ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Clinical evidences have suggested a correlation between metabolic factors and sarcopenia.Blood metabolites have been found as biological factors underlying the mechanisms of musculoskeletal disorders.However,the causal relationship between blood metabolites and sarcopenia is unclear. OBJECTIVE:To explore the causal relationship between blood metabolites and sarcopenia-related traits through a two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis and to analyze their metabolic pathways. METHODS:A dataset of 486 blood metabolites and sarcopenia-related traits was obtained from public databases.The inverse variance weighting,MR-Egger and weighted median methods were used to assess the causal relationship of blood metabolites with muscle mass and strength across genders.Sensitivity analyses,including heterogeneity and gene pleiotropy,were performed to explore the robustness of the results.Metabolic pathway analysis of potential causal relationships was performed using the Metaboanayst 5.0 tool. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 124 metabolites and sarcopenia-related traits were observed to have potential causal relationships(P<0.05).Mannose and 1-arachidonoylglycerophosphocholine were significantly causally associated with an increased muscle mass in males(P<1.03×10-4).Pentadecanoate and glycine were significantly causally associated with decreased muscle mass and muscle strength in females,respectively(P<1.03×10-4).Metabolic pathway analysis identified eight metabolic pathways associated with altered levels of muscle mass and muscle strength in sarcopenia,including the"glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism"and"Glycine,serine and threonine metabolism."The identified metabolites are considered as useful circulating metabolic biomarkers for screening and prevention of sarcopenia in clinical practice,serving as candidate molecules for future mechanistic exploration and drug target selection.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Due to the very limited ability of articular cartilage to repair itself,articular cartilage defects caused by natural degeneration or trauma often cannot be repaired on their own,which triggers or aggravates osteoarthritis and even leads to severe disability.Therefore,the repair treatment after articular cartilage injury has become an urgent clinical problem. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the hot research topics and development trends in the field of articular cartilage repair using bibliometric analysis. METHODS:Literature related to articular cartilage repair was searched from the Web of Science Core Collection from 2000 to 2023,and bibliometric and visualization analyses were carried out using VOSviewer,Citespeace and Bibliometrix R-package. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The annual publication volume in the field of articular cartilage repair shows an overall increasing trend,with the United States,China,and Germany being the top three countries in terms of publication volume,and the research institutions focus on universities and hospitals,with Harvard University,New York Hospital for Special Surgery,and Shanghai Jiao Tong University being the top three institutions in terms of publication volume.AMERICAN JOURNAL OF SPORTS MEDICINE is the journal that publishes the most research literature in the field,and BIOMATERIALS is the journal with the highest number of citations in the field."Injectable hydrogels for cartilage and bone tissue engineering"is the most cited document published in the last decade,and the author with the most publications is Madry Henning,an active author in the field.The active authors in this field have formed a number of stable research teams with each other,and the cooperation between different teams needs to be further strengthened.Intra-articular injections,high tibial osteotomies,hydrogels,drug delivery,inflammation,cartilage regeneration,and scaffolds are the current hot topics of research in this field,and the application of 3D printing technology,bio-inks,silk proteins,injectable hydrogels,and exosomes in articular cartilage repair may be the frontier of research in this field.Integrating various innovative technologies and methods for more effective,durable and functional cartilage tissue regeneration and repair,and facilitating the clinical translation of the relevant technologies and methods by conducting more high-quality clinical studies may be the future research trend in this field.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the long-term outcome and prognostic indicators of diffuse pro-liferative lupus nephritis (DPLN).Methods:The primary endpoint of long-term follow-up and factors pos- sibly influencing the outcome were analyzed retrospectively in DPLN patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University between Jan 1, 2000 and Dec 31, 2014. Patients were classified into three groups according to the evaluated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR) on the first day of admission: eGFR≥60 ml·min -1·1.73 m -2 (regular illness group); 15 ml·min -1·1.73 m -2≤eGFR<60 ml·min -1·1.73 m -2 (serious illness group); eGFR<15 ml·min -1·1.73 m -2 or dialysis (critical illness group). Clinical, histological, and outcome differences among the three groups were evaluated and compared using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) , χ2 test, Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Cox reggression analysis. Results:167 DPLN patients were studied [155 women; mean age (30±10) years; mean follow-up of (61±45) months]. Renal and patient survival of all patients was 86% at 5 years and 79% at 10 years. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed the renal and patient survival rate at 10 years in the regular illness group, serious illness group and critical illness group was 91%, 70% and 8%, respectively ( χ2=121.93, P<0.01, overall); regular illness group vs serious illness group ( χ2=4.05, P<0.05); regular illness group vs critical illness group ( χ2=97.05, P<0.01); serious illness group vs critical illness group ( χ2=52.28, P<0.01). Multivariable Cox regression analysis found that haematoglobin (Hb)<80 g/L [ HR=2.7, 95% CI(1.2, 6.3), P=0.019], eGFR<60 ml·min -1·1.73 m -2 [ HR=4.1, 95% CI(2.0, 8.2), P<0.01] and large crescents ≥30%[ HR=1.8, 95% CI (1.1, 2.9), P=0.021], were risk factors for the long-term outcome. Conclusion:DPLN patients with normal or slightly decreased renal function have a better long-term prognosis. Moderate to severe impairment of renal function, anemia and large crescents are associated with poor outcome.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the clinico-pathological characteristics, outcomes and their predictors in malignant hypertension related kidney injury with and without primary glomerular diseases.@*Methods@#Patients with clinical diagnosis of malignant hypertension, biopsy-proven kidney injury caused by malignant hypertension and complete clinical data from January 2010 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. According to clinical and renal pathology, patients were divided into malignant hypertension related kidney injury without primary nephropathy group and with primary nephropathy group. Clinico-pathological characteristics and outcomes were evaluated and compared between malignant hypertension related kidney injury with and without primary glomerular diseases.@*Results@#Totally 31 biopsy-proven kidney injury patients were analyzed. Among them, there were 18 cases with primary glomerular diseases and 13 cases without primary glomerular diseases, with age of (32.5±6.5) years old and (34.7±8.1) years old, respectively. There were 12 males in both group. The proportion of primary IgA nephropathy was higher (16/18) in the group of malignant hypertension related kidney injury with primary glomerular diseases. Malignant hypertension with primary glomerular diseases patients had lower plasma albunin level [(32.7±6.4) g/L vs (38.5±7.3) g/L, P=0.027], higher 24-hour proteinuria level [(4.03±2.71) g vs (1.45±0.98) g, P=0.002] and higher incidence rates of dysmorphic hematuria (14/18 vs 0, P=0.001) than those without primary glomerular diseases patients. Glomerular sclerosis, mesangial proliferation, tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis were more severe in malignant hypertension with primary glomerular diseases patients (all P<0.05), but the ischemic wrinkling of glomerular capillary was more severe in malignant hypertension without primary glomerular diseases (P<0.01). There were no differences of acute or chronic malignant hypertensive injury in small artery and in afferent arterioles between the two groups. Cox regression analysis showed that loss of brush-border with flattening of tubular epithelium was the predictor for renal partial recovery (HR=5.956, 95% CI 1.198-29.614, P=0.029). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that malignant hypertension patients with primary glomerular diseases had shorter renal survival time than those without primary glomerular diseases [(24.1±9.3) months vs (56.6±12.4) months], and accumulative renal survival rate of malignant hypertension patients with primary glomerular diseases was lower than that without primary glomerular diseases (11.6% vs 53.3%, Log-rank χ2=5.022, P=0.025). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that severe tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis were independent risk factors for end-stage renal disease in malignant hypertension patients (HR=5.870, 95% CI 1.372-25.112, P=0.017).@*Conclusions@#Malignant hypertension with primary glomerular diseases patients have more severe clinico-pathological renal impairment and poorer prognosis of long-term renal survival than those without primary glomerular diseases. Acute renal tubular injury (loss of brush-border with flattening of tubular epithelium) is the only predictor of renal function improvement in patients with malignant hypertension and renal impairment within one year. Tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis is a risk factor for end-stage renal disease in patients with malignant hypertension. Renal biopsy is an indispensable tool for predicting short-term and long-term renal outcomes.
