Summary: This study used the Mendelian randomization approach to explore the impact of circulating lipids and lipid-modifying drugs on pterygium development. The findings suggest that higher total cholesterol and genetically predicted low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels are risk factors for pterygium. Additionally, it was found that drugs that lower LDL-c levels may have a potential protective effect on pterygium outcomes.

Summary: Triglyceride-rich lipoproteins deliver fatty acids to tissues for oxidation and storage, facilitated by lipoprotein lipase (LPL) which acts as a gatekeeper for fatty acid uptake. LPL activity is regulated by extracellular proteins including members of the angiopoietin-like family of proteins. This review delves into how ANGPTL3, ANGPTL4, and ANGPTL8 regulate LPL activity and coordinate triglyceride metabolism and fat partitioning.

Summary: Angiopoietin-like proteins (ANGPTL3, ANGPTL4, and ANGPTL8) play a role in regulating plasma lipids. This study analyzed genetic variants in several genes related to lipid metabolism and found that ANGPTL4 primarily affects plasma metabolic parameters through LPL. On the other hand, ANGPTL3 affects these parameters by targeting both LPL and EL. The impact of the ANGPTL3-ANGPTL8 complex was found to be stronger on EL inhibition than on LPL inhibition. Overall, this analysis provides strong genetic evidence for the involvement of the ANGPTL3-ANGPTL8 complex in regulating plasma metabolic parameters.

Summary: Circulating cell-free DNA (cf-DNA) levels are associated with age, sex, smoking, physical activity, vegetable consumption, ageing phenotypes, and various biomarkers. Higher cf-DNA levels were found in men, especially middle-aged men and women who smoke, and older frail individuals. Inflammatory markers, metabolites, and antioxidant levels were correlated with cf-DNA levels. These findings have implications for future studies on the epidemiology and biological mechanisms of cf-DNA and its potential as a clinical marker.

Summary: This study tested whether cross-sectional modeling can distinguish slow vs accelerated aging in a human population. A machine learning model was trained to predict age and tested against longitudinal data. The results showed that the cross-sectional proxy failed to predict longitudinal observations, suggesting that differences in starting points may explain diverging aging rates.

Summary: Limited data is available on the association between neighbourhood deprivation and arterial stiffening. This study found that neighbourhood deprivation in childhood and adulthood predicts arterial stiffness indicated by pulse wave velocity (PWV). These findings suggest that neighbourhood deprivation and low adulthood socioeconomic status are independent risk factors for increased arterial stiffness in adulthood.

Summary: More than 1/4 of children globally lack documentation of their date of birth, emphasizing the need for biological methods to predict age. DNA methylation is the most promising biomarker for age assessment, but there is currently no epigenetic clock specifically designed for adolescents and young adults. A novel age predictor called PAYA, using 267 CpG methylation sites, shows potential for age assessment in this population, but further research is needed to test its robustness across different populations and environments.

Summary: This study identifies new genetic variants associated with resting heart rate (RHR) and demonstrates that higher genetically predicted RHR is associated with a decreased risk of atrial fibrillation and ischemic stroke. Genome-wide analysis reveals multiple genetic variants in cardiomyocyte-related genes and provides insights into their electrocardiogram (ECG) signature. Mendelian randomization analyses indicate that higher genetically predicted RHR increases the risk of dilated cardiomyopathy, but reduces the risk of atrial fibrillation, ischemic stroke, and cardio-embolic stroke.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for ischemic stroke (IS) after acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Based on a retrospective registry study of 8049 ACS patients, it was found that previous stroke, atrial fibrillation or flutter, and heart failure indicated by the Killip classification were the most significant risk factors for both early-onset and late-onset IS. Left ventricular ejection fraction and coronary artery disease severity were important risk factors for early-onset IS, while age and peripheral artery disease were important risk factors for late-onset IS. The CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score and its components were strong predictors for both early-onset and late-onset IS.
