Background
In liver cirrhosis, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system is involved in the pathogenesis of portal hypertension. Its effector, angiotensin II, is generated by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Serum ACE levels are affected by I/D polymorphism of its gene, with alleles I and D being associated, respectively, with lesser and greater activity of the enzyme. In cirrhotic patients carrying the ACE I allele, an increased risk for gastro-oesophageal varices was observed.Aim
The aim of our study was to evaluate whether ACE I/D polymorphism influenced portal pressure.Methods
Fifty-one consecutive cirrhotic patients were divided based on ACE genotype (DD, ID, and II). Kidney and liver function tests, upper endoscopy, and hepatic venous pressure gradient measurement (HVPG) were performed in all patients.Results
The presence of the ACE I allele was associated with a higher HVPG value (18.7 ± 6.4 vs 10.3 ± 6.3 mmHg; P < .001), higher frequency of large gastrooesophageal varices (59.3% vs 25.0%; P < .05), and higher frequency of variceal bleeding (63.0% vs 29.2%; P < .05). No significant differences were found between patients with and those without the ACE I allele regarding Child-Pugh score, MELD score, ascites, and hepatic encephalopathy.Conclusion
ACE I/D polymorphism seems to influence the severity of portal hypertension and the risk of variceal bleeding in liver cirrhosis, regardless of the severity of liver disease. 相似文献3.

Objective
To develop a multivariable clinical prediction model for the requirement of aggressive immunosuppression with cytostatics, based on simple clinical record data and lab tests. The model is defined in accordance with the result of the kidney biopsies.Methods
Retrospective study conducted with data from patients 16 years and older, with SLE and nephritis with less than 6 months of evolution. An initial bivariate analysis was conducted to select the variables to be included in a multiple logistic regression model. Goodness of fit was evaluated using a Hosmer–Lemeshow test (H–L) and the discrimination capacity of the model by means of the area under the ROC (AUC) curve.Results
Data from 242 patients was gathered; of these, 18.2% (n = 44) did not need an addition of cytostatics according to the findings of their kidney biopsies. The variables included in the final model were 24-h proteinuria, diastolic blood pressure, creatinine, C3 complement and the interaction of hematuria with leukocyturia in urinary sediment. The model showed excellent discrimination (AUC = 0.929; 95% CI = 0.894–0.963) and adequate calibration (H–L, P = .959).Conclusion
In recent-onset LN patients, the decision to use or not to use intensive immunosuppressive therapy could be performed based on our prediction model as an alternative to kidney biopsies. 相似文献4.

Aim
Real-world effectiveness of insulin therapy is affected by poor treatment persistence, often occurring soon after initiation. An international cross-sectional survey of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been conducted to describe reasons for non-persistence with insulin therapy.Methods
Responders to an online survey in 7 countries were classified as continuers (no gap of ≥7 days), interrupters (interrupted therapy for ≥7 days within first 6 months, then restarted), and discontinuers (terminated therapy for ≥7 days within first 6 months, no restart before survey). We present the results from the United Kingdom (UK) cohort.Results
Of 942 global respondents, 131 were from the UK, having a mean age of 37 years and a mean of 7 years since first T2DM diagnosis. Reasons contributing to insulin continuation (n = 50) were improved physical feeling (52.0%) and improved glycemic control (48.0%). Common reasons for interruption (n = 50) or discontinuation (n = 31), respectively were weight gain (50.0%, 48.4%) and hypoglycemia (38.0%, 25.8%). Most important reason for possible re-initiation for interrupters and discontinuers, respectively was persuasion by physician/healthcare professional (74.0%, 64.5%).Conclusion
The benefits of basal insulin therapy motivated continuers to persist with the treatment; experienced or anticipated side effects contributed to interruption and discontinuation. 相似文献5.

Aim
Depression is prevalent in patients with type 2 diabetes. It may have a negative impact on the management of diabetes mellitus and could affect weight. The main aim of the investigation was to evaluate the effect of antidepressant treatment (sertraline) on anthropometric variables and glycemic control in depressed type 2 diabetic patients.Methods
Thirty three type 2 diabetic outpatients depressed received open-label sertraline therapy for up to 12 weeks. Clinical outcome measures included the 17-item Hamilton depression rating. Changes in the anthropometrics variables were evaluated by measuring weight, waist circumference and by calculating body mass index at three, six and 12 weeks of treatment. In addition, fasting, postprandial plasma glucose level, glycosylated hemoglobin-A 1C measures, lipid and renal profile were obtained before and during sertraline therapy.Results
Weight decreased significantly (?2 kg; p = 0.000) and body mass index decreased from 30.41 kg/m2 to 29.6 kg/m2 (p = 0.000). Patients lost on average seven centimeters in waist circumference (p = 0.000). We also observed a modest, non-significant reduction in fasting, postprandial and glycosylated hemoglobin. We observed a significant reduction in mean score according to the Hamilton depression scale (p = 0.000)Conclusion
Our study results suggested that sertraline produced a benefic effect on weight, body mass index and waist circumference at 12-week follow up. 相似文献6.
Objective
To assess the impact of providing integrated psycho-socio-economic support to drug resistant tuberculosis (DRTB) patients on the treatment outcome under programmatic conditions.Study design
Retrospective cohort study.Setting
An urban district TB centre in India under the Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme.Participants
A cohort of 123 patients who started DRTB treatment between June 2010 and May 2013.Methods
Patients started on treatment for DRTB between June 2010 and May 2013 who were provided with the integrated support package for at least 3 months formed the supported group while the other patients of the cohort formed the non-supported group. The treatment outcomes and sputum culture conversion rates were compared between the two groups.Results
The supported group consisted of 60 patients and the non-supported group of 63 patients. The treatment success rate was found to be significantly higher in the supported group (65% vs 46.03%; p = 0.0349). Support duration was significantly associated with lower incidence of death [HR 0.876, 95% CI 0.811–0.947; p = 0.0009] and loss to follow up [OR: 0.752, 95% CI 0.597–0.873; p = 0.0023]. The treatment failure rate was higher in the supported group (16.66% vs 4.76%) with 60% of the failures in the supported group occurring after 24 months of compliant treatment. There was no significant association found between support duration and treatment failure or sputum culture conversion.Conclusion
Integrated support seems to significantly increase the treatment success rate and improve survival and treatment adherence of DRTB patients. However, early diagnosis and effective pharmacotherapy are crucial for reducing treatment failures. 相似文献7.

Introduction
Conservative Management (CM) has become a therapeutic option in Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease in the elderly. However, there is a lack of evidence about prognosis of these patients in terms of survival and health related quality of life (HRQoL).Objective
Establish predictive variables associated with mortality and analyse HRQoL in CM patients.Patients and methods
Prospective cohort study. An assessment of renal function parameters and a comprehensive geriatric assessment were made, including: analysis of comorbidity, functional, cognitive, fragility, nutritional, social and HRQoL status.Results
82 patients with a mean age of 84 years and significant pluripathology were studied: 56% had history of vascular event and Charlson > 8. The mortality rate was 23/1,000 patients per month, with a homogeneous mortality rate after 6 months.Survival differed significantly depending on whether they presented with a previous vascular event (36.7 vs. 14.8; p = 0.028), Charlson score ≥ 10 (42 vs. 17; p = 0.002), functional status (48.4 vs. 19; p = 0.002) and fragility (27 vs. 10; p = 0.05).Mortality predictors included eGFR and proteinuria, the presence of previous vascular events, Charlson comorbidity score, malnutrition-inflammation parameters (albumin and MNA score), degree of dependency, physical HRQoL and increase of PTH level. The presence of previous vascular event, comorbidity, decreased albumin and elevated PTH were independent predictors of mortality. HRQoL remained stable over time and no significant worsening occurred during treatment.Conclusions
Having knowledge of the factors associated with mortality and HRQoL assessment can be a useful tool to helping decision making during CM. Previous vascular events, comorbidity, decreased albumin and increased PTH were independent predictors of mortality. 相似文献8.

Aim
To prospectively evaluate interferences between viruses of the upper respiratory tract in asymptomatic preschool children.Methods
Nasal-pharyngeal swabs from 233 preschool aged children were prospectively collected over four consecutive time periods, during one school year. The samples were tested using a RT-PCR DNA/RNA microarray system for nine respiratory viruses.Results
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was a predictor of the presence of influenza virus (INFL) (OR: 9.12, CI: 1.52–54.75, p = 0.016), and similarly, INFL predicted the presence of RSV (OR: 4.01, CI: 1.14–14.16, p = 0.030). Also, rhinovirus (RV) was a predictor of adenovirus (ADV) presence (OR: 3.66, CI: 1.10–12.14, p = 0.034), and similarly, ADV predicted the presence of RV (OR: 4.05, CI: 1.02–16.05, p = 0.046). No other significant associations between viruses were observed.Conclusion
Our results indicate that respiratory viruses found in carrier stage in asymptomatic children may interact with other viruses and even facilitate their settling in the upper respiratory tract. The pathophysiological role of these interactions is not yet clear. 相似文献9.

Introduction and objectives
The reproducibility of the adverse reaction increases the suggestiveness of a history of food allergy. However, the positive predictive value (PPV) of multiple adverse reaction episodes for the diagnosis of IgE-mediated food allergy is not known. This evaluation was the objective of our study.Patients and methods
We retrospectively studied 180 children with a history of non-anaphylactic adverse reactions after the ingestion of a food. All children had the prick test positive for the offending food and performed the oral food challenge (OFC) within 12 months after the last adverse reaction episode (ARE). We have evaluated whether increasing the number of ARE increased the probability that the OFC would be positive (failed).Results
93 patients (52%) presented one ARE, 49 (27%) presented two ARE, 24 (13%) presented three ARE, 14 (8%) patients presented ≥ four ARE. The OFC was positive in 94/180 (52%). The outcome of the OFC was found to be positively correlated with the number of ARE (OR = 1.56; 95% CI = 1.16–2.09; p = 0.003). A PPV = 100% was observed with a number of ARE ≥ five.Conclusions
The number of ARE is an important predictor of the diagnosis of food allergy, although less than we would have imagined. The number of ARE could be used to increase the predictability of the diagnostic tests currently in use, to define clinical prediction rules alternative to OFC and easy to use in clinical practice. 相似文献10.

Introduction and objectives
Drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) are the adverse effects of drugs that, when taken at doses generally tolerated by normal subjects, clinically resemble allergy. We aimed to assess the prevalence of self-reported DHRs among Lithuanian children and adults and to identify possible risk factors.Materials and methods
A cross-sectional survey of a population visiting their general practitioners in Vilnius and Kaunas regions of Lithuania was performed. Thirty-five questions on drug allergy symptoms, in addition, food, pollen allergy and family history were included.Results
3222 (60.0%) children and 2148 (40.0%) adults were included in the study. 7.9% of children and 13.8% of adults reported a DHR for at least one drug (p < 0.001). 69.8% of children and 47.3% of adults, who indicated DHRs, had skin symptoms. Rate of anaphylaxis was similar in both groups (about 10%). 4.5% of children and 7.3% of adults had DHRs induced by antibiotics and this was the most implicated group of drugs. Significant self-reported risk factors for DHRs were family history of DHRs (OR = 6.007, 95%CI 4.756–7.587), pollen allergy (OR = 2.0, 95%CI 1.573–2.544), food allergy (OR = 1.92, 95%CI 1.505–2.448), female gender (OR = 1.439, 95%CI 1.187–1.744) and age (OR = 1.017 in favour of adults, 95%CI 1.013–1.021).Conclusions
The prevalence of self-reported DHRs in Lithuania is higher among adults than children. Drug-induced skin reactions were the predominant symptom in both groups. Besides female gender and age, a positive family history of DHR and presence of pollen or food allergy may be associated with DHR. 相似文献11.
Background
Quality of life, which is impaired in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), is influenced by comorbid mental disorders. Headaches could be another comorbid mental disorder that affects quality of life in children with CSU.Objectives
To investigate the effect of headaches on urticaria symptoms, disease activity and quality of life in children with CSU.Methods
A total of 83 patients with CSU were enrolled in the study and were separated into two groups as those with or without headache. Demographic and clinical characteristics were studied with the Urticaria Activity Score (UAS7), Urticaria Control test (UCT) and Chronic Urticaria Quality of Life Questionnaire (CU-Q2QoL). The headache questionnaire designed according to the Department of International Classification of Headache Disorders, second edition (ICHD-II) was used and VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) and NRS (Numerical Rating Scale) were used to assess the pain measurement. In patients diagnosed with migraine, the paediatric Migraine Disability Assessment Scale (PedMIDAS) was applied.Results
CU-QoL total scores were significantly higher in patients with CSU with headache than in those without headache (p = 0.015). In the five domains of CU-QoL, impact of daily life activities domain and sleep problems domain had higher scores in CSU with headache (p = 0.008, 0.028, respectively). There was no significant relationship between UCT, UAS and CU-QoL and headache severity (p < 0.05). No differences were found between the groups in respect of duration of urticaria, UAS7 and UCT.Conclusion
Headache may be an important factor that affects and impairs quality of life in children with chronic urticaria. 相似文献12.

Introduction
Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common endocrine disorder characterised by hypercalcaemia and parathormone increase. Decreased glomerular filtration rate (< 60 ml/min) continues to be a parathyroidectomy (PTX) criterion in asymptomatic PHPT. The influence of PTX on renal function evolution is the subject of debate.Objective
To analyse the clinical, laboratory and histological characteristics of patients undergoing PHPT, as well as renal function evolution after PTX.Material and methods
Retrospective study of 297 patients diagnosed with PHPT and referred to surgery in a single centre between 1998 and 2016. Laboratory parameters were determined at baseline, one week and one year after PTX.Results
The Incidence of PTX was 38 cases/million/year. Mean age was 60 ± 14 years and 80.5% of the patients were female. Approximately 65.3% were asymptomatic. Nephrolithiasis was the most common clinical finding (33%), followed by bone involvement (29.5%). PTX indications were: clinical symptoms (34.7%), hypercalcaemia > 11.2 mg/dl (27%), nephrolithiasis (13%), low bone mass (12%), age < 50 years (11%) and decreased glomerular filtration rate < 60 ml/min (2.3%).For diagnostic localisation, spect-MIBI had a sensitivity of 92% and cervical ultrasound of 70%. A total of 94.3% of PHPT cases were due to a parathyroid adenoma.After PTX, normalisation of PHPT-related parameters was observed. We found a significant increase in serum creatinine levels (0.81 vs 0.85 mg/dl, P < .001) from the first week post-PTX until the end of the first year. The renal function was only found to be significant in patients with glomerular filtration rate > 60 ml/min (baseline serum creatinine levels 0.77 mg/dl vs serum creatinine levels after one year 0.81 mg/dl, P < .001).Conclusions
PHPT was asymptomatic in most patients who underwent surgery. Hypercalcaemia and nephrolithiasis were the most common indications of parathyroidectomy in asymptomatic patients. MIBI scan was the most useful localisation method. Surgical treatment of PHPT is followed by renal function impairment, which persists after the first week post-PTX. 相似文献13.

Introduction
There is accumulated evidence supporting a beneficial role of Mediterranean diet (MD) in the control of asthma symptoms. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between adherence to MD and serum levels of certain cytokines namely, interleukin (IL)-4, and IL-17 known to have a pathogenetic role in the airway changes associated with asthma.Methods
We measured serum IL-4, IL-33, and IL-17, in 44 asthmatic and 26 healthy children, 5–15 years old. Their adherence to MD was estimated with the Mediterranean Diet Quality Index for children and adolescents (KIDMED) score.Results
KIDMED score did not differ between the two groups (P = 0.59) and was not correlated with any of the three measured cytokines. However, when the analysis was restricted only to asthmatic children, the KIDMED score was correlated with IL-4, IL-33, and IL-17 (Beta: ?0.56, P = 0.007; Beta: 0.57, P = 0.010; Beta: ?0.62, P = 0.017, respectively).Conclusion
Our results indicate that MD can modulate the production of some of the main inflammatory mediators of asthma, in asthmatic children. 相似文献14.

Background
Sirolimus is a mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor used after organ transplantation and to treat vascular malformations. Among its adverse effects, limb lymphedema has been described.Objective
The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical features, lymphoscintigraphy and lymphedema outcome in patients treated with sirolimus.Patients and methods
Monocentric retrospective study from January 2008 to September 2017 analyzing all consecutive patients having lymphedema occurring with sirolimus.Results
Fifteen patients (7 men, 8 women), mean age at the first visit, 56 years (range: 38–76), had a kidney transplant (n = 12), liver transplant (n = 1), or lymphangioleiomyomatosis (n = 2) treated with sirolimus at a mean daily dose of 1.8 mg were included. Lymphedema involved one (n = 4), or both (n = 1) lower limbs, upper limb (n = 9), lower limbs and upper limb (n = 1). Lymphedema affected the whole limb (n = 10), or the distal part (n = 5). The median time between lymphedema onset and the beginning of sirolimus was 52 weeks (range: 8–232). Lymphoscintigraphy in 7 patients (lower limb: 3, superior: 4) showed no inguinal or axillary nodal fixation (n = 6) or decreased uptake (n = 1). Sirolimus was discontinued in 7 cases without lymphedema improvement with a median follow-up of 12 months and maintained in 8 cases.Conclusion
Sirolimus is associated with upper and/or lower limb lymphedema, without predominance of sex, and without disappearance after sirolimus discontinuation. Pathophysiological mechanisms remain unclear. Lymphedema management is based on low-stretch bandages and compression. 相似文献15.
Aim
To investigate the demographic and clinico-radiological characteristic of patients of tuberculosis presented with pneumothorax in relation to the patients of active pulmonary tuberculosis.Material and Methods
The retrospective study was conducted between January 2013 to June 2014 and records of 78 patients of pulmonary tuberculosis with pneumothorax (TP) and 156 patients of pulmonary tuberculosis without pneumothorax (NPT) were analyzed. Demographic, etiologic, clinical, radiographic, and outcome data were collected.Results
The mean age of tuberculous pneumothorax patients was 38.0 ± 14.3 years and that of non-pneumothorax was 39.5 ± 12.3 years. Most common presenting clinical feature was cough (76.9%) followed by dyspnoea (74.4%), chest pain (64.0%) and fever (56.4%) in TP patients. Chest radiograph showed cavity in 38 (48.7%) TP patients followed by consolidation in 32 (41.0%) patients and infiltration in 33 (42.3%) patients. All the TP patients had undergone underwater seal intercostal tube drainage procedure for the management of pneumothorax. The mean duration between chest drain insertion and removal was 17.14 ± 6.37 days. Twenty-five (32.1%) of the cases developed chest tube drainage related complications.Conclusion
Patients of tuberculous pneumothorax required prolonged period of chest tube drainage and usually showed good response to the treatment. 相似文献16.

Introduction
We aimed to assess the effectiveness of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and subclinical target organ damage parameters for diagnosis of resistant hypertension (RH).Methods
We assessed demographic and anthropometric variables, the incidence of cardiovascular events and subclinical target organ damage (n = 112). We also studied the relationship between these variables and the ABPM results.Results
Of the 112 patients referred from primary care with a diagnosis of RH, 69 (61.6%) were confirmed by ABPM. We found statistically significant differences (P < .001) between patients with RH and pseudo-resistant hypertension in the appearance of subclinical target organ damage. A percentage of 84 of the patients had microalbuminuria: 66.25 ± 30.7 mg/dl); 44.9% had stage 3 chronic kidney disease: the average glomerular filtration was 59 ml/min/1.73 m2; and 56.5% had left ventricular hypertrophy on echocardiography. Fundoscopy revealed that 64% of the patients had hypertensive retinopathy. Three variables were associated with an increased HR risk: microalbuminuria, hypertensive retinopathy and left ventricular hypertrophy (OR 5.7, 6.2 and 11.2, respectively).Conclusions
This study shows that the systematic testing for target organ damage, particularly in terms of albuminuria, is a simple and inexpensive tool, with a high predictive value for RH (85%), which could be useful for prioritising patients who need ABPM. 相似文献17.

Background
Atopic dermatitis is a common illness in childhood. Children with atopic dermatitis are prone to develop cutaneous sensitization due to skin barrier dysfunction.Aim
The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of cutaneous sensitizations in patients with atopic dermatitis and to identify the most frequent causative allergens.Study design
The study group consisted of 112 children with atopic dermatitis, aged 1–18 years (median 88.5 months) and 39 healthy controls, aged 1–8 years (median 88.48 months).Methods
The diagnosis of atopic dermatitis was established by modified Hanifin and Rajka criteria; severity of the disease was assessed by scoring of atopic dermatitis. Serum blood eosinophil count, total IgE and skin prick tests for common aeroallergens and food allergens were performed. Patch tests with cosmetic series and European standard patch test series (Stallegenes© Ltd, Paris, France) were applied.Results
Of the children with atopic dermatitis, 17% (n = 19) were sensitized to either cosmetic or standard series or both of them; no children in the control group had a positive patch test (p = 0.001). Atopy and severity of atopic dermatitis was not a significant risk factor for cutaneous sensitization. The most common allergens were Nickel sulphate and Methychloroisothiazinolone (4.5% and 4.5%) in the European standard patch test and cocamidoproplybetaine (12.5%) in the cosmetic series patch test.Conclusion
Cutaneous sensitization can develop in children with atopic dermatitis, therefore allergic contact dermatitis should be kept in mind. 相似文献18.

Background
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious bacterial disease; remains as one of the important public health problem affecting every part of the world. Substantial number of TB cases are reported from Sri Lanka every year irrespective of its strong preventive health system. The aim of this analysis is to describe the characteristics of TB patients and to assess the factors associated with sputum conversion. This analysis was based on the data from the District Chest Clinic of Kalutara district, Sri Lanka.Methods
Information of all newly diagnosed and registered patients in the District Chest Clinic, Kalutara in year 2013 were ascertained. Out of 687 newly reported TB patients, 669 records were included in final analysis.Results
Majority of patients were males (n = 451, 67.4%), in the age group of 36–60 years (n = 306, 45.7%) and underweight (n = 359, 61.7%). Substantial proportion of normal weight or overweight adult patients (92.1%) had sputum conversion at 2–3 months as compared to underweight adult patients (82.5%) (p = 0.034). Those who smoke tobacco is less likely to have sputum conversion at 2–3 months as compared to non-smokers (90.2% vs. 82.1%, p = 0.045).Conclusion
Provision of good nutrition, maintaining of appropriate body mass index (i.e., BMI), and abstinence from smoking and alcohol consumption are important for sputum conversion among smear-positive pulmonary TB patients. 相似文献20.
