Background: The study aimed to examine the association between the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), a contemporary metric of systemic inflammatory response, and biological aging, which are closely interconnected processes.
Methods: This cross-sectional study utilized 10 cycles of data from the NHANES database spanning from 1990 to 2018. The study examined the relationship between the SII index, calculated as P * N/L, where P represents preoperative peripheral platelet count, N represents neutrophil count, and L represents lymphocyte count, and biological aging. Biological aging was assessed through various methods, such as phenotypic age, phenotypic age acceleration (PhenoAgeAccel), biological age, and biological age acceleration (BioAgeAccel). Correlations were analyzed using weighted linear regression and subgroup analysis.
Results: Among the 7,491 participants analyzed, the average age was 45.26 ± 0.34 years, with 52.16% being female. The average phenotypic and biological ages were 40.06 ± 0.36 and 45.89 ± 0.32 years, respectively. Following adjustment for potential confounders, elevated SII scores were linked to increased phenotypic age, biological age, Phenotypic age acceleration, and Biological age acceleration. Positive correlations were observed between health behavior and health factor scores and biological aging, with stronger associations seen for health factors. In health factor-specific analyses, the β coefficient was notably higher for high BMI. The robust positive associations between SII scores and both phenotypic age and biological age in the stratified analyses were consistently observed across all strata.
Conclusion: The evidence from the NHANES data indicate that SII may serve as a valuable marker for assessing different facets of aging and health outcomes, such as mortality and the aging process. Additional research is warranted to comprehensively elucidate the implications of SII in the aging process and its utility as a clinical instrument for evaluating and addressing age-related ailments.

Chapter 5: THE ROLE OF GENETICS IN PRIMARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM.
Ann Endocrinol (Paris)

Around 10% of cases of primary hyperparathyroidism are thought to be genetic in origin, some of which are part of a syndromic form such as multiple endocrine neoplasia types 1, 2A or 4 or hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome, while the remainder are cases of isolated familial primary hyperparathyroidism. Recognition of these genetic forms is important to ensure appropriate management according to the gene and type of variant involved, but screening for a genetic cause is not justified in all patients presenting primary hyperparathyroidism. The indications for genetic analysis have made it possible to propose a decision tree that takes into account whether the presentation is familial or sporadic, syndromic or isolated, patient age, and histopathological type of parathyroid lesion.

The Linker of Nucleoskeleton and Cytoskeleton (LINC) complex plays a crucial role in connecting the nuclear envelope to the cytoskeleton, providing structural support to the nucleus and facilitating mechanical signaling between the extracellular environment and the nucleus. Research in mechanobiology onboard the International Space Station (ISS) and in simulated microgravity (SMG) highlight the importance of gravity in functional mechanotransduction. Although the altered gravity research regarding mechanobiology has been greatly focused on the cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix (ECM), recent research demonstrates that SMG also induces changes in nuclear mechanics and gene expression patterns, which have been shown to be LINC complex dependent.

Aims: To assess the prevalence of possible sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity phenotypes and investigate their association with self-reported diabetes among community-dwelling individuals aged 45 or above.
Methods: Utilizing data from 62,899 individuals in LASI wave-1 (2017-18), the assessment of possible sarcopenia was done on two critical parameters: muscle (handgrip) strength and physical performance (gait speed), following the 2019 guidelines from the Asian working group on sarcopenia (AWGS). BMI, WC, WHR, and WHtR defined sarcopenic obesity phenotypes.

Background: The ECM (extracellular matrix) provides the microenvironmental niche sensed by resident vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Aging and disease are associated with dramatic changes in ECM composition and properties; however, their impact on the VSMC phenotype remains poorly studied.
Methods: Here, we describe a novel in vitro model system that utilizes endogenous ECM to study how modifications associated with age and metabolic disease impact the VSMC phenotype.
V-ATPase Disassembly at the Yeast Lysosome-Like Vacuole Is a Phenotypic Driver of Lysosome Dysfunction in Replicative Aging.

Declines in lysosomal acidification and function with aging are observed in organisms ranging from yeast to humans. V-ATPases play a central role in organelle acidification, and V-ATPase activity is regulated by reversible disassembly in many different settings. Using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a replicative aging model, we demonstrate that V-ATPases disassemble into their V and V subcomplexes in aging cells, with release of V subunit C (Vma5) from the lysosome-like vacuole into the cytosol.
