Background: Hypothyroidism, a prevalent thyroid hormone abnormality identified by biochemical indicators, is prone to serious consequences because of its insidious clinical manifestations and easy underdiagnosis. This research aimed to elucidate the relationships between indicators of lipid and glucose metabolism and hypothyroidism and to assess the value of metabolic indicators for hypothyroidism.
Methods: Prevalence surveys were conducted utilizing information from 3254 NHANES individuals who passed screening between 2007 and 2012. Comparisons of baseline characteristics, assessment of logistic regression and subgroup analyses, visualization of restricted cubic splines curves, and validation of causal mediation analyses were performed to obtain a comprehensive view of the relationships between indicators of lipid and glucose metabolism and hypothyroidism.
Results: Lipid and glucose metabolism indicators, especially the unconventional parameters triglyceride‒glucose index (TyG) and remnant cholesterol (RC) and the conventional parameter triglyceride (TG), exhibited robust positive relationships with hypothyroidism and served as crucial mediators in the pathways by which hypothyroidism affects health outcomes. Indicators were varying suggestive for hypothyroidism in distinct populations, with TyG being relatively more valuable.
Conclusions: Indicators of lipid and glucose metabolism (TyG, TG, and RC) were intimately associated with hypothyroidism, with potential applications in the assessment and management of hypothyroidism.

Background: Previous studies indicated discrete lifestyle health metrics that benefit cardiovascular health are associated with better prognosis in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), while evidence regarding the comprehensive impact of cardiovascular health remains limited. This study aimed to investigate the association between the overall cardiovascular health indicator, Life's Essential 8 (LE8), and the adverse outcomes of IBD.
Materials And Methods: We included 3,232 IBD participants recruited from the UK Biobank between 2006 and 2010.

Due to the complexity of the tumor microenvironment (TME), current tumor treatments cannot achieve satisfactory results. A nanocomposite material, UCNPs@PVP-Hemin-GOx@CaCO (UPHGC NPs) is developed that responds to the TME and controls release to achieve multimodal synergistic therapy in tumor tissues. UPHGC NPs mediate photodynamic therapy (PDT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), and starvation therapy (ST) synergistically, ultimately inducing self-amplification of ferroptosis.

Introduction: The proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9/lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (PCSK9/LOX-1) axis plays a crucial role in regulating vascular endothelial cell function, but its specific involvement in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains unclear. This study aims to explore the potential mechanism of the PCSK9/LOX-1 axis in high-glucose (HG)-induced vascular endothelial cell dysfunction.
Material And Methods: Peripheral blood samples were collected from T2DM patients to analyse the correlation between PCSK9 and blood lipid levels.

Carotenoids are natural micronutrients found in plants and microorganisms, but not synthesized by animals. Carotenoids show various biological activities, including antioxidant properties, regulation of cell growth, and modulation of gene expression and immune responses. The rising global incidence of fatty liver disease (FLD) and obesity highlights the importance of carotenoids in chronic progressive conditions.

Background: Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is a prevalent condition associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CVD mortality. Due to the limited clinical applicability of MetS, the standardized continuous metabolic syndrome severity score (cMetS-S) has the potential to provide continuous assessment of metabolic risk.
Objectives: This study evaluated the optimal cMetS-S cut-off points in the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS) for predicting CVD and CVD mortality.
