Association of twenty-three plasma elements with fasting serum glucose among Chinese population from four areas with different pollution level

BackgroundAssociation between fasting serum glucose (FSG) and certain mineral elements has been extensively reported. Investigation regarding multi-element exposure among subjects with different exposure level is warranted to confirm the association and further explore dose-dependent relationship.MethodsA total of 3488 participants were recruited from four counties of Hunan province, South China. Basic characteristics were collected by face to face interview and 23 elements in plasma were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. We applied fully adjusted generalized linear regression model and multivariable restricted cubic spline function to test the association and dose-response relationship of FSG with 23 elements.ResultsThe results indicated that FSG was positively associated with plasma⁷⁸selenium level [regression coefficient (β), 0.001; 95 % confidence interval (CI), 0.001, 0.001] in a dose-dependent manner, robust to the adjustment for suspected covariates and stratification by age, gender, BMI and smoking status. A negative association was found between FSG and plasma ²⁰⁸lead (β, -0.004; 95 % CI, -0.016, -0.002), ⁵²chromium (β, -0.002; 95 % CI, -0.004, -0.001) and ⁴⁷titanium (β, -0.001; 95 % CI, -0.002, -0.001).Conclusion⁷⁸selenium was positively while ²⁰⁸lead, ⁵²chromium and ⁴⁷titanium were negatively associated with FSG in the present study. However, prospective studies are needed to confirm the results.     

Effects of storage conditions on the stability and distribution of clinical trace elements in whole blood and plasma: Application of ICP-MS

BackgroundKnowledge of trace element stability during sample handling and preservation is a prerequisite to produce reliable test results in clinical trace element analysis.MethodAn alkaline dissolution method has been developed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry to quantify eighteen trace element concentrations: vanadium, chromium, manganese, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, arsenic, selenium, bromine, molybdenum, cadmium, antimony, iodine, mercury, thallium, lead, and bismuth in human blood, using a small sample volume of 0.1 mL. The study evaluated the comparative effects of storage conditions on the stability of nutritionally essential and non-essential elements in human blood and plasma samples stored at three different temperatures (4 °C, −20 °C and −80 °C) over a one-year period, and analysed at multiple time points. The distribution of these elements between whole blood and plasma and their distribution relationships are illustrated using blood samples from 66 adult donors in Queensland.ResultsThe refrigeration and freezing of blood and plasma specimens proved to be suitable storage conditions for many of the trace elements for periods up to six months, with essentially unchanged concentrations. Substantially consistent recoveries were obtained by preserving specimens at −20 °C for up to one year. Ultra-freezing of the specimens at −80 °C did not improve stability; but appeared to result in adsorption and/or precipitation of some elements, accompanied by a longer sample thawing time. A population sample study revealed significant differences between the blood and plasma concentrations of six essential elements and their relationships also varied significantly for different elements.ConclusionBlood and plasma specimens can be reliably stored at 4 °C for six months or kept frozen at −20 °C up to one year to obtain high quality test results of trace elements.

Association of trace metal elements with lipid profiles in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients: a cross sectional study

Background

It is well known that dyslipidemia and chronic hyperglycemia increase the onset of diabetes and diabetic complication. The aim of this study is to see the association of trace metals elements and lipid profile among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.

Methods

The study was conducted on 214 type 2 diabetic patients at Jimma University Specialized Hospital, Jimma, Ethiopia. All the eligible study participants responded to the structured interviewer administered questionnaire and fasting venous blood was drawn for biochemical analysis. Trace metal elements (zinc(Zn⁺²), magnesium(Mg⁺²), chromium(Cr⁺³), calcium(Ca⁺²), phosphorus(Po₄ ^?3), manganese(Mn⁺²), copper(Cu⁺²), and iron(Fe⁺³)) and lipid profiles (total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), and triglycerides (TG)) were measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry and enzymatic determination method respectively. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 24 software for windows. Bonferroni correction for multiple statistical comparisons was used and a p-value less than 0.01 were accepted as a level of significance.

Result

The mean age of study participants was 42.95(±12.6) with an average of 5.83(±3.1) years being diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. The BMI of female (27.1(±4.9)) was significantly higher than male (25.21(±4.2)). BMI shows positive and significant (p < 0.01) association with lipid profiles (TC, LDL-C, and TG) among type 2 diabetic patients in the liner regression model. In addition, WH-R was positively associated with TG. In Pearson partial correlation adjusted for sex and age, Za⁺² shown to have statistically significant and negative correlations with TC, LDL-C and with TG. Mg⁺² and Cr⁺² negatively and significantly correlated with the lipid profile TC and LDL-C. Ca⁺² negatively correlated with TC and TG. Po^?3 ₄ positively correlated with HDL-C; iron negatively correlated with TC. However, in the liner regression model, only calcium positively and significantly (Beta = ?0.21, p < 0.01) associated with TG.

Conclusion

In the current study, a negative correlation was observed between trace metal elements (Zn⁺², Mg⁺², Cr⁺³, Ca⁺² and Fe⁺³) and lipid profile (TC, LDL-C and TG) among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. In addition, Ca⁺² observed to be associated with TG. Future studies are highly advised to uncover the bidirectional association between trace metal element and dyslipidemia in diabetic patients.

Hair Trace Elements in Overweight and Obese Adults in Association with Metabolic Parameters

The objective of the present study was to investigate the level of toxic and essential trace elements in hair of adult overweight and obese persons as well as its association with metabolic parameters. Hair trace element levels were assessed using inductively coupled plasma mass-spectrometry in 112 overweight and obese patients and 106 lean controls. Serum total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides (TG), glucose, uric acid (UA) levels, and cholinesterase (CE) and gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) activity were also assessed. Excessive body weight significantly affected hair trace element levels. In particular, hair Co (33%), Cu (13%), I (30%), Mg (2-fold), Mn (25%), Zn (17%), and Ni (21%) levels were lower, whereas Al (14%) and As levels were higher in comparison to those in the control group. Correlation analysis demonstrated the most significant correlations for hair Mg with body weight, BMI, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and UA, and for hair Al with body weight, BMI, TC, glucose, TG, CE, GGT, and UA. Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that trace elements were not associated with TC and LDL-C levels neither in crude nor in adjusted models. In turn, crude and adjusted models accounted for 25 and 43% of serum TG variance. The most significant associations were observed for hair Al, Fe, Si, and V in adjusted model. The obtained data demonstrate that obesity-related metabolic disorders may be at least partially mediated by altered trace element and mineral levels.

Lower Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Levels Are Associated with Severe Dengue Outcome

Dengue virus (DENV) is a flavivirus of worldwide importance, with approximately 4 billion people across 128 countries at risk of infection, and up to 390 million infections and 96 million clinically apparent cases estimated annually. Previous in vitro studies have shown that lipids and lipoproteins play a role in modifying virus infectivity. However, the relationship between development of severe dengue and total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), respectively, is unclear. We analyzed data from 789 laboratory-confirmed dengue cases and 447 other febrile illnesses (OFI) in a prospective pediatric hospital-based study in Managua, Nicaragua between August 2005 and January 2013, using three different classifications of dengue severity: World Health Organization (WHO) 1997, WHO 2009, and standardized intervention categories. Total serum cholesterol and LDL-C levels decreased over the course of illness and were generally lower with increasing dengue severity, regardless of classification scheme. Greater decreases in LDL-C than HDL-C were observed among dengue-positive patients compared to patients with OFI and among severe dengue compared to mild dengue cases. Furthermore, daily cholesterol levels declined with daily albumin blood levels. To examine the effect of cholesterol at presentation on subsequent risk of development of severe dengue, relative risks and 95% confidence intervals were calculated using multivariable modified Poisson models. We found that lower total serum cholesterol and LDL-C levels at presentation were associated with subsequent risk of developing dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome using the WHO 1997 dengue severity classification, and thus that the reduction in LDL-C is likely driving the decreases observed in total serum cholesterol levels among dengue-positive patients. Our results suggest that cholesterol blood levels are important correlates of dengue pathophysiology and should be explored as part of a prognostic biomarker panel for severe dengue.

Cholesterol metabolism in copper deficient rats

The influence of copper deficiency on the appearance of newly synthesized cholesterol in the plasma lipids of rats was examined following ³H mevalonate injection. At 181 days copper deficient rats exhibited a highly significant increase in plasma cholesterol concentration. Copper deficiency was associated with a greatly enhanced appearance of ³H in newly synthesized cholesterol and cholesteryl esters in the plasma lipids. A concomitant decrease in ³H incorporation into liver lipids was also observed. The results suggest that copper deficiency markedly influences the clearance of hepatic cholesterol to the plasma pool, and a highly significant correlation was observed between plasma copper concentrations and ³H incorporation into plasma cholesterol. The results are discussed in terms of a possible role for copper in lipoprotein metabolism, bile acid metabolism, and the uptake of cholesterol by extra-hepatic tissues.     

不同剂量阿伐他汀联合阿司匹林治疗原发性高血压并动脉粥样硬化的临床研究

目的:探讨不同剂量阿托伐他汀联合阿司匹林治疗原发性高血压并动脉粥样硬化的临床疗效。方法:选取2015年1月-2016年12月在我院治疗的原发性高血压并动脉粥样硬化患者80例,随机分为对照组和实验组,每组40例。实验组给予口服高剂量阿托伐他汀(40 mg/d)联合阿司匹林肠溶片(100 mg/d)治疗,对照组给予口服高剂量阿托伐他汀(20 mg/d)联合阿司匹林肠溶片(100 mg/d)治疗,疗程均为3个月。观察和比较两组患者治疗前后的总胆固醇(total cholesterol,TC)、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(high-density lipoproteincholesterol,HDL-C)、甘油三酯(triglyceride,TG)、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,LDL-C)、收缩压(systolic blood pressure,SBP)、舒张血压(diastolic blood pressure,DBP)以及颈动脉斑块分级。结果:两组治疗后的SBP、DBP、血清TC、TG和LDL-C水平均较治疗前显著降低,血清HDL-C水平较治疗前明显升高,且实验组SBP、DBP、血清TC、TG和LDL-C水平均显著低于对照组(P0.05),血清HDL-C水平明显高于对照组(P0.05)。实验组颈动脉斑块0-Ⅰ级的比例显著高于对照组(P0.05)。结论:口服高剂量阿托伐他汀(40 mg/d)联合阿司匹林肠溶片(100 mg/d)治疗原发性高血压并动脉粥样硬化较低剂量阿托伐他汀(20 mg/d)联合阿司匹林肠溶片(100 mg/d)疗效更好,可以有效降低血压,调节血脂并改善患者预后。     

Increase of Classic and Nonclassic Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Patients with Acromegaly

ObjectiveTo evaluate the prevalence of classic and nonclassic cardiovascular risk factors in patients with acromegaly.MethodsSixty-two patients with acromegaly (50 with active disease and 12 with controlled acromegaly) and 36 healthy persons (the control group) underwent measurement of lipids, fasting plasma glucose, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index, Lp(a), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), homocysteine, and variables primarily related to thrombogenesis (fibrinogen, antithrombin III, protein C, and protein S).ResultsIn comparison with control subjects, patients with active acromegaly had significantly higher mean values of fasting plasma glucose, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, Lp(a), HOMA-IR, and fibrinogen as well as lower mean levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and protein S. In both groups, homocysteine, antithrombin III, protein C, and hsCRP levels were similar. Moreover, patients with active acromegaly, in comparison with those who had controlled acromegaly, presented with significantly higher values of fasting plasma glucose, HOMA-IR, triglycerides, VLDL cholesterol, Lp(a), and fibrinogen, whereas hsCRP and protein S were significantly lower. Finally, low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and protein S as well as elevated values of VLDL cholesterol, triglycerides, HOMA-IR, and fasting plasma glucose were more prevalent in patients with active acromegaly than in the other groups.ConclusionOur findings demonstrate that, in comparison with control subjects and patients with controlled acromegaly, patients with active acromegaly had a higher frequency of classic and nonclassic cardiovascular risk factors. These findings are potentially very important because acromegaly is associated with a 2- to 3-fold increase in mortality rate, predominantly related to cardiovascular disease.
