| 1 | Comparing the Diagnostic Criteria of MAFLD and NAFLD in the Chinese Population:A Population-based Prospective Cohort Study显示文摘Background and Aims:Metabolic dysfunction-associ-ated fatty liver disease(MAFLD)is a new concept,pro-posed in 2020;however,its applicability in Asia populations has yet to be evaluated.Therefore,we aimed to compare the difference in epidemiological and clinical characteris-tics between MAFLD and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)among Asian populations.Methods:Based on the Jinchang cohort,30,633 participants were collected.The prevalence and incidence of MAFLD and NAFLD were used to analyze the epidemic characteristics and its overlapping effects.In addition,the corresponding clinical character-istics of the two diagnostic criteria populations were com-pared.Results:The prevalence rates of MAFLD and NAFLD were 21.03%and 18.83%,respectively.After an average 2.28-year follow-up,the incidence densities of MAFLD and NAFLD were 41.58 per 1,000 person-years and 37.69 per 1,000 person-years,respectively.With the increase of baseline age,body mass index(BMI),and waist circumfer-ence(WC)levels,the prevalence and incidence of MAFLD and NAFLD were on the rise(all ptrend<0.05).Among the total patients diagnosed at baseline or follow-up,most pa-tients had both MAFLD and NAFLD,accounting for 78.84%and 82.88%,respectively.Compared with NAFLD,MAFLD patients had greater proportions of males and metabolic diseases(diabetes,dyslipidemia),and had higher BMI,WC,liver enzymes,blood glucose,and lipid levels in the base-line diagnosis patients(p<0.05).Additionally,lean MAFLD patients had higher metabolic disorders than lean NAFLD patients(p<0.05).Conclusions:Compared with NAFLD,the newly proposed definition of MAFLD is more practical and accurate,and it can help identify more fatty liver pa-tients with high-risk diseases. | Cheng Yu Minzhen Wang Shan Zheng Miao Xia Hongyan Yang Desheng Zhang Chun Yin Ning Cheng Yana Bai | 2022 | Journal of Clinical and Translational Hepatology2022，10，1： | 7 |
| 2 | The first chromosome-level Fallopia multiflora genome assembly provides insights into stilbene biosynthesis显示文摘Fallopia multiflora(Thunb.)Harald,a vine belonging to the Polygonaceae family,is used in traditional medicine.The stilbenes contained in it have significant pharmacological activities in anti-oxidation and anti-aging.This study describes the assembly of the F.multiflora genome and presents its chromosome-level genome sequence containing 1.46 gigabases of data(with a contig N50 of 1.97 megabases),1.44 gigabases of which was assigned to 11 pseudochromosomes.Comparative genomics confirmed that F.multiflora shared a whole-genome duplication event with Tartary buckwheat and then underwent different transposon evolution after separation.Combining genomics,transcriptomics,and metabolomics data to map a network of associated genes and metabolites,we identified two FmRS genes responsible for the catalysis of one molecule of p-coumaroyl-CoA and three molecules of malonyl-CoA to resveratrol in F.multiflora.These findings not only serve as the basis for revealing the stilbene biosynthetic pathway but will also contribute to the development of tools for increasing the production of bioactive stilbenes through molecular breeding in plants or metabolic engineering in microbes.Moreover,the reference genome of F.multiflora is a useful addition to the genomes of the Polygonaceae family. | Yujiao Zhao Zhengyang Yang Zhongren Zhang Minzhen Yin Shanshan Chu Zhenzhen Tong Yuejian Qin Liangping Zha Qingying Fang Yuan Yuan Luqi Huang Huasheng Peng | 2023 | Horticulture Research2023，10，5： | 0 |
