Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) and gout cohabitation severely reduces patient life quality while raising financial burden on individual and society. The aim of this study was to elucidate the association between physical activity (PA) and the prevalence of gout among type 2 DM (T2DM) and hyperuricemia (HUA) patients. Methods: In all, we recruited 2291 T2DM patients with HUA. Among them, 448 had gout and 1843 did not. We collected patient data, such as anthropometry, laboratory reports, and medical history, for our analyses. The PA assessment was based on the Chinese version of International PA Questionnaire-short (IPAQ). Moreover, the relationship between PA and gout risk was examined using multivariate logistic regression models. Results: Total PA was markedly low among gout patients, relative to controls (p < 0.05). Based on the IPAQ categorical score, 38.2% exhibited "low," 26.8% "moderate," and 35.0% "high" PA among gout patients. In comparison, 12.4% performed "low," 53.8% "moderate," and 33.8% "high" PA among controls. Multivariate analysis revealed that, after adjustment of confounding factors, both low (OR 6.382) and high PA (OR 2.048) had a higher prevalence of gout, as compared to moderate PA. Moreover, we revealed that the male sex, age, HUA duration, serum uric acid, glycated hemoglobin, dyslipidemia history, and drinking status were also independent indicators of the prevalence of gout. Furthermore, stratification analyses revealed results consistent with our prior results. Conclusions: PA intensity was associated with the prevalence of gout among T2DM and HUA patients, and the lowest prevalence was achieved from moderate intensity PA. Key Points • PA intensity was associated with the prevalence of gout among T2DM and HUA patients. • The lowest prevalence of gout was achieved from moderate intensity PA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The objective of this research was to explore the associations between dietary PUFAs intake and hyperuricemia risk. Based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003–2015, all eligible individuals were divided into hyperuricemia and non-hyperuricemia groups based on diagnostic criteria for hyperuricemia (serum uric acid >420 μmol/L for men and >360 μmol/L for women). Multivariate-adjusted logistic regression was employed to explore the relationship between dietary PUFAs intake and hyperuricemia risk. Total PUFAs and their subtypes were modeled to isocalorically replace saturated fatty acids (SFAs) and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs). Higher intake of n-3 PUFAs, n-6 PUFAs, linoleic acid (LA), alpha-linoleic acid (ALA), and non-marine PUFAs intake correlated with decreased hyperuricemia risk, with adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95%CIs) were 0.77 (0.63, 0.93), 0.75 (0.61, 0.92), 0.75 (0.61, 0.91), 0.69 (0.55, 0.87), and 0.73 (0.59, 0.91), respectively. Replacing 5% of total energy intake from SFAs with isocaloric PUFAs was associated with decreased odds of hyperuricemia in men (0.69 (0.57, 0.84)) and in individuals (0.81 (0.71, 0.92)). Similar trends were observed in the substitution of SFAs with non-marine PUFAs in men (0.87 (0.80, 0.94)) and in all individuals (0.92 (0.88, 0.98)). Sensitivity analyses exhibited consistent results with primary analyses. Higher dietary intake of n-3 PUFAs, n-6 PUFAs, LA, ALA, and non-marine PUFAs was associated with decreased hyperuricemia risk. These results support the recommendation to substitute SFAs with PUFAs in diet. • Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) intake negatively related to hyperuricemia. • Higher non-marine PUFAs intake correlate with decreased hyperuricemia prevalence. • Replacing saturated fatty acids with PUFAs negatively related to hyperuricemia risk.

- Abstract
Background: Evidence shows that cancer patients are more likely to have hyperuricemia (HUA) compared to the general population, with lipid metabolism playing a significant role. However, it is still unclear whether there is a non-linear relationship between the non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHHR) and HUA in these patients. This study aims to explore the association between NHHR and HUA in cancer patients. Methods: This study included participants from the NHANES database from 2007 to 2018. We used multivariable logistic regression, restricted cubic splines (RCS) analysis, and subgroup analysis to examine the association between NHHR and HUA and gout in cancer patients, as well as to investigate differences in this association among specific subgroups. Results: A total of 2826 participants were included, with a HUA prevalence of 24.30%. Weighted multivariable logistic regression showed that for each unit increase in NHHR, the odds of HUA in cancer patients increased by 16% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.06, 1.29, P = 0.002). When NHHR was divided into tertiles, those in the highest tertile (Q3) had a 1.84 times higher odds of developing HUA compared to those in the lowest tertile (Q1) (95% CI: 1.32, 2.58, P < 0.001). However, there was no significant association with gout. RCS analysis further revealed a significant non-linear positive association, particularly among males. Subgroup analysis and interaction tests indicated a stronger association in cancer patients who did not have a history of stroke. Conclusion: There is a non-linear association between NHHR and HUA in cancer patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Recent years have seen the emergence of numerous novel indicators for visceral obesity. This study investigates the potential correlation between the Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI) and hyperuricemia (HUA). Methods: This research, derived from a 2011 cross-sectional analysis in Dalian, China, employed restricted cubic spline (RCS) plots to identify inflection points. Subsequently, one-way and multifactorial logistic regression models were utilized, with HUA as the outcome variable. Additionally, subgroup analyses and interaction tests were conducted. Eventually, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were calculated to assess the effectiveness of CVAI and other body composition indices in predicting HUA. Results: The study included 10,061 individuals, with a HUA prevalence of 14.25%. Significant relationships with HUA were observed for CVAI. RCS analysis revealed a J-shaped relationship between CVAI and HUA. Compared to those in the low CVAI category, HUA was notably associated with individuals in the high CVAI category in multifactorial logistic regression (OR = 2.661, 95% CI: 2.323, 3.047). Subgroup analyses demonstrated stronger relationships in women, participants without hypertension, and participants without diabetes. Additional modeling via ROC curves suggested that the CVAI may offer effective predictive value for HUA. Conclusion: This study confirmed that an elevated CVAI elevates the risk of HUA in middle-aged and elderly populations in the Dalian community. The findings advance obesity prevention strategies that mitigate HUA risk and support healthcare initiatives for China's aging population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives: To explore the relationship between estradiol (E2) and the incidence of hyperuricemia (HUA) in adult women and to explore whether glucolipid metabolism disorders play a mediating role in mediating this relationship. Methods: A total of 2,941 participants aged 20-65 years were included in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013-2016. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the correlations of E2 with HUA. Multivariate linear regression analysis was performed to evaluate the associations between E2 and triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), and the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG). The restricted cubic spline (RCS) model was used to further explore the association between E2 and HUA and between TG, TC, and TyG and HUA. Mediation analyses were performed to examine whether TC, TG, and TyG mediated the relationship between E2 and HUA. Results: After adjusting for covariates, logistic regression revealed that ln(E2) was significantly associated with HUA in the female subgroup (p = 0.035) and that the incidence of HUA tended to increase with decreasing ln(E2) (p for trend = 0.026). Linear regression showed that E2 was significantly associated with TC (p = 0.032), TG (p = 0.019), and TyG (p = 0.048). The RCS model showed that ln(E2) was linearly correlated with the incidence of HUA (p-overall = 0.0106, p-non-linear = 0.3030). TC and TyG were linearly correlated with HUA (TC: p-overall = 0.0039, p-non-linear = 0.4774; TyG: p-overall = 0.0082, p-non-linear = 0.0663), whereas TG was non-linearly correlated with HUA. Mediation analyses revealed that TC, TG, and TyG significantly mediated the relationship between ln(E2) and HUA (TC, indirect effect: -0.00148, 7.5%, p = 0.008; TG, indirect effect: -0.00062, 3.1%, p = 0.004; TyG, indirect effect: -0.00113, 5.6%, p = 0.016). Conclusion: In conclusion, this study demonstrated that compared with women aged 20-45 years, women aged 45-55 years and 55-65 years had lower E2 levels and a greater incidence of HUA. E2 levels and the incidence of HUA were negatively associated in female individuals but not in male individuals. In addition, TC, TG, and TyG, which are markers of glucolipid metabolism, played a mediating role in the association between E2 and HUA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Hyperuricemia is closely linked to obesity. As lifestyles and dietary patterns evolve, the prevalence of hyperuricemia has been on the rise. Bariatric surgery, an efficacious intervention for morbid obesity and its associated metabolic disorders, not only manages the weight of patients with severe obesity but also exerts beneficial therapeutic effects on hyperuricemia and gout. Moreover, it demonstrates substantial efficacy against other obesity-related metabolic conditions. However, the dramatic fluctuations in serum uric acid levels and acute gouty attacks in the immediate postoperative period are issues that should not be overlooked, and effective preventative strategies for some related adverse complications are still underexplored. This review discusses and reviews the advancements in the treatment of obese patients with hyperuricemia through bariatric surgery. By reviewing pertinent literature, it summarizes the short-term and long-term therapeutic outcomes of bariatric surgery for hyperuricemia, as well as common adverse reactions. Furthermore, by discussing preoperative and postoperative interventional measures and influential factors, this review aims to provide novel perspectives for the clinical management of hyperuricemia and offer insights for the prevention of related complications.

LOGISTIC regression analysis ,RENIN-angiotensin system ,HYPERTENSION ,URIC acid ,GOUT - Abstract
Background: Prior research has highlighted the association between uric acid (UA) and the activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). However, the specific relationship between aldosterone, the RAAS's end product, and UA-related diseases remains poorly understood. This study aims to clarify the impact of aldosterone on the development and progression of hyperuricemia and gout in hypertensive patients. Methods: Our study involved 34534 hypertensive participants, assessing plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC)'s role in UA-related diseases, mainly hyperuricemia and gout. We applied multiple logistic regression to investigate the impact of PAC and used restricted cubic splines (RCS) for examining the dose-response relationship between PAC and these diseases. To gain deeper insights, we conducted threshold analyses, further clarifying the nature of this relationship. Finally, we undertook subgroup analyses to evaluate PAC's effects across diverse conditions and among different subgroups. Results: Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed a significant correlation between the occurrence of hyperuricemia and gout and the elevation of PAC levels. Compared to the first quartile (Q1) group, groups Q2, Q3, and Q4 all exhibited a significantly increased risk of occurrence. Moreover, the conducted RCS analysis demonstrated a significant nonlinear dose-response relationship, especially when PAC was greater than 14 ng/dL, with a further increased risk of hyperuricemia and gout. Finally, comprehensive subgroup analyses consistently reinforced these findings. Conclusion: This study demonstrates a close association between elevated PAC levels and the development of UA-related diseases, namely hyperuricemia and gout, in hypertensive patients. Further prospective studies are warranted to confirm and validate this relationship. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives: This study aimed to explore the synergistic interaction effect between hyperuricemia and hypertension towards chronic kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: This research originates from a cross-sectional study performed in Zhejiang Province, Eastern China, between March and November 2018. The correlation between serum uric acid levels and the risk of chronic kidney disease was assessed using a restricted cubic spline model. An unconditional multivariable logistic regression model, along with an interaction table, was utilized to explore the potential interaction effect of hyperuricemia and hypertension towards chronic kidney disease. Results: 1,756 patients with type 2 diabetes were included in this study, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) was 27.62% in this population. A Ushaped non-linear pattern emerged correlating serum uric acid (SUA) levels and CKD risk, indicating that both low and high SUA levels were linked to an increased CKD risk. This risk achieved its lowest point (nadir) at SUA approximately equals to 285mmol/L (p for trend <0.05). Once adjustments for age, gender, education level, abnormal fasting plasma glucose (FPG), abnormal hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), abnormal total cholesterol (TC), abnormal high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), alcohol consumption and duration of diabetes were factored in, it was found that patients with both hyperuricemia and hypertension demonstrated a 5.42-fold (95% CI: 3.72--7.90) increased CKD risk compared to the reference group. The additive interaction between hyperuricemia and hypertension was statistically significant, as manifested by the following values: a relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI) of 2.57 (95% CI: 0.71--4.71), an attributable proportion due to interaction (AP) of 0.47 (95% CI: 0.14--0.64), and a synergy index (SI) of 2.39 (95% CI: 1.24--4.58). In contrast, there was no significant interaction effect in multiplicative scale. Conclusion: Hyperuricemia and hypertension may contribute additively to CKD, beyond their isolated impacts. Evaluating the risk of CKD in type 2 diabetes patients necessitates considering this potential interaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The bidirectional effect of hyperuricemia on chronic kidney disease (CKD) underscores the importance of hyperuricemia as a risk factor for CKD. We evaluated the effect of hyperuricemia on the presence and development of CKD after considering genetic background by calculating polygenic risk scores (PRSs). We employed genome-wide association study summary statistics—excluding the United Kingdom Biobank (UKB) datasets among published CKD Gen Consortium papers—to calculate the PRSs for CKD in white background subjects. To validate PRS performance, we divided the UKB into two datasets to validate and test the data. We used logistic regression analysis to evaluate the association between hyperuricemia and CKD, and performed Kaplan–Meier survival analysis exclusively for subjects with available follow-up data. In total, 438,253 clinical data and 4,307,940 single nucleotide polymorphisms from 459,155 samples were included. We observed a significant positive association between PRS and CKD and the presence and development of CKD. Hyperuricemia significantly increased CKD risk (adjusted odds ratio 1.55, 95% confidence interval 1.48–1.61). The impact of hyperuricemia on CKD was maintained irrespective of PRS range. In addition, negative interaction between hyperuricemia and PRS for CKD was found. Survival analysis indicates that the presence of hyperuricemia significantly increased the risk of CKD development. The PRS for CKD thoroughly reflects the risk of CKD development. Hyperuricemia is a significant indicator of CKD risk, even after incorporating the genetic risk score for CKD. Irrespective of genetic risk, patients with a prospective risk of developing CKD require uric acid monitoring and management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: We aimed to probe the association of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations with all-cause and cause-specific mortality among patients with gout and hyperuricemia (HUA). Methods: The study included 1169 gout patients and 7029 HUA patients from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007–2018 and 2001–2018, respectively. The association between serum 25(OH)D and mortality was evaluated by Cox proportional hazard and restricted cubic spline models. Results: Among participants with gout and HUA, the weighted mean concentrations of serum 25(OH)D were 71.49 ± 30.09 nmol/L and 64.81 ± 26.92 nmol/L, respectively. Vitamin D deficiency occurred in 29.68% of gout patients and 37.83% of HUA patients. During 6783 person-years of follow-up among gout patients, 248 all-cause deaths occurred, among which 76 died from cardiovascular disease (CVD) and 49 died from cancer. 1375 HUA patients were recorded for all-cause mortality during 59,859 person-years of follow-up, including 427 CVD deaths and 232 cancer deaths. After multifactorial adjustment, per one-unit increment in natural log-transformed 25(OH)D was associated with lower risk of 55% all-cause mortality and 61% CVD mortality among gout patients, and a 45% reduced risk of cancer mortality among HUA patients. Restricted cubic splines showed a U-shaped relationship with all-cause and CVD mortality among HUA patients, with inflection points of 72.7 nmol/L and 38.0 nmol/L, respectively. The results were robust in subgroup and sensitivity analyses. Conclusions: Serum 25(OH)D was negatively linearly correlated with mortality among gout patients, whereas U-shaped correlated with mortality in HUA patients. These results indicate that adequate vitamin D status could prevent premature death. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aim: Stroke is a leading cause of disability and fatality. While clinical and imaging methods are commonly used in stroke management, biochemical parameters such as serum uric acid (SUA) level are largely overlooked. This study aimed to examine the relationship between high or low SUA levels and both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Material and Methods: This is a retrospective, single-center observational study. The study included all consecutive patients who were consulted from the emergency department (ED) to neurology and/or neurosurgery between January 1, 2023, and December 31, 2023. Data of the patients were obtained from the hospital computer system and ED records. While SUA levels of ≤2.8 mg/dL indicated hypouricemia, levels of ≥7 mg/dL were considered hyperuricemia. Results: A total of 1186 adult patients were included in the study. It was observed that 484 of them were diagnosed with stroke, 394 were ischemic stroke, and 90 were hemorrhagic stroke. Stroke patients had higher median SUA levels (p<0.001). The median SUA level of ischemic stroke patients was higher than hemorrhagic stroke patients (p<0.001). Hyperuricemia increased the risk of ischemic stroke 2.4-fold (OR: 2.402, 95% CI: 1.792-3.221, p<0.001). Hypouricemia decreased the risk of ischemic stroke (OR: 0.272, 95% CI: 0.129-0.577, p<0.001). Conclusion: SUA levels are associated with stroke and ischemic stroke. Hyperuricemia may be useful as an additional parameter to strengthen the diagnosis of possible stroke in ED. SUA levels of patients at risk for stroke can be useful in terms of follow-up of these patients and the precautions to be planned. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D and cognitive impairment and emotional disorder in patients with cerebral small vessel disease is unknown. This retrospective study included, 504 Chinese patients with cerebral small vessel disease admitted to the Department of Neurology of the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University between June 2019 and October 2021. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (14 items) scores were utilized to divide the patients into four groups. The multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that low 25-hydroxyvitamin D, high homocysteine, hyperuricemia, severity of white matter lesions, and a history of hypertension were independent risk factors for cognitive impairment among patients with cerebral small vessel disease. However, a high level of education is a protective factor. Furthermore, the level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D was significantly associated with the changes in brain functional regions. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D is a promising biomarker for predicting cognitive and emotional disorders in patients with cerebral small vessel disease and is highly associated with alterations in brain functional regions.

Context: Although the crystallization of monosodium urate monohydrate (MSUM) has a crucial role in the occurrence of gout, which is an inflammatory arthritis disease, theoretical models have not been able to describe all features observed in its seeded growth kinetics. In contrast to previous modeling approaches, we show that our model can reproduce qualitative features typically observed in experiments. In particular, our results show that the higher the initial supersaturation and the lower the viscosity, the faster the crystallization kinetics, and they also indicate that there are distinct growth regimes for low and high concentrations of seeds. Methods: In this work, we introduce an alternative approach based on a master equation that allows us to incorporate hypotheses for the seeded growth crystallization of MSUM in a more transparent way. Such an approach includes not only effects that are related to the finite time-dependent supersaturation and concentration of seeds, but it can also be used to determine how the viscosity of the solution can affect the crystallization kinetics of MSUM molecules.

Sodium glucose cotransporter inhibitor (SGLTi) drugs have been widely used in clinical practice. In addition to their benefits in hyperglycemia, heart failure (HF), and kidney disease, their effects on obesity, metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD, formerly named nonalcoholic fatty liver disease [NAFLD]), polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), abnormal lipid metabolism, hyperuricemia, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), anemia, and syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (SIAD, formerly named syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone [SIADH]) have been explored. In this review, we searched the data of clinical randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and meta‐analyses of SGLTis in patients with diabetes from the PubMed library between January 1, 2020, and February 1, 2024. According to our review, certain SGLTis exhibit relatively superior clinical safety and effectiveness for treating the abovementioned diseases. Proper utilization of SGLTis in these patients can provide additional medication options for patients with different disease scenarios. However, studies of SGLTis in these diseases are relatively rare, with shortcomings such as small sample sizes and short intervention periods. Therefore, further large‐scale, long‐term, well‐designed studies are needed to clarify the findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Gout is characterized by monosodium urate (MSU) crystal deposition secondary to hyperuricemia. Gout is associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its related comorbid conditions such as cardiovascular disease (CVD). Major advances have been made in the comprehension of the link between MetS and gout. Despite observational studies suggesting an association between MetS-related conditions and hyperuricemia, there is no proof of causality. Most studies using Mendelian randomization did not find hyperuricemia as a causal factor for MetS-related conditions. In contrast, these conditions were found associated with hyperuricemia, which suggests a reverse causality. Among patients with gout, this high CVD risk profile implies the need for systematic screening for MetS-related conditions. Most international guidelines recommend systematic screening for and care of CVD and related risk factors in patients with gout. Some anti-hypertensive agents, such as losartan and calcium channel blockers, are able to decrease serum urate (SU) levels. However, there are potential interactions between gout management therapies and the treatment of metabolic diseases. Some data suggest that anti-inflammatory drugs used for gout flare treatment, such as colchicine or canakinumab, might have benefits for CVD. Regarding the impact of urate-lowering therapies on CVD risk, recent studies found a similar CVD safety profile for allopurinol and febuxostat. Finally, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors are promising for gout because of their ability to decrease SU levels and risk of recurrent flares. In this review, we focus on the clinical challenge of managing MetS in patients with gout, particularly older patients with co-medications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Plantaginis semen is the dried ripe seed of Plantago asiatica L. or Plantago depressa Willd., which has a long history in alleviating hyperuricemia (HUA) and chronic kidney diseases. While the major chemical ingredients and mechanism remained to be illustrated. Therefore, this work aimed to elucidate the chemicals and working mechanisms of PS for HUA. UPLC-QE-Orbitrap-MS was applied to identify the main components of PS in vitro and in vivo. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was conducted to explore the gene expression profile, and the genes involved were further confirmed by real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). A total of 39 components were identified from PS, and 13 of them were detected in the rat serum after treating the rat with PS. The kidney tissue injury and serum uric acid (UA), xanthine oxidase (XOD), and cytokine levels were reversed by PS. Meanwhile, renal urate anion transporter 1 (Urat1) and glucose transporter 9 (Glut9) levels were reversed with PS treatment. RNA-seq analysis showed that the PPAR signaling pathway; glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism signaling pathway; and fatty acid metabolism signaling pathway were significantly modified by PS treatment. Further, the gene expression of Slc7a8, Pck1, Mgll, and Bhmt were significantly elevated, and Fkbp5 was downregulated, consistent with RNA-seq results. The PPAR signaling pathway involved Pparα, Pparγ, Lpl, Plin5, Atgl, and Hsl were elevated by PS treatment. URAT1 and PPARα proteins levels were confirmed by Western blotting. In conclusion, this study elucidates the chemical profile and working mechanisms of PS for prevention and therapy of HUA and provides a promising traditional Chinese medicine agency for HUA prophylaxis.

- Abstract
Male fertility and metabolic disorders, including obesity and diabetes, are closely connected. Since hyperuricemia and metabolic syndrome are strongly related, male fertility and hyperuricemia may, to some degree, be associated. According to recent studies, hyperuricemia imposes various effects on sex hormones, semen quality, and male erectile dysfunction. Some researchers claim that uric acid worsens male semen and raises the risk of erectile dysfunction (ED), while others state that it safeguards both penile erection and male semen. Additionally, it has been shown that gout and metabolic syndrome also raise the risk of ED. To clarify this controversy, the influence and potential mechanisms of hyperuricemia on ED, semen quality, sex hormone levels, and the effects of hyperuricemia-related disorders on ED will be comprehensively summarized.

Objectives: The weight-adjusted waist circumference index (WWI), a novel obesity indicator, gives better accuracy in assessing both muscle and fat mass. Our goal was to evaluate the relationship between WWI and the occurrence of hyperuricemia/gout among middle-aged and older adults in America. Methods: We analyzed the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from the 2007–2014 cycles. Logistic regression analyses, subgroup analyses, and restricted cubic splines (RCS) were performed to evaluate the association between WWI and hyperuricemia/gout prevalence. Results: A total of 5332 adults aged 50 years and above were included in this study. The prevalence of hyperuricemia and gout was 23.20% and 6.70% respectively. The fourth quartile of WWI was associated with a 56% higher risk for hyperuricemia, compared with the first quartile (OR = 1.56, 95% CI 1.07–2.27, P trend < 0.001). A similar association was found between continuous WWI increase and OR of hyperuricemia in the fully adjusted model (OR = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.13–1.61, P < 0.05). However, WWI was not significantly associated with the prevalence of gout. The RCS model suggested a significant linear relationship between WWI and the risk of hyperuricemia/gout. Stratification analysis showed that the positive associations of WWI with the risk of hyperuricemia were more pronounced in participants who were women, aged 50–59, smokers, no physical activity, non-diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. Conclusions: Our findings suggest a positive correlation between WWI and hyperuricemia among middle-aged and older adults in America. Employing WWI as a tool for hyperuricemia prevention may be meaningful. Key Points • Weight-adjusted waist circumference index is a new obesity evaluation index. • Weight-adjusted waist circumference index is associated with hyperuricemia not gout. • The association is more pronounced in participants who were women, aged 50–59, smokers, no physical activity, non-diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia.

Background: We investigate whether Intensive uric acid (UA)-lowering therapy (ULT) provides increased renal protection compared with standard therapy in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Methods: This was a multicenter randomized controlled trial. Only CKD patients with hyperuricemia were included in this study. The participants were randomly assigned to either the Intensive therapy group (target serum UA level ≥ 4.0 mg/dL and < 5.0 mg/dL) or the standard therapy group (serum UA level ≥ 6.0 mg/dL and < 7.0 mg/dL). ULT was performed using topiroxostat, a non-purine-type selective xanthine oxidase inhibitor. The primary endpoint was change in the logarithmic value of urine albumin to the creatinine ratio (ACR) between baseline and week 52 of the treatment. Results: Three hundred fifty-two patients were included in the full analysis set. In the Standard therapy group, mean serum UA was 8.23 mg/dL at baseline and 6.13 mg/dL at 52 weeks. In the Intensive therapy group, mean serum UA was 8.15 mg/dL at baseline and 5.25 mg/dL at 52 weeks. There was no significant difference in changes in log ACR at 52 weeks between the Intensive therapy and the Standard therapy groups. Conclusion: This study did not reveal the benefit of Intensive ULT to improve albuminuria levels. (UMIN000026741 and jRCTs051180146). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Improving the activity of uricase and lowering its immunogenicity remain significant challenges in the enzyme replacement management of hyperuricemia and related inflammatory diseases. Herein, an immunogenicity-masking strategy based on engineered red blood cells (RBCs) was developed for effective uricase delivery against both hyperuricemia and gout. The dynamic membrane of RBCs enabled high resistance to protease inactivation and hydrogen peroxide accumulation. Benefiting from these advantages, a single infusion of RBC-loaded uricase (Uri@RBC) performed prolonged blood circulation and sustained hyperuricemia management. Importantly, RBCs masked the immunogenicity of uricase, leading to the maintenance of UA-lowering performance after repeated infusion through reduced antibody-mediated macrophage clearance. In an acute gout model, Uri@RBC profoundly alleviated joint edema and inflammation with minimal systemic toxicity. This study supports the employment of immunogenicity-masking tools for efficient and safe enzyme delivery, and this strategy may be leveraged to improve the usefulness of enzyme replacement therapies for managing a wide range of inflammatory diseases.

Background: Evidence regarding the association between hyperuricemia and arrhythmia recurrence after catheter ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) is scarce. We investigated whether hyperuricemia predicts arrhythmia recurrence after catheter ablation for paroxysmal AF and the relationship between hyperuricemia and alcohol consumption in AF recurrence. Methods: Patients who underwent catheter ablation for paroxysmal AF were divided into the hyperuricemia (index serum uric acid [UA] >7.0 mg/dL; n = 114) and control (UA ≤7.0 mg/dL; n = 609) groups and were followed for a median of 24 (12–48) months after ablation. Results: The hyperuricemia group had more patients with an alcohol intake of ≥20 g/day (33.3% vs. 22.7%, p =.017) and a lower incidence of AF‐free survival (p =.019). Similarly, those with an alcohol intake of ≥20 g/day had a lower incidence of AF‐free survival than other patients. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed the following independent predictors of AF recurrence (adjusted hazard ratio, 95% confidence interval): hyperuricemia (1.64, 1.12–2.40), female gender (1.91, 1.36–2.67), brain natriuretic peptide level >100 pg/mL (1.59, 1.14–2.22), and alcohol consumption ≥20 g/day (1.49, 1.03–2.15) (all p <.05). In addition, causal mediation analysis revealed that alcohol consumption of ≥20 g/day directly affected AF recurrence, independent of hyperuricemia. Conclusions: Patients with hyperuricemia may be at a high risk of arrhythmia recurrence after catheter ablation for paroxysmal AF. Although high alcohol consumption may contribute to increased UA levels, the presence of hyperuricemia may independently predict AF recurrence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Currently, the relationship between dynamic changes in dietary manganese (Mn) intake and risk of hyperuricemia (HU) is still unclear. This study aimed to identify dietary Mn consumption trajectories in the Chinese adults and assess their relation with the risk of HU. Cohort data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) 1997–2009 were employed in this study. Overall, 6886 adult participants were included. Participants were designated into subgroups based on the trajectories of dietary Mn consumption by sex. Cox proportional hazard models were used to explore the associations between different trajectories and the risk of HU. For men, compared with low stable trajectory group, moderate to high trajectory group was significantly related to reduced risk of HU (HR = 0.61, 95% CI: 0.38 to 0.98) with adjustment for covariates. TC, HDL-C, ApoB, and TG exerted partial regulation function between trajectories and HU. For women, compared with low stable trajectory group, high stable trajectory group was significantly related to reduced risk of HU (HR = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.60 to 0.95) with adjustment for covariates. Similarly, TC, HDL-C, ApoB, and ApoA exerted partial regulation function between trajectories and HU. Long-term relatively high dietary Mn consumption may have a protective effect against HU in Chinese adults. The differences in HU-related factors among different dietary Mn intake trajectories partially regulated the association between these trajectories and HU. • This study is the first to investigate the relationship between the dynamic change of dietary Mn intake and HU risk. • Long-term relatively high dietary Mn intake may have a protective effect against HU in Chinese adults. • The association between dietary Mn intake trajectories and HU is partially regulated by HU-related factors.

- Abstract
Purpose of Review: To highlight novel findings in the detection of monosodium urate deposits in vessels using dual energy computed tomography, and to discuss the potential clinical implications for gout and hyperuricemia patients. Recent Findings: Gout is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, classical risk calculators do not take into account these hazards, and parameters to identify patients at risk are lacking. Monosodium urate measured by dual energy computed tomography is a well-established technology for the detection and quantification of monosodium urate deposits in peripheral joints and tendons. Recent findings also suggest its applicability to identify vascular urate deposits. Summary: Dual energy computed tomography is a promising tool for detection of cardiovascular monosodium urate deposits in gout patients, to better delineate individuals at increased risk for cardiovascular disease.

Hyperuricemia (HUA) is a common chronic metabolic disease caused by abnormal purine metabolism and uric acid excretion. Despite extensive research on HUA, no clear treatment has been found so far. Improving purine metabolism and promoting uric acid excretion is crucial for the effective treatment of HUA. In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions have shown good effects in treating HUA. This article summarizes the latest progress in treating HUA in rats and mice using traditional Chinese medicine and prescriptions, elaborates on the pathogenesis of HUA, explores the application of commonly used traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods and prescriptions, and discusses the previous pharmacological mechanisms. In general, our research indicates that traditional Chinese medicine can effectively relieve the symptoms related to elevated uric acid levels in HUA rats and mice. However, further exploration and research are needed to verify its efficacy, safety, and feasibility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: Although hand synovitis is prevalent in the older population, the etiology remains unclear. Hyperuricemia, a modifiable metabolic disorder, may serve as an underlying mechanism of hand synovitis, but little is known about their relationship. We assessed the association between hyperuricemia and hand synovitis in a large population‐based sample. Methods: We performed a cross‐sectional study in Longshan County, Hunan Province, China. Hyperuricemia was defined as a serum urate level >420 μmol/L in men and >360 μmol/L in women. Ultrasound examinations were performed on both hands of 4,080 participants, and both gray‐scale synovitis and the Power Doppler signal (PDS) were assessed using semiquantitative scores (grades 0–3). We evaluated the association of hyperuricemia with hand gray‐scale synovitis (grade ≥2) and PDS (grade ≥1), respectively, adjusting for age, sex, and body mass index. Results: All required assessments for analysis were available for 3,286 participants. The prevalence of hand gray‐scale synovitis was higher among participants with hyperuricemia (30.0%) than those with normouricemia (23.3%), with an adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of 1.28 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.00–1.62). Participants with hyperuricemia also had a higher prevalence of PDS (aOR 2.36; 95% CI 1.15–4.81). Furthermore, hyperuricemia positively associated, both at the hand and joint levels, with the presence of gray‐scale synovitis (aOR 1.27; 95% CI 1.00–1.60 and adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR] 1.26; 95% CI 1.10–1.44, respectively) and PDS (aOR 2.35; 95% CI 1.15–4.79 and aPR 2.34; 95% CI 1.28–4.30, respectively). Conclusion: This population‐based study provides more evidence for a positive association between hyperuricemia and prevalent hand synovitis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: This study aimed to assess the association between Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) score and death among adults with hyperuricemia. Methods: We collected data from the 2001 to 2018 cohorts of the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey. Death information was obtained based on death certificate records from the National Death Index through December 31, 2019. The associations between DII score and all‐cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and cancer death were investigated by using Cox proportional hazards regression models. Results: We enrolled 7,786 participants with hyperuricemia in this study. The DII score ranged from −4.42 to 4.61. Higher DII score was significantly associated with higher levels of body mass index, glycohemoglobin, glucose, low‐density lipoprotein–cholesterol, and C‐reactive protein (all P < 0.05). During 67,851 person‐years of follow‐up, deaths of 1,456 participants were identified, including 532 CVD deaths and 246 cancer deaths. After adjusting for potential variables, significant higher risk of all‐cause (hazard ratio [HR] 1.18, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.03–1.36, P = 0.01) and CVD (HR 1.30, 95% CI 1.03–1.63, P = 0.02) death was observed for individuals with higher DII scores. Considering the DII score as a continuous variable, the risk of all‐cause and CVD death increases 5% (HR 1.05, 95% CI 1.01–1.08) and 8% (HR 1.08, 95% CI 1.02–1.15) with each one‐unit increment in DII score, respectively. Subgroup analysis indicated that the association between DII score and all‐cause death among participants with hyperuricemia was more significant in males. Conclusion: DII score is found to be positively associated with all‐cause and CVD death of adults with hyperuricemia. Controlling the intake of proinflammatory food might be a potential strategy to reduce the mortality rate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Hyperuricaemia (HUA), one of chronic diseases, has an increased prevalence and is related to diseases such as gout, arthritis, infectious diseases, etc. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the gut is considered as an atypical chronic disease, and poses risk to human health. The gut microbiome has been proved to be a reservoir for AMR and play an important role in HUA patients. The microbial characteristics of the gut in individuals with HUA have been previously explored, however, the characteristics of the resistome in individuals with HUA have remained largely unexplored. Methods: Thus, we investigated the landscape of the AMR in individuals with HUA and without HUA, and the potentially influential factors in a case-control study using metagenomics-based approaches. Results: We found that drinking juice and abnormal stool were risk factors associated with HUA. The taxonomic diversity of gut microbiota in individuals with HUA was lower than that in non-HUA individuals. Notably, a higher abundance and diversity of the resistome (entire antimicrobial resistance genes) was observed in individuals with HUA (median: 1.10 vs. 0.76, P = 0.039, U-test), especially in tetracycline resistance genes (median: 0.46 vs. 0.20, P < 0.001, U-test), which are associated with more complex mobile genetic elements (MGEs) in individuals with HUA. Furthermore, we found that a higher abundance of the resistome was positively correlated with uric acid (UA) levels and affected by several host-associated factors (mainly dietary habits). Specifically, pork consumption and the consumption of root and tuber vegetables were identified as contributing factors. We also found a higher abundance of virulence genes (VGs), mostly related to adherence, antimicrobial activity, competitive advantage, and exoenzymes, in the gut microbial community of individuals with HUA. Discussion: All findings revealed higher activity of the resistome and pathogenicity of the microbiota in individuals with HUA, indicating a higher health risk in the elderly HUA population.

Objective To investigate the status quo and influencing factors of knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of hyperuricemia health management in community medical staff, and to put forward improvement strategies for enhancing the community health management of hyperuricemia. Methods A mixed methodology of both qualitative and quantitative research was employed in the study. In August 2022, the convenience sampling method was adopted to conduct a questionnaire survey on the knowledge and practice of hyperuricemia health intervention among 193 medical staff in Guangzhou community health service centers, to understand the knowledge and health management behavior of primary medical staff on hyperuricemia health management. Objective sampling method was used to conduct semi-structured interviews with 14 community medical workers to understand the status quo of community health management of hyperuricemia. Results The results of quantitative study showed that the knowledge and practice scores of community medical staff on health management of hyperuricemia were (73.60 ± 10.06) . There was a significant positive correlation between knowledge, attitude and practice of hyperuricemia management (P < 0.01) . Age, education background, occupation and participation in hyperuricemia management training were the influencing factors of health management knowledge, attitude and practice scores (P < 0.05) . The qualitative study found that the community focused on treatment rather than prevention of hyperuricemia health management, lacked effective incentive mechanism and did not realize quality division of labor cooperation within the team, and residents were not very active in participating in hyperuricemia health management activities. Conclusion The knowledge of hyperuricemia management of community health care workers was at a medium level, and the attitude towards hyperuricemia health intervention was positive, but the behavioral score was not ideal, the breadth and depth of community hyperuricemia health management services were insufficient, and the cooperation of residents was low. In the future, it is necessary to strengthen the training and practical guidance for community health care workers in hyperuricemia health management, optimize the functional deployment of community health management teams, enrich the connotation of health management services, and improve the level of community hyperuricemia health management.

Background: In this study, we examine the association between the hyperuricemia(HU) and hypertension(HTN) in Chinese young adults. Besides, the correlation between the occurrence of thickened left ventricular wall and HU was identified in patients with HTN. Methods: In all, 360 patients with HTN and 1991 young adults with normal blood pressure(NBP) were enrolled in the study. Participant characteristics were collected. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression tests were utilized to identify the correlation between the presence of HU and HTN, and the correlation between the occurrence of thickened ventricular septum and HU in patients with HTN. Results: The prevalence of HU in Chinese young adults with HTN was significantly higher than young adults with NBP(36.39% vs. 16.93%). Univariable analyses revealed that 8 factors were related with the presence of HTN with p value < 0.001, including HU, male, body mass index(BMI) ≥ 24 kg/m

After adjusting these covariates, multivariable analysis revealed that HU[odds ratio(OR):1.47, 95% confidence interval(CI): 1.10–1.95, p = 0.008] remained independent association with HTN in young adults. Additionally, univariable and multivariable logistic analyses revealed that HU kept the independent effect on the presence of thickened interventricular septum(adjusted OR = 1.81, 95% CI: 1.05–3.11, P = 0.03) and thickened left ventricular posterior wall(adjusted OR = 2.28, 95% CI: 1.28–4.08, P = 0.005) in young adults with HTN. Conclusion: HU was independently associated with HTN in young adults. HU was independently correlated with thickened left ventricular wall, including interventricular septum and left ventricular posterior wall, in young adults with HTN.

Background: The evidence supporting a connection between elevated serum uric acid (SUA) levels and diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is controversial. The present study performed a comprehensive evaluation of this correlation by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis of relevant research. Method: PubMed, Web of Science (WOS), Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched for published literature from the establishment of each database to January 8, 2024. In total, 5 cohort studies and 15 cross-sectional studies were included, and 2 researchers independently screened and extracted relevant data. R 4.3.0 was used to evaluate the included literature. The present meta-analysis evaluated the relationship between SUA levels and the risk of DPN in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) by calculating the ratio of means (RoM) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using the method reported by JO Friedrich, and it also analyzed continuous outcome measures using standardized mean differences (SMDs) and 95% CIs to compare SUA levels between DPN and non-DPN groups. Funnel plot and Egger's test were used to assess publication bias. Sensitivity analysis was conducted by sequentially removing each study one-by-one. Results: The meta-analysis included 20 studies, with 12,952 T2DM patients with DPN and 16,246 T2DM patients without DPN. There was a significant correlation between SUA levels and the risk of developing DPN [odds ratio (OR) = 1.23; 95% CI: 1.07-1.41; p = 0.001]. Additionally, individuals with DPN had higher levels of SUA compared to those without DPN (SMD = 0.4; 95% CI: -0.11-0.91; p < 0.01). Conclusion: T2DM patients with DPN have significantly elevated SUA levels, which correlate with a heightened risk of peripheral neuropathy. Hyperuricemia (HUA) may be a risk indicator for assessing the risk of developing DPN in T2DM patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: Hyperuricaemia and gout are common metabolic disorders. However, the causal relationships between blood metabolites and serum urate levels, as well as gout, remain unclear. A systematic evaluation of the causal connections between blood metabolites, hyperuricemia, and gout could enhance early screening and prevention of hyperuricemia and gout in clinical settings, providing novel insights and approaches for clinical treatment. Methods: In this study, we employed a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis utilizing data from a genome-wide association study involving 7,286 participants, encompassing 486 blood metabolites. Serum urate and gout data were sourced from the Chronic Kidney Disease Genetics consortium, including 288,649 participants for serum urate and 9,819 African American and 753,994 European individuals for gout. Initially, LDSC methodology was applied to identify blood metabolites with a genetic relationship to serum urate and gout. Subsequently, inverse-variance weighting was employed as the primary analysis method, with a series of sensitivity and pleiotropy analyses conducted to assess the robustness of the results. Results: Following LDSC, 133 blood metabolites exhibited a potential genetic relationship with serum urate and gout. In the primary Mendelian randomization analysis using inverse-variance weighting, 19 blood metabolites were recognized as potentially influencing serum urate levels and gout. Subsequently, the IVW pvalues of potential metabolites were corrected using the false discovery rate method. We find leucine (IVW P FDR = 0.00004), N-acetylornithine (IVW P FDR = 0.0295), N1-methyl-3-pyridone-4-carboxamide (IVW P FDR = 0.0295), and succinyl carnitine (IVW P FDR = 0.00004) were identified as significant risk factors for elevated serum urate levels. Additionally, 1-oleoylglycerol (IVW P FDR = 0.0007) may lead to a substantial increase in the risk of gout. Succinyl carnitine exhibited acceptable weak heterogeneity, and the results for other blood metabolites remained robust after sensitivity, heterogeneity, and pleiotropy testing. We conducted an enrichment analysis on potential blood metabolites, followed by a metabolic pathway analysis revealing four pathways associated with serum urate levels. Conclusion: The identified causal relationships between these metabolites and serum urate and gout offer a novel perspective, providing new mechanistic insights into serum urate levels and gout.

VITAMIN B1 , *HEALTH & Nutrition Examination Survey , *HYPERURICEMIA - Abstract
Studies investigating the relationship between dietary vitamin B1 intake and risk of Hyperuricemia (HU) are scarce, the present study aimed to examine the association of dietary vitamin B1 intake and HU among adults. This cross-sectional study included 5750 adults whose data derived from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from March 2017 to March 2020. The dietary intake of vitamin B1 was assessed using 24-h dietary recall interviews. The characteristics of study participants were grouped into five levels according to the levels of vitamin B1 quintile. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of HU, according to the vitamin B1 intake quintile for male and female separately. The dose–response relationship was determined by the restricted cubic spline (RCS). Smoothed curve fitting was used to assess serum uric acid concentration versus dietary vitamin B1 intake in the study population. The prevalence of hyperuricemia was 18.90% (20.15% and 17.79% for males and females, respectively) in the United States from March 2017 to March 2020. Multiple logistic regression analyses showed that in the male population, the HU ratio (OR) of vitamin B1 intake in Q2 to Q5 compared with the lowest quintile (Q1) was 0.75 (95% CI 0.52, 1.09), 0.70 (95% CI 0.48, 1.02), 0.66 (95% CI 0.44, 0.99) and 0.55 (95% CI 0.34, 0.90). The P for trend was 0.028. In women, the ORs for vitamin B1 intake Q2 to Q5 were 0.87 (95% CI 0.64, 1.19), 0.97 (0.68–1.38), 1.05 (0.69–1.60) and 0.75 (0.42–1.34), respectively. The P for trend was 0.876. The RCS curve revealed a linear relationship between vitamin B1 intake and the risk of hyperuricemia in men (P nonlinear = 0.401). Smoothed curve fitting demonstrated a negative association between vitamin B1 intake and serum uric acid concentration in men, whereas there was no significant association between dietary vitamin B1 intake and the risk of hyperuricemia in women. In the US adult population, dietary vitamin B1 intake was negatively associated with hyperuricemia in males. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Although patients with hyperuricemia and gout often have dyslipidemia, the effects of febuxostat, a xanthine oxidase inhibitor, on their lipid profiles are unclear. Thus, we performed a sub-analysis of the randomized PRIZE study in which the effects of febuxostat on carotid atherosclerosis were investigated in patients with hyperuricemia. The participants were randomized to the febuxostat or control group. The primary endpoint of this sub-analysis was changes in the patients' non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels from baseline to 6-month follow-up. Correlations between the changes in lipid profiles and cardiometabolic parameters were also evaluated. In total, 456 patients were included. From baseline to 6 months, non-HDL-C levels were significantly reduced in the febuxostat group (−5.9 mg/dL, 95% confidence interval [CI]: −9.1 to −2.8 mg/dL, p < 0.001), but not in the control group (−1.3 mg/dL, 95% CI: −4.4 to 1.8, p = 0.348). The reduction in non-HDL-C levels was more pronounced in women and correlated with changes in serum uric acid and estimated glomerular filtration rate levels only in the febuxostat group. In patients with hyperuricemia, febuxostat treatment was associated with reduced non-HDL-C levels from baseline to the 6-month follow-up compared to the control treatment, suggesting that the lipid-lowering effect of febuxostat should be considered when targeting dyslipidemia.

Background: Hyperuricemia (HUA) is a glo\bal public health problem. The etiology of HUA is complex and efficient and accurate assessment metrics are still lacking when conducting large-scale epidemiologic screening. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, TyG-bodymass index (BMI), TyG-waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) with the risk of HUA. Methods: Based on data collected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) in the United States and the China Health and Aging Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) in China, a total of 14,286 U.S. adults and 4,620 Chinese adultswere included in the analysis. The study examined the levels of TyG, TyG-BMI, TyG-WHtR, and TyG-WC. Multivariate logistic regression was utilized to investigate the relationships between these variables and hyperuricemia (HUA), separately. Additionally, the study used restricted cubic splines (RCS) to explore the linear associations of TyG, TyG-BMI, TyG-WHtR, TyG-WC, and HUA, separately. Results: The NHANES results showed that TyG [Q2, 1.58(1.26, 1.98); Q3, 2.36 (1.94, 2.88); Q4, 3.21 (2.61, 3.94)], TyG-BMI [Q2, 2.14 (1.74, 2.65); Q3, 3.38 (2.74, 4.17); Q4, 6.70 (5.55, 8.02)], TyG-WHtR [Q2, 1.92 (1.56, 2.36); Q3, 3.14 (2.56, 3.85); Q4, 6.28 (5.12, 7.69)], TyG-WC [Q2, 2.32 (1.85, 2.90); Q3, 3.51 (2.84, 4.34); Q4, 7.32 (5.95, 9.02)] were identified as risk factors for hyperuricemia (HUA). Similarly, the CHARLS results, when fully adjusted for covariates, indicated that TyG [Q4, 2.36 (1.08, 5.15)], TyG-BMI [Q3, 2.60 (1.05, 6.41); Q4, 3.70 (1.64, 8.32)], TyG-WHtR (Q4, 2.84 (1.23, 6.55), TyG-WC [Q4, 2.85 (1.23, 6.5)] were also risk factors for HUA. The predictive ability of each indicator for the risk of developing HUA was stronger in women than in men. Furthermore, there was an observed nonlinear relationship between TyG, TyG-BMI, TyG-WHtR, TyG-WC, and HUA in both the NHANES and CHARLS datasets (P-nonlinearity < 0.05). Conclusion: These findings suggest that TyG, TyG-BMI, TyG-WHtR and TyG-WC are associated with an increased risk of HUA. They are potential indicators for screening HUA status in the general population in China and the United States. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aimed to investigate the potential mechanisms involved in the therapeutic effects of daitongxiao (DTX) on hyperuricemia (HUA). DTX was administered to two animal models of HUA via gavage feeding: HUA quail model (a uricotelic animal with urate oxidase deficiency), treated continuously for 35 days post-HUA induction, and HUA rats (an animal with active urate oxidase), treated continuously for 28 days post-HUA induction. HUA was induced in quail by administering a solution of sterile dry yeast powder via gavage feeding, while in rats, it was induced by intragastric gavage feeding of a solution of adenine and ethambutol hydrochloride. DTX improved overall health; increased bodyweight; reduced renal index, serum urate levels, serum xanthine oxidase activity, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine; and enhanced urinary and fecal uric acid (UA) excretion in these two animal models. The results of hematoxylin and eosin and hexamine silver staining of kidney sections revealed that DTX significantly mitigated HUA-induced renal structural damage and inflammatory response. The results of quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence analyses revealed that DTX downregulated the renal expression levels of glucose transporter 9 (GLUT9) and upregulated the renal expression levels of organic anion transporters (OAT1 and OAT3) in both HUA models. Thus, the findings of this study suggest that DTX suppresses the progression of HUA by modulating the expression of the UA transporter group members. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
