Background & Objective
Currently, a major clinical challenge is to distinguish between chronic liver disease caused by metabolic syndrome (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, NAFLD) from that caused by long term or excessive alcohol consumption (ALD). The etiology of severe liver disease affects treatment options and priorities for liver transplantation and organ allocation. Thus we compared physiologically similar NAFLD and ALD patients to detect biochemical differences for improved separation of these mechanistically overlapping etiologies.Methods
In a cohort of 31 NAFLD patients with BMI below 30 and a cohort of ALD patient with (ALDC n = 51) or without cirrhosis (ALDNC n = 51) serum transaminases, cell death markers and (adipo-)cytokines were assessed. Groups were compared with One-way ANOVA and Tukey''s correction. Predictive models were built by machine learning techniques.Results
NAFLD, ALDNC or ALDC patients did not differ in demographic parameters. The ratio of alanine aminotransferase/aspartate aminotransferase - common serum parameters for liver damage - was significantly higher in the NAFLD group compared to both ALD groups (each p<0.0001). Adiponectin and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-alpha were significantly lower in NAFLD than in ALDNC (p<0.05) or ALDC patients (p<0.0001). Significantly higher serum concentrations of cell death markers, hyaluronic acid, adiponectin, and TNF-alpha (each p<0.0001) were found in ALDC compared to ALDNC. Using machine learning techniques we were able to discern NAFLD and ALDNC (up to an AUC of 0.9118±0.0056) or ALDC and ALDNC (up to an AUC of 0.9846±0.0018), respectively.Conclusions
Machine learning techniques relying on ALT/AST ratio, adipokines and cytokines distinguish NAFLD and ALD. In addition, severity of ALD may be non-invasively diagnosed via serum cytokine concentrations. 相似文献3.

Particle-induced osteolysis is a major cause of aseptic loosening after total joint replacement. Earlier studies demonstrated
apoptotic macrophages, giant cells, fibroblasts and T-lymphocytes in capsules and interface membranes of patients with aseptic
hip implant loosening. The aim of the current study was to determine in a murine calvarial model of wear particle-induced
osteolysis whether inhibition of apoptosis using the pan-caspase inhibitor BOC-D-FMK reduces aseptic loosening. Healthy 12-week-old
male C57BL/6J mice were treated with UHMWPE particles and received a daily peritoneal injection of BOK-D-FMK, respectively
only buffer at a dose of 3 mg/kg of body weight for 12 days until sacrifice. Bone resorption was measured by histomorphometry,
micro CT (computed tomography) and TRAP-5b serum analysis. Apoptosis was measured using caspase-3 cleaved staining. The results
demonstrated that UHMWPE particles induced stronger apoptotic reactions in macrophages and osteoblasts and increased bone
resorption in non-specifically treated mice, whereas peritoneal application of BOC-D-FMK significantly counteracted these
adverse particle-related effects. We think that in particle-induced osteolysis apoptosis is pathologically increased, and
that failure to reduce the quantity of apoptotic bodies leads to an up-regulation of proinflammtory cytokines, which may be
responsible for the induction of osteolysis. We showed for the first time in vivo that a reduction in apoptosis leads to a
significant reduction in particle-induced osteolysis. Clinically, the apoptotic cascade could become an interesting novel
therapeutic target to modulate particle-induced osteolysis.

Background/Aims
Emerging data links different aspects of lipid metabolism to liver regeneration. In patients with acute liver failure (ALF), low levels of lipids may correlate with disease severity. Thus, we determined whether there is an etiology-specific link between lipid levels in patients suffering from ALF and aimed to investigate an effect of lipid levels on the prognosis of ALF.Methods
In this retrospective single center study, we reviewed 89 consecutive ALF patients, who met the criteria of the “Acute Liver Failure Study Group”. Patient characteristics, clinical data and laboratory parameters were individually analyzed at admission and correlated with the patients'' outcome after a four week follow up. Possible endpoints were either discharge, or death or liver transplantation.Results
High-density lipoprotein (HDL), cholesterol and triglyceride levels were significantly lower in patients who died or required a liver transplant. HDL levels were significantly higher in patients with ALF caused by acetaminophen intoxication, compared to fulminant HBV infection or drug induced liver injury. HDL levels correlated with hepatic injury by ALT levels, and Albumin, and inversely correlated with the MELD score, INR, and bilirubin.Conclusion
In our cohort of patients with ALF, we could show that HDL and cholesterol are suppressed. In addition novel etiology specific patterns between acteminophen and non-acteminophen induced liver failure were detected for serum lipid components. Further studies are needed to address the role of cholesterol and lipid metabolism and the according pathways in different etiologies of ALF. 相似文献6.

The Ethiopian Bush-crow Zavattariornis stresemanni is an endangered, co-operatively breeding southern Ethiopian endemic with a remarkably restricted range (c. 6 000 km2). The species’ range was recently found to be almost perfectly predicted by an envelope of cooler, drier and more seasonal climate than surrounding areas, but the proximate determinants of this range restriction remain unclear. We assessed whether specialisation in diet or foraging may restrict the range of the species by conducting foraging watches to determine prey composition, augmented by observations of opportunistic foraging techniques, and by comparing our results to previously published information on diet. Prey composition comprised a range of arthropods, such as insect larvae (62.7%), beetles (Coleoptera) (15.6%), and grasshoppers and crickets (Orthoptera) (11.8%). Prey was primarily obtained by pecks above ground (74.2%) but also frequently dug up (23.8%). Prey capture was most successful during pecks and we also found chicks were preferentially fed larger prey items over smaller ones by adults. We documented opportunistic behaviours such as nest-raiding and ox-pecking. Diet and foraging are varied and unspecialised, and therefore do not appear to explain the restricted range of the Ethiopian Bush-crow. 相似文献

Hepatic steatosis predisposes the liver to cold ischemia-warm reperfusion (CI/WR) injury by unclear mechanisms. Because hepatic steatosis has recently been associated with a lysosomal pathway of apoptosis, our aim was to determine whether this cell-death pathway contributes to CI/WR injury of steatotic livers. Wild-type and cathepsin B-knockout (Ctsb(-/-)) mice were fed the methionine/choline-deficient (MCD) diet for 2 wk to induce hepatic steatosis. Mouse livers were stored in the University of Wisconsin solution for 24 h at 4 degrees C and reperfused for 1 h at 37 degrees C in vitro. Immunofluorescence analysis of the lysosomal enzymes cathepsin B and D showed a punctated intracellular pattern consistent with lysosomal localization in wild-type mice fed a standard diet after CI/WR injury. In contrast, cathepsin B and D fluorescence became diffuse in livers from wild-type mice fed MCD diet after CI/WR, indicating that lysosomal permeabilization had occurred. Hepatocyte apoptosis was rare in both normal and steatotic livers in the absence of CI/WR injury but increased in wild-type mice fed an MCD diet and subjected to CI/WR injury. In contrast, hepatocyte apoptosis and liver damage were reduced in Ctsb(-/-) and cathepsin B inhibitor-treated mice fed the MCD diet following CI/WR injury. In conclusion, these findings support a prominent role for the lysosomal pathway of apoptosis in steatotic livers following CI/WR injury. 相似文献

Although HER2/PTEN pathway is commonly disrupted in cancer, association of HER2 and PTEN polymorphisms with breast cancer (BC) remains controversial. We investigated the HER2 Ile655 Val and PTEN IVS4 polymorphisms in patients with BC in Turkish population. HER2 Ile655Val (rs 1136201) and PTEN IVS4 (rs 3830675) polymorphisms were determined using polymerase chain reaction-based restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR–RFLP) in blood samples of 118 BC patients and 118 age-matched healthy controls. We found that the frequency of the Ile/Val genotype of HER2 Ile655Val gene was significantly higher in BC patients (p < 0.009; OR: 1,983 95 % CI: 1.181—3.328). The presence of ATCTT insertion (+/+) genotype at downstream of exon 4 in intron 4 of PTEN IVS4 gene was also associated with 1.83 fold decreased risk of BC development (p < 0.033; OR: 1.83, 95 % CI: 1.11—3.03). Analysis on clinico-pathological parameters showed neither HER2 Ile655Val nor PTEN IVS4 genotypes were not associated with any of the variables (p > 0.05).In conclusion, our findings suggest that the Ile/Val genotype of HER2 and ATCTT insertion (+/+) genotype of PTEN IVS4 gene may play an important role as genetic markers for breast cancer risk, but both genes genotypes may not be useful for predicting tumor prognosis in Turkish population. 相似文献
