    Abstract Background: Evidence demonstrated that vitamin D insufficiency was involved in insulin resistance (IR) pathogenesis and associated with tuberculosis. However, the association of vitamin D and IR in patients with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the association between vitamin D and insulin resistance in US adults with LTBI.
    Method: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) participants ≥ 20 years during the years 2011-2012 with positive QuantiFERON®-TB Gold-In-Tube (QFT) or tuberculin skin testing (TST) were enrolled in present study. Participants with LTBI were divided into 2 groups: (1) vitamin D insufficiency group (n = 267), and (2) vitamin D sufficiency group (n = 437).
    Results: Weighted analysis of all the population in the study showed that serum 25(OH)D inversely correlated with HOMA-IR (r = -0.14, P = 0.008). The vitamin D insufficiency group had higher fasting insulin (17.5 (1.38) vs. 15.29 (3.1), respectively, P = 0.0013) and HOMA-IR (5.0 (0.4) vs. 4.5 (1), respectively, P = 0.013) than the vitamin D sufficiency group. In adjusted analysis, vitamin D levels was independently associated with insulin resistance (adjusted OR [aOR] 2.74; 95% CI, 1.01-7.48, p = 0.0489).
    Conclusions: Taken together, our study suggested that serum 25(OH) D concentrations were inversely and independently associated with HOMA-IR in LTBI.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to study the relationship between modified dietary inflammatory index (MDII) score with osteoporosis (OP) in adult Americans.
    Methods: Data were extracted from the United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2007-2008, 2009-2010, 2013-2014, and 2017-2018). In this cross-sectional study, 5,446 participants were included and analyzed. Potential dietary inflammatory was assessed by MDII score (24-h recall), a composite method computed according to the relationship between nutrients and systemic pro-inflammatory cytokine level, and was further classified into tertiles. Weighted multivariable logistic regression analysis was employed to examine the associations between OP and MDII scores.
    Results: In weighted multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models, the highest tertile of MDII score was associated with an increased risk of OP [odds ratio (OR): 1.73, 95% confidence interval (95 CI%): 1.14-2.63]. In participants aged above 59 years, a higher MDII score showed a higher risk of OP (OR: 1.92; 95 CI%: 1.16-3.15). In the sex-stratified models, the results remained significant only among women (OR: 1.80; 95% CI: 1.02-3.17). In the menopausal status stratified model, after adjusting potential confounding variables, the association between the MDII score, either as a categorical (OR: 1.88; 95% CI: 1.07-3.13) or continuous variables (OR: 1.19; 95%CI: 1.02-1.38), and OP risk was significant among postmenopausal women.
    Conclusion: Our study indicates that a higher MDII score (pro-inflammatory effect) is significantly associated with an increased risk of OP in US adults, especially among those postmenopausal women more than 60 years. This study further supports that those dietary changes have the potential to prevent OP.

    Abstract Background: Cryopreserved fat has limited clinical applications due to its rapid absorption, high degree of fibrosis, and risk of complications after grafting. Many studies have verified that Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (ADSC-Exos) can improve fresh fat graft survival. This study assessed whether ADSC-Exos could improve the survival of cryopreserved fat grafts.
    Methods: Exosomes were isolated from human ADSCs were subcutaneously engrafted with adipose tissues stored under different conditions (fresh; cryopreserved for 1 month) into the backs of BALB/c nude mice (n = 24), and exosomes or PBS were administered weekly. Grafts were harvested at 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks, and fat retention rate, histologic, and immunohistochemical analyses were conducted.
    Results: At 1, 2, and 4 weeks after the transfer, cryopreserved fat grafts in groups of exosome-treated showed better fat integrity, fewer oil cysts, and reduced fibrosis. Further investigations of macrophage infiltration and neovascularization revealed that those exosomes increased the number of M2 macrophages at 2 and 4 weeks (p<0.05), but had limited impact on vascularization (p>0.05). It's important to note that no significant differences (p>0.05) were observed between the two groups in both histological and immunohistochemical evaluations at 8 weeks post-transplantation.
    Conclusions: This study suggests that ADSC-Exos could improve the survival of cryopreserved fat grafts in the short term (within 4 weeks), but the overall improvement was poor (after 8 weeks). This suggests that the utility of using ADSC-Exos to treat cryopreserved adipose tissue grafts is limited.

    Title translation Spatiotemporal evolution of habitat quality in three basins of Hainan Island based on InVEST model.
    Abstract Based on land use data of five periods during 1980 to 2020, using the InVEST model and the methods of land use transfer, habitat quality change rate and spatial statistical analysis, we explored the changes of habitat quality and its spatial distribution characteristics in the three major basins of Hainan Island (Nandu River, Changhua River and Wanquan River). The results showed that woodlands were the main land use type in the three basins of Hainan Island, accounting for more than 70% of the total area. From 1980 to 2020, the area of construction land increased the most, reaching up to 169.09 km

    Abstract Background: Facial aging is a multifactorial process involving the skin, fat, muscles, bones, and ligaments. The role of facial ligaments in the facial aging process remains elusive.
    Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify whether age-related changes in facial ligaments exist and how to best quantify such changes when investigating the zygomatic ligament in the rat.
    Methods: A total of 30 male Sprague-Dawley rats (10 young, 10 middle-aged, 10 mature) were investigated to visualize the zygomatic ligament. Samples of the ligaments spanning the zygomatic arch and the skin were taken and histologically examined with hematoxylin-eosin, Masson, Verhoeff's elastic, and picrosirius red staining. Quantification of the Type I/III collagen ratio and collagen content was performed by color deconvolution and electron microscopic imaging.
    Results: With increasing age, collagen fibers inside of the examined ligaments appeared thicker and more closely arranged. The Type I/III collagen ratio was measured to be 1.74 in young animals, 3.93 in middle-aged animals, and 5.58 in mature animals. The ultra-microstructure of the ligament was less coordinated in direction and orientation in young and middle-aged animals than in mature animals, in which collagen fibers were bundled together in a strong and oriented mesh.
    Conclusions: Ligaments appeared thinner, transparent, more elastic, and less robust in young animals, whereas ligaments in mature animals appeared thicker, more fascia-like, less elastic, and more robust. An increase in the Type I/III collagen ratio, indicating greater stiffness and reduced elasticity, was observed with higher age of the investigated animals. These findings indicate that ligaments might increase in stiffness and rigidity with age.
