The relationship between the weight-adjusted waist circumference index (WWI) and the senescence-inhibitory protein Klotho remains unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between WWI and soluble Klotho (s-Klotho). This study analyzed 9,928 participants based on the 2007-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

- The study looked at how drinking coffee might affect muscle mass in adults in the U.S. since previous research was unclear and small.
- They used health data from over 8,300 people and found that drinking more coffee and caffeine was linked to having more muscle mass.
- However, this connection wasn't true for people with a higher body mass index (BMI) over 30, which means possibly being overweight or obese.
Background: Frailty is a dynamic geriatric condition. Limited studies have examined the association of the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and its related indicators [TyG index, triglyceride glucose-waist to height ratio (TyG-WHtR), triglyceride glucose-waist circumference (TyG-WC), and triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI)] with frailty, and the potential links among them remain unclear. On the basis of data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), this study investigated the potential relationships of the TyG index and its related indices with frailty.

- The study investigates the link between ankle-brachial index (ABI) and cardiovascular mortality in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), finding low ABI is a significant risk factor.
- Using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999-2004) and tracking mortality until 2015, researchers categorized ABI into low, borderline, and normal values.
- Results showed that low ABI was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality, independent of pre-existing cardiovascular conditions or diabetes, but it did not correlate with overall mortality rates in NAFLD patients.
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell-intrinsic programmed death 1 (PD-1) promotes tumor progression. However, the mechanisms that regulate its expression are unclear. This study investigated the impact of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) on HCC cell-intrinsic PD-1 expression.

Purpose: To explore the relationship between hemoglobin levels and osteoporosis and the risk factors for osteoporosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Patients And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 495 T2DM adults. Medical data were collected from electronic medical records.
Background And Aim: Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) TNK2 AS1 is a noncoding RNA with the capability of affecting microRNAs (miRNAs) levels and gene expression. The study was designed to investigate the mechanism of TNK2 AS1 in gastric cancer.
Methods: The loss and gain of function of TNK2 AS1 were investigated by analyzing the malignant behavior of AGS cells including the abilities of migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process via wound healing and transwell assay, as well as western blot.
