Global, regional, and national burden of very early-onset colorectal cancer and its risk factors from 1990 to 2019: A systematic analysis for the global burden of disease study 2019.

Aims: Very early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) was defined as CRC diagnosed before the age of 35 proposed by the latest EOCRC management guideline. Until now, the disease burden of very EOCRC has never been reported. This study aimed to explore the burden of very EOCRC across the past three decades.

Exploring the butyrate metabolism-related shared genes in metabolic associated steatohepatitis and ulcerative colitis.

Metabolic-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and ulcerative colitis (UC) exhibit a complex interconnection with immune dysfunction, dysbiosis of the gut microbiota, and activation of inflammatory pathways. This study aims to identify and validate critical butyrate metabolism-related shared genes between both UC and MASH. Clinical information and gene expression profiles were sourced from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database.

Association between Life's Essential 8 and cataract among US adults.

Currently, a comprehensive assessment of the relationship between ideal cardiovascular health (CVH) indicators and cataract risk is lacking. Life's Essential 8 (LE8) is the latest concept proposed by the American Heart Association to comprehensively reflect CVH status. LE8 includes four health behaviors (diet, physical activity, smoking, and sleep) and four health factors (blood lipid, blood sugar, blood pressure, and body mass index).

Causal relationships between dietary habits and Barrett's esophagus risk: a univariable and multivariable Mendelian randomization study.

: Dietary habits are reported to be associated with Barrett's esophagus (BE) risk; however, whether there is a causal relationship remains controversial. Here, we systematically examined the causal effects of genetically predicted dietary habits on BE risk through a Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis approach. : Data for exposures were obtained from the UK Biobank (UKB), while the summary-level data for outcomes were obtained from a large sample-size GWAS meta-analysis.

Based on Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis Reveals the Hub Immune Infiltration-Related Genes Associated with Ulcerative Colitis.

Purpose: Immune infiltration plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of mucosal damage in ulcerative colitis (UC). The objective of this study was to systematically analyze and identify genetic characteristics associated with immune infiltration in UC.

Patients And Methods: Gene expression data from three independent datasets obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) were utilized.

Trends in Oxidative Balance Score and Prevalence of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease in the United States: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2001 to 2018.

Background: Most studies have primarily focused on assessing the association between diet or exercise patterns and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). This study adopted a more comprehensive approach by introducing the oxidative balance score (OBS) to evaluate the combined effects of diet and lifestyle on the body's antioxidant ability. Our main objective was to investigate the association between OBS and the burden of MASLD in the United States.

Association between diet soft drink consumption and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: findings from the NHANES.

Background: Lifestyle change plays a crucial role in the prevention and treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). In recent years, diet soft drinks that emphasize "zero sugar and zero calories" have become all the rage, but whether diet soft drink consumption is associated with MASLD is not clear.

Methods: This study included data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) in 2003-2006.

Causal association between common rheumatic diseases and glaucoma: a Mendelian randomization study.

Background: Autoimmunity and inflammation are the main characteristics of rheumatic diseases and have both been found to be related to glaucoma. However, it remains unclear whether rheumatic diseases increase the risk of glaucoma. Here, we performed a Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to investigate the causal effects of six common rheumatic diseases on glaucoma.

Comprehensive analysis of P2Y family genes expression, immune characteristics, and prognosis in pan-cancer.

Background: P2Y receptors are a family of G protein-coupled receptor genes that have an important function in cancer development and metastasis. However, systematic studies have not been conducted on human tumors. This study attempted to explore the role of P2Y family genes (P2Ys) in pan-cancer.

Association of Dietary Fiber, Composite Dietary Antioxidant Index and Risk of Death in Tumor Survivors: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2001-2018.

Background: Dietary fiber is a functional substance with strong antioxidant activity that plays an important role in human health. Dietary fiber has been shown to reduce the risks of many types of cancers, but whether it can reduce the risk of death in cancer survivors remains undetermined.

Methods: This study included the dietary data of cancer survivors who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys from 2001 to 2018.

Causal Link between Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Fistula: Evidence from Mendelian Randomization Study.

Background: Previous observational studies have found that fistulas are common in Crohn's disease (CD) and less common in ulcerative colitis (UC). However, some patients have a fistula before diagnosis. Based on retrospective analysis, it was not possible to determine whether there was a bi-directional causal relationship between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and fistulas.

High-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels is negatively associated with intertrochanter bone mineral density in adults aged 50 years and older.

Background: High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) has long been viewed as a protective factor for cardiovascular health. Yet, higher HDL-C was not necessarily beneficial. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between HDL-C levels and intertrochanter bone mineral density.

Association between Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Iridocyclitis: A Mendelian Randomization Study.

Background: Iridocyclitis (IC) is a common extraintestinal manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Observational studies showed patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) both have a higher risk of IC. However, due to the inherent limitations of observational studies, the association and its directionality between the two forms of IBD and IC remain undiscerned.

The interaction between microbiota and immune in intestinal inflammatory diseases: Global research status and trends.

Aims: This study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the relevant literature on the interaction between microbiota and immune in intestinal inflammatory diseases, and show its current status, hotspots, and development trends.

Methods: The related literature was acquired from the Web of Science Core Collection on October 12, 2022. Co-occurrence and cooperation relationship analysis of authors, institutions, countries, references, and keywords in the literature were carried out through CiteSpace 6.

Distant Metastasis Pattern and Prognostic Prediction Model of Colorectal Cancer Patients Based on Big Data Mining.

Aims: This study aimed to investigate the distant metastasis pattern from newly diagnosed colorectal cancer (CRC) and also construct and validate a prognostic nomogram to predict both overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) of CRC patients with distant metastases.

Methods: Primary CRC patients who were initially diagnosed from 2010 to 2016 in the SEER database were included in the analysis. The independent risk factors affecting the OS, CSS, all-cause mortality, and CRC-specific mortality of the patients were screened by the Cox regression and Fine-Gray competitive risk model.
