Background: Depression is associated with inflammation, and the uric acid to HDL-C cholesterol ratio (UHR) has emerged as a potential marker of increased inflammation; however, the association between UHR and depression is unclear. Therefore, we aimed to explore this association in a sample from the general US population.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 11,444 participants ≥20 years of age from the 2009-2014 NHANES database. We conducted weighted multivariate logistic regression analyses and restricted cubic spline function (RCS) models exploring the association between UHR and risk of depression, as well as subgroup analyses and tests of interaction.
Results: UHR was positively associated with depression, especially in participants who drank alcohol (interaction P < 0.05).The prevalence of depression increased by 4 % for each 1-unit increase in UHR (OR = 1.04, 95 % CI = 1.02, 1.07, P = 0.003). After dividing the UHR into quartiles compared with the lowest reference group for UHR, participants in the fourth quartile had a significantly increased risk of depression after full adjustment (OR = 1.36, 95 % CI = 1.03, 1.80, P = 0.033).There was a linear dose-response relationship between the UHR and the risk of depression (P for nonlinear = 0.744).
Limitations: As this was a cross-sectional study, we could not determine a causal relationship between UHR and depression.
Conclusion: The UHR is positively associated with an increased prevalence of depression among adults in the U.S.

Background: The association between Down syndrome (DS) and hyperuricemia has been described for a long time. The cut-off points for hyperuricemia should be determined as the upper limits of the uric acid (UA) level according to age- and gender-specific reference UA values prepared for children with DS.
Methods: This study included 238 children (140 males and 98 females) with DS, below 21 years of age, who visited our medical center from May 1991 to June 31, 2018.

Background: Smoking is a well-documented risk factor for numerous chronic diseases, and cessation is correlated with enhanced health outcomes. Nonetheless, the precise effects of smoking cessation on the health status of older adults with chronic conditions in China have not been thoroughly quantified.
Objective: This study aims to quantitatively assess the correlations between smoking cessation and enhancements in the health outcomes of elderly Chinese individuals with chronic diseases.
Optimizing n-3 PUFA dietary enrichment in slow-growing Korat chickens using lipid-based nanoparticles: Effects on growth performance, carcass traits, meat quality, meat fatty acid composition, and blood biochemical parameters.

This research aimed to investigate the optimization of lipid-based nanoparticles to improve the utilization of n-3 PUFA source in chicken diets. Three groups of slow-growing Korat chickens were reared under the same conditions and fed a diet containing 6 % rice bran oil (RBO, control group), 3 % tuna oil (3 % TO) and 3 % tuna oil in targeted lipid-based nanoparticles (3 % TO-TNP). The growth performance, carcass composition, meat quality, fatty acid profile of breast and thigh meat, hematological and plasma biochemical parameters were evaluated.

The association between chronic lung diseases (CLDs) and the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) has been extensively recognized. Nevertheless, conventional approaches for CVD risk evaluation cannot fully capture the risk factors (RFs) related to CLDs. This research sought to construct a CLD-specific CVD risk prediction model based on machine learning models and evaluate the prediction performance.

Hyperuricemia (HUA), characterized by an excessive production of uric acid (UA), poses a significant risk for various metabolic disorders and affects over one billion individuals globally. The intricate interplay between the gut microbiota and dietary constituents plays a pivotal role in maintaining UA homeostasis. Abnormal consumption of specific dietary components such as purines, fructose, or aberrant expression of urate transporters can disrupt UA balance, precipitating HUA and gout.
