes, T cells, and B cells from advanced gout. Overall, we demonstrate systemic inflammation and distinctive immune responses in gout remission with MSU crystal deposition, allowing further exploration of the underlying mechanism and clinical significance in conversion from intercritical to advanced stage.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) and COVID-19 share many common risk factors, such as advanced age, complications, APOE genotype, etc. Epidemiological studies have also confirmed the internal relationship between the two diseases. For example, studies have found that AD patients are more likely to suffer from COVID-19, and after infection with COVID-19, AD also has a much higher risk of death than other chronic diseases, and what's more interesting is that the risk of developing AD in the future is significantly higher after infection with COVID-19. Therefore, this review gives a detailed introduction to the internal relationship between Alzheimer's disease and COVID-19 from the perspectives of epidemiology, susceptibility and mortality. At the same time, we focused on the important role of inflammation and immune responses in promoting the onset and death of AD from COVID-19.
