question:
An association between obesity and otitis media with effusion (OME) has been previously reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between dietary intake and OME when adjusting obesity.', 'We analyzed the differences in dietary intake between children with/without OME who were 4 through 13 years of age using data from a large population-based survey - the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey - from 2008 through 2012. Data from 4359 participants were analyzed using simple and multiple logistic regression analyses with complex sampling.', 'The BMI category, the proportion of total calorie intake, protein intake, water intake, and Na intake (intake/recommendation), and the distribution of carbohydrate intake were not associated with OME. The distribution of fat intake was associated with OME (each 10% increase of fat calories/total calories: unadjusted odds ratio [OR]=1.331, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.016-1.744, P=0.038; age- and sex-adjusted OR=1.359, 95% CI=1.028-1.797, P=0.031; adjusted for age, sex and other factors OR=1.392, 95% CI=1.054-1.839, P=0.020). Based on BMI subgroup analysis, the distribution of fat intake was associated with OME in the healthy weight group (each 10% increase of fat calories/total calories: unadjusted OR=1.393, 95% CI=1.017-1.909, P=0.039; adjusted OR=1.470, 95% CI=1.051-2.055, P=0.024) but not in the obese group.
answer:
Is a high-fat diet associated with otitis media with effusion?


question:
To understand whether the relationship between young children's autonomic nervous system (ANS) responses predicted their BMI, or vice versa, the association between standardized BMI (zBMI) at 2, 3.5, and 5 years of age and ANS reactivity at 3.5-5 years of age, and whether zBMI predicts later ANS reactivity or whether early ANS reactivity predicts later zBMI, was studied.", "Low-income, primarily Latino children (n=112) were part of a larger cohort study of mothers recruited during early pregnancy. Study measures included maternal prenatal weight, children's health behaviors (i.e., time watching television, fast food consumption, and time playing outdoors), children's height and weight at 2, 3.5, and 5 years, and children's ANS reactivity at 3.5 and 5 years. ANS measures of sympathetic nervous system (i.e., pre-ejection period) and parasympathetic nervous system (i.e., respiratory sinus arrhythmia) activity were monitored during rest and four challenges. Reactivity was calculated as the difference between mean challenge response and rest. Structural equation models analyzed the relationship between children's zBMI at 2, 3.5, and 5 years and ANS reactivity at 3.5 and 5 years, adjusting for mother's BMI, children's behaviors, and changes in height.", 'There was no association between zBMI and ANS cross-sectionally. Children with high zBMI at 2 or 3.5 years or large zBMI increases from 2 to 3.5 years of age had decreased sympathetic activity at 5 years. Neither sympathetic nor parasympathetic reactivity at 3.5 years predicted later zBMI.
answer:
Does latino children 's body mass index at 2-3.5 years predict sympathetic nervous system activity at 5 years?


question:
Prostate cancer (PCa) is a leading cause of cancer-related death in men, which emphasizes the need for novel therapeutic approaches. Targeting microRNA (miRNA) has been considered as a therapeutic strategy against cancers. Human miR-204-5p potentially targeting BCL2 has been reported to be downregulated in various cancers. We hypothesized that miR-204-5p overexpression induces cancer cell apoptosis by repressing BCL2 expression.', 'A vector harboring mature miR-204-5p was constructed and delivered into human PCa cells. The expression level of miR-204-5p was determined by miRNA quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QPCR). Luciferase reporter assays were performed to verify the function of mature miR-204-5p and its direct binding to BCL2 transcripts. The expression levels of BCL-2 messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein samples were measured by QPCR and Western blot, respectively. Cell viability was detected by WST-1 assays. Induction of apoptosis was determined by increased levels of cleavage caspase 3 and caspase 3/7 activity.', "The expression levels of miR-204-5p were downregulated in PCa cells compared with normal prostate epithelial cells. Transfection of pSM-204 resulted in up to 6.2-fold higher expression of miR-204-5p when compared with pSM control. The mRNA levels of several potential target genes of miR-204-5p were decreased in pSM-204-transfected PC3 and Rv1 cells. BCL2 mRNA and protein expression decreased in miR-204-5p-transfected cells, which led to cytochrome C release from mitochondria. It subsequently increased cleaved caspase 3 and caspase 3/7 activities and reduced cell viability. Cotransfection of a reporter vector harboring the BCL2 3'-untranslated region to compete with endogenous transcripts partially rescued miR-204-5p-induced apoptosis.
answer:

Does tumor suppressor miRNA-204-5p promote apoptosis by targeting BCL2 in prostate cancer cells?
