A framework of biomarkers for skeletal aging: a consensus statement by the Aging Biomarker Consortium.

The skeleton is an important structural and metabolic organ in human body, while aging is the physiological basis for degenerative skeletal diseases. China has the largest aging population in the world and faces great challenges in preventing and managing diseases related to skeletal aging. To address these challenges, the Aging China Biomarkers Consortium (ABC) has reached an expert consensus on biomarkers of skeletal aging by synthesizing the literature and insights from scientists and clinicians.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS): from mechanistic insights to therapeutic strategies.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a clinical syndrome of acute hypoxic respiratory failure caused by diffuse lung inflammation and edema. ARDS can be precipitated by intrapulmonary factors or extrapulmonary factors, which can lead to severe hypoxemia. Patients suffering from ARDS have high mortality rates, including a 28-day mortality rate of 34.

Associations of First-Year Low-Level Viremia with Subsequent Viral Non-Suppression in People Living with HIV on Antiretroviral Therapy - Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China, 2008-2021.

What Is Already Known About This Topic?: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) low-level viremia (LLV) during antiretroviral therapy (ART) occurs frequently in Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province.

What Is Added By This Report?: Among people living with HIV who achieved virological success [viral load (VL) <1,000 copies/mL] after initiating ART in Dehong Prefecture, Southwest China, 17.6% experienced first-year LLV of 50-999 copies/mL First-year LLV emerged as an independent risk factor for subsequent viral non-suppression compared with participants maintaining first-year VL <50 copies/mL.
