RESUMO
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The assessment of visceral adiposity is of great significance for the prevention of hyperuricemia (HUA), especially in non-obese individuals. The metabolic score for visceral fat (METS-VF) is a newly proposed surrogate of visceral obesity. We aimed to evaluate the longitudinal associations of METS-VF with the risk of HUA in non-obese adults. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 16,058 non-obese adults without HUA were included for this retrospective cohort analyses. The crude incidence rate of HUA in non-obese women and men were 20.9 and 69.6 per 1000 person-years, respectively. The Cox proportional hazards model indicated that METS-VF was significantly associated with the risk of HUA in both genders. Whereas, METS-VF only had the highest HR in women, but not in men. CONCLUSIONS: METS-VF, a novel surrogate of visceral adiposity combined biochemical and anthropometric parameters, age, and gender, could be a useful tool for the hierarchical prevention and management of HUA among non-obese women.

Effects of carbon concentration and carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratio on six biocontrol fungal strains are reported in this paper. All fungal strains had extensive growth on the media supplemented with 6-12 gl(-1) carbon and C:N ratios from 10:1 to 80:1, and differed in nutrient requirements for sporulation. Except for the two strains of Paecilomyces lilacinus, all selected fungi attained the highest spore yields at a C:N ratio of 160:1 when the carbon concentration was 12 gl(-1) for Metarhizium anisopliae SQZ-1-21, 6 gl(-1) for M. anisopliae RS-4-1 and Trichoderma viride TV-1, and 8 gl(-1) for Lecanicillium lecanii CA-1-G. The optimal conditions for P. lilacinus sporulation were 8 gl(-1) carbon with a C:N ratio of 10:1 for M-14 and 12 gl(-1) carbon with a C:N ratio of 20:1 for IPC-P, respectively. The results indicated that the influence of carbon concentration and C:N ratio on fungal growth and sporulation is strain dependent; therefore, consideration for the complexity of nutrient requirements is essential for improving yields of fungal biocontrol agents.
