Assessment of heavy metals by ICP-OES and their impact on insulin stimulating hormone and carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes

Arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd) have recently emerged as major health concerns owing to their strong association with diabetes mellitus (DM). We aimed to investigate the heavy metals exposure towards incidence of DM at various enzymatic and hormonal levels. Additionally, association of As and Cd with Zinc (Zn, essential metal) was also evaluated. Spot urine samples were collected to assess As, Cd and Zn through ICP-OES. Serum was analyzed by assay method for fasting blood glucose, liver and renal function biomarkers. ELISA was performed to investigate the impact of heavy metals on HbA1c, α-amylase, DPP-IV, IGF-1, leptin, GSH, MDA, SOD, HDL, FFA, TG and interleukin (IL)-6. Association of heavy metals with DM was measured by odds ratio (OR) and level of significance was assessed by Chi-squared test. Unpaired student's t-test was used to compare DM-associated risk factors in heavy metals-exposed and unexposed participants. As and Cd were detectable in 75.4% and 83% participants with mean concentration of 75.5 ppb and 54.5 ppb, respectively. For As exposure, OR in the third quartile was maximum ie 1.34 (95% CI, 0.80 to 2.23), however the result was not statistically significant (P > .05). For Cd exposure, OR in the fourth quartile was considerably high, 1.62 (95% CI, 1.00 to 2.61), with a significant probability value (P < .05). Urinary Cd was negatively associated with Zn. As and Cd exposure increases the incidence of DM in the general population. Impaired hormonal and enzymatic levels in diabetic and non-diabetic exposed participants reflect the multiple organ damage by heavy metal exposure.     

The utilisation of superficial venous surgery for chronic venous insufficiency by the U.K. Asian population.

BACKGROUND: The epidemiology of superficial venous disease is relatively well defined in the U.K. Caucasian population. By contrast, there are currently no data available for Asians, who comprise 3.6% of the U.K., and 14.1% of this institution's catchment population. The aim of this study was to compare surgery for superficial venous disease in Caucasians and Asians in this institution, in the context of our local population. METHODS: A prospectively gathered database of all 2011 superficial venous operations performed between January 1997 and April 2002 was retrospectively analysed with regard to ethnicity. The ethnic, gender and age composition of our catchment area was determined from U.K. census data. The full institutional records of 100 Asian and 100 randomly selected age and sex-matched Caucasian patients were compared in a case control study. RESULTS: After adjusting for age and gender according to census data, Asians were 40% less likely to undergo superficial venous surgery (SVS). Considering the 2011 operated patients as a whole, Asians were significantly younger and more likely to be male. In the case control study, Asians were significantly less likely to be operated for recurrent disease and significantly more likely to be operated for advanced disease. CONCLUSIONS: Although Asians are significantly less likely to undergo SVS; those that do are more likely to be young, male and operated for skin changes and ulcers. This strongly suggests that the under-representation of Asians is due to cultural, genetic or environmental factors and unmet health care need, rather than a lower prevalence of clinically significant venous disease in the Asian population.     

External Iliac Endofibrosis in Endurance Athletes: A Novel Case in an Endurance Runner and a Review of the Literature

BACKGROUND: There is increasing recognition that high-performance athletes can develop symptomatic arterial flow restriction in one or both (15%) legs due to kinking and/or endofibrosis of their iliac arteries. METHODS: Case report and review based on a Medline search of the literature. RESULTS: A 51-year-old female, 24-hour endurance runner presented with a six-month history of rapidly progressing intermittent claudication affecting her right thigh and calf in the absence of classical risk factors for atherosclerosis. On the basis of invasive and non-invasive investigations, a provisional diagnosis of endofibrosis was made and she was treated successfully with angioplasty. CONCLUSIONS: The epidemiology, optimal investigation and treatment of iliac endofibrosis in endurance athletes is poorly described. Each individual unit's experience is likely to be very small. A European register of such cases would increase our understanding of the condition and improve patient outcomes.

重视膀胱癌淋巴管浸润和淋巴结转移的研究

转移是膀胱癌患者死亡的主要原因,且早期以淋巴结转移为主。T2 期膀胱癌约 50%淋巴管内有癌细胞,T3 期几乎全部淋巴管内有癌细胞。残存的肿瘤细胞淋巴管浸润是肿瘤切除术后复发的根源,明显的淋巴结转移更是患者预后不良的重要危险因素。然而膀胱癌淋巴管浸润和淋巴结转移的
