Abstract
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are drugs that combine monoclonal antibody drugs targeting specific antigens and small molecule cytotoxic drugs through linker molecules. ADCs combine the advantages of high specificity targeting and potent killing effects, achieving precise and efficient targeting of cancer cells. Nowadays, ADCs are one of the hotspots in cancer drug development. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) is a known oncogene that can drive the occurrence and development of various types of tumors. HER-2 is also an important tumor target for ADCs approved for solid tumors. Anti-HER-2 ADCs can not only be used to treat HER-2-positive tumors but also effectively target HER-2-low tumors. The emergence of ADCs has broken the traditional classification of HER-2 in tumors, bringing significant treatment breakthroughs for HER-2-low tumors. Anti-HER-2 ADCs are widely used in the treatment of solid tumors and have substantial evidence for HER-2-low tumors. This article presents the progress of various anti-HER-2 ADCs in HER-2-low tumors including breast cancer, gastrointestinal malignancies, urothelial carcinoma, lung cancer. And this article summarizes the current status of preclinical studies, clinical studies, and safety of anti-HER-2 ADCs in order to provide reference for the clinical use of HER-2-low tumors.

Abstract
The epidemiology of renal artery atherosclerosis in community populations is poorly documented. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of renal artery plaque (RAP) and atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS), and the association of plaque and stenosis with vascular risk factors and kidney disease markers among community-dwelling adults. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of the Polyvascular Evaluation for Cognitive Impairment and Vascular Events (PRECISE) study. RAP and ARAS were evaluated by thoracoabdominal computed tomography angiography. A total of 3045 adults aged 50-75 years were included. The prevalence of RAP and ARAS was 28.7% and 4.8%, respectively. The prevalence of RAP and ARAS was 41.3% and 7.7% in individuals aged ≥60 years, 42.9% and 8.7% in hypertensives, and 45.4% and 8.5% in individuals with chronic kidney disease. Older age, hypertension, higher total cholesterol level, and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level were independently associated with RAP and ARAS. A higher urinary albumin-creatinine ratio was independently associated with RAP, whereas a reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate was independently associated with ARAS. In conclusion, there was a non-negligible prevalence of RAP and ARAS among the older, community population in China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin resistance as a significant vascular risk factor has been studied in relation to cerebral small vessel disease (SVD). Evidence suggests that insulin resistance might trigger high blood pressure (BP). Therefore, we aimed to investigate whether insulin resistance impacts SVD with a mediating effect of BP in nondiabetic subjects. METHODS AND RESULTS PRECISE (Polyvascular Evaluation for Cognitive Impairment and Vascular Events) study participants underwent brain and vascular imaging techniques and metabolomic risk factors measurements. Insulin resistance was evaluated by the insulin sensitivity index and the Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance based on the standard oral glucose tolerance test. On average, 2752 nondiabetic subjects (47.1% men) aged 60.9 years were included. The multivariable logistic regression model and linear regression model tested the association of insulin resistance with BP components (including systolic BP [SBP], diastolic BP (DBP), and pulse pressure [PP]) and SVD, and of BP components with SVD. In the mediation analysis, SBP, DBP, and PP were found to partially mediate the detrimental effect of insulin resistance (assessed by the insulin sensitivity index) on lacunes (mediation percentage: SBP, 31.15%; DBP, 34.21%; PP, 10.43%), white matter hyperintensity (mediation percentage: SBP, 37.34%; DBP, 44.15%; PP, 9.80%), and SVD total burden (mediation percentage: SBP, 42.07%; DBP, 49.29%; PP, 11.71%) (all P<0.05). The mediation analysis results were not significant when using the Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance to assess insulin resistance. CONCLUSIONS Higher insulin resistance was associated with SVD in this community-dwelling population. The association of insulin resistance with lacunes, white matter hyperintensity, and SVD total burden was explained in part by BP.

Abstract
Aims: To determine the impact of dietary protein intake and protein sources on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality of selective glomerular hypofiltration syndrome (SGHS) patients. Methods: This study recruited participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 1999 and 2004. Cox proportional hazard models and competing risk models were employed to investigate the effects of dietary protein intake and protein sources on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in SGHS patients. Additionally, Cox regression models utilizing restricted cubic splines (RCS) were used to explore potential non-linear associations. Results: Over a median follow-up period of 204 months, 20.71% (449/2168) participants died, with 5.40% (117/2168) experiencing cardiovascular mortality. In the fully adjusted model, participants with the highest dietary protein intake (Q4, ≥107.13 g d-1) exhibited a 40% reduced risk of all-cause mortality (HR: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.39 to 0.94) and an 88% reduced risk of cardiovascular mortality (HR: 0.12, 95% CI: 0.04 to 0.35) compared to those with the lowest dietary protein intake (Q1, < 57.93 g d-1). Notably, non-red meat protein sources were found to reduce the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, whereas no significant association was observed with red meat consumption. Conclusion: Adequate dietary protein intake has been linked to a decreased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in individuals with selective glomerular hypofiltration syndromes. This protective effect seems to be primarily associated with protein obtained from non-red meat sources.

Abstract
The network nature of the brain is gradually becoming a consensus in the neuroscience field. A set of highly connected regions in the brain network called "rich-club" are crucial high efficiency communication hubs in the brain. The abnormal rich-club organization can reflect underlying abnormal brain function and metabolism, which receives increasing attention. Diabetes is one of the risk factors for neurological diseases, and most individuals with prediabetes will develop overt diabetes within their lifetime. However, the gradual impact of hyperglycemia on brain structures, including rich-club organization, remains unclear. We hypothesized that the brain follows a special disrupted pattern of rich-club organization in prediabetes and diabetes. We used cross-sectional baseline data from the population-based PolyvasculaR Evaluation for Cognitive Impairment and vaScular Events (PRECISE) study, which included 2218 participants with a mean age of 61.3 ± 6.6 years and 54.1% females comprising 1205 prediabetes, 504 diabetes, and 509 normal control subjects. The rich-club organization and network properties of the structural networks derived from diffusion tensor imaging data were investigated using a graph theory approach. Linear mixed models were used to assess associations between rich-club organization disruptions and the subjects' glucose status. Based on the graphical analysis methods, we observed the disrupted pattern of rich-club organization was from peripheral regions mainly located in frontal areas to rich-club regions mainly located in subcortical areas from prediabetes to diabetes. The rich-club organization disruptions were associated with elevated glucose levels. These findings provided more details of the process by which hyperglycemia affects the brain, contributing to a better understanding of the potential neurological consequences. Furthermore, the disrupted pattern observed in rich-club organization may serve as a potential neuroimaging marker for early detection and monitoring of neurological disorders in individuals with prediabetes or diabetes.

Abstract
AIMS Transformed small cell lung cancer (T-SCLC) is a highly aggressive clinical disease with a notably poor prognosis. It most often arises from epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) following treatment. To date, no standard treatment has been established for T-SCLC. Platinum-etoposide was the most commonly used regimen, but progression-free survival remains unsatisfactory. Therefore, there is an urgent unmet need to develop novel and effective strategies for this population. Our study, a multicentre, open-label, single-arm phase II clinical trial (NCT05957510), aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of serplulimab plus chemotherapy in untreated T-SCLC patients after histological transformation. MATERIALS AND METHODS In total, 36 eligible participants experiencing SCLC transformation from EGFR-mutant NSCLC will be enrolled to receive combination therapy of serplulimab, etoposide and carboplatin for four to six cycles, followed by maintenance therapy with serplulimab for up to 2 years. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival; secondary endpoints include objective response rate, overall survival and safety. RESULTS Enrolment started in July 2023 and is ongoing, with an estimated completion date of December 2025. CONCLUSIONS This study aims to provide valuable insights into the efficacy and safety of combining serplulimab with chemotherapy for treating patients with T-SCLC originating from EGFR-mutant NSCLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data are limited on the association of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) with systemic atherosclerosis. This study aimed to examine the relationship between MAFLD and the extent of atherosclerotic plaques and stenosis, and presence of polyvascular disease (PolyVD). METHODS In this cross-sectional study, MAFLD was diagnosed based on the presence of metabolic dysfunction (MD) and fatty liver disease (FLD). MAFLD was divided into three subtypes: MAFLD with diabetes mellitus (DM), MAFLD with overweight or obesity (OW), as well as MAFLD with lean/normal weight and at least two metabolic abnormalities. Atherosclerosis was evaluated, with vascular magnetic resonance imaging for intracranial and extracranial arteries, thoracoabdominal computed tomography angiography for coronary, subclavian, aorta, renal, iliofemoral arteries, and ankle-brachial index for peripheral arteries. The extent of plaques and stenosis was defined according to the number of these eight vascular sites affected. PolyVD was defined as the presence of stenosis in at least two vascular sites. RESULTS This study included 3047 participants, with the mean age of 61.2 ± 6.7 years and 46.6% of male (n = 1420). After adjusting for potential confounders, MAFLD was associated with higher extent of plaques (cOR, 2.14, 95% CI 1.85-2.48) and stenosis (cOR, 1.47, 95% CI 1.26-1.71), and higher odds of presence of PolyVD (OR, 1.55, 95% CI 1.24-1.94) as compared with Non-MAFLD. In addition, DM-MAFLD and OW-MAFLD were associated with the extent of atherosclerotic plaques and stenosis, and presence of PolyVD (All P < 0.05). However, lean-MAFLD was only associated with the extent of atherosclerotic plaques (cOR, 1.63, 95% CI 1.14-2.34). As one component of MAFLD, FLD per se was associated with the extent of plaques and stenosis in participants with MAFLD. Furthermore, FLD interacted with MD to increase the odds of presence of systemic atherosclerosis (P for interaction ≤ 0.055). CONCLUSIONS MAFLD and its subtypes of DM-MAFLD and OW-MAFLD were associated with the extent of atherosclerotic plaques and stenosis, and presence of PolyVD. This study implicated that FLD might be a potential target of intervention for reducing the deleterious effects of MAFLD on systemic atherosclerosis.

Abstract
AIMS Intracranial plaque may cause stroke in the absence of luminal stenosis. Although urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) has been proved an established risk factor for cardiovascular disease, stroke and carotid atherosclerosis, little is known on the relationship between urine ACR and intracranial plaque. METHODS Subjects with history of stroke or coronary heart disease (CHD) were excluded in the PRECISE study. The intracranial plaque was assessed by vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Subjects were stratified according to ACR tertiles. Logistic regression and ordinal regression were performed to analyze the association between ACR and the presence of intracranial plaque or sum of the stenosis score for each artery. RESULTS 2962 individuals were included with the mean age of 61.0±6.6 years. The median ACR was 11.7mg/g (interquartile range 7.0-22.0 mg/g), and the mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on combination of creatinine and cystatin C was 88.5±14.8 ml/min·1.73m2. 495 (16.7%) participants had intracranial plaque. The highest ACR tertile with ACR >16.00mg/g was independently associated with the presence of intracranial plaque (OR 1.38, 95% CI: 1.05-1.82, p=0.02) and the odds of higher intracranial plaque burden (common OR 1.39, 95% CI: 1.05-1.83, p=0.02) after adjustment of confounding factors. No significant association was observed between eGFR and intracranial plaque presence or intracranial plaque burden. CONCLUSIONS Among a low-risk community-dwelling population without prior stroke or CHD in China, ACR was independently associated with intracranial plaque presence and plaque burden measured by vessel wall MRI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Given that associations of Life's Essential 8 (LE8) and cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) or its imaging markers were unclear, we examined relationship between them. METHODS The cross-sectional study included community residents from the PolyvasculaR Evaluation for Cognitive Impairment and vaScular Events study. We calculated the total LE8 score, medical LE8 score and behavioural score, and categorised them into low (<60), moderate (60-79) or high (≥80) group. MRI markers included lacunes, white matter hyperintensities (WMH), enlarged perivascular spaces in basal ganglia (BG-EPVS) and cerebral microbleeds (CMB). In respect of, total CSVD score (0-4 points), WMH, lacunes or CMB were categorised as two grades, and BG-EPVS (N>10) was allocated one point. Based on modified total CSVD score (0-6 points), WMH or CMB was modified to three grades, and BG-EPVS (N>20) was allocated one point. RESULTS Among 3061 participants in this study, 1424 (46.5%) were male. Higher LE8 score was associated with lower total CSVD score (moderate vs low: cOR 0.78, 95% CI 0.63 to 0.96; high vs low: cOR 0.44, 95% CI 0.33 to 0.59), and the medical score was inversely related to the total CSVD score. Furthermore, the medical score was inversely related to odds of WMH (p<0.05), modified WMH (p<0.05), lacunes (p<0.05) or BG-EPVS (p<0.05), and the behavioural score were inversely related to the odds of lacunes and BG-EPVS. CONCLUSIONS Higher LE8 score which indicates better cardiovascular status was associated with lower burden of CSVD and its MRI markers. Longitudinal studies are needed to examine the causality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Epidemiological studies show that high circulating cystatin C is associated with risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), independent of creatinine-based renal function measurements. However, the relationship between serum cystatin C level and coronary atherosclerotic plaque burden is limited. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between circulating cystatin C and coronary atherosclerotic plaque burden. METHODS This study was a cross-sectional study based on China community population. Measurements of plaque burden were based on the segment-involvement score (SIS) and segment stenosis score (SSS), which derived from the Coronary Artery Tree Model Depicting Coronary Artery Plaque Scores. Logistic regression model was used to demonstrate the association between cystatin C level and coronary artery plaque burden. Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses were conducted to assess the causal effect of cystatin C level on coronary atherosclerosis risk. RESULTS A total of 3,043 objects were included in the present study. The odds risks (OR) of severe plaque burden in the highest serum cystatin C levels (OR: 2.50; Cl:1.59-3.91; P < 0.001) and medium-level cystatin C levels (OR: 1.86; 95% Cl: 1.21-2.88; P = 0.005) were significantly higher after fulled adjusted confounders compared with the lowest levels of serum cystatin C by SSS. The MR analysis showed that genetic predicted cystatin C levels was associated with an increased risk of coronary atherosclerosis (OR, 1.004; 95% CI, 1.002-1.006, P < 0.001) . CONCLUSION Elevated serum cystatin C levels were associated with coronary atherosclerotic plaque burden. Cystatin C levels had a causal effect on an increased risk of coronary atherosclerosis at the genetic level. WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ON THIS TOPIC?: Coronary artery disease is currently the most common cardiovascular disease and the leading global cause of mortality. Previous studies reported that higher serum cystatin C levels were associated with an increased risk for future cardiovascular events, independent of the normal creatinine levels or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) values. The presence of high-risk coronary atherosclerotic plaque burden is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events. However, the association between serum cystatin C and coronary atherosclerotic plaque burden is not very clear. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS?: Our study demonstrated that the elevated serum cystatin C levels were associated with coronary atherosclerotic plaque burden. In addition, we found that serum cystatin C levels had a causal effect on an increased risk of coronary atherosclerosis at the genetic level. HOW THIS STUDY MIGHT AFFECT RESEARCH, PRACTICE OR POLICY?: Current research finds that serum cystatin C levels were associated with coronary atherosclerosis. The metabolic pathway of cystatin C could be a target for new therapies against CAD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between tooth loss and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality requires further investigation. METHODS This study included 17993 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) 1999-2004 and 2009-2014. Weighted multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess the association between tooth loss and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Restricted cubic splines (RCS) were incorporated in the models to explore potential nonlinear relationships. RESULTS Over a median follow-up of 116 months, 2152 participants died, including 625 cardiovascular deaths. Compared to participants without missing teeth, participants with 11-19 missing teeth had the highest risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 1.89, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.43-2.51), while participants with 6-10 missing teeth had the highest risk of cardiovascular mortality (HR 2.51, 95% CI 1.68-3.76). RCS analyses revealed nonlinear associations between number of missing teeth and all-cause (p < 0.001) and cardiovascular (p = 0.001) mortality. With < 10 missing teeth, each additional missing tooth increased all-cause and cardiovascular mortality by 6% (HR 1.06, 95% CI 1.03-1.09) and 9% (HR 1.09, 95% CI 1.03-1.15), respectively. However, when the number of missing teeth was ≥10, the risk of mortality did not continue to increase with more missing teeth. A significant interaction was found between tooth loss and age (p < 0.001 for both outcomes). CONCLUSION We observed an inverted L-shaped association between tooth loss and mortality, wherein risks increased with more missing teeth until 10, but did not continue increasing thereafter. The association was stronger in adults < 65 years old.

Abstract
AIMS Few population-based studies have investigated the association between insulin resistance and atherosclerotic burden in intra- and extra-cranial arteries. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between insulin resistance and intra- and extra-cranial atherosclerotic burden in community-based nondiabetic participants. METHODS This is a cross-sectional analysis from a population-based prospective cohort-PolyvasculaR Evaluation for Cognitive Impairment and vaScular Events (PRECISE) study in China. The homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and insulin sensitivity indices (ISI0-120) were stratified by the quartiles, respectively. The atherosclerotic presence of plaques and burden was evaluated by high-resolution MRI. Binary or ordinal logistic regression was performed to assess the association between HOMA-IR or ISI0-120 and the presence and burden of atherosclerosis. RESULTS Among the 2754 participants, the mean age was 60.9 ± 6.6 years, and 1296 (47.1%) were males. Compared with the lowest quartile of HOMR-IR, the highest quartile of HOMA-IR (indicating a higher level of insulin resistance) was associated with an increased presence of plaques (OR:1.54, 95% CI:1.14-2.08), and atherosclerotic burden (OR:1.53, 95%CI:1.14-2.07) in intracranial arteries. Meanwhile, we observed a similar relationship between HOMA-IR and the presence or burden in extracranial atherosclerosis. The first (indicating a higher level of insulin resistance) quartiles of ISI0-120 were associated with the intracranial plaques (Q1, OR:1.56, 95%CI:1.16-2.11) and atherosclerotic burden (Q1, OR:1.57, 95%CI:1.17-2.12), but not extracranial plaques or atherosclerotic burden, compared with the fourth quartile of ISI0-120. CONCLUSIONS Insulin resistance was associated with an increased intra-and extra-cranial atherosclerotic burden in the nondiabetic elderly Chinese population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the associations of glymphatic system with the presence, severity and neuroimaging phenotypes of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) in a community-based population. METHOD This report included 2219 community-dwelling people aged 50-75 years who participated in the PolyvasculaR Evaluation for Cognitive Impairment and vaScular Events cohort. The diffusivity along perivascular spaces based on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI-ALPS index) was measured to assess glymphatic pathway. The presence and severity of CSVD were estimated using a CSVD score (points from 0 to 4) and a modified CSVD score (points from 0 to 4), which were driven by 4 neuroimaging features of CSVD, including white matter hyperintensity (WMH), enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS), lacunes, cerebral microbleeds. Brain atrophy (BA) was also evaluated. Binary or ordinal logistic regression analyses were carried out to investigate the relationships of DTI-ALPS index with CSVD. RESULT The mean age was 61.3 (SD 6.6) years, and 1019 (45.9%) participants were men. The average DTI-ALPS index was 1.67±0.14. Individuals in the first quartile (Q1) of the DTI-ALPS index had higher risks of the presence of CSVD (OR 1.77, 95% CI 1.33 to 2.35, p<0.001), modified presence of CSVD (odds ratio (OR) 1.80, 95% CI 1.38 to 2.34, p<0.001), total burden of CSVD (common OR (cOR) 1.89, 95% CI 1.43 to 2.49, p<0.001) and modified total burden of CSVD (cOR 1.95, 95% CI 1.51 to 2.50, p<0.001) compared with those in the fourth quartile (Q4). Additionally, individuals in Q1 of the DTI-ALPS index had increased risks of WMH burden, modified WMH burden, lacunes, basal ganglia-EPVS and BA (all p<0.05). CONCLUSION A lower DTI-ALPS index underlay the presence, severity and typical neuroimaging markers of CSVD, implying that glymphatic impairment may interact with CSVD-related pathology in the general ageing population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate clinical features and outcomes of Chinese patients with Takotsubo syndrome (TTS). METHODS We established the first Chinese Registry of Takotsubo Syndrome (ChiTTS Registry) and analyzed demographic, clinical, therapeutical, and outcome data to characterize clinical and outcome features of Chinese TTS patients. RESULTS In 112 enrolled patients in the ChiTTS registry from 02/01/2016 to 12/28/2021, the mean age was 59.4 ± 18.7 years old, and 27.7% were men. A total of 41.1% patients experienced respiratory and circulatory complications during hospitalization, and 17.3% patients developed cardiogenic shock. Physical triggers, dyspnea, tachycardia, and younger age (< 70 years old) predicted in-hospital complications. The MACCE rate during follow up was 13.9% per patient per year and the rate of all-cause death was 12.8% per patient per year. TTS patients with in-hospital complications developed more long-term MACCE (24.6% vs. 6.6% per patient-year, P < 0.001) and higher all-cause mortality (21.9% vs. 6.6% per patient-year, P = 0.001) than those without. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that more MACCE occurred in TTS patients with tachycardia during 3-year follow-up (HR 4.18; 95% CI 1.80-9.74; log-rank test P < 0.001). Among all medications at discharge, only beta-blocker was associated with reduced long-term MACCE (HR: 0.35; 95% CI: 0.12-0.996; P = 0.049). CONCLUSION We investigated clinical and outcome features of patients in the first Chinese TTS Registry. Tachycardiac TTS patients developed more inpatient and long-term adverse cardiovascular events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between intracranial atherosclerosis and cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). METHODS Community-dwelling residents of Lishui, China in the PRECISE (Polyvascular Evaluation for Cognitive Impairment and Vascular Events) study were involved. Intracranial atherosclerosis was grouped by the severity of intracranial artery plaques with stenosis and burden. Four imaging markers including lacunes, white matter hyperintensity (WMH), cerebral microbleeds (CMBs), and perivascular spaces (PVS) as well as the CSVD burden scores were assessed. Logistic regression or ordinal logistic regression models with odds ratio (OR) or common OR (cOR) were used to estimate the relationship between intracranial atherosclerosis and CSVD markers and burdens. RESULTS The mean age was 61.20 ± 6.68 years, and 1424 (46.52%) were men among 3061 participants included at baseline. Intracranial atherosclerotic burden was associated with the severity of the lacunes (OR = 4.18, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.83-9.58), modified WMH burden (cOR = 1.94, 95% CI = 1.01-3.71), presence of CMBs (OR = 2.28, 95% CI = 1.05-4.94), and CMB burden (OR = 2.23, 95% CI = 1.03-4.80). However, it was not associated with the WMH burden and PVS. Intracranial atherosclerotic burden was associated with CSVD burden (Wardlaw: cOR = 2.73, 95% CI = 1.48-5.05; Rothwell: cOR = 2.70, 95% CI = 1.47-4.95). The association between intracranial atherosclerosis and CSVD was obvious in participants with both anterior and posterior circulation artery stenosis. CONCLUSIONS Based on a Chinese community population, there may be an association between intracranial atherosclerosis and CSVD, but its mechanism in relation to vascular risk factors still needs to be clarified.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Due to the ageing global population, calcified aortic valve disease is currently the most common cardiac valve disorder. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and the risk factors for calcified aortic valve stenosis (CAVS), and develop a prediction model for predicting CAVS risk. METHODS AND RESULTS This study was derived from the cross-sectional baseline survey of the PRECISE study (NCT03178448). The demographic, clinical and laboratory information of each participant was obtained. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression models were used to determine CAVS risk factors. A prediction model for predicting CAVS risk based on risk factors was developed and the result was performed by nomogram. The discrimination of the prediction model was assessed by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. The degree of fitting for the prediction model was assessed by calibration curve analysis. A total of 3067 participants (1427 men and 1640 women) were included. The prevalence of CAVS among those aged below 60 years old, 60-70 years old and over 70 years old was 4.1%, 10.3% and 21.9%, respectively. Multivariable regression analysis revealed that age (OR: 1.099; 95% CI: 1.076 to 1.123, p<0.001), pulse pressure (OR: 1.020; 95% CI: 1.009 to 1.031, p<0.001), uric acid (OR: 1.003; 95% CI: 1.001 to 1.004, p<0.001), glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) (OR: 1.152; 95% CI: 1.028 to 1.292, p=0.015) and lipoprotein(a) (OR: 1.002; 95% CI: 1.001 to 1.002, p<0.001) were independent risk factors for CAVS. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was a protective factor for CAVS (OR: 0.539; 95% CI: 0.349 to 0.831, p=0.005). The prediction model including the above risk factors showed a risk prediction of CAVS with good discrimination. The area under the curve value was found to be 0.743 (95% CI: 0.711 to 0.775). CONCLUSION CAVS is currently prevalent in the elderly Chinese population. Age, pulse pressure, HbA1c, lower-level HDL-C, lipoprotein(a) and uric acid are the independent risk factors for CAVS.

Abstract
Background Cadmium is a commonly found heavy metal with a prolonged biological half-life, which results in long-term health burden for the population. Prior studies have demonstrated an association between blood cadmium and hypertension. However, few studies examined the relationship between blood cadmium and long-term health outcomes in patients with hypertension. This study aimed to investigate the association of blood cadmium with mortality in patients with hypertension. Methods This study analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2012. Complex sampling-weighted multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate the hazard ratios (HRs) of all-cause, cardiovascular, and Alzheimer's disease mortality in patients with hypertension classified by blood cadmium concentrations' quantiles. Results The study included 12,208 patients with hypertension with a median follow-up duration of 10.8 years. During this period, there were 4,485 all-cause deaths, including 1,520 cardiovascular deaths and 180 Alzheimer's disease deaths. Compared with the lowest quintile of blood cadmium (≤0.25 μg/L) group, the highest quintile of blood cadmium (≥0.80 μg/L) group's adjusted HRs were 1.85 (95% CI, 1.59-2.14) for all-cause mortality, 1.76 (95% CI, 1.33-2.34) for cardiovascular mortality, and 3.41 (95% CI, 1.54-7.51) for Alzheimer's disease mortality. Additionally, the adjusted HR for cardiovascular mortality was 2.12 (95% CI, 1.36-3.30) in never-smoking patients with hypertension. Conclusion Higher blood cadmium is associated with increased risks of all-cause, cardiovascular, and Alzheimer's disease mortality in patients with hypertension. The effect of blood cadmium on cardiovascular mortality may be more pronounced in never-smoking hypertensive patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data are limited on associations between apolipoprotein B (Apo B) and cerebral atherosclerosis. OBJECTIVE Our study aimed to estimate associations between discordant Apo B with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) or non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (Non-HDL-C) and the odds of the presence and burden of intra-/extra-cranial atherosclerotic plaques. METHODS This cross-sectional study was based on the baseline survey from the PolyvasculaR Evaluation for Cognitive Impairment and vaScular Events (PRECISE) study, a population-based prospective cohort study. Participants with complete baseline data but without taking lipid-lowering medication were included in this analysis. Discordant Apo B with LDL-C or Non-HDL-C were defined by residuals and cut-off values (LDL-C: 3.4 mmol/L, Non-HDL-C: 4.1 mmol/L). We used binary and ordinal logistic regression models to explore associations between discordant Apo B with LDL-C or Non-HDL-C and the presence and burden of intra-/extra-cranial atherosclerotic plaques. RESULTS A total of 2,943 participants were enrolled in this study. Discordantly high Apo B with LDL-C was associated with an increased odds of the presence of intracranial atherosclerotic plaque [odds ratio (OR),1.28; 95%CI,1.01-1.61], intracranial atherosclerotic burden [common odds ratio (cOR), 1.31; 95%CI,1.04-1.64], the presence of extracranial atherosclerotic plaque (OR, 1.37; 95%CI,1.14-1.66), and extracranial atherosclerotic burden (cOR, 1.32; 95%CI,1.10-1.58) compared with the concordant group. Discordantly low Apo B with Non-HDL-C was associated with decreased odds of the presence and burden of intra-/extra-cranial atherosclerotic plaques. CONCLUSION Discordantly high Apo B with LDL-C or Non-HDL-C were associated with an increased odds of the presence and burden of intra-/extra-cranial atherosclerotic plaques. This demonstrated that discordantly high Apo B might be important for early assessment of risk of cerebral atherosclerotic plaques in addition to LDL-C and Non-HDL-C.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tall cell variant (TCV) of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common aggressive subtype of PTC. The factors that affect survival of patients with TCV remain unclear. We aimed to develop a model to predict the cancer-specific survival (CSS). METHODS A total of 1615 patients diagnosed with TCV between 2004 and 2016 were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and randomized into training and validation cohorts (7:3). A predictive nomogram for predicting CSS was constructed by Cox proportional hazards regression and validated by concordance index (C-index), calibration curve, and decision curve analyses (DCA). A risk classification system was built based on the total nomogram scores of each case. RESULTS A nomogram was constructed including five independent prognostic factors (age, tumor size, T stage, M stage, and extent of surgery) associated with CSS in TCV patients. Various validations proved that the nomogram model had good consistency and discrimination for TCV prognosis. The risk classification system could perfectly classify TCV patients into three risk groups with significantly different CSS. Compared with traditional AJCC TNM staging system, the nomogram could better predict CSS in TCV patients. CONCLUSIONS A nomogram and corresponding risk classification system were developed for predicting CSS in TCV patients. The model has excellent performance and can be used to help clinicians make accurate prognostic assessment and individualized treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Deep medullary veins (DMVs) were not considered a typical marker of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) due to limited understanding of their involvement in pathology of CSVD. This study aimsto investigate potential vascular risk factors for DMVs and their associations with CSVD. METHODS In total, 1909 community-dwelling participants were included in this analysis. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and imaging data were collected. DMV scores (0-18) werecalculated as the sum of bilateral frontal, parietal, and occipital regional scores using a semiquantitative visual scale (0-3). The presence, total burden, and imaging markers of CSVD were assessed. Linear regression analyses were conducted to explore potential vascular factors for DMV scores. Binary and ordinal logistic regression analyses were performed to investigate the associations of DMV scores with CSVD and its markers. RESULTS Mean age was 61.8 (SD 6.5) years, and 1027 (53.8%) of participants were men. The median DMV scores were14 (IQR 12-16). DMV scores wererelated to age, male sex, body mass index, diastolic blood pressure, hypercholesterolaemia, atrial fibrillation, current drinking, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein, hemoglobin A1c, leukocytes, lymphocytes, hemoglobin, and platelets (p < .05). DMV scores wereassociated with the presence and total burden of CSVD (Rothwell's scale), modified white matter hyperintensity burden, and enlarged perivascular spaces in centrum semiovale (p < .05). However, these associations between DMV scores and CSVD disappeared after adjusting for potential confounders. CONCLUSION Several conventional vascular factors were associated with DMVs. The relationship between DMVs and CSVD was vulnerable, suggesting decreased visible and discontinuous DMVs may differ mechanistically from traditional markers of CSVD.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA), one of the most widely consumed endocrine disrupting chemicals, has been found to be associated with a variety of diseases, especially cardiovascular diseases. However, few studies have investigated the association of BPA with long-term health outcomes. This study analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003-2016. The NHANES data were linked to mortality data (with a follow-up point of December 31, 2019). The urinary BPA concentration was estimated by adjusting for urinary creatinine (BPA/Cr, ng/mg). Complex sampling-weighted multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to compare the hazard ratios (HRs) of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality among participants with different urinary BPA concentrations. This study included 9243 adult participants. The median follow-up duration was 9.1 years. During this period, 1200 all-cause deaths occurred, of which 374 were cardiovascular deaths. Compared to the lowest BPA/Cr quartile group, the adjusted HRs of the highest BPA/Cr quartile group were 1.76 (95% CI, 1.23-2.52) for cardiovascular mortality and 1.21 (95% CI, 0.98-1.49) for all-cause mortality. In addition, there was a significant interaction between sex and BPA/Cr (P for interaction = 0.044) for the risk of cardiovascular mortality. The adjusted HR for cardiovascular mortality in female participants was 2.80 (95% CI, 1.56-5.02), while that in male participants was only 1.34 (95% CI, 0.79-2.24). Higher urinary BPA is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality among US adults. The effect of BPA on cardiovascular mortality may be more pronounced in women than in men.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Visceral adiposity index (VAI) and lipid accumulation product (LAP), as anthropometric indices, have been applied to predict the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). However, few studies investigated the correlation between these two indicators and cardio-cerebro-vascular atherosclerosis in community populations. Our study was to explore the association of VAI and LAP with coronary, intracranial and extracranial atherosclerosis in a community-based asymptomatic middle-aged and older population. METHODS Participants without a history of CVD in the study of PRECISE (Polyvascular Evaluation for Cognitive Impairment and Vascular Events) were included. The sex-special indicators of VAI and LAP were calculated and stratified by the tertiles. The presence of plaque and coronary segmental stenosis score (SSS) were assessed by coronary computed tomography (CTA), as well as intracranial and extracranial atherosclerotic burden were evaluated by high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HR-MRI), respectively. Binary or ordinal logistic regression was conducted to assess the association between each of the indexes and the presence and burden of atherosclerosis. RESULTS A total of 2875 subjects were included in the final analysis. The mean age was 60.9 ± 6.6 years and 1329 (46.2 %) participants were males. Compared with the first tertile of VAI, the higher tertile was associated with the presence of plaques (T3 vs T1, OR, 1.49, 95%CI, 1.12-1.98, for males; OR, 1.64, 95%CI, 1.24-2.17, for females) and atherosclerotic burden (T3 vs T1, adjusted cOR, 1.63, 95%CI, 1.24-2.14, for males; adjusted cOR, 1.70, 95%CI, 1.29-2.24, for females) in major coronary arteries. A similar association was found for LAP. VAI level has presented an association with the extracranial atherosclerotic plaques (T3 vs T1, OR, 1.34, 95%CI, 1.02-1.77) and burden (T3 vs T1, adjusted cOR 1.32, 95 % CI 1.00-1.73) only in females. Whereas, for intracranial atherosclerosis, the results failed to show any statistically significant association. CONCLUSIONS Among community-dwelling asymptomatic older adults, VAI and LAP were associated with the presence and burden of coronary atherosclerotic plaques, while VAI presented a weaker significant association with extracranial atherosclerosis in females.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the contribution of alterations in brain structure and function to cognitive function and their interactions in individuals with diabetes and patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This population-based study included 2,483 participants who underwent structural MRI (n = 569 with normal glucose metabolism [NGM], n = 1,353 with prediabetes, and n = 561 with T2DM) and cognitive testing. Of these, 2145 participants also underwent functional MRI (n = 496 NGM, n = 1,170 prediabetes, and n = 479 T2DM). Multivariate linear regression models were used to assess the association of brain volume and functional connectivity with cognition, as well as the association of brain volume and functional connectivity. RESULTS Compared with NGM participants, those with T2DM had lower brain volume in a wide range of brain regions and stronger functional connectivity between the bilateral thalamus and brain functional network (visual network and default mode network), and those with prediabetes had lower brain volume in specific local regions (subcortical gray matter volume and subcortical subregions [bilateral thalamus, bilateral nucleus accumbens, and right putamen]) and stronger functional connectivity between the right thalamus and visual network. Cognition was associated with greater right thalamus volume and lower functional connectivity between the right thalamus and visual network. Functional connectivity between the right thalamus and visual network was associated with lower right thalamus volume. CONCLUSIONS Cognition was associated with greater brain volume and lower functional connectivity in T2DM. Increased functional connectivity may indicate a compensatory mechanism for reduced brain volume that begins in the prediabetic phase.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Pro-, pre-, and synbiotic supplements improve cardiovascular risk factors. However, the association between nonfood pro-, pre-, and synbiotics (NPPS) and long-term all-cause and cardiovascular mortality has not been studied. Thus, our objective was to determine the impact of nonfood pro-, pre-, and synbiotics on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This was a retrospective, cohort study of 4837 nationally representative American participants aged 65 years or older with a median follow-up duration of 77 months. MEASUREMENTS All-cause and cardiovascular mortality were measured. RESULTS A total of 1556 participants died during the median 77-month follow-up, and 517 died from cardiovascular disease. Compared with participants without NPPS use, participants who used NPPS experienced a reduced risk of all-cause mortality by nearly 41% (hazard ratio 0.59, 95% CI 0.43 to 0.79) and cardiovascular mortality by 52% (HR 0.48, 95% CI 0.30 to 0.76). Such an effect persisted in most subgroup analyses and complete-case analyses. CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE In this study, we found a protective effect of NPPS against all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in Americans aged 65 years or older. Nonfood pro-, pre-, and synbiotics can be a novel, inexpensive, low-risk treatment addition for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality for older individuals.

Abstract
AIMS High level of apolipoprotein B (Apo B) is associated with incident subclinical atherosclerosis. The present study evaluated the associations between discordant Apo B with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), and coronary atherosclerotic burden. METHODS AND RESULTS This study enrolled 3043 participants aged 50-75 years from the PolyvasculaR Evaluation for Cognitive Impairment and vaScular Events (PRECISE) study that was conducted in the community in Lishui City, China. Discordant Apo B with LDL-C and non-HDL-C were defined by residuals and medians. Coronary atherosclerotic burden was evaluated by segment involvement score (SIS) and segment stenosis score (SSS) which were determined by computed tomography angiography. We performed discordance analyses examining associations of discordant Apo B with LDL-C or non-HDL-C with the coronary atherosclerotic burden. The mean age of participants was 61.2 ± 6.7 years, 53.6% were females. Participants with discordant high Apo B relative to non-HDL-C were at higher odds of plaques [odds ratio (OR), 1.30; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.08-1.57], SIS [common odds ratio (cOR), 1.35; 95% CI, 1.14-1.60], and SSS (cOR, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.18-1.67) compared with concordant group. However, discordantly low Apo B with non-HDL-C was associated with decreased odds of the coronary atherosclerotic plaques and its burden. Similar results were shown for discordant analyses for Apo B with LDL-C. CONCLUSION Discordantly high Apo B with LDL-C and non-HDL-C were associated with an increased odds of the coronary atherosclerotic plaques and its burden. These findings highlighted the importance of Apo B for primary prevention of coronary atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Background Caffeine is widely consumed not only in coffee but also in soft drinks and tea. However, the long-term health effects of caffeine are still controversial, especially in people with high cardiovascular risk such as elderly patients with hypertension. Methods This study analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2003-2018. Caffeine intake was calculated by two 24-h dietary recall interviews. Complex sampling-weighted multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to compare the hazard ratios (HRs) of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in elderly hypertensive patients with different caffeine intake (<10, 10 to <100, 100 to <200, 200 to <300, and ≥300 mg/day). Results This study included 6,076 elderly hypertensive patients. The mean ± standard error follow-up duration was 6.86 ± 0.12 years. During this period, a total of 2,200 all-cause deaths occurred, of which 765 were cardiovascular deaths. Taking patients with caffeine intake < 10 mg/day as a reference, patients with moderate caffeine intake (200 to <300 mg/day) had a lower risk of all-cause (HR, 0.70 [95% CI, 0.56-0.87]) and cardiovascular (HR, 0.55 [95% CI, 0.39-0.77]) mortality. The benefit of reducing all-cause mortality risk was significant in female patients (HR, 0.65 [95% CI, 0.50-0.85]) or patients with well-controlled blood pressure (HR, 0.63 [95% CI, 0.46-0.87]), but not in male patients or patients with poorly controlled blood pressure. In addition, non-linear relationship analysis also showed that moderate caffeine intake had the lowest HRs of all-cause (Non-linear p = 0.022) and cardiovascular mortality (Non-linear p = 0.032) in the present study. Conclusion Moderate caffeine intake is associated with reduced risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in elderly hypertensive patients.

Abstract
Objective: To compare cusp and U-tube registration methods of dynamic navigation system in dental implant placement. Methods: Twenty resin mandible models and 40 implants were utilized, with implants being placed by a single researcher using one of the two registration methods selected at random. Accuracy was measured through the superimposition of the final and planned implant positions. Angular deviation, three-dimensional (3D) entry deviation, and 3D apex deviation were analyzed. Results: The 3D entry deviation, and 3D apex deviation and angular deviation of cusp group and U-tube group were (1.07±0.46) and (0.93±0.54) mm, (1.16±0.55) and (1.03±0.53) mm, 2.06°±0.98°and 1.62°±0.97°. No significant differences (t=0.91, P=0.368; t=0.79, P=0.436; t=1.42, P=0.164) were observed when comparing these two registration methods. Conclusions: Both the cusp and U-tube registration methods are highly accurate when implemented in vitro. The cusp registration technique can also overcome several of the limitations of the U-tube approach, and it is convenient for clinic.

Abstract
Background Insulin resistance is an important cause of cardiovascular events and cerebral infarction development. We aimed to investigate the association of the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index with atherosclerotic burden and plaques in coronary, intra- and extracranial arteries in participants with non-diabetes, and compared the results with that of the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Methods Participants without diabetes in the PolyvasculaR Evaluation for Cognitive Impairment and vaScular Events (PRECISE) study were included. We categorized participants by tertiles of the TyG index and the concordance/discordance of the TyG index and HOMA-IR. Discordance was defined as a TyG index equal to or greater than the median and HOMA-IR less than the median, or vice versa. The atherosclerosis plaques and burden in coronary, intra- and extracranial arteries were evaluated. The association of HOMA-IR and TyG index with the presence of atherosclerotic plaques and atherosclerotic burden was assessed by binary and ordinal logistic regression models, respectively. Results Among 2,719 included participants, the average age was 60.9 (± 6.6) years, and 53.0% were female. Both TyG index and HOMA-IR were associated with increased odds of coronary/intra- and extracranial atherosclerotic plaques and burden after adjustment for age, sex, currenting smoking and drinking (all P < 0.05). However, the association between HOMA-IR and intracranial atherosclerosis was not statistically significant after adjustment for all potential confounders. Discordantly high TyG index with HOMA-IR had a higher odd of extracranial plaque (odds ratio [OR]: 1.34, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.04–1.71), extracranial atherosclerotic burden (common odds ratio [cOR]: 1.35, 95% CI 1.06–1.71), coronary plaque (OR: 1.30, 95% CI 1.01–1.68) and segment stenosis score (cOR: 1.39, 95% CI 1.09–1.78) as compared with concordantly low TyG index with HOMA-IR. The TyG index had a better net reclassification improvement ability than HOMA-IR for atherosclerotic plaques when adding to baseline model. Conclusion Elevated TyG index was associated with increased odds of atherosclerosis in coronary/intra- and extracranial arteries. Compared with HOMA-IR, the TyG index was more strongly associated with intracranial atherosclerosis. Moreover, discordantly high TyG index with HOMA-IR was also important for atherosclerosis identification.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) is highly prevalent and results in irreversible cognitive impairment and reduced quality of life. Previous studies reported controversial associations between insulin resistance and cSVD. Here, we estimated the association between insulin resistance and cSVD in non-diabetic communities in southeastern China. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The Polyvascular Evaluation for Cognitive Impairment and Vascular Events study (NCT03178448) recruited 3670 community-dwelling adults. We estimated the association of insulin resistance, assessed by the insulin sensitivity index (ISI0,120) and the homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) based on the standard oral glucose tolerance test, with cSVD in those without a history of diabetes mellitus. cSVD was measured for both main neuroimaging manifestations of cSVD and total SVD burden scores. RESULTS A total of 2752 subjects were enrolled. In the multivariable logistic regression analysis, the first quartile of ISI0,120 was found to be potentially associated with an increased risk of lacunes (OR 1.96, 95% CI 1.15 to 3.36), severe age-related white matter changes (OR 1.97, 95% CI 1.15 to 3.38), and higher total SVD burden (4-point scale: common OR (cOR) 1.34, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.72; 6-point scale: cOR 1.43, 95% CI 1.14 to 1.79). The associations between HOMA-IR and lacunes (OR 1.90, 95% CI 1.11 to 3.25) and the 4-point scale of total SVD burden (cOR 1.33, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.70) were also significant after adjustment for age, gender, medical history, and medications. However, the associations were not statistically significant after further adjustment for blood pressure/hypertension and body mass index (BMI). CONCLUSIONS A potential association was found between insulin resistance and cSVD, and the ISI0,120 index presented a greater association with increased risk of cSVD as compared with the HOMA-IR. However, these associations were greatly influenced by blood pressure and BMI.

Abstract
Bright, short-pulsed neutron beams from laser-driven neutron sources (LANSs) provide a new perspective on material screening via fast neutron activation analysis (FNAA). FNAA is a nondestructive technique for determining material elemental composition based on nuclear excitation by fast neutron bombardment and subsequent spectral analysis of prompt γ-rays emitted by the active nuclei. Our recent experiments and simulations have shown that activation analysis can be used in practice with modest neutron fluences on the order of 105 n/cm2, which is available with current laser technology. In addition, time-resolved γ-ray measurements combined with picosecond neutron probes from LANSs are effective in mitigating the issue of spectral interference between elements, enabling highly accurate screening of complex samples containing many elements. This paper describes the predictive capability of LANS-based activation analysis based on experimental demonstrations and spectral calculations with Monte Carlo simulations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to examine the associations of Life's Simple 7 (LS7) with risks of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) and its magnetic resonance imaging markers. METHODS Community-dwelling residents in Lishui city in China from the cross-sectional survey of the PRECISE study (Polyvascular Evaluation for Cognitive Impairment and Vascular Events) were included in this study from 2017 to 2019. LS7 was analyzed as the total score, medical score (derived from the 3 metrics based on medical history and testing), and behavioral score (based on 4 metrics based on behaviors), and categorized as poor, intermediate, or ideal. A CSVD score or a modified CSVD score was derived from 4 magnetic resonance imaging markers (lacunes, microbleeds, perivascular spaces, and white matter hyperintensity) at baseline. Binary logistic regression or ordinal logistic regression model was used to estimate the relationship of LS7 scores with CSVD and magnetic resonance imaging markers. RESULTS A total of 3061 participants were included in this study. Compared with poor total LS7 score, ideal LS7 total score was associated with reduced adjusted odds of higher CSVD score (common odds ratio [cOR], 0.73 [95% CI, 0.58-0.90]) and higher modified CSVD score (cOR, 0.78 [95% CI, 0.64-0.95]). Compared with poor LS7 medical score, ideal LS7 medical score was associated with reduced adjusted odds of higher CSVD score (cOR, 0.65 [95% CI, 0.53-0.80]) and higher modified CSVD score (cOR, 0.67 [95% CI, 0.56-0.81]). Higher total LS7 score and LS7 medical score were associated with a lower risk of white matter hyperintensities and lacunes. Higher LS7 behavioral score was associated with lower risk of lacunes. CONCLUSIONS Ideal LS7 score, indicating excellent cardiovascular health, was associated with lower total CSVD burden. Optimizing the risk factors captured by LS7 may reduce the progression of CSVD.

Abstract
Recognizing early cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) imaging phenotypes can help identify opportunities for effective treatment before irreversible myocardial pathology occurs. We aimed to characterize regional CS myocardial remodeling features correlating with future adverse cardiac events by coupling automated image processing and data analysis on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging datasets. A deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) was used to process a CMR database of a 10-year cohort of 117 consecutive biopsy-proven sarcoidosis patients. The maximum relevance - minimum redundancy method was used to select the best subset of all the features-24 (from manual processing) and 232 (from automated processing) left ventricular (LV) structural/functional features. Three machine learning (ML) algorithms, logistic regression (LogR), support vector machine (SVM) and multi-layer neural networks (MLP), were used to build classifiers to categorize endpoints. Over a median follow-up of 41.8 (inter-quartile range 20.4-60.5) months, 35 sarcoidosis patients experienced a total of 43 cardiac events. After manual processing, LV ejection fraction (LVEF), late gadolinium enhancement, abnormal segmental wall motion, LV mass (LVM), LVMI index (LVMI), septal wall thickness, lateral wall thickness, relative wall thickness, and wall thickness of 9 (out of 17) individual LV segments were significantly different between patients with and without endpoints. After automated processing, LVEF, end-diastolic volume, end-systolic volume, LV mass and wall thickness of 92 (out of 216) individual LV segments were significantly different between patients with and without endpoints. To achieve the best predictive performance, ML algorithms selected lateral wall thickness, abnormal segmental wall motion, septal wall thickness, and increased wall thickness of 3 individual segments after manual image processing, and selected end-diastolic volume and 7 individual segments after automated image processing. LogR, SVM and MLP based on automated image processing consistently showed better predictive accuracies than those based on manual image processing. Automated image processing with a DCNN improves data resolution and regional CS myocardial remodeling pattern recognition, suggesting that a framework coupling automated image processing with data analysis can help clinical risk stratification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebral large artery and small vessel diseases are related to different pathogenetic mechanisms and have different risk factor profile. Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) was shown to promote atherosclerosis but data was limited on its association with cerebral small vessel diseases (cSVD). The objective of this study was to assess the associations of Lp(a) level with the two types of cerebrovascular diseases. METHODS Community-dwelling subjects aged 50-75 years from the baseline survey of The PolyvasculaR Evaluation for Cognitive Impairment and vaScular Events study were included. Lp(a) concentrations was measured and categorised into three groups according to the tertiles. Eligible participants were scanned by a 3.0T MRI scanner and assessed for intracranial atherosclerosis and cSVD burden based on four imaging markers. RESULTS This study included 3059 subjects. The average age of the participants was 61.2±6.7 years, and 53.5% (1636) were female. Compared with the first tertile, subjects with the second and third tertiles of Lp(a) concentrations were associated with an increased odds of presence of intracranial plaque (18.7% vs 15.4%, adj.OR 1.37, 95% CI 1.08 to 1.75; 18.9% vs 15.4%, adj.OR 1.34, 95% CI 1.05 to 1.72). Similar associations were observed for intracranial atherosclerotic burden. Whereas, subjects with the third tertile of Lp(a) level had a decreased odds of presence of cSVD (25.9% vs 31.7%, adj.OR 0.74, 95% CI 0.60 to 0.92) and lower cSVD burden (adj.cOR 0.76, 95% CI 0.62 to 0.94). CONCLUSIONS In this study, Lp(a) concentrations were positively associated with presence and burden of intracranial atherosclerosis, but was inversely associated with cSVD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND:
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum cystatin C levels and the presence and severity of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD).
METHODS:
Community-dwelling residents in the Lishui city in China from the cross-sectional survey of the PRECISE (Poly-Vascular Evaluation for Cognitive Impairment and Vascular Events) cohort study were included in present study from 2017 to 2019. Total CSVD burden and modified total CSVD burden score, as well as the markers of CSVD on magnetic resonance imaging, including white matter hyperintensity, lacunes, cerebral microbleeds, and perivascular spaces, were assessed at baseline survey. Participants were divided into 4 groups according to the quartiles of cystatin C. The association of serum cystatin C with total CSVD burden and imaging markers was analyzed using ordinal or binary logistic regression models. Furthermore, 2-sample Mendelian randomization analysis was performed to investigate the genetically predicted effect of cystatin C on CSVD.
RESULTS:
A total of 3061 participants were included in this study. The mean age of the participants was 61.2±6.7 years, and 1637 (53.5%) were women. Higher level of cystatin C was associated with an increased total CSVD burden and modified total CSVD burden (Q4 versus Q1: common odds ratio [OR], 1.30 [95% CI, 1.03–1.64] and 1.32 [95% CI, 1.01–1.73]) after adjustment for covariates. Further, compared with the first quartile of cystatin C, subjects in the last quartile had higher risk of lacunes (OR, 1.99 [95% CI, 1.05–3.76]), modified white matter hyperintensity burden (common OR, 1.42 [95% CI, 1.07–1.90]), and moderate-to-severe perivascular spaces (OR, 2.15 [95% CI, 1.29–3.59]) but not cerebral microbleeds. The Mendelian randomization analysis showed that a genetically predicted higher cystatin C level was associated with increased risk of lacunar stroke (OR, 1.16 [95% CI, 1.06–1.27]).
CONCLUSIONS:
In this community-based study, we found a possible association between cystatin C and CSVD, especially for lacunes, that was independent of estimated glomerular filtration rate.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Data are limited on the prevalence and vascular distribution of multiterritorial atherosclerotic plaque and stenosis in community populations. OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence and vascular distribution of multiterritorial atherosclerotic plaque and stenosis in older, community-dwelling populations in China. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This cross-sectional study was based on the baseline survey from the Polyvascular Evaluation for Cognitive Impairment and Vascular Events (PRECISE) study, a population-based prospective cohort study that enrolled community-dwelling adults aged 50 to 75 years based on cluster sampling from 6 villages and 4 living communities of Lishui city in southeast China. Data were collected from May 2017 to September 2019 and analyzed from September to November 2021. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Atherosclerotic plaque and stenosis at baseline were assessed in multiple vascular territories. Brain vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for intracranial and extracranial arteries; computed tomography angiography (CTA) for coronary, subclavian, aorta, renal, and iliofemoral arteries; and ankle-brachial index for peripheral arteries were performed at baseline survey. The extent of atherosclerosis was assessed according to the number of these 8 vascular sites affected, and polyvascular lesions were defined as at least 2 affected sites. RESULTS A total of 3433 of 4202 invited individuals consented to participate in the study. After excluding 366 participants with contraindications for MRI or CTA scanning, with life expectancies of 4 years of fewer, or with mental disease, a total of 3067 community-dwelling adults were enrolled. The mean (SD) age was 61.2 (6.7) years; 1640 (53.5%) were women, and 74 (2.4%) had prevalent ASCVD. Most participants (2870 [93.6%]) had atherosclerotic plaques in at least 1 vascular territory. Atherosclerotic plaques were mostly detected in the aorta (2419 [79.6%]) and iliofemoral arteries (2312 [75.8%]), followed by subclavian (1500 [49.8%]), coronary (1366 [44.9%]), extracranial (1110 [36.4%]), renal (873 [28.7%]), and intracranial (542 [17.7%]) arteries. A substantial proportion of participants (1180 [38.5%]) had arterial stenosis of 50% or greater, predominantly affecting the coronary (542 [17.8%]) and iliofemoral (527 [17.3%]) arteries. Polyvascular atherosclerotic plaque was observed in 2541 participants (82.8%), with 1436 (46.8%) with plaque affecting 4 or more vascular territories, and polyvascular stenosis was observed in 412 patients (13.4%). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this study, atherosclerotic plaque was highly prevalent in the older community population in China, and a substantial proportion of individuals reach stenosis of 50% or greater.

Abstract
Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) show strong nano-toxic effects on organisms. Hydrogen sulphide (H2 S) plays a pivotal role in plant response to abiotic stress. In this study, we examine the crucial role of the cell wall as regulated by H2 S in response to CuO NPs stress. The digestion method was employed to determine Cu content using atomic absorption spectrometry. The TraKine pro-tubulin staining kit was used to investigate the microtubule cytoskeleton using confocal laser-scanning microscopy. Cell wall component analysis utilized the ICS-3000 HPLC system. Application of H2 S reduced growth inhibition caused by CuO NPs. Furthermore, most of the CuO NPs accumulates in roots, indicating a low transfer rate, and H2 S significantly decreased CuO NPs content in roots, leaves and stems. Subcellular distribution analysis implied most Cu accumulated in root cell walls, and that H2 S reduced the content of Cu in root cell walls. Cortical microtubules in the plasma membrane, guide cell wall biosynthesis. H2 S obviously alleviated microtubule cytoskeleton disorders caused by CuO NPs. In addition, the content of cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin and other monosaccharides in root cell walls was reduced by CuO NPs treatment. H2 S enhanced the monosaccharide and polysaccharide contents compared with that after CuO NPs treatment. In conclusion, H2 S regulates cell wall development in response to CuO NPs stress by stabilizing microtubules. H2 S affected Cu distribution and alleviated growth inhibition of tomato seedlings. The research results provide a theoretical basis for further study of nano-toxicity regulation in plants.

Abstract
Background This study investigated the relationships of neutrophil count (NC), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). Methods A total of 3052 community-dwelling residents from the Poly-vasculaR Evaluation for Cognitive Impairment and vaScular Events (PRECISE) study were involved in this cross-sectional study. CSVD burden and imaging markers, including white matter hyperintensity (WMH), lacunes, cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) and enlarged perivascular spaces in basal ganglia (BG-EPVS), were assessed according to total CSVD burden score. The associations of NC, NLR and SII with CSVD and imaging markers were evaluated using logistic regression models. Furthermore, two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was performed to investigate the genetically predicted effect of NC on CSVD. The prognostic performances of NC, NLR and SII for the presence of CSVD were assessed. Results At baseline, the mean age was 61.2 ± 6.7 years, and 53.5% of the participants were female. Higher NC was suggestively associated with increased total CSVD burden and modified total CSVD burden (Q4 vs. Q1: common odds ratio (cOR) 1.33, 95% CI 1.05–1.70; cOR 1.28, 95% CI 1.02–1.60) and marginally correlated with the presence of CSVD (OR 1.29, 95% CI 1.00–1.66). Furthermore, elevated NC was linked to a higher risk of lacune (OR 2.13, 95% CI 1.25–3.62) and moderate-to-severe BG-EPVS (OR 1.67, 95% CI 1.14–2.44). A greater NLR was related to moderate-to-severe BG-EPVS (OR 1.68, 95% CI 1.16–2.45). Individuals with a higher SII had an increased risk of modified WMH burden (OR 1.35, 95% CI 1.08–1.69) and moderate-to-severe BG-EPVS (OR 1.70, 95% CI 1.20–2.41). MR analysis showed that genetically predicted higher NC was associated with an increased risk of lacunar stroke (OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.04–1.39) and small vessel stroke (OR 1.21, 95% CI 1.06–1.38). The addition of NC to the basic model with traditional risk factors improved the predictive ability for the presence of CSVD, as validated by the net reclassification index and integrated discrimination index (all p < 0.05). Conclusions This community-based population study found a suggestive association between NC and CSVD, especially for BG-EPVS and lacune, and provided evidence supporting the prognostic significance of NC.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the medium-long term efficacy of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) for gastrointestinal hemorrhage in patients with idiopathic non-cirrhotic portal hypertension (INCPH). Methods: From March 2013 to July 2018, clinical data of 13 INCPH patients, including 5 males, 8 females,with gastrointestinal hemorrhage were retrospectively analyzed, who were diagnosed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Anyang Fifth People' s Hospital and Yuncheng Central Hospital. All patients received TIPS treatment. The general information, postoperative survival rate, the incidence of rebleeding, shunt dysfunction rate, and incidence of hepatic encephalopathy were analyzed. Results: All 13 patients with INCPH completed TIPS successfully with an average age of 45±8 (33 to 59) years. The hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) decreased from 20.0-26.0 (22.6±1.9) mmHg before procedure to 8.0-14.0 (9.4±3.2) mmHg after. The median follow-up time was 44±7 (31 to 53) months.

Abstract
Objective: To better understand the clinical characteristics of pulmonary nocardiosis associated with bronchiectasis. Methods: Patients diagnosed as bronchiectasis complicated with pulmonary nocardiosis in 9 tertiary general hospitals in China were enrolled from March 2016 to March 2020, with the record of general data, imaging performance and pathogen. The literature was reviewed. Results: Totally 17 patients were included. There were 12 females and 5 males. The ages ranged from 45 to 79 years, with an average of (63±9) years. There were 15 nonsmokers and 2 smokers, all of whom with chronic course. The clinical manifestations were mostly cough, expectoration, hemoptysis, fever, and dyspnea. The imaging manifestation was bronchiectasis in both lungs, with the most common involvement in the left lower lung, right middle lobe and left lingual lobe. Sputum cultures were positive in 10 cases, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) cultures were positive in 6 cases, and next generation gene sequencings were positive in 4 cases, including 2 cases of Nocardia gelsenkii, 2 cases of Nocardia abscess, 2 cases of Nocardia stellate, 1 case of Nocardia mexicana, 1 case of Nocardia otitis caviae, and 9 cases of undetermined Nocardia. There were 3 cases of Klebsiella pneumoniae, 2 cases of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 2 cases of Aspergillus. The symptoms and imaging of all patients were improved after anti Nocardia therapy. Conclusions: Bronchiectasis combined with nocardiosis is more common in middle-aged and elderly women without smoking, which is similar to the clinical manifestations of Lady Windermere syndrome. Bronchiectasis often involves the left lower lobe, right middle lobe and left lingual lobe. Nocardia infection might further precipitate the initiation and progression of bronchiectasis.

Abstract
There is little information on the risk for catheter-related thrombosis in patients with upper limb lymphedema following breast cancer treatment. We investigated the association between upper limb lymphedema and the risk of peripherally inserted central catheterrelated thrombosis (PICC-RT) occurring in the contralateral limb of patients with breast cancer. A retrospective review analyzed all patients with breast cancer who underwent PICC insertion at a cancer hospital in Hunan Province from 2015 to 2019. Upper limb lymphedema was indexed from hospital information system (HIS) before the occurrence of PICC-RT developed in the contralateral limb. Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the association of factors with outcome. A total of 1,262 patient records were found and 50 cases of PICC-RT were identified. Forty of these occurred in patients without lymphedema (n=1,236) and 10 in patients with upper limb lymphedema (n=26). After adjustment for various co-variables, Cox regression analysis showed that upper limb lymphedema was significantly associated with increased risk of PICC-RT (hazard ratio=12.128, 95% confidence interval=5.551-26.501; P<0.001). In breast cancer patients, upper limb lymphedema may be an important predictor for PICC-RT in the contralateral limb and information should be provided to patients.

Abstract
Background Estimated plasma volume status (ePVS) has been reported that associated with poor prognosis in heart failure patients. However, no researchinvestigated the association of ePVS and prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Therefore, we aimed to determine the association between ePVS and in-hospital mortality in AMI patients. Methods and results We extracted AMI patients data from MIMIC-III database. A generalized additive model and logistic regression model were used to demonstrate the association between ePVS levels and in-hospital mortality in AMI patients. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis was used to pooled the in-hospital mortality between the various group. ROC curve analysis were used to assessed the discrimination of ePVS for predicting in-hospital mortality. 1534 eligible subjects (1004 males and 530 females) with an average age of 67.36 ± 0.36 years old were included in our study finally. 136 patients (73 males and 63 females) died in hospital, with the prevalence of in-hospital mortality was 8.9%. The result of the Kaplan–Meier analysis showed that the high-ePVS group (ePVS ≥ 5.28 mL/g) had significant lower survival possibility in-hospital admission compared with the low-ePVS group (ePVS < 5.28 mL/g). In the unadjusted model, high-level of ePVS was associated with higher OR (1.09; 95% CI 1.06–1.12; P < 0.001) compared with low-level of ePVS. After adjusted the vital signs data, laboratory data, and treatment, high-level of ePVS were also associated with increased OR of in-hospital mortality, 1.06 (95% CI 1.03–1.09; P < 0.001), 1.05 (95% CI 1.01–1.08; P = 0.009), 1.04 (95% CI 1.01–1.07; P = 0.023), respectively. The ROC curve indicated that ePVS has acceptable discrimination for predicting in-hospital mortality. The AUC value was found to be 0.667 (95% CI 0.653–0.681). Conclusion Higher ePVS values, calculated simply from Duarte’s formula (based on hemoglobin/hematocrit) was associated with poor prognosis in AMI patients. EPVS is a predictor for predicting in-hospital mortality of AMI, and could help refine risk stratification.

Abstract
Objective Our study aimed to assess the risk of all fractures and hip fractures in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who took non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) compared to warfarin. Methods We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library and Clinical Trials.gov Website. Reviewed related researches up to January 31, 2020, to identify studies with more than 12 months of follow-up data. The protocol for this systematic review and meta-analysis has been registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO Number: CRD42020156893). Results We included five RCT studies, and five observational studies that contained a total of 326,846 patients in our meta-analysis. Our meta-analysis showed that patients taken NOACs had no significant all fracture risk (RR = 0.91, 95% CI [0.81–1.01]) and hip fracture risk (RR = 0.92, 95% CI [0.82–1.03]) compared with those taken warfarin. Subanalysis showed that the risk of all fractures and hip fractures treated by NOACs were significant lower compared with warfarin in observational studies compared with RCT studies. Also, a subanalysis across the duration of anticoagulation showed the NOACs users have lower all fracture risk than warfarin users when the duration of anticoagulation ≤2 years (RR = 0.89, 95% CI [0.80–0.99]). Further analysis, significant lower all fracture risk in the rivaroxaban therapy (RR = 0.81; 95% CI [0.76–0.86]) compared with warfarin but no statistical significance in hip fracture. There were no significant difference of all fracture risk and hip fracture risk in dabigatran, apixaban, and edoxaban therapy compared with warfarin. Conclusion The meta-analysis demonstrated that NOACs associated with a significantly lower all fracture risk compared with warfarin when the duration of anticoagulation more than 2 years. Rivaroxaban users had lower risk of all fracture than warfarin users in AF patients. But there was no evidence to verify apixaban, edoxaban, and dabigatranin could decrease all fracture and hip fracture risk compared with warfarin.

Abstract
AIM The survival of Clostridioides difficile (previously Clostridium difficile) vegetative cells and endospores was compared at different levels of indigenous microflora using autoclaved and unautoclaved dairy composts with different moisture contents (MCs). METHODS AND RESULTS Both types of composts adjusted to 20, 30 and 40% MCs were inoculated with a suspension of C. difficile that contained both vegetative cells (c. 5-6 log CFU per gram) and endospores (c. 5·0 CFU per gram), and then stored aerobically inside a humidity-controlled chamber at room temperature 22·5 ± 0·8°C for 1 year. The level of indigenous microflora was very stable during the storage after day 7 in both types of compost. The greatest reductions of C. difficile vegetative cell counts occurred during the first 24 h of storage in autoclaved and unautoclaved composts, which had 4·7 and 5·5 log CFU per gram with 20% MC, 1·8 and 2·1 log CFU per gram with 30% MC, and 2·3 and 1·3 log CFU per gram with 40% MC, respectively. Both MC and the duration of storage have significant (P < 0·05) effects on the survival of vegetative cells for first 120 days of storage. The slow inactivation of C. difficile vegetative cells at higher MCs during aerobic storage was confirmed by exponentially decaying modelling data during the early stage of aerobic exposure. The reduction of endospore counts (<1·0 log CFU per gram) during the storage for both types of compost at all MCs was not significant (P > 0·05) except for the autoclaved compost with 30% MC. CONCLUSION The highly resistant C. difficile endospores to the unfavourable environmental conditions survived for more than a year while vegetative cells died off exponentially upon the initial aerobic exposure. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The long-term survival of C. difficile endospores in contaminated compost may transmit the pathogen to fresh produce, animals or water in pre-harvest conditions.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to investigate the clinicopathologic features of primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma arising from an odontogenic keratocyst (PIOSCC ex OKC) and comprehensively improve the understanding of this disease.
Material and Methods We retrospectively investigated five cases of PIOSCC ex OKC at Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology. We also conducted a systematic review of studies on PIOSCC ex OKC by using online databases from their inception until February 2020.
Results In our series of five cases, all lesions were located in the mandible. Three cases (60%) showed recurrent OKCs and two cases (40%) showed primary OKCs. During the follow-up period, one patient died of local relapse. No patients developed metastasis. On the basis of our literature survey, we selected 22 articles reporting 29 patients with PIOSCC ex OKC. Seven of these patients (24.1%) showed local recurrence, three patients (10.3%) developed cervical metastasis, three patients (10.3%) developed distant metastasis (in the pleura in one case and in the lung in two cases), and seven patients died from the disease during the follow-up period. The disease-specific 5-year survival rate in the study group was 53.2%. Through univariate and multivariate analysis, local recurrence was identified as the only significant independent prognostic factor for survival (P < 0.05).
Conclusions The results suggest that PIOSCC ex OKC is a rare intermediate-grade malignancy. Although elective neck dissection is typically unnecessary, adequate therapy should be applied to achieve the lowest local recurrence rate possible to ensure a favorable survival rate. Key words:Primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma, odontogenic keratocyst, prognosis.

Abstract
Background and purpose Cardiovascular diseases and dementia are two major diseases in the elderly. Atherosclerosis is associated with future vascular events and cognitive impairment. The PolyvasculaR Evaluation for Cognitive Impairment and vaScular Events (PRECISE) study is a population-based prospective cohort study with comprehensive evaluation of multiterritorial artery stenosis and plaque using advanced vascular imaging techniques and prospective collection of vascular events and cognitive assessments. Methods Between May 2017 and September 2019, the PRECISE study enrolled 3067 community-dwelling adults with ages between 50 and 75 years cluster sampled from six villages and four communities of Lishui city in China. Data are collected in face-to-face interviews at baseline, 2-year and 4-year follow-up visits. Brain MRI including high-resolution sequences for intracranial and carotidal arteries and CT angiography for thoracoabdominal arteries were performed at baseline and will be rescanned after 4 years. Cardiovascular/cerebrovascular events and cognitive assessment will be prospectively collected after the enrollment. Blood and urine samples were collected and biomarkers were tested at baseline. Results A total of 3067 subjects were enrolled, among which 53.5% were female with an average age of 61.2±6.7 years. Among them, 2.8%, 8.1%, 43.1% and 21.6% had a history of stroke, coronary heart diseases, hypertension and diabetes mellitus, respectively. Conclusions The PRECISE study is a population-based prospective cohort study with comprehensive evaluation of atherosclerotic stenosis and plaque using advanced vascular imaging techniques. Data from this cohort provide us an opportunity to precisely evaluate polyvascular atherosclerosis and its association with future vascular events and cognitive impairment. Trial registration number ClinicalTrials.gov Registry (NCT03178448).

Abstract
Objective: Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs), which appear as small dot-like hypointense lesions, are strongly associated with cerebrovascular disease. Recently, numerous investigations have suggested that hypertension and age are risk factors for CMBs; however, whether blood pressure grade and age rank are related to the severity of CMBs remains unclear. The purpose of this research was to assess the association between cerebral microbleeds and blood pressure levels.Methods: In total, 460 consecutive hypertension patients (214 males and 246 females; aged 44-96 years, mean age 60.95 ± 6.82 years) from Lishui Central Hospital were enrolled and classified as CMB or non-CMB patients according to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Gradient echo T2*-weighted MRI was used to detect CMBs. Differences in blood pressure, CMB severity, and other patient characteristics were compared between the two groups. Multifactorial logistic regression was used to analyze the correlation between blood pressure and microbleeds.Results: In our study, CMB lesions were identified in 123 patients (26.7%), including 39 patients with CMB lesions located deep in the brain. In the hypertensive population, smoking is an independent risk factor for CMBs. Additionally, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and age are also independent risk factors for CMBs. Furthermore, a modest correlation was noted between the number of microbleeds and grade of hypertension.Conclusions: This study provides novel evidence that microbleed severity is associated with hypertension grade. This conclusion emphasizes the importance of antihypertensive therapy in hypertension patients to avoid an increase in CMBs.
