Authors: Pu Yongbin , Jian Yang , Huang Wenzhe , Yang Zhoujian 
Published: June 2024

IntroductionThe chest wall can exhibit a wide range of abnormalities, from pectus carinatum (PC), which is a protrusion defect, to pectus excavatum (PE), a depression defect. The meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the prevalence and incidence of chest wall deformities (CWDs) in children below 18.Material and methodsThe databases of Cochrane Library, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, were searched until March 23, 2024, with an age limitation. The CMA version 3.0 software was used to calculate the effect sizes, presenting the event rate (ER). A subgroup analysis was conducted based on continents.ResultsOut of 1,510 initial records, 34 articles were entered into the analysis. The pooled ER of PE, PC, pectus deformities (PDs), and rib anomaly is 0.5%, 0.6%, 1.2%, and 0.05%, respectively. The pooled ER is 11.4% for the Marfan's syndrome incidence in PDs, 19.7% for the mitral valve prolapse incidence in PDs, 6.2% for the incidence of CWD in cancers, 2.6% for the incidence of PDs in congenital heart disease, 16% for the incidence of scoliosis in PE, 11.1% for the incidence of cardiac anomalies in PDs, 13.4% for the incidence of abnormal electrocardiogram in PDs, 12.6% for the incidence of aortic root dilation in PDs, 6.3% for the tricuspid valve prolapse incidence in PDs, and 2% for the congenital heart disease incidence in PE.ConclusionsThe higher incidence of certain conditions in individuals with PDs underscores the importance of regular monitoring and comprehensive care for these patients.

IntroductionAngiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) is a hepatokine implicated in fat metabolism regulation. Its genetic inactivation has been associated with improved glucose homeostasis, while elevated plasma ANGPTL4 levels are observed in diabetic and obese individuals. However, the potential link between ANGPTL4 and diabetes- or obesity-related complications remains uncertain. This study aimed to explore whether plasma ANGPTL4 levels could serve as predictors of cancer mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause mortality in a community-based cohort.Material and methodsA community-based cohort study was conducted, where fasting plasma ANGPTL4 concentrations were measured at baseline, and vital status was ascertained through linkage with the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan.ResultsDuring a 10.46-year follow-up period, 29 (2.49%) of the 1163 participants died. Subjects within the highest tertile of plasma ANGPTL4 levels exhibited the lowest survival rate. In unadjusted models, plasma ANGPTL4 significantly predicted all-cause mortality, cancer mortality, and cardiovascular or cancer-related mortality. Upon adjustment for confounders including age, sex, smoking, BMI, hypertension, DM, and renal function, each standard deviation increase in plasma ANGPTL4 was associated with HRs of 1.35 (95% CI 1.01-1.80, p<0.05) for all-cause mortality, 1.41 (95% CI 0.94-2.10, p=0.094) for cancer mortality, and 1.40 (95% CI 1.02-1.94, p<0.05) for cardiovascular or cancer-related mortality. Additionally, plasma ANGPTL4 contributed more significantly to predicting cardiovascular or cancer-related mortality and all-cause mortality compared to other predictors, such as sex, smoking, BMI, history of hypertension, history of diabetes, and eGFR.ConclusionsPlasma ANGPTL4 emerges as a promising biomarker capable of predicting 10-year mortality and enhancing risk prediction beyond established risk factors.

Protection without poison: Why tropical ozone maximizes in the interior of the atmosphere
Authors: Match Aaron , Gerber Edwin P. , Fueglistaler Stephan 
Published: June 2024

Abstract. Ozone is the most significant radiatively-active gas whose number density maximizes in the interior of the atmosphere, at an altitude of around 26 km in the tropics. Textbook explanations for this interior maximum begin by invoking the Chapman Cycle, a photochemical system that reproduces the altitude of maximum ozone despite omitting leading-order sinks from catalytic cycles and transport. Yet, these textbook explanations subsequently fragment into (1) a source-controlled paradigm, explaining ozone to maximize where its production rate maximizes, between abundant photons aloft and abundant O2 below, and (2) a source/sink competition paradigm explaining ozone to maximize due to competition between the photolytic source and photolytic sink. Augmenting the Chapman Cycle with destruction by generalized catalytic cycles and transport, we demonstrate that these paradigms correspond to different regimes of ozone destruction, distinguished by whether photolysis of O3 contributes at leading order to the sink. The tropical stratosphere is estimated to occupy a photolytic sink regime above 26 km and a non-photolytic sink regime below. Paradoxically, each paradigm predicts ozone to maximize outside its altitude range of applicability, motivating a new explanation, the regime transition paradigm: the interior maximum of ozone occurs at the transition from the photolytic sink regime aloft to the non-photolytic sink regime below. An explicit solution is derived for ozone under gray radiation, which produces an interior maximum at an endogenously-determined regime transition, and elucidates the ozone response to top-of-atmosphere UV perturbations.

Published: June 2024

Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la vulnerabilidad de China y México frente al cambio climático desde la justicia climática. Se propone como hipótesis de que ambos Estados llevan a cabo medidas de prevención y adaptación en sus respectivos territorios, pero la efectividad de los resultados entre uno y otro país no dependen exclusivamente del factor económico, pues el interés político de los Estados también es importante. Después del análisis, se concluye que aunque ambos países poseen alta vulnerabilidad a desastres naturales causados por el cambio climático, China posee una vulnerabilidad menor debido a su capacidad de respuesta, la cual se basa en una serie de políticas de adaptación bien estructuradas y presupuesto asignado para ello, mientras que México ha disminuido sus fondos de prevención, adaptación y respuesta a desastres naturales, y carece de capacidad de respuesta, pues no quedan claras las estrategias de prevención y resiliencia climática.
