The stratified prevalence of hyperuricemia by sex, age, region, and comorbidity group was reported. The association between hyperuricemia and sex, age, region, and comorbidities was analyzed in the multivariate logistic regression model. <b>Results:</b> In 2021, the sex- and age-adjusted prevalence of hyperuricemia was 13.6% in the total population (24.3% in men and 2.6% in women) based on the definition of serum urate level > 420 mmol/L. Regional prevalence varied considerably across the country, with the highest prevalence found in Fujian and the lowest in Liaoning Province (21.6% vs. 7.3%). Male sex, aging, hypertension, obesity, abdominal obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, and hypercholesterolemia were likely to be associated with hyperuricemia. <b>Conclusions:</b> This is the largest study using a healthcare database to indicate the prevalence of hyperuricemia in a health check-up population in an economically developed area of China.

Traditional diagnostic biomarkers are typically detected once a metabolic imbalance has already occurred, thus the development of early diagnostic biomarkers is crucial for T2DM. Metabolomics studies have identified several predictive biomarkers for T2DM, including miR-320. Our previous research found that miR-320b was significantly downregulated in T2DM patients, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the significance of miR-320b for T2DM diagnosis and to explore the involved molecular mechanism. <b>Methods:</b> A total of 50 patients with T2DM and 80 sex- and age-matched healthy subjects were selected. The plasma miR-320b of all participations was detected by qRT-PCR and its correlations with other biomarkers of T2DM were analyzed. Besides, the expression of miR-320b in HepG2 cells was suppressed by miRNA inhibitors. Then the glucose consumption of HepG2 cells was measured. The target gene of miR-320b was predicted by four bioinformatics tools and intersected these prediction results by Venny method. The T2DM relevant target genes were identified by the GeneCards database. To ensure disease relevance, these T2DM relevant target genes were subsequently intersected with the target genes of miR-320b. Protein-protein analysis (PPI) was used to screening the gene with the most connections in these target genes. Finally, the target gene of miR-320b specific to T2DM was confirmed directly by luciferase reporter assay. The expression of target gene in HepG2 cell culture supernatant and plasma of all participations was detected. <b>Results:</b> Our results showed that the expression level of miR-320b was significantly lower in T2DM patients compared to the healthy controls. It was negatively correlated with fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C), and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), but positively with HOMA-<i>β</i>. The glucose consumption of HepG2 cells in the miR-320b inhibitor group was significantly lower compared to inhibitor-NC and blank control group. We predicted and confirmed that phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) was the direct target gene of miR-320b using Bioinformation tools and luciferase reporter assay. Moreover, the concentration of PTEN was significantly higher in the HepG2 cell culture supernatant and plasma of T2DM patients. <b>Conclusions:</b> Our research demonstrated a negative correlation between miR-320b and FPG, HbA1C, and HOMA-IR, while exhibiting a positive correlation with HOMA-<i>β</i>. Suppressing miR-320b expression would impair glucose consumption of HepG2 cells through PI3K pathway by targeting PTEN. These results suggest that miR-320b may be a potential biomarker for diagnosing T2DM and a promising target for therapeutic intervention.</p>","PeriodicalId":13966,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Endocrinology","volume":"2024 ","pages":"5540062"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11535181/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142582893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The AUCs of 6 IR indexes combination were 0.960 (95% CI, 0.957-0.962; <i>p</i> < 0.001) and 0.962 (95% CI, 0.959-0.964; <i>p</i> < 0.001), with the sensitivities of 91.29% and 90.94%, the specificities of 88.27% and 89.51% in male and female groups, respectively.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The IR index levels are higher in male than female patients. In IR indexes, TyG has the highest AUC in male patients and TyG-WHtR in female patients. The combination of IR indexes improved diagnostic efficiency compared with a single parameter. Moreover, the IR indexes are independently associated with MetS except for TyG-WHtR and TG/HDL-C in female patients. Our findings indicate that the multi-index association of IR indexes may play a potential role in MetS diagnosis, and understanding the sex differences in risk factors for MetS may help doctors properly implement more individualized prevention strategies.</p>","PeriodicalId":13966,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Endocrinology","volume":"2024 ","pages":"3352531"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11458281/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142390399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
