IntroductionHypertriglyceridemia is the most prevalent dyslipidemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, research about fibrate treatment in CKD patients is limited, and assessing its benefits becomes challenging due to the frequent concurrent use of statins. Thus, this study is aimed to investigate the role of fibrate in CKD stage 3 patients with hypertriglyceridemia who did not receive other lipid-lowering agents.MethodsThis study enrolled patients newly diagnosed CKD3 with LDL-C&lt;100mg/dL and had never received statin or other lipid-lowering agents from Chang Gung Research Database. The participants were categorized into 2 groups based on the use of fibrate: fibrate group and non-fibrate group (triglyceride &gt;200mg/dL but not receiving fibrate treatment). The inverse probability of treatment weighting was performed to balance baseline characteristics.ResultsCompared with the non-fibrate group (n=2020), the fibrate group (n=705) exhibited significantly lower risks of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) (10.4% vs. 12.8%, hazard ratios [HRs]: 0.69, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.50 to 0.95), AMI (2.3% vs. 3.9%, HR: 0.52, 95% CI: 0.37 to 0.73), and ischemic stroke (6.3% vs. 8.0%, HR: 0.67, 95% CI: 0.52 to 0.85). The risk of all-cause mortality (5.1% vs. 4.5%, HR: 1.09, 95% CI: 0.67 to 1.79) and death from CV (2.8% vs. 2.3%, HR: 1.07, 95% CI: 0.29 to 2.33) did not significantly differ between the 2 groups.ConclusionThis study suggests that, in moderate CKD patients with hypertriglyceridemia but LDL-C &lt; 100mg/dL who did not take other lipid-lowering agents, fibrates may be beneficial in reducing cardiovascular events.

Published: February 2024

With the rise of electric vehicles and fast charging technology, electric vehicle load forecasting has become a concern for electric vehicle charging station planners and operators. Due to the non-stationary nature of traffic flow and the instability of the charging process, it is difficult to accurately predict the charging load of electric vehicles, especially in sudden major events. In this article, We proposes a high-precision EV charging load forecasting model based on mRMR and IPSO-LSTM, which can quickly respond to the epidemic (or similar emergencies). Firstly, the missing data in the original EV charging load data are supplemented, and the abnormal data are corrected. Based on this, a factor set is established, which included five epidemic factors, including new confirmed cases, the number of moderate risk areas, the number of high risk areas, epidemic situation and epidemic prevention policies of the city, and other factors such as temperature. Secondly, the processed load data and other data in the influencing factor set are normalized, and the typical characteristic curve is established for personalized processing of the relevant data of epidemic factors, so as to improve the sensitivity of load response to epidemic changes and the ability to capture special data (peak and valley values and turning points of load). Then the maximum relevant minimum redundancy (mRMR) is used to select the optimal feature set from the set of influencing factors. Then, the processed load data and its corresponding optimal selection are input into the IPSO-LSTM model to obtain the final prediction result. Finally, taking the relevant data of EV charging load in a city in China from November 2021 to April 2022 (the city experienced two local epidemics in December 2021 and March 2022 respectively) as an example, the model is evaluated and compared with other models under the forecast period of 1 h. Meanwhile, the performance of the model under different foresight periods (2 h, 4 h, 6 h) is compared and analyzed. The results show that the model has good stability and representativeness, and can be used for EV charging load prediction under the COVID-19 pandemic.

IntroductionPregnant women and their offspring are particularly vulnerable to food insecurity and its adverse effects during critical periods of fetal development. Racially/ethnically minoritized women in the United States (US) who are pregnant are additionally burdened by food insecurity, which may exacerbate cardiovascular health (CVH) disparities. Despite heightened social vulnerability, few studies have employed an intersectional framework, including race and gender, to assess the food insecurity and CVH relationship.MethodsWe used 2012–2018 and 2020 National Health Interview Survey data among US pregnant women aged 18–49 years old (N = 1,999) to assess the prevalence of food insecurity status by race/ethnicity and to investigate household food security status in relation to ideal CVH, using a modified ideal CVH (mICVH) metric. We categorized food security status as “very low/low”, “marginal”, or “high”. To assess mICVH, a summary score of 7 clinical characteristics and health behaviors was dichotomized as yes [(7)] vs. no [&lt;7]. Prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of associations between food security status and mICVH were estimated using Poisson regression with robust variance. Models were adjusted for age, household income, educational attainment, geographic region, marital status, alcohol consumption, survey year, and race/ethnicity (in overall model).ResultsThe mean age ± standard error was 29.0 ± 0.2 years. Among pregnant women, 12.7% reported “very low/low”, 10.6% reported “marginal”, and 76.7% reported “high” food security. “Very low/low” food security prevalence was higher among NH-Black (16.2%) and Hispanic/Latina (15.2%) pregnant women compared to NH-White (10.3%) and NH-Asian (3.2%) pregnant women. The mICVH prevalence was 11.6% overall and 14.5% for NH-White, 4.1% for NH-Black, 5.0% for Hispanic/Latina, and 26.7% for NH-Asian pregnant women. Among all pregnant women, “very low/low” and “marginal” vs. “high” food security status was associated with a lower prevalence of mICVH {[PRvery low/low = 0.26 (95% CI: 0.08–0.75)]; [PRmarginal = 0.47 (95% CI: 0.23 −0.96)]}.ConclusionHousehold food insecurity was higher among pregnant women in minoritized racial/ethnic groups and was associated with lower mICVH prevalence. Given the higher burden of food insecurity among minoritized racial/ethnic groups, food security may be an important intervention target to help address disparities in poor CVH among pregnant women.

BackgroundThe world health organization (WHO) introduced the mass drug administration (MDA) strategy in order to reduce the prevalence of soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) and Schistosoma mansoni in endemic areas. However, this strategy is not implemented in adult population in Togo. Thus, the question arose if the present MDA strategy contributes to the reduction of transmission rates. The present study aimed to monitor the prevalence of STHs and S. mansoni among adult’s, between 2017 and 2022, in the central region of Togo.MethodsTwo cross-sectional studies were conducted in six villages in the central region of Togo in 2017 and 2022. Stool samples were collected from adults over the age of 18 years. To assess STHs and S. mansoni infections, real-time multiplex qPCR and Kato-Katz techniques were performed. Data were analysed using SPSS software version 21 and GraphPad PRISM version 9.2.0. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.ResultsA total of 210 and 289 individuals were recruited in 2017 and 2022, respectively. We detected significant increase in the prevalence of STHs and S. mansoni from 7.61% to 24.56% (p=0.0008) and from 27.62% to 46.36% (p=0.0014) by Kato-Katz and RT-qPCR, respectively. The prevalence of Ancylostoma duodenale infection was the highest with an increase from 7.14% to 23.53% by Kato-Katz and 9.09% to 40.0% by RT-qPCR.ConclusionThe prevalence of STHs and S. mansoni increased in the adult population in the central region of Togo from 2017 to 2022, despite the implementation of MDA in school-aged children. Hence, there is an urgent need to include adult individuals and adapt the MDA programme in the central region of Togo.

BackgroundEnterococci are becoming clinically more important especially among immunocompromised patients. Of concern are vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE) which have both intrinsic and acquired forms of resistance. This work aimed to determine the antimicrobial resistance patterns of Enterococcus spp. and characterize VRE isolate obtained from HIV-infected patient using whole genome sequencing (WGS).Methods:Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was done on 57 enterococci isolates by both the disk diffusion method and Epsilometer test (E-Test). WGS was performed on VRE isolate determined by E-test.ResultsOut of the 57 enterococci isolates; 58% (33/57) were E. faecalis, 39% (22/57) E. faecium and 4% (2/57) were E. gallinarum. The highest antimicrobial resistance was observed in E. faecalis isolates. The most prevalent antimicrobial resistance was observed towards quinupristin-dalfopristin (56%, 32/57), followed by ciprofloxacin (28%), tigecycline (18%), daptomycin (16%), chloramphenicol (14%), ampicillin and teicoplanin (2%). Multidrug resistance (MDR) was detected in 11% (6/57) of the isolates. Vancomycin resistance and high-level gentamycin resistance (HLGR) were observed in one E. faecium and one E. faecalis isolates respectively. The VRE was typed as ST80, carried vanA and other resistance genes for aminoglycosides, tetracyclines, quinolones and ampicillin. Furthermore, the isolate had chromosomal mutations responsible for quinolone (gyrA (p.S83I) and parC (p.S80I) and ampicillin (pbp5) resistance.ConclusionsThe detection of VRE, HLGR and MDR in the study settings underscores the sustained surveillance of VRE in high-risk groups and institution of infection control measures for prompt identification and isolation of carriers to prevent the spread of VRE in the community and hospital settings.

Published: February 2024

IntroductionCoral reefs are one of the most productive yet vulnerable ecosystems on Earth. An important step in understanding the functioning of coral communities is studying the environmental impact on the state of reefs. The present study aimed to assess the impacts of the water temperature, precipitation, wave action, and population density on the seasonal bleaching, partial and complete mortality of shallow-water branching corals of Pocillopora verrucosa species complex. Materials and methodsThe present study was conducted at the Dam Bay research station (Nha Trang Bay) from 26 April 2020 to 2 April 2021. The environmental data was collected from the Dam Bay weather station and using a temperature logger planted on the nursery, coral bleaching and mortality were assessed visually using photos taken underwater. ResultsThroughout the study, the percentage of bleached coral colonies varied from 1 to 41.5% with two peaks, in autumn (October) and spring (April). Rates of the development of partial mortality varied from 0 to 10%, with a pronounced peak in December. At the end of the experiment, the percentage of coral colonies suffering from partial mortality reached 47%. Only 4,5% of experimental colonies died to the end of the study. Analysis revealed that water temperature and partial mortality are the drivers of bleaching, while wave action, temperature and bleaching are the factors with a significant impact on partial mortality.DiscussionThus, both bleaching and patrial mortality are interlinked and the effect of partial mortality on bleaching is stronger than the opposite. Both phenomena have pronounced seasonal variation, but their maximum manifestation does not coincide in time allowing corals to avoid their synergetic effect. Moreover, it was found that the impact of individual stress on mortality prevailed over the impact of seasonal bleaching and partial mortality events. The main cause of coral death was the development of algal fouling at the sites of colony lesions, which gradually spread over the entire surface of the colony.

Published: February 2024

IntroductionContinuous cropping affected the stability of soil enzyme activity and the structural characteristics of microbial community. Owing to challenges in the study of complex rhizosphere microbial communities, the composition and function of these microbial communities in farmland ecosystems remain elusive. Here, we studied the microbial communities of the rhizosphere of wine grapes with different years of continuous cropping and investigated their relationships with soil enzyme activity.MethodsMetagenomic sequencing was conducted on the rhizosphere soils from one uncultivated wasteland and four vineyards with varying durations of continuous cropping.ResultsThe predominant microbial were bacteria (98.39%), followed by archaea (1.15%) and eukaryotes (0.45%). Continuous cropping caused a significant increase in the relative abundance of Rhizobiales and Micrococcales but a marked decrease in Solirubrobacterales. At the genus level, 75, 88, 65, 132, and 128 microbial genera were unique to uncultivated wasteland, 5, 10, 15, and 20 years of continuous cropping, respectively. The relative abundance of genes with signal transduction function was the highest. The activity of all enzymes measured in this study peaked at 5 years of continuous cropping, and then decreased with 10 to 15 year of continuous cropping, but increased at 20 years again. In addition, soil enzyme activity, especially of alkaline phosphatase was significantly correlated with the diversity of the dominant microorganisms at the genus level. Moreover, the coupled enzyme activities had a greater impact on the diversity of the microbial community than that of individual enzymes.ConclusionOur findings reveal the composition and function of the soil microbial communities and enzymes activity in response to changes in cropping years, which has important implications for overcoming continuous cropping obstacles and optimizing land use.

BackgroundUnderstanding the sensitivity and utility of clinical assessments across different HD stages is important for study/trial endpoint selection and clinical assessment development. The Integrated HD Progression Model (IHDPM) characterizes the complex symptom progression of HD and separates the disease into nine ordered disease states.ObjectiveTo generate a temporal map of discriminatory clinical measures across the IHDPM states.MethodsWe applied the IHDPM to all HD individuals in an integrated longitudinal HD dataset derived from four observational studies, obtaining disease state assignment for each study visit. Using large-scale screening, we estimated Cohen’s effect sizes to rank the discriminative power of 2,472 clinical measures for separating observations in disease state pairs. Individual trajectories through IHDPM states were examined. Discriminative analyses were limited to individuals with observations in both states of the pairs compared (N = 3,790).ResultsDiscriminative clinical measures were heterogeneous across the HD life course. UHDRS items were frequently identified as the best state pair discriminators, with UHDRS Motor items – most notably TMS – showing the highest discriminatory power between the early-disease states and early post-transition period states. UHDRS functional items emerged as strong discriminators from the transition period and on. Cognitive assessments showed good discriminative power between all state pairs examined, excepting state 1 vs. 2. Several non-UHDRS assessments were also flagged as excellent state discriminators for specific disease phases (e.g., SF-12). For certain state pairs, single assessment items other than total/summary scores were highlighted as having excellent discriminative power.ConclusionBy providing ranked quantitative scores indicating discriminatory ability of thousands of clinical measures between specific pairs of IHDPM states, our results will aid clinical trial designers select the most effective outcome measures tailored to their study cohort. Our observations may also assist in the development of end points targeting specific phases in the disease life course, through providing specific conceptual foci.

Published: February 2024

BackgroundExercise preference in stroke survivors is related to their adherence to long-term rehabilitation regimen and functional recovery. Although explored recently, the term exercise preference still lacks a clear definition.ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to conceptualize exercise preference in stroke survivors.MethodsThe Walker and Avant method was applied as a framework for the conceptual analysis of exercise preference. Data from 34 publications were collected using seven databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL, CNKI, Wanfang Data, and CBM) and applied in the analysis. The search period was from the inception of the database to April 30, 2023.ResultsExercise preference in stroke survivors was defined according to four attributes: priority of choice, behavioral tendency, affective priming, and patience in adherence. The common antecedents of the concept of exercise preference in stroke survivors were classified into patient-related, therapy-related, and environmental-related categories and the consequences were classified into three categories: patient-related, rehabilitation provider–related, and rehabilitation service system–related.ConclusionExercise preference in stroke survivors refers to the patient’s choice, tendency, affective response, and attitude toward engagement in the recommended rehabilitation regimen. It is beneficial for understanding the essential attributes of exercise preference in stroke survivors by clarifying the concept. In addition, it will facilitate the development of instruments for assessing exercise preference in stroke survivors and the construction of theory-based intervention programs that can improve adherence to exercise rehabilitation.
