Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Cohort studies have linked metabolic syndrome (MetS) to gastrointestinal (GI) cancer risk. We aimed to evaluate the associations between MetS, its components, and combinations of MetS components with eight GI cancers risk. METHODS We conducted a systematic search of prospective cohort studies and performed a meta-analysis. Subgroup analyses regarding diagnostic criteria, sex, cancer sites, histological subtypes, ethnic groups, and studies adjusted for alcohol consumption were carried out. Mendelian randomization (MR) was employed to evaluate the causality between 17 MetS-related traits and eight GI cancers among Europeans and Asians separately. RESULTS Meta-analyses of 31 prospective studies indicated that MetS was significantly associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) (RR [95% CI] = 1.13 [1.12-1.15]), esophageal cancer (EC) (RR [95% CI] = 1.17 [1.03-1.32]), gallbladder cancer (GBC) (RR [95% CI] = 1.37[1.10-1.71]), liver cancer (LC) (RR [95% CI] = 1.46 [1.29-1.64]), and pancreatic cancer (PaC) (RR [95% CI] = 1.25 [1.20-1.30]), but not gastric cancer (GC) (RR [95% CI] = 1.11 [0.96-1.28]). Regarding the associations between MetS components and GI cancers risk, the following associations showed statistical significance: obesity-CRC/LC/EC/, hypertriglyceridemia-LC/PaC, reduced high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-CRC/LC/GC/PaC, hyperglycemia-CRC/LC/PaC, and hypertension-CRC/LC/EC/PaC. Sex-specific associations were observed between individual MetS components on GI cancers risk. Among the top three common combinations in both sexes, obesity + HTN + hyperglycemia had the strongest association with CRC risk (RR [95% CI] = 1.54 [1.49-1.61] for males and 1.27 [1.21-1.33] for females). MR analyses revealed causality in 16 exposure-outcome pairs: waist-to-hip ratio/BMI/HbA1c-CRC; BMI/childhood obesity/waist circumference/T2DM/glucose-EC; BMI/waist circumference/cholesterol-LC; cholesterol/childhood obesity/waist circumference/HbA1c-PaC; and HbA1c-GBC. These results were robust against sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS Since MetS is reversible, lifestyle changes or medical interventions targeting MetS patients might be potential prevention strategies for GI cancers.

Abstract
The comorbidities between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and various neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders have been widely reported. However, the genetic correlations, causal relationships, and underlying mechanisms linking GERD to these disorders remain largely unknown. Here, we conducted a bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to determine the causality between GERD and 6 neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders. Sensitivity analyses and multivariable MR were performed to test the robustness of our findings. Linkage disequilibrium score regression was used to assess the genetic correlation between these diseases as affected by heredity. Multiple bioinformatics tools combining two machine learning algorithms were applied to further investigate the potential mechanisms underlying these diseases. We found that genetically predicted GERD significantly increased the risk of Alzheimer's disease, major depressive disorder, and anxiety disorders. There might be a bidirectional relationship between GERD and insomnia. GERD has varying degrees of genetic correlations with AD, ALS, anxiety disorders, insomnia, and depressive disorder. Bioinformatics analyses revealed the hub shared genes and the common pathways between GERD and 6 neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders. Our findings demonstrated the complex nature of the genetic architecture across these diseases and clarified their causality, highlighting that treatments for the cure or remission of GERD may serve as potential strategies for preventing and managing neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders.

Abstract
Background: Recent studies have linked atopic dermatitis (AD) to colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. Their causality and potential molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Methods: We performed Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to evaluate the causality between AD and CRC. Summary statistic data-based Mendelian randomization (SMR) analysis was used to identify CRC-related causal genes. Transcriptome analyses and immunohistochemical methods were applied to investigate the shared gene signature and potential mechanisms that contribute to the pathogenesis of both AD and CRC. A predictive analysis was performed to examine the shared gene signature associated with immunotherapy response in CRC. Results: MR analysis indicated a causal association between AD and a decreased risk of CRC. SMR analysis uncovered TET2 as a CRC-related causal gene, showing an inverse relationship with the risk of CRC. Transcriptome analyses identified TET2 as a shared gene signature between AD and CRC. Decreased TET2 expression is associated with impaired demethylation and worse prognosis in CRC patients. We observed ten pathways related to the inflammatory response and immune regulation that may be shared mechanisms underlying both AD and CRC. These findings were validated through single-cell analysis. TET2 shows promise as a powerful predictive biomarker for cancer prognosis and immunotherapy response in CRC. Conclusion: There is a causal association between AD and a decreased risk of CRC. AD may influence the occurrence of CRC by modulating immune and inflammatory responses. TET2 could serve as a potential biomarker for prognosis and may be considered a novel therapeutic target for methylation and immune-related interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nowadays, hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) has a significant negative impact on children's health, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay (LAMP) is a highly efficient and convenient novel tool. However, its diagnostic accuracy for HFMD is still not clear. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis in order to evaluate the potential of LAMP assay for the diagnosis of HFMD, in which the reference standard was polymerase chain reaction (PCR). METHODS A protocol was predetermined (CRD42020212882) in PROSPERO. We retrieved seven databases including PubMed for relevant studies published before October 2020. Articles were included if they compared the diagnostic efficiency of LAMP with PCR for HFMD through detecting clinical samples which was more than 15. Statistical analysis was performed by STATA 15.1 software. Risk of bias and applicability were assessed using Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies. No funding was used for the study. RESULTS A total of 18 retrospective studies including 2495 samples from China were finally included. Reference standards of them included RT-PCR and non-RT-PCR. The merged sensitivity and specificity with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were 1.00 (0.97-1.00) and 0.97 (0.88-0.99), respectively. The pooled PLR, NLR, and DOR with 95% CI were 11.17 (5.91-21.11), 0.05 (0.03-0.09), and 538.12 (183.17-1580.83), respectively. The AUC of SROC was 1.00 (95% CI: 0.99-1.00). CONCLUSION In conclusion, our research revealed high sensitivity and specificity of LAMP in diagnosing HFMD. However, more high-quality research is required to prove this conclusion.
