Childhood overweight and obesity and back pain risk: a cohort study of 466 997 children by Daniel Prieto-Alhambra, Andrew J Carr, Antony J Palmer, Talita Duarte-Salles, Jose Luis Poveda, Daniel Martinez-Laguna, Carlen Reyes, Jeroen de Bont, Alan Silman

“…Adjusted HR was 1.43 (95%CI 1.33 to 1.55) for back pain in children from the most deprived socioeconomic groups compared with the least deprived socioeconomic groups.Conclusions Maintaining a healthy weight from an early age may reduce the prevalence of back pain in both children and adults. Overweight female children from deprived socioeconomic groups are at greatest risk of back pain and represent a target population for intervention.…”

Loss of Type 2 Bone Morphogenetic Protein Receptor Activates NOD‐Like Receptor Family Protein 3/Gasdermin E‐Mediated Pyroptosis in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension by Xiao‐ting Tian, Zhou‐yang‐fan Peng, Yu‐si Wu, Yuan‐yuan Cao, Xue‐chun Li, Ying Li, Si‐Yuan Tang, Alex F. Chen, Xiao‐hui Li

“…In addition, the effects of BMPR2 deficiency and restoration of BMPR2 by BMP9 (bone morphogenetic protein 9) or FK506 on pyroptosis were explored both in animal and cell models. Knockout of NLRP3 or short hairpin RNA interference of GSDME in animal models can alleviate the development of pyroptosis, accompanied with improved endothelial integrity, vascular remodeling, and right ventricular systolic pressure. …”
