Investigating causal associations between pork intake and multiple sclerosis using Mendelian randomization: Insights from large-scale GWAS data in European populations.

Background: Observational studies propose associations between dietary factors and multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the causal nature of these relationships remains unclear. This study aims to determine whether nutritional factors causally influence MS risk through Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.

The association between circulating Hcy and Lp-PLA2 levels and poststroke depression: A meta-analysis.

Objective: To analyze the correlation between circulating homocysteine (Hcy) and lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) levels and poststroke depression (PSD).

Materials And Methods: Chinese (Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, and VIP) and English (PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library) databases on the correlation between circulating Hcy and Lp-PLA2 and PSD were collected. Meta-analysis was performed to compare the distinctions in circulating Hcy and Lp-PLA2 levels between PSD and non-PSD groups.
