Evaluation of D-dimer serum levels among patients with chronic urticaria,psoriasis and urticarial vasculitis

BACKGROUND

It has been demonstrated that neutrophils, eosinophils and monocytes, under appropriated stimulus, may express tissue factor and therefore, activate the extrinsic pathway of coagulation. We performed a transversal and case-control study of patients with chronic urticaria and patients with psoriasis, in our outpatient clinic to evaluate the production of D-dimer.

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate D-dimer serum levels in patients with chronic urticaria and its possible correlation with disease activity.

PATIENTS AND METHODS

The study was conducted from October 2010 until March 2011. We selected 37 consecutive patients from our Allergy Unit and Psoriasis Unit, and divided them into three groups for statistical analysis: (i) 12 patients with active chronic urticaria (CU); (ii) 10 patients with chronic urticaria under remission and (iii) 15 patients with psoriasis (a disease with skin inflammatory infiltrate constituted by neutrophils, lymphocytes and monocytes). Another five patients with urticarial vasculitis were allocated in our study, but not included in statistical analysis. The serum levels of D-dimer were measured by Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Assay (ELFA), and the result units were given in ng/ml FEU.

RESULTS

Patients with active chronic urticaria had the highest serum levels of D-dimer (p<0.01), when compared to patients with CU under remission and the control group (patients with psoriasis).

CONCLUSIONS

Patients with active chronic urticaria have higher serum levels of D-dimer, when compared to patients with chronic urticaria under remission and patients with psoriasis. We found elevated serum levels of D-dimer among patients with urticarial vasculitis.

Sweet potato leaf extract inhibits the simulated in vitro gastrointestinal digestion of native starch

Several studies have reported the therapeutic use of caffeoylquinic acid (CQA) derivatives in the management of hyperglycemia. This study used a simulated in vitro gastrointestinal digestion model to assess the inhibitory effects of CQA derivatives-rich sweet potato leaf extract (SPLE) and a commercially produced green coffee bean extract (GCBE), each with total polyphenols contents of 452 mg g⁻¹ and 278 mg g⁻¹, respectively, against starch digestion. The changes in the amounts of total polyphenols and total CQA derivatives during in vitro gastrointestinal digestion were also examined. The results indicated that both extracts contained substantial levels of CQA derivatives (136 mg g⁻¹ and 83.5 mg g⁻¹ of extract for SPLE and GCBE, respectively). The amounts of total polyphenols and total CQA derivatives in 20 mg of SPLE and GCBE samples decreased from 9.04 mg to 0.58 mg and from 5.56 mg to 0.58 mg, and from 2.72 mg to 0.16 mg and from 1.67 mg to 0.10 mg, respectively, following in vitro gastrointestinal digestion and subsequent dialysis. When SPLE and GCBE were accompanied with starch for in vitro digestion test, they both exhibited inhibitory effect against starch digestion during simulated intestinal digestion, with estimated half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) values of 4.91 mg and 6.06 mg polyphenols, respectively. The amount of glucose permeated through dialysis membrane also decreased significantly in comparison with the extract-negative control. Thus, both SPLE and GCBE were capable of modulating the release of glucose from starch digestion in simulated intestinal tract. The observed inhibitory effects against glucose release were presumably due in part to the presence of CQA derivatives in the tested extracts. The SPLE had higher inhibitory effect against in vitro starch digestion than the commercially prepared reference GCBE. Therefore, the SPLE might be used to manage hyperglycemia over the long term.     

Effect of VIPS fabrication parameters on the removal of acetic acid by supported liquid membrane using a PES–graphene membrane support

In this study, the removal of acetic acid by supported liquid membrane (SLM) using hybrid polyethersulfone (PES)–graphene membrane prepared by vapor induced phase separation (VIPS) was investigated. The effects of graphene loading, coagulation bath temperature, air exposure time, and air humidity on the morphology, mechanical strength, porosity, and contact angle of the membrane were analyzed. The performance and stability of the hybrid membrane as a SLM support for acetic acid removal were studied. The best PES–graphene membrane support was produced at a coagulation bath temperature of 50 °C, an air exposure time of 30 s and air humidity of 80%. The fabricated membrane has a symmetrical micropore cellular structure, high porosity and high contact angle. Under specific SLM conditions, almost 95% of acetic acid was successfully removed from 10 g L⁻¹ aqueous acetic acid solution. The hybrid membrane remains stable for more than 116 h without suffering any membrane breakage during the continuous SLM process.

Dietary nucleotides supplementation during the suckling period improves the antioxidative ability of neonates with intrauterine growth retardation when using a pig model

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of dietary nucleotides supplementation on the antioxidant status of piglets affected by intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR). Fourteen pairs of normal birth weight (NBW) and IUGR piglets were fed either a control diet (CON) or a nucleotides supplementation diet (NT) from 7 d of age to 28 d postnatal. Blood, liver and jejunum samples were collected at the end of the study. The results showed that IUGR piglets had decreased (P < 0.05) concentrations of plasma total antioxidant capability (T-AOC) and total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD), gene expressions of hepatic cytoplasmic copper/zinc SOD (CuZnSOD) and PPARγ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) and jejunal glutathione peroxidase (GP_X) and extracellular superoxide dismutase (ESOD), accordingly, there was markedly higher (P < 0.05) plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) and hepatic and jejunal mitochondria DNA content in the IUGR piglets relative to NBW piglets. Regardless of body weight, dietary NT supplementation significantly increased (P < 0.05) plasma concentrations of T-AOC, T-SOD, CuZnSOD, GP_X and the ratio of reduced glutathione to oxidized glutathione, hepatic T-SOD, GP_X and mitochondria DNA content, while hepatic MDA concentration was markedly decreased (P < 0.05) 19.1% by NT diet. Furthermore, the gene expressions of hepatic glutathione reductase, CuZnSOD, nuclear erythroid 2-related factor 2, PGC-1α and nuclear respiratory factor-1 (NRF-1) and jejunal GP_X, CuZnSOD, ESOD and NRF-1 were significantly increased (P < 0.05) by NT diet, whereas the gene expression of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 were markedly decreased (P < 0.05) compared with that of piglets fed with CON diet. These results indicate that dietary NT supplementation prevents the effect of IUGR on oxidative status and mitochondria DNA damage through improving the non-enzymatic and enzymatic antioxidant capacities as well as mitochondria biogenesis of piglets.
