Aim: The present study explored the gender interaction on the risk of uric acid in the new development of hypertension.

Study Design: A longitudinal retrospective cohort.

Subjects & Methods: A total of 5,807 individuals with an average age of 38 ± 7 years old were recruited. Individuals whose blood pressure rose more than 140/90mmHg or those who newly commenced antihypertensive treatment were defined as a new onset of hypertension. Cox regression analysis was employed for the analysis.

Results: During the 10-years follow-up, 42.8% of men and 22.2% of women had developed hypertension. Factors to predict the hypertension development were male gender, older age, higher BMI, higher uric acid, and higher mean blood pressure. An association between higher uric acid levels and higher incidence of hypertension remained statistically significant in women in a multivariate model adjusted for various clinical variables (Hazard ration (HR), 1.180; 95%CI, 1.018 to 1.369), whereas such association was not found in men (HR, 1.034; 95%CI, 0.994 to 1.075). The interaction between the two genders reached statistical significance (p for interaction = 0.007).

Conclusion: Higher uric acid is associated with the incident hypertension in the both genders. Women are more susceptible to the development of hypertension than men.

High-affinity uric acid clearance based on motile β-CD/F-127 polyrotaxane microspheres for enhanced diabetic wound repair.

Hyperuricemia-related diabetic wounds are notoriously difficult to treat due to elevated uric acid (UA) levels, excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), and chronic inflammation. Current therapies often fail to address these underlying causes, underscoring the need for innovative approaches that not only clear UA but also mitigate inflammation and promote tissue regeneration. In this study, we developed a polyrotaxane-based microsphere (HPR MS) system conjugated with 4,5-diamino-2-thiouracil (DT) to achieve high-affinity UA clearance without increasing cytotoxicity.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of E.coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) on immune responses, blood parameters, oxidative stress, egg quality, and performance of laying Japanese quail. A total of one-hundred day-old quail chicks were assigned to 1 of 4 treatments based on probiotic concentration: 1 (0 CFU/mL; control), 2 (10 CFU/mL), 3 (10 CFU/mL), and 4 (10 CFU/mL).

Objective: Evaluating the change trajectories of triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index calculated after multiple tests in elderly heart failure (HF) patients may have clinical implications for predicting long-term adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs).

Methods: This retrospective study included 1184 elderly HF (LVEF ≥50%) patients with diabetes admitted to our center between January 2015 and January 2020. Based on the multiple TyG levels detected during the exposure period with annual measurements, three distinct TyG trajectories were determined using latent mixture modeling: low-stable group (TyG index <8.

Aims: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a condition characterized by rapidly decreasing renal funciton following by the application of contrast material. Precutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a life-saving treatment method that should be applied under emergent conditions. Unfortunately, the incidence of CIN after PCI is common.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a growing global healthcare burden. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are more likely to acquire MetS than the general population. Recent research suggests that the interaction of adipose tissue products, such as adiponectin resistin and uric acid, is essential in MetS onset.
