Title: Differentiating the effects of whey protein and guar gum preloads on postprandial glycemia in type 2 diabetes

Background and aimsWhey protein and guar gum have both been reported to reduce postprandial glycemia in health and type 2 diabetes, associated with stimulation of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and/or slowing of gastric emptying. Our aim was to evaluate, in type 2 diabetes, the acute effects of low dose “preloads” of whey and guar, given alone or in combination before a meal, on postprandial glycemia, insulin, GLP-1, and gastric emptying.Methods21 patients with type 2 diabetes, managed by diet or metformin alone, were each studied on 4 days. They received a preload “shake” 15min before a mashed potato meal (368.5 kcal) labeled with ¹³C-octanoic-acid. The preloads comprised either (i) 17 g whey (W), (ii) 5 g guar (G), (iii) 17 g whey + 5 g guar (WG) each sweetened with 60 mg sucralose, and (iv) 60 mg sucralose alone (control; C), all dissolved in 150 mL water. Venous blood was sampled frequently for measurements of glucose, insulin, and GLP-1 concentrations. Gastric half-emptying time (T50) was calculated from breath ¹³CO₂ excretion over 240 min.ResultsPostprandial blood glucose concentrations were lower with W and WG compared to C (each P < 0.0001, treatment × time interaction), and lower after G than C only at 30min. Insulin, GLP-1, and glucagon concentrations were higher after W than WG, G, or C (P < 0.05, treatment × time interaction), without differences between the latter three. Gastric emptying was slower with W (T50: 179.6 ± 6.1 min, P < 0.05) and WG (T50: 197.6 ± 9.7 min, P < 0.0001) when compared to C (T50: 162.9 ± 6.2 min), but did not differ between G (T50: 171.3 ± 7.0) and C (P > 0.99).ConclusionBoth whey and whey/guar preloads reduced postprandial glycemia, associated with slowing of gastric emptying. Low dose guar was less effective as a preload for glucose-lowering and did not slow gastric emptying.Clinical Trial Registry number and websiteAustralian and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry, Trial ID ACTRN12615001272583, http://www.anzctr.org.au     

连续性肾脏替代治疗联合中药灌肠对急性肾损伤患者尿KIM-1、NGAL水平的影响

目的:探讨连续性肾脏替代治疗(CRRT)联合中药灌肠对重症急性肾损伤患者尿肾损伤分子-1(KIM-1)、中性粒细胞明胶酶相关脂质运载蛋白(NGAL)水平和预后的影响。方法:回顾性分析89例重症急性肾损伤患者临床资料,依据不同治疗方式分为对照组43例和研究组46例,对照组采用CRRT治疗,研究组采用CRRT联合中药灌肠治疗。比较两组尿量恢复时间、重症医学科(ICU)住院时间、治疗前后肾功能、尿KIM-1、NGAL水平,序贯器官衰竭估计评分(SOFA)、急性生理与慢性健康评分表(APACHEⅡ)评分和预后情况。结果:研究组尿量恢复时间、ICU住院时间均少于对照组(P<0.05)。治疗前,两组肾功能、尿KIM-1、NGAL水平,SOFA、APACHEⅡ评分比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05); 治疗后,两组肾功能指标、尿KIM-1、NGAL水平,SOFA、APACHEⅡ评分均较治疗前下降,研究组低于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。研究组死亡率较对照组低(P<0.05)。结论:CRRT联合中药灌肠能够促进重症急性肾损伤患者肾功能的恢复,降低尿KIM-1、NGAL水平,改善预后。

微小RNA-148a-3p靶向调控MAP3K9表达及对胃癌细胞增殖和凋亡的影响

目的 探讨微小RNA-148a-3p（miR-148a-3p）对丝裂原活化蛋白激酶激酶激酶9（MAP3K9）的靶向调控作用及对胃癌细胞增殖和凋亡的影响。方法 向对数生长期胃癌细胞株MGC-803转染miR-148a-3p模拟物（mimics组）和阴性对照（NC组），以未转染的MGC-803细胞为对照组；采用实时定量PCR（QPCR）检测各组miR-148a-3p水平以评价转染效率，MTT法检测各组细胞增殖能力，流式细胞术检测各组细胞凋亡情况，分别采用QPCR和Western blotting检测Bcl-2、Bax、caspase-3及MAP3K9 mRNA和蛋白水平，同时采用双荧光素酶报告实验验证miR-148a-3p与MAP3K9的靶向作用关系。结果 QPCR结果显示，对照组、NC组和mimics组的miR-148a-3p水平分别为1.021±0.123、1.087±0.196和2.854±0.368，与对照组和NC组比较，mimics组的miR-148a-3p水平升高（P＜0.05）。mimics组MGC-803细胞的增殖活力较其余两组减弱（P＜0.05）。mimics组MGC-803细胞凋亡率为（15.2±1.6）％，高于对照组的（3.5±0.9％）％和NC组的（4.5±1.1）％，差异具有统计学意义（P＜0.05）。与对照组和NC组比较，mimics组的MAP3K9和Bcl-2的mRNA和蛋白水平均下调，而Bax和caspase-3的mRNA和蛋白水平均上调（P＜0.05）；双荧光素酶报告实验证实MAP3K9是miR-148a-3p的直接作用靶点。结论 MiR-148a-3p可抑制胃癌细胞MGC-803的增殖并诱导其凋亡，可能通过靶向MAP3K9来发挥抑癌作用，调控miR-148a-3p／MAP3K9轴在胃癌防治中有一定应用前景。     

Moderate protection is induced by a chimeric protein composed of leucine aminopeptidase and cathepsin L1 against Fasciola hepatica challenge in sheep

Leucine aminopeptidase (FhLAP) and cathepsin L1 (FhCL1) of Fasciola hepatica play a critical role in parasite feeding, migration through host tissue, and immune evasion. These antigens have been tested for immune protection as single components with variable degrees of success. The chimeric-protein approach could improve protection levels against fasciolosis. Previously, we reported the design and construction of a chimeric protein composed of antigenic sequences of FhLAP and FhCL1 of F. hepatica. The goal of the present study was to express and evaluate the immune-protective capacity of this chimeric protein (rFhLAP-CL1) in sheep. Animals were randomly allocated into five groups with five animals in each group. Groups 1, 2 and 3 were immunized twice with 100 μg, 200 μg and 400 μg of rFhLAP-CL1 emulsified with Quil A adjuvant, whereas groups 4 and 5 were the adjuvant control and infection control groups, respectively. The animals were then challenged with 200 metacercariae two weeks after the rFhLAP-CL1 booster. The fluke burden was reduced by 25.5%, 30.7% (p < 0.05) and 46.5% (p < 0.01) in sheep immunized with 100 μg, 200 μg and 400 μg of chimeric protein, respectively, in comparison to the infection control group. There was a reduction of 22.7% (p < 0.05) and 24.4% (p < 0.01) in fecal egg count in groups 2 and 3, respectively, compared to the infection control group. Sheep immunized with chimeric protein produced F. hepatica excretion-secretion product-specific total IgG antibody, which were increased after challenge. Moreover, the levels of rFhLAP-CL1-specific IgG1 and IgG2 isotypes in immunized sheep increased rapidly two weeks after the first immunization and were significantly more elevated than those of the control groups, indicating a mixed Th1/Th2 response. This is a preliminary evaluation of the chimeric protein rFhLAP-CL1 as a possible immunogen against F. hepatica infection in sheep.
