Summary: Osteoporosis is a systemic bone disease characterized by decreased bone density and quality, leading to bone fragility and increased risk of fractures. The development of osteoporosis is closely associated with oxidative stress, and uric acid plays a role in bone metabolism by acting as an antioxidant. However, the degradation of uric acid can lead to intracellular oxidative stress and inflammatory factors, contributing to bone destruction. Additionally, uric acid can inhibit vitamin D production, exacerbating bone loss. This review summarizes the relationship between serum uric acid levels and bone mineral density, bone turnover markers, etc., aiming to provide new insights into the pathogenesis and treatment of osteoporosis.

Summary: The average SUA level among centenarians was 329.0±97.75μmol/L, with a prevalence of hyperuricemia at 26.5%. While no significant association was found between SUA levels and hypertension/diabetes, there was an independent positive association with dyslipidemia, particularly with hypertriglyceridemia and low-density lipoprotein cholesterolemia.

Summary: This study found a significant correlation between serum xanthine oxidase (XO) levels and hypertension, with XO positively correlated with systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). This suggests that XO may play a role in the pathophysiology of hypertension through the generation of reactive oxygen species.

Summary: The incidence and risk of lung cancer are higher in tuberculosis patients, while the incidence and risk of tuberculosis are relatively low in lung cancer patients. Male patients have a higher risk compared to females. Medical comorbidities, smoking habits, and age also influence the associations and risks of both diseases.

This study examines the role of maternal dietary exposure to multiple mycotoxins in the development of adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes. The findings indicate that exposure to OTA is associated with higher odds of low birth weight babies.

Summary: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and assess its relationship with hyperuricemia in Bangladeshi adults. The results showed that the prevalence of CKD was 5.9%, with 6.1% in males and 5.2% in females. Hyperuricemia was prevalent in 18.7% of participants, with higher rates in males (23.2%) than in females (14.6%). There was a significant positive association between hyperuricemia and CKD.

Summary: Obesity is a major risk factor for hypertension and other diseases, while hypertension is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with obesity and hypertension among university academic staff in Bangladesh. The results showed that female staff had a higher prevalence of obesity, while male staff had a higher prevalence of hypertension. Comprehensive screening programs are needed to address the high prevalence of obesity and hypertension in this group.

Summary: The use of e-cigarettes is increasing worldwide, but little is known about their adverse effects on human health. This review summarizes the impact of e-cigarette exposure on different organ systems, suggesting that while they cause less harm than traditional cigarettes, long-term exposure may still lead to serious health effects. Short-term organ effects and the potential dangers of secondhand and third hand exposure have not been thoroughly investigated. More research is needed to draw a firm conclusion about the safe use of e-cigarettes.
