This study aims to examine the altitude-MAFLD relationship and explore the potential mediators explaining the relationship. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Data were derived from the China Multi-Ethnic Cohort. The participants' altitude information was extracted from their residential addresses. MAFLD was diagnosed based on radiographically confirmed hepatic steatosis and any one of the following three items: overweight/obese status, diabetes mellitus, or metabolic dysregulation. We performed multivariable logistic regression and mediation analyses to assess the altitude-MAFLD associations and potential mediators, respectively. In the mediation analysis, mediation proportion is an estimate of the extent to which the total effect (altitude-MAFLD association) is accounted for by the pathway through the mediators. <b><i>Results:</i></b> In total, 87,679 participants (female: 60.7%, mean age: 51.36 years) were included. The odds ratio of MAFLD was 1.61 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.52-1.71) between high and low altitudes, 1.52 (95% CI: 1.43-1.62) between high and middle altitudes, and 1.06 (95% CI: 1.01-1.10) between middle and low altitudes. Of the total estimated effect between high and low altitude, physical activity and vegetable intake accounted for 15.7% (95% CI: 12.8-19.1) and 3.8% (95% CI: 1.2-6.6), respectively.

Of the total estimated effect between middle and low altitude, vegetable intake accounted for 11.8% (95% CI: 3.2-61.5). <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Higher altitude was associated with increased odds of MAFLD, and physical activity and vegetable intake mediated such association.

Overall, 44.7% of the mentalD group compared with 14.7% of somaD experienced ameliorated symptoms during mountain sports at HA, while 2.6% and 8.8%, respectively, reported a worsening (χ<sup>2</sup>[2] =8.13, <i>p</i> = 0.017).

Acute hypobaric hypoxia (HH) causes alterations in acetylcholine-mediated signaling through varying expression of muscarinic receptors in the PFC and cerebellum of rats' brain. <i>High Alt Med Biol.</i> 00:00-00, 2024. <b><i>Background:</i></b> Muscarinic receptor (CHRM) proteins are G-protein-associated acetylcholine receptors found in neuronal membranes. Five major subtypes, CHRM1-CHRM5, modulate acetylcholine in central nervous system signaling cascades. CHRM1, CHRM3, and CHRM5 are linked to Gαq/Gα11 proteins, whereas CHRM2 and CHRM4 are linked to Gαi/Gαo proteins. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> Limited research has been conducted to explore the impact of HH on CHRM gene expressions. It is caused by low oxygen availability at high altitudes, which impairs neurotransmission, cognitive performance, and physiological functions. Previous studies have shown that exposure to hypoxia leads to a reduction in CHRM receptors, which in turn causes alteration in signal transduction, physiological responses, cognitive deficits, and mood alterations. <b><i>Method:</i></b> In the present study, we have used semiquantitative PCR to measure muscarinic receptor gene expression after 6, 12, and 24 hours of HH exposure at 25,000 feet using a decompression chamber in rat brain's PFC and cerebellum. <b><i>Result:</i></b> We have found that CHRM1-CHRM5 downregulated after acute exposure to hypoxia until 12 hours, and then, the expression level of these receptors increased to 24 hours when compared with 12 hours in PFC. All subtypes have shown a similar pattern in PFC regions under hypoxia exposure. On the other hand, these receptors have shown altered expression at different time points in the cerebellum. CHRM1 and CHRM4 acutely downregulated, CHRM2 and CHRM5 downregulated, while CHRM3 upregulated after hypoxia exposure. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Our study, for the first time, has shown the altered expressions of muscarinic receptors under temporal hypoxia exposure.

Noncompressible chest wall in critically buried avalanche victims with cardiac arrest: a case series. <i>High Alt Med Biol.</i> 00:00-00, 2024. <b><i>Introduction:</i></b> In avalanche victims with cardiac arrest, a noncompressible chest wall or frozen body is a contraindication to initiating cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The evidence sustaining this recommendation is low. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> To describe the characteristics and prehospital management of critically buried avalanche victims declared dead on site, with and without noncompressible chest walls. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Retrospective study including all critically buried avalanche victims declared dead on site by physicians of a helicopter emergency medical service in Switzerland, from 2010 to 2019. The primary outcome was the proportion of victims with a noncompressible chest wall reported in medical records. Secondary outcomes included victims' characteristics and the relevance of the criterion, noncompressible chest wall, for management. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Among the 53 included victims, 12 (23%) had noncompressible chest walls. Victims with noncompressible chest walls had significantly longer burial durations (median 1,125 vs. 45 minutes; <i>p</i> < 0.001) and lower core temperatures (median 14 vs. 32°C; <i>p</i> = 0.01). The criterion, noncompressible chest wall, assessed in six victims, was decisive for declaring death on site in four victims. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> The presence of a noncompressible chest wall does not appear to be a sufficient criterion to allow to declare the death of critically buried avalanche victims. Further clinical information should be sought.</p>","PeriodicalId":12975,"journal":{"name":"High altitude medicine & biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142345583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
