AimsThis study aimed to explore the effect of infertility on self–esteem and depression, and to identify the sociodemographic and infertility characteristics associated with self-esteem and depression among infertile women in Ekiti State, Nigeria.MethodSelf-esteem and depression were assessed in 100 infertile women and 100 women seeking family planning (controls) using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), respectively. PHQ-9 score ≥10 was defined as major depressive disorder (MDD). Continuous variables were presented as mean ± standard deviation and categorical variables as frequency (percentage). Cases and controls were compared using Student's t test. χ2 or Fisher's exact (when cell size <5) tests were performed to compare proportions. Simple and multiple linear regression analyses were used to examine the association between the sociodemographic, infertility characteristics and RSES or PHQ-9 scores among infertile womenResultInfertile women had significantly lower RSES score (19.4 ± 4.5 vs. 20.7 ± 4.4, p = 0.038) and higher PHQ-9 score (5.1 ± 4.1 vs 3.8 ± 3.5, p = 0.023) compared to controls. Seventeen infertile women (17%) and 8 women in the control group (8%) had MDD (PHQ-9 score ≥10) and were referred for further evaluation. Among infertile women, marital status, being remarried, duration of infertility, and RSES score were associated with PHQ-9 score on simple linear regression. Similar association was not seen in the controls. On multiple linear regression analysis, RSES score had a negative association with PHQ-9 score (β = -0.32, p < 0.001) among infertile women. Older age [OR (95% CI):1.13 (1.01–1.25); p = 0.030], ≤6 years formal education [OR (95% CI): 4.76 (1.13–20.00); p = 0.033], being remarried [OR (95% CI): 10.87 (1.86–63.64); p = 0.008], longer duration of infertility [OR (95% CI): 1.11 (1.01–1.22); p = 0.040] and RSES score [OR (95% CI): 0.79 (0.67–0.92); p = 0.003] were significantly associated with MDD. On multiple logistic regression analysis, only the association between RSES score and MDD remained statistically significant (p = 0.004)ConclusionInfertile women have lower self-esteem and higher depression scores in comparison to women seeking family planning. Mental health screening and management should be an integral part of care administered to infertile women

Background/Aims: Although it is widely acknowledged that atherosclerosis is mainly a chronic inflammatory process, in which both miR-29b and interleukin-6 (IL-6) play multifaceted roles, the association between miR-29b and IL-6 remains unknown. The aim of the present study was to explore the relationship between miR-29b and IL-6 and to test whether circulating levels of miR-29b and IL-6 could predict atherosclerosis. Methods: A total of 170 participants were divided into two groups according to carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT): study group (CIMT ≥ 0.9mm) and control group (CIMT < 0.9mm). Levels of circulating miR-29b and IL-6 were measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), respectively. The association of miR-29b and IL-6 levels with CIMT was assessed using Spearman correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis. Results: The study group showed higher miR-29b levels (31.61 ± 3.05 vs. 27.91 ± 1.71 Ct, p < 0.001) and IL-6 levels (3.40 ± 0.67 vs. 2.99 ± 0.37 pg/ml, p < 0.001), compared with the control group. CIMT was positively correlated with miR-29b (r = 0.587, p < 0.001) and IL-6 (r = 0.410, p < 0.001), and miR-29b levels were also correlated with IL-6 (r = 0.242, p = 0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis also showed that CIMT was positively correlated with miR-29b and IL-6. After adjustment for age, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol and C-reactive protein, CIMT was still closely correlated with miR-29b and IL-6. The combination of miR-29b and IL-6 (AUC = 0.901, p < 0.001) offered a better predictive index for atherosclerosis than either miR-29b (AUC = 0.867, p < 0.001) or IL-6 (AUC = 0.747, p < 0.001) alone. Conclusion: Circulating levels of miR-29b and IL-6 may be independently correlated with subclinical atherosclerosis, and may serve as novel biomarkers for the identification of atherosclerosis.

Wnt Proteins

Background: Carboxylesterase Notum is a negative regulator of Wnt signaling. Notum carboxylesterase is a carboxylic ester hydrolase enzyme that functions as a negative feedback regulator of Wnt proteins by depalmitoylation reaction. It is of great importance to understand the pathway of Wnt regulation because, conversely, misregulation of Wnt signaling is a telltale sign of cancer and other degenerative diseases. The Wnt inhibition is important in the control of colorectal cancer. Objective: In the present study, we carried out a QSAR analysis of a series of reported compounds with carboxylesterase Notum inhibitory activity using multiple regression analysis. A series of 83 compound datasets of pyrrole derivatives with carboxy Notum inhibitory values were taken from the reported literature. Methods: The study was performed by conducting multiple linear regression analysis followed by validation of the model. The multiple linear regression (MLR) models with the highest coefficients of correlation (R2) and explained variance in leave-one-out (Q2 LOO) prediction and leave-many-out (Q2 LMO) were selected for the whole dataset. The developed models were subjected to internal and external validation. The reliability of the predicted model was checked by plotting the Williams plot. The docking methodology was performed using Autodock 4 for the designed compounds to study the interaction between the ligand and the receptor. Results: The best model generated exhibited an r2 value of 0.7413, Q2LOO =0.6379, Q2LMO =0.6368. Novel compounds of phenyl pyrrolidine were designed based on generated QSAR equations. The carboxylesterase Notum inhibitory activity was predicted using the QSAR equations. The docking studies were carried out for designed compounds using Autodock against Carboxylesterase Notum esterase. Conclusion: From the results, the designed compounds were found to inhibit Notum Carboxylase. Thus, the study led to the development of a novel lead compound for Carboxylesterase Notum.

OBJECTIVEBlood loss during surgery for thoracolumbar scoliosis often requires blood product transfusion. Rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) has enabled the more targeted treatment of coagulopathy, but its use in deformity surgery has received limited study. The authors investigated whether the use of ROTEM reduces transfusion requirements in this case-control study of thoracolumbar deformity surgery.METHODSData were prospectively collected on all patients who received ROTEM-guided blood product management during long-segment (≥ 7 levels) posterior thoracolumbar fusion procedures at a single institution from April 2015 to February 2016. Patients were matched with a group of historical controls who did not receive ROTEM-guided therapy according to age, fusion segments, number of osteotomies, and number of interbody fusion levels. Demographic, intraoperative, and postoperative transfusion requirements were collected on all patients. Univariate analysis of ROTEM status and multiple linear regression analysis of the factors associated with total in-hospital transfusion volume were performed, with p < 0.05 considered to indicate statistical significance.RESULTSFifteen patients who received ROTEM-guided therapy were identified and matched with 15 non-ROTEM controls. The mean number of fusion levels was 11 among all patients, with no significant differences between groups in terms of fusion levels, osteotomy levels, interbody fusion levels, or other demographic factors. Patients in the non-ROTEM group required significantly more total blood products during their hospitalization than patients in the ROTEM group (8.5 ± 4.2 units vs 3.71 ± 2.8 units; p = 0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the use of ROTEM (p = 0.016) and a lower number of fused levels (p = 0.022) were associated with lower in-hospital transfusion volumes.CONCLUSIONSROTEM use during thoracolumbar deformity correction is associated with lower transfusion requirements. Further investigation will better define the role of ROTEM in transfusion during deformity surgery.
