Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a frequent health problem. Gut parasites such as N. americanus and A. duodenale are known to cause blood loss, but the role of Blastocystis hominis is uncertain. In this study, 212 patients (193 female, 19 male, mean age 41 SD 15 yrs) with IDA were enrolled and 90 persons without IDA (78 female, 12 male, mean age 45 SD 17 yrs). Microscopic examination of stools for B. hominis using the native lugol method was done three times on each subject. If any specimen contained five or more cysts per x400 field, the person was considered positive. B. hominis was found in 48 out of 212 subjects with IDA (22.6%) and in five of 90 (5.6%) subjects without IDA. This difference is highly statistically significant (P < 0.001). Few subjects had other gut parasites and there was no statistical difference in the ir frequencies between IDA and non-IDA subjects. Blastocystis hominis may play a role in the development of IDA either on its own or in conjunction with some other agent. 相似文献

Oxidative stress is suspected to intervene in certain chronic diseases. Much research has been devoted to the relationship between vitamin E, a major lipid-soluble antioxidant, and certain widespread diseases. Experimental and epidemiological proof supports a protective effect of vitamin E in a number of pathological processes such as coronary heart disease, cancer, cataract, diabetes mellitus, and Alzheimer disease. Randomized clinical trials have not confirmed a beneficial effect of vitamin E supplementation on the progression of these diseases. Certain methodological biases could however have affected these studies, explaining conflicting results. These biases include inaccuracy of vitamin E intake estimates and changes in eating habits during the course of the survey. An insufficient supplementation period using an insufficient dose and inclusion of aged and high-risk patients are the main limitations of the reported clinical trials. Large scale randomized clinical trials including healthy and low-risk subjects, along with prolonged administration of high-dose natural vitamin E, associated with synergetic compounds, and testing on morphological or biological features, will allow a better understanding of the relationship between vitamin E and chronic diseases. 相似文献

SIR, We read with interest Whittle and Hughes's review concerningmethotrexate (MTX) and supplementation with folate in the treatmentof rheumatoid arthritis (RA), in which concomitant folate administrationis demonstrated to be useful to reduce MTX adverse effects,as proven in numerous trials [1]. Nevertheless, there are conflictingopinions on the real benefits of folate supplementation andno guidelines exist regarding doses and timing of its use [1].In our opinion, low doses of MTX, without concomitant 相似文献

Objectives: Iron deficiency is common in obese children although the underlying mechanism is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between iron parameters, leptin, hepcidin and adiponectin levels in obese children.Methods: A total of 237 children, ranging in age from 5 to 18 years, 180 with primary obesity and 57 healthy children and adolescents, were enrolled. Complete blood count, serum iron levels, iron-binding capacity, ferritin levels, leptin, hepcidin and adiponectin levels were studied.Results: White blood cell and platelet count, iron-binding capacity, high-sensitive C-reactive protein, leptin and hepcidin values in the obese group were higher than those of the control group (p?0.001, p?=?0.002, p?0.001, p?0.001, p?0.001 and p?0.001, respectively). However, mean corpuscular volume, adiponectin and transferrin saturation values in the obese group were lower than in the control group (p?=?0.026, p?=?0.003, and p?0.001, respectively). No significant differences were found in terms of hemoglobin, serum ferritin, iron and IL-6 levels.Conclusions: Our study suggests that hepcidin levels do not contribute to the development of iron deficiency anemia in pediatric obese individuals. 相似文献

Factor VII (fVII) deficiency is a rare congenital bleeding disorder in which fVII activity level and bleeding tendency do not completely correlate. Pregnancy and delivery present a significant haemostatic challenge to women with fVII deficiency. Treatment with recombinant factor VIIa (rfVIIa) carries a thrombotic risk and the literature is not clear whether prophylaxis is necessary prior to delivery. The aim of this study was to define management, haemorrhagic and thrombotic complications of pregnant women with fVII deficiency through a systematic review. Medical databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Academic Search Premier, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Scopus) were searched using “factor VII deficiency” and “pregnancy” or “surgery.” Overall 34 articles, four abstracts, and three institutional cases were reviewed. Literature from 1953 to 2011 reported 94 live births from 62 women with fVII deficiency. The median fVII activity was 5.5%. Haemostatic prophylaxis was used in 32% of deliveries. Without prophylaxis, 40 vaginal deliveries and 16 caesarean sections were completed. The odds of receiving prophylaxis were 2.9 times higher in women undergoing caesarean section compared to vaginal delivery. Post‐partum haemorrhage occurred in 10% of deliveries with prophylaxis and 13% of deliveries without prophylaxis. The fVII level did not significantly differ between women who did and did not receive prophylaxis. We present the only systematic review of the management of pregnancy in fVII deficient women. No difference in post‐partum haemorrhage was seen in deliveries with and without prophylaxis. Therefore, we recommend that rfVIIa be available in the case of haemorrhage or surgical intervention, but not as mandatory prophylaxis. 相似文献

Here we report on a patient with a primary hepatocellular carcinoma in a non-cirrhotic liver, in whom heterozygosity for an AAT-deficiency allele was found (PiMZ). Based on this observation and the current literature, the possible mechanisms for an eventual contribution of a heterozygosity of a heterozygous AAT-deficiency for a hepatocellular carcinoma are discussed. Alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT)-deficiency (Laurell-Eriksson syndrome) is a genetic disorder, in which individuals who are homozygous for a deficiency allele are at an increased lifetime risk for pulmonary emphysema, liver cirrhosis, and primary hepatocellular carcinoma. It has been controversially discussed whether the heterozygous form (PiMZ) is also associated with an increased risk for liver diseases. Hepatocarcinogenesis for AAT-deficiency is probably based on a series of toxic events. Precipitation of AAT aggregates in hepatocytes is the initial step. These accumulate in the endoplasmic reticulum and cannot be eliminated from all hepatocytes by proteasomal and non-proteasomal mechanisms. AAT aggregates induce proinflammatory pathways and may be a stimulus for hepatocarcinogenesis. This hypothesis is based mostly on studies of individuals homozygous for a deficiency allele (PiZZ). The mechanism may also play a role in heterozygous patients. Since not all patients with precipitates of AAT-aggregates are develop a hepatocellular carcinoma related comorbidities such as chronic hepatitis B, C, chronic alcohol abuse, or so far unknown genetic and environmental factors may be crucial. 相似文献

INTRODUCTION: Previous studies have suggested that iron deficiency could be due to atrophic gastritis of the body/fundus. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of iron deficiency among patients with pernicious anemia and associated factors. PATIENTS AND METHODS: All patients with pernicious anemia diagnosed at our institution between January 1990 and February 2005 were included. Inclusion criteria were: 1- histological diagnosis of atrophic fundic gastritis and 2- criteria of gastric autoimmune involvement. Histology of gastric biopsies was performed in a blinded manner. Iron deficiency was defined as serum ferritin level<15 microg/L in women and<40 microg/L in men. RESULTS: Ninety-five patients (69 women), mean age 60 years (range: 23-90) were included. Twenty patients (21.1%) had normal blood cell counts; 12 patients (12.6%) had microcytosis with or without anemia and 53 patients (55.8%) macrocytosis with or without anemia. Serum ferritin levels were measured in 58 patients, 16 (27.6%) of whom, all women, had iron deficiency. They were significantly younger (39.2 years) than patients without iron deficiency (61.6 years, P<0.0001). Serum gastrin levels did not differ between the groups with and without iron deficiency. A significantly more severe inflammatory infiltrate of the fundus and endocrine cell hyperplasia was observed in iron deficiency patients. Multivariate analysis showed that iron deficiency was linked to female gender and age<50 years. CONCLUSION: Iron deficiency and microcytic anemia are not rare in patients with pernicious anemia and should not rule out the diagnosis. Iron deficiency does not appear to be related to the degree of atrophic fundic gastritis but is linked to female gender and young age, suggesting menstrual blood loss could play a role. Whether decreased iron absorption due to reduced acid secretion favors the expression of gynecological iron loss cannot be ascertained. 相似文献

The prognosis of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is generally considered to be poor. As the disease progresses, patients invariably become severely limited in their activities. Therefore, evaluating the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in IPF patients is considered to be important. However, there have been few studies of this kind to date. We applied the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) to 41 consecutive IPF patients and examined various physiological variables to identify factors that were correlated with the HRQoL. Total lung capacity, transfer factor, arterial partial pressure of oxygen at rest, the lowest oxygen saturation during exercise test, and the baseline dyspnoea index (BDI) score were significantly correlated with the total SGRQ score. A similar tendency was observed in each component. Conversely, peak oxygen uptake, known as one of the important factors that determines HRQoL in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), did not correlate with any SGRQ scores. In stepwise multiple regression analysis, the BDI score was selected as the only factor significantly contributing to the total SGRQ score. Dyspnoea was the most important factor determining HRQoL in IPF. The types of other variables that correlated with the HRQoL in IPF patients were different from those in COPD. 相似文献

In clinical practice the will to find out the cause of normocytic anemia (NA) in elderly patients is preferentially based on individual physician's background rather than on objective data such as their hemoglobin level. However, it could be postulate that this clinical performance depends on this "cut off" of hemoglobin (more this value is decreased more it could be easy to find the cause of anemia). The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the number of cases with defined cause of NA (after a standardized procedure) and the level of hemoglobin. METHODS: In this prospective study 211 inpatients aged 70 years or more with NA disclosed on admission or during hospitalization have been selected. In 162 of them finally included, a standardized procedure with complementary explorations was performed. RESULTS: In 134 patients, the cause of NA was established amongst inflammatory diseases and chronic renal failure was the most frequently identified. In 20%, anemia was multifactorial. Despite investigations anemia remained unexplained in 17.3% of studied patients. For a decrease of at least 10% below the normal range of hemoglobin level, sensitivity of diagnosis was 70% and specificity 60%. Positive predictive value to make the diagnosis when hemoglobin level was below 20% from normal value was 100%. CONCLUSION: The cause of NA in elderly patients after basic explorations may be assessed in up to 80% of cases. We found a significant relationship between the value of hemoglobin level and the number of anemia with confirmed diagnosis. More hemoglobin level is decreased better is clinical performance. 相似文献

Aim
To study the prevalence of iron deficiency anaemia in chronic diarrhoea and celiac disease.Methodology
Cases included 45 children between 1–12 years with chronic diarrhoea, who underwent investigations like haemogram with GBP, RBC indices, serum iron and TIBC. After a course of antibiotic therapy for 6 weeks with iron and folic acid with no improvement noted within 2 weeks, they were subjected to duodenal biopsy. If biopsy showed features of celiac disease, then anti-endomysial antibody test was performed to substantiate the diagnosis.Results
30 cases (66.7%) were males and 15 (33.3%) females. 8 cases (17.8%) had watery diarrhoea, 20 (44.4%) semiformed and 17 (37.8%) had watery and semiformed diarrhoea. Bloody diarrhoea was present in 5 (11.1%) and abdominal distension in 21 cases (46.7%). Pallor seen in all the cases. The mean age of the cases was 55 ± 1.5 months and mean duration of diarrhoea was 18 ± 1.4 months. Mean haemoglobin observed was 8.1 ± 1.6 gm%. MCV, MCH and MCHC were 79.1 ± 8.6 fl, 26.9 ± 3 pg and 29.6 ± 2.3 g/dl respectively. Mean serum iron was 32.1 ± 1.2 g/ dl and TIBC was 432 ± 3.2 g/ dl. On peripheral smear, 28 cases (82.4%) showed microcytic hypochromic anaemia. 26 cases showed evidence of celiac disease on duodenal biopsy. Anti endomysial antibody (AEA) test was positive in 15 of the 19 celiac cases on which performed. Mean duration of diarrhoea (23.5 months) was significantly more in celiacs as compared to non-celiacs (11.6 months).Conclusions
Better awareness of the clinical profile and early detection of celiac disease would help detection and management of iron deficiency anaemia associated with celiac disease. 相似文献19.

Factor XII (FXII) is an important protease that plays a major role in the initiation of the intrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. Although congenital FXII deficiency is not associated with a clinical bleeding tendency, it can be identified on a routine coagulation test, such as a prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time. This deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder. It is still unclear whether FXII deficiency causes any disorders during pregnancy. Recurrent miscarriages and placental abruption were reported in cases with FXII deficiency. We successfully treated a woman whose pregnancy was complicated by congenital FXII deficiency. We report her clinical courses of gestation, delivery, and puerperium and discuss the role of maternal FXII associated with pregnancy. In our case, courses of gestation and delivery were normal. Postpartum uterine bleeding was, however, prolonged due to a subinvolution of the puerperal uterus. Our results indicate that, except for postpartum uterine contraction, FXII does not play a major role in gestation and delivery. We suggest that FXII deficiency is not associated with recurrent miscarriage and that normal gestation and vaginal delivery are possible even in cases with congenital FXII deficiency. We assert that the possible correlation of FXII deficiency with recurrent miscarriage merits reevaluation. 相似文献
