Abstract

: Objectives: Patients with osteoarthritis (OA) are more likely to develop coronary heart disease (CHD) than the general population. Acupuncture is commonly used in OA patients; however, the therapeutic effect of acupuncture on the risk of CHD in patients with OA and the association between OA patients and their risk to develop CHD in Taiwan are unknown. We investigated the risk of CHD according to acupuncture use in OA patients and compared it with the general population. Design: Records obtained from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database identified 84,773 patients with OA, which were compared with 727,359 patients without OA diagnosis. Five thousand forty-six of those who met study inclusion criteria had 1:1 frequency matching and were categorized as OA-acupuncture cohort (n = 1682), OA nonacupuncture cohort (n = 1682), and non-OA cohort (n = 1682). Cox proportional hazards regression analysis determined the risk of CHD, which was defined as the study main outcome. Therapeutic effects of acupuncture and medical expenditure were also analyzed. Results: OA nonacupuncture cohort had 3.04 higher risk to develop CHD compared with OA-acupuncture cohort (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.54-3.63, p < 0.001) and non-OA cohort had 1.88 higher risk to develop CHD compared with OA-acupuncture cohort (95% CI, 1.52-2.32, p < 0.001). In subgroup analyses, OA patients treated with both acupuncture and oral steroids were at significantly lower risk of CHD compared with those who used neither (adjusted hazard ratio 0.34; 95% CI, 0.22-0.53), and OA patients treated with acupuncture had the lowest medical expenditure in a follow-up time of 6 months, and 3 and 5 years. Conclusion: This is the first large-scale investigation in Taiwan that shows the association between OA and CHD and the beneficial effects of acupuncture in OA patients, and their associated risk to develop CHD. Our results may provide valuable information for health policy decision making. Further randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these observational findings.

摘要

: 目标: 骨关节炎 (OA) 患者比普通人群更容易发生冠心病 (CHD)。针灸常用于OA患者; 然而,针灸对OA患者CHD风险的治疗效果以及OA患者与他们在台湾发展为CHD的风险之间的关联尚不清楚。我们调查了OA患者针刺治疗的冠心病风险,并与普通人群进行了比较。 设计: 从台湾国家健康保险研究数据库获得的记录确定了84,773例OA患者,并与727,359例没有OA诊断的患者进行了比较。1682名符合研究纳入标准的患者具有1:1的频率匹配,并被归类为OA-针灸队列 (n   =   1682) 、OA非针灸队列 (n   =   1682) 和非OA队列 (n   =  )。Cox比例风险回归分析确定了CHD的风险,这被定义为研究的主要结果。并对针灸的疗效和医疗费用进行了分析。 结果: OA非针灸队列与OA针灸队列相比,发生CHD的风险高3.04 (95% 置信区间 [CI],2.54-3.63,p <0.001),而非OA队列与OA针灸队列相比,发生CHD的风险高1.88 (95% CI,1.52-2.32,P <0.001)。在亚组分析中,同时接受针灸和口服类固醇治疗的OA患者与未接受针灸和口服类固醇治疗的患者相比,CHD风险显著降低 (校正风险比0.34; 95% CI,0.22-0.53),在6个月的随访时间中,接受针灸治疗的OA患者的医疗费用最低,3年和5年。 结论: 这是台湾首次大规模调查,显示OA和CHD之间的关联,以及针灸对OA患者的有益作用,以及它们发展为CHD的相关风险。我们的结果可能为卫生政策决策提供有价值的信息。需要进一步的随机对照试验来证实这些观察性研究结果。

METHODS::The ATP binding-cassette superfamily corresponds the mostly transmembrane transporters family found in humans. These proteins actively transport endogenous and exogenous substrates through biological membranes in body tissues, so they have an important role in the regulation of many physiological functions necessary for human homeostasis, as well as in response regulation to several pharmacological substrates. The development of multidrug resistance has become one of the main troubles in conventional chemotherapy in different illnesses including cancer, being the increased efflux of antineoplastic drugs the main reason for this multidrug resistance, with a key role of the ABC superfamily. Likely, the interindividual variability in the pharmacological response among patients is well known, and may be due to intrinsically factors of the disease, genetic and environmental ones. Thus, the understanding of this variability, especially the genetic variability associated with the efficacy and toxicity of drugs, can provide a safer and more effective pharmacological treatment, so ABC genes are considered as important regulators due to their relationship with the reduction in pharmacological response. In this review, updated information about transporters belonging to this superfamily was collected, the possible role of these transporters in cancer, the role of genetic variability in their genes, as well as some therapeutic tools that have been tried to raise against main transporters associated with chemoresistance in cancer.

METHODS:BACKGROUND:Cholinergic neurotransmission regulates neuroinflammation in Parkinson disease (PD). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS:The authors conducted a delayed-start study of donepezil for cognitive decline in non-demented PD patients. The study consisted of a 96-week randomized placebo-controlled double-blind phase 1, followed by a 24-week donepezil extension phase 2. The primary outcome measure was a change in the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) at week 120. RESULTS:A total of 98 patients were randomly allocated to the early-start (donepezil-to-donepezil) and delayed-start (placebo-to-donepezil) groups. Mean (SD) of the baseline MMSE was 27.6 (2.0) and 28.0 (2.1), respectively. MMSE change at week 120 was better in the early-start group than in the delayed-start group, but the difference was not significant. The MMSE declined in apolipoprotein ε4 carriers, but not in non-carriers, and the factor interaction (intervention × ε4 genotype) was highly significant (P < 0.001). Analyzed with the interaction, the difference was significant (group difference 1.95 [0.33 to 3.57], P = 0.018). The MMSE decline slope in phase 1 was significantly better in the early-start group than in the delayed-start group (P = 0.048). CONCLUSIONS:Cognitive function deteriorated in ε4 carriers, but not in non-carriers, and early-start donepezil may postpone cognitive decline in the former.

METHODS::Since the discovery of dental pulp stem cells, a lot of teams have expressed an interest in dental pulp regeneration. Many approaches, experimental models and biological explorations have been developed, each including the use of stem cells and scaffolds with the final goal being clinical application in humans. In this review, the authors' objective was to compare the experimental models and strategies used for the development of biomaterials for tissue engineering of dental pulp with stem cells. Electronic queries were conducted on PubMed using the following terms: pulp regeneration, scaffold, stem cells, tissue engineering and biomaterial. The extracted data included the following information: the strategy envisaged, the type of stem cells, the experimental models, the exploration or analysis methods, the cytotoxicity or viability or proliferation cellular tests, the tests of scaffold antibacterial properties and take into account the vascularization of the regenerated dental pulp. From the 71 selected articles, 59% focused on the "cell-transplantation" strategy, 82% used in vitro experimentation, 58% in vivo animal models and only one described an in vivo in situ human clinical study. 87% used dental pulp stem cells. A majority of the studies reported histology (75%) and immunohistochemistry explorations (66%). 73% mentioned the use of cytotoxicity, proliferation or viability tests. 48% took vascularization into account but only 6% studied the antibacterial properties of the scaffolds. This article gives an overview of the methods used to regenerate dental pulp from stem cells and should help researchers create the best development strategies for research in this field.
