Background

Several studies have reported an increased prevalence of Parkinson disease (PD) amongst patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with conflicting results. We aimed to evaluate the risk of PD in the IBD population by conducting a meta-analysis (MA).

Methods

A systematic review with MA of the existing literature was conducted. The main outcome of interest was the incidence of developing PD in patients previously diagnosed with IBD.

Results

Four studies were included in this MA. The overall risk of PD in IBD was significantly higher than controls (RR 1.41, 95% c.i. 1.19–1.66). Crohn’s disease had a 28% increased risk of PD and ulcerative colitis had a 30% increased risk of PD compared to controls (CD: RR 1.28, 95% c.i. 1.08–1.52, UC: RR 1.30, 95% c.i. 1.15–1.47).

Conclusion

The MA detected an increased risk of PD in the IBD population and CD/UC subgroup. These results merit further clinical validation in future studies.  相似文献

Background

Gliadins are involved in gluten-related disorders and are responsible for the alteration of the cellular redox balance. It is not clear if the gliadin-related oxidative stress can induce DNA damage in enterocytes.

Aim

To investigate any possible genotoxicity caused by gliadin and to assess its relationship with oxidative stress in vitro and ex vivo.

Methods

Caco-2 cells were exposed for 6–12–24?h to increasing concentrations (250?μg/mL–1000?μg/mL) of digested gliadin. We investigated: cytotoxicity, oxidative balance (reactive oxygen species, ROS), DNA damage (comet assay and γ-H2AX detection), transglutaminase type 2 (TG2) activity and annexin V expression. H2AX and 8-OHG immunohistochemistry has been evaluated on duodenal biopsies of celiac subjects and controls.

Results

Gliadin induced a significant increase (+50%) of ROS after 12?h of exposition starting with a 500?μg/mL dose of gliadin. Comet assay and γ-H2AX demonstrated DNA damage, evident at the gliadin concentration of 500?μg/mL after 24?h. TG2 activity increased in chromatin and cytoskeleton cellular compartments at different gliadin doses (250/500/1000?μg/mL). The γ-H2AX and 8-OHG immunohistochemistry was altered in the duodenal biopsies of celiac patients.

Conclusions

Gliadin induces cellular oxidative stress, DNA damage and pro-apoptotic stimulation in Caco-2 cells and in the duodenal mucosa of celiac patients.  相似文献

Background

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) represents a devastating malignancy characterized by high mortality, and notoriously problematic to diagnose. Recently, microRNAs (miRs) have been intensively investigated due to their potential usefulness from a tumor treatment perspective.

Aims

The current study was aimed to investigate whether miR-494 influences epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), tumor growth and metastasis of CCA.

Methods

The regulatory miRNAs of WDHD1 in CCA expression chip were predicted, followed by determination of the miR-494 and WDHD1 expression in normal cholangiocyte tissues and CCA tissues. The related protein levels were determined. CCA cell migration, invasion, viability, and cell cycle distribution and the dosage-dependent effect of miR-494 on CCA cell growth were subsequently detected. Finally, tumorigenicity and lymph node metastasis (LNM) were measured.

Results

Initially, miR-194 affected the CCA development via negatively regulating WDHD1 and miR-494 which were downregulated while WDHD1 was upregulated in CCA. In addition, miR-494 overexpression elevated E-cadherin expression while decreased expressions of WDHD1, N-cadherin, Vimentin, Snail, Twist and MMP-9. Finally, overexpressed miR-494 was observed to suppress EMT, cell viability, migration, invasion, arrest cell cycle progression, tumor formation, and LNM while accelerating cell apoptosis in vivo.

Conclusion

This study indicated that miR-494 overexpression suppresses EMT, tumor formation and LNM while promoting CCA cell apoptosis through inhibiting WDHD1 in CCA.  相似文献

Background

Endogenous β-endorphin is delivered exclusively from the pituitary gland in various stressful conditions and plays an essential role in the nervous system. Recently, a few studies demonstrated peripheral endogenous opioid secretion from immune cells at inflammatory sites. Here, we investigated the expression of β-endorphin, the most powerful endogenous opioid peptide, in peripheral tissues in response to systemic administration of lipopolysaccharide in mice.

Methods

Male C57BL/6N mice received intravenously administered lipopolysaccharide to induce an endotoxic shock-like condition. mRNA for proopiomelanocortin, a precursor of β-endorphin, was quantified in peripheral blood cells, liver and spleen. β-endorphin peptide was measured in the liver and spleen.

Results

Expression of proopiomelanocortin mRNA was detected in peripheral tissues after systemic administration of lipopolysaccharide. Lipopolysaccharide also induced β-endorphin expression in the liver and spleen.

Conclusion

Expression of proopiomelanocortin mRNA and β-endorphin was detected in peripheral tissues after systemic administration of lipopolysaccharide. These results provide new evidence that peripheral endogenous opioids can be produced not only as a result of local inflammation but also by severe systemic stress such as endotoxic shock. Further study is required to clarify the role of peripheral β-endorphin during endotoxic shock.  相似文献

Background

The current definitions and etiologies of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) are clearly very different between East and West.

Aims

This study aimed to develop an effective prognostic nomogram for acute-on-chronic hepatitis B liver failure (ACHBLF) as defined by the Asia Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver (APASL).

Methods

The nomogram was based on a retrospective study of 573 patients with ACHBLF, defined according to the APASL, at the Beijing Ditan Hospital. The results were validated using a bootstrapped approach to correct for bias in two external cohorts, including an APASL ACHBLF cohort (10 hospitals, N?=?329) and an EASL-CLIF ACHBLF cohort (Renji Hospital, N?=?300).

Results

Multivariate analysis of the derivation cohort for survival analysis helped identify the independent factors as age, total bilirubin, albumin, international normalized ratio, and hepatic encephalopathy, which were included in the nomogram. The predictive value of nomogram was the strongest compared with CLIF-C ACLF, MELD and MELD-Na and similar to COSSH-ACLF in both the derivation and prospective validation cohorts with APASL ACHBLF, but the CLIF-C ACLF was better in the EASL-CLIF ACHBLF cohort.

Conclusions

The proposed nomogram could accurately estimate individualized risk for the short-term mortality of patients with ACHBLF as defined by APASL.  相似文献

Aim

The aim of this study is to investigate the role of glypican-3(GPC3)/wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and autophagy in the regulation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) growth mediated by curcumin.

Methods

HepG2 cells were treated with various concentrations of curcumin and/or GPC3-targeting siRNA in the presence or absence of 3-MA. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were determined by MTT and TUNEL assay, respectively. Expression of GPC3, β-catenin, c-myc, LC3, and Beclin1 was determined by western blotting. In addition, curcumin was tested in tumor xenografts mice model, Caliper IVIS Lumina II was used to monitor the tumor growth, and GPC3/wnt/β-catenin signaling proteins were determined by western blotting.

Results

Curcumin treatment led to proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction in HepG2 cells in a concentration-dependent manner, and suppressed HCC tumor growth in vivo. Further analysis showed that curcumin treatment inactivated Wnt/β-catenin signaling and decreased GPC3 expression, silencing of GPC3 expression promoted the effects of curcumin on Wnt/β-catenin signaling. In addition, inhibiting autophagy by 3-MA relieved curcumin-dependent down-regulation of GPC3.

Conclusion

Curcumin suppressed HCC tumor growth through down-regulating GPC3/wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, which was partially mediated by activation of autophagy.  相似文献

Introduction and Objectives

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common cutaneous inflammatory disease in both adults and children. Although emerging therapeutic approaches are being investigated for the management of pediatric AD, it still needs to be managed with conventional treatments. This consensus document is aimed at providing an update on general management and therapies of pediatric AD, defining practical recommendations for using both topical and systemic agents.

Material and Methods

A panel of experts consisting of dermatologists and pediatricians were convened in order to define statements, through a Delphi process, standardizing the management of AD in pediatric subjects in a real-world setting.

Results

A set of practical recommendations obtaining an at least 75% agreement was presented.

Conclusions

This set of practical recommendations represents a simple and fast snapshot on the pediatric use of common anti-AD therapeutics.  相似文献

Introduction

Antimicrobial defined daily dose (DDD), has limitations for antimicrobial consumption measurement in paediatrics. An alternative DDD design applicable for children is proposed.

Methods

Children (<16 years-old) from 10 Spanish hospitals during a 12-months period were included. Weight for age (50th percentile) was calculated for the median age of the cohort using standardized World Health Organization tables. DDD (g) for each antimicrobial was calculated by multiplying the obtained weight times the recommended dose (mg/kg) of the antimicrobial for the most common infectious indication.

Results

A total of 40,575 children were included. Median age was 4.17 (IQR: 1.36–8.98) and 4.81 (IQR: 1.42–9.60) years for boys and girls, respectively. Mean weight for this age was 17.08 kg. Standardized DDD for representative antimicrobials were calculated.

Conclusions

A useful method for antimicrobial DDD measurement in paediatrics has been proposed and should be validated in future studies for its use in paediatric antimicrobial stewardship programmes.  相似文献

Purpose

To review available evidence in the literature on impulse oscillometry in the assessment of lung function in children with respiratory diseases, especially asthma.

Data collection

Research in the Medline, PubMed, and Lilacs databases, with the keywords forced oscillation, impulse oscillometry, asthma and impulse oscillometry.

Results

The Impulse Oscillometry System (IOS) allows the measurement of resistance and reactance of airways and is used as a diagnostic resource. A significant association between the findings of the IOS and those of spirometry is observed. In asthma, the IOS has already been used to assess the bronchodilator response and the therapeutic response to different drugs and has shown to be a sensitive technique to evaluate disease control. There are limitations to this assessment, such as children with attention deficit and in some cases it is difficult to interpret the results from a clinical point of view.

Conclusion

The IOS is a useful tool for the measurement of the lung function of children. It is an easy test, although its interpretation is not straightforward.  相似文献

Background

The long-term management of perianal Crohn’s disease for patients on anti-TNF-α therapy remains challenging.

Aim

To evaluate the long-term course and complications of patients with perianal fistulas treated with anti-TNF-α based on their clinical remission and healing on MRI.

Methods

Patients were evaluated clinically and by MRI. Deep remission was defined as clinical remission associated with the absence of contrast enhancement and T2 hyperintensity on MRI. Flare-free survival, surgery and hospitalizations were compared based on the presence or not of deep remission.

Results

Forty-eight consecutive patients were included with a median follow-up of 62?months after anti-TNF-α first administration. Deep remission was observed in 16 patients (33.4%). For patients in deep remission, the median time to any perianal event was 116?months (95–130) versus 42?months (8–72) in patients with pathological MRI (p?<?0.001). Sixteen patients (50%) with pathological MRI had perianal surgery versus 2 (12.5%) in the deep remission group (p?<?0.05). The mean duration of cumulative hospital stays was 0.75?±?0.52?days in the deep remission group versus 19.7?±?7.4 in the pathological group (p?<?0.05).

Conclusions

Higher flare-free survival and lower rates of surgery and hospitalization were found in patients achieving deep remission.  相似文献

Background

The pediatric obesity epidemic calls for the noninvasive detection of individuals at higher risk of complications.

Aims

To investigate the diagnostic role of combined salivary uric acid (UA), glucose and insulin levels to screen noninvasively for metabolic syndrome (MetS) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Methods

Medical history, clinical, anthropometric, and laboratory data including serum triglyceride, glucose, insulin, HOMA, HDL-cholesterol, and UA levels of 23 obese children (15 with [St+] and 8 without [St?] ultrasonographic hepatic steatosis) and 18 normal weight controls were considered.

Results

Serum and salivary UA (p?<?0.05; R2?=?0.51), insulin (p?<?0.0001; R2?=?0.79), and HOMA (p?<?0.0001; R2?=?0.79) levels were significantly correlated; however their values tended to be only slightly higher in the obese patients, predominately in [St+], than in the controls. Notably, UA and insulin levels in both fluids increased in parallel to the number of MetS components. After conversion of the z-logit function including salivary/anthropometric parameters in a stepwise logistic regression analysis, a factor of 0.5 allowed for predicting hepatic steatosis with high sensitivity, specificity, and total accuracy.

Conclusions

Salivary testing together with selected anthropometric parameters helps to identify noninvasively obese children with hepatic steatosis and/or having MetS components.  相似文献

Introduction and objectives

Atopic dermatitis is common among children of 0–5 years old. Treatment consists of emollients and topical corticosteroids. Due to corticophobia, however, adherence to topical corticosteroids is low. Our aim was to find factors that influence opinions about topical corticosteroids among parents of children with atopic dermatitis.

Methods

A qualitative focus group study in secondary care with parents of children with atopic dermatitis. Questions concerned opinions, attitude, sources of information, and the use of topical corticosteroids.

Results

The parents indicated that they lack knowledge about the working mechanism and side effects of topical corticosteroids. Dermatologists and paediatricians emphasise the beneficial effects, whereas other healthcare workers and lay people often express a negative attitude.

Conclusions

This study gives a complete overview of factors influencing adherence. Treatment with topical corticosteroids can be improved by better informing parents about the working mechanisms, the use, and how to reduce the dose. Healthcare professionals need to be aware of the consequences of their negative attitude concerning topical corticosteroids.  相似文献

Introduction

Streptococcus pneumoniae (Sp) is the main cause of community-acquired pneumonia in the elderly, hence the importance to establish the prevalence of nasopharyngeal colonization by different Sp serotypes in adults.

Methods

from December 2009 to June 2010, nasopharyngeal cultures were taken from adults living in rural communities in Mexico for the isolation and serotyping of Sp by the Quellung reaction. Penicillin and ceftriaxone susceptibility tests were performed by the microdilution method.

Results

two hundred and thirty-six adults over 50 years old, were included. The prevalence of colonization by Sp was 21.6%. The most frequent serotypes were 19A (21%), 6A (13%), 6B and 11A (11%). All isolates were susceptible to ceftriaxone, and 52.8% of the isolates showed penicillin minimal inhibitory concentrations ≥0.12 mg/L.

Conclusion

this is the first study analyzing the nasopharyngeal colonization by Sp in adults in Mexico. Serotypes not included in any of the pneumococcal vaccines were frequently identified.  相似文献
