Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the association between uric acid (UA) levels and vascular dementia (VaD) and Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD), a meta-analysis was conducted. METHODS The relevant studies were identified by searching PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Collaboration Database up to May 2022. Pooled analysis, sensitivity analysis, and publication bias examination were all conducted. All analyses were performed by using STATA 16. RESULTS Twelve studies with a total of 2097 subjects were included. The pooled analysis showed that UA levels were not associated with VaD (WMD = - 10.99 μmol/L, 95% CI (- 48.05, 26.07), P = 0.561) but were associated with PDD (WMD = - 25.22 μmol/L, 95% CI (- 43.47, - 6.97), P = 0.007). The statistical stability and reliability were evaluated using sensitivity analysis and publication bias outcomes. CONCLUSION UA levels are associated with PDD but not with VaD. This study will help to strengthen our knowledge of the pathophysiologies of VaD and PDD, and promote the development of prevention and treatment strategies.

Abstract
Background Blood uric acid level indicates an emerging biomarker in Parkinson's disease (PD). This study aimed to evaluate longitudinal uric acid levels among different kinds of glucocerebrosidase (GBA) mutations and to compare it among sporadic PD, genetic cohort Parkinson's disease (GENPD), genetic cohort unaffected (GENUN), and healthy control (HC) patients. Methods We conducted a study on 654 individuals from the Parkinson's progression markers initiative (PPMI) database. Baseline characteristics, uric acid levels, movement disorder society unified Parkinson's disease rating scale III (MDS-UPDRS III), Hoehn and Yahr Parkinson stage (H&Y stage), and DaT scan specific binding ratio (SBR) data were obtained. Different GBA mutations were collected and categorized into three groups. Longitudinal measurements of uric acid and MDS-UPDRS III score were evaluated during 3-years of follow-up. Result GENPD cohort exhibited a greater MDS-UPDRS III score, H&Y stage, and lower SBR in the right caudate, left caudate, and right putamen compared to sporadic PD. Baseline uric acid level was similar among all groups and different GBA variants. After adjustment for age, sex, and body mass index, the uric acid level was significantly lower in the GENPD group than in HC during year 2 (P-value: 0.009). No significant longitudinal differences were detected for the MDS-UPDRS III score and three groups of GBA mutations. Conclusion This is the first study to assess uric acid levels and MDS-UPDRS III scores among different GBA mutation variants within 3 years of follow-up. We found similar clinical characteristics among different subtypes of GBA mutations.

Abstract
AIMS Uric acid (UA) may play a crucial role in the process of cerebral small vessel disease (SVD), but few follow-up studies have focused on the effect of UA in the progression of SVD. The present study aimed to ascertain whether serum UA levels are associated with the risk of SVD progression. METHODS We performed an observational clinical study in adults older than 45 years with cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) from 30 October 2015, to 28 January 2021. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether their total burden of SVD scores increased or not during the follow-up: SVD progression (increased by at least one point) and without SVD progression (increased 0 points). Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were used for univariate analysis between groups to identify the risk factors for SVD progression. RESULTS Ultimately, 261 eligible patients were included in the final analysis. Of the 261 eligible patients, 73 were included in the SVD progression group, and 188 were included in the group without SVD progression. Correlation analysis found that the levels of UA and the ratio of hyperuricemia (HUA) showed statistically significant correlations with SVD progression risk (r = 0.197 and Crammer's V = 0.213, respectively, P < 0.01). Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier survival analyses showed that after adjustment for covariates, HUA was an independent risk factor for the incidence of SVD progression. The risk of SVD progression in patients with HUA was higher than that in those without HUA (HR (95% CI), 1.77 (1.03-3.05), P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS High serum UA levels are independently related to the risk of SVD progression, thus highlighting not only the influence of traditional risk factors such as hypertension and age on SVD but also the UA levels of patients for individualized treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS On March 11, 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred in Japan, with a nuclear accident subsequently occurring at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. The disaster forced many evacuees to change particular aspects of their lifestyles. This study assessed the association between evacuation and hyperuricemia based on the Fukushima Health Management Survey from a lifestyle and socio-psychological perspective. METHODS AND RESULTS This cross-sectional study included 22,812 residents (9391 men and 13,297 women) who underwent both the Comprehensive Health Check and the Mental Health and Lifestyle Survey in fiscal year 2011. Associations between hyperuricemia and lifestyle- and disaster-related factors including evacuation were estimated using a logistic and liner regression analysis. With hyperuricemia defined as uric acid levels >7.0 mg/dL for men and >6.0 mg/dL for women, significant associations were observed between evacuation and hyperuricemia in men (the multivariate-adjusted odds ratio 1.20, 95% confidence interval, 1.05-1.36, p = 0.005), but not in women. In the multivariate-adjusted multiple liner regression analysis, evacuation had significant and positive associations with uric acid levels both in men (β = 0.084, p = 0.002) and women (β = 0.060, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Evacuation after a natural disaster is an independent factor associated with hyperuricemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The prognostic impact of admission uric acid (UA) levels in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is controversial. We assessed the prognostic role of in-hospital UA changes in patients with AMI. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 375 consecutive patients (320 males, mean age 62.6 years) with AMI (232 with ST elevation MI) within 12 h of symptoms' onset. UA levels were daily measured throughout hospitalization and their admission and peak values were recorded. End-points were 30-day and 1-year mortality. Mortality rate at 30 days was 7.2% and at 1 year 10.9%. Patients who died within 30 days exhibited higher peak UA (10.24 mg/dl vs. 7.06 mg/dl, p < 0.001) and absolute UA elevation (1.7 mg/dl vs. 0.7 mg/dl, p < 0.001). Optimal values for predicting 30-day mortality were 9.65 mg/dl for peak UA and 2.35 mg/dl for UA elevation. Concerning 1-year mortality, deceased patients had higher peak UA levels (9.71 mg/dl vs. 7 mg/dl, p < 0.001) and absolute UA elevation (1.5 mg/dl vs. 0.6 mg/dl, p < 0.001). Optimal values for predicting 1-year mortality were 9.55 mg/dl for peak UA and 1.1 mg/dl for UA elevation. With Cox regression analysis peak UA (adjHR 1.157, p = 0.030) and UA elevation (adjHR 1.288, p = 0.009) were independent predictors of 30-day mortality. Similarly, peak UA levels (adjHR 1.204, p = 0.001) and UA elevation (adjHR 1.213, p = 0.001) predicted 1-year mortality. CONCLUSIONS In patients with AMI peak rather than admission UA levels, and absolute in-hospital UA elevation predict both 30-day and 1-year mortality. Serial in-hospital UA measurements add prognostic information in AMI patients.
