Background
From the viewpoint of human physiological adaptability, we previously investigated seasonal variation in the amount of unabsorbed dietary carbohydrates from the intestine after breakfast in Japanese, Polish and Thai participants. In this investigation we found that there were significant seasonal variations in the amount of unabsorbed dietary carbohydrates in Japanese and Polish participants, while we could not find significant seasonal variation in Thai participants. These facts prompted us to examine seasonal variations in the respiratory quotient after an overnight fast (an indicator of the ratio of carbohydrate and fat oxidized after the last meal) with female university students living in Osaka (Japan), Poznan (Poland) and Chiang Mai (Thailand).Methods
We enrolled 30, 33 and 32 paid participants in Japan, Poland and Thailand, respectively, and measurements were taken over the course of one full year. Fasting respiratory quotient was measured with the participants in their postabsorptive state (after 12 hours or more fasting before respiratory quotient measurement). Respiratory quotient measurements were carried out by means of indirect calorimetry using the mixing chamber method. The percent body fat was measured using an electric bioelectrical impedance analysis scale. Food intake of the participants in Osaka and Poznan were carried out by the Food Frequency Questionnaire method.Results
There were different seasonal variations in the fasting respiratory quotient values in the three different populations; with a significant seasonal variation in the fasting respiratory quotient values in Japanese participants, while those in Polish and Thai participants were non-significant. We found that there were significant seasonal changes in the percent body fat in the three populations but we could not find any significant correlation between the fasting respiratory quotient values and the percent body fat.Conclusions
There were different seasonal variations in the fasting respiratory quotient values in the three different populations. There were significant seasonal changes in the percent body fat in the three populations but no significant correlation between the fasting respiratory quotient values and the percent body fat. 相似文献2.

ObjectiveData for the association between diabetes and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) susceptibility are conflicting. We aimed to evaluate this association using an analytical cross-sectional study design.MethodsStudy participants were recruited from endocrine clinics of our hospital and belonged to 3 groups: group 1 (type 1 diabetes mellitus [T1DM]), group 2 (type 2 diabetes mellitus [T2DM]), and group 3 (controls). All participants submitted blood samples for SARS-CoV-2 S1/S2 immunoglobulin G antibody test (LIAISON; DiaSorin) and were interviewed for a history of documented infection.ResultsWe evaluated a total of 643 participants (T1DM, 149; T2DM, 160; control, 334; mean age, 37.9 ± 11.5 years). A total of 324 (50.4%) participants were seropositive for SARS-CoV-2. The seropositivity rate was significantly higher in the T1DM (55.7% vs 44.9%, P = .028) and T2DM (56.9% vs 44.9%, P = .013) groups than in the control group. The antibody levels in seropositive participants with T1DM and T2DM were not significantly different from those in seropositive controls. On multivariable analysis, low education status (odds ratio [OR], 1.41 [95% CI, 1.03-1.94]; P = .035), diabetes (OR, 1.68 [95% CI, 1.20-2.34]; P = .002), and overweight/obesity (OR, 1.52 [95% CI, 1.10-2.10]; P = .012) showed a significant association with SARS-CoV-2 seropositivity. The association between diabetes and SARS-CoV-2 seropositivity was found to further increase in participants with coexisting overweight/obesity (adjusted OR, 2.63 [95% CI, 1.54-4.47]; P < .001).ConclusionSARS-CoV-2 seropositivity, assessed before the onset of the national vaccination program, was significantly higher in participants with T1DM and T2DM than in controls. The antibody response did not differ between seropositive participants with and without diabetes. These findings point toward an increased SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility for patients with diabetes, in general, without any differential effect of the diabetes type. 相似文献

The Neuropsychology of Starvation: Set-Shifting and Central Coherence in a Fasted Nonclinical Sample
Objectives
Recent research suggests certain neuropsychological deficits occur in anorexia nervosa (AN). The role of starvation in these deficits remains unclear. Studies of individuals without AN can elucidate our understanding of the effect of short-term starvation on neuropsychological performance.Methods
Using a within-subjects repeated measures design, 60 healthy female participants were tested once after fasting for 18 hours, and once when satiated. Measures included two tasks to measure central coherence and a set-shifting task.Results
Fasting exacerbated set-shifting difficulties on a rule-change task. Fasting was associated with stronger local and impaired global processing, indicating weaker central coherence.Conclusions
Models of AN that propose a central role for set-shifting difficulties or weak central coherence should also consider the impact of short-term fasting on these processes. 相似文献4.

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of early adverse events on overall survival (OS), progression‐free survival (PFS) and objective response within a pooled secondary analysis of participants treated with first‐line vemurafenib or vemurafenib plus cobimetinib in the clinical trials BRIM3 and coBRIM. The study included 583 participants who received vemurafenib monotherapy and 247 who received vemurafenib plus cobimetinib. Adverse events requiring vemurafenib/cobimetinib dose adjustment within the first 28 days of therapy were significantly associated with OS (hazard ratio (HR) [95% CI]: dose reduced/interrupted = 0.79 [0.65–0.96]; drug withdrawn = 1.18 [0.71–1.96]; p = 0.032), PFS (HR [95% CI]: dose reduced/interrupted = 0.82 [0.67–0.99]; drug withdrawn = 1.58 [0.97–2.58]; p = 0.017) and objective response (odds ratio (OR) [95% CI]: dose reduced/interrupted = 1.35 [0.99–1.85]; drug withdrawn = 0.17 [0.06–0.43]; p = <0.001). Arthralgia occurring within the first 28 days of vemurafenib or vemurafenib plus cobimetinib therapy was also significantly associated with favourable OS (p = 0.026), PFS (p = 0.042) and objective response (p = 0.047). 相似文献

This study examined the utility of a family-based model for replicating the results of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of type 2 diabetes (T2D).Methods and results
In a total of 232 members of a large consanguineous Omani Arab pedigree (age: 16–80 years), there were 27 diabetics and 50 prediabetics (17 with impaired fasting glucose and 33 with impaired glucose tolerance). All 232 individuals underwent anthropometric and biochemical investigations and genotyped for 14 known common gene variants of modest effect on T2D risk. Power analysis at a LOD score of 3, gave 80% power to locate a single specific locus that accounts for 52% of the total phenotypic variation. Measured genotype analysis (MGA) was used to determine heritability of various quantitative traits (QTs) which ranged 25–56%. Using MGA, some common gene variants were found to have little (< 5%) but significant impact on the heritability of T2D related QTs [KCNJ11 (rs5219), p = 0.004]; [IGF2BP2 (rs4402960), p = 0.02]; [SLC30A8 (rs13266634), p = 0.05]; [CAPN10 (rs2975760), p = 0.031]; [FTO (rs8050136), p = 0.023]; [FTO (rs9939609), p = 0.018] and [SLC30A8 (rs13266634), p = 0.05]. Sib-TDT analysis showed that some gene variants were significantly associated with T2D risk but didn't reach the level of significance after Bonferroni correction [KCNJ11 (rs5219), p = 0.047] and [CAPN10 (rs41266971), p = 0.035].Conclusion
We have demonstrated that, in principle, a family-based model with minor limitations could be used to replicate some of the results of large GWAS case–control studies. This model could successfully be applied for the future discovery, by deep sequencing, of rare gene variants. 相似文献6.
Association between DNA Methylation in Whole Blood and Measures of Glucose Metabolism: KORA F4 Study

Epigenetic regulation has been postulated to affect glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity and the risk of type 2 diabetes. Therefore, we performed an epigenome-wide association study for measures of glucose metabolism in whole blood samples of the population-based Cooperative Health Research in the Region of Augsburg F4 study using the Illumina HumanMethylation 450 BeadChip. We identified a total of 31 CpG sites where methylation level was associated with measures of glucose metabolism after adjustment for age, sex, smoking, and estimated white blood cell proportions and correction for multiple testing using the Benjamini-Hochberg (B-H) method (four for fasting glucose, seven for fasting insulin, 25 for homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance [HOMA-IR]; B-H-adjusted p-values between 9.2x10-5 and 0.047). In addition, DNA methylation at cg06500161 (annotated to ABCG1) was associated with all the aforementioned phenotypes and 2-hour glucose (B-H-adjusted p-values between 9.2x10-5 and 3.0x10-3). Methylation status of additional three CpG sites showed an association with fasting insulin only after additional adjustment for body mass index (BMI) (B-H-adjusted p-values = 0.047). Overall, effect strengths were reduced by around 30% after additional adjustment for BMI, suggesting that this variable has an influence on the investigated phenotypes. Furthermore, we found significant associations between methylation status of 21 of the aforementioned CpG sites and 2-hour insulin in a subset of samples with seven significant associations persisting after additional adjustment for BMI. In a subset of 533 participants, methylation of the CpG site cg06500161 (ABCG1) was inversely associated with ABCG1 gene expression (B-H-adjusted p-value = 1.5x10-9). Additionally, we observed an enrichment of the top 1,000 CpG sites for diabetes-related canonical pathways using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. In conclusion, our study indicates that DNA methylation and diabetes-related traits are associated and that these associations are partially BMI-dependent. Furthermore, the interaction of ABCG1 with glucose metabolism is modulated by epigenetic processes. 相似文献

BackgroundSalvia Miltiorrhiza Depside Salt (SMDS) was extracted from Salvia miltiorrhiza with high-quality control of active principles. In 2005, China's FDA approved the use of SMDS for stable angina pectoris (SAP), but the evidence of SMDS combined with aspirin remains unclear.PurposeThe aim of this study was to assess the clinical effectiveness and safety of SMDS combined with aspirin in patients with SAP.MethodsA multicenter, pragmatic, three-armed parallel group and an individually randomized controlled superiority trial was designed. Participants aged 35 to 75 years old with SAP were recruited from four "Class Ⅲ Grade A" hospitals in China. Participants who were randomized into the SMDS group were treated with SMDS by intravenous drip. Participants in the control group received aspirin enteric-coated tablets (aspirin). Participants who were randomly assigned to the combination group received SMDS combined with aspirin. All participants received standard care from clinicians, without any restrictions. The primary outcome measure was thromboelastography (TEG). Secondary outcome measures included symptom score of the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ), visual analogue scale (VAS) score of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptoms, platelet aggregation measured by light transmittance aggregometry (LTA), and fasting blood glucose. Effectiveness evaluation data were collected at baseline and ten days after treatment. Researchers followed up with participants for one month after treatment to determine whether adverse events (AEs) or adverse drug reactions (ADRs) such as bleeding tendency occurred. All statistical calculations were carried out with R 3.5.3 statistical analysis software.ResultsA total of 135 participants completed follow-up data on the primary outcome after ten days of treatment. Participants in the SMDS combined aspirin group had the highest improvement rate of sensitivity in AA% [p < 0.001, 95% CI (0.00–0.00)], from 30.6% before treatment to 81.6% after treatment. Participants with drug resistance (AA% < 20%) in the SMDS combined with aspirin group also had the highest sensitivity rate [p < 0.001, 95% CI (0.00–0.00)] after treatment (accounting for 81.0% of the combination group and 60.7% of the sensitive participants). The improvement of TCM symptoms in participants treated with SMDS combined with aspirin was significantly better than that of the aspirin group [MD = 1.71, 95% CI (0.15–3.27), p = 0.032]. There were no significant differences in other indexes (R, TPI, MA, K, CI, α value) of TEG, SAQ, platelet aggregation and fasting blood glucose among the three groups. No bleeding tendency or ADRs occurred in all participants.ConclusionSMDS combined with aspirin is a clinically effective and safe intervention to treat adults aged 35 and older with SAP. This trial shows that SMDS combined with aspirin can significantly improve the sensitivity rate of AA% in TEG and the VAS score of TCM symptoms. Further large samples and high-quality research are needed to determine if certain participants might benefit more from SMDS combined with aspirin. The study protocol was registered in the Clinical Trials USA registry (registration No. NCT02694848). 相似文献

The selective enrichment of phosphorylated peptides prior to reversed-phase separation and mass spectrometric detection significantly improves the analytical results in terms of higher number of detected phosphorylation sites and spectra of higher quality. Metal oxide chromatography (MOC) has been recently described for selective phosphopeptide enrichment (Pinkse et al., 2004 [1]; Larsen et al., 2005 [2]; Kweon and Hakansson, 2006 [3]; Cantin et al., 2007 [4]; Collins et al., 2007 [5]). In the present work we have tested the effect of a modified loading solvent containing a novel acid mix and optimized wash conditions on the efficiency of TiO2-based phosphopeptide enrichment in order to improve our previously published method (Mazanek et al., 2007 [6]). Applied to a test mixture of synthetic and BSA-derived peptides, the new method showed improved selectivity for phosphopeptides, whilst retaining a high recovery rate. Application of the new enrichment method to digested purified protein complexes resulted in the identification of a significantly higher number of phosphopeptides as compared to the previous method. Additionally, we have compared the performance of TiO2 and ZrO2 columns for the isolation and identification of phosphopeptides from purified protein complexes and found that for our test set, both media performed comparably well. In summary, our improved method is highly effective for the enrichment of phosphopeptides from purified protein complexes prior to mass spectrometry, and is suitable for large-scale phosphoproteomic projects that aim to elucidate phosphorylation-dependent cellular processes. 相似文献

Reproductive experiences in females comprise substantial hormonal and experiential changes and can exert long lasting changes in cognitive function, stress physiology, and brain plasticity. The goal of this research was to determine whether prior reproductive experience could alter a prefrontal–cortical dependent form of learning (strategy set shifting) in an operant box. In this study, female Sprague–Dawley rats were mated and mothered once or twice to produce either primiparous or biparous dams, respectively. Age-matched nulliparous controls (reproductively-naïve females with no exposure to pup cues) were also used. Maternal behaviors were also assessed to determine whether these factors would predict cognitive flexibility. For strategy set shifting, rats were trained in a visual-cue discrimination task on the first day and on the following day, were required to switch to a response strategy to obtain a reward. We also investigated a simpler form of behavioral flexibility (reversal learning) in which rats were trained to press a lever on one side of the box the first day, and on the following day, were required to press the opposite lever to obtain a reward. Estrous phase was determined daily after testing. Neither parity nor estrous phase altered total errors or trials to reach criterion in either the set-shifting or reversal-learning tasks, suggesting that PFC-dependent cognitive performance remains largely stable after 1 or 2 reproductive experiences. However, parity and estrous phase interacted to alter the frequency of particular error types, with biparous rats in estrus committing more perseverative but fewer regressive errors during the set-shifting task. This suggests that parity and estrous phase interfere with the ability to disengage from a previously used, but no longer relevant strategy. These data also suggest that parity alters the behavioral sensitivity to ovarian hormones without changing overall performance. 相似文献

Recent studies have identified common genetic variants that are unequivocally associated with central adiposity, BMI, and/or fasting plasma glucose among individuals of European descent. Our objective was to evaluate these associations in a population of Asian-Indians. We examined 16 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from loci previously linked to waist circumference, BMI, or fasting glucose in 1,129 Asian-Indians from New Delhi and Trivandrum. Trained medical staff measured waist circumference, height, and weight. Fasting plasma glucose was measured from collected blood specimens. Genotype-phenotype associations were evaluated using linear regression, with adjustments for age, gender, religion, and study region. For gene-environment interaction tests, total physical activity (PA) during the past 7 days was assessed by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). The T allele at the FTO rs3751812 locus was associated with increased waist circumference (per allele effect of +1.58 cm, P(trend) = 0.0015) after Bonferroni adjustment for multiple testing (P(adj) = 0.04). We also found a nominally statistically significant FTO-PA interaction (P(interaction) = 0.008). Among participants with <81 metabolic equivalent (MET)-h/wk of PA, the rs3751812 variant was associated with increased waist size (+2.68 cm; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.24, 4.12), but not among those with 212+ MET-h/wk (-1.79 cm; 95% CI = -4.17, 0.58). No other variant had statistically significant associations, although statistical power was modest. In conclusion, we confirmed that an FTO variant associated with central adiposity in European populations is associated with central adiposity among Asian-Indians and corroborated prior reports indicating that high PA attenuates FTO-related genetic susceptibility to adiposity. 相似文献

Background
We sought to develop a new equation to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in Chinese elderly population.Methods
A total of 668 Chinese elderly participants, including the development cohort (n = 433), the validation cohort (n = 235) were enrolled. The new equation using the generalized additive model, and age, gender, serum creatinine as predictor variables was developed and the performances was compared with the CKD-EPI equation.Results
In the validation data set, both bias and precision were improved with the new equation, as compared with the CKD-EPI equation (median difference, −1.5 ml/min/1.73 m2 vs. 7.4 ml/min/1.73 m2 for the new equation and the CKD-EPI equation, [P<0.001]; interquartile range [IQR] for the difference, 16.2 ml/min/1.73 m2 vs. 19.0 ml/min/1.73 m2 [P<0.001]), as were accuracies (15% accuracy, 40.4% vs. 30.6% [P = 0.02]; 30% accuracy, 71.1% vs. 47.2%, [P<0.001]; 50% accuracy, 90.2% vs. 75.7%, [P<0.001]), allowing improvement in GFR categorization (GFR category misclassification rate, 37.4% vs. 53.2% [P = <0.001]).Conclusions
A new equation was developed in Chinese elderly population. In the validation data set, the new equation performed better than the original CKD-EPI equation. The new equation needs further external validations. Calibration of the GFR referent standard to a more accurate one should be an useful way to improve the performance of GFR estimating equations. 相似文献12.

High concentrations of nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) are a risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes in Pima Indians. In vitro and in vivo, chronic elevation of NEFA decreases glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. We hypothesized that high fasting plasma NEFA would increase the risk of type 2 diabetes by inducing a worsening of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in Pima Indians. To test this hypothesis, fasting plasma NEFA concentrations, body composition, insulin action (M), acute insulin response (AIR, 25-g IVGTT), and glucose tolerance (75-g OGTT) were measured in 151 Pima Indians [107 normal glucose tolerant (NGT), 44 impaired glucose tolerant (IGT)] at the initial visit. These subjects, participants in ongoing studies of the pathogenesis of obesity and type 2 diabetes, had follow-up measurements of body composition, glucose tolerance, M, and AIR. In NGT individuals, cross-sectionally, high fasting plasma NEFA concentrations at the initial visit were negatively associated with AIR after adjustment for age, sex, percent body fat, and M (P = 0.03). Longitudinally, high fasting plasma NEFA concentrations at the initial visit were not associated with change in AIR. In individuals with IGT, cross-sectionally, high fasting plasma NEFA concentrations at the initial visit were not associated with AIR. Longitudinally, high fasting plasma NEFA concentrations at the initial visit were associated with a decrease in AIR before (P < 0.0001) and after adjustment for sex, age at follow-up, time of follow-up, change in percent body fat and insulin sensitivity, and AIR at the initial visit (P = 0.0006). In conclusion, findings in people with NGT indicate that fasting plasma NEFA concentrations are not a primary etiologic factor for beta-cell failure. However, in subjects who have progressed to a state of IGT, chronically elevated NEFA seem to have a deleterious effect on insulin-secretory capacity. 相似文献

The present study assessed the effect of different fasting times on the in vitro gluconeogenic capacity of Chasmagnathus granulata crabs previously adapted to a high-protein (HP) or carbohydrate-rich (HC) diet using the incorporation of [U-(14)C]l-lactate or [U-(14)C]l-alanine into glucose. We also recorded haemolymphatic glucose and hepatopancreatic glycogen levels. In the HP group, on the third day of fasting there were decreases in the synthesis of glucose from (14)C-alanine and in haemolymph glucose. After 15 days of fasting, haemolymph glucose and hepatopancreatic glycogen levels were maintained by an increase in the conversion of (14)C-alanine into glucose. However, after 21 days of fasting the gluconeogenic capacity was decreased and hepatopancreas glycogen concentration was reduced. In the HC group, hepatopancreatic glycogen was the energy source during the first 6 days of fasting. Gluconeogenesis from (14)C-lactate decreased after 6 days of fasting, remaining low until 21 days of fasting. The conversion of (14)C-alanine into glucose was increased after 15 days fasting and hepatopancreatic glycogen was raised in relation to that present after a 6-day fasting. In both dietary groups the stabilization in the levels of haemolymph glucose after 21 days fasting may result from a reduction in metabolic rate during restricted feeding. 相似文献

BackgroundInsulin resistance predisposes to cardiometabolic disorders, which are commonly comorbid with schizophrenia and are key contributors to the significant excess mortality in schizophrenia. Mechanisms for the comorbidity remain unclear, but observational studies have implicated inflammation in both schizophrenia and cardiometabolic disorders separately. We aimed to examine whether there is genetic evidence that insulin resistance and 7 related cardiometabolic traits may be causally associated with schizophrenia, and whether evidence supports inflammation as a common mechanism for cardiometabolic disorders and schizophrenia.Methods and findingsWe used summary data from genome-wide association studies of mostly European adults from large consortia (Meta-Analyses of Glucose and Insulin-related traits Consortium (MAGIC) featuring up to 108,557 participants; Diabetes Genetics Replication And Meta-analysis (DIAGRAM) featuring up to 435,387 participants; Global Lipids Genetics Consortium (GLGC) featuring up to 173,082 participants; Genetic Investigation of Anthropometric Traits (GIANT) featuring up to 339,224 participants; Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC) featuring up to 105,318 participants; and Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology (CHARGE) consortium featuring up to 204,402 participants). We conducted two-sample uni- and multivariable mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to test whether (i) 10 cardiometabolic traits (fasting insulin, high-density lipoprotein and triglycerides representing an insulin resistance phenotype, and 7 related cardiometabolic traits: low-density lipoprotein, fasting plasma glucose, glycated haemoglobin, leptin, body mass index, glucose tolerance, and type 2 diabetes) could be causally associated with schizophrenia; and (ii) inflammation could be a shared mechanism for these phenotypes. We conducted a detailed set of sensitivity analyses to test the assumptions for a valid MR analysis. We did not find statistically significant evidence in support of a causal relationship between cardiometabolic traits and schizophrenia, or vice versa. However, we report that a genetically predicted inflammation-related insulin resistance phenotype (raised fasting insulin (raised fasting insulin (Wald ratio OR = 2.95, 95% C.I, 1.38–6.34, Holm-Bonferroni corrected p-value (p) = 0.035) and lower high-density lipoprotein (Wald ratio OR = 0.55, 95% C.I., 0.36–0.84; p = 0.035)) was associated with schizophrenia. Evidence for these associations attenuated to the null in multivariable MR analyses after adjusting for C-reactive protein, an archetypal inflammatory marker: (fasting insulin Wald ratio OR = 1.02, 95% C.I, 0.37–2.78, p = 0.975), high-density lipoprotein (Wald ratio OR = 1.00, 95% C.I., 0.85–1.16; p = 0.849), suggesting that the associations could be fully explained by inflammation. One potential limitation of the study is that the full range of gene products from the genetic variants we used as proxies for the exposures is unknown, and so we are unable to comment on potential biological mechanisms of association other than inflammation, which may also be relevant.ConclusionsOur findings support a role for inflammation as a common cause for insulin resistance and schizophrenia, which may at least partly explain why the traits commonly co-occur in clinical practice. Inflammation and immune pathways may represent novel therapeutic targets for the prevention or treatment of schizophrenia and comorbid insulin resistance. Future work is needed to understand how inflammation may contribute to the risk of schizophrenia and insulin resistance.In a Mendelian randomization study, Benjamin Perry and colleagues investigate the genetic evidence supporting relationships between inflammation, insulin resistance, and schizophrenia. 相似文献

Oxygen-derived free radicals (ROS) have been identified to contribute significantly to ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury by initiating chain reactions with polyunsaturated membrane lipids (lipid peroxidation, LPO) resulting in the generation of several aldehydes and ketones. Due to their volatile nature these LPO products can be measured noninvasively in breath. We hypothesized that one of these markers, namely propionaldehyde, will be increased in lung and heart–lung transplant patients where severe oxidative stress due to I/R injury with early graft dysfunction represents one of the major postoperative complications resulting in prolonged ventilation and increased in-hospital morbidity and mortality. Expiratory air measurements for acetone, isoprene, and propionaldehyde were performed in seven patients after lung (n=5) or heart–lung (n=2) transplantation, ventilated patients (n=12), and healthy volunteers (n=17) using online ion-molecule reaction mass spectrometry. Increased concentrations of acetone (transplanted: 3812 [2347–12498]; ventilated: 1255 [276–1959]; healthy: 631 [520–784] ppbv; P<.001) and propionaldehyde (transplanted: 270 [70–424]; ventilated: 82 [41.8–142]; healthy: 1.7 [0.1–11.8] ppbv; P<.001) were found in expiratory air of transplanted and ventilated patients. Propionaldehyde resulting from spontaneous fragmentation of peroxides due to free radical-induced LPO after I/R injury in patients after lung or heart–lung transplantation can be quantified in expired breath. 相似文献

Background
Psychotic experiences are prevalent in community samples and are highly correlated with depressive symptoms. This study aimed to investigate the longitudinal associations between psychotic experiences and depressive symptoms between adolescence and young adulthood.Method
Prospective cohort study with a 6 year follow-up in a community sample of 7632 adolescents and young adults. Depressive symptoms were assessed with the Short Moods and Feelings Questionnaire and psychotic experiences with a semi-structured clinical interview at 12 and 18 years. Longitudinal and cross-sectional associations were investigated with regression and structural equation models.Results
Depressive symptoms and psychotic experiences were associated at each time-point (12 years r = 0.486 [95% CI 0.457, 0.515]; 18 years r = 0.286 [95% CI 0.233, 0.339]) and there were longitudinal within-phenotype associations (depressive symptoms r = 0.252 [95% CI 0.205, 0.299]; psychotic experiences r = 0.662 [95% CI 0.595, 0.729]). There was an across-phenotype association between psychotic experiences at 12 and depressive symptoms at 18 r = 0.139 [95% CI 0.086, 0.192; p<0.001], but no association between depressive symptoms at 12 and psychotic experiences at 18 r = −0.022 [95% CI −0.032, 0.077; p = 0.891].Conclusions
Longitudinal across-phenotype associations were substantially weaker than cross-sectional associations or within-phenotype longitudinal associations. Whilst psychotic experiences at 12 years were associated with a small increase in depression at 18 years, depression at 12 years was not associated with psychotic experiences at 18 years once across-phenotype cross-sectional and within-phenotype longitudinal associations were accounted for. This suggests that the biological mechanisms underlying depression at this age do not increase subsequent risk of psychotic experiences once they resolve. 相似文献18.

BackgroundMesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy has the potential to enhance muscular regeneration. In previous publications, our group was able to show a dose-response relationship in female animals between the amount of transplanted cells and muscle force. The impact of sex on the regeneration of musculoskeletal injuries following MSC transplantation remains unclear.ObjectiveWe investigated histologic and biomechanical regeneration parameters in rats after autologous transplantation of MSCs. Our hypothesis was that female rats have greater muscle regeneration potential than male rats after autologous MSC transplantation.MethodsThirty-six Sprague-Dawley rats received an open crush trauma of the left soleus muscle. One week after trauma, 2.5 × 106 autologous MSCs, harvested from tibial biopsies, were transplanted locally (female, n = 9; male, n = 9). Control animals received saline solution (female, n = 9; male, n = 9). Histologic analysis and biomechanical evaluation by in vivo muscle force measurement were performed 3 weeks after transplantation.ResultsMSC therapy improved the force of the injured soleus in male rats significantly (twitch: treated, 0.76 [0.51–1.15]; twitch: untreated, 0.45 [0.32–0.73] [P = 0.01]; tetany: treated, 0.63 [0.4–1.21], tetany: untreated, 0.34 [0.16–0.48] [P = 0.04]). Force measurements in females also revealed significant improvements (twitch: treated, 0.71 [0.38–0.96]; twitch: untreated, 0.36 [0.18–0.63] [P = 0.005]; tetany: treated, 0.53 [0.21–0.68]; tetany: untreated, 0.27 [0.11–0.47] [P = 0.01]). The intersexual comparison of fast twitch and tetanic contraction forces revealed no significance (twitch, P = 0.55; tetany, P = 0.19). The histologic analysis showed no differences in the amount of fibrotic tissue (male, P = 0.9; female, P = 0.14) and the size of muscle area (male, P = 0.2; female, P = 0.56) following treatment. Male animals showed higher values for muscle area (P = 0.011) and less fibrosis (P = 0.028), independent of treatment.ConclusionThe outcome of skeletal muscle regeneration after injury can be improved in animals of both sexes with MSC transplantation. 相似文献

IntroductionObservational studies have reported fairly consistent inverse associations between coffee consumption and risk of type 2 diabetes, but this association has been little investigated with regard to lesser degrees of hyperglycemia and other alterations in glucose homeostasis. Additionally, the association between coffee consumption and diabetes has been rarely investigated in South American populations. We examined the cross-sectional relationships of coffee intake with newly diagnosed diabetes and measures of glucose homeostasis, insulin sensitivity, and insulin secretion, in a large Brazilian cohort of middle-aged and elderly individuals.MethodsWe used baseline data from 12,586 participants of the Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil). Logistic regression analyses were performed to examine associations between coffee consumption and newly diagnosed diabetes. Analysis of covariance was used to assess coffee intake in relation to two-hour glucose from an oral glucose tolerance test, fasting glucose, glycated hemoglobin, fasting and –2-hour postload insulin and measures of insulin sensitivity.ResultsWe found an inverse association between coffee consumption and newly diagnosed diabetes, after adjusting for multiple covariates [23% and 26% lower odds of diabetes for those consuming coffee 2–3 and >3 times per day, respectively, compared to those reporting never or almost never consuming coffee, (p = .02)]. An inverse association was also found for 2-hour postload glucose [Never/almost never: 7.57 mmol/L, ≤1 time/day: 7.48 mmol/L, 2-3 times/day: 7.22 mmol/L, >3 times/day: 7.12 mol/L, p<0.0001] but not with fasting glucose concentrations (p = 0.07). Coffee was additionally associated with 2-hour postload insulin [Never/almost never: 287.2 pmol/L, ≤1 time/day: 280.1 pmol/L, 2–3 times/day: 275.3 pmol/L, >3 times/day: 262.2 pmol/L, p = 0.0005) but not with fasting insulin concentrations (p = .58).ConclusionOur present study provides further evidence of a protective effect of coffee on risk of adult-onset diabetes. This effect appears to act primarily, if not exclusively, through postprandial, as opposed to fasting, glucose homeostasis. 相似文献

ObjectiveSevere insulin resistance syndromes, such as lipodystrophy, lead to diabetes, which is challenging to control. This study explored the safety and efficacy of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) in a series of 12 patients with severe insulin resistance due to partial lipodystrophy.MethodsA retrospective chart review of the safety (N = 22) and efficacy (N = 12) of SGLT2is in patients with partial lipodystrophy was conducted at our institution. The efficacy outcomes included hemoglobin A1C level, insulin dose, fasting plasma glucose level, C-peptide level, lipid profile, 24-hour urinary glucose excretion, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and blood pressure before and after 12 months of SGLT2i treatment.ResultsThe hemoglobin A1C level decreased after SGLT2i treatment (at baseline: 9.2% ± 2.0% [77.0 ± 21.9 mmol/mol]; after 12 months: 8.4% ± 1.8% [68.0 ± 19.7 mmol/mol]; P = .028). Significant reductions were also noted in systolic (P = .011) and diastolic blood pressure (P = .013). There was a trend toward a decreased C-peptide level (P = .071). The fasting plasma glucose level, lipid level, and estimated glomerular filtration rate remained unchanged. The adverse effects included extremity pain, hypoglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis (in a patient who was nonadherent to insulin), pancreatitis (in a patient with prior pancreatitis), and fungal infections.ConclusionSGLT2is reduced the hemoglobin A1C level in patients with partial lipodystrophy, with a similar safety profile compared with that in patients with type 2 diabetes. After individual consideration of the risks and benefits of SGLT2is, these may be considered a part of the treatment armamentarium for these rare forms of diabetes, but larger trials are needed to confirm these findings. 相似文献
