Background: Family history is a important risk factor for hypertension (HT), however impacts of parental early onset versus late onset on offspring’s HT has not been explored yet in Asian countries. Methods and Results: We analyzed 1,524 participants from two Korean prospective cohorts in cross-sectional design. Early onset was defined as onset before age of 55 and participants were categorized according to parental hypertension(PH) status; “No PH”, “late onset PH” and “early onset PH”. Logistic regression was conducted to compare risks of HT on parental, maternal and paternal HT status. Participants’ HT onset age was compared using least-square means. Overall prevalence of HT was 25.7% (392/1,524) and that of “early onset PH” group was 33.7% (98/291). This group conferred an OR of 3.83 (95% CI, 2.67-5.54) for HT. The onset age of HT was earliest in this group (48.2 years; 95% CI, 47.3-49.2). Conclusions: Early onset HT in parents was associated with high HT prevalence in offspring and also with their onset age. Therefore, for applying early prevention and intervention to the high risk population, it would be beneficial to identify whether individuals had early onset PH.

Early Onset Preeclampsia (EO-PE) is preeclampsia that develops before 34 weeks 'gestation, caused by intrinsic factors, while Late Onset Preeclampsia (LO-PE) is preeclampsia that develops after 34 weeks' gestation due to extrinsic and maternal factors. There is an increased production of antiangiogenic factors (sFlt-1, s-Eng and PIGF) contribute to pathophysiology of preeclampsia.This study aims to measure the difference of sFlt-1, sEng, PIGF levels between EO-PE and LO-PE. This was an observational study with cross sectional design conducted at Dr. M. Djamil, TK Hospital. III dr. Reksodiwiryo and Biomedical Laboratory FK Unand Padang from August 2017 to August 2018. The sample of this study were 26 severe preeclampsia women : 13 (EO-PE)  and 13 (LO-PE), selected using consecutive sampling. Levels of sFlt-1, sEng, PIGF were examined using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Statistical analysis was performed using unpaired t test and Mann-Whitney Test. Results shown that serum levels of sFlt-1 and sEng in (EO-PE)  were 9.51 ± 0.71 ng / L, 1.44 ± 0.06 ng / mL, 5.79 ± 0.42 ng / mL while in PEAL it was 8, 89 ± 0.78 ng / mL, 1.35 ± 0.14 ng / mL, 6.72 ± 0.76. There were a significant difference with a value of p <0.05. The conclusion of this study is that the levels of sFlt-1 and sEng are higher in (EO-PE)  than(LO-PE)and PIGF levels was lower in (EO-PE) compared to (LO-PE)

Background:Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocyte infiltration in salivary and lacrimal glands. pSS affects primarily middle-aged and elderly patients, although younger age groups may also be involved. However, differences of etiology and pathogenesis between early-onset pSS (EOpSS) and late-onset pSS (LOpSS) are unknown. Recently, standardized outcome tools for measuring disease-specific activity and patients’ reported symptoms have been formulated by the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) SS study group: the EULAR SS Disease Activity Index (ESSDAI) for systemic features of pSS [1]. Also, as the new imaging techniques, salivary gland ultrasonography (SGUS) proved valuable for assessing salivary gland involvement in SS and seemed to exhibit good diagnostic properties. In addition, previous studies have demonstrated usefulness of SGUS for the prognostic stratification of patients with pSS [2], [3], [4].Objectives:The aim of this study was to examine the differences of etiology and pathogenesis between EOpSS and LOpSS using ESSDAI and SGUS.Methods:Fifty-six pSS patients who fulfilled the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) / European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) classification criteria for SS were studied. Based on the disease onset age, all pSS patients were divided into two groups as those with the onset age of 40 years old or younger (EOpSS: n=26) and those with the onset age of older than 65 years old (LOpSS: n=30). The clinical findings were evaluated ESSDAI and OMERACT SGUS score at the first visit to our hospital. The ESSDAI (0–123) proposes the evaluation of 12 domains or organ systems (constitutional, lymphadenopathy, glandular, articular, cutaneous, pulmonary, renal, peripheral nervous system, central nervous system, muscular, hematological and biology). All patients were examined SGUS by a single investigator who was blinded to device (TUS-A300; Canon Medical Systems, Tokyo, Japan) with a linear transducer (7.5-10MHz). The OMERACT SGUS score was used for graded changes in the parenchymal homogeneity of salivary glands: grade 0, normal-appearing salivary gland parenchyma; grade 1, minimal change: mild inhomogeneity without hypo/anechoic areas; grade 2, moderate change: moderate inhomogeneity with focal hypo/anechoic areas; grade 3, severe change: diffuse inhomogeneity with hypo/anechoic areas occupying the entire gland surface [5].Results:The proportions of positive sera of RF, anti-SS-A and anti-SS-B antibodies were not different in the two groups, but the disease activities were higher in the EOpSS than in the LOpSS patients by measuring ESSDAI (7.30 vs 4.23, p=0.008), especially in constitutional domain (1.50 vs 0.60, p=0.03), articular domain (1.54 vs 0.40, p=0.0002) and biological domain (1.35 vs 0.90, p=0.04). No difference in salivary secretion was found between two groups (EOpSS: 8.02 vs LOpSS: 6.31 mL/10min.), but the OMERACT SGUS score was higher in LOpSS than in EOpSS patients (2.00 vs 2.70, p=0.0002).Conclusion:Although serological findings were not different, EOpSS patients had higher disease activity but less severe salivary gland degeneration than that in LOpSS patients, suggesting the pathogenesis of these two groups was different.References:[1]Seror R, et al.

Resilience is the vital feature of supply chains that confers the ability to withstand the adverse effects of disruptive events. Most of the previous studies have been conceptual, theoretical, normative, or at best qualitative in approach, concentrating on identifying the elements of resilience. In spite of the proliferation of studies, an empirically validated quantitative study on justifying the measurement dimensions of supply chain resilience is rare, thus the need for further quantitative empirical studies. The context of the present study is the manufacturing supply chain of halal pharmaceuticals in Malaysia. A quantitative cross-sectional design was applied by means of self-administered structured questionnaire survey, using the Supply Chain Resilience Assessment and Management instrument (SCRAM© 2.0). The survey yielded usable responses from 106 manufacturing companies engaged in the production of halal pharmaceuticals in Malaysia. Descriptive statistics as well as partial least square-based structural equation modelling was used to analyze the survey data. This was facilitated by IBM SPSS statistics software (version 21.0), and Smart PLS 3.2.4 respectively. The results suggest that the psychometric properties of the supply chain resilience dimensions (vulnerabilities and capabilities) in the context of the present study are reliable and valid.

ObjectiveTo describe the characteristics of patients with very-late-onset myasthenia gravis (MG).MethodsThis observational cross-sectional multicenter study was based on information in the neurologist-driven Spanish Registry of Neuromuscular Diseases (NMD-ES). All patients were >18 years of age at onset of MG and onset occurred between 2000 and 2016 in all cases. Patients were classified into 3 age subgroups: early-onset MG (age at onset <50 years), late-onset MG (onset ≥50 and <65 years), and very-late-onset MG (onset ≥65 years). Demographic, immunologic, clinical, and therapeutic data were reviewed.ResultsA total of 939 patients from 15 hospitals were included: 288 (30.7%) had early-onset MG, 227 (24.2%) late-onset MG, and 424 (45.2%) very-late-onset MG. The mean follow-up was 9.1 years (SD 4.3). Patients with late onset and very late onset were more frequently men (p < 0.0001). Compared to the early-onset and late-onset groups, in the very-late-onset group, the presence of anti–acetylcholine receptor (anti-AChR) antibodies (p < 0.0001) was higher and fewer patients had thymoma (p < 0.0001). Late-onset MG and very-late-onset MG groups more frequently had ocular MG, both at onset (<0.0001) and at maximal worsening (p = 0.001). Although the very-late-onset group presented more life-threatening events (Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America IVB and V) at onset (p = 0.002), they required fewer drugs (p < 0.0001) and were less frequently drug-refractory (p < 0.0001).ConclusionsPatients with MG are primarily ≥65 years of age with anti-AChR antibodies and no thymoma. Although patients with very-late-onset MG may present life-threatening events at onset, they achieve a good outcome with fewer immunosuppressants when diagnosed and treated properly.

AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan kadar IFN-γ dan IL-10 pada serum maternal antara early-onset preeclampsia dengan late-onset preeclampsia. Penelitian ini dilakukan di RSUD dr.Mohammad Suwandhie Surabaya sejak Juni – Agustus 2015, menggunakan rancangan cross-sectional. Didapatkan 13 sampel early-onset preeclampsia, 13 sampel late-onset preeclampsia, 13 sampel hamil normal <34 minggu dan 13 sampel hamil normal ≥34 minggu, total 52 sampel serum yang kemudian dilakukan pemeriksaan IFN-γ dan IL-10 serum dengan ELISA. Berdasarkan hasil analisis statistik, didapatkan nilai median kadar IFN-γ pada early-onset preeclampsia 0 pg/ml (0-149,1 pg/ml), pada late-onset preeclampsia 0 pg/ml, pada kelompok kontrol early 0 pg/ml (0-56,6 pg/ml), dan pada kelompok kontrol late 0 pg/ml (0-92,7 pg/ml). Hal ini kemungkinan terjadi karena kadar IFN-γ pada sampel lebih rendah dari ambang batas terendah deteksi kit ELISA IFN-γ human (R&D system inc). Sementara itu, nilai median kadar IL-10 pada early-onset preeclampsia adalah 91 pg/ml (6,2-163,90 pg/ml), pada late-onset preeclampsia 12,9 pg/ml (3,5 – 110,70 pg/ml), pada kontrol early 8,9 pg/ml (0-36,5 pg/ml) dan pada kontrol late 4,8 pg/ml (0-38,8 pg/ml) Secara statistik, tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna kadar IFN-γ antara early-onset preeclampsia dengan late-onset preeclampsia, begitu pula dengan kelompok kontrol (harga p = 0,073). Sedangkan, menurut statistik didapatkan perbedaan bermakna kadar IL-10 antara early-onset preeclampsia dengan late-onset preeclampsia, begitu pula dengan kelompok kontrol (harga p <0,0001). Kesimpulan, tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna kadar IFN-γ baik pada kelompok early-onset preeclampsia maupun late-onset preeclampsia, sedangkan kadar IL-10 pada early-onset preeclampsia lebih tinggi dari pada late-onset preeclampsia.  Kata kunci: early-onset preeclampsia, late-onset preeclampsia, preeklampsia, IFN-γ, IL-10

Background: Meniere disease (MD) is an inner ear disorder associated with comorbidities such as autoimmune diseases or migraine. This study describes clinical and cytokine profile in MD according to the age of onset of the condition. Methods: A cross-sectional study including 83 MD patients: 44 with early onset MD (EOMD, &lt;35 years old), and 39 with late onset MD (LOMD, &gt; 50 years old), 64 patients with migraine and 55 controls was carried out. Clinical variables and cytokines levels of CCL3, CCL4, CCL18, CCL22, CXCL1 and IL-1&beta; were compared among the different groups. Results: CCL18 levels were higher in patients with migraine or MD than in controls. Elevated levels of IL-1&beta; were observed in 11.4% EOMD and in 10.3% LOMD patients and these levels were not dependent on the age of individuals. EOMD had a longer duration of the disease (p=0.004) and a higher prevalence of migraine than LOMD (p=0.045). Conclusions: Patients with EOMD have a higher prevalence of migraine than LOMD, but migraine is not associated with any cytokine profile in patients with MD. The levels of CCL18, CCL3 and CXCL4 were different between patients with MD or migraine and controls.
