Serum folic acid levels and erectile dysfunction: A meta-analysis and systematic review

The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between serum folic acid (FA) levels and erectile dysfunction (ED) through a meta-analysis. A research was conducted in MEDLINE via PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE and Web of Science up to 22 November 2020 to identify studies related to FA and ED. Two authors independently screened the literature, evaluated methodological quality and extracted the data. We used RevMan5.3 and STATA 14.0 for meta-analysis. A total of six studies including 1,842 participants were included, and the results showed that the FA levels in the non-ED group were significantly higher than those in the ED group (MD = 3.37, 95% CI 1.49–5.52, p = 0.004). Subgroup analysis indicated that with the increase in ED severity, the difference in FA levels between groups was more obvious (MD: 1.99 vs. 4.63 vs. 5.63). The differences in FA levels between groups seem more significant in the younger group (MD = 4.87, 95% CI 2.58–6.89, p < 0.001) than in the older group (MD = 3.15, 95% CI 2.21–4.08, p < 0.001). In conclusion, FA deficiency is closely related to ED, and the degree of FA deficiency may reflect the severity of ED. In addition, the association seems to be more pronounced in the younger group.

目的 探究Chevron截骨术截骨远端外侧位移距离对外翻足关节接触特征的影响,为临床上选择合适的位移距离提供参考依据。方法 测量踝关节中立位状态下正常足、外翻足及外翻足Chevron截骨术截骨远端分别向外侧位移2.0、4.0、6.0 mm后前足、中足和后足各关节接触力、峰值压强和接触面积,并对结果进行分析。结果 与正常足相比,外翻足第1跖楔关节（t=-3.33, P=0.02）、跟骰关节（t=-2.74, P=0.03）和距下关节（后关节面）（t=-2.89, P=0.03）的接触力显著增高;外翻足距舟关节（t=-2.73, P=0.03）与跟骰关节（t=-2.74, P=0.03）的峰值压强显著增高;行Chevron截骨术后,随着截骨远端向外侧位移距离的增加,外翻足第1跖楔关节和跟骰关节的接触力逐渐减小;外翻足距舟关节和跟骰关节的峰值压强逐渐减小。结论 中度外翻足行Chevron截骨术后,当第1跖骨截骨远端向外侧位移6 mm时能有效恢复部分关节间力的分布,且能缓解部分关节局部应力集中现象。

An assessment of a urinary biomarker for total human environmental exposure to benzo[a]pyrene

Urinary banzo[a]pyrene (BaP) metabolite levels were compared to human environmental exposure to BaP through inhalation and dietary ingestion to assess the predictive validity of the exposure biomarker. These measurements were made for 14 adult volunteers over 14 consecutive days, once during summer/fall, again during winter periods. Based on personal air monitoring, median potential inhalation doses of 11.0 and 2.3 ng/day were estimated for the winter and summer/fall studies, respectively. A median potential ingested dose of 176 ng/day, estimated from duplicate plate sampling, exceeded inhalation by 6-and 122-fold for the winter and summer/fall studies, respectively. Total urinary BaP metabolites were measured using a published reverse metabolism (BaP) method of analysis. Median rates of urinary BaP metabolite elimination for the winter and summer/fall studies were 121 and 129 ng/day, respectively. The changes in inhaled and ingested potential doses were regressed on the change in urinary metabolite elimination from week 1 to week 2 to test the predictive validity of the biomarker measurement. The regression was statistically significant (r = 0.620, p = 0.015, n = 25) when body weight was included and two extreme values were removed. Consistent with the exposure measurements showing diet as the dominant route of exposure, most of the variation in urinary metabolite elimination was explained by the ingested dose. It is concluded that the measurement of urinary BaP by reverse metabolism is qualitative and of marginal predictive validity as an exposure biomarker due to the method's low recoveries and the large unexplained variance.
