Article Abstract
Background: Membranous nephropathy (MN) has not yet been fully elucidated regarding its relationship with Type I and II Diabetes. This study aims to evaluate the causal effect of multiple types of diabetes and MN by summarizing the evidence from the Mendelian randomization (MR) study.
Methods: The statistical data for MN was obtained from a GWAS study encompassing 7979 individuals. Regarding diabetes, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, and HbA1C data, we accessed the UK-Biobank, within family GWAS consortium, MAGIC, FinnGen database, MRC-IEU, and Neale Lab, which provided sample sizes ranging from 17,724 to 298,957. As a primary method in this MR analysis, we employed the Inverse Variance Weighted (IVW), Weighted Median, Weighted mode, MR-Egger, Mendelian randomization pleiotropy residual sum, and outlier (MR-PRESSO) and Leave-one-out sensitivity test. Reverse MR analysis was utilized to investigate whether MN affects Diabetes. Meta-analysis was applied to combine study-specific estimates.
Results: It has been determined that type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes, type 1 diabetes with or without complications, maternal diabetes, and insulin use pose a risk to MN. Based on the genetic prediction, fasting insulin, fasting blood glucose, and HbA1c levels were not associated with the risk of MN. No heterogeneity, horizontal pleiotropy, or reverse causal relationships were found. The meta-analysis results further validated the accuracy.
Conclusions: The MR analysis revealed the association between MN and various subtypes of diabetes. This study has provided a deeper understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms connecting MN and diabetes.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) research is hindered by limited comprehensive analyses of plasma proteome across disease subtypes. Here, we systematically investigated the associations between plasma proteins and cardiovascular outcomes in 53,026 UK Biobank participants over a 14-year follow-up. Association analyses identified 3,089 significant associations involving 892 unique protein analytes across 13 CVD outcomes.

Background And Aims: Several observational studies have reported inconsistent associations between dyslipidaemia, stains use and atopic dermatitis (AD). Nevertheless, the available data on the effects of -C-lowering as well as TG-lowering drugs remain inconclusive and limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the causal association of lipid traits and long-term use of lipid-lowering drugs on AD risk.

Background: Sepsis is characterized by profound immune and metabolic perturbations, with glycolysis serving as a pivotal modulator of immune responses. However, the molecular mechanisms linking glycolytic reprogramming to immune dysfunction remain poorly defined.
Methods: Transcriptomic profiles of sepsis were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus.

Background: Increasing evidence suggests a potential role of the gut microbiota in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the relationship between the gut microbiome (GM) and PD dementia (PDD) remains debated, with their causal effects and underlying mechanisms not yet fully understood.
Methods: Utilizing data from large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWASs), this study applied bidirectional and mediating Mendelian randomization (MR) to investigate the causal relationship and underlying mechanisms between the GM and PDD.
