The aim of this study was to examine the efficacy of intensive medical nutrition therapy (MNT) plus metformin in preventing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) among high-risk Mexican women. An open-label randomized clinical trial was conducted. Inclusion criteria were pregnant women with three or more GDM risk factors: Latino ethnic group, maternal age >35 years, body mass index >25 kg/m2, insulin resistance, and a history of previous GDM, prediabetes, a macrosomic neonate, polycystic ovarian syndrome, or a first-degree relative with type 2 diabetes. Women before 15 weeks of gestation were assigned to group 1 (n = 45): intensive MNT-plus metformin (850 mg twice/day) or group 2 (n = 45): intensive MNT without metformin. Intensive MNT included individual dietary counseling, with ≤50% of total energy from high carbohydrates. The primary outcome was the GDM incidence according to the International Association of Diabetes Pregnancy Study Groups criteria. There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics and adverse perinatal outcomes between the groups. The GDM incidence was n = 11 (24.4%) in the MNT plus metformin group versus n = 7 (15.5%) in the MNT without metformin group: p = 0.42 (RR: 1.57 [95% CI: 0.67–3.68]). There is no benefit in adding metformin to intensive MNT to prevent GDM among high-risk Mexican women. Clinical trials registration: . NCT01675310相似文献

Lipid peroxidation (LP) is one of the most harmful mechanisms developed after spinal cord (SC) injury. Several strategies have been explored in order to control this phenomenon. Protective autoimmunity is a physiological process based on the modulation of inflammatory cells that can be boosted by immunizing with neural-derived peptides, such as A91. Since inflammatory cells are among the main contributors to lipid peroxidation, we hypothesized that protective autoimmunity could reduce LP after SC injury. In order to test this hypothesis, we designed two experiments in SC contused rats. First, animals were immunized with a neural-derived peptide seven days before injury. With the aim of inducing the functional elimination of CNS-specific T cells, for the second experiment, animals were tolerized against SC-protein extract and thereafter subjected to a SC injury. The lipid-soluble fluorescent products were used as an index of lipid peroxidation and were assessed after injury. Immunization with neural-derived peptides reduced lipid peroxidation after SC injury. Functional elimination of CNS-specific T cells avoided the beneficial effect induced by protective autoimmunity. The present study demonstrates the beneficial effect of immunizing with neural-derived peptides on lipid peroxidation inhibition; besides this, it also provides evidence on the neuroprotective mechanisms exerted by protective autoimmunity. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To examine the prevalence and effects of diabetes mellitus in a subgroup of older Mexicans to allow comparisons to older persons of Mexican origin living in the United States. DESIGN: Longitudinal study. SETTING: High-rise retirement housing in Mexico City. PARTICIPANTS: Seven hundred eighty-five public servants and their family members aged 65 and older. MEASUREMENTS: Geriatric survey of function; mental status and depression; a physical examination; and blood samples for glucose and cholesterol. RESULTS: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus in this population was 15.1%, substantially lower than the prevalence reported in people of Mexican origin living in the United States. Nondiabetics were more obese than diabetics. Diabetes mellitus was more common in men than women. The mortality rate was greater in diabetics than nondiabetics (relative risk=1.73, P <.05). Diabetics had more coronary artery disease and were more likely to die from myocardial infarction and neoplasms than nondiabetics. Diabetics were more likely to be functionally impaired (P <.0001) but no more likely to fall or to have fractures. Diabetics did not differ from nondiabetics in cognitive impairment or level of dysphoria. CONCLUSION: These studies highlight some important similarities and differences in comparing a middle class subgroup of older diabetics in Mexico City with diabetics of Mexican origin living in the United States. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of perfluorocarbon-perfused vitrectomy (PCPV) as a novel technique in obtaining a large undiluted vitreous biopsy. DESIGN: Cross-sectional interventional study. METHODS: Patients with undiagnosed posterior uveitis scheduled for vitreous biopsy underwent PCPV. A syringe containing 5 ml of perfluorocarbon liquid (PCL) was connected to the infusion line. Aspiration of the central and superior vitreous was initiated with simultaneous infusion of the PCL. RESULTS: Twenty eyes of 20 patients were included in this study. The mean +/- SD amount of PCL used in each eye was 4.50 +/- 0.69 ml. The volume of vitreous sample obtained in each eye was 2.25 +/- 0.413 ml. No complications occurred. CONCLUSIONS: PCPV is a safe and effective method for obtaining large undiluted vitreous biopsy. 相似文献

Morbid obesity has been shown to increase the risk to develop hepatic steatosis, also referred to as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Emerging evidence suggests that the severity of NAFLD may associate with increased serum levels of inflammatory markers as well as decreased concentration of mediators with anti-inflammatory actions, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin (IL) 10, respectively. We thus examined the serum levels of TNF-α and IL-10 in 102 morbidly obese women and men (body mass index > 40 kg/m2), exhibiting different grades of NAFLD. Blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, insulin, the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), total cholesterol, triglycerides, high- and low-density lipoproteins, parameters of liver function, TNF-α, and IL-10 were measured in each subject. The stage of NAFLD was estimated by abdominal ultrasound imaging. In comparison with morbidly obese subjects without steatosis, morbidly obese patients with NAFLD showed increased age (39.23 ± 9.80 years), HOMA-IR (6.74 ± 1.62), total cholesterol (219.7 ± 9.58 mg/dl), aspartate aminotransferase (36.25 ± 3.24 UI/l), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (37.12 ± 3.41 UI/l), and TNF-α (37.41 ± 1.72 pg/ml) as well as decreased serum levels of IL-10 (61.05 ± 2.43 pg/ml). Interestingly, the systemic levels of TNF-α increased, while IL-10 decreased in accordance with the severity of NAFLD, which supports a role for systemic inflammatory mediators in promoting steatosis progression. Further clinical prospective studies need to be addressed to elucidate the role of TNF-α and IL-10 in the development of NAFLD while also establishing their clinical utility in the assessment of morbidly obese patients at higher risk to develop severe steatosis. 相似文献

Apoptosis is a type of cell death responsible for maintaining tissue homeostasis that can occur in male gonads. The morphological and biochemical characteristics of apoptosis include cellular contraction, caspase activation, and DNA fragmentation. Dynamic processes of cell renewal and differentiation occur inside the seminiferous tubules, which are regulated by mitosis and meiosis, respectively. During meiosis, recombination is caused by assembly of the synaptonemal complex, which involves the participation of constitutive proteins, such as synaptonemal complex protein-3 (SYCP3). The present study evaluated germinal cell death in immature male rats and the distribution of the SYCP3 protein. Our results indicate that as germinal cells progress to the second meiotic stage, significant numbers of them are eliminated by apoptosis. We determined that the SYCP3 protein is not always incorporated into the structure of the synaptonemal complex but rather forms a nuclear cumulus near the inner nuclear membrane, causing many of these cells to undergo apoptosis. We propose that both the excess of the SYCP3 protein and its accumulation during the first meiotic division could contribute to the cell death of primary spermatocytes during the first spermatogenic wave in prepubertal Wistar rats.

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to assess the vitamin D status in preschool and school-age children in Mexico.Methods25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH-D) serum concentrations were measured using a direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay commercial kit in a nationally representative sample of 1025 Mexican children ages 2 y to 12 y who participated in the 2006 Mexican National Health and Nutrition Survey.ResultsMean serum 25-OH-D concentration was 94.6 ± 47 nmol/L. Concentrations were lower in preschool children (2–5 y; 78.3 ± 37 nmol/L) than in school-aged children (6–12 y; 105.8 ± 51 nmol/L; P < 0.001). Children living in urban areas had lower levels (89.8 ± 36 nmol/L) than children from rural areas (108.1 ± 75 nmol/L; P < 0.05). Twenty-four percent of preschool children had vitamin D deficiency (25-OH-D < 50 nmol/L) compared with 10% of school-aged children (P < 0.05). Thirty percent of preschool children had vitamin D insufficiency (25-OH-D 50–74.9 nmol/L) compared with 18% of school-aged children (P < 0.05). In urban areas, 18% of children had vitamin D deficiency and 25% had insufficiency compared with 10% and 16% of children in rural areas, respectively (P < 0.05). Prevalence of severe vitamin D deficiency (25-OH-D < 20 nmol/L) was extremely low (0.3%).ConclusionsVitamin D deficiency and insufficiency are important public health problems in Mexican children. 相似文献

Although human astroviruses (HAstVs) are important agents of gastroenteritis in young children, the studies aimed at characterizing their biology have been limited, in particular regarding their cell entry process. It has been shown that HAstV serotype 8 enters human cells by a classical clathrin-mediated endocytosis pathway; however, the cell receptor or other cell entry factors that may be relevant for an efficient viral infection are unknown. In this work we used a far-Western blotting approach to identify cellular proteins that interact with the recombinant capsid spike proteins of HAstV serotypes 1, 2, and 8, synthesized in Escherichia coli. We identified the 72 kDa protein disulfide isomerase A4 (PDIA4) as a binding partner for HAstV-1 and -8 spikes, but not for the HAstV-2 spike. In agreement with this observation, the PDI inhibitor 16F16 strongly blocked infection by HAstV serotypes 1 and 8, but not serotype 2. RNA interference of PDIA4 expression selectively blocked HAstV-8 infectivity. We also showed that the PDI activity does not affect virus binding or internalization but is required for uncoating of the viral genome. 相似文献

Despite albendazole being the drug of choice in neurocysticercosis treatment, its low solubility limits its bioavailability; therefore, more research is required in order to find new molecules with cestocidal activity and adequate aqueous solubility. A set of 13 benzimidazole derivatives were synthesized and their in vitro activities were evaluated against Taenia crassiceps cysts, using albendazole sulfoxide as reference molecule, showing that two of them exhibited good activity. Molecular modelling revealed that the cysticidal efficacy depends on the presence on the molecule of an H in the 1-position, a planar carbamate group at 2-position, and if the substituent in 5-position is voluminous, it should be orthogonal to the benzimidazole ring. 相似文献
