Distribution of group specific component (GC) and transferrin (TF) subtypes in populations of Sri Lanka. A random sample of 503 individuals from five endogamous groups of Sri Lanka was studied for the genetic polymorphism of the group specific component (GC) and transferrin (TF) using isoelectric focusing. Both systems showed statistically significant heterogeneity among the five main populations of the island. The GC allele frequencies of Malays are significantly different from those of the other four populations (Sinhalese, Tamils, Moors and Burghers). However, the TF system shows less variation, since only the Moors show a significant heterogeneity compared to Tamils and Burghers. The frequencies found in the present study are very different from those reported for the populations of the Indian mainland.

Effect of Aerva lanata on solid tumor induced by DLA cells in mice. Aerva lanata whole plant was extracted with petroleum ether, methanol and acetone. The partially TLC-purified fraction (PEF) of petroleum ether extract was proved to be cytotoxic to Dalton's lymphoma ascites (DLA), Ehrlich ascites (EA) and B16F10 cell lines in vitro. Since PEF was found to be more cytotoxic to DLA cell lines, it was used to study the pharmacological effect and its potential to reduce solid tumor induced by DLA cell lines in mice.

Impact of the Hepatic Branch of the Vagus Nerve Transection in Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy for Patients with Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. BACKGROUND: An increase in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has been reported, and concomitant hiatal hernia repair (HHR) during LSG is expected to reduce the incidence of post-LSG GERD. In HHR, the hepatic branch of the vagus nerve is anatomically transected. Recent experimental animal models suggest that vagotomy may affect glycemic control and weight loss through a neuroendocrine response. OBJECTIVES: To examine whether LSG with/without hepatic branch vagotomy (HV) has a clinical impact on glycemic control in patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Furthermore, the impact on weight loss and post-LSG GERD were evaluated. METHODS: A total of 204 Japanese patients with obesity and T2DM, who underwent LSG and completed 1-year follow-up, were retrospectively analyzed. Operative outcomes, weight loss, glycemic, and GERD-related parameters were compared between the LSG/HHR/HV group (n = 89) and the LSG group (n = 115). RESULTS: There was no significant difference in the background factors in terms of anthropometric and T2DM-related parameters between the groups. The median operation times in the LSG/HHR/HV and LSG groups were 133 and 124 minutes, respectively (p = 0.236). At 1 year, the diabetes remission rate, HbA1c, fasting glucose, and C-peptide levels were all comparable between the groups. The weight loss effect was also comparable. The patients in the LSG/HHR/HV group achieved significant improvement and prevention of GERD and hiatus hernia (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: HV does not appear to have a clinical impact on glycemic control and weight loss. Concomitant HHR with LSG serves to reduce post-LSG GERD.

A bony skeleton provided structural support and a calcium reservoir essential for the movement from an aquatic to a terrestrial environment. Cartilaginous fishes are the oldest living group of jawed vertebrates. In this study we have identified three members of the parathyroid hormone (Pth) gene family in a cartilaginous fish, the elephant shark (Callorhinchus milii). The three genes include two Pth genes, designated as Pth1 and Pth2, and a Pthrp gene. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that elephant shark Pth2 is an ancient gene whose orthologue is lost in bony vertebrates. The Pth1 and Pth2 genes have the same structure as the Pth gene in bony vertebrates, whereas the structure of the Pthrp gene is more complex in tetrapods compared with elephant shark. The three elephant shark genes showed distinct patterns of expression, with Pth2 being expressed only in the brain and spleen. This contrasts with localization of the corresponding proteins, which showed considerable overlap in their distribution. There were conserved sites of localization for Pthrp between elephant shark and mammals, including tissues such as kidney, skin, skeletal and cardiac muscle, pancreas, and cartilage. The elephant shark Pth1(1-34) and Pthrp(1-34) peptides were able to stimulate cAMP accumulation in mammalian UMR106.01 cells. However, Pth2(1-34) peptide did not show such PTH-like biologic activity. The presence of Pth and Pthrp genes in the elephant shark indicates that these genes played fundamental roles before their recruitment to bone development in bony jawed vertebrates." ], "offsets": [ [ 99, 1748 ] ] } ]

Parathyroid hormone gene family in a cartilaginous fish, the elephant shark (Callorhinchus milii). The development of bone was a major step in the evolution of vertebrates. A bony skeleton provided structural support and a calcium reservoir essential for the movement from an aquatic to a terrestrial environment. Cartilaginous fishes are the oldest living group of jawed vertebrates. In this study we have identified three members of the parathyroid hormone (Pth) gene family in a cartilaginous fish, the elephant shark (Callorhinchus milii). The three genes include two Pth genes, designated as Pth1 and Pth2, and a Pthrp gene. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that elephant shark Pth2 is an ancient gene whose orthologue is lost in bony vertebrates. The Pth1 and Pth2 genes have the same structure as the Pth gene in bony vertebrates, whereas the structure of the Pthrp gene is more complex in tetrapods compared with elephant shark. The three elephant shark genes showed distinct patterns of expression, with Pth2 being expressed only in the brain and spleen. This contrasts with localization of the corresponding proteins, which showed considerable overlap in their distribution. There were conserved sites of localization for Pthrp between elephant shark and mammals, including tissues such as kidney, skin, skeletal and cardiac muscle, pancreas, and cartilage. The elephant shark Pth1(1-34) and Pthrp(1-34) peptides were able to stimulate cAMP accumulation in mammalian UMR106.01 cells. However, Pth2(1-34) peptide did not show such PTH-like biologic activity. The presence of Pth and Pthrp genes in the elephant shark indicates that these genes played fundamental roles before their recruitment to bone development in bony jawed vertebrates.

Autophagy is a cellular self-digestion process that can selectively remove damaged organelles under oxidative stress, and thus presents a potential therapeutic target against cardiac lipotoxicity. Globular CTRP9 (gCTRP9) is a newly identified adiponectin paralog with established metabolic regulatory properties. The aim of this work is to investigate whether autophagy participates the protection effects of gCTRP9 in neonatal rat cardiac myocytes (NRCMs) under oxidative stress and the underlying mechanism. RESULTS: NRCMs were treated with PA of various concentrations for indicated time period. Our results showed that PA enhanced intracellular ROS accumulation, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (Deltapsim) and increased activation of caspases 3. These changes suggested lipotoxicity due to excessive PA. In addition, PA was observed to impair autophagic flux in NRCMs and impaired autophagosome clearance induced by PA contributes to cardiomyocyte death. Besides, we found that gCTRP9 increased the ratio of LC3II/I and the expression of ATG5 which was vital to the formation of autophagosomes and decreased the level of P62, suggesting enhanced autophagic flux in the absence or presence of PA. The result was further confirmed by the methods of infection with LC3-mRFP-GFP lentivirus and blockage of autophagosome-lysosome fusion by BafA1. Moreover, gCTRP9 reestablished the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, suppressed ROS generation, and reduced PA -induced myocyte death.

Globular CTRP9 protects cardiomyocytes from palmitic acid-induced oxidative stress by enhancing autophagic flux. BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress in cardiac myocytes is an important pathogenesis of cardiac lipotoxicity. Autophagy is a cellular self-digestion process that can selectively remove damaged organelles under oxidative stress, and thus presents a potential therapeutic target against cardiac lipotoxicity. Globular CTRP9 (gCTRP9) is a newly identified adiponectin paralog with established metabolic regulatory properties. The aim of this work is to investigate whether autophagy participates the protection effects of gCTRP9 in neonatal rat cardiac myocytes (NRCMs) under oxidative stress and the underlying mechanism. RESULTS: NRCMs were treated with PA of various concentrations for indicated time period. Our results showed that PA enhanced intracellular ROS accumulation, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (Deltapsim) and increased activation of caspases 3. These changes suggested lipotoxicity due to excessive PA. In addition, PA was observed to impair autophagic flux in NRCMs and impaired autophagosome clearance induced by PA contributes to cardiomyocyte death. Besides, we found that gCTRP9 increased the ratio of LC3II/I and the expression of ATG5 which was vital to the formation of autophagosomes and decreased the level of P62, suggesting enhanced autophagic flux in the absence or presence of PA. The result was further confirmed by the methods of infection with LC3-mRFP-GFP lentivirus and blockage of autophagosome-lysosome fusion by BafA1. Moreover, gCTRP9 reestablished the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, suppressed ROS generation, and reduced PA -induced myocyte death. However, the protective effect of gCTRP9 on the cardiac lipotoxicity was partly abolished by blockade of autophagy by autophagy-related 5 (ATG5) siRNA, indicating that the effect of gCTRP9 on cell survival is critically mediated through regulation of autophagy. CONCLUSION: Autophagy induction by gCTRP9 could be utilized as a potential therapeutic strategy against oxidative stress-mediated damage in cardiomyocytes.

We aimed to evaluate the influence of their secretory phenotype and preoperative alpha-blocker treatment on surgical outcome. Design: A retrospective monocentric study at a tertiary medical centre. Patients: In this study, 80 consecutive patients operated by the same team for a PC between 1988 and 2018. Results: Diagnosis was based on typical symptoms and signs in 58 patients, genetic testing in 12 and work-up of an adrenal incidentaloma in 9. It was made during surgery in one patient. A genetic predisposition was found in one-third of index cases (21/62). The majority of the patients (73/79) had a secreting PC; more than 2/3 had an adrenergic phenotype and less than 1/3 a noradrenergic phenotype. The rate of perioperative haemodynamic complications was not influenced by the secretory phenotype, but persistent hypertension after surgery, recurrence and malignancy were more frequently observed in patients with a noradrenergic tumour. Preoperative alpha-blocker treatment was given for >= 14 days in 29 patients and, although being more symptomatic at diagnosis, these patients had less haemodynamic complications (3/29 vs 12/51 non-treated patients, P = 0.05).

Influence of secretory phenotype and preoperative preparation on surgical outcome in pheochromocytoma. Objectives: Surgery of pheochromocytomas (PCs) still carries a high risk of haemodynamic complications during the perioperative period. We aimed to evaluate the influence of their secretory phenotype and preoperative alpha-blocker treatment on surgical outcome. Design: A retrospective monocentric study at a tertiary medical centre. Patients: In this study, 80 consecutive patients operated by the same team for a PC between 1988 and 2018. Results: Diagnosis was based on typical symptoms and signs in 58 patients, genetic testing in 12 and work-up of an adrenal incidentaloma in 9. It was made during surgery in one patient. A genetic predisposition was found in one-third of index cases (21/62). The majority of the patients (73/79) had a secreting PC; more than 2/3 had an adrenergic phenotype and less than 1/3 a noradrenergic phenotype. The rate of perioperative haemodynamic complications was not influenced by the secretory phenotype, but persistent hypertension after surgery, recurrence and malignancy were more frequently observed in patients with a noradrenergic tumour. Preoperative alpha-blocker treatment was given for >= 14 days in 29 patients and, although being more symptomatic at diagnosis, these patients had less haemodynamic complications (3/29 vs 12/51 non-treated patients, P = 0.05). Conclusions: The occurrence of haemodynamic complications during surgery was not significantly affected by the secretory phenotype in our study, but noradrenergic tumours show a worse post-surgical outcome. Our data also provide additional support in favour of a sufficient preoperative alpha-blockade in patients with pheochromocytoma.

During and after the redistribution, ligand-receptor clusters are endocytosed into coated pits and coated vesicles. Morphometric analysis of the distribution of ferritin-labeled ligand at EM resolution reveals the following sequence of events in the endocytosis of cell surface IgM: (a) binding of the multivalent ligand in a diffuse cell surface distribution, (b) clustering of the ligand-receptor complexes, (c) recruitment of clathrin coats to the cytoplasmic surface of the cell membrane opposite ligand-receptor clusters, (d) assembly and (e) internalization of coated vesicles, and (f) delivery of label into a large vesicular compartment, presumably partly lysosomal. Most of the labeled ligand enters this pathway. The recruitment of clathrin coats to the membrane opposite ligand-receptor clusters is sensitive to the calmodulin-directed drug Stelazine (trifluoperazine dihydrochloride). In addition, Stelazine inhibits an alternate pathway of endocytosis that does not involve coated vesicle formation. The actin-directed drug dihydrocytochalasin B has no effect on the recruitment of clathrin to the ligand-receptor clusters and the formation of coated pits and little effect on the alternate pathway, but this drug does interfere with subsequent coated vesicle formation and it inhibits capping.

Objective: Medical students created the Medical Student Task Force (MSTF) to help ensure continuity of care by calling patients whose appointments were delayed during this transition to telemedicine. Methods: Eighty-five student volunteers called 3765 internal medicine patients with canceled appointments, completing screening for 2197 patients. Volunteers screened for health care needs, assessed preferences for future appointments, and offered emotional support and information about COVID-19. Urgent or emergent patient concerns were triaged and escalated to providers. In this analysis, we used a mixed-methods approach: call information and provider responses were analyzed quantitatively, and patient feedback was analyzed qualitatively via thematic analysis. Results: Ninety-one percent of patients screened found the MSTF calls helpful. Twenty-one percent of patients reported health concerns, with 1% reporting urgent concerns escalated to and addressed by providers. Themes of patient comments included gratitude for outreach and social contact, utility of calls, and well-wishes for health care workers. Conclusions: By calling patients whose appointments had been canceled during a rapid transition to telemedicine, the MSTF helped bridge a potential gap in care by offering patients communication with their care teams, information, and support.

Volunteers screened for health care needs, assessed preferences for future appointments, and offered emotional support and information about COVID-19. Urgent or emergent patient concerns were triaged and escalated to providers. In this analysis, we used a mixed-methods approach: call information and provider responses were analyzed quantitatively, and patient feedback was analyzed qualitatively via thematic analysis. Results: Ninety-one percent of patients screened found the MSTF calls helpful. Twenty-one percent of patients reported health concerns, with 1% reporting urgent concerns escalated to and addressed by providers. Themes of patient comments included gratitude for outreach and social contact, utility of calls, and well-wishes for health care workers. Conclusions: By calling patients whose appointments had been canceled during a rapid transition to telemedicine, the MSTF helped bridge a potential gap in care by offering patients communication with their care teams, information, and support. We propose that this model could be used in other care systems urgently transitioning to outpatient telemedicine, whether during ongoing outbreaks of COVID-19 or other public health emergencies.

A randomized triple-blind controlled clinical trial evaluation of sitagliptin in the treatment of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases without diabetes. The current study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of sitagliptin vs. placebo in treating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In a triple-blind randomized clinical trial, we assigned 120 eligible subjects with NAFLD to receive daily dosing of 50 mg sitagliptin (n = 60) or the placebo (n = 60) for 56 weeks and lifestyle modification in both groups.

DESIGN: We studied 92 PHPT patients (74 females, age 62.1+-9.7 years) and 98 control subjects. In all patients at baseline, in 20 surgically treated patients and in 10 conservatively treated patients after 24 months, TBS, spinal (lumbar spine (LS)) and femoral (total hip (TH) and femoral neck (FN)) BMD were assessed by DXA and VFx by spinal radiograph. RESULTS: PHPT patients had lower TBS (-2.39+-1.8) and higher VFx prevalence (43.5%) than controls (-0.98+-1.07 and 8.2% respectively, both P<0.0001). TBS was associated with VFx (odds ratio 1.4, 95% CI 1.1-1.9, P=0.02), regardless of LS-BMD, age, BMI and gender, and showed a better compromise between sensitivity (75%) and specificity (61.5%) for detecting VFx than LS-BMD, TH-BMD and FN-BMD (31 and 75%, 72 and 44.2%, and 64 and 65% respectively). In surgically treated patients, TBS, LS-BMD, TH-BMD and FN-BMD increased (+47+-44.8,+29.2+-34.1,+49.4+-48.7 and +30.2+-39.3% respectively, all P<0.0001). Among patients treated conservatively, TBS decreased significantly in those (n=3) with incident VFx (-1.3+-0.3) compared with those without (-0.01+-0.9, P=0.048), while BMD changes were not statistically different (LS 0.3+-1.2 vs -0.8+-0.9 respectively, P=0.19; TH 0.4+-0.8 vs -0.8+-1.4 respectively, P=0.13 and FN 0.4+-0.9 vs -0.8+-1.4 respectively, P=0.14).

DESIGN: We studied 92 PHPT patients (74 females, age 62.1+-9.7 years) and 98 control subjects. In all patients at baseline, in 20 surgically treated patients and in 10 conservatively treated patients after 24 months, TBS, spinal (lumbar spine (LS)) and femoral (total hip (TH) and femoral neck (FN)) BMD were assessed by DXA and VFx by spinal radiograph. RESULTS: PHPT patients had lower TBS (-2.39+-1.8) and higher VFx prevalence (43.5%) than controls (-0.98+-1.07 and 8.2% respectively, both P<0.0001). TBS was associated with VFx (odds ratio 1.4, 95% CI 1.1-1.9, P=0.02), regardless of LS-BMD, age, BMI and gender, and showed a better compromise between sensitivity (75%) and specificity (61.5%) for detecting VFx than LS-BMD, TH-BMD and FN-BMD (31 and 75%, 72 and 44.2%, and 64 and 65% respectively). In surgically treated patients, TBS, LS-BMD, TH-BMD and FN-BMD increased (+47+-44.8,+29.2+-34.1,+49.4+-48.7 and +30.2+-39.3% respectively, all P<0.0001). Among patients treated conservatively, TBS decreased significantly in those (n=3) with incident VFx (-1.3+-0.3) compared with those without (-0.01+-0.9, P=0.048), while BMD changes were not statistically different (LS 0.3+-1.2 vs -0.8+-0.9 respectively, P=0.19; TH 0.4+-0.8 vs -0.8+-1.4 respectively, P=0.13 and FN 0.4+-0.9 vs -0.8+-1.4 respectively, P=0.14). CONCLUSIONS: In PHPT, bone quality, as measured by TBS, is reduced and associated with VFx and improves after surgery.

Function of the apetala-1 gene during Arabidopsis floral development. We have characterized the floral phenotypes produced by the recessive homeotic apetala 1-1 (ap1-1) mutation in Arabidopsis. Plants homozygous for this mutation display a homeotic conversion of sepsis into brachts and the concomitant formation of floral buds in the axil of each transformed sepal. In addition, these flowers lack petals. We show that the loss of petal phenotype is due to the failure of petal primordia to be initiated.

Methods: The research was carried out using computer-based tests of the Vienna Test System (COG, DT, WAFF) and pupillography (F2D Fit-For-Duty). Results: There were no statistically significant effects of the main genders and groups on sleepiness measured by the pupillography. There was no deterioration in the results after deprivation among women and men in the COG test. Changes were noted in the DT and WAFF tests, and their size depended on the test. The number of false responses in psychomotor test was higher in women after sleep deprivation. Conclusion: One night of sleep deprivation may not have been a negative enough stimulus for young, healthy women and men to reveal gender differences in psychomotor tests. Low sleep levels can lead to low productivity at work and accidents due to reduced vigilance. Insufficient sleep in the long term can lead to poor health, resulting in hypertension, obesity and depression." ], "offsets": [ [ 90, 1485 ] ] } ]

The Influence of 24-hr Sleep Deprivation on Psychomotor Vigilance in Young Women and Men. Background: The number of studies on gender differences in psychomotor performance and sleepiness is small and the results are contradictory. The aim of this study was to assess the changes in psychomotor performance, due to 24 h of sleep deprivation in young women and men. Participants: Eighty-nine students (49 women and 40 men) took part in the study. Participants were randomized into two groups: experimental (sleep deprived) and control (non-sleep deprived). Methods: The research was carried out using computer-based tests of the Vienna Test System (COG, DT, WAFF) and pupillography (F2D Fit-For-Duty). Results: There were no statistically significant effects of the main genders and groups on sleepiness measured by the pupillography. There was no deterioration in the results after deprivation among women and men in the COG test. Changes were noted in the DT and WAFF tests, and their size depended on the test.

This systematic review examines the effectiveness of nuts on the lipid profile among patients with dyslipidemia from different age groups. A total of 29 interventional studies from 5 databases met the inclusion criteria. In all, 20 studies were randomized controlled clinical trials, whereas 9 were crossover-controlled clinical trials. Participants included in the studies were different in terms of age, sex and, serum lipid profile. The studies were inconsistent in the type of tree nuts, duration, dose, and the nut forms. All studies indicated changes in the lipid profile after the intervention particularly on the total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein.

Effect of Tree Nuts Consumption on Serum Lipid Profile in Hyperlipidemic Individuals: A Systematic Review. Many epidemiological studies have regularly connected nuts intake with decreased risk for coronary heart disease. The primary mechanism by which nuts protect against cardiovascular disease is through the improvement of lipid and apolipoprotein profile. Therefore, numerous dietary intervention studies investigated the impact of nut consumption on blood lipid levels. Many studies have shown that nut intake can enhance the lipid profile in a dose-response way among individuals with increased serum lipids. This systematic review examines the effectiveness of nuts on the lipid profile among patients with dyslipidemia from different age groups. A total of 29 interventional studies from 5 databases met the inclusion criteria. In all, 20 studies were randomized controlled clinical trials, whereas 9 were crossover-controlled clinical trials. Participants included in the studies were different in terms of age, sex and, serum lipid profile. The studies were inconsistent in the type of tree nuts, duration, dose, and the nut forms. All studies indicated changes in the lipid profile after the intervention particularly on the total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein. Interventional periods ranged from 3 weeks up to 12 months with doses ranged from 15 to 126 gm. In conclusion, this review provides an evidence of favorable effect of nuts consumption of serum lipid profile.

This syndrome is characterized by hyperandrogenism, chronic anovulation, infertility and obesity. The association between PCOS-related hyperandrogenemia and insulin resistance is well documented in the literature. Insulin resistance and the resulting raised plasma levels of insulin are reported to be responsible for the high androgen concentration observed in patients with PCOS. In this prospective study, blood samples for levels of testosterone (T), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), LH/FSH, prolactin and fasting blood sugar (FBS) before starting metformin administration were obtained randomly from 40 women who were apparently obese, had PCOS and had been referred to a university hospital. Metformin was then given at a dose of 500 mg three times a day for 8 weeks, after which time the pretreatment study was repeated. Clinical symptoms of PCOS, including acne and hirsutism score and body mass index (BMI), were assessed before and after the treatment cycle. Metformin therapy resulted in a significant decrease in total testosterone levels and FBS. There was also a significant decline in BMI, length of the menstrual cycle, acne and hirsutism score. There were no significant changes in the levels of DHEAS, prolactin, FSH or LH, or in LH/FSH. The effect of metformin on subjects with elevated DHEAS levels was different to that on individuals with normal DHEAS levels. In the latter group there were only significant improvements in the length of the menstrual cycle, BMI and testosterone and DHEAS levels. It is concluded that metformin therapy in subjects with PCOS results in a decrease in fasting blood sugar and testosterone levels, and leads to a significant improvement in the clinical manifestation of hyperandrogenism.

Effects of metformin therapy on hyperandrogenism in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome. Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine diseases in women. This syndrome is characterized by hyperandrogenism, chronic anovulation, infertility and obesity. The association between PCOS-related hyperandrogenemia and insulin resistance is well documented in the literature. Insulin resistance and the resulting raised plasma levels of insulin are reported to be responsible for the high androgen concentration observed in patients with PCOS. In this prospective study, blood samples for levels of testosterone (T), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), LH/FSH, prolactin and fasting blood sugar (FBS) before starting metformin administration were obtained randomly from 40 women who were apparently obese, had PCOS and had been referred to a university hospital. Metformin was then given at a dose of 500 mg three times a day for 8 weeks, after which time the pretreatment study was repeated. Clinical symptoms of PCOS, including acne and hirsutism score and body mass index (BMI), were assessed before and after the treatment cycle. Metformin therapy resulted in a significant decrease in total testosterone levels and FBS. There was also a significant decline in BMI, length of the menstrual cycle, acne and hirsutism score. There were no significant changes in the levels of DHEAS, prolactin, FSH or LH, or in LH/FSH. The effect of metformin on subjects with elevated DHEAS levels was different to that on individuals with normal DHEAS levels. In the latter group there were only significant improvements in the length of the menstrual cycle, BMI and testosterone and DHEAS levels. It is concluded that metformin therapy in subjects with PCOS results in a decrease in fasting blood sugar and testosterone levels, and leads to a significant improvement in the clinical manifestation of hyperandrogenism. These responses also related to the level of adrenal function.

Lung Recruitment Maneuvers Assessment by Bedside Lung Ultrasound in Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. The use of recruitment maneuvers (RMs) is suggested to improve severe oxygenation failure in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

This paper aims to evaluate bedside LUS for assessing PEEP-induced pulmonary reaeration during RMs in pediatric patients.

Inhibition of Abeta assembly, destabilization of preformed Abeta aggregates and attenuation of the cytotoxicity of Abeta oligomers and fibrils could be valuable therapeutics of patients with AD. Recent studies suggested that moderate consumption of red wine and intake of dietary polyphenols, such as resveratrol, may benefit AD phenotypes in animal models and reduce the relative risk for AD clinical dementia. To understand the mechanism of this neuroprotection, we studied the effects of resveratrol, an active ingredient of polyphenols in wine and many plants, on the polymerization of Abeta42 monomer, the destabilization of Abeta42 fibril and the cell toxicity of Abeta42 in vitro using fluorescence spectroscopic analysis with thioflavin T (ThT), transmission electron microscope (TEM), circular dichroism (CD) and MTT assay. The results showed that resveratrol could dose-dependently inhibit Abeta42 fibril formation and cytotoxicity but could not prevent Abeta42 oligomerization.

Resveratrol inhibits beta-amyloid oligomeric cytotoxicity but does not prevent oligomer formation. Beta-amyloid (Abeta) aggregation has been strongly associated with the neurodegenerative pathology and a cascade of harmful event rated to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Inhibition of Abeta assembly, destabilization of preformed Abeta aggregates and attenuation of the cytotoxicity of Abeta oligomers and fibrils could be valuable therapeutics of patients with AD. Recent studies suggested that moderate consumption of red wine and intake of dietary polyphenols, such as resveratrol, may benefit AD phenotypes in animal models and reduce the relative risk for AD clinical dementia. To understand the mechanism of this neuroprotection, we studied the effects of resveratrol, an active ingredient of polyphenols in wine and many plants, on the polymerization of Abeta42 monomer, the destabilization of Abeta42 fibril and the cell toxicity of Abeta42 in vitro using fluorescence spectroscopic analysis with thioflavin T (ThT), transmission electron microscope (TEM), circular dichroism (CD) and MTT assay. The results showed that resveratrol could dose-dependently inhibit Abeta42 fibril formation and cytotoxicity but could not prevent Abeta42 oligomerization. The studies by Western-blot, dot-blot and ELISA confirmed that the addition of resveratrol resulted in numerous Abeta42 oligomer formation. In conjunction with the concept that Abeta oligomers are linked to Abeta toxicity, we speculate that aside from potential antioxidant activities, resveratrol may directly bind to Abeta42, interfere in Abeta42 aggregation, change the Abeta42 oligomer conformation and attenuate Abeta42 oligomeric cytotoxicity.

METHODS: Retrospective review of consecutive patients presented to A&E between Dec 2003 and July 2004 was performed and these patients were prospectively followed for six months for future coronary events and hospital admissions. A total of 325 patients presented to A&E with chest pain that were at low to intermediate risk for ACS. Paired TCM and ECGs were performed 2 h apart and the results were used to determine whether hospital admission was required. Follow up data was collected from hospital records, hospital database, GPS and patient interviews. RESULTS: 325 consecutive patients [225 men, 100 women; aged 18-97 years, median-68 years] were included in the study. Paired TCM was negative in 100 patients [30%] and they were discharged from A&E. The re-admission rate for this group of patients was 1% with ACS and no deaths from cardiac cause at six months. 36 [11%] had single TCM negative and were sent home with 3% re-admission rate with ACS and no death at six months. Subgroup analysis shows sensitivity and specificity of 85.7% and 96.5% respectively for TCM to diagnose ACS in this setting. CONCLUSION: Almost one third of patients who presented with chest pain and low to intermediate probability of ACS were safely discharged from A&E following paired negative TCM.

Is it safe to discharge patients from accident and emergency using a rapid point of care Triple Cardiac Marker test to rule out acute coronary syndrome in low to intermediate risk patients presenting with chest pain? PURPOSE: To determine whether patients presenting with chest pain who are at low to intermediate risk for ACS can safely be discharged from Accident and Emergency using Triple Cardiac Marker [TCM] [CK-MB, myoglobin, troponin I] without increasing risk and cost effective use of coronary care facilities. METHODS: Retrospective review of consecutive patients presented to A&E between Dec 2003 and July 2004 was performed and these patients were prospectively followed for six months for future coronary events and hospital admissions. A total of 325 patients presented to A&E with chest pain that were at low to intermediate risk for ACS. Paired TCM and ECGs were performed 2 h apart and the results were used to determine whether hospital admission was required. Follow up data was collected from hospital records, hospital database, GPS and patient interviews. RESULTS: 325 consecutive patients [225 men, 100 women; aged 18-97 years, median-68 years] were included in the study. Paired TCM was negative in 100 patients [30%] and they were discharged from A&E. The re-admission rate for this group of patients was 1% with ACS and no deaths from cardiac cause at six months. 36 [11%] had single TCM negative and were sent home with 3% re-admission rate with ACS and no death at six months. Subgroup analysis shows sensitivity and specificity of 85.7% and 96.5% respectively for TCM to diagnose ACS in this setting. CONCLUSION: Almost one third of patients who presented with chest pain and low to intermediate probability of ACS were safely discharged from A&E following paired negative TCM. Six month re-admission rate with ACS in this group of patients was only 1% with no death. Therefore paired TCM can be used to safely discharge this group of patients. This marker has the potential to significantly reduce hospital admissions.

The effects of cyclosporin on lymphocyte activation in a systemic graft-vs.-host reaction. We have investigated the effects of cyclosporin (CsA) on each of three stages of lymphocyte activation in vivo viz. sequestration of alloantigen-reactive lymphocytes from the circulation into the spleen and lymph nodes, blast transformation and induction of DNA synthesis in the activated cells and release of these cells and their progeny into the circulation. Parental strain lymphocytes injected i.v. into semi-allogeneic rats and recovered from the thoracic duct within 36 h are profoundly unresponsive in a local graft-vs.-host assay to the alloantigens of the F1 hybrid but have normal activity against unrelated alloantigens (negative selection). CsA treatment of the F1 hybrid recipients did not prevent this selective sequestration of antigen-reactive cells. In the untreated F1 hybrid, from 36 h after injection, large numbers of dividing blast cells were released into the lymph. These cells did not appear in the lymph of recipients treated with CsA. However, CsA did not prevent the activation of cells sequestered in the spleen or lymph nodes as assessed by [3H] thymidine incorporation and autoradiography. This unexpected finding suggests that CsA inhibits lymphocyte responses to alloantigens in vivo after DNA synthesis which is a later stage than the in vitro studies have shown.

RESULTS: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3b to 5 was associated with an increased risk of mortality after either TAVI or SAVR compared with CKD stages 1 to 3a. Among 170 propensity score-matched pairs with CKD stages 3b to 5, patients who underwent TAVI had a significantly higher rate of permanent pacemaker implantation, vascular damage, and mild to moderate paravalvular regurgitation, and tended to have a higher 30-day mortality (7.1% versus 2.9%; p = 0.09). Thirty-day mortality after transapical TAVI was 7.1%. SAVR had a significantly higher rate of blood transfusions, stroke, and acute kidney injury.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Versus Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement for Severe Aortic Stenosis in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease Stages 3b to 5. BACKGROUND: There are scarce data on outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients with renal failure. METHODS: We evaluated the impact of renal failure on outcomes after TAVI and SAVR and compared the results of these procedures in patients with chronic kidney disease stages 3b to 5 from the Observational Study of Effectiveness of AVR-TAVI Procedures for Severe Aortic Stenosis Treatment (OBSERVANT) study. RESULTS: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3b to 5 was associated with an increased risk of mortality after either TAVI or SAVR compared with CKD stages 1 to 3a.

Recently, microvascular lymph node transfer (LN) has been used to improve the lymphatic function in lymphedema patients. To elucidate the biological effects of flap transfer (with and without lymph nodes), we have studied the postoperative production of proinflammatory, anti-inflammatory, prolymphangiogenic and antilymphangiogenic cytokines, and growth factors (interleukin 1alpha [IL-1alpha], IL-1beta, tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNF-alpha], IL-10, transforming growth factor beta1 [TGF-beta1], IL-4 and IL-13, and vascular endothelial growth factor C [VEGF-C] and VEGF-D) in postoperative wound exudate samples. METHODS: Axillary wound exudate samples were analyzed from four patient groups: axillary lymph node dissection (ALND), microvascular breast reconstruction (BR), LN, and combined LN and BR (LN-BR). RESULTS: The concentration of proinflammatory cytokines was low in all the flap transfer groups as opposed to the ALND group, which showed an extensive proinflammatory response. The level of anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic cytokine IL-10 was increased in the LN-BR group samples compared with the ALND and BR groups. In the LN and LN-BR groups, the cytokine profile showed an anti-inflammatory response. CONCLUSIONS: Transfer of healthy tissue hinders the proinflammatory response after surgery, which may explain the beneficial effects of flap transfer in various patient groups. In addition, flap transfer with lymph nodes seems to also promote an antifibrotic effect.

Anti-inflammatory effects of flap and lymph node transfer. BACKGROUND: Transfer of healthy tissue is commonly used in the treatment of complicated wounds and in reconstruction of tissue defects. Recently, microvascular lymph node transfer (LN) has been used to improve the lymphatic function in lymphedema patients. To elucidate the biological effects of flap transfer (with and without lymph nodes), we have studied the postoperative production of proinflammatory, anti-inflammatory, prolymphangiogenic and antilymphangiogenic cytokines, and growth factors (interleukin 1alpha [IL-1alpha], IL-1beta, tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNF-alpha], IL-10, transforming growth factor beta1 [TGF-beta1], IL-4 and IL-13, and vascular endothelial growth factor C [VEGF-C] and VEGF-D) in postoperative wound exudate samples. METHODS: Axillary wound exudate samples were analyzed from four patient groups: axillary lymph node dissection (ALND), microvascular breast reconstruction (BR), LN, and combined LN and BR (LN-BR). RESULTS: The concentration of proinflammatory cytokines was low in all the flap transfer groups as opposed to the ALND group, which showed an extensive proinflammatory response. The level of anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic cytokine IL-10 was increased in the LN-BR group samples compared with the ALND and BR groups. In the LN and LN-BR groups, the cytokine profile showed an anti-inflammatory response. CONCLUSIONS: Transfer of healthy tissue hinders the proinflammatory response after surgery, which may explain the beneficial effects of flap transfer in various patient groups. In addition, flap transfer with lymph nodes seems to also promote an antifibrotic effect. The clinical effects of LN in lymphedema patients may be mediated by the increased production of prolymphangiogenic growth factor (VEGF-C) and antifibrotic cytokine (IL-10).

Work factors and stress: a critical review. Occupational stress research encompasses a very large and diversified field, yet the areas sometimes remain relatively distinct. In this review of the literature the authors shows that there have been numerous studies and conceptualizations of the effects of negative work factors on stress, but very few have placed the experience of stress in a comprehensive framework. Psychological approaches are presented and critically appraised as having several drawbacks, while it is argued that sociological approaches are essential to explaining the context of occupational stress. Labor process studies are closest to providing a comprehensive framework for understanding the causes and consequences of stress at work. The author develops an approach for extending labor process analysis to incorporate the effects on stress of management's control over work at a number of different levels of analysis, not only point of production activities.
