    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :We examined the effect of exercise on postprandial lipemia (PPL) and insulin resistance in individuals with metabolic syndrome. Subjects were 10 hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) males with insulin resistance [age = 40.1 +/- 2.2 years, body weight = 96.3 +/- 3.3 kg, fasting triglyceride (TG) = 263 +/- 25 mg/dl, VO(2)max = 37 +/- 1.1 ml/kg/min, and Homeostatic Model Assessment (HOMA-IR, an index of insulin resistance) = 3.05 +/- 0.40]. Each subject performed a control trial (Ctr, no exercise), and three exercise trials at 40% (40%T), 60% (60%T), and 70% (70%T) of their VO(2)max. The order of trials was randomized and there were 1-2 weeks wash-out period between the trials. All subjects had a fat-meal in each trial. In the exercise trials, subjects jogged on a treadmill for 1 h at a designated intensity 12 h prior to a fat-meal ingestion. Blood samples were taken at 0 h (before the meal), and 2, 4, 6, and 8 h after the meal. The plasma TG, area score under TG concentration curve for over an 8 h-period (TG AUC) after the meal, and HOMA-IR were analyzed. The TG AUC score in 40%T was 30% lower (P = 0.003), 60%T was 31% lower (P = 0.02), and 70%T was 39% lower (P = 0.02) than Ctr. There were no significant differences in the TG AUC scores among the exercise trials (P > 0.05). The insulin concentrations in both 60 and 70%T were lower than Ctr (P < 0.01) which did not differ from 40%T. HOMA-IR in both 60%T (P = 0.041) and 70%T (P = 0.002) were lower than Ctr, but not different from 40%T (HOMA-IR: Ctr = 3.05 +/- 0.40, 40%T = 2.67 +/- 0.35, 60%T = 2.49 +/- 0.31, 70%T = 2.21 +/- 0.27). The results suggest that for physically inactive individuals with metabolic syndrome, exercising at low to moderate intensity may be sufficient to attenuate PPL and increase insulin sensitivity, whereas higher intensity exercise may be needed to normalize blood glucose.
    背景与目标: :我们研究了运动对代谢综合征患者餐后血脂(PPL)和胰岛素抵抗的影响。受试者为10名高甘油三酸酯血症(HTG)男性,其胰岛素抵抗[年龄= 40.1 /-2.2岁,体重= 96.3 /-3.3 kg,空腹甘油三酸酯(TG)= 263 /-25 mg / dl,VO(2)max = 37 -/-1.1 ml / kg / min,并且稳态模型评估(HOMA-IR,胰岛素抵抗指数)= 3.05 /-0.40]。每个受试者进行了一项对照试验(Ctr,无运动),并进行了三项运动试验,试验的最大VO(2)最大为40%(40%T),60%(60%T)和70%(70%T)。试验顺序是随机的,两次试验之间有1-2周的清除期。所有受试者在每次试验中均吃一顿胖饭。在运动试验中,受试者在摄入脂肪餐之前12小时以指定的强度在跑步机上慢跑1小时。在0小时(饭前),饭后2、4、6和8小时采集血样。分析餐后8 h内血浆TG,TG浓度曲线下的面积分数(TG AUC)和HOMA-IR。与Ctr相比,在40%T中的TG AUC得分降低了30%(P = 0.003),在60%T中降低了31%(P = 0.02),在70%T中降低了39%(P = 0.02)。在运动试验之间,TG AUC评分无显着差异(P> 0.05)。 60%和70%T中的胰岛素浓度均低于Ctr(P <0.01),与40%T无差异。 60%T(P = 0.041)和70%T(P = 0.002)的HOMA-IR均低于Ctr,但与40%T相同(HOMA-IR:Ctr = 3.05 /-0.40,40%T = 2.67 /-0.35,60%T = 2.49 /-0.31,70%T = 2.21 /-0.27)。结果表明,对于缺乏运动能力的代谢综合征患者,低强度至中等强度的运动可能足以减弱PPL和增加胰岛素敏感性,而可能需要更高强度的运动才能使血糖正常化。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: OBJECTIVE:This study reviewed whether participants who were given a continence education package, which included a Continence Educational Brochure (CEB), and who indicated that they were bothered by incontinence symptoms changed health-seeking behaviors about their incontinence problem because of being given the brochure. METHOD:This study used a descriptive and exploratory design. Participants were given the CEB and asked to read the information. They were also asked to complete a continence questionnaire and mail this back to the research team. Participants who indicated that they were bothered by a continence problem and consented to being interviewed were telephoned 2 to 3 months later. They were asked questions to determine their actions and progress in relation to managing their continence problem and whether the CEB had influenced their behavior. SETTING AND SUBJECT:A total of 631 participants (352 females, 55.8%; 279 males, 44.2%) from 4 rural and regional settings in Victoria, Australia, participated. Of this sample, 111 participants (78 females, 70.3%; 33 males, 29.7%) who reported that they were bothered by a continence problem were interviewed 3 months after being given the CEB. RESULTS:Two thirds of the total sample of participants (n=111) sought help for their continence problem. Approximately 70.3% (n=78) continued to have a continence problem. Of this group, 84.6% were still bothered by the continence problem and 65.4% had taken action to treat their incontinence. Forty-nine participants (44.1%) indicated that they had discussed the issue of bladder or bowel problems with someone directly because of this study or the information contained in the brochure. More than 94% of participants who remembered the CEB indicated that they believed the brochure would be helpful if given to other people. CONCLUSIONS:These findings suggest that the CEB prompted individuals to discuss their continence problem and in fewer cases to seek professional help. Given these findings, distribution of a continence education package is advocated as a continence health promotion strategy.
    背景与目标: 目的:本研究回顾了参加者的节制教育包,其中包括节制教育手册(CEB),并指出他们因节制失禁症状而受到困扰,从而改变了他们对失禁问题的健康寻求行为,因为他们获得了手册。
    方法:本研究采用描述性和探索性设计。参加者获得了CEB的邀请,并要求阅读信息。还要求他们填写节制问卷并将其邮寄回研究团队。 2至3个月后打电话给表示自己受到节制问题困扰并同意接受采访的参与者。他们被问到问题,以确定他们在处理自控问题方面的行动和进展,以及CEB是否影响了他们的行为。
    地点和主题:来自澳大利亚维多利亚州4个农村和地区性地区的631名参与者(352名女性,占55.8%; 279名男性,占44.2%)参加了该项目。在该样本中,有111名参与者报告他们受到节制问题困扰,其中有78名女性,占70.3%; 33名男性,占29.7%,在接受CEB后三个月进行了访谈。
    结果:参与者(n = 111)的总样本的三分之二寻求帮助,以解决他们的节制问题。大约70.3%(n = 78)仍然存在尿失禁问题。在这一组中,仍有84.6%的人患有尿失禁问题,还有65.4%的人已经采取了行动来治疗他们的尿失禁。 49名参与者(44.1%)表示,由于该研究或小册子中包含的信息,他们直接与某人讨论了膀胱或肠道问题。记得CEB的参与者中,超过94%的参与者表示,他们认为该手册对其他人有帮助。
    结论:这些发现表明,CEB促使个人讨论他们的节制问题,并在较少的情况下寻求专业帮助。鉴于这些发现,提倡分发节制教育一揽子计划作为节制健康促进策略。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :The infection rate after primary hip arthroplasty lies at 1-2%. In the past few years, a two-stage protocol with the implantation of an antibiotic-loaded spacer has become a popular procedure in the treatment of infected hip joint arthroplasties. In this review, we pay special attention to the elution characteristics of the spacers, their mechanical stability and the clinical response. We conclude that hip spacers are an effective method in the treatment of hip joint infections, with success rates of over 90%.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Japanese people in both Japan and in Hawaii have a lower incidence of hip fractures than white people in Hawaii or on the mainland of the United States. Hip fractures usually occur after a fall, and differing incidence rates of falls might contribute to the observed differences in hip fracture rates. To investigate this possibility we undertook a prospective study of falls among elderly Japanese men and women living in Hawaii using intensive surveillance methods similar to those used in studies of predominantly white populations. For our Japanese participants, the incidence rates of total falls were 139 per 1000 person years for men and 276 per 1000 person years for women. Age adjusted rate ratios of falls for predominantly white populations compared with our Japanese participants ranged from 1.8 to 2.3 for women and from 2.6 to 4.7 for men. The risk of injuries when they did fall, however, was not lower for our Japanese participants than reported for white participants. For our Japanese population, past falls, female gender, and daytime hours were associated with an increased incidence of falls.
    背景与目标: :在日本和夏威夷,日本人的髋部骨折发生率比夏威夷或美国大陆的白人低。髋部骨折通常在跌倒后发生,跌倒的发生率不同可能会导致观察到的髋部骨折发生率的差异。为了调查这种可能性,我们进行了一项前瞻性研究,研究了居住在夏威夷的日本老年男性和女性跌倒的情况,采用了与主要针对白人人口的研究相似的强化监视方法。对于我们的日本参与者,男性总跌倒发生率是每千人年139例,女性每千人年276例。与日本人相比,以白人为主的年龄调整后的跌倒比率,女性为1.8到2.3,男性为2​​.6到4.7。但是,我们的日本参与者跌倒时受伤的风险并不比白人参与者低。对于我们的日本人口来说,以往的跌倒,女性性别和白天营业时间与跌倒发生率增加相关。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :The vitamin B12 status of 20 subjects who were on home parenteral nutrition after surgical or functional small bowel resection and were given 1000 micrograms cyanocobalamin every 3 mo was studied by comparing their plasma vitamin B12, homocysteine (HS), and methylmalonic acid (MMA) concentrations. The plasma vitamin B12 concentration (median 145 pmol/L, 95% confidence interval: 123-217) was subnormal in four cases and borderline in four others. In the "4low B12" group, the concentrations of the markers of vitamin B12 deficiency were in the normal range; HS 10.7 mumol/L (8.0-12.3); and MMA, 0.15 mumol/L (0.09-0.19). References values were HS, 10.0 mumol/L (9.4-12.6); and MMA, 0.16 mumol/L (0.10-0.19). Thus, there were no metabolic signs of vitamin B12 deficiency in these subjects on parenteral nutrition, despite the fact that their plasma vitamin B12 levels were low. Analysis of individual data showed that the four patients with low circulating B12 had markers of intracellular vitamin B12 deficiency in the normal range.
    背景与目标: :通过比较血浆中维生素B12,高半胱氨酸(HS)和甲基丙二酸(MMA)的研究,研究了20名接受手术或功能性小肠切除术后家庭肠胃外营养并每3个月接受1000微克氰钴胺素治疗的受试者的维生素B12状况浓度。血浆维生素B12浓度(中位数145 pmol / L,95%置信区间:123-217)在4例中低于正常,在其他4例中处于临界水平。在“ 4low B12”组中,维生素B12缺乏症标志物的浓度在正常范围内。 HS 10.7摩尔/升(8.0-12.3);和MMA,0.15摩尔/升(0.09-0.19)。参考值为HS,10.0 mumol / L(9.4-12.6);和MMA,0.16摩尔/升(0.10-0.19)。因此,尽管血浆维生素B12水平较低,但这些受试者在肠外营养方面没有维生素B12缺乏症的代谢迹象。对个人数据的分析显示,四名循环血B12低的患者在正常范围内具有细胞内维生素B12缺乏症的标志。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :The health issues of young adulthood have received relatively little attention compared with those of adolescence, although the critical issues in young adulthood parallel those of adolescence. Young adults often fare worse than adolescents on health indicators, with many measures of negative outcomes--including rates of injury, homicide, and substance use--peaking during the young adult years. The contextual factors shaping health status and access to care in young adulthood differ significantly from the context of adolescence. This article synthesizes national data to present a health profile of young adults, reviewing social indicators that describe the context of young adulthood and presenting measures of health status. We examine mortality, morbidity, risky behaviors, and health care access and utilization, identifying the most significant gender and racial/ethnic disparities. The article also identifies limitations of existing data and offers suggestions for future research and health monitoring in this area. We conclude with a discussion of current efforts to address the health and well-being of young adults and argue for creating a national health agenda for young adults that includes research, programs and policies to address health issues during this period of the lifespan.
    背景与目标: :与青春期相比,青年期的健康问题受到的关注相对较少,尽管青年期的关键问题与青春期的问题平行。在健康指标上,年轻人通常比青少年情况更糟,在年轻人成年时期,有很多负面结果的衡量指标,包括伤害率,杀人率和药物使用率。决定健康状况和成年后获得医疗服务的情境因素与青春期有很大不同。本文综合了国家数据,以介绍年轻人的健康状况,回顾了描述年轻人成年背景的社会指标,并提出了健康状况的衡量指标。我们检查了死亡率,发病率,危险行为以及医疗保健的获取和利用,确定了最重要的性别和种族/族裔差异。本文还指出了现有数据的局限性,并为该领域的未来研究和健康监测提供了建议。最后,我们讨论了当前为解决年轻人的健康和福祉所做的努力,并争辩了制定一项针对年轻人的国家健康议程,其中包括研究,计划和政策,以解决这一时期的健康问题。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :The yeast S. cerevisiae is a central model organism in eukaryotic cell studies and a major component in many food and biotechnological industrial processes. However, the wide knowledge regarding genetics and molecular biology of S. cerevisiae is based on an extremely narrow range of strains. Studies of natural populations of S. cerevisiae, not associated with human activities or industrial fermentation environments, are very few. We isolated a panel of S. cerevisiae strains from a natural microsite, "Evolution Canyon" at Mount Carmel, Israel, and studied their genomic biodiversity. Analysis of 19 microsatellite loci revealed high allelic diversity and variation in ploidy level across the panel, from diploids to tetraploids, confirmed by flow cytometry. No significant differences were found in the level of microsatellite variation between strains derived from the major localities or microniches, whereas strains of different ploidy showed low similarity in allele content. Maximum genetic diversity was observed among diploids and minimum among triploids. Phylogenetic analysis revealed clonal, rather than sexual, structure of the triploid and tetraploid subpopulations. Viability tests in tetrad analysis also suggest that clonal reproduction may predominate in the polyploid subpopulations.
    背景与目标: :酿酒酵母是真核细胞研究中的中心模型生物,在许多食品和生物技术工业过程中都是主要成分。但是,关于酿酒酵母的遗传学和分子生物学的广泛知识是基于非常狭窄的菌株。与人类活动或工业发酵环境无关的酿酒酵母自然种群研究很少。我们从以色列卡梅尔山的天然微型站点“进化峡谷”中分离出一组酿酒酵母菌株,并研究了它们的基因组生物多样性。对19个微卫星基因座的分析显示,从二倍体到四倍体,整个等位基因组中的高等位基因多样性和倍性水平存在差异,这已通过流式细胞仪进行了确认。在来自主要地区或微生态位的菌株之间,微卫星变异水平没有发现显着差异,而具有不同倍性的菌株在等位基因含量上的相似性很低。在二倍体中观察到最大的遗传多样性,而在三倍体中观察到了最小的遗传多样性。系统发育分析显示三倍体和四倍体亚群的克隆结构,而不是有性结构。四元分析中的生存力测试还表明,在多倍体亚群中克隆繁殖可能占主导地位。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: In almost all countries, the critical point for defining the nutritional status of a population is represented by the poor source of representative data of the whole population or of the main subgroups of the population. Also, in Italy, the sources of data on the nutritional status of biochemically evaluated macro- and micronutrients are scant in relation to specific groups of the population, mainly children and the elderly. In this short review, only the nutritional status for vitamins is considered. The existing limited data, however, indicate that clinical signs of severe deficiency are not observed in Italy and the incidence of vitamin malnutrition is moderate. This is probably due to the large availability and variety of food and to Italian eating habits which reflect the typical Mediterranean dietrich, for example, in cereals, fresh fruit and vegetables, and olive oil. However, there are particular conditions, linked to lifestyle, in which the risk of a mild or moderate vitamin malnutrition increases. These include a monotonous diet, drug interactions, smoking habits and alcohol consumption.

    背景与目标: 在几乎所有国家中,界定人口营养状况的关键点是整个人口或人口主要子群体代表性数据的来源不多。同样,在意大利,与生化评估的大量和微量营养素的营养状况有关的数据来源相对于特定人群(主要是儿童和老年人)而言很少。在这篇简短的评论中,仅考虑了维生素的营养状况。然而,现有的有限数据表明,在意大利未观察到严重缺乏的临床迹象,维生素营养不良的发生率中等。这可能是由于食物的可获得性和种类繁多以及意大利人的饮食习惯,这些饮食习惯反映了典型的地中海饮食,例如谷物,新鲜水果和蔬菜以及橄榄油中的饮食。但是,在与生活方式相关的某些特殊条件下,轻度或中度维生素营养不良的风险会增加。这些包括单调饮食,药物相互作用,吸烟习惯和饮酒。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :We investigated the ability of systolic and diastolic carotid artery longitudinal wall motion (CALM) to delineate expected differences in arterial health in individuals representing a range of both age and health status. We recruited 161 younger healthy adults (aged 24 ± 5 y), 51 older healthy adults (aged 70 ± 5 y) and 14 adults with coronary artery disease (aged 67 ± 8 y) for resting assessment of CALM and arterial stiffness. All CALM parameters were reduced in the old healthy adults and adults with coronary artery disease compared with the young healthy adults (p < 0.01), with diastolic velocity and maximum diastolic acceleration being further reduced in the adults with coronary artery disease than in the older healthy adults (p < 0.01). Diastolic CALM parameters were more strongly related to age (β range: -0.46 to -0.53) than systolic CALM parameters (β range: -0.24 to -0.44). In contrast to previous examinations of a variety of CALM parameters, diastolic CALM may provide superior promise in terms of characterizing arterial wall properties, with additional sensitivity to cardiovascular disease status.
    背景与目标: :我们研究了代表年龄和健康状况范围的个体的收缩和舒张颈动脉纵向壁运动(CALM)描绘动脉健康预期差异的能力。我们招募了161名较年轻的健康成年人(24岁±5岁),51名较健康的成年人(70±5岁)和14名患有冠心病的成年人(67±8岁)进行了CALM和动脉僵硬度的静息评估。与年轻健康成年人相比,老年健康成年人和患有冠状动脉疾病的成年人的所有CALM参数均降低(p <0.01),与老年健康成年人相比,冠状动脉疾病的成年人的舒张速度和最大舒张加速进一步降低成人(p <0.01)。舒张期CALM参数与年龄(β范围:-0.46至-0.53)的相关性比收缩期CALM参数(β范围:-0.24至-0.44)更密切。与以前对各种CALM参数的检查相比,舒张期CALM在表征动脉壁特性方面可能具有更好的前景,并且对心血管疾病的状态更加敏感。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :The TIM (T cell/transmembrane, immunoglobulin and mucin) proteins are crucial regulators of Th1/Th2 immune responses and have been implicated in several diseases including HIV-1/AIDS. The TIM1 exon 4 that codes for mucin domain is highly diverse, with sequence variants associated with varying phenotypes. In this study, TIM1 exon 4 was sequenced among 227 HIV-1 seroprevalent and 288 healthy non infected individuals from North Indian population and haplotypes established. A novel but rare haplotype D1(∗) was identified among the healthy and differed from D1 by a synonymous substitution G>T at Thr208Thr. The TIM1 haplotype diversity showed no association with susceptibility to HIV-1 infection. The seroprevalent individuals carrying D3A had relatively higher median CD4+T cell counts (368/μl) than those without (313/μl; p=0.02). A comparison of CD4+T counts between D3-A individuals on ART or ART naïve did not show any significant difference plausibly due to confounding nature of ART and other factors.
    背景与目标: TIM(T细胞/跨膜,免疫球蛋白和粘蛋白)蛋白是Th1 / Th2免疫反应的关键调节剂,并与包括HIV-1 / AIDS在内的多种疾病有关。编码粘蛋白结构域的TIM1外显子4高度多样化,具有与不同表型相关的序列变体。在这项研究中,TIM1外显子4在来自北印度人口的227个HIV-1血清流行和288个健康的未感染个体中进行了测序,并建立了单倍型。在健康人群中鉴定出一种新颖但罕见的单倍型D1(∗),与D1的区别在于在Thr208Thr处的同义替代G> T。 TIM1单倍型多样性表明与HIV-1感染的易感性无关。携带D3A的血清流行个体的CD4 T细胞计数中位数相对较高(不含313 /μl; p = 0.02)。由于ART和其他因素的混杂,D3-A个体或未接受过ART的D3-A个体之间CD4 T计数的比较似乎没有显示任何显着差异。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :The effect of ascorbic acid on iron retention from a diet with predicted low iron bioavailability (containing minimal meat and ascorbic acid) was investigated in iron-depleted premenopausal women. Eleven women were depleted of storage iron (indicated by serum ferritin) through a combination of diet (5.0 mg Fe/2000 kcal for 67-88 d) and phlebotomy. They then consumed a diet containing 13.7 mg Fe/2000 kcal, supplemented with placebo or ascorbic acid three times daily (1500 mg total) with meals for 5.5 wk. Ascorbic acid improved apparent iron absorption (balance method) [38 +/- 2% (means +/- SEM) vs 27 +/- 2%]. Ascorbic acid also improved hemoglobin, erythrocyte protoporphyrins, and serum iron but not hematocrit, serum ferritin, iron-binding capacity, or transferrin saturation. In iron-depleted women consuming a diet with predicted poor iron availability, ascorbic acid supplementation enhanced body iron retention for 5.5 wk.

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :The possible combined effects of caffeine and exercise on blood pressure (BP) regulation were examined in 34 healthy, normotensive (BP less than 135/85 mm Hg) young men (mean age 27 +/- 3 years) in a placebo-controlled, double-blind crossover design. Each subject performed submaximal and symptom-limited maximal supine bicycle exercise 1 hour apart after ingestion of placebo or caffeine (3.3 mg/kg). Heart rate, BP, cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance were compared for placebo and caffeine days. Postdrug baseline showed that caffeine increased systolic and diastolic BP and peripheral vascular resistance (p less than 0.001 for each) and decreased heart rate (p less than 0.01) but did not change stroke volume or cardiac output. BP and vascular resistance effects of caffeine remained during submaximal exercise resulting in an additive increase in BP while negative chronotropic effects of caffeine disappeared. At maximal exercise substantially more subjects (15 on caffeine vs 7 on placebo, p less than 0.02) had systolic BP greater than or equal to 230 mm Hg and/or greater than or equal to 100 mm Hg for diastolic BP. Plasma norepinephrine levels were not significantly different across days, but epinephrine was higher at maximal exercise and cortisol was increased post-drug and throughout maximal exercise on caffeine days. Data indicate that caffeine increases BP additively during submaximal exercise and may cause excessive BP responses at maximal exercise for some individuals. The pressor effects of caffeine appear to be due to increasing vascular resistance rather than cardiac output.
    背景与目标: :在安慰剂对照下,对34名健康,血压正常(血压低于135/85 mm Hg的年轻人)(平均年龄27 /-3岁)中的咖啡因和运动对血压(BP)调节的可能联合作用进行了研究,双盲交叉设计。服用安慰剂或咖啡因(3.3 mg / kg)后,每位受试者间隔1小时进行次最大和症状受限的最大仰卧自行车运动。比较安慰剂和咖啡因天的心率,血压,心输出量和外周血管阻力。药物后基线显示,咖啡因可增加收缩压和舒张压以及外周血管阻力(每个P值均小于0.001)和降低心率(P值均小于0.01),但并未改变中风量或心输出量。在次最大运动量下,咖啡因的血压和血管阻力作用仍然存在,从而导致血压增加,而咖啡因的负变时效作用消失了。在最大程度的运动中,更多受试者(咖啡因为15,安慰剂为7,p小于0.02)的收缩压大于或等于230 mm Hg和/或舒张压大于或等于100 mm Hg。血浆去甲肾上腺素水平在各天之间无显着差异,但在最大运动量时,肾上腺素较高,而在咖啡因日后和整个最大运动量中,皮质醇增加。数据表明,咖啡因在次最大运动量时会增加BP,并且可能对某些个体在最大运动量时导致过度的BP反应。咖啡因的升压作用似乎是由于血管阻力增加而非心输出量增加所致。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia constitute risk factors for morbidity and premature mortality. Based on animal and in vitro studies, resveratrol reverts these risk factors via stimulation of silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1), but data in human subjects are scarce. The objective of this study was to examine the metabolic effects of high-dose resveratrol in obese human subjects. In a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, and parallel-group design, 24 obese but otherwise healthy men were randomly assigned to 4 weeks of resveratrol or placebo treatment. Extensive metabolic examinations including assessment of glucose turnover and insulin sensitivity (hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp) were performed before and after the treatment. Insulin sensitivity, the primary outcome measure, deteriorated insignificantly in both groups. Endogenous glucose production and the turnover and oxidation rates of glucose remained unchanged. Resveratrol supplementation also had no effect on blood pressure; resting energy expenditure; oxidation rates of lipid; ectopic or visceral fat content; or inflammatory and metabolic biomarkers. The lack of effect disagrees with persuasive data obtained from rodent models and raises doubt about the justification of resveratrol as a human nutritional supplement in metabolic disorders.
    背景与目标: 肥胖,糖尿病,高血压和高脂血症是发病率和过早死亡的危险因素。根据动物和体外研究,白藜芦醇通过刺激无声交配类型信息调节2同源物1(SIRT1)来逆转这些危险因素,但人类受试者的数据却很少。这项研究的目的是检查高剂量白藜芦醇在肥胖人类受试者中的代谢作用。在随机,安慰剂对照,双盲和平行组设计中,将24名肥胖但其他方面健康的男性随机分配到白藜芦醇或安慰剂治疗4周。在治疗之前和之后进行了广泛的代谢检查,包括评估葡萄糖更新和胰岛素敏感性(高胰岛素正常血糖钳夹)。两组的主要结果指标胰岛素敏感性均无显着性恶化。内源性葡萄糖的产生以及葡萄糖的周转率和氧化率保持不变。补充白藜芦醇对血压也没有影响。静息能量消耗;脂质的氧化速率;异位或内脏脂肪含量;或炎症和代谢生物标志物。缺乏效果与从啮齿动物模型获得的有说服力的数据不同,并引起人们对白藜芦醇作为代谢障碍中人类营养补充剂的合理性的怀疑。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: BACKGROUND:Optimal burn care is provided at specialized burn centers. Given the geographic location of these centers, many burn patients receive initial treatment at local emergency departments prior to transfer. The purpose of this study was to determine whether patients transferred from other facilities have worse outcomes than those admitted directly from the field. STUDY DESIGN:A retrospective cohort study was performed comparing the outcomes of patients admitted to our burn center directly from the field with patients requiring transfer from a preliminary care facility. The outcomes of interest were mortality, length of stay, length of stay/TBSA burned, number of operations and hospital charges. Poisson regression or Cox proportional hazards model was used to evaluate differences in outcomes after adjusting for potential confounders. RESULTS:From 2000 to 2003 a total of 1877 patients were admitted to our burn center and 953 (51%) were transferred from a preliminary care facility. No difference (p<0.05) was found in length of stay, number of operations, hospital charges and mortality between the two cohorts. CONCLUSIONS:This study demonstrates that patients transferred to a regional burn center from local hospitals have equivalent mortality, length of stay and hospital charges as those admitted directly from the field.
    背景与目标: 背景:在专门的烧伤中心提供最佳烧伤护理。考虑到这些中心的地理位置,许多烧伤患者在转移之前会先在当地急诊科接受初步治疗。这项研究的目的是确定从其他机构转移来的患者是否比直接从现场接受的患者具有更差的结局。
    研究设计:进行了一项回顾性队列研究,比较了直接从现场进入我们烧伤中心的患者与需要从初级保健机构转诊的患者的结局。感兴趣的结果是死亡率,住院时间,住院时间/ TBSA烧伤,手术次数和医院费用。泊松回归或Cox比例风险模型用于评估潜在混杂因素后评估结局的差异。
    结果:从2000年到2003年,共有1877名患者被收录到我们的烧伤中心,其中953名(51%)从初级护理机构转入了治疗。两组的住院时间,手术次数,住院费用和死亡率均无差异(p <0.05)。
    结论:这项研究表明,从当地医院转移到区域烧伤中心的患者的死亡率,住院时间和住院费用与直接从现场住院的患者相同。

    BACKGROUND & AIMS: :Male breast cancer (MBC) is an uncommon neoplasm that shares several biologic characteristics with its female counterpart. In the latter, abnormalities in the expression and/or copy number of the ERBB2 gene are present in 10% to 30% of invasive carcinoma and behave as poor prognostic markers. ERBB2 abnormalities have also been reported in MBC, yet at lower frequency, but their prognostic significance remains controversial. Furthermore, no study has addressed the impact of chromosome 17 abnormalities in MBC survival. In this study, the ERBB2-gene status (overexpression and amplification) and chromosome 17 numerical abnormalities were investigated in a series of 50 archival cases of MBC. The results, together with patient's age, histologic grade, pathologic stage, and estrogen receptor status were correlated with overall survival. ERBB2-protein overexpression was present in 7 cases (14%), ERBB2-gene amplification in 4 (8%), and aneuploidy of chromosome 17 in 12 cases (33.3%). The pathologic stage, ERBB2 overexpression and ERBB2 amplification were significantly correlated with overall survival (P=0.002, 0.016, and 0.009, respectively). No correlation was observed between chromosome 17 aneuploidy and overall survival. Therefore, despite their low incidence in MBC, expression abnormalities of ERBB2 behave, together with the pathologic stage of the tumor, as predictors of overall survival, akin to what has been reported for its female counterpart.
    背景与目标: :男性乳腺癌(MBC)是一种罕见的肿瘤,与女性乳腺癌具有某些生物学特性。在后者中,ERBB2基因表达和/或拷贝数异常存在于10%至30%的浸润性癌中,并表现为不良的预后指标。在MBC中也有ERBB2异常的报道,但频率较低,但其预后意义仍存在争议。此外,还没有研究解决17号染色​​体异常对MBC生存的影响。在这项研究中,对一系列50例MBC存档病例中的ERBB2基因状态(过表达和扩增)和17号染色​​体数字异常进行了研究。结果,以及患者的年龄,组织学等级,病理分期和雌激素受体状态与总体生存率相关。 ERBB2蛋白过表达7例(14%),ERBB2基因扩增4例(8%),染色体17的非整倍性12例(33.3%)。病理分期,ERBB2过表达和ERBB2扩增与总生存率显着相关(分别为P = 0.002、0.016和0.009)。在第17号染色​​体非整倍性与总体存活率之间未发现相关性。因此,尽管其在MBC中的发病率较低,但ERBB2的表达异常以及肿瘤的病理阶段仍可作为总体存活率的预测指标,类似于其女性对应物的报道。
