Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) infection was common worldwide and previous researches on the correlation between H pylori infection and metabolic abnormality provided inconsistent conclusions. We assessed acute H pylori infection prevalence and the relationship with metabolic abnormality in general Chinese population. Participants attending for the physical examination underwent a carbon-13 urea breath test. For individual, the following data were collected: age, gender, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total protein, albumin, globulin (GLB), total bilirubin, direct bilirubin (DBIL), indirect bilirubin, alanine transaminase, glutamyl transpeptidase, alkaline phosphatase, cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, urea nitrogen, creatinine, uric acid, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and homocysteine...

The aim of present study was to determine the optimal concentration of dietary protein required in transition diets for multiparous sows that enhance the farrowing process, colostrum production, and subsequent lactation performance. Forty-eight multiparous sows were allotted to one of six dietary treatments according to bodyweight (290 ± 3 kg) and parity (3.8 ± 0.2) from d 108 of gestation until 24 h after the onset of farrowing. The diets were isoenergetic and contained increasing concentrations of dietary protein (expressed as standardized ileal digestible [SID] Lys) and were supplied at a daily feed supply of 3...

The identification of patients with craniotomy at high risk for postoperative 30-day mortality may contribute to achieving targeted delivery of interventions. The present study aimed to develop a personalized nomogram and scoring system for predicting the risk of postoperative 30-day mortality in such patients. In this retrospective cross-sectional study, 18,642 patients with craniotomy were stratified into a training cohort (n=7,800; year of surgery, 2012-2013) and an external validation cohort (n=10,842; year of surgery, 2014-2015)...

BACKGROUND: There is an urgent need to identify undetermined risk factors for sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) for the development of effective treatment strategies. SSNHL is likely associated with vascular insufficiency; however, no study has evaluated the relationship between dehydration and SSNHL.

Farmgate balances are used as a tool for monitoring nutrient surpluses at farm level. In Germany, preparation of farmgate balances is legally mandatory and also requires data on chemical body composition, especially concentration of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), of farm animals. It is well known that increased N and P efficiency results in lowered N and P excretions with the manure and therefore mitigates negative consequences of high N and P release into the environment (e.g. eutrophication of surface waters), especially in areas with high livestock density...

PURPOSE: Alarm symptoms (red flag signs) are crucial indications for management decisions on pediatric gastrointestinal endoscopy. We aimed to identify items in the alarm symptoms and pre-endoscopic investigations that predict abnormal endoscopy results. METHODS: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted among children aged under 18 years undergoing endoscopy. The patients were classified into normal and abnormal endoscopic groups.

Whole blood analysis can evaluate numerous parameters, including pH, pCO₂, pO₂, HCO₃- , base excess, glucose, electrolytes, lactate, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, bilirubin, and hemoglobin. This valuable tool enables clinicians to make more informed decisions about patient care. However, the current body of literature describing perioperative whole blood analysis in Dorset sheep ( Ovis aries ) is small, so clinicians lack adequate information to guide their decision-making when evaluating test results...

Skeletal fragility and high fracture rates are common in CKD. A key component of bone loss in CKD with secondary hyperparathyroidism is high bone turnover and cortical bone deterioration through both cortical porosity and cortical thinning. We hypothesized that RANKL drives high bone resorption within cortical bone leading to the development of cortical porosity in CKD (study 1) and that systemic inhibition of RANKL would mitigate the skeletal phenotype of CKD (study 2). In study 1, we assessed the skeletal properties of male and female Dmp1-cre RANKLfl/fl (cKO) and control genotype ( Ranklfl/fl ; Con) mice after 10 wk of adenine-induced CKD (AD; 0...

Carotid corrected flow time (FTc) and tidal volume challenge pulse pressure variation (VtPPV) are useful clinical parameters for assessing volume status and fluid responsiveness in robot-assisted surgery, but their usefulness as goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) targets is unclear. We investigated whether FTc or VtPPV as targets are inferior to PPV in GDFT. This single-center, prospective, randomized, non-inferiority study included 133 women undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic gynecological surgery in the modified head-down lithotomy position...

OBJECTIVE: Urate-lowering therapy (ULT) is widely recognized as the primary treatment for hyperuricemia and gout. Xanthine oxidase inhibitors (XOI), particularly febuxostat, have gained popularity as a frontline approach. However, the divergent efficacy and safety between febuxostat and the traditional ULT drug, benzbromarone, remain poorly understood. This knowledge gap necessitates a comprehensive analysis and evidence update to guide drug selection for physicians and patients. METHOD: We conducted a systematic analysis by extracting relevant clinical studies from four medical literature databases...

Background: Human milk (HM) is usually fortified using standard fortification (STD) to improve nutrition of preterm infants. However, the protein component may still be insufficient. HM could be further fortified with additional protein to improve STD. Objective: The primary objective was to compare changes in body weight (g/day, g/kg/day), length, and head circumference (mm/day) between preterm neonates fed HM with STD and those fed HM with adjustable fortification (ADJ). Methods: This study was a prospective, single-blinded, randomized controlled study in preterm infants of gestational age <32 weeks and weighing ≤1,800 g, admitted to the neonatal unit of the Queen Sirikit National Institute of Child Health...

Tubular ferroptosis significantly contributes to renal inflammation and fibrosis, critical factors in chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study aims to investigate Kaempferitrin, a potent flavonoid glycoside from Bauhinia forficata leaves, renowned for its anti-inflammatory and antitumor effects, and to elucidate its potential mechanisms in mitigating inflammation and fibrosis induced by tubular ferroptosis.

The dietary rumen-degradable starch (RDS) to rumen-degradable protein (RDP) ratio, denoted as the RDS-to-RDP ratio (SPR), has been proven to enhance in vitro rumen fermentation. However, the effects of dietary SPR in vivo remain largely unexplored. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary SPR on lactation performance, nutrient digestibility, rumen fermentation patterns, blood indicators, and nitrogen (N) partitioning in mid-lactating Holstein cows. Seventy-two Holstein dairy cows were randomly assigned to three groups (24 head/group), balanced for (mean ± standard deviation) days in milk (116 ± 21...

Drug-induced kidney injury (DIKI) is a cause of drug development failure. Dogs represent a common non-rodent animal model in pre-clinical safety studies; however, biomarker assays for detecting nephrotoxicity in dogs are limited. To identify novel proteins and gain insight into the molecular mechanisms involved in DIKI, we developed an assay to evaluate proteomic changes associated with DIKI in male beagle dogs that received nephrotoxic doses of tobramycin for 10 consecutive days. Label-free quantitative discovery proteomics analysis on representative kidney cortex tissues collected on Day 11 showed that the tobramycin-induced kidney injury led to a significant differential regulation of 94 proteins mostly associated with mechanisms of nephrotoxicity such as oxidative stress and proteasome degradation...
