Article Abstract
Background: Few studies have examined the relationships between the prevalence of microalbuminuria and the metabolic risk factors in the general population of China. We performed a population based study to investigate the prevalence of microalbuminuria and its relationships with the components of the metabolic syndrome in Hangzhou, China.
Methods: The subjects of this cross-sectional study were the individuals from 19 to 87 y. The metabolic syndrome was defined based on the criteria of the Chinese Diabetes Society (CDS). Microalbuminuria was defined as a urine albumin-creatinine ratio of 30 to 300 mg/g.
Results: A total of 2985 subjects (average age of 44 y) were analyzed. Among them, the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome and microalbuminuria was 12.6% and 8.8%, respectively. Microalbuminuria prevalence rate was significantly higher in the population >60 y than <60 y. The prevalence of MAU in the group with metabolic abnormalities was significantly higher than the control group, and the prevalence rate of MAU in the metabolic syndrome group reached up to 20.3%. There was a significantly positive correlation between the prevalence of microalbuminuria and the corresponding components of the metabolic syndrome (P<0.001).
Conclusions: Microalbuminuria was highly prevalent in the middle-aged and elderly Chinese population in the city of Hangzhou. There is an increasing likelihood of having microalbuminuria if subjects have the metabolic syndrome. Early screening strategies for prevention and treatment of MAU are strongly suggested, especially in the population >60 y and the ones with metabolic abnormalities.

LONP1 encodes a mitochondrial protease essential for protein quality control and metabolism. Variants in LONP1 are associated with a diverse and expanding spectrum of disorders, including Cerebral, Ocular, Dental, Auricular, and Skeletal anomalies syndrome (CODAS), congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD), with some individuals exhibiting features of mitochondrial encephalopathy. We report 16 novel LONP1 variants identified in 16 individuals (11 with NDD, 5 with CDH), further expanding the clinical spectrum.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most common chronic liver disease worldwide, with a reach extending beyond the liver to include other metabolic syndrome-related disorders. Cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus are recognised non-communicable disorders and often downstream complications of MASLD and share similar risk factors. However, MASLD has not been afforded parity alongside other cardiometabolic non-communicable disorders, including the cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome.

Introduction And Aims: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic disease (MASLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease in children and adolescents. The development of MASLD is associated with dietary habits, and dietary intake characteristics are a relevant risk factor. The aim of the present study was to analyze dietary intake characteristics in children and adolescents and study how diet varies in subjects with and without MASLD.

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) and bullous pemphigoid (BP) are both autoimmune diseases characterised by eosinophilic involvement. Coexistence of the two diseases is rare, and confirmatory immunological analyses for BP are lacking in such cases. Here, we report a male in his 80s diagnosed with EGPA 5 years previously who developed numbness and tense blisters but showed no peripheral eosinophilia.

Fahr's syndrome is a rare neurological condition marked by unusual calcifications in the basal ganglia and other brain regions, often resulting from metabolic disorders, such as hypoparathyroidism. Secondary hypoparathyroidism, a frequent complication of total thyroidectomy, can lead to Fahr's syndrome, manifesting as movement disorders, seizures, psychiatric symptoms and indications of calcium deficiency. This case report discusses a woman in her mid-30s who developed Fahr's syndrome due to secondary hypoparathyroidism after total thyroidectomy.
