The serious impact of low back pain (LBP) on human health and quality of life highlights the critical role of thoracolumbar fasciitis (TLF) detection in preventing and treating LBP effectively. Fingerprint detection finds a potent ally in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), whose spectral data is exceptionally rich. Employing a three-dimensional substrate, this work developed a novel SERS strategy for early TLF diagnosis, focusing on fingerprint analysis. A rat model of TLF was established, and its immunological and behavioral characteristics were explored. Isolated fascial tissue underwent SERS testing, yielding vibrational fingerprints that were employed to study alterations in material properties associated with fasciitis. Principal component analysis (PCA) enabled unambiguous identification and tracking of component alterations in SERS spectra acquired during TLF. To gain a more comprehensive grasp of TLF's development and occurrence, we merged clinical samples and investigated the expression levels of inflammatory factors, particularly CRP and SAA, within TLF. Through SERS analysis, we confirmed that the presence of tryptophan, phenylalanine, and glycogen unambiguously identifies TLF, allowing for non-invasive characterization and diagnosis of this condition during episodes of lower back pain. We've introduced a new instrument for enhanced research into the pathophysiology and management of fasciitis. To quantify glucose metabolism and individual variations, the hemoglobin glycation index (HGI) was developed, demonstrating its robustness in measuring individual HbA1c bias. Our investigation, using a large multicenter cohort study in China, focused on the association between various HGIs and the risk of 5-year major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Using HGI quantiles (5th, >5th and 333rd, >333rd and 667th, >667th and 95th, and >95th percentile), the 9791 subjects were grouped into five subgroups, labeled Q1 through Q5. A multivariate logistic regression model incorporating restricted cubic splines was developed to determine the link between the HGI and the 5-year risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). The interplay between the HGI and covariates was analyzed through subgroup analyses to ascertain differences across the five subgroups. Within a five-year period in the nationwide cohort, 687% of individuals experienced MACE, amounting to 673 cases out of a total of 9791. The restricted cubic spline analysis, after controlling for cardiovascular risk factors, showed a U-shaped correlation between HGI values and the risk of MACE (χ² = 295, p < 0.0001). Subjects exhibiting HGI values of -0.75 or greater than 0.82, after accounting for potentially confounding factors, had odds ratios (OR) for MACE of 1471 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1027-2069) and 2222 (95% CI, 1641-3026), respectively, when contrasted with subjects whose HGI values fell within the range of greater than -0.75 and less than or equal to -0.20. After adjusting for confounders, patients with non-coronary heart disease and either HGI scores of -0.75 (OR 1.540, CI 1.039-2.234, P=0.0027) or greater than 0.82 (OR 2.022, CI 1.392-2.890, P<0.0001) exhibited a statistically significantly higher risk of experiencing a major adverse cardiac event (MACE) compared to those with HGI scores within the respective ranges. A U-shaped relationship was observed between HGI values and the probability of experiencing 5-year major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Both high and low HGIs demonstrated a correlation with a heightened chance of experiencing MACE. Thus, the HGI could serve as a predictor for the 5-year probability of MACE. Our study identified a U-shaped association linking HGI values to the risk of 5-year MACE. An elevated risk of MACE was observed for HGIs, both low and high. In conclusion, the HGI can predict the likelihood of major adverse cardiovascular events occurring over a five-year s
