Relationship Between Early Menopause, Estrogens Receptor A Polymorphism, Vitamin D3 Receptor Polymorphisms and Osteoporosis in a Mediterranean Population

Abstract

In order to clarify the role of candidate genes for the osteoporosis related phenotypes, we have investigated among polymorphism of the ESR1 gene and polymorphism of VDR3 gene in the relation to BMD and bone loss in a population of women of the southern Italy who underwent early (35-45 years old) menopause. The bone mineral density of all subjects was measured by Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Molecular analyses were performed on ERa and VDR3 genes exons using both sequencing and RFLP technology. All women showed an average DEXA value less than -2,5. We have identified polymorphisms in the coding region of ESR1 gene that is well correlated with the bone status of the affected subjects. Vitamin D3 receptor also presents polymorphisms and is evident only in the affected subjects. The identified polymorphism of ESR1 is present only in osteoporotic patients and absent in normal subjects, such as the vitamin D receptor. Furthermore all the subjects that show such polymorphisms have DEXA values lesser than -2.5 showing a relationship between the above polymorphisms and bone loss. This let us to hypothesize that identification of polymorphism of ESR1 and vitamin D3 receptor could be a tool for early diagnosis of osteoporosis in early menopause woman.

Complication and Sequelae of Pulmonary Tuberculosis: A Tertiary Care Center Experience

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a grave infectious disease caused by the bacillus Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). Pulmonary tuberculosis remains an important public health problem globally and one of most common infectious disease. Tuberculosis can cause wide variety of complication respiratory or non-respiratory. We studied complication and sequelae of pulmonary tuberculosis.

Methodology: A prospective observational study was conducted, the study included all patients presenting with complications of tuberculosis in newly diagnosed and previously treated patients referred to the Pulmonary Medicine Department. Patients not willing to give consent for the study or the patient with incomplete data were excluded. TB was diagnosed on the basis of sputum Gene Expert, Line Probe Assay and Conventional Drug Sensitivity testing.

Results: Of the total 310 cases, 176(57%) patients were males and 134(43%) were female patients. The mean age of all patients was 41.72 years. Among the 310 cases 293(95%) were drug sensitive tuberculosis and 17(5%) patients were of drug resistant tuberculosis. Out of the 310 patients; 160(51%) patients had post TB COPD as complication of TB. Most common complication was post TB COPD while least common was BPF seen in 8(2.5%) patients. The most common co-morbidity was DM which was seen in 15 (5%) patients. Cough was most common among various symptom with which patient presented to hospital. Out of 310 patient who had complication due to tuberculosis 301(97%) patient were hospitalised and 9(3%) patients were treated on OPD basis. Most common complication which leads to hospitalisation was post TB COPD with or without respiratory failure.

Conclusion: Complications are part of spectrum of tuberculosis, however early diagnosis and management will help in salvaging of precious life.

Effects of Selenium Nanoparticles on Bleomycin-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis in Rats

Abstract

Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is one of the interstitial lung diseases. To date, most drug trials for the treatment of IPF have yielded disappointing results. Recently, selenium nano-particles (SeNP) have received attention for potential use in treatments, due in part to their established abilities to exert size-dependent anti-oxidant/-inflammatory effects.

Materials and Methods: the rats were treated with SeNPs by intraperitoneal injection (0.5mg SeNP/kg) for five consecutive days in the inflammatory phase (a day after injection of bleomycin) and fibrotic phase (a week after injection of bleomycin).

Results: The results showed that administration of SeNP during the inflammatory phase improved the activity of enzymes antioxidant (i.e., glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase) and also led to significant decreases in interleukin (IL)-6 and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in lung homogenates. Histopathology, measures of lung index and body weight, and evaluations of lungs using Ashcroft criteria supported the mitigative effects found above. Notably, treatment with the SeNP during the fibrotic phase imparted no ameliorative effects. Lastly, the SeNP themselves seemed to impart no overt toxicities in naïve rat hosts.

Conclusion: Thus, the findings suggest that SeNP, in part by improving the antioxidant enzyme activities, might impart a therapeutic effect against PF induced by bleomycin in rats. This potentially might mean that SeNP could represent a new therapeutic for treatment of this disease, at least in its earliest phases.

Effect of Vitamin D on Glucose Homeostasis, Sensitivity and Insulin Resistance in Type 2 Diabetes

Abstract

Background: In recent years, non-bone diseases have been reported with vitamin D deficiency, one of them is type 2 diabetes, which is a group of metabolic disorders caused by insulin action deficiency. Evidences suggest that vitamin D deficiency affects the metabolic function of cells, including beta-pancreatic cells. Regarding the fact that some studies have shown the effect of vitamin D on control of type 2 diabetes, the present study aims to review on the relationship between vitamin D, glucose homeostasis and insulin resistance type 2 diabetes.  

Methods: This study is a review on descriptive and analytic studies which accessed data using biochemical tests, questionnaires and interviews. By using key words on vitamin D, type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance, 10 articles including descriptive-analytic, cross-sectional, case-control and interventional types from 1986 to 2018 were conducted.  

Results: Many studies have shown that vitamin D levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in diabetics, women, and obese people are lower than others. It shows the effect of vitamin D on glucose homeostasis. In addition, vitamin D has an effect on intracellular calcium therefore it influences on insulin secretion. It can be said that vitamin D deficiency causes calcium inefficiency to regulate insulin secretion.

Conclusion: According to studies, it can be concluded that vitamin D might be effective in preventing type 2 diabetes and its controlling. Also, there is no association between vitamin D and insulin secreted by food and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c).

Impact of Wetland Surface Area on Seasonal Daily Extreme Flow Characteristics during the Summer-Fall Season in Southern Quebec (Canada)

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to determine the impact of wetlands on the characteristics (magnitude, frequency, duration, timing and variability flow) of daily maximum and minimum extreme flows in summer-fall season (July to November) over the 1945-2019 period in Petite Nation watershed. Three relatively close watersheds [Matawin River (1,390km²), Petite Nation River (1,330km²) and L’Assomption River (1,340km²)], which are differentiated mainly by the types of land use (wetland and agricultural areas), were studied. In the Petite Nation River watershed, which has the largest wetland surface area (15%), the frequency of flood occurrence significantly decreased, resulting in a decrease in the magnitude and duration of seasonally daily maximum flows and their early occurrence during the season. In contrast, the interannual rate change flow in the timing and duration of these flows is greater than that observed in the other two watersheds. The “sponge effect” of wetlands on daily maximum flows was not observed on daily minimum flows, whose magnitude is not significantly different from those of the Matawin River (reference watershed). In contrast, in the Petite Nation watershed, minimum flows last longer and occur on average later in the season than in the other two watersheds.

Malignant Arterial Hypertension Revealing Focal Segmental Hyalinosis

Abstract

Malignant arterial hypertension (MAH) is a hypertensive emergency associated with grade III or IV retinopathy. Focal segmental hyalinosis (FSH), of late onset, is one of its rare entities, with an incidence of 7 per million, responsible for 15-20% of nephrotic syndromes in adults. We report a case of segmental and focal hyalinosis in a 27-year-old patient with no previous history of malignant hypertension, who consulted us for neurosensory signs and ocular redness. The clinical examination showed a hypertensive peak at 240/150mm Hg with myocardial hypertrophy confirmed by electrocardiogram and transthoracic echo. A fundus examination completed by an optical coherence tomography revealed a KIRKENDAL stage III retinopathy associated with an occlusion of a branch of the central retinal vein. An impure nephrotic syndrome associated with renal failure was observed. A biopsy of a fragment of renal parenchyma supplemented by pathology was performed in favour of FH with chronic tubulointerstitial disease. The patient was managed urgently with nicardipine 3-5mg/hr by electric syringe within 24 hours, followed by a triad of antihypertensive drugs consisting of amlodipine, indapamide and Ramipril at full dose combined with prednisone 60mg/day for 4 months with a 6 month taper. The evolution was marked by a normalisation of the renal function, disappearance of the proteinuria and even a normalisation of his eye fundus after one year. FSH constitutes a group of heterogeneous pathologies with multiple causes, of which malignant hypertension is a secondary one, requiring not only symptomatic but also etiological management.

How Important It Is to Produce Seeds for The Aquaculture of Bivalve Molluscs?

Abstract

Fishery products are an important part of the diet in many countries of the world, where demand increases proportionally with population growth. The greater request of seafood products refers to fish, however, the production and harvest of molluscs, especially bivalves, will also play a key role in satisfying this growing market. To meet this demand, it is necessary to have an available number of organisms, which may be the product of either fishing or aquaculture. Nevertheless, there are not enough studies about the biological and ecological characteristics of these resources that guarantee maintainable production. This makes it difficult to carry out sustainable and adequate exploitation of the natural wealth. Alternatives involve either the repopulation of natural banks or the seed production, which can be used in aquaculture farming’s for the production of bivalves until their commercial size. In either case, it is necessary to continue researching in the biology of the bivalves and innovating working methods to produce mollusc seeds and meet the demands of the emergent market.
