Impact of different types of olive oil on cardiovascular risk factors: A systematic review and network meta-analysis

Background and aimThis network meta-analysis (NMA) compares the effects of different types of olive oil (OO) on cardiovascular risk factors.Methods and resultsLiterature search was conducted on three electronic databases (Medline, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central). Inclusion criteria: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) (≥3 weeks duration of intervention) comparing at least two of the following types of OO: refined OO (ROO), mixed OO (MOO), low phenolic (extra) virgin OO (LP(E)VOO), and high phenolic (extra) virgin OO (HP(E)VOO). Random-effects NMA was performed for seven outcomes; and surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) was estimated, using an analytical approach (P-score). Thirteen RCTs (16 reports) with 611 mainly healthy participants (mean age: 26–70 years) were identified. No differences for total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triacylglycerols, and diastolic blood pressure were observed comparing ROO, MOO, LP(E)VOO and HP(E)VOO. HP(E)VOO slightly reduce LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) compared to LP(E)VOO (mean difference [MD]: −0.14 mmol/L, 95%–CI: −0.28, −0.01). Both, HP(E)VOO and LP(E)VOO reduces SBP compared to ROO (range of MD: −2.99 to −2.87 mmHg), and HP(E)VOO may improve oxidized LDL-cholesterol (oxLDL-C) compared to ROO (standardized MD: −0.68, 95%–CI: −1.31, −0.04). In secondary analyses, EVOO may reduce oxLDL-C compared to ROO, and a dose-response relationship between higher intakes of phenolic compounds from OO and lower SBP and oxLDL-C values was detected. HP(E)VOO was ranked as best treatment for LDL-C (P-score: 0.83), oxLDL-C (0.88), and SBP (0.75).ConclusionsHP(E)VOO may improve some cardiovascular risk factors, however, public health implications are limited by overall low or moderate certainty of evidence.     

Utility of the relative apparent diffusion coefficient for preoperative assessment of low risk endometrial carcinoma

ObjectivesLymphadenectomy is not recommended for low risk stage I endometrial carcinoma (EC) patients. This study was to investigate the predictive value of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in predicting patients with low risk EC, and to identify an optimum ADC measurement for preoperative assessment.Materials and methodsEighty-one patients with stage I EC who underwent diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) at 1.5T were included and divided into low group and intermediate-high risk group based on the ESMO-ESGO-ESTRO classification. Clinical indexes, conventional MRI parameters, minimum ADC values (minADC), mean ADC values (meanADC) and relative ADC values (rADC) were compared between those two groups. rADC was calculated using the equation ADC (cancer)/ADC (reference) with the obturator internus muscle as reference. The optimal ADC measurement and cut-off ADC value for low risk EC were calculated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.ResultsThe low risk group had significantly higher meanADC, minADC, and rADC values than did the intermediate-high risk group (1.095 vs. 0.902 × 10⁻³ mm²/s, 0.755 vs. 0.657 × 10⁻³ mm²/s, 0.754 vs. 0.603, respectively). In assessments of low risk EC patients, the area under the curve (AUC) values for meanADC, minADC, and rADC were 0.840 (95%CI, 0.749,0.931), 0.681 (95% CI: 0.561,0.800), and 0.876(95% CI: 0.798,0.954), respectively. The optimal cut-off rADC value for prediction was 0.669, the maximum Youden index, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy values were 0.683, 81.8%, 86.5%, and 84.0%, respectively.ConclusionsrADC is superior to minADC and meanADC for predicting patients with low risk EC, and could potentially aid to the surgical management of these patients in avoiding unnecessary lymphadenectomy.     

抗PD-(L)1、抗CTLA-4免疫治疗标志物研究进展

免疫检查点抑制剂已经改变了包括肺癌、黑色素瘤等许多肿瘤的治疗情况，并且在一些难治性肿瘤中表现出持久的应答率，然而在部分接受治疗的患者中表现出无反应及严重免疫相关副作用。为了优化免疫疗法的使用，可能需要多种临床应答的预测性标志物。本研究回顾了几种潜在有效生物标志物的可用数据，通过免疫组化检测肿瘤细胞和免疫细胞中PD-L1的表达，提示其是一种临床疗效的良好预测标志物;且PD-L1表达阴性者经免疫治疗后仍可获益。PD-L1表达在肿瘤内是动态和异质性的:在原发性灶和转移灶之间或在穿刺标本和大体标本之间表达不一致。肿瘤突变负荷与新抗原的高比率可获得持久获益。外周血标志物也可作为潜在标志物，增加的绝对淋巴细胞计数（ALC）与疾病控制和生存显著相关。在这篇综述中，我们旨在讨论抗PD-（L）1与抗CTLA-4 免疫治疗相关标志物研究现状，为临床运用提供指导，以便能够准确筛选出从这些治疗中获益更多的患者。

慢性鼻窦炎鼻息肉合并支气管哮喘患者鼻窦内镜术后对支气管哮喘疗效的影响

目的观察鼻窦内镜术(endoscopic sinu ssurgery，ESS)对慢性鼻窦炎伴支气管哮喘患者哮喘发作的影响。方法对210例慢性鼻窦炎患者施行ESS术，其中伴有支气管哮喘病史者42例(20．0％)。210例患者均于术前、术后采用酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA)检测外周血单个核细胞(PBMC)培养上清液中的白细胞介素4(IL-4)，干扰素γ(IFN-γ)，可溶性白细胞介素2受体(sIL-2R)和可溶性IgE低亲和力受体(solube CD23，sCD23)的含量，并与20例正常对照组进行比较。通过主观和客观标准评定42例患者哮喘发作及对皮质类固醇的耐受状况，并对术后患者进行为期1年(10例)和3年(32例)的随访。结果鼻窦炎合并支气管哮喘患者术前PBMC培养上清液中IL-4，sIL-2R、sCD23含量较对照组显著升高，而IFN-γ含量较对照组显著减少。术后IL-4、sIL-2R、sCD23含量较对照组显著降低，而IFN-γ含量显著增高。术后哮喘改善水平由随访术后1年的45％提高到术后3年的70％。42例中32例(76％)哮喘发作次数明显减少，术前长期服用类固醇的2l例中，14例(67％)减少了对口服类固醇的使用。结论ESS对慢性鼻窦炎伴支气管哮喘患者的治疗有较满意的远期疗效。ESS能调节IL-4、IFN-γ sIL-2R、sCD23水平，降低哮喘的发作频率和对类固醇的依赖。

小脑变性相关蛋白2 mRNA在癫痫患者脑组织中的表达及其临床意义

目的了解小脑变性相关蛋白2(CDR2)mRNA在癫痫(EP)患者脑组织中的表达及其临床意义。方法将48例EP患者分成耐药(40例)和非耐药(8例)两组,用基因芯片扫描和FQ-PCR分别检测脑组织中CDR2基因表达,并与对照组比较。结果基因芯片扫描提示CDR2 mRNA在EP患者与对照组中的表达差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。FQ-PCR结果与基因芯片扫描一致。结论EP患者脑组织中有CDR2 mRNA表达,由于其表达产物可通过血-脑脊液屏障进入脑脊液(CSF)和血液中,因而检测CDR2 mRNA在血或CSF中的表达产物有可能成为诊断EP的一个重要指标。
