    Abstract Background: Nutrition plays a key role in modulating the likelihood of healthy ageing. In the present study, we aimed to conduct a systematic review to assess the impact of nutrition on healthy ageing in Asia.
    Methods: The systematic review was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews database (CRD42023408936) and conducted based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases were searched up to February 2023 without language restrictions. We included prospective cohort studies that evaluated the associations of intake of a single food or consumption of a single nutrient at midlife; adherence to various dietary patterns at midlife; and improved adherence to dietary patterns from mid- to late life with the likelihood of healthy ageing and its components.
    Results: Out of 16,373 records, we included 71 papers comprising 24 cohorts from Singapore, China, Japan, and Thailand. The healthy ageing components included cognitive function, physical function, and depression. The majority of studies supported the observation that the likelihood of healthy ageing and its components in late life was positively increased by a higher consumption of healthy foods, such as vegetables, fruits, fish, nuts, legumes, tea, milk, and dairy, at midlife, and also by greater adherence to dietary patterns with high diversity scores or high total antioxidant capacities. Furthermore, improved adherence to healthy dietary patterns from mid- to late life also increased the likelihood of healthy ageing in late life.
    Conclusion: Consuming healthy foods and adhering to healthy dietary patterns at midlife can promote the likelihood of healthy ageing. Moreover, improving diet quality from mid- to late life can still be beneficial.

    Abstract Background: Clinical trials and Mendelian randomization (MR) studies reported null effects of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) on risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), which might have overlooked a nonlinear causal association. We aimed to investigate the dose-response relationship between circulating HDL-C concentrations and CVD in observational and MR frameworks.
    Methods: We included 348,636 participants (52,919 CVD cases and 295,717 non-cases) of European ancestry with genetic data from the UK Biobank (UKB) and acquired genome-wide association summary data for HDL-C of Europeans from the Global Lipids Genetics Consortium (GLGC). Observational analyses were conducted in the UKB. Stratified MR analyses were conducted combing genetic data for CVD from UKB and lipids from GLGC.
    Results: Observational analyses showed L-shaped associations of HDL-C with CVD, with no further risk reduction when HDL-C levels exceeded 70 mg/dL. Multivariable MR analyses across entire distribution of HDL-C found no association of HDL-C with CVD, after control of the pleiotropic effect on other lipids and unmeasured pleiotropism. However, in stratified MR analyses, significant inverse associations of HDL-C with CVD were observed in the stratum of participants with HDL-C ≤ 50 mg/dL (odds ratio per unit increase, 0.86; 95 % confidence interval, 0.79-0.94), while null associations were observed in any stratum above 50 mg/dL.
    Conclusions: Our data suggest a potentially causal inverse association of HDL-C at low levels with CVD risks. These findings advance our knowledge about the role of HDL as a potential target in CVD prevention and therapy.

    Abstract Background: In 2009, a workplace-based hypertension management program was launched among men with hypertension in the Kailuan study. This program involved monitoring blood pressure semimonthly, providing free antihypertensive medications, and offering personalized health consultations. However, the cost-effectiveness of this program remains unclear.
    Methods and results: This analysis included 12 240 participants, with 6120 in each of the management and control groups. Using a microsimulation model derived from 10-year follow-up data, we estimated costs, quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), life-years, and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) for workplace-based management compared with routine care in both the study period and over a lifetime. Analyses are conducted from the societal perspective. Over the 10-year follow-up, patients in the management group experienced an average gain of 0.06 QALYs with associated incremental costs of $633.17 (4366.85 RMB). Projecting over a lifetime, the management group was estimated to increase by 0.88 QALYs or 0.92 life-years compared with the control group, with an incremental cost of $1638.64 (11 301.37 RMB). This results in an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of $1855.47 per QALY gained and $1780.27 per life-year gained, respectively, when comparing workplace-based management with routine care. In probabilistic sensitivity analyses, with a threshold willingness-to-pay of $30 765 per QALY (3 times 2019 gross domestic product per capita), the management group showed a 100% likelihood of being cost-effective in 10 000 samples.
    Conclusions: Workplace-based management, compared with routine care for Chinese men with hypertension, could be cost-effective both during the study period and over a lifetime, and might be considered in working populations in China and elsewhere.

    Abstract Purpose: In China, many patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are diagnosed at an advanced stage. Several studies have shown that triple therapy [transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs)] is beneficial for patient survival. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of triple therapy (TACE + TKIs + ICIs) for unresectable HCC (uHCC) and the conversion rate of surgical resection (SR). The primary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) based on the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST) and RECIST v1.1 and adverse events (AEs), while the secondary endpoint was the conversion rate of patients with uHCC treated with triple therapy followed by SR.
    Patients and methods: Forty-nine patients with uHCC who received triple therapy at Fujian Provincial Hospital between January 2020 and June 2022 were retrospectively included. The treatment efficacy, SR conversion rate, and associated AEs were recorded.
    Results: Among the 49 patients enrolled, the ORRs assessed by mRECIST and RECIST v1.1 were 57.1% (24/42) and 14.3% (6/42), respectively, and the DCRs were 92.9% (39/42) and 88.1% (37/42), respectively. Seventeen (34.7%) patients met the criteria for resectable HCC and underwent resection. The median interval between the start of triple therapy and resection was 113.5 days (range 94.75 to 182 d), and the median number of TACE was 2 (range 1 to 2.5). The patients did not achieve median overall survival or median progression-free survival. Treatment-related AEs occurred in 48 (98%) patients, and 18 (36.7%) patients had grade ≥3 AEs.
    Conclusion: Triple combination therapy resulted in a relatively high ORR and conversion resection rate following uHCC treatment.

    Abstract In this work, a new type, highly sensitive, and reusable nanoplastics (NPs) microwave detection method is proposed, which can be used to rapidly analyze NPs with different surface charges and sizes. The effective dielectric constant of NPs varies according to the different concentrations, particle sizes, and surface charges of NPs in aqueous solution. The feasibility of the microwave method for differential-charged NPs detection is verified using a complementary split ring resonator sensor manufactured on a cost-effective printed circuit board, which shows a high sensitivity only for positively charged NPs (PS-NH

    Abstract Aim: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) remains the most frequent subpopulation of lymphoma, and N6-methyladenosine (m6A) was implicated in the DLBCL progression. Herein, we sought to decipher the m6A-asociated mechanism of NEDD1 in DLBCL development.
    Methods: The NEDD1 expression profile in DLBCL was assessed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blot. NEDD1 was artificially downregulated or upregulated in DLBCL cells, followed by EdU, Transwell assays and flow cytometry. The Hedgehog pathway activity was assayed by a dual-luciferase assay. The m6A methylation of NEDD1 in DLBCL was assessed by meRIP-qPCR, and the regulatory mechanism of METTL3 on NEDD1 was validated. The LDH assay was conducted to examine the impact of CD8
    Results: NEDD1 was overexpressed in DLBCL. Depletion of NEDD1 inhibited the aggressiveness of SU-DHL-8 and OCI-LY1 cells, whereas overexpression of NEDD1 expedited the aggressiveness of SU-DHL-8 and OCI-LY1 cells. METTL3 promoted NEDD1 translation in an m6A-dependent manner via YTHDF1. Depletion of METTL3 inhibited SU-DHL-8 and OCI-LY1 cell activity through regulation of NEDD1. NEDD1 reversed the repressive effect of METTL3 loss on the aggressiveness of SU-DHL-8 and OCI-LY1 cells. NEDD1 activated the Hedgehog signaling to promote immune escape of DLBCL.
    Conclusions: METTL3 promotes translation of NEDD1 via YTHDF1-depedndent m6A modification, thereby activating the Hedgehog signaling pathway to promote immune escape of DLBCL cells.

    Abstract Enterospora epinepheli is an intranuclear microsporidian parasite causing serious emaciative disease in hatchery-bred juvenile groupers (Epinephelus spp.). Rapid and sensitive detection is urgently needed as its chronic infection tends to cause emaciation as well as white faeces syndrome and results in fry mortality. This study established a TaqMan probe-based real-time quantitative PCR assays targeting the small subunit rRNA (SSU) gene of E. epinepheli. The relationship between the standard curve of cycle threshold (Ct) and the logarithmic starting quantity (SQ) was determined as Ct = -3.177 lg (SQ) + 38.397. The correlation coefficient (R

    Abstract Ensuring improved leg health is an important prerequisite for broilers to achieve optimal production performance and welfare status. Broiler leg disease is characterized by leg muscle weakness, leg bone deformation, joint cysts, arthritis, femoral head necrosis, and other symptoms that result in lameness or paralysis. These conditions significantly affect movement, feeding and broiler growth performance. Nowadays, the high incidence of leg abnormalities in broiler chickens has become an important issue that hampers the development of broiler farming. Therefore, it is imperative to prevent leg diseases and improve the health of broiler legs. This review mainly discusses the current prevalence of broiler leg diseases and describes the risk factors, diagnosis, and prevention of leg diseases to provide a scientific basis for addressing broiler leg health problems.
