Objective: We aimed to evaluate serum lipid levels in periodontitis patients and compared with healthy subjects.Methods: A case-control study was conducted among 30 participants in the age group of 35-60 y, including 15 subjects in case group with community periodontal index (CPI) score of ≥2 and 15 subjects in the control group with a CPI score of ≤ 1 based on their periodontal status. Fasting blood samples were taken for measurement of lipid profiles, including total cholesterol, triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) using an enzymatic method. Odds ratio and independent t-test at *p=0.05 significance level were calculated.Results: Periodontitis patients were 4.1 times at risk to have high triglyceride, 1.3 times at risk to have high total cholesterol and 0.3times at risk to have higher HDL. Independent t-test showed higher total cholesterol/HDL ratio (*p=0.033) and lowered HDL levels (*p=0.027) in periodontitis patients.Conclusion: Periodontitis group has significantly higher total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein ratio and lower high-density lipoprotein levels when compared to the healthy group.

Background. Cherry angioma is the most common type of acquired cutaneous vascular proliferation which would increase with aging due to some angiogenic factors but the exact pathogenesis is unknown. Usually angiogenic factors are synthesized in human body to compensate occlusive effects of atherogenic agents such as serum lipids. Our hypothesis was that increased levels of these angiogenic factors could be a trigger for development of cherry angioma. This study has been designed to compare frequency of dyslipidemia in subjects with and without cutaneous cherry angioma. Methods. In this case-control study, 122 cases with cherry angioma and 122 control subjects without cherry angioma were enrolled. Demographic characteristics, number of the cherry angioma lesions, and serum lipid profile were collected for all subjects. The data was analyzed using SPSS 18 software. Results. Mean levels of the total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein, and high-density lipoprotein were higher in patients with cherry angioma compared to control subjects in which differences were significant for total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, and triglyceride (P<0.05) but not for high-density lipoprotein level. Conclusion. Serum lipids may have a role in producing angiogenic factors and development of cherry angioma and it seems logical to evaluate lipid profile in these cases.

Background: Metabolic syndrome is a constellation of several clinical and laboratory cardiovascular risk factors that have been linked with numerous medical and dermatologic conditions. Recent evidence suggests a strong association between skin tags and insulin resistance and obesity, yet there is a paucity of data on relation of skin tags with metabolic syndrome as a whole. Aim of the study was to evaluate the strength of association between skin tags and metabolic syndrome.Methods: 70 patients with skin tags and an equal number of age and gender matched controls were enrolled in a hospital-based case control study. Anthropometric measures, blood pressure, fasting glucose, high density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides were measured. Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed by the presence of 3 or more of the south Asian modified national cholesterol education program’s adult panel III criteria. Statistical analysis was performed using chi square test, and odds ratio was calculated. P≤0.05 were considered significant.Results: Metabolic syndrome was significantly more common in patients with skin tags than in controls (70% vs. 26%, p<0.001). Triglycerides and waist circumference values were significantly increased in cases as compared to controls (p<0.05).  There was no statistically significant difference in the high-density lipoprotein levels, fasting blood glucose levels and presence of hypertension among cases and controls.Conclusion: Skin tags when present in multiple could be an early warning sign for Metabolic syndrome. They serve a cutaneous marker to initiate early detection and intervention of at-risk patients for cardiovascular disorders.

Disease Biomarkers

Background: Studies have demonstrated beneficial effects of exercise on cardiovascular disease biomarkers for healthy individuals; however, a comprehensive review regarding the effect of exercise on cardiovascular disease biomarkers in at-risk populations is lacking. Methods: A literature search was performed to identify studies meeting the following criteria: randomized controlled study, participants with pathology/activity limitations, biomarker outcome (total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, C-reactive protein, insulin, triglycerides, or glucose), and exercise intervention. Means and standard deviations from each biomarker were used to calculate standardized Cohen’s d effect sizes with 95% confidence intervals. Results: In total, 37 articles were included. The majority (44/57; 77%) of data points demonstrated moderate to strong effects for the reduction in total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein, and elevation in high-density lipoprotein following exercise. The majority of data points demonstrated strong effects for reductions in blood glucose (24/30; 80%) and insulin (23/24; 96%) levels following exercise intervention. Conclusion: Evidence is heterogeneous regarding the influence of exercise on cardiovascular disease biomarkers in at-risk patients, which does not allow a definitive conclusion. Favorable effects include reductions in triglycerides, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, glucose, and insulin, and elevation in high-density lipoprotein following exercise intervention. The strongest evidence indicates that exercise is favorable for the reduction in glucose and cholesterol levels among obese patients, and reduction of insulin regardless of population.

Abstract: Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measurement of nutritional status by calculating the ratio of height and weight. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is more common in a person with a BMI of more than normal. In patients with T2DM, there is lipid metabolism disorder, dyslipidaemia. Changes in lipid profiles consist of increased levels of total cholesterol, Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL), and triglycerides, and decreased levels of High Density Lipoprotein (HDL). This study aimed to obtain the correlation between body mass index and lipid profile in T2DM patients in Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado. This was a descriptive analytical study using patients’ medical record in Endocrine Clinic Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado from September to November 2015. The Pearson correlation test showed correlations between BMI and total cholesterol levels with r=0.037and p=0.763; between BMI and HDL levels with r=-0.249 and p=0.039; between BMI and LDL levels with r=0.091 and p=0,455; and between BMI and triglyceride levels with r=0.179 and p=0.142. Conclusion: Among T2DM patients, there were no significant correlations between body mass index and total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, as wello as triglyceride levels. However, there was a significant correlation between body mass index and HDL levels. Keywords: body mass index, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, T2DM Abstrak: Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) merupakan salah satu pengukuran status gizi dengan menghitung perbandingan tinggi badan dan berat badan.

Small Dense Low Density Lipoprotein (sdLDL) merupakan fraksi terkecil dari partikel Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) yang memilikidiameter ≤25,5 nm. Partikel sdLDL merupakan lipoprotein sangat aterogenik bahkan telah dilaporkan meningkatkan kebahayaanPenyakit Jantung Koroner (PJK) hingga tiga kali lipat. Pengukuran sdLDL dilakukan dengan alat dan teknik yang rumit sehinggakurang cocok diterapkan dalam praktek klinis sehari-hari. Tahun 2011, Srisawasdi dkk mengembangkan teknik pengukuran perkiraansdLDL-cholesterol (sdLDL-C) menggunakan persamaan dengan menghitung profil lipid rutin. Dilaporkan bahwa peningkatan kepekatantrigliserida (TG) menurunkan kenasaban perkiraan sdLDL-C Srisawasdi. Penurunan nilai kenasaban dapat mempengaruhi ketepatanyang mengakibatkan penurunan mutu pemeriksaan laboratorium. Diambil 88 sampel yang dilakukan pengukuran Total Cholesterol(TC), TG, high density lipoprotein-cholesetrol (HDL-C) dan direk low density lipoprotein-cholesetrol (dLDL-C) di RSUD Dr. Soetomo,sdLDL-C metode homogeneous enzymatic assay dilakukan di Laboratorium Parahita Dharmawangsa. Hasil analisis menunjukkan, tidakada perbedaan hasil periksaan sdLDL-C formula Srisawasdi dkk dengan metode homogeneous enzymatic assay (P=0,000). Penurunannilai kenasaban ditemukan di kelompok kepekatan TG <100 mg/dL sampai dengan kelompok kepekatan TG 200-299 mg/dL. Perbedaannilai kenasaban di setiap kelompok TG tidak mempengaruhi ketepatan pemeriksaan sdLDL-C formula Srisawasdi (P=0,720) hinggakepekatan TG <400 mg/dL, dengan nilai bias pada seluruh sampel yaitu 34,15%. Keterbatasan sdLDL-C formula Srisawasdi dkk hanyadapat digunakan di kepekatan TG kurang dari 200 mg/dL dengan pemantapan mutu intralaboratorium yang terkendali baik. Saranpenelitian, perlu diteliti lebih lanjut untuk menentukan nilai normal sdLDL-C formula Srisawasdi.

1. Increased blood or plasma viscosity has been observed in almost all conditions associated with accelerated atherosclerosis. Cognizant of the enlarging body of evidence implicating increased viscosity in atherogenesis, we hypothesize that the effects of low-density lipoprotein and high-density lipoprotein on blood viscosity correlate with their association with risk of atherosclerosis. 2. Blood viscometry was performed on samples from 28 healthy, non-fasting adult volunteers using a capillary viscometer. Data were correlated with haematocrit, fibrinogen, serum viscosity, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, triglycerides and calculated low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol. 3. Low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol was more strongly correlated with blood viscosity than was total cholesterol (r = 0.4149, P = 0.0281, compared with r = 0.2790, P = 0.1505). High-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels were inversely associated with blood viscosity (r = −0.4018, P = 0.0341). 4. To confirm these effects, viscometry was performed on erythrocytes, suspended in saline, which had been incubated in plasma of various low-density lipoprotein/high-density lipoprotein ratios. Viscosity correlated directly with low-density lipoprotein/high-density lipoprotein ratio (n = 23, r = 0.8561, P < 0.01). 5. Low-density lipoprotein receptor occupancy data suggests that these effects on viscosity are mediated by erythrocyte aggregation. 6. These results demonstrate that the effects of low-density lipoprotein and high-density lipoprotein on blood viscosity in healthy subjects correlate with their association with risk of atherosclerosis. These effects on viscosity may play a role in atherogenesis by modulating the dwell or residence time of atherogenic particles in the vicinity of the endothelium.

AbstractObjectivesTo evaluate the first trimester maternal biomarkers for early pregnancy prediction of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).MethodsThe study was a case-control study of healthy women with singleton pregnancies at the first trimester carried out at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Unit, Clinica Davila, Santiago, Chile. After obtaining informed consent, peripheral blood samples of pregnant women under 14 weeks of gestation were collected. At 24–28 weeks of pregnancy, women were classified as GDM (n=16) or controls (n=80) based on the results of a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). In all women, we measured concentrations of fasting blood glucose, insulin, glycated hemoglobin, uric acid, cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), triglycerides, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), alkaline phosphatase (AP), sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), adiponectin, tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), leptin and placental growth factor (PGF).ResultsThe GDM group displayed an increased median concentration of cholesterol (P=0.04), triglycerides (P=0.003), insulin (P=0.003), t-PA (P=0.0088) and homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) (P=0.003) and an increased mean concentration of LDL (P=0.009) when compared to the control group. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for significant variables achieved an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.870, a sensitivity of 81.4% and a specificity of 80.0%. The OGTT was positive for GDM according to the IADPSG (International Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group) criteria.ConclusionWomen who subsequently developed GDM showed higher levels of blood-borne biomarkers during the first trimester, compared to women who did not develop GDM. These data warrant validation in a larger cohort.
