Background :
Immunological and inflammatory mechanisms play a key role in the development and progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus.Aim :
To raise the hypothesis that alterations in immunological parameters occur after duodenojejunal bypass surgery combined with ileal interposition without gastrectomy, and influences the insulin metabolism of betacells.Methods :
Seventeen patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus under clinical management were submitted to surgery and blood samples were collected before and six months after surgery for evaluation of the serum profile of proinflammatory (IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-17A) and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-4, IL-10). In addition, anthropometric measures, glucose levels and insulin use were evaluated in each patient.Results :
No changes in the expression pattern of proinflammatory cytokines were observed before and after surgery. In contrast, there was a significant decrease in IL-10 expression, which coincided with a reduction in the daily insulin dose, glycemic index, and BMI of the patients. Early presentation of food to the ileum may have induced the production of incretins such as GLP-1 and PYY which, together with glycemic control, contributed to weight loss, diabetes remission and the consequent good surgical prognosis of these patients. In addition, the control of metabolic syndrome was responsible for the reduction of IL-10 expression in these patients.Conclusion :
These findings suggest the presence of low-grade inflammation in these patients during the postoperative period, certainly as a result of adequate glycemic control and absence of obesity, contributing to a good outcome of surgery. 相似文献2.

BACKGROUND: The reduction in cervical cancer mortality in developed countries has been attributed to well-organized, population-based prevention and control programs that incorporate screening with the Papanicolaou (Pap) smear. In Mexico, there has been a decrease in cervical cancer mortality, but it is unclear what factors have prompted this reduction. METHODS: Using data from national indicators, we determined the correlation between cervical cancer mortality rates and Pap coverage, birthrate, and gross national product, using a linear regression model. We determined relative risk of dying of cervical cancer according to place of residence (rural/urban, region) using a Poisson model. We also estimated Pap smear coverage using national survey data and evaluated the validity and reproducibility of Pap smear diagnosis. RESULTS: An increase in Pap coverage (beta= -0.069) and a decrease in birthrate (beta=0.054) correlate with decreasing cervical cancer mortality in Mexico. Self-reported Pap smear rates in the last 12 months vary from 27.4% to 48.1%. Women who live in the central (relative risk, 1.04) and especially the southern (relative risk, 1.47) parts of Mexico have a greater relative risk of dying of cervical cancer than those who live in the north. There is a high incidence of false negatives in cervical cytology laboratories in Mexico; the percentage of false negatives varies from 3.33% to 53.13%. CONCLUSIONS: The decrease in cervical cancer mortality observed in Mexico is proportional to increasing Pap coverage and decreasing birthrate. Accreditation of cervical cytology laboratories is needed to improve diagnostic precision. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Factors correlated with cigarette smoking in young people have yet to be documented in most developing countries. This study assesses the correlates of smoking in Mexican young people. METHODS: School-based, cross-sectional study in the central Mexican state of Morelos during the 1998-1999 school year of 13,293 public school students aged 11 to 24 years. Multinomial logistic regression models were constructed with smoking as the dependent variable. RESULTS: Regular smoking (one or more cigarettes daily) prevalence was 13.1% (95% confidence interval [CI]=12.2-13.9) in males, and 6.1% (95% CI=5.6-6.6) in females. Frequent alcohol intoxication was strongly associated with regular smoking (females, odds ratio [OR]=68.5, 95% CI=37.6-125.2; males, OR=34.5, 95% CI=22.6-52.7). Regular smoking was associated with illegal drug use and smoking by both parents in females, and with illegal drug use in males (males, OR=4.9, 95% CI=3.7-6.5). Also associated with tobacco smoking were high socioeconomic status, low academic achievement, illegal drug use by peers, marijuana use by parents, and depression in adolescents. CONCLUSIONS: This study documents a strong correlation between tobacco smoking and other health risk behaviors, especially alcohol and drug abuse. In young women especially, the risk of tobacco use increased with alcohol abuse and higher socioeconomic status. School-based interventions are needed that focus on preventing smoking and also take into account other unhealthy behaviors. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: This school-based study explored associations between Mexican young people's condom use, other sexual behaviors, and HIV/AIDS knowledge. METHODS: Students (n=13,293, 11-24 years of age) from a random sample of public schools in the central Mexican state of Morelos completed a self-administered questionnaire. We performed logistic regression analysis of condom use and sexual behavior variables and a knowledge-based index on HIV/AIDS prevention and transmission. RESULTS: Average age at sexual debut was 13.6 +/- 1.9 years among young men and 14.2 +/- 2.2 years among young women; 34.5% of sample participants reported using condoms during their first sexual intercourse. More students had intermediate HIV/AIDS knowledge levels (46%, 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 45.2-46.9) than high levels (37%, 95% CI 36.2-37.8, p <0.01). Students knew more concerning HIV transmission than about prevention of HIV infection. Among young men, high levels of HIV/AIDS knowledge increased likelihood of condom use (odds ratio [OR] 1.4, 95% CI, 1.1-1.7), while among young women high levels of knowledge decreased likelihood of using condoms (OR 0.7, 95% CI, 0.5-1.0). Young men with high levels of HIV/AIDS knowledge were more likely to have had three or more sexual partners (OR 1.7, 95% CI, 1.3-2.2), but young women with high knowledge levels were more likely to have only one lifetime sexual partner (OR 0.6, 95% CI, 0.4-0.9). CONCLUSIONS: As in previous studies in smaller samples, levels of knowledge with regard to HIV/AIDS were low in Mexican youth. HIV/AIDS education programs for Mexican students should focus on conveying knowledge on HIV prevention. Because apparently knowledge is not directly correlated with condom use among young women, prevention strategies that deal with social acceptability of condoms and social skills related with condom negotiation are also needed. 相似文献

Apeu virus (APEUV) (family Bunyaviridae, genus Orthobunyavirus) was plaque purified and characterised by serological and molecular analysis. Neutralising assays confirmed cross-reactivity between purified APEUV clones and the Caraparu virus complex of group C orthobunyaviruses. Partial sequencing of the L, M and S segments of one APEUV clone (APEUV-CL5) was carried out. A phylogenetic tree constructed with the L amino acid sequences clustered APEUV-CL5 within the genus Orthobunyavirus, confirming its serological classification. Analysis of M segment sequences clustered APEUV-CL5 in the Caraparu virus complex (Group C), in agreement with serological tests and previous molecular characterisation. However, the sequence of the nucleocapsid gene (N) gave low identity values when compared to those of the group C viruses. The phylogenetic tree based on N nucleotide sequences clustered APEUV-CL5 next to the California and Bwamba groups. This remarkable S nucleotide variability suggests that APEUV-CL5 could be a genetic reassortant and that this evolutionary mechanism is present in the history of the group C viruses. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of invasive and non-invasive tests for diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in a large series of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients. In this delayed-type cross-sectional study, 113 HIV-infected symptomatic patients were evaluated by an adjudication committee after clinical follow-up to establish the presence or absence of VL as the target condition (reference test). The index tests were recombinant K39 antigen-based immunochromatographic test (rK39), indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT), prototype kit of direct agglutination test (DAT-LPC), and real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) in peripheral blood. Compared with parasitological test and adjudication committee diagnosis or latent class model analyses, IFAT and rk39 dipstick test presented the lowest sensitivity. DAT-LPC exhibited good overall performance, and there was no statistical difference between DAT-LPC and qPCR diagnosis accuracy. Real-time PCR emerges as a less invasive alternative to parasitological examination for confirmation of cases not identified by DAT. 相似文献
