RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the associated factors of endogenous erythropoietin (EPO) and its association with 10-year risks of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in a Chinese community-based general population. METHODS: The participants of this study were from an atherosclerosis cohort survey which was established by the Department of Cardiology, Peking University First Hospital in 2011. The cohort survey was performed in the Gucheng and Pingguoyuan communities of Shijingshan district in Beijing, China. The inclusion criteria of this study were: (1) endogenous EPO was measured; (2) health questionnaire data and other clinical data were complete; (3) participatants who had cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases (defined as self-reported coronary heart disease, stroke or transient ischemic attack) or anemia or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/(min·1.73 m2) at baseline were excluded. Multivariate linear regression model was used to examine the associated factors of endogenous EPO. The participants were grouped into low (< 5%), moderate (5%-10%) and high risk (≥10%) groups, based on predicted 10-year cardiovascular disease risk using the prediction for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk in China (China-PAR) equations. RESULTS: A total of 4 013 participants were included. Mean age of them was (55.9±8.2) years, 62.2% (n=2 496) of them were female, and 46.3% (n=1 859), 70.9% (n=2 845), 21.9% (n=879) had hypertension, dyslipidemia and diabetes, individually. The average body mass index was (26.1±3.3) kg/m2. The median of EPO level was 12.8 (9.3-17.4) IU/L and 25.1% (n=998) were at high 10-years risk of cardiovascular disease. Hemoglobin (ß=-0.05, 95%CI: -0.07 to -0.04) and eGFR ≥90 mL/(min·1.73 m2) (ß=-0.05, 95%CI: -0.07 to -0.04) were associated with lower in transformed EPO levels while hypertension (ß=0.08, 95%CI: 0.05 to 0.12) and obesity (ß=0.14, 95%CI: 0.09 to 0.18) were associated with higher in transformed EPO levels in multivariate linear regression analyses. Ten-year cardiovascular disease risks were positively associated with in transformed EPO levels (ß=0.07, 95%CI: 0.05 to 0.09). The participants at moderate and high cardiovascular disease risks had significant higher EPO levels than the low risk group (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: In community-based Beijing populations, endogenous EPO was associated with hemoglobin, renal function, obesity and hypertension. Individuals at high 10-years cardiovascular disease risks have higher endogenous EPO levels. Endogenous EPO may be a potential risk marker of cardiovascular disease.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To explore the efficacy of electroacupuncture (EA) based on the "ascending lucidity and descending turbidity" theory in patients with diabetic gastrointestinal dysfunction and its regulatory effect on gut microbiota. METHODS: A total of 48 patients with diabetic gastrointestinal dysfunction were randomly divided into the EA group (24 cases, 3 cases dropped-off) and the control group (24 cases, no dropped off). Both groups received blood glucose control and basic symptomatic treatment. EA (15 Hz/100 Hz) was applied to Zhongwan (CV12), Tianshu (ST25), Zhongfu (LU1), bilateral Zhangmen (LR13), bilateral Taibai (SP3), bilateral Taiyuan (LU9), bilateral Zusanli (ST36), and bilateral Shangjuxu (ST37) in the EA group. Sham EA was applied to corresponding non-acupoints without electric stimulation in the control group. Both groups received treatment for 30 min per time, once daily, for a total of 5 treatments followed by a 2-day break, over a consecutive period of 2 weeks. Symptoms were evaluated by gastrointestinal symptom rating scale (GSRS) and gastroparesis cardinal symptom index (GCSI) before and after treatment, and 4 weeks after treatment. During the treatment period, fasting blood glucose levels were monitored daily. Stool samples were collected before and after treatment for 16S rDNA sequencing analysis to examine changes in gut microbiota. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, GSRS and GCSI scores in the EA group were significantly decreased (P<0.001) after treatment and at follow-up at the same time point, and compared with those before treatment, GSRS and GCSI scores in the EA group were significantly decreased after treatment and at follow-up (P<0.001). After treatment, the 16S rDNA sequencing showed that at the phylum level, the ratio of Proteobacteria in the EA group was higher than that in the control group (FDR<0.05). At the genus level, a total of 18 different gut microbiota were identified between the two groups. Compared to the control group, patients in the EA group showed a significant decrease in the abundance of Pseudomonas and Alkalibacter (FDR<0.05), while the abundance of the remaining 16 gut microbiota was significantly increased (FDR<0.05). Compared to the baseline, the EA group showed a significant up-regulation of Olsenella (FDR<0.05) and a significant down-regulation of Pseudomonas (FDR<0.05) after treatment. CONCLUSIONS: EA based on the "ascending lucidity and descending turbidity" theory can effectively improve the symptoms of patients with diabetic gastrointestinal dysfunction. EA can also affect the distribution of gut microbiota by up-regulating the levels of certain beneficial bacteria and suppressing pathogenic bacteria .

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture in the treatment of the vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) associated with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD-VCI) and to provide a theoretical basis for clinical acupuncture treatment for CSVD-VCI. METHOD: Various databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database, Chinese BioMedical Literature Service System, PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and EBSCOhost, were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) related to acupuncture treatment for CSVD-VCI. The quality of the included trials was evaluated, and a meta-analysis was conducted using the Review Manager 5.4 software. RESULTS: Ten articles on RCTs were included, involving 761 patients, i.e., 381 in the acupuncture group and 380 in the control group. The meta-analysis results indicated that the use of acupuncture alone and acupuncture alongside other therapies for CSVD-VCI could improve the overall clinical response rate [odds ratio = 3.51, 95% confidence interval (CI) = (2.05, 6.00), P < 0.00001], increase the patients' Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores [mean difference (MD) = 3.33, 95%CI (2.98, 3.68), P < 0.00001], Mini-Mental State Examination scores [MD = 2.78, 95%CI (2.51, 3.06), P < 0.00001], and activities of daily living scores [MD = 6.30, 95%CI (4.22, 8.37), P < 0.00001], and shorten the latency of auditory evoked potential P300 [MD = -14.67, 95%CI (-19.54, -9.80), P < 0.00001]. CONCLUSION: Acupuncture alone and acupuncture alongside other therapies are superior to non-acupuncture-based therapies in the treatment of CSVD-VCI. However, due to the small number of relevant available articles and their general low quality, this conclusion may be biased. More clinical RCTs with a larger sample size and higher quality are needed to support this theory.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The prognostic value of supra-clavicular lymph node (SCLN) metastases in esophageal cancer (EC) is still not clear. METHOD: From January 2009 to December 2015, a survival analysis was performed to retrospectively identify the prognostic value of SCLN metastasis on survival on 751 patients with EC treated with definitive chemo-radiotherapy (dCRT). RESULTS: The median follow-up duration for living patients was 56.6 months. The median overall survival (OS) for all patients was 16.6 months. Patients with SCLN metastasis had a much poorer prognosis for OS (χ2 = 17.342, P < 0.001), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) (χ2 = 24.793, P < 0.001) and progression-free survival (PFS) (χ2 = 25.802, P < 0.001) than those without SCLN metastasis. The same results were found after propensity score matching. Nonetheless, the prognosis of patients with cervical or upper thoracic EC metastasis in SCLN was better than those of patients with middle or lower thoracic EC metastasis in SCLN for OS (χ2 = 4.516, P = 0.038), DMFS (χ2 = 8.326, P = 0.004) and PFS (χ2 = 6.255, P = 0.012). Univariate analysis showed that gender, middle or lower thoracic EC with SCLN metastasis, tumor length, tumor diameter, concurrent chemo-radiotherapy (CCR) and number of lymph nodes were prognostic factors for PFS. Gender, age, middle or lower thoracic EC with SCLN metastasis, tumor diameter, tumor length, and number of lymph nodes were prognostic factors for DMFS. According to the multivariate analysis, only middle or lower thoracic EC with SCLN metastasis and number of lymph nodes were independent prognostic factors for DMFS and PFS. CONCLUSION: For patients with cervical or upper thoracic EC, metastasis in SCLN should be considered to be regional lymph nodes and treated with curative intent if the total number of lymph nodes is limited. However, for patients with middle or lower thoracic EC, metastasis should be considered to be a higher level N stage or M1 stage, and it is thus necessary to provide consolidation chemotherapy after dCRT.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To compare therapeutic effects of acupuncture and mosapride in relieving diabetic gastroparesis. METHODS: Forty cases were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, 20 cases in each group. The treatment group were treated by acupuncture at Zhongwan (CV 12) and Zusanli (ST 36), and the control group by oral administration of mosapride 5 mg, t. i. d. Their therapeutic effects were evaluated by indexes of therapeutic effect. RESULTS: The total effective rate was 95.0% in the treatment group and 83.3% in the control group with a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05), and the adverse effect in the treatment group was less than that in the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Acupuncture can significantly relieve diabetic gastroparesis, the therapeutic effect being better than mosapride, with a less adverse effects.
