AI Article Synopsis

  • * A deep learning model was developed using data from 2,897 cases to predict cognitive function and brain atrophy based on age and basic blood tests, with key predictors being age, nutrition, and organ function.
  • * The study supports using routine blood tests for assessing dementia risk and suggests personalized dietary interventions, aligning with traditional Chinese medicine's holistic approach to brain health.

Article Abstract

Recent research has linked systemic metabolic disorders to cognitive decline and dementia risk, including Alzheimer's. This is suspected to be due to lifestyle-related vascular impairments from atherosclerosis and other factors, such as malnutrition and anaemia. Applying deep learning using 2897 cases from a rehabilitation hospital and health screenings, we trained a model to predict cognitive function [mini-mental state examination (MMSE) scores] and brain atrophy [Brain Healthcare Quotient (BHQ) scores] from basic blood tests and age. The deep learning model accurately estimated MMSE and BHQ from these inputs, with age, nutritional information, and organ function indicators being top predictors. These findings highlight the relationship of dementia with systemic metabolic disorders and suggest the potential of using routine blood tests for dementia risk assessment. Furthermore, personalised dietary interventions could be tailored based on blood test anomalies. This holistic view mirrors traditional Chinese medicine, which considers brain disorders systemic, that is related to vital organs but not the brain itself.

Iron-Mediated Regulation in Adipose Tissue: A Comprehensive Review of Metabolism and Physiological Effects.

Curr Obes Rep

January 2025

Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Zhuhai People's Hospital (The Affiliated Hospital of Beijing Institute of Technology, Zhuhai Clinical Medical College of Jinan University), Zhuhai, China.

Purpose Of Review: Review the latest data regarding the intersection of adipose tissue (AT) and iron to meet the needs of AT metabolism and the progression of related diseases.

Recent Findings: Iron is involved in fundamental biological metabolic processes and is precisely fine-tuned within the body to maintain cellular, tissue and even systemic iron homeostasis. AT not only serves as an energy storage depot but also represents the largest endocrine organ in the human body, maintaining systemic metabolic homeostasis.

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is known to be a major complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc) and a leading cause of death in SSc patients. As the most common type of ILD, the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has not been fully elucidated. In this study, weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA), protein‒protein interaction, Kaplan-Meier curve, univariate Cox analysis and machine learning methods were used on datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus database.

Chronic itch which is primarily associated with dermatologic, systemic, or metabolic disorders is often refractory to most current antipruritic medications, thus highlighting the need for improved therapies. Oxidative damage is a novel determinant of spinal pruriceptive sensitization and synaptic plasticity. The resolution of oxidative insult by molecular hydrogen has been manifested.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease whose pathogenesis is not fully understood to date. One of the suggested mechanisms for its development is NETosis, which involves the release of a specific network consisting of chromatin, proteins, and enzymes from neutrophils, stimulating the immune system. One of its markers is citrullinated histone H3 (H3Cit).

Chronic low-grade inflammation observed in older adults, termed inflammaging, is a common feature underlying a multitude of aging-associated maladies including a decline in hematopoietic activity. However, whether suppression of inflammaging can preserve hematopoietic health span remains unclear, in part because of a lack of tools to measure inflammaging within hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Here, we identify thrombospondin-1 (Thbs1) as an essential regulator of inflammaging within HSCs.
