الوصف: This study aimed to assess the possible role of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) in promoting neutrophilic inflammation in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) patients.We examined HIF-1α expression in sinonasal tissues from CRSwNP patients and healthy controls by using immunohistochemistry, qRT-PCR, and western blot. Next, the stimulatory effects of several cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-17A, IL-6, etc.) and reagents (dexamethasone (DEX), clarithromycin (CAM) and curcumin (CUM)) on HIF-1α expression in cultured normal nasal epithelial cells (NECs) were also evaluated. Moreover, the effects of CAM and glucocorticoid on nasal symptoms and signs of uncontrolled neutrophilic CRSwNP patients were evaluated.The mRNA and protein expression of HIF-1α were significantly increased in polyp tissues compared with healthy controls (P 0.05), and the HIF-1α level in polyp tissues was positively associated with IL-17A production and tissue neutrophilia (P 0.05). Moreover, in cultured NECs, HIF-1α expression was upregulated in the presence of IL-17A and IL-6 (P 0.05). Both CAM and CUM showed an additive effect with DEX in inhibiting HIF-1α expression (P 0.05). Moreover, combined glucocorticoid and CAM significantly improved nasal symptoms and signs compared with glucocorticoid alone in uncontrolled neutrophilic CRSwNP patients (P 0.05).Our findings indicate that HIF-1α is associated with neutrophilic inflammation and glucocorticoid resistance in CRSwNP patients.

الوصف: BACKGROUND: Selective fetoscopic laser coagulation of the intertwin anastomotic chorionic vessels is the first-line treatment for twin-twin transfusion syndrome. However, in stage 1 twin-twin transfusion syndrome, the risks of intrauterine surgery may be higher than those of the natural progression of the condition. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare immediate surgery and expectant follow-up in stage 1 twin-twin transfusion syndrome. STUDY DESIGN: We conducted a multicentric randomized trial, which recruited from 2011 to 2018 with a 6-month postnatal follow-up. The study was conducted in 9 fetal medicine centers in Europe and the Unites States. Asymptomatic women with stage 1 twin-twin transfusion syndrome between 16 and 26 weeks' gestation, a cervix of >15 mm, and access to a surgical center within 48 hours of diagnosis were randomized between expectant management and immediate surgery. In patients allocated to immediate laser treatment, percutaneous laser coagulation of anastomotic vessels was performed within 72 hours. In patients allocated to expectant management, a weekly ultrasound follow-up was planned. Rescue fetoscopic coagulation of anastomoses was offered if the syndrome worsened as seen during a follow-up, either because of progression to a higher Quintero stage or because of the maternal complications of polyhydramnios. The primary outcome was survival at 6 months without severe neurologic morbidity. Severe complications of prematurity and maternal morbidity were secondary outcomes. RESULTS: The trial was stopped at 117 of 200 planned inclusions for slow accrual rate over 7 years: 58 women were allocated to expectant management and 59 to immediate laser treatment. Intact survival was seen in 84 of 109 (77%) expectant cases and in 89 of 114 (78%) (P=.88) immediate surgery cases, and severe neurologic morbidity occurred in 5 of 109 (4.6%) and 3 of 114 (2.6%) (P=.49) cases in the expectant and immediate surgery groups, respectively. In patients followed expectantly, 24 of 58 (41%) cases remained stable with dual intact survival in 36 of 44 (86%) cases at 6 months. Intact survival was lower following surgery than for the nonprogressive cases, although nonsignificantly (78% and 71% following immediate and rescue surgery, respectively). CONCLUSION: It is unlikely that early fetal surgery is of benefit for stage 1 twin-twin transfusion syndrome in asymptomatic pregnant women with a long cervix. Although expectant management is reasonable for these cases, 60% of the cases will progress and require rapid transfer to a surgical center. ispartof: AMERICAN JOURNAL OF OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY vol:224 issue:5 ispartof: location:United States status: published

الوصف: Background Obesity and insulin resistance are positively correlated with plasma endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels; however, the mechanisms leading to increased ET-1 are not understood. Similarly, the full physiological complexity of ET-1 has yet to be described, especially in obesity. To date, one of the best treatments available for morbid obesity is bariatric surgery to quickly reduce body fat and the factors associated with obesity-related disease; however, the effects of vertical sleeve gastrectomy (SG) on plasma ET-1 have not been described. Objectives To determine if SG will reduce plasma ET-1 levels and to determine if plasma ET-1 concentration is associated with weight loss after surgery. Setting The studies were undertaken at a University Hospital. Methods This was tested by measuring plasma ET-1 levels from 12 obese patients before and after SG. All data were collected from clinic visits before SG, 6 weeks after SG, and 6 months after surgery. Results At 6 weeks after SG, plasma ET-1 levels increased by 24%; however, after 6 months, there was a 27% decrease compared with presurgery. Average weight loss in this cohort was 11.3% ± 2.4% body weight after 6 weeks and 21.4% ± 5.7% body weight after 6 months. Interestingly, we observed an inverse relationship between baseline plasma ET-1 and percent body weight loss (R2 = .49, P = .01) and change in body mass index 6 months (R2 = .45, P = .011) post bariatric surgery. Conclusions Our results indicate that SG reduces plasma ET-1 levels, a possible mechanism for improved metabolic risk in these patients. These data also suggest that ET-1 may serve as a predictor of weight loss after bariatric surgery.

الوصف: Summary Bariatric surgery is widely used to treat obesity and improves type 2 diabetes beyond expectations from the degree of weight loss. Elevated post-prandial concentrations of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), peptide YY (PYY), and insulin are widely reported, but the importance of GLP-1 in post-bariatric physiology remains debated. Here, we show that GLP-1 is a major driver of insulin secretion after bariatric surgery, as demonstrated by blocking GLP-1 receptors (GLP1Rs) post-gastrectomy in lean humans using Exendin-9 or in mice using an anti-GLP1R antibody. Transcriptomics and peptidomics analyses revealed that human and mouse enteroendocrine cells were unaltered post-surgery; instead, we found that elevated plasma GLP-1 and PYY correlated with increased nutrient delivery to the distal gut in mice. We conclude that increased GLP-1 secretion after bariatric surgery arises from rapid nutrient delivery to the distal gut and is a key driver of enhanced insulin secretion.
Graphical Abstract
Highlights • Increased postprandial GLP-1 triggers higher insulin levels after bariatric surgery • Bariatric surgery does not change enteroendocrine cell identity or hormone content • Increased nutrient flow to the distal gut after surgery enhances GLP-1 secretion
Bariatric surgery is associated with enhanced postprandial gut hormone release, particularly of GLP-1, which increases insulin secretion and glucose clearance. Larraufie et al. show that higher gut hormone levels are due not to changes in enteroendocrine cell characteristics or tissue hormone content but to altered flow of nutrients that stimulates more distal enteroendocrine cells.وصف الملف: application/pdf; application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document

الوصف: Antibodies against angiotensin II type-1 receptors (AT1R) have been increasingly recognized in association with rejection and poor allograft outcomes. Our goal was to define the prevalence of preformed antibodies against AT1R and evaluate the association with renal allograft outcomes in a consecutive cohort of 150 transplant recipients. IgG antibodies against AT1R were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using cryopreserved serum samples obtained for HLA testing at the time of transplantation. Results were categorized as negative if 10 U/mL (44%), intermediate from 10 to 17 U/mL (38%), or strongly positive if17 U/mL (18%). The presence of AT1R antibodies was inversely associated with age, dialysis status, and diabetes. We found a strong association between the presence of AT1R antibodies and acute cellular rejection using multivariate analyses, odds ratio 3.86 (95% CI, 1.03-14.47) for intermediate titers and 9.99 (95% CI, 2.6-38.4) for strongly positive titers. There was no association with HLA sensitization or C4d-positive antibody-mediated rejection. We did not observe a significant association with graft failure, allograft function, or proteinuria. Preformed AT1R antibodies are prevalent and highly associated with acute cellular rejection early after transplant, independent of anti-HLA antibodies. The presence of AT1R antibodies correlates with recipient characteristics that may denote stronger immune responses. Future studies are needed to evaluate the mechanism and causative effect of AT1R antibodies.

الوصف: Objective: Keloids are exuberant cutaneous scars that form due to abnormal growth of fibrous tissue following an injury. The primary aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and mechanism of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to reduce the keloid recurrence rate after surgical excision and radiotherapy. Methods: (1) A total of 240 patients were randomly divided into two groups. Patients in the HBOT group (O group) received HBOT after surgical excision and radiotherapy. Patients in the other group were treated with only surgical excision and radiotherapy (K group). (2) Scar tissue from recurrent patients was collected after a second operation. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining was used to observe keloid morphology. Certain inflammatory factors (interleukin-6 (IL-6), hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)) were measured using immunohistochemical staining. Results: (1) The recurrence rate of the O group (5.97%) was significantly lower than that of the K group (14.15%), P

الوصف: Analysis of a national database. To analyze trends in spinal fusion surgery for neurofibromatosis type I (NF-1) patients and to compare the surgical approaches. The preferred surgical approach for fusion treatment of spinal deformity in NF is not well established. We identified 548 patients with a diagnosis of NF-1 who had received spinal fusion surgery between 2003 and 2014. We compared posterior spinal fusion (PSF), anterior-posterior spinal fusion (APSF), and anterior spinal fusion with respect to patient demographics, institutional characteristics, in-hospital complications, and hospitalization lengths and costs. Significance was set at a value of p less than .05. The number of spinal fusions for NF-1 significantly increased (p = .02) over the study period. The rate of PSF surgeries increased 2.9-fold, whereas the rate of APSF surgeries decreased 2.2-fold. There was also a significant association between the location of the fusion and surgical approach (p

الوصف: BACKGROUND: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) has been identified as a predisposing factor in the development of pilocytic astrocytoma (PA), a common benign central nervous system tumor. Although this is a common association, simultaneous development of multiple lesions is an infrequent finding, especially in nonoptic and hypothalamic locations. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 41-year-old female patient with NF1 and uncontrolled human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 infection presented with a first generalized seizure and associated headache and ataxia. Imaging studies revealed 2 large intra-axial PAs, nodular-cystic in the supratentorial compartment and solid in the infratentorial compartment. Both lesions were treated by gross total resection in 2 surgeries performed 1 week apart. Despite their different imaging patterns, the tumors were histologically and genetically identical. CONCLUSIONS: We present a unique case involving 2 histologically and genetically identical PAs occurring simultaneously in supratentorial and infratentorial locations. We suggest that an intrinsic predisposition to tumor development in patients with NF1 might have been enhanced by the HIV-related immunosuppression in this case. Strict oncologic surveillance is essential in patients with a tumor predisposition syndrome combined with immunosuppression. info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

الوصف: Background It remains challenging to manage antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) associated with angiotensin II type 1 receptor antibodies (AT1R-Abs) in kidney transplant recipients and the outcomes are not well defined. We describe the presentation, clinical course, and outcomes of this condition. Methods This retrospective study included kidney transplant recipients with AT1R-Ab levels ≥10 units/mL and biopsy-proven ABMR in the absence of significant HLA-donor-specific antibodies at the time of rejection. Results We identified 13 recipients. Median creatinine (Cr) at rejection was significantly higher (2.05 mg/dL) compared with baseline (1.2 mg/dL), P = .006. After ABMR management, the difference in median Cr was not significant (1.5 mg/dL), P = .152. Median AT1R-Ab level was higher in the pretransplant sample (34.5 units/mL) compared with the level at rejection (19 units/mL) and after rejection treatment (13 units/mL); however, these differences were not significant, P = .129. Eight of the 13 recipients received antibody reduction therapy with plasmapheresis and intravenous immunoglobulin, and 5 of the 13 recipients had other therapies. After rejection management, 6 of the 13 recipients had improvement in Cr to baseline and 7 of the 13 recipients had > 50% reduction in proteinuria. Conclusions AT1R-Ab–associated ABMR management and outcomes depend on the clinical presentation and may include antibody-reducing therapies among other therapies. Further prospective cohorts will improve recognizing and managing this condition.
