Objective: Elevated androgens in women are associated with type 2 diabetes and are dependent on the conversion to estrogens by aromatase cytochrome P450. Polymorphisms of a tetranucleotide repeat [TTTA]n in the fourth intron of the CYP19 gene are associated with endocrine‐dependent diseases and were examined in relation to hormone levels and disease risk factors in premenopausal women. Research Methods and Procedures: A population sample of women born in 1956 (n = 270) were genotyped for this polymorphism and the results set in relation to steroid hormones, including saliva cortisol, anthropometric variables, estimates of insulin, glucose and lipid metabolism, and blood pressure. Results: Seven tetranucleotide repeat [TTTA]n alleles were detected with allelic sizes of 168 to 195 bp, with a TCT deletion/insertion (168/171 bp) upstream of this microsatellite. Smoking was associated with elevated androgens (p = 0.005 to 0.019). Using the median (average stretch, 177.5 bp) as a dividing line, nonsmoking women with the shorter microsatellite had higher free testosterone (p = 0.018) and lower sex hormone binding globulin (p = 0.033). These differences were pronounced with the 168‐bp allele. Such women were also characterized by a less‐substantial decrease of morning cortisols (“unwinding”; p = 0.035) and central obesity (abdominal sagittal diameter, p = 0.049) and had waist/hip circumference ratios of borderline significance (p = 0.064). Discussion: The results indicate that, in premenopausal women, a short microsatellite in the fourth intron of the CYP19 gene, caused by a TCT deletion upstream the [TTTA]n tract, is associated with elevated androgens, perturbed regulation of the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal axis, and abdominal obesity. 相似文献

Immunotherapy is being increasingly utilized for adjuvant treatment for breast cancer (BC). We have previously described immune
functions during primary therapy for BC. The present study describes immune recovery patterns during long-term, unmaintained
follow-up after completion of adjuvant therapy.A group of patients with primary BC had been treated with adjuvant radio-chemotherapy
(RT + CT) 5-fluorouracil, epirubicin and cyclophosphamide (FEC) (n = 21) and another group with radiotherapy (RT) (n = 20) alone. Immunological testing of NK and T-cell functions was performed initially at the end of adjuvant treatment and
repeated after 2, 6 and 12 months. NK cell cytotoxicity was significantly higher (P < 0.05) at all time-points in patients than in age-matched controls and did not differ between the two treatments groups
during one year observation. In contrast, lower numbers of CD4 T-cells and lower expression of CD28 on T-cells was observed
particularly in RT + CT patients and did not normalize during the observation period. The numbers of Treg cells (CD4+CD25high) were low in the RT + CT group during follow-up, as well as expression of TCRξ, Zap70, p56lck, P59fyn and PI3 k in CD4+ cells. In contrast, expression of intracellular cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-4) in CD4 and CD8 T cells were significantly higher
in RT + CT patients than in the RT group and the difference increased during follow-up. In conclusion, NK-cell cytotoxicity
increased during unmaintained long-term follow-up whereas CD4 and regulatory T cells as well as signal transduction molecules
remained low following adjuvant radio-chemotherapy. 相似文献

A series of potent nicotinamide inhibitors of soluble epoxides hydrolase (sEH) is disclosed. This series was designed using structure-based deconstruction and a combination of two HTS hit series, resulting in hybrid analogs that retained the optimal potency from one series, and acceptable in vitro metabolic stability from the other. Structure-guided optimization of these analogs gave rise to nanomolar inhibitors of human sEH that had acceptable plasma exposure to qualify them as probes to determine the in vivo phenotypic consequences of sEH inhibition. 相似文献

Sulfur mustard (SM) is a vesication chemical warfare agent for which there is currently no antidote. Despite years of research, there is no common consensus about the pathophysiological basis of chronic pulmonary disease caused by this chemical warfare agent. In this study, we combined chemometric techniques with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to explore the metabolic profile of sera from SM-exposed patients. A total of 29 serum samples obtained from 17 SM-injured patients, and 12 healthy controls were analyzed by Random Forest. Increased concentrations of seven amino acids, glycerol, dimethylamine, ketone bodies, lactate, acetate, citrulline and creatine together with the decreased very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) levels were observed in patients compared with control subjects. Our study reveals the metabolic profile of sera from SM-injured patients and indicates that NMR-based methods can distinguish these patients from healthy controls. 相似文献

Alaska Native populations are experiencing a nutrition transition and a resulting decrease in diet quality. The present study aimed to develop a quantitative food frequency questionnaire to assess the diet of the Yup''ik people of Western Alaska. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using 24-hour recalls and the information collected served as a basis for developing a quantitative food frequency questionnaire. A total of 177 males and females, aged 13-88, in six western Alaska communities, completed up to three 24-hour recalls as part of the Alaska Native Dietary and Subsistence Food Assessment Project. The frequency of the foods reported in the 24-hour recalls was tabulated and used to create a draft quantitative food frequency questionnaire, which was pilot tested and finalized with input from community members. Store-bought foods high in fat and sugar were reported more frequently than traditional foods. Seven of the top 26 foods most frequently reported were traditional foods. A 150-item quantitative food frequency questionnaire was developed that included 14 breads and crackers; 3 cereals; 11 dairy products; 69 meats, poultry and fish; 13 fruit; 22 vegetables; 9 desserts and snacks; and 9 beverages. The quantitative food frequency questionnaire contains 39 traditional food items. This quantitative food frequency questionnaire can be used to assess the unique diet of the Alaska Native people of Western Alaska. This tool will allow for monitoring of dietary changes over time as well as the identification of foods and nutrients that could be promoted in a nutrition intervention program intended to reduce chronic disease. 相似文献

Background:Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men in Iran. It can be treated in the early stages of the disease; therefore, early diagnosis can be lifesaving. The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular expression of some oncogenes and predisposing behaviors contributing to the aggressiveness of prostate cancer.Methods:In this case-control study, prostate cancer specimens were collected from both patients and healthy volunteers. Several factors such as age, family history, smoking, and stage of the disease, were investigated based on the criteria of this study. Real-time PCR was used to measure the expression of four oncogenes. Statistical analysis of our data was carried out using SPSS software version 22.Results:The X2 test showed that there was a difference in the incidence of prostate cancer in different age groups (X2= 9.30; p= 0.026). Although data analysis by the X2 test showed that family history had a significant effect on prostate cancer (X2= 14.43; p= 0.001), smoking did not show a significant effect on the incidence of this disorder (X2= 4.67; p= 0.097). The T2N1M0 stage is the most common form of prostate cancer in patients with family history of prostate cancer and the habit of smoking. Also, the expression of KRAS1P, GLB1L2, SChLAP1 and PACSIN3 oncogenes reduced in prostate cancer samples compared to the control group.Conclusion:Overall, functional interpretation of gene expression in the prostate tissue can affect tumor progression. Yet, further practical studies are required to reveal the accurate underlying mechanisms.Key Words: Age, Family History, Oncogenes, Prostate Cancer, Smoking 相似文献

Most of the modulating effects of cannabinoids on pain are through putative cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptors. However, the
involvement of other receptors is also suggested. Cannabinoid compounds with analgesic activity such as palmitoylethanolamide
(PEA) show low affinity to CB1 and CB2 receptors, yet selectively activate GPR55 receptors. The objective of the present study
was to evaluate the possible role of spinal CB1 and GPR55 receptors on antinociceptive activity of PEA in formalin test as
well as in the spinal expression of IL1-β in rat. Intrathecal (i.t.) administration of PEA (1, 10 μg) significantly decreased
both pain-related scores in formalin test and IL1-β expression in rat spinal cord. Pretreatment of rats with low doses of
CB1 receptor antagonist/GPR55 receptor agonist AM251 (10, 100 ng; i.t.), did not attenuated the effect of PEA, yet even significantly
increased the effect of PEA on IL1-β expression in rat spinal cord. Interestingly, i.t. administration of low doses of AM251
per se significantly decreased both pain related behavior and spinal IL1-β expression in formalin test. These findings suggest
the possible involvement of receptors other than CB1 receptors in spinal pain pathways, such as GPR55, in pain modulating
activity of cannabinoids. 相似文献
