Vertical migration behavior simulation and prediction of Pb and Cd in co-contaminated soil around Pb-Zn smelting slag site

Heavy metal migration in soil poses a serious threat to the soil and groundwater. Understanding the migration pattern of heavy metals (HMs) under different factors could provide a more reasonable position for pollution evaluation and targetoriented treatment of soil heavy metal. In this study, the migration behavior of Pb and Cd in co-contaminated soil under different pH and ionic strength (NaCl concentration) was simulated using convective dispersion equation (CDE). We predicted the migration trends of Pb and Cd in soils after 5, 10, and 20 years via PHREEQC. The results showed that the migration time of Cd in the soil column experiment was about 60 days faster than that of Pb, and the migration trend was much steeper. The CDE was proved to describe the migration behavior of Pb and Cd (R2 > 0.75) in soil. The predicted results showed that Cd migrated to 15-20 cm of soil within 7 years and Pb stayed mainly in the top 0-6 cm of soil within 5 years as the duration of irrigation increased. Overall, our study is expected to provide new insight into the migration of heavy metal in soil ecosystems and guidance for reducing risk of heavy metal in the environment.

Breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 infection and disease flares in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: result from COVAD e-survey study

COVID-19 has been suggested as a possible trigger of disease flares in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, factors associated with disease flares remain unknown. This study aimed to identify factors associated with breakthrough infection (BIs) and disease flares in patients with RA following COVID-19. We analysed data from RA patients who participated in the COVID-19 vaccination in autoimmune diseases (COVAD) study. Demographic data, patient-reported outcomes, comorbidities, pharmacologic treatment and details regarding disease flares were extracted from the COVAD database. Factors associated with disease flare-ups were determined by multivariate logistic regression analysis. The analysis comprised 1928 patients with RA who participated in the COVAD study. Younger age, Caucasian ethnicity, comorbidities with obstructive chronic pulmonary disease and asthma were associated with COVID-19 breakthrough infection. Moreover, younger age (odds ratio (OR): 0.98, 95% CI 0.96-0.99, p < 0.001), ethnicity other than Asian, past history of tuberculosis (OR: 3.80, 95% CI 1.12-12.94, p = 0.033), treatment with methotrexate (OR: 2.55, 95% CI: 1.56-4.17, p < 0.001), poor global physical health (OR: 1.07, 95% CI 1.00-1.15, p = 0.044) and mental health (OR: 0.91, 95% CI 0.87-0.95, p < 0.001) were independent factors associated disease flares in patients with RA. Our study highlights the impact of socio-demographic factors, clinical characteristics and mental health on disease flares in patients with RA. These insights may help determine relevant strategies to proactively manage RA patients at risk of flares.

UHRF1P contributes to IL-17A-mediated systemic lupus erythematosus via UHRF1-MAP4K3 axis

Inflammatory T cells contribute to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Analysis of the T-cell transcriptomics data of two independent SLE patient cohorts by three machine learning models revealed the pseudogene UHRF1P as a novel SLE biomarker. The pseudogene-encoded UHRF1P protein was overexpressed in peripheral blood T cells of SLE patients. The UHRF1P protein lacks the amino-terminus of its parental UHRF1 protein, resulting in missing the proteasome-binding ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain of UHRF1. T-cell-specific UHRF1P transgenic mice manifested the induction of IL-17A and autoimmune inflammation. Mechanistically, UHFR1P prevented UHRF1-induced Lys48-linked ubiquitination and degradation of MAP4K3 (GLK), which is a kinase known to induce IL-17A. Consistently, IL-17A induction and autoimmune phenotypes of UHRF1P transgenic mice were obliterated by MAP4K3 knockout. Collectively, UHRF1P overexpression in T cells inhibits the E3 ligase function of its parental UHRF1 and induces autoimmune diseases.

Polygenic Risk Score Predicts Earlier-Onset Adult Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and First-Year Renal Diseases in a Taiwanese Cohort

OBJECTIVES

This study aimed to develop a predictive model using polygenic risk score (PRS) to forecast renal outcomes for adult systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in a Taiwanese population.

METHODS

Patients with SLE (n=2782) and matched non-SLE controls (n=11 128) were genotyped using Genome-Wide TWB 2.0 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array. PRS models (C+T, LDpred2, Lassosum, PRSice-2, PRS-continuous shrinkage (CS)) were constructed for predicting SLE susceptibility. Logistic regression was assessed for C+T-based PRS association with renal involvement in patients with SLE.

RESULTS

In the training set, C+T-based SLE-PRS, only incorporating 27 SNPs, outperformed other models with area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.629, surpassing Lassosum (AUC=0.621), PRSice-2 (AUC=0.615), LDpred2 (AUC=0.609) and PRS-CS (AUC=0.602). Additionally, C+T-based SLE-PRS demonstrated consistent predictive capacity in the testing set (AUC=0.620). Individuals in the highest quartile exhibited earlier SLE onset (39.06 vs 44.22 years, p<0.01), higher Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index scores (3.00 vs 2.37, p=0.04), elevated risks of renal involvement within the first year of SLE diagnosis, including WHO class III-IV lupus nephritis (OR 2.36, 95% CI 1.47 to 3.80, p<0.01), estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73m2 (OR 1.49, 95% CI 1.18 to 1.89, p<0.01) and urine protein-to-creatinine ratio >150 mg/day (OR 2.07, 95% CI 1.49 to 2.89, p<0.01), along with increased seropositivity risks, compared with those in the lowest quartile. Furthermore, among patients with SLE with onset before 50 years, the highest PRS quartile was significantly associated with more serious renal diseases within the first year of SLE diagnosis.

CONCLUSIONS

PRS of SLE is associated with earlier onset, renal involvement within the first year of SLE diagnosis and seropositivity in Taiwanese patients. Integrating PRS with clinical decision-making may enhance lupus nephritis screening and early treatment to improve renal outcomes in patients with SLE.

Observation of WWγ Production and Search for Hγ Production in Proton-Proton Collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV

The observation of WWγ production in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV with an integrated luminosity of 138  fb^{-1} is presented. The observed (expected) significance is 5.6 (5.1) standard deviations. Events are selected by requiring exactly two leptons (one electron and one muon) of opposite charge, moderate missing transverse momentum, and a photon. The measured fiducial cross section for WWγ is 5.9±0.8(stat)±0.8(syst)±0.7(modeling)  fb, in agreement with the next-to-leading order quantum chromodynamics prediction. The analysis is extended with a search for the associated production of the Higgs boson and a photon, which is generated by a coupling of the Higgs boson to light quarks. The result is used to constrain the Higgs boson couplings to light quarks.

[Analysis of clinical characteristics of persistent HBeAg positivity in patients with chronic hepatitis B treated with nucleos(t)ide analogues]

Objective: To explore the clinical characteristics of persistent HBeAg positivity in patients with chronic hepatitis B treated with nucleos(t)ide analogues. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed according to different data types. An independent sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test, or Fisher's exact probability method were used. Chronic hepatitis B patients followed up for four years were collected from the follow-up case database of the Department of Infectious Diseases of Zhongshan Third Hospital from January 2009 to December 2018 and were divided into two groups, A and B, with 87 and 145 cases respectively, according to the duration of HBeAg-negativity≤ 3 and persistent positivity >3 years. Statistical analysis was conducted on the age, gender, family history, baseline, follow-up visit duration, liver function, and other data among the two patient groups. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in gender, age, family history of liver cirrhosis, family history of liver cancer, liver cirrhosis condition before treatment, fatty liver disease combined condition before treatment, baseline HBsAg, anti-HBc, alanine aminotransferase, albumin, or total bilirubin between the two groups of patients (P > 0.05). HBV DNA and HBeAg were significantly higher in group B than those in group A at baseline, with P≤0.001. Aspartate aminotransferase and γ-glutamyl transferase were significantly higher in group A than those in group B at baseline. The proportion of family history of hepatitis B was significantly higher in group B (69.0%) than that in group A (50.6%) among the two groups of patients, and the difference was statistically significant (P = 0.005). The proportion of mothers with hepatitis B was significantly higher in group B (25.5%) than in group A (11.5%), P = 0.010. During the treatment process, the HBV DNA quantification was significantly higher in group B than that in group A at 0.5 and 1 years (P≤0.002). The proportion of HBV DNA <100IU/ml was also significantly different at six months and one year (χ(2)=30.327, P < 0.001 and χ(2)=11.779, P = 0.001). The HBsAg level was higher in group B than that of group A in the second and fourth years, P < 0.05. During the entire treatment process, the HBeAg level was significantly higher in group B than that in group A (P < 0.001). A total of seven cases developed liver cirrhosis or cancer during follow-up, including three cases in group A and four cases in group B (P > 0.05). Conclusion: HBeAg-positive patients with chronic hepatitis B have persistent HBeAg positivity when treated with long-term nucleos(t)ide analogues. Accordingly, a greater proportion of this kind of patient family and mothers have a remarkable history of hepatitis B and a reduced HBV DNA relapse rate in the early stages (within a year or less).

L-Type Calcium Channel Modulates Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound-Induced Excitation in Cultured Hippocampal Neurons

As a noninvasive technique, ultrasound stimulation is known to modulate neuronal activity both in vitro and in vivo. The latest explanation of this phenomenon is that the acoustic wave can activate the ion channels and further impact the electrophysiological properties of targeted neurons. However, the underlying mechanism of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS)-induced neuro-modulation effects is still unclear. Here, we characterize the excitatory effects of LIPUS on spontaneous activity and the intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis in cultured hippocampal neurons. By whole-cell patch clamp recording, we found that 15 min of 1-MHz LIPUS boosts the frequency of both spontaneous action potentials and spontaneous excitatory synaptic currents (sEPSCs) and also increases the amplitude of sEPSCs in hippocampal neurons. This phenomenon lasts for > 10 min after LIPUS exposure. Together with Ca2+ imaging, we clarified that LIPUS increases the [Ca2+]cyto level by facilitating L-type Ca2+ channels (LTCCs). In addition, due to the [Ca2+]cyto elevation by LIPUS exposure, the Ca2+-dependent CaMKII-CREB pathway can be activated within 30 min to further regulate the gene transcription and protein expression. Our work suggests that LIPUS regulates neuronal activity in a Ca2+-dependent manner via LTCCs. This may also explain the multi-activation effects of LIPUS beyond neurons. LIPUS stimulation potentiates spontaneous neuronal activity by increasing Ca2+ influx.

New Structures in the J/ψJ/ψ Mass Spectrum in Proton-Proton Collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV

A search is reported for near-threshold structures in the J/ψJ/ψ invariant mass spectrum produced in proton-proton collisions at sqrt[s]=13  TeV from data collected by the CMS experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 135  fb^{-1}. Three structures are found, and a model with quantum interference among these structures provides a good description of the data. A new structure is observed with a local significance above 5 standard deviations at a mass of 6638_{-38}^{+43}(stat)_{-31}^{+16}(syst)  MeV. Another structure with even higher significance is found at a mass of 6847_{-28}^{+44}(stat)_{-20}^{+48}(syst)  MeV, which is consistent with the X(6900) resonance reported by the LHCb experiment and confirmed by the ATLAS experiment. Evidence for another new structure, with a local significance of 4.7 standard deviations, is found at a mass of 7134_{-25}^{+48}(stat)_{-15}^{+41}(syst)  MeV. Results are also reported for a model without interference, which does not fit the data as well and shows mass shifts up to 150 MeV relative to the model with interference.

Head and Neck Soft Tissue Sarcoma Patient: Age and Tumor Region Are Predictive in Disease-Free Survival and Overall Survival

BACKGROUND

Head and neck soft tissue sarcoma (HNSTS), rare and heterogeneous malignancies, are treated primarily treated with surgery. However, prognostic indicators that might guide HNSTS management are poorly defined.

PURPOSE

Main purpose of this study is to find variables linked to HNSTS patients' prognosis. Assessment of the Tumor, Node, Metastatis (TNM) system is the secondary purpose.

STUDY DESIGN, SETTING, SAMPLE

This study is a retrospective cohort performed on HNSTS patients who received surgery at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Head and Neck Oncology, Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University from January 1, 2006, to December 31, 2014. Strict inclusion criteria were applied.

PREDICTOR VARIABLE

The predictor variable was a set of heterogenous risk factors and were grouped into the following categories: demographic (age and gender), clinical (primary tumor, tumor region, tumor size, and TNM stage), and treatment (surgical margin, treatment therapy).

MAIN OUTCOME VARIABLE(S)

The primary outcome variables were time to 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) and 5-year overall survival (OS). The secondary outcome variables were time to 5-year tumor local recurrence and metastasis.

COVARIATES

Not applicable.

ANALYSES

Descriptive statistical analysis was carried out. Pearson χ2 test was employed in univariate analysis. Cox regression was modified for multiple variable analysis with components that had significant P values in univariate analysis or variables with potential prognostic value. Log-rank test was applied to compare survival situations under various variables. P value less than .05 was statistically significant.

RESULTS

The sample was composed of 100 subjects with a mean age of 43.47 (standard deviation: 16.15) years old and 56 (56%) were male. The 5-year DSF and OS were 59 and 60%, respectively. Variables associated with poor DFS and OS were age > 60 years (P = .003, hazard ratio [HR]: 4.95, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.71,14.1; P = .005, HR: 4.48, 95% CI: 1.57,12.8) and non-primary tumors (P＜.001, HR: 8.41, 95% CI: 2.85,24.8; P = .002, HR: 6.90, 95% CI: 2.46,19.4), respectively. Maxilla and skull base cancers had local recurrence (12/18, 66.7%) more common. T2 (TNM) tumor displayed higher tendency in DFS(P = .009, HR: 4.20, 95% CI: 1.42,12.4) and metastasis(P = .09, HR: 3.51, 95% CI: 0.82,15.0) than T1 (TNM) tumors.

CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE

Poor prognosis is associated with maxilla and skull base tumors as well as patients over 60 years. TNM stage appeared to have limited prognostic significance.

Impaired health-related quality of life in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies: a cross-sectional analysis from the COVAD-2 e-survey

Objectives

To investigate health-related quality of life in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) compared with those with non-IIM autoimmune rheumatic diseases (AIRDs), non-rheumatic autoimmune diseases (nrAIDs) and without autoimmune diseases (controls) using Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) instrument data obtained from the second COVID-19 vaccination in autoimmune disease (COVAD-2) e-survey database.

Methods

Demographics, diagnosis, comorbidities, disease activity, treatments and PROMIS instrument data were analysed. Primary outcomes were PROMIS Global Physical Health (GPH) and Global Mental Health (GMH) scores. Factors affecting GPH and GMH scores in IIMs were identified using multivariable regression analysis.

Results

We analysed responses from 1582 IIM, 4700 non-IIM AIRD and 545 nrAID patients and 3675 controls gathered through 23 May 2022. The median GPH scores were the lowest in IIM and non-IIM AIRD patients {13 [interquartile range (IQR) 10-15] IIMs vs 13 [11-15] non-IIM AIRDs vs 15 [13-17] nrAIDs vs 17 [15-18] controls, P < 0.001}. The median GMH scores in IIM patients were also significantly lower compared with those without autoimmune diseases [13 (IQR 10-15) IIMs vs 15 (13-17) controls, P < 0.001]. Inclusion body myositis, comorbidities, active disease and glucocorticoid use were the determinants of lower GPH scores, whereas overlap myositis, interstitial lung disease, depression, active disease, lower PROMIS Physical Function 10a and higher PROMIS Fatigue 4a scores were associated with lower GMH scores in IIM patients.

Conclusion

Both physical and mental health are significantly impaired in IIM patients, particularly in those with comorbidities and increased fatigue, emphasizing the importance of patient-reported experiences and optimized multidisciplinary care to enhance well-being in people with IIMs.

Longitudinal evaluation of adverse events due to steroid use in primary immune thrombocytopenia: A population-based study

This study aimed to investigate the association between the steroid use patterns and the risk of AEs in patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). A total of 2691 newly diagnosed adults with ITP between 2011 and 2018 were identified from the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan, and the date of first steroid use was defined as the index date. Post-index steroid use was calculated on a 90-day basis as a time-dependent variable and categorized by the average prednisolone-equivalent daily dose (<10 mg vs. ≥10 mg) and intensity (medication possession ratio <80% vs. ≥80%). Patients were followed up for 1 year from the index date for acute AE events, while chronic AEs were assessed until death, or end of 2019. Compared to patients with low-dose+low-intensity steroid use, those with high-dose+high-intensity steroid use were associated with a higher risk of acute AE (adjusted incident rate ratio [aIRR]: 1.57, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.38-1.78, p < 0.01) and chronic AE (aIRR: 1.26, 95% CI: 1.08-1.47, p < 0.01). Metabolic/endocrine and ophthalmologic disorders demonstrated the strongest correlation with a high dose and intensity. The joint effect of steroid dose and intensity was observed in patients with ITP, and the findings suggest that steroids should be used carefully.

[Clinical features and prognostic analysis of testicular relapse in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia]

Objective: To investigate the clinical features and prognosis of testicular relapse in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Methods: Clinical data including the age, time from initial diagnosis to recurrence, relapse site, and therapeutic effect of 37 pediatric ALL with testicular relapse and treated in Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between November 2011 and December 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. Patients were grouped according to different clinical data. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to evaluate the overall survival (OS) rate and event free survival (EFS) rate for univariate analysis, and Cox proportional-hazards regression model was used to evaluate the influencing factors of OS rate and EFS rate for multivariate analysis. Results: The age at initial diagnosis of 37 pediatric testicular relapse patients was (5±3) years and the time from initial diagnosis to testicular recurrence was (37±15) months. The follow-up time was 43 (22, 56) months. Twenty-three patients (62%) were isolated testis relapse. The 5-year OS rate and EFS rate of the 37 relapsed children were (60±9) % and (50±9) % respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the 2-year EFS rate in the group of patients with time from initial diagnosis to testicular recurrence >28 months was significantly higher than those ≤28 months ((69±10)% vs. (11±11)%, P<0.05), 2-year EFS rate of the isolated testicular relapse group was significantly higher than combined relapse group ((66±11)% vs. (20±13) %, P<0.05), 2-year EFS rate of chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell treatment after relapse group was significantly higher than without CAR-T cell treatment after relapse group ((78±10)% vs. (15±10)%, P<0.05). ETV6-RUNX1 was the most common genetic aberration in testicular relapsed ALL (38%, 14/37). The 4-year OS and EFS rate of patients with ETV6-RUNX1 positive were (80±13) % and (64±15) %, respectively. Multivariate analysis identified relapse occurred≤28 months after first diagnosis (HR=3.09, 95%CI 1.10-8.72), combined relapse (HR=4.26, 95%CI 1.34-13.52) and CAR-T cell therapy after relapse (HR=0.15,95%CI 0.05-0.51) were independent prognostic factors for 2-year EFS rate (all P<0.05). Conclusions: The outcome of testicular relapse in pediatric ALL was poor. They mainly occurred 3 years after initial diagnosis. ETV6-RUNX1 is the most common abnormal gene.Patients with ETV6-RUNX1 positive often have a favorable outcome. Early relapse and combined relapse indicate unfavorable prognosis, while CAR-T cell therapy could significantly improve the survival rate of children with testicular recurrence.

Prognostic factors and outcomes of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, a retrospective hospital-based study

Objective

Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) affects immunocompromised hosts and is associated with higher risks of respiratory failure and mortality. However, the clinical outcomes of different IPA types have not been identified.

Methods

Between September 2002 and May 2021, we retrospectively enrolled patients with IPA in Taichung Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan. Cases were classified as possible IPA, probable IPA, proven IPA, and putative IPA according to EORTC/MSGERC criteria and the AspICU algorithm. Risk factors of respiratory failure, kidney failure, and mortality were analyzed by logistic regression. A total of 3-year survival was assessed by the Kaplan-Meier method with log-rank test for post-hoc comparisons.

Results

We included 125 IPA patients (50: possible IPA, 47: probable IPA, 11: proven IPA, and 17: putative IPA). Comorbidities of liver cirrhosis and solid organ malignancy were risk factors for respiratory failure; diabetes mellitus and post-liver or kidney transplantation were related to kidney failure. Higher galactomannan (GM) test optical density index (ODI) in either serum or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was associated with dismal outcomes. Probable IPA and putative IPA had lower 3-year respiratory failure-free survival compared to possible IPA. Probable IPA and putative IPA exhibited lower 3-year renal failure-free survival in comparison to possible IPA and proven IPA. Putative IPA had the lowest 3-year overall survival rates among the four IPA groups.

Conclusion

Patients with putative IPA had higher mortality rates than the possible, probable, or proven IPA groups. Therefore, a prompt diagnosis and timely treatment are warranted for patients with putative IPA.

The characterization and comorbidities of heterozygous Bardet-Biedl syndrome carriers

Introduction: Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder with clinical features of retinal dystrophy, obesity, postaxial polydactyly, renal anomalies, learning disabilities, hypogonadism, and genitourinary abnormalities. Nevertheless, previous studies on the phenotypic traits of BBS heterozygous carriers have generated inconclusive results. The aim of our study was to investigate the impact of BBS heterozygosity on carriers when compared to non-carriers within the Taiwanese population. Materials and Methods: This study follows a hospital-based case-control design. We employed the Taiwan Biobank version 2 (TWBv2) array to identify three specific loci associated with BBS (rs773862084, rs567573386, and rs199910690). In total, 716 patients were included in the case group, and they were compared to a control group of 2,864 patients who lacked BBS alleles. The control group was selected through gender and age matching at a ratio of 1:4. The association between BBS-related loci and comorbidity was assessed using logistic regression models. Results: We found that BBS heterozygous carriers exhibited a significant association with elevated BMI levels, especially the variant rs199910690 in MKS1 (p=0.0037). The prevalence of comorbidities in the carriers' group was not higher than that in the non-carriers' group. Besides, the average values of the biochemistry data showed no significant differences, except for creatinine level. Furthermore, we conducted a BMI-based analysis to identify specific risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Our findings revealed that individuals carrying the CA/AA genotype of the BBS2 rs773862084 variant or the CT/TT genotype of the MKS1 rs199910690 variant showed a reduced risk of developing CKD, irrespective of their BMI levels. When stratified by BMI level, obese males with the MKS1 rs199910690 variant and obese females with the BBS2 rs773862084 variant exhibited a negative association with CKD development. Conclusion: We found that aside from the association with overweight and obesity, heterozygous BBS mutations did not appear to increase the predisposition of individuals to comorbidities and metabolic diseases. To gain a more comprehensive understanding of the genetic susceptibility associated with Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS), further research is warranted.

[Research progress on the role of hepatitis B virus DNA integration in chronic hepatitis B]

Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection will greatly contribute to raising the occurrence probability of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in patients. Although existing antiviral treatment regimens have a certain effect on delaying disease progression and improving prognosis, it is still not effective in attaining functional cures. Hepatitis B virus DNA integration may be one of the reasons for this phenomenon. Therefore, this paper reviews the possible mechanisms of HBV DNA integration in maintaining chronic inflammation of the liver, evading existing antiviral treatment methods, and inducing hepatocellular carcinoma so as to further deepen the understanding of the role of HBV DNA integration in the occurrence and development of chronic hepatitis B, providing ideas and references for formulating better treatment strategies.

Search for Scalar Leptoquarks Produced via τ-Lepton-Quark Scattering in pp Collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV

The first search for scalar leptoquarks produced in τ-lepton-quark collisions is presented. It is based on a set of proton-proton collision data recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138  fb^{-1}. The reconstructed final state consists of a jet, significant missing transverse momentum, and a τ lepton reconstructed through its hadronic or leptonic decays. Limits are set on the product of the leptoquark production cross section and branching fraction and interpreted as exclusions in the plane of the leptoquark mass and the leptoquark-τ-quark coupling strength.

Association between HNF4A rs1800961 polymorphisms and gallstones in a Taiwanese population

BACKGROUND AND AIM

A large genetic effect of a novel gallstone-associated genetic variant, the hepatocyte nuclear factor 4α (HNF4A) rs1800961 polymorphism, has been identified through recent genome-wide association studies. However, this effect has not been validated in Asian populations. We investigated the association between the rs1800961 variant and gallstones among a Taiwanese population.

METHODS

A total of 20 405 participants aged between 30 and 70 years voluntarily enrolled in the Taiwan Biobank. Self-report questionnaires, physical examinations, biochemical tests, and genotyping were used for analysis. The association of the HNF4A rs1800961 variant and other metabolic risks with gallstone disease was analyzed using multiple logistic regression models.

RESULTS

The minor T allele of HNF4A rs1800961 was associated with an increased risk of gallstone, and the association remained significant even after adjustment for other risk factors including age, body mass index (BMI), diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and cigarette smoking (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 1.90, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.31 to 2.75) in male participants. When further stratified by BMI and age, the lithogenic effect was the most significant in male participants with obesity (adjusted OR = 3.55, 95% CI = 1.92 to 6.56) and who were younger (adjusted OR = 2.45, 95% CI = 1.49 to 4.04).

CONCLUSION

The novel gallstone-associated HNF4A rs1800961 variant was associated with the risk of gallstone in the Taiwanese men. Screening for the rs1800961 polymorphism may be particularly useful in assessing the risk of gallstone formation in younger or obese men.

Search for Inelastic Dark Matter in Events with Two Displaced Muons and Missing Transverse Momentum in Proton-Proton Collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV

A search for dark matter in events with a displaced nonresonant muon pair and missing transverse momentum is presented. The analysis is performed using an integrated luminosity of 138  fb^{-1} of proton-proton (pp) collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV produced by the LHC in 2016-2018. No significant excess over the predicted backgrounds is observed. Upper limits are set on the product of the inelastic dark matter production cross section σ(pp→A^{'}→χ_{1}χ_{2}) and the decay branching fraction B(χ_{2}→χ_{1}μ^{+}μ^{-}), where A^{'} is a dark photon and χ_{1} and χ_{2} are states in the dark sector with near mass degeneracy. This is the first dedicated collider search for inelastic dark matter.

Increased NAFLD risk in newly diagnosed patients with RA during the first 4 years of follow-up: a nationwide, population-based cohort study

BACKGROUND

Although the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is prevalent in the general population, NAFLD risk in newly diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has rarely been explored. In this population-based cohort, we examined NAFLD risk in patients with RA and identified the potential risk factors.

DESIGN

Retrospective study.

SETTING

Taiwan.

PARTICIPANTS

2281 newly diagnosed patients with RA and selected 91 240 individuals without RA to match with patients with RA (1:40) by age, gender, income status and urbanisation level of the residence.

OUTCOMES

In this retrospective study using the 2000-2018 claim data from two-million representative Taiwanese population, we identified and compared the incidence rates (IRs) of NAFLD and alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD) between RA and non-RA groups. Using multivariable regression analyses, we estimated adjusted HR (aHR) of NAFLD development in patients with RA compared with individuals without RA, with 95% CIs.

RESULTS

The incidences of NALFD and AFLD were not significantly different between individuals with RA and without RA during the 17-year follow-up period. However, patients with RA had significantly increased NAFLD risk during the first 4 years after RA diagnosis, with IR ratio of 1.66 fold (95% CI 1.18 to 2.33, p<0.005), but the risk was reduced after the first 4 years. Multivariable regression analyses revealed that aHR was 2.77-fold greater in patients not receiving disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs therapy than in non-RA subjects (p<0.05). Old age, women, low-income status and obesity could significantly predict NAFLD development.

CONCLUSIONS

We demonstrated elevated risk of NAFLD in patients with RA during the first 4 years after RA diagnosis, and old age, women, low-income status and obesity were significant predictors of NAFLD.

Multidisciplinary-derived clinical score for accurate prediction of long-term mortality in fibrotic lung disease patients

BACKGROUND

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) stands out as one of the most aggressive forms of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), currently without a definitive cure. Multidisciplinary discussion (MDD) is now considered a cornerstone in diagnosing and differentiating ILD subtypes. The Gender-Age-Physiology (GAP) score, developed to assess IPF prognosis based on sex, age, forced vital capacity, and diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO), is limited in not considering dyspnea and functional impairment during the walking test. We proposed a MDD-based clinical score for mortality prediction among those patients.

METHODS

From December 2018 to December 2019, we enrolled ILD patients with IPF and non-IPF and followed-up them till December 2020. Based on DLCO, modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) Dyspnea Scale, and six-minute walking test (6MWT) distance, a functional score was developed for mortality prediction.

RESULTS

We enrolled 104 ILD patients, 12 (11.5%) died by the one-year follow-up. In receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, DLCO (% predicted) was the most accurate variable predicting one-year mortality with an area under curve (AUC) of 0.88 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.80-0.94), followed by mMRC Dyspnea Score (AUC = 0.82 [95% CI = 0.73-0.89]), 6MWT distance (AUC = 0.80 [95% CI = 0.71-0.88]), and GAP score (AUC = 0.77 [95% CI = 0.67-0.84]). Only the GAP score (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.55, 95% CI = 1.03-2.34, p = 0.0.37) and functional score (HR = 3.45, 95% CI = 1.11-10.73, p = 0.032) were significantly associated with one-year mortality in multivariable analysis.

CONCLUSION

The clinical score composite of DLCO, mMRC Dyspnea Scale, and 6MWT distance could provide an accurate prediction for long-term mortality in ILD patients, laying out a helpful tool for managing and following these patients.

Association of atypical anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody with comorbidities and outcome in a hospital-based population

Introduction

Atypical anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (a-ANCA) is characterized by a positive fluorescence staining other than typical cytoplasmic or perinuclear ANCA. ANCA is associated with increased risk of dialysis and mortality in patients with ANCA vasculitis. However, comorbidities related to a-ANCA and whether a-ANCA exhibits an increased risk for renal failure and mortality remain unclear. This study aimed to explore the comorbidities and outcome associated with a-ANCA.

Materials and methods

This retrospective study enrolled 164 and 170 patients with typical ANCA and a-ANCA positivity, respectively, who visited Taichung Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan from January 2016 to March 2021. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine risk factors and the rheumatological diagnosis associated with a-ANCA. Cox proportional hazard regression and Kaplan-Meier curves were employed to identify variables associated with 5-year renal survival and mortality.

Results

Patients with a-ANCA had lower chance of ANCA-associated vasculitis (OR: 0.02, 95 % CI: 0.01-0.07 p < 0.001), and systemic lupus erythematosus (OR: 0.23, 95 % CI: 0.11-0.48, p < 0.001), but a higher risk of rheumatoid arthritis (OR: 2.99, 95 % CI: 1.15-7.83, p = 0.025) and ulcerative colitis (OR: 5.50, 95 % CI: 1.20-25.29, p = 0.028). Patients with a-ANCA had a better renal survival (OR: 0.14, 95 % CI: 0.08-0.24, p < 0.001) and lower mortality (OR: 0.31, 95 % CI: 0.16-0.60, p = 0.001) than patents in the typical ANCA group. The 5-year renal survival and mortality was 89.3 % and 8.8 %, respectively, in patients with a-ANCA.

Conclusion

Patients with a-ANCA had better renal survival and lower mortality rates compared to patients with typical ANCA. These real-world data provide evidence of the long-term outcome and shed light on avenues for the strategic management of patients with a-ANCA.

Exosomal microRNAs as biomarkers for viral replication in tofacitinib-treated rheumatoid arthritis patients with hepatitis C

Notwithstanding recent advances in direct antiviral specialists (DAAs) for hepatitis C infection (HCV), it is yet a pervasive overall issue in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) is associated with HCV infection. However, it remains unknown how miRNAs respond following biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (bDMARD) and targeted synthetic DMARD (tsDMARD) treatment in HCV patients with RA. We prospectively recruited RA patients taking anti-tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) inhibitors rituximab (RTX) and tofacitinib. The serum hepatitis C viral load was measured using real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR before and 6 months after bDMARD and tsDMARD therapy. HCV RNA replication activity was measured using an HCV-tricistronic replicon reporter system, and quantitative analysis of hsa-mir-122-5p and hsa-mir-155-5p in patients was performed using quantitative PCR. HCV RNA replication in hepatocytes was not affected by tofacitinib or TNF-α inhibitor treatment. Hsa-mir-155-5p and hsa-mir-122-5p were significantly expanded in RA patients with HCV as compared with those without HCV. We observed a dramatic increase in hsa-mir-122-5p and a decrease in hsa-mir-155-5p expression levels in patients taking RTX in comparison with other treatments. Finally, a reduction in hsa-mir-122-5p and an increase in hsa-mir-155-5p were observed in a time-dependent manner after tofacitinib and DAA therapy in RA-HCV patients. These results showed that hsa-mir-155-5p and hsa-mir-122-5p were significantly increased in RA-HCV patients as compared with those without HCV after taking tofacitinib. Hsa-mir-155-5p and hsa-mir-122-5p may be potential biomarkers for treatment efficacy in RA patients with HCV.

Machine learning approaches to identify systemic lupus erythematosus in anti-nuclear antibody-positive patients using genomic data and electronic health records

BACKGROUND

Although the 2019 EULAR/ACR classification criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has required at least a positive anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) titer (≥ 1:80), it remains challenging for clinicians to identify patients with SLE. This study aimed to develop a machine learning (ML) approach to assist in the detection of SLE patients using genomic data and electronic health records.

METHODS

Participants with a positive ANA (≥ 1:80) were enrolled from the Taiwan Precision Medicine Initiative cohort. The Taiwan Biobank version 2 array was used to detect single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data. Six ML models, Logistic Regression, Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine, Light Gradient Boosting Machine, Gradient Tree Boosting, and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB), were used to identify SLE patients. The importance of the clinical and genetic features was determined by Shapley Additive Explanation (SHAP) values. A logistic regression model was applied to identify genetic variations associated with SLE in the subset of patients with an ANA equal to or exceeding 1:640.

RESULTS

A total of 946 SLE and 1,892 non-SLE controls were included in this analysis. Among the six ML models, RF and XGB demonstrated superior performance in the differentiation of SLE from non-SLE. The leading features in the SHAP diagram were anti-double strand DNA antibodies, ANA titers, AC4 ANA pattern, polygenic risk scores, complement levels, and SNPs. Additionally, in the subgroup with a high ANA titer (≥ 1:640), six SNPs positively associated with SLE and five SNPs negatively correlated with SLE were discovered.

CONCLUSIONS

ML approaches offer the potential to assist in diagnosing SLE and uncovering novel SNPs in a group of patients with autoimmunity.

Repurposing dye ligands as antivirals via a docking approach on viral membrane and globular proteins - SARS-CoV-2 and HPV-16

A series of dye ligands are docked to three different proteins, E and 3a of severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and E6 of human papilloma virus type 16 (HPV-16) using three different software. A four-level selection algorithm is used based on nonparametric statistics of numerical key values such as the "rank" derived from (i) averaged estimated binding energies (EBEs) and (ii) absolute EBE value of each of the software, (iii) frequency of ranking and (iv) rank of the area-under-curve values (AUCs) from decoy docking. A series of repurposing drugs and known antivirals used in experimental studies are docked for comparison. One dye ligand is ranked best for all proteins using the selection algorithm levels i - iii. Another three dye ligands are ranked top for the proteins individually when using all four levels.

Potential alleviation of bone mineral density loss with Janus kinase inhibitors in rheumatoid arthritis

OBJECTIVE

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by localized bone loss, general osteoporosis and increased fracture risks. Tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi), non-tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (non-TNFi) biologic, Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi) had shown the suppression effects to osteoclast activation and improvement of bone mineral density (BMD). Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (ACPA) is associated with osteoclast activation and the resultant bone loss. However, few studies have compared BMD changes among patients with RA treated with targeted therapies that have different mechanisms of action.

METHODS

This retrospective study recruited patients with RA who had undergone BMD testing twice. Changes in the BMD were compared using the generalized estimating equation (GEE) in treatment groups that received conventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (csDMARDs), TNFi, non-TNFi biologics, and JAKi.

RESULTS

In total, 362 patients with RA were enrolled (csDMARDs, n = 153, TNFi, n = 71, non-TNFi biologics, n = 108, JAKi, n = 30). We observed greater changes in femoral BMD (left, 0.06, 95% CI 0.01-0.12, p = 0.016; right, 0.09, 95% CI 0.04-0.15, p = 0.001 by GEE) following JAKi treatment as compared with other treatments. Compared to the ACPA-negative group, patients with ACPA positivity exhibited greater improvement in the femoral BMD (left, 0.09, 95% CI 0.02-0.15, p = 0.008; right, 0.11, 95% CI 0.05-0.18, p = 0.001).

CONCLUSION

Compared to other targeted therapies, JAKi might exert a more potent effect to prevent BMD loss, specifically in ACPA-positive patients with RA, and could be a potential therapeutic option to mitigate generalized bone loss. Key Points •JAKi therapy inhibits systemic bone loss in patients with RA. •ACPA-positive RA patients exhibited a greater BMD improvement than ACPA-negative RA patients. •JAKi might more potently prevent BMD decline than conventional synthetic or biological DMARDs.

Analytic and Clinical Validity of Myositis-Specific Antibodies by Line-Blot Immunoassay Is Essential

OBJECTIVES

This study assessed the concordance between line blot (LB) and immunoprecipitation (IP) assays for detecting myositis-specific antibodies (MSAs) in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) and their association with IIM subtypes.

METHODS

One hundred patients with IIM were enrolled, and MSA was detected using LB and IP. The IIM subtypes, including immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy-like, anti-tRNA synthetase syndrome-like, and clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis-like, were clinically diagnosed. The validity and reliability of the LB compared with the IP were evaluated. Optimal cutoff levels for LB were determined using various statistical methods including Cohen κ, Gwet's AC, diagnostic odds ratios, and receiver operating characteristic analysis.

RESULTS

Line blot exhibited lower specificity and accuracy than IP in predicting IIM subtypes. Some MSAs performed better at higher LB cutoff values. Anti-signal recognition particle antibodies showed poor performance in predicting the immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy-like subtype using LB. Raising the cutoffs improved the reliability of anti-threonyl-tRNA synthetase and anti-signal recognition particle antibodies. Anti-histidyl-tRNA synthetase antibodies performed well at lower positivity, whereas diagnostic odds ratios increased for anti-transcription intermediary factor 1γ and anti-nuclear matrix protein 2 with higher cutoffs.

CONCLUSIONS

Inconsistencies between LB and IP have been observed in patients with IIM. Individual optimal cutoffs for MSA by LB correlating with IP were determined. Rheumatologists should consider the differences between LB and IP results when classifying IIM subtypes.

Whole-body passive heating at moderate hyperthermic state impairs static and dynamic balance in healthy females

BACKGROUND

Whether static and dynamic balances can be impaired with increasing core temperature in female participants remains unknown.

PURPOSE

We tested the hypothesis that static and dynamic balances can be further impaired with systematic increases of core temperature by Δ1 °C and Δ 2 °C using whole-body passive heating.

METHOD

Eighteen female participants underwent a control trial (Con) and two progressive passive heating trials with Δ 1 °C and Δ 2 °C increase of oral temperature (TOral) using 45 °C water bath. In each trial, we assessed static balance with both eye open and closed and assessed dynamic balance using obstacle crossing at 10 %, 20 % and 30 % of the participant's leg length.

RESULTS

Static balance was not different between Con and Δ1 °C but was different between Δ1 °C and Δ 2 °C in an eye closed condition. Furthermore, Δ 2 °C greatly impaired both static and dynamic balances when compared to Con. The joint angles and toe clearance increased while leading heel-obstacle distance decreased during crossing obstacles at the height of 20 % and 30 % leg length with leading limbs in the Δ2 °C compared to Δ 1 °C and Con (All P < 0.05). However, no differences in joint kinematics and toe clearance with trailing limbs were observed (All P > 0.05).

CONCLUSION

In female participants, static and dynamic balances only became impaired when TOral increased 2 °C from baseline.

Treatment Persistence and Medication Switch Associated With Subsequent Fractures After Osteoporotic Fractures

CONTEXT

Despite prevalent anti-osteoporosis medication (AOM) switching in real-world osteoporosis management, few studies have evaluated the impact of persistent AOM treatment, allowing for AOM switching, on the risk of subsequent fracture.

OBJECTIVE

We examined the association between persistence in AOM and subsequent fractures, allowing for medication switching among patients with osteoporotic fractures.

METHODS

This retrospective cohort study used Taiwan National Health Insurance claims data to select patients who initiated AOM between 2013 and 2016. Treatment persistence was defined as use of any AOM on a given day of interest with a 45-day grace period. Medication switch was allowed for persistence if remaining on treatment. AOMs with long-lasting inhibition of bone resorption (zoledronate and denosumab) were categorized as high-potency; others as low-potency. Multivariate Cox models were used to evaluate risk of subsequent fractures ≥3 months after initiating AOM.

RESULTS

A total of 119 473 patients were included (mean [SD] follow-up 46.4 [15.6] months), and 26.8% switched from the index AOM. Within 1 year, 52% remained persistent with AOM. Compared to patients with persistent AOM, those not persistent had higher risk of subsequent hip (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] = 1.31; 95% CI, 1.21-1.42), vertebral (aHR = 1.17; 95% CI, 1.13-1.22), and radius fractures (aHR = 1.16; 95% CI, 1.08-1.25). Patients with persistent AOM who switched from high- to low-potency AOM had higher risk of subsequent vertebral fractures than those with persistent AOM and no potency switch (aHR = 1.28; 95% CI, 1.02-1.60).

CONCLUSION

Patients with non-persistent AOM had higher risk of subsequent fractures than persistent users when allowing AOM switch. Switching AOM potency may influence the risk of subsequent vertebral fractures and warrants further investigation.

Genetic Susceptibility of HLA Alleles to Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug Hypersensitivity in the Taiwanese Population

BACKGROUND

Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes are important in many immune processes and contribute to many adverse drug reactions. Whether genetic variations in the HLA region are associated with non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) hypersensitivity remains uncertain. Therefore, the aim of our study was to identify HLA genetic variations in patients with NSAID hypersensitivity in the Taiwanese population.

METHODS

This hospital-based, retrospective case-control study enrolled 37,156 participants with NSAID exposure from the Taiwan Precision Medicine Initiative (TPMI), who were all genotyped and imputed to fine map HLA typing. Our study assigned 1217 cases to the NSAID allergy group and 12,170 controls to a matched group. Logistic regression analyses were utilized to explore associations between HLA alleles and NSAID hypersensitivity.

RESULTS

Overall, 13,387 patients were genotyped for eight major HLA alleles. Allele frequencies were different between the two groups. In the NSAID allergy group, the genotype frequencies of HLA-A*02:01, HLA-A*34:01, and HLA-DQA1*06:01 were found to be markedly elevated compared to the control group, a significance that persisted even after applying the Bonferroni correction. Furthermore, the risk of NSAID allergy demonstrated a significant association with HLA-A*02:01 (OR = 1.29, p < 0.001) and HLA-A*34:01 (OR = 9.90, p = 0.001), in comparison to their respective counterparts. Notably, the genotype frequency of HLA-B*46:01 exhibited a significant increase in the severe allergy group when compared with the mild allergy group.

CONCLUSIONS

We identified HLA genotypes linked to the onset and severity of NSAID hypersensitivity. Our findings establish a basis for precision prescription in future clinical applications.

COVID-19 Vaccination-Related Delayed Adverse Events among Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

BACKGROUND

The safety profile of COVID-19 vaccination is well documented, but hesitancy among people with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, often immunocompromised, remains high, partially due to a scarcity of data on safety over a longer term. We herein aimed to assess delayed adverse events (DAEs) occurring >7 days after COVID-19 vaccination in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) versus other rheumatic autoimmune diseases (rAIDs), non-rheumatic AIDs (nrAIDs), and healthy controls (HCs).

METHODS

Self-reported data were captured within the COVID-19 Vaccination in Autoimmune Diseases (COVAD)-2 online survey, which comprised >150 centres and responses from 106 countries, between February and June 2022. Logistic regression analysis adjusting for important confounders (age, sex, ethnicity) was used to compare groups.

RESULTS

Of 7203 eligible individuals, 882 (12.2%) patients had SLE, 3161 (43.9%) patients had rAIDs, 426 (5.9%) patients had nrAIDs, and 2734 (38.0%) were HCs. SLE patients had a median age of 39 years (IQR: 31-50); 93.7% were women. SLE patients reported, more frequently, major DAEs (OR: 1.6; 95% CI: 1.2-2.0; p = 0.001) and hospitalisation (OR: 2.2; 95% CI: 1.4-3.4; p < 0.001) compared to HCs, severe rashes (OR: 2.4; 95% CI: 1.3-4.2; p = 0.004) compared to people with rAIDS, and hospitalisation (OR: 2.3; 95% CI: 1.1-4.9; p = 0.029) as well as several minor DAEs compared to people with nrAIDs. Differences were observed between vaccines in terms of frequency of major DAEs and hospitalisations, with the latter seen more frequently in patients receiving the Moderna vaccine. People with SLE with no autoimmune multimorbidity less frequently reported overall minor DAEs compared to SLE patients with comorbid nrAIDs (OR: 0.5; 95% CI: 0.3-1.0; p = 0.036).

CONCLUSION

Hospitalisations post-vaccination were more frequent in SLE patients than in HCs. Monitoring of SLE patients following COVID-19 vaccination can help in identifying DAEs early, informing patients about expected DAEs, and supporting patients, especially those with autoimmune multimorbidity.

Flares in autoimmune rheumatic diseases in the post-COVID-19 vaccination period-a cross-sequential study based on COVAD surveys

OBJECTIVE

Flares of autoimmune rheumatic diseases (AIRDs) following COVID-19 vaccination are a particular concern in vaccine-hesitant individuals. Therefore, we investigated the incidence, predictors and patterns of flares following vaccination in individuals living with AIRDs, using global COVID-19 Vaccination in Autoimmune Diseases (COVAD) surveys.

METHODS

The COVAD surveys were used to extract data on flare demographics, comorbidities, COVID-19 history, and vaccination details for patients with AIRDs. Flares following vaccination were identified as patient-reported (a), increased immunosuppression (b), clinical exacerbations (c) and worsening of PROMIS scores (d). We studied flare characteristics and used regression models to differentiate flares among various AIRDs.

RESULTS

Of 15 165 total responses, the incidence of flares in 3453 patients with AIRDs was 11.3%, 14.8%, 9.5% and 26.7% by definitions a-d, respectively. There was moderate agreement between patient-reported and immunosuppression-defined flares (K = 0.403, P = 0.022). Arthritis (61.6%) and fatigue (58.8%) were the most commonly reported symptoms. Self-reported flares were associated with higher comorbidities (P = 0.013), mental health disorders (MHDs) (P < 0.001) and autoimmune disease multimorbidity (AIDm) (P < 0.001).In regression analysis, the presence of AIDm [odds ratio (OR) = 1.4; 95% CI: 1.1, 1.7; P = 0.003), or a MHD (OR = 1.7; 95% CI: 1.1, 2.6; P = 0.007), or being a Moderna vaccine recipient (OR = 1.5; 95% CI: 1.09, 2.2; P = 0.014) were predictors of flares. Use of MMF (OR = 0.5; 95% CI: 0.3, 0.8; P = 0.009) and glucocorticoids (OR = 0.6; 95% CI: 0.5, 0.8; P = 0.003) were protective.A higher frequency of patients with AIRDs reported overall active disease post-vaccination compared with before vaccination (OR = 1.3; 95% CI: 1.1, 1.5; P < 0.001).

CONCLUSION

Flares occur in nearly 1 in 10 individuals with AIRDs after COVID vaccination; people with comorbidities (especially AIDm), MHDs and those receiving the Moderna vaccine are particularly vulnerable. Future avenues include exploring flare profiles and optimizing vaccine strategies for this group.

Efficacy of quaternary ammonium salt-based disinfectant or chelated copper-zinc footbath solution in the treatment of digital dermatitis on one research dairy farm in Taiwan

BACKGROUND

Footbaths can be used to manage digital dermatitis (DD), a common cause of lameness in dairy cattle. Copper sulfate and chelated copper-zinc (CZS) solutions in footbaths are potentially harmful to the environment.

HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES

To determine if a quaternary ammonium salt-based disinfectant (QASD) footbath is as effective as a chelated CZS solution in controlling DD in dairy cows.

ANIMALS

Fifty-one lactating Holstein cows were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups, with DD status based on the M-stage scoring system and locomotion score balanced between treatment groups.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

The groups were treated with a 1% QASD or a 2.5% chelated CZS. Footbaths were performed once per week for 15 weeks. Logistic regression was used to analyse clinical improvement. All cows received appropriate medical treatment for DD and other hoof diseases.

RESULTS

Clinical improvement rates were 67% in the QASD group and 38% in the CZS group (p = 0.03). Logistic regression analysis showed that the odds (95% confidence interval) for clinical improvement rate in the CZS group were 0.30 (0.095-0.948) times that of the QASD group (p = 0.04). The M0 score in the QASD and CZS groups increased significantly (p < 0.05) at the end of the 15 week study period. In the QASD group, the proportion of M2, M3 and M4 scores were significantly decreased (p < 0.05).

CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Over a 15 week period, QASD for footbathing was associated with a lower prevalence of active DD lesions than when using CZS.

Utilize polygenic risk score to enhance fracture risk estimation and improve the performance of FRAX in patients with osteoporosis

This study examined the use of polygenic risk scores (PGS) in combination with the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) to enhance fragility fractures risk estimation in osteoporosis patients. Analyzing data from over 57,000 participants, PGS improved fracture risk estimation, especially for individuals with intermediate to low risks, allowing personalized preventive strategies.

INTRODUCTION

Osteoporosis and fragility fractures are multifactorial, with contributions from both clinical and genetic determinants. However, whether using polygenic risk scores (PGS) may enhance the risk estimation of osteoporotic fracture in addition to Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) remains unknown. This study investigated the collective association of PGS and FRAX with fragility fracture.

METHODS

We conducted a cohort study from the Taiwan Precision Medicine Initiative (TPMI) at Taichung Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan. Genotyping was performed to compute PGS associated with bone mineral density (BMD). Phenome-wide association studies were executed to pinpoint phenotypes correlated with the PGS. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to ascertain factors associated with osteoporotic fractures.

RESULTS

Among all 57,257 TPMI participants, 3744 (904 men and 2840 women, with a mean age of 66.7) individuals had BMD testing, with 540 (14.42%) presenting with fractures. The 3744 individuals who underwent BMD testing were categorized into four quartiles (Q1-Q4) based on PGS; 540 (14.42%) presented with fractures. Individuals with PGS-Q1 exhibited lower BMD, a higher prevalence of major fractures, and elevated FRAX-major and FRAX-hip than those with PGS-Q4. PGS was associated with major fractures after adjusting age, sex, and FRAX scores. Notably, the risk of major fractures (PGS-Q1 vs. Q4) was significantly higher in the subgroups of FRAX-major scores < 10% and 10-20%, but not in participants with a FRAX-major score ≧ 20%.

CONCLUSIONS

Our study highlights the potential of PGS to augment fracture risk estimation in conjunction with FRAX, particularly in individuals with middle to low risks. Incorporating genetic testing could empower physicians to tailor personalized preventive strategies for osteoporosis.

Gender-specific linkages: frailty, polypharmacy, anti-cholinergic burden, and 5-year mortality risk-a real-world analysis

Background

With higher age, frailty escalates the risk of falls, unexpected physical dysfunction, hospitalization, and mortality. Polypharmacy in the older population is a major challenge that not only increases medical costs, but also may worsen the risk of hospitalization and death. More importantly, the properties of anti-cholinergic drugs contribute various negative effects. This study aimed to investigate the sex difference in the association of polypharmacy, anticholinergic burden, and frailty with mortality.

Methods

Participants older than 65 years who attended the geriatric outpatient clinic of the study center between January 2015 and July 2020 were invited to participate in this retrospective study. Comprehensive geriatric assessment data were collected and the phenotype of frailty was determined by Fried's criteria. Cox regression and the Kaplan-Meier curve were used to identify risk factors of 5-year survival along with intergroup differences in the risks.

Results

Of the 2,077 participants, 47.5% were female. The prevalence of frailty and the rate of polypharmacy were 44.7% and 60.6%, respectively. Higher age, male sex, low body mass index, low Mini-Mental State Examination scores, low activities of daily living, frailty status, polypharmacy, and a high Charlson Comorbidity Index score, and greater anticholinergic burden were significant risk factors that were associated with the 5-year all-cause mortality. Male patients with frailty exhibited the highest risks of mortality compared with male patients without frailty and female patients with or without frailty. Polypharmacy was significantly associated with a higher 5-year mortality rate in the frail male group compared with the non-frail male. In frail female group, individuals with a higher anticholinergic burden (as indicated by the Anticholinergic Cognitive Burden Scale) from drug usage exhibited an elevated 5-year mortality rate.

Conclusions

Polypharmacy and greater anticholinergic burden, synergistically interacted with frailty and intensified the 5-year mortality risk in a gender-specific manner. To mitigate mortality risks, clinicians should prudently identify polypharmacy and anticholinergic burden in the older population.

Gut butyrate-producers confer post-infarction cardiac protection

The gut microbiome and its metabolites are increasingly implicated in several cardiovascular diseases, but their role in human myocardial infarction (MI) injury responses have yet to be established. To address this, we examined stool samples from 77 ST-elevation MI (STEMI) patients using 16 S V3-V4 next-generation sequencing, metagenomics and machine learning. Our analysis identified an enriched population of butyrate-producing bacteria. These findings were then validated using a controlled ischemia/reperfusion model using eight nonhuman primates. To elucidate mechanisms, we inoculated gnotobiotic mice with these bacteria and found that they can produce beta-hydroxybutyrate, supporting cardiac function post-MI. This was further confirmed using HMGCS2-deficient mice which lack endogenous ketogenesis and have poor outcomes after MI. Inoculation increased plasma ketone levels and provided significant improvements in cardiac function post-MI. Together, this demonstrates a previously unknown role of gut butyrate-producers in the post-MI response.

GJB2 p.V37I Mutation Associated With Moderate Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss in an Adult Taiwanese Population

BACKGROUND

Gap junction protein beta 2 ( GJB2 ) p.V37I mutations are the most important hereditary cause of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in Taiwan. Hearing outcomes are associated with hearing levels at baseline and the duration of follow-up. However, the audiological features of GJB2 p.V37I mutations in the adult population are unknown. The objectives of the present study were to investigate the audiological features, progression rate, and allele frequency of GJB2 p.V37I mutations among an adult Taiwanese population.

METHODS

Subjects of this case-control study were chosen from 13,580 participants of the Taiwan Precision Medicine Initiative. The genetic variations of GJB2 p.V37I were determined by polymerase chain reaction. We analyzed existing pure-tone threshold data from 38 individuals who were homozygous or compound heterozygotes for GJB2 p.V37I, 129 who were heterozygotes, and 602 individuals who were wild-type. Phenome-wide association studies (PheWAS) analysis was also performed to identify phenotypes associated with GJB2 p.V37I.

RESULTS

The minor allele frequency of GJB2 p.V37I was 0.92% in our study population. The mean hearing level of participants with a p.V37I mutation indicated moderate to severe hearing loss with 38.2% ± 22.3% binaural hearing impairment. GJB2 p.V37I was associated with an increased risk of hearing disability (odds ratio: 21.46, 95% confidence interval: 8.62 to 53.44, p < 0.001) in an autosomal recessive pattern. In addition, PheWAS discovered a significant association between GJB2 p.V37I and fracture of the humerus. GJB2 p.V37I is a pathogenic and prevalent variant of SNHL among the adult population.

CONCLUSIONS

The present study recommends patients with known GJB2 p.V37I mutations receive regular audiometric evaluation and genetic counseling. Early assistive listening device intervention is suggested to improve the quality of hearing.

DUSP8 induces TGF-β-stimulated IL-9 transcription and Th9-mediated allergic inflammation by promoting nuclear export of Pur-α

Dual-specificity phosphatase 8 (DUSP8) is a MAPK phosphatase that dephosphorylates and inactivates the kinase JNK. DUSP8 is highly expressed in T cells; however, the in vivo role of DUSP8 in T cells remains unclear. Using T cell-specific Dusp8 conditional KO (T-Dusp8 cKO) mice, mass spectrometry analysis, ChIP-Seq, and immune analysis, we found that DUSP8 interacted with Pur-α, stimulated interleukin-9 (IL-9) gene expression, and promoted Th9 differentiation. Mechanistically, DUSP8 dephosphorylated the transcriptional repressor Pur-α upon TGF-β signaling, leading to the nuclear export of Pur-α and subsequent IL-9 transcriptional activation. Furthermore, Il-9 mRNA levels were induced in Pur-α-deficient T cells. In addition, T-Dusp8-cKO mice displayed reduction of IL-9 and Th9-mediated immune responses in the allergic asthma model. Reduction of Il-9 mRNA levels in T cells and allergic responses of T-Dusp8-cKO mice was reversed by Pur-α knockout. Remarkably, DUSP8 protein levels and the DUSP8-Pur-α interaction were indeed increased in the cytoplasm of T cells from people with asthma and patients with atopic dermatitis. Collectively, DUSP8 induces TGF-β-stimulated IL-9 transcription and Th9-induced allergic responses by inhibiting the nuclear translocation of the transcriptional repressor Pur-α. DUSP8 may be a T-cell biomarker and therapeutic target for asthma and atopic dermatitis.

SARS-CoV-2 primed platelets-derived microRNAs enhance NETs formation by extracellular vesicle transmission and TLR7/8 activation

BACKGROUND

Hyperactive neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) formation plays a key role in the pathogenesis of severe COVID-19. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are vehicles which carry cellular components for intercellular communication. The association between COVID-19 patients-derived EVs and NETs formation remains elusive.

METHODS

We explored the roles of EVs in NETs formation from 40 COVID-19 patients with different disease severities as well as 30 healthy subjects. The EVs-carried microRNAs profile was analyzed using next generation sequencing approach which was validated by quantitative reverse transcription PCR. The regulatory mechanism of EVs on NETs formation was investigated by using an in vitro cell-based assay, including immunofluorescence assay, flow cytometry, and immunoblotting.

RESULTS

COVID-19 patient-derived EVs induced NETs formation by endocytosis uptake. SARS-CoV-2 spike protein-triggered NETs formation was significantly enhanced in the presence of platelet-derived EVs (pEVs) and this effect was Toll-like receptor (TLR) 7/8- and NADPH oxidase-dependent. Increased levels of miR-21/let-7b were revealed in EVs from COVID-19 patients and were associated with disease severity. We demonstrated that the spike protein activated platelets directly, followed by the subsequent intracellular miR-21/let-7b upregulation and then were loaded into pEVs. The pEVs-carried miR-21 interacted with TLR7/8 to prime p47phox phosphorylation in neutrophils, resulting in NADPH oxidase activation to promote ROS production and NETs enhancement. In addition, miR-21 modulates NF-κB activation and IL-1β/TNFα/IL-8 upregulation in neutrophils upon TLR7/8 engagement. The miR-21 inhibitor and TLR8 antagonist could suppress efficiently spike protein-induced NETs formation and pEVs primed NETs enhancement.

CONCLUSIONS

We identified SARS-CoV-2 triggered platelets-derived GU-enriched miRNAs (e.g., miR-21/let-7b) as a TLR7/8 ligand that could activate neutrophils through EVs transmission. The miR-21-TLR8 axis could be used as a potential predisposing factor or therapeutic target for severe COVID-19.

Screening of Genes Co-Associated with Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and Infectious Sudden Death in Infancy and Bioinformatics Analysis of Their Regulatory Networks

OBJECTIVES

The common differentially expressed mRNAs in brain, heart and liver tissues of deceased sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and infectious sudden death in infancy (ISDI) confirmed by autopsy was screened by bioinformatics to explore the common molecular markers and pathogenesis of SIDS and ISDI.

METHODS

The datasets of GSE70422 and GSE136992 were downloaded, the limma of R software was used to screen differentially expressed mRNA in different tissue samples of SIDS and ISDI decedents for overlapping analysis. The clusterProfiler of R software was used to conduct gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed by STRING database, while the hub gene was screened by cytoHubba plug-in.

RESULTS

Compared with the control group, there were 19 significant differentially expressed genes in the tissue samples of SIDS and ISDI decedents, among which 16 in the heart tissue and 3 in the liver tissue, and the astrotactin 1 (ASTN1) gene expression difference in the heart tissue was most significant. The PPI network identified Ras homolog family member A (RHOA), integrin subunit alpha 1 (ITGA1), and H2B clustered histone 5 (H2BC5) were hub genes. The analysis of GO and KEGG showed that differentially expressed genes were enriched in the molecular pathways of actin cytoskeleton regulation, focal adhesion and response to mycophenolic acid.

CONCLUSIONS

ASTN1, RHOA and ITGA1 may participate in the development of SIDS and ISDI. The enrichment of differentially expressed genes in immune and inflammatory pathways suggests a common molecular regulatory mechanism between SIDS and ISDI. These findings are expected to provide new biomarkers for molecular anatomy and forensic identification of SIDS and ISDI.

Parental autoimmunity and offspring risks of rheumatic diseases: a nationwide population-based study

OBJECTIVE

Familial aggregation of systemic autoimmune diseases is frequently reported, but little is known about how fathers and mothers differentially contribute to the development of autoimmune diseases in their offspring. This study aimed to investigate the impact of maternal and paternal autoimmunity on the risk of offspring rheumatic diseases.

METHODS

We constructed a nationwide population-based cohort using data from the Maternal and Child Health Database and the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Data (NHIRD) from 2004 to 2019. The outcome was an autoimmune disease in the offspring. Inverse probability of treatment-weighted Cox models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for autoimmune diseases.

RESULTS

Births with a father or mother with an autoimmune disease demonstrated respective risks of 1.22 times and 1.38 times the risk of developing an autoimmune disease compared to their counterparts. Maternal autoimmunity substantially contributed to SLE (aHR = 5.46, 95% CI: 5.28∼5.66), and paternal autoimmunity contributed to JIA (aHR = 1.76, 95% CI: 1.71∼1.81), and type 1 DM (aHR = 1.59, 95% CI: 1.39∼1.81) of their offspring. The contribution of mothers to the development of SLE (HR = 8.55, 95% CI: 8.10∼9.02) and inflammatory myopathy (HR = 2.08, 95% CI: 1.72∼2.51) were exacerbated in boys. Births with both parents with an autoimmune disease showed a 1.39-fold risk of developing an autoimmune disease. The maternal effect is stronger in preterm than full term births.

CONCLUSIONS

This study demonstrated the landscape of how autoimmune diseases pass from parents to infants of both genders and quantified the maternal and paternal contribution to disease separately.

Transalkylation via C-N Bond Cleavage of Amines Catalyzed by Super Organophotoreductant CBZ6

The super organoreductant CBZ6-catalyzed tandem transalkylation-cyclization using amines as traceless radical donors and stabilizer is reported. The later-stage breaking of an N-C bond enables the transalkylation with a secondary amine as the leaving moiety. A wide range of tertiary amines were used as alkyl radical donors for the C1-C8 alkyls. This traceless stabilizer also enabled the transalkylation with methyl radical, which is normally not possible because of the instability of methyl radical.

Risk Prediction of Chronic Rhinosinusitis with or without Nasal Polyps in Taiwanese Population Using Polygenic Risk Score for Nasal Polyps

The association between single nucleotide polymorphisms and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) has been determined. However, it was not known whether the polygenic risk score (PRS) for nasal polyps (NP) could predict CRS with NP (CRSwNP) or without NP (CRSsNP). The aim of this study was to investigate the association between PRSs for NP and the risk of CRS with or without NP. Data from 535 individuals with CRS and 5350 control subjects in the Taiwan Precision Medicine Initiative project were collected. Four PRSs for NP, including PGS000933, PGS000934, PGS001848, and PGS002060 from UK Biobank, were tested in these participants. They were divided into four groups according to quartiles of PRSs. The logistic regression model was performed to evaluate CRSwNP and CRSsNP risk according to PRSs for NP. The PGS002060 had the highest area under the curve at 0.534 for CRSsNP prediction and at 0.588 for CRSwNP prediction. Compared to subjects in the lowest PRS category, the PGS002060 significantly increased the odds for CRSsNP by 1.48 at the highest quintile (p = 0.003) and by 2.32 at the highest quintile for CRSwNP (p = 0.002). In addition, the odds for CRSwNP increased by 3.01 times in female CRSwNP patients (p = 0.009) at the highest quintile compared with those in the lowest PRS category. The PRSs for NP developed from European populations could be applied to the Taiwanese population to predict CRS risk, especially for female CRSwNP.

Vaccine hesitancy decreases in rheumatic diseases, long-term concerns remain in myositis: a comparative analysis of the COVAD surveys

OBJECTIVE

COVID-19 vaccines have a favorable safety profile in patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (AIRDs) such as idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs); however, hesitancy continues to persist among these patients. Therefore, we studied the prevalence, predictors and reasons for hesitancy in patients with IIMs, other AIRDs, non-rheumatic autoimmune diseases (nrAIDs) and healthy controls (HCs), using data from the two international COVID-19 Vaccination in Autoimmune Diseases (COVAD) e-surveys.

METHODS

The first and second COVAD patient self-reported e-surveys were circulated from March to December 2021, and February to June 2022 (ongoing). We collected data on demographics, comorbidities, COVID-19 infection and vaccination history, reasons for hesitancy, and patient reported outcomes. Predictors of hesitancy were analysed using regression models in different groups.

RESULTS

We analysed data from 18 882 (COVAD-1) and 7666 (COVAD-2) respondents. Reassuringly, hesitancy decreased from 2021 (16.5%) to 2022 (5.1%) (OR: 0.26; 95% CI: 0.24, 0.30, P < 0.001). However, concerns/fear over long-term safety had increased (OR: 3.6; 95% CI: 2.9, 4.6, P < 0.01). We noted with concern greater skepticism over vaccine science among patients with IIMs than AIRDs (OR: 1.8; 95% CI: 1.08, 3.2, P = 0.023) and HCs (OR: 4; 95% CI: 1.9, 8.1, P < 0.001), as well as more long-term safety concerns/fear (IIMs vs AIRDs - OR: 1.9; 95% CI: 1.2, 2.9, P = 0.001; IIMs vs HCs - OR: 5.4 95% CI: 3, 9.6, P < 0.001). Caucasians [OR 4.2 (1.7-10.3)] were likely to be more hesitant, while those with better PROMIS physical health score were less hesitant [OR 0.9 (0.8-0.97)].

CONCLUSION

Vaccine hesitancy has decreased from 2021 to 2022, long-term safety concerns remain among patients with IIMs, particularly in Caucasians and those with poor physical function.

[Correlation of traditional Chinese medicine to reduced re-admission risk in ankylosing spondylitis patients with dampness-heat syndrome: a retrospective cohort study]

This study aimed to analyze the impact of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) on the risk of re-admission for ankylosing spondylitis(AS) patients with dampness-heat syndrome. In this study, a telephone follow-up was conducted on 1 295 AS inpatients, and after screening and exclusions, 1 044 successfully followed-up patients were included. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using propensity score matching(PSM), and a Cox proportional risk model was employed to assess the effect of various factors on the risk of re-admission for AS patients with dampness-heat syndrome. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to analyze the effect of TCM intervention time on re-admission. The incidence rate of dampness-heat syndrome in AS patients was found to be 51.3% in this study. After 1∶1 PSM, 385 AS patients with dampness-heat syndrome and 385 AS patients without dampness-heat syndrome were included for analysis. The results indicated that the re-admission rate was higher for patients with dampness-heat syndrome compared with those without dampness-heat syndrome(P<0.05). AS patients with dampness-heat syndrome in the TCM group had a lower admission rate than those in the non-TCM group(P=0.01). The cox proportional risk model demonstrated that TCM was an independent protective factor, as it reduced the risk of re-admission by 35%(HR=0.35, 95%CI[0.26, 0.95], P<0.05). Moreover, the subgroup with high exposure(time to use Chinese medicine >12 months) had a significantly lower risk of re-admission than that with low TCM exposure(time to use Chinese medicine ≤12 months). The re-admission rate for AS patients with dampness-heat syndrome was higher than that without dampness-heat syndrome, and TCM was identified as a protective factor in reducing the risk of re-admission. Furthermore, a longer duration of TCM intervention was associated with a lower risk of re-admission.

The risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with systemic sclerosis: a nationwide, population-based cohort study

OBJECTIVE

To assess the incidence and risk factors of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc).

METHODS

We conducted a nationwide, population-based, cohort study using Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. We performed propensity score matching (PSM) using a 1:2 ratio, resulting in inclusion of 1,379 patients with SSc and 2,758 non-SSc individuals in the analysis. We assessed the association between SSc and MACE using the multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression model with adjustment of time-dependent covariates and investigated risk factors of MACE in patients with SSc, shown as adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CI).

RESULTS

SSc was not significantly associated with the risk of MACE (aHR 1.04; 95% CI 0.77-1.42). Nevertheless, SSc was associated with increased risk of myocardial infarction (IRR 1.76; 95% CI 1.08-2.86) and peripheral arterial occlusion disease (IRR 3.67; 95% CI 2.84-4.74) but not with ischemic stroke (IRR 0.89; 95% CI 0.61-1.29). Factors independently associated with MACE in SSc patients included age (aHR 1.02), male gender (aHR 2.01), living in a suburban area (aHR 2.09), living in a rural area (aHR 3.00), valvular heart disease (aHR 4.26), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (aHR 2.14), use of clopidogrel (aHR 26.65), and use of aspirin (aHR 5.31).

CONCLUSIONS

The risk of MACE was not significantly increased in Taiwanese patients with SSc, and our investigation effectively identified the factors independently associated with MACE in SSc patients. Additionally, patients with SSc exhibited higher risks of MI and PAOD but not ischemic stroke.
