Abstract
Previous studies indicated conflicting findings regarding the association between vitamin D and abnormal spermatozoa. Herein, we assessed the causal association between circulating 25-Hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) levels and the risk of abnormal spermatozoa by utilizing bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Genome-wide association study summary statistics for 25OHD and abnormal spermatozoa were obtained from publicly accessible databases. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with 25OHD and SNPs associated with abnormal spermatozoa were used as instrumental variables (IVs) for forward MR analysis and reverse MR analysis, respectively. Inverse variance weighted (IVW) was the main MR approach, while weighted median, MR-Egger, and maximum likelihood methods were employed to supplement IVW. In addition, several sensitivity tests assessed the reliability of MR analysis. Forward MR analysis showed that elevated 25OHD levels significantly reduced abnormal spermatozoa risk (odds ratio [OR] = 0.75, 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 0.56-1.00, P = 4.98E-02), and the effect remained statistically significant after excluding SNPs associated with confounders (OR = 0.73, 95 % CI: 0.54-0.98, P = 3.83E-02) or only utilizing SNPs located near 25OHD-associated genes only as IVs (OR = 0.58, 95 % CI: 0.41-0.81, P = 1.67E-03). Reverse MR analysis indicated abnormal spermatozoa not affecting 25OHD level (P > 0.05). Sensitivity tests showed that MR analyses were not affected by heterogeneity and horizontal polytropy. Overall, the present MR study supports that elevated 25OHD levels reduce the risk of abnormal spermatozoa. Therefore, ensuring adequate vitamin D intake and maintaining stable levels of 25OHD may be effective strategies to optimize reproductive outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleep quality may be related to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), however causal associations have not been established. This study aimed to evaluate causal relationships between six sleep traits ([i] day time napping, [ii] daytime sleepiness, [iii] insomnia, [iv] long sleep duration, [v] short sleep duration, and [vi] sleep duration per hour) and BPH through a bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) study. METHODS Genome-wide association summary statistics of sleep traits and BPH were downloaded from public databases. Inverse variance weighting (IVW) was used as the main approach for causal inference. For causal estimates identified by IVW, various sensitivity analyses were performed to assess the reliability of the results: (i) four additional MR methods to complement IVW; (ii) Cochran's Q test to assess heterogeneity; (iii) MR-Egger intercept test and MR-PRESSO global test to assess horizontal pleiotropy; and (iv) leave-one-out method to assess stability. RESULTS Forward MR analyses indicated that genetically predicted insomnia symptom significantly increased BPH risk (OR = 1.267, 95% CI: 1.003-1.601, P = 0.048), while reverse MR analyses identified that genetically predicted liability to BPH significantly increased the incidence of insomnia (OR = 1.026, 95% CI: 1.000-1.052, P = 0.048). In a replicate MR analysis based on summary statistics including exclusively male participants, the finding of increased risk of BPH due to genetically predicted insomnia symptom was further validated (OR = 1.488, 95% CI: 1.096-2.022, P = 0.011). No further causal links were identified. In addition, sensitivity tests demonstrated the reliability of the MR results. CONCLUSION This study identified that a higher prevalence of genetically predicted insomnia symptoms may significantly increase the risk of BPH, while genetically predicted liability to BPH may in turn increase the incidence of insomnia symptom. Therefore, improving sleep quality and reducing the risk of insomnia could be a crucial approach for the prevention of BPH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuroinflammation is involved in the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD), and N-acylethanolamine acid amidase (NAAA) is involved in regulating inflammation by hydrolyzing bioactive lipid mediators called N-acylethanolamines (NAEs). However, the causal relationship between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) NAAA protein levels and the risk of PD remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the causal effect of CSF NAAA levels on PD risk through Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. METHOD Genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics for CSF NAAA protein quantitative trait loci (pQTL) and GWAS summary statistics for PD were obtained from publicly available databases. Inverse-variance weighted (IVW) was the main causal estimation method for MR analysis. In addition, the maximum likelihood, MR Egger regression, and weighted median were used to supplement the IVW results. Finally, various sensitivity tests were performed to verify the reliability of the MR findings. RESULTS In the initial MR analysis, the IVW showed that CSF NAAA protein levels significantly increased PD risk (odds ratio [OR] = 1.17, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01-1.35, P = 0.031). This finding was further validated in a replicate MR analysis (OR = 1.20, 95% CI: 1.02-1.41, P = 0.027). Sensitivity analysis showed that MR results were stable and not affected by heterogeneity and horizontal pleiotropy. CONCLUSION The present MR study supports a causal relationship between elevated CSF NAAA protein levels and increased PD risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most prevalent degenerative disease globally. While observational studies have demonstrated a correlation between thyroid function and PD, the causal relationship between these two factors remains uncertain. METHODS A bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was performed to explore the causal relationship between thyroid function (free thyroxine [FT4], thyroid-stimulating hormone [TSH], hyperthyroidism, and hypothyroidism) and PD. GWAS summary-level statistics of thyroid function and PD were obtained from publicly available GWAS databases. The inverse variance weighted method was the main MR approach to assess causal associations. In addition, two additional MR methods (MR-Egger regression and weighted median) were performed to supplement the IVW. Furthermore, various sensitivity tests were performed to verify the reliability of the MR findings: (i) Heterogeneity was examined by Cochrane's Q test. (ii) Horizontal pleiotropy was assessed by the MR-Egger intercept test and MR-PRESSO global test. (iii) The robustness of MR results was estimated using the leave-one-out method. RESULTS Various MR results showed that FT4, TSH, hyperthyroidism, and hypothyroidism did not causally affect PD (P > 0.05). Likewise, PD did not causally affect FT4, TSH, hyperthyroidism, and hypothyroidism (P > 0.05). Cochrane's Q test indicated that MR analysis was not affected by significant heterogeneity (P > 0.05). MR-Egger intercept test and MR-PRESSO global test indicated that MR analysis was not affected by a remarkable horizontal pleiotropy (P > 0.05). The leave-one-out method demonstrated the stability of MR results. CONCLUSION MR analysis did not support a causal relationship between thyroid function and PD.

Abstract
AIM Estimating the risk of developing ischemic stroke (IS) may assist health professionals in motivating individuals to modify their risk behavior. METHODS A predictive model was derived from 178,186 participants from Fukushima Health Database, aged 40-74 years, who attended the health checkup in 2014 and completed at least one annual health checkup by 2018 (Cohort I). Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to build a 4-year prediction model, thus the risk scores were based on the regression coefficients. External validation for the risk scores was conducted in another cohort of 46,099 participants following between 2015 and 2019 (Cohort II). RESULTS The 4-year cumulated incidence rate of IS was 179.80/100,000 person-years in Cohort I. The predictive model included age, sex, blood pressure, hypertension treatment, diabetes, low- and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, smoking, walking pace, and body weight change of 3 kg within one year. Risk scores were interpreted based on the Cohort I predictive model function. The Harrell's C-statistics of the discrimination ability of the risk score model (95% confidence interval) was 0.744 (0.729-0.759) in Cohort I and 0.770 (0.743-0.797) in Cohort II. The overall agreement of the risk score probability of IS incidence for the observed/expected case ratio and 95% CI was 0.98 (0.92-1.05) in Cohort I and 1.08 (0.95-1.22) in Cohort II. CONCLUSIONS The 4-year risk prediction model revealed a good performance for IS incidence, and risk scores could be used to estimate individual incidence risk of IS. Updated models with additional confirmed risk variables may be needed.

Abstract
This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the association between the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors and dementia onset as well as cognitive function in patients with diabetes mellitus. We comprehensively searched the MEDLINE, Embase, and CENTRAL databases to select relevant studies published up to August 2023. The use of SGLT-2 inhibitors significantly lowers dementia risk compared to SGLT-2i non-users (Hazard ratio: 0.68, 95 % CI: 0.50-0.92). Furthermore, our findings indicated a positive effect of SGLT-2 inhibitor use on cognitive function score improvement, as demonstrated by the standardized mean difference of 0.88 (95 % CI: 0.32-1.44), particularly among populations with mild cognitive impairment or dementia. This systematic review and meta-analysis indicate a potential role of SGLT-2 inhibitors in reducing the risk of dementia in patients with diabetes mellitus. These findings underscore the need for well-controlled large clinical trials and future research in this field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Blood pressure is a risk factor for intracranial aneurysms (IA). Nevertheless, whether various antihypertensive drug classes discriminate in reducing IA risk is unclear. METHODS Genome-wide association study summary statistics for systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), IA (non-ruptured), and IA [subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)] were downloaded. To proxy the effects of antihypertensive drugs, genetic variants associated with SBP adjacent to the coding regions of different antihypertensive drugs were selected. The inverse-variance-weighted (IVW) method was employed as the primary method for causal estimation. In addition, three additional MR methods and sensitivity tests were utilized to assess the reliability. RESULTS Elevated blood pressure significantly increases the risk of IA: (i) SBP-IA (non-ruptured): odds ratio (OR) = 1.046, 95 % confidence interval (CI): 1.032-1.061, P = 1.05E-10; (ii) SBP-IA (SAH): OR = 1.040, 95 % CI: 1.030-1.050, P = 2.56E-15; (iii) DBP-IA (non-ruptured): OR = 1.082, 95 % CI: 1.056-1.110, P = 3.15E-10; (iv) DBP-IA (SAH): OR = 1.066, 95 % CI: 1.047-1.085, P = 1.25E-12. In addition, among calcium channel blockers (CCBs), beta-blockers (BBs), and thiazide diuretics (TDs), only SBP mediated by TDs target genes significantly increased the risk of IA (non-rupture) (OR = 1.164, 95 % CI: 1.060-1.279, P = 0.001) and IA (SAH) (OR = 1.136, 95 % CI: 1.063-1.214, P = 1.58E-04), while SBP mediated by target genes of BBs or CCBs did not causally associate with IA. CONCLUSION Elevated blood pressure significantly increases IA risk, while TDs may be a promising antihypertensive medication for reducing IA risk. Further research with larger cohorts is essential for validation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to screen and identify common variants and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with gastric cancer risk, and construct prediction models based on polygenic risk score (PRS). METHODS The risk factors associated with gastric cancer were screened following meta-analysis and bioinformatics, verified by population-based case-control study. We constructed PRS and weighted genetic risk scores (wGRS) derived from the validation data set. Net reclassification improvement (NRI), integrated discrimination improvement (IDI), Akaike information criterion (AIC) and Bayesian information criterion (BIC) were used to evaluate model. RESULTS The PRS was divided into 10 quantiles, with the 40-60% quantile as a reference. A risk gradient was revealed across quantile of the PRS, the risk of gastric cancer in the highest 10 quantile of PRS was 3.24 folds higher than that in control population (OR=3.24, 95%CI: 2.07, 5.06). For NRI and IDI, PRS combinations were significantly improved compared to wGRS model combinations (P<0.001). The model of PRS combined with lncRNA SNPs, smoking, drinking and Helicobacter pylori infection was the best fitting model (AIC=117.23, BIC=122.31). CONCLUSION The model based on PRS combined with lncRNA SNPs, H. pylori infection, smoking and drinking had the optimal predictive ability for gastric cancer risk, which was helpful to distinguish high-risk groups.

Abstract
Although the association between selenium (Se) and diabetes has been well-discussed in recent years, few studies have focused on the effects of long-term natural Se exposure and rarely concerned the effects of different Se biomarkers. To address this question, we carried out a 7-year longitudinal study on older adults aged over 65 and another cross-sectional study on middle-aged and older adults aged 40 and above from Chinese soil Se-deplete and Se-optimum areas. Cox proportional hazard models were used to evaluate the associations between nail Se levels and incidence risk of diabetes. Unconditional logistic regression models and analysis of variance models were used to examine the associations between serum Se levels and the prevalence risk of diabetes. The nail and serum Se levels were 0.47 ± 0.20 μg/g and 111.09 ± 55.01 μg/L for the two study populations, respectively. For both of the independent studies, higher Se levels were observed to be associated with a higher risk of diabetes and prediabetes. Compared with the Second nail Se quartile (Q2), the adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CIs) of diabetes for Q1, Q3 and Q4 were 1.24(0.70, 2.21), 1.53(0.98, 2.39) and 1.31(0.76, 2.26), respectively, and the adjusted HRs (95 % CIs) of prediabetes were 1.47(0.77, 2.81), 1.38(0.83, 2.30), and 1.97(1.13, 3.44), respectively. Compared with the first serum Se quintile (Q1), the adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95 % CIs of diabetes for higher quintiles were 1.12(0.75, 1.66), 1.05(0.71, 1.57), 1.09(0.73, 1.62) and 1.51(1.02, 2.19), and the adjusted ORs (95 % CIs) of prediabetes were 1.27(0.77, 2.09), 1.70(1.05, 2.74), 1.94(1.21, 3.11) and 1.67(1.03, 2.71). Our findings consistently suggest that higher Se status is associated with a higher risk of diabetes in adults.

Abstract
Background Breast cancer is an umbrella term referring to a group of biologically and molecularly heterogeneous diseases originating from the breast. Globally, incidences of breast cancer has been increasing dramatically over the past decades. Analyses of multiple clinical “big data” can aid us in clarifying the means of preventing the disease. In addition, predisposing risk factors will be the most important issues if we can confirm their relevance. This study aims to provide an overview of the predisposing factors that contribute to a higher possibility of developing breast cancer and emphasize the signs that we ought to pay more attention to. Methods This is a matched nested case-control study. The cohort focused on identifying the eligible risk factors in breast cancer development by data screening (2000-2013) from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) under approved protocol. A total of 486,069 females were enrolled from a nationwide sampled database, and 3281 females was elligible as breast cancer cohort, 478,574 females who had never diagnosed with breast cancer from 2000 to 2013 were eligible as non-breast cancer controls, and matched to breast cancer cases according to age using a 1:6 ratio. Results We analyzed 3281 breast cancer cases and 19,686 non-breast cancer controls after an age-matched procedure. The significant predisposing factors associated with breast cancer development including obesity, hyperlipidemia, thyroid cancer and liver cancer. As for patients under the age of 55, gastric cancer does seem to have an impact on the development of breast cancer; compared with their counterparts over the age of 55, endometrial cancer appears to exhibit an evocative effect. Conclusions In this nationwide matched nested case-control study, we identified obesity, hyperlipidemia, previous cancers of the thyroid, stomach and liver as risk factors associated with breast cancer. However, the retrospective nature and limited case numbers of certain cancers still difficult to provide robust evidence. Further prospective studies are necessitated to corroborate this finding in order to nip the disease in the bud. Trial registration The studies involving human participants were reviewed and approved by the China Medical University Hospital [CMUH104-REC2-115(AR-4)].

Abstract
Incidence risks for cerebrovascular diseases (CeVD) and some types of stroke in a cohort of 22,377 Russian Mayak nuclear workers chronically exposed to ionising radiation and followed up until the end of 2018 are reported. Among total 9469 cases of CeVD, 2078 cases were strokes that included 262 hemorrhagic strokes (HS) and 1611 ischemic strokes (IS). Data evaluation was performed with categorical and dose-response analyses estimating the relative risk (RR) and excess relative risk (ERR) per unit cumulative liver absorbed dose of external gamma-ray or internal alpha-particle exposure based on a linear model utilizing the AMFIT module of the EPICURE software. CeVD incidence was found to be significantly associated with cumulative radiation dose: ERR/Gy was 0.37 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.27, 0.47) in males and 0.47 (95% CI 0.31, 0.66) in females for external exposure, and 0.31 (95% CI 0.11, 0.59) in males and 0.32 (95% CI 0.11, 0.61) in females for internal exposure. When the model for the analysis of external radiation effect did not include an adjustment for alpha radiation dose (and vice versa), the radiogenic risk estimate increased notably both for males and for females. In contrast, exclusion from or inclusion in the model of additional adjustments for non-radiation factors did not notably change the risk estimates. ERR/Gy of external gamma dose for CeVD incidence significantly decreased with increasing attained age (males and females) and duration of employment (females). No significant associations of either stroke or its types with cumulative gamma-ray dose of external exposure or alpha-particle dose of internal exposure were found.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Whether the asymptomatic hyperuricemia (AH) raise the cardiovascular disease risk with or without hyperuricemia-related comorbidities still remains contentious. Our study was aimed to quantitatively access the incidence risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke associated with AH. METHODS AND RESULTS In this prospective cohort study, multivariate-adjusted Cox regression models were applied to evaluate the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Baseline serum uric acid beyond normouricemia (357 mmol/L) was quarterly stratified based on the distribution of healthy populations without CVD onset. 1062 CVD first-attack cases were collected among the 29,974 study population (age range: 18-91, mean age: 47.2 ± 13.9 years-old) with a mean follow-up duration of 5.78 ± 0.83 years. The AH showed overall non-association with the CVD incident. However, significantly increased adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of CVD with 95% confidence interval (CI) were observed when the fourth quartile compared with normouricemia stratum in the total cohort population (CHD: 1.42, 1.21-1.68; stroke: 1.27, 1.06-1.41), male (CHD: 1.26, 1.12-1.55), female (CHD: 1.34, 1.04-2.02; stroke: 2.06, 1.13-3.77) and aged over 50 years-old population. Meanwhile, the age-standardized incidence rate of CVD in the fourth quartile was 2-3 times higher than the normouricemia population. After excluded 14,464 baseline population with diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension, consistent results were also observed in the AH population in absence of comorbidities (CHD: 1.51, 1.22-2.25; stroke: 1.68, 1.13-2.39). CONCLUSION Asymptomatic hyperuricemia patients exposed to a higher level of uric acid (>=428 mmol/L) could significantly increase the incidence risk of CHD and stroke, with or without hyperuricemia-related comorbidities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A secondary malignancy is the most serious complication in lung cancer (LC) survivors. This study aimed to evaluate the clinicopathological features, predictable risk factors and survival of patients with LC who developed therapy-related acute myeloid leukaemia (t-AML). METHODS Patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database diagnosed with t-AML after LC between 1975 and 2015 were included. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were used to perform multiple primary analyses. The risk of t-AML development among LC patients was assessed using a logistic regression model. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to construct overall survival (OS) curves. Cox regression was used to assess the influence of various prognostic factors. RESULTS A total of 104 patients with t-AML after LC-targeting chemotherapy were included. The median latency period to the development of t-AML was 35.5 months. The calculated SIR of t-AML was 4.00. Chemoradiotherapy, small cell lung cancer (SCLC), or localized/regional-stage LC was a risk factor for the development of t-AML. The median OS was only 1 month, and those younger than 65 years were predicted to have a better OS time. CONCLUSIONS t-AML is a rare but serious late complication in LC patients and is associated with a poor prognosis. It is necessary to carry out long-term follow-up and screen for t-AML in LC patients, especially among those undergoing both radiotherapy and chemotherapy, with SCLC or with localized/regional-stage LC.

Abstract
This study was designed to compare a milk I-ELISA with a serum ELISA for the diagnosis of brucellosis in dairy cattle and then to use the milk I-ELISA to determine the prevalence and incidence of brucellosis in dairy herds in Hubei Province, China. The two tests were shown to have good agreement with a Cohen's kappa statistic of 0.747 (p < 0.001) when 147 animals originating from 4 dairy herds in the province were tested. The results of Bayesian Latent Class Analysis estimated that the sensitivity and specificity of the milk I-ELISA under field conditions were 87.2 % and 92.0 %, respectively. An epidemiological survey based on the milk I-ELISA was then conducted in 3091 cows from 15 commercial dairy herds from January to July 2018 in Hubei Province. The animal level real prevalence varied from 34.9 % (95 % CI: 28.5, 41.8) to 51.4 % (95 % CI: 48.2, 54.6) in the 15 herds tested. Most farms (93.3 %) tested contained at least one test-positive animal. As only ten farms met the inclusion criteria for the calculation of incidence risk, the overall real incidence risk in 10 of these farms was 0.4 % (95 % CI: 0.1, 1.2) per 3 months, which highlights the potential for spread of the disease within infected herds. It is concluded that the milk I-ELISA test could be used as a rapid screening test for brucellosis in unvaccinated dairy cows and, given the high occurrence of bovine brucellosis in this study, an effective prevention and control program needs to be developed and implemented in Hubei Province, China.

Abstract
Objective: To establish a prediction model for 6-year incidence risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the elderly aged 65 years and older in China. Methods: In this prospective cohort study, we used the data of 3 742 participants collected during 2008/2009-2014 and during 2012-2017/2018 from Healthy Aging and Biomarkers Cohort Study, a sub-cohort of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey. Two follow up surveys for renal function were successfully conducted for 1 055 participants without CKD in baseline survey. Lasso method was used for the selection of risk factors. The risk prediction model of CKD was established by using Cox proportional hazards regression models and visualized through nomogram tool. Bootstrap method (1 000 resample) was used for internal validation, and the performance of the model was assessed by C-index and calibration curve. Results: The mean age of participants was (80.8±11.4) years. In 4 797 person years of follow up, CKD was found in 262 participants (24.8%). Age, BMI, sex, education level, marital status, having retirement pension or insurance, hypertension prevalence, blood uric acid, blood urea nitrogen and total cholesterol levels and estimated glomerular filtration rate in baseline survey were used in the model to predict the 6-year incidence risk of CKD in the elderly. The corrected C-index was 0.766, the calibration curve showed good consistence between predicted probability and observed probability in high risk group, but relatively poor consistence in low risk group. Conclusion: The incidence risk prediction model of CKD established in this study has a good performance, and the nomogram can be used as visualization tool to predict the 6-year risk of CKD in the elderly aged 65 years and older in China.

Aim The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of using eye masks and earplugs on the risk of post-traumatic stress disorder development in patients admitted to cardiac surgery intensive care units. Settings and design This is a clinical trial that conducted in intensive care units in Iran. Materials and methods Sample of the present clinical trial consisted of 68 patients undergoing open-heart cardiac surgery that were randomly assigned to two groups. Patients in the control group received the usual care, and patients in the intervention group used eye masks and earplugs during sleep. The risk of post-traumatic stress disorder development before surgery and 2 months after discharge from the intensive care unit was assessed using the impact of event scale-revised. Statistical analysis Statistical analysis: Data were analyzed using paired t-test and independent t-test in Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24 software. Results Patients in the two groups were similar in terms of demographic characteristics. The mean of the total scores of patients in the control and intervention group before surgery was 10.41 ± 5.25 and 10.71 ± 5.10, respectively (p = 0.82). The mean of the total scores of patients in the control and intervention group 2 months after discharge was 29.50 ± 5.90 and 11.72 ± 6.48, respectively (p <0.001). Conclusion The use of eye masks and earplugs significantly reduces the risk of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) development in patients undergoing open-heart cardiac surgery.
