The meta-analysis along with univariate logistic analysis in development cohort have shown that age, fever, diabetes, hypertension, CREA, BUN, CK, LDH, and neutrophil count were significantly associated with disease progression of COVID-19 pneumonia. The model and nomogram derived from development cohort show good performance in both development and validation cohorts. Conclusion The severe COVID-19 pneumonia is associated with various types of risk factors including age, fever, comorbidities, and some laboratory examination indexes. The model integrated with these factors can help to evaluate the disease progression of COVID-19 pneumonia.Adiponectin, an adipose-derived adipokine, possesses a hepatoprotective role in various liver disorders. It has been reported that hypoadiponectinemia can affect with the progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD). Inflammasome activation has been recognized to play a major role during the progression of NAFLD. This research aimed to explore the effect of adiponectin on palmitate (PA)-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation and its potential molecular mechanisms. Male adiponectin-knockout (adiponectin-KO) mice and C57BL/6 (wild-type) mice were fed a high-fat-diet (HFD) for 12 weeks as an in vivo model of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Serum biochemical markers, liver histology and inflammasome-related gene and protein expression were determined. In addition, the hepatocytes isolated from wide type mice were exposed to PA in the absence or presence of adiponectin and/or AMPK inhibitor. The activation of NLRP3 inflammasome was assessed by mRNA and protein expression. Furthermore, ROS producnhibited PA-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation in hepatocytes. Adiponectin analogs or AMPK agonists could serve as a potential novel agent for preventing or delaying
