Background: Obesity and abnormal lipid metabolism increase the risk of various cardiometabolic diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. However, the impact of abdominal obesity (AO) and non-traditional lipid parameters on the risk of cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the separate and combined effects of AO and non-traditional lipid parameters on the incidence risk of CMM.

Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to investigate the association between Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI), lipid accumulation product (LAP) index and skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) at initial diagnosis and the risk of haematological toxicity following immunochemotherapy in patients with DLBCL.
Design: Retrospective, single-centre study.
Background: Stroke is the leading cause of death in middle-aged and elderly people in China. Insulin resistance (IR) and sarcopenia are both closely associated with metabolic diseases. However, the relationship between these two indicators and stroke has not been fully investigated.

The application of chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) immunotherapy has ushered in a new era in cancer therapy, especially in the treatment of many kinds of refractory malignant tumors. The curative effect is significant for refractory/recurrent hematologic malignancies, such as acute leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma (MM). Tumor microenvironment (TME) is closely related to the efficacy and adverse reactions of CAR-T therapy.

Recent studies have shown that higher levels of inflammation are associated with an increased risk of thrombosis in PV patients, while the correlation between inflammation and abnormal lipid metabolism with the risk of thrombosis in PV has not been reported. In this retrospective study, 148 patients with newly diagnosed PV who visited the Affiliated Hospitals of Nanchang University from January 2013 to June 2023 were categorized into low-risk group and high-risk group according to the risk of thrombosis, and were subsequently divided into thrombosis non-progression group and progression group.
