Objective: To evaluate the serum lipid levels of patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) and to investigate the relationship between serum lipid levels and PACG.Methods: In this cross-sectional, case–control study, a total of 320 PACG subjects and 242 age- and sex-matched control subjects were recruited. Serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), small dense LDL-C (SDLDL-C), triglyceride (TRIG), and cholesterol (CHOL) levels were measured using enzymatic colorimetry. Serum apolipoprotein A (APOA), apolipoprotein B (APOB), apolipoprotein E (APOE), and lipoprotein(a) (LPa) levels were measured by immunoturbidimetry.Results: The serum LDL-C, TRIG, HDL-C, APOE, LPa, CHOL, APOB, and APOA levels were significantly higher (p < 0.05) in the PACG group than in the control group. Multiple liner regression analyses revealed that there was a statistically correlation between HDL-C levels and mean deviation MD (B = 0.389, P = 0.002, 95% confidence interval [CI] = −1.249 to −0.624); LDL-C levels and MD (B = 0.190, P = 0.019, 95% CI = −5.632 to −1.306); and CHOL levels and MD (B = 0.364, P = 0.27, 95% CI = −7.727 to −1.839). Logistic regression analyses showed that high serum HDL-C (odds ratio [OR] = 11.01, 95% CI = 5.616–21.587), LDL-C (OR = 1.330, 95% CI = 1.079–1.640), SDLDL-C (OR = 1.007, 95% CI = 1.005–1.008), APOA (OR = 13.621, 95% CI = 7.251–25.591), APOB (OR = 2.243, 95% CI = 1.060–4.732), LPa (OR = 0.999, 95% CI = 0.998–1.00), and CHOL (OR = 1.131, 95% CI = 1.005–1.326) levels were significantly associated with PACG.Conclusions: High serum HDL-C, LDL-C, APOA, APOB, LPa, and CHOL levels were associated with PACG.

Abstract This study evaluated the effect of the temperament of 75 water buffaloes of three genetic groups (GG: Jafarabadi, Mediterranean, and Murrah; n = 25 for each GG) on serum lipid levels. The animals were classified for temperament through the temperament score (TSc) obtained by the mean of the sum of the scores of the entry time into the squeeze chute (1 to 5: 1=greater time spent for entry, and 5=less time spent for entry) and the exit velocity score (1 to 5: 1=lower speed, and 5=higher speed) calculated after the period of adaptation to the feedlot (d0). The animals were categorized into adequate (ADQ; TSc≤3) or excitable (EXC; TSc >3) temperaments. Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein on days -28, 0, and 84, and evaluated for serum levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) using colorimetric enzymatic analyses performed by commercial kits. Data were analyzed using MIXED procedure in SAS, considering the GG, temperament, day, and the resulting interactions as fixed effects. The term day was used for repeated measures in time. Correlations were estimated using the CORR procedure in SAS. There were no interactions for the variables evaluated (P ≥ 0.11). ADQ animals showed lower levels of total cholesterol (65.95 vs 70.96mg/dL for ADQ and EXC, respectively; SEM=2.33; P = 0.04) and LDL (26.74 vs 30.40mg/dL for ADQ and EXC, respectively; SEM=1.57; P = 0.02) than EXC animals. There was no effect of temperament for the triglycerides (P = 0.41), HDL (P = 0.47), and VLDL (P = 0.46). Positive correlations were verified between both the TSc and triglycerides (r=0.32; P < 0.01), and TSc and VLDL (r=0.33; P < 0.01). Tendency for a positive correlation was detected between TSc and LDL (r=0.20; P = 0.09). In conclusion, there are differences in serum lipid levels between water buffalo temperaments which deserves further investigation. Supported by FAPESP (#2018/25939-1; #2014/05473-7).

Purpose: To compare the choroidal vasculature characteristics by using the choroidal vascularity index (CVI) in eyes with malignant glaucoma (MG), fellow eyes with non-MG, and eyes with uncomplicated primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) after trabeculectomy by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).Methods: This case–control study included 53 patients diagnosed with MG after trabeculectomy. Eyes with MG (n = 53) and the fellow eyes with non-MG (n = 50) were included. Eyes with PACG without MG after trabeculectomy (n = 60) were also enrolled as controls. The choroidal parameters, including CVI and the subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT), were measured by using SD-OCT images.Results: Eyes with MG and the fellow eyes showed a significantly lower CVI than eyes with PACG controls (p < 0.001). After adjusting for age, sex, axial length (AL), and intraocular pressure (IOP), eyes with the greater CVI [odds ratio (OR), 0.44] were significantly related to MG. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the CVI was greater than that of the SFCT in the diagnosis of MG (0.911 vs. 0.840, p = 0.034).Conclusion: Eyes with MG showed a significantly lower macular CVI than eyes with PACG controls. A higher macular CVI was an associated factor of eyes with MG. The CVI serves as a more stable and sensitive indicator for MG than the SFCT in this group of patients with PACG.

Background Acitretin is a second-generation synthetic retinoid, and is widely used for treating the severe psoriasis vulgaris. However, it should be chosen with caution for its cardiovascular risk, and it is reported that acitretin may increase the serum lipids. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the Frizzled-related proteins 4 (SFRP4) rs1802073 polymorphism and the changes of serum lipids in Chinese psoriatic patients during the treatment with acitretin. Methods In our study, 100 psoriatic patients were recruited systematically treated with acitretin (30 mg/day) for at least eight weeks. Data of the patients’ demographic and clinical characteristics and the results of serum triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were collected pre- and post-treatment. Results A total of 84 psoriatic patients were enrolled and divided into three groups by SFRP4 rs1802073 genotypes. The patients who carried with TT genotype had maintained levels of TG and LDL-C after acitretin treatment, while patients with GG/GT genotypes had significantly elevated levels of serum TG and LDL-C compared to the TT genotype (ΔTG%: 27.53 ± 59.13 vs −1.47 ± 37.79, p = 0.026, ΔLDL-C%: 10.62 ± 26.57 vs −1.29 ± 17.07, p = 0.042). The association of rs1802073 with TG and LDL-C profiles remained significant after adjusting for age, gender, and body mass index. Although without significance, the pre-post change in serum level of TC across rs1802073 GG/GT genotypes demonstrated a trend similar to TG and LDL, and the serum level of HDL-C demonstrated a trend opposite to TG, TC and LDL. Conclusions Our results demonstrated that SFRP4 rs1802073 polymorphism was found to be associated with elevated serum lipid levels after acitretin treatment, and it may serve as a genetic marker of safe and precise treatment for individual psoriatic patients.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the effects of fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) on serum lipid levels and to determine the mechanisms underlying these effects and the potential role of inflammation. Methods Male C57BL/6 mice received a normal diet, a high-fat/high-sugar (HFS) diet, or an HFS diet supplemented with 10% FOS for 10 weeks. In vivo intestinal and serum short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) levels were measured by gas chromatography. In vivo serum levels of alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), and malonaldehyde (MDA) were also measured. Lipid accumulation was visualized. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation was evaluated and apoptosis was quantified. Results FOS reversed in vivo HFS-induced lipid accumulation in the liver. An HFS diet increased ALT, AST, TC, TG, and LDL serum levels, decreased HDL serum levels, and increased IL-6, TNF-α, 8-OHdG, and MDA levels. These changes were reduced by FOS. FOS also increased intestinal and serum levels of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs). In vitro, SCFAs ameliorated palmitic acid-induced ROS production and apoptosis of HepG2 cells. Conclusion FOS supplementation lowers serum lipid levels and ameliorates HFS-induced inflammation by upregulating SCFAs.

Introduction: Spontaneous retinal venous pulsation (SRVP) is a rhythmic variation in the calibre of one or more retinal veins. The incidence of SRVP was reduced in glaucoma patients. It was also reduced in people with raised intracranial pressure compared to a healthy population. Purpose: The main objective was to report the frequency and rate of SRVP in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) patients and to associate these with the severity of glaucoma in Malay patients. Design of study: A comparative cross-sectional study. Materials and methods: A comparative cross-sectional study involving primary glaucoma patients attending the eye clinic at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM), Kelantan, Malaysia, was performed between December 2015 and June 2017. The main outcomes measured were the presence and rate of SRVP using a confocalscanning laser ophthalmoscope (Spectralis High-Resolution Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography, Heidelberg Engineering GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany). In the presence of SRVP, the rate of SRVP in one minute was counted manually based on the real-time fundus movie recorded using the confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope. Results: Thirty-eight POAG, 14 PACG, and 51 control group subjects were included. There was a significantly lower incidence of SRVP in primary glaucoma patients than in the control group (p = 0.003). The presence of SRVP was significantly lower in POAG than PACG (p = 0.04). There was no significant difference in the rate ofSRVP between primary glaucoma patients and the control group (p = 0.873) or between the POAG group and PACG group (p = 0.511). There was no association of incidence (p = 0.574) and rate (p = 0.167) of SRVP according to the severity of glaucoma. Systolic blood pressure (95% CI: 0.95–1.00, p = 0.038) and retinal nervefibre layer thickness (95% CI: 1.01–1.09, p = 0.008) showed a significant association with the presence of SRVP. Conclusions: SRVP is a potential predictive factor for detection of primary glaucoma. The role of SRVP in the severity of glaucoma is still unclear. The role of SRVP in PACG patients warrants further studies in the future.

Introduction: Dengue Virus (DENV) infection now remains as the most rapidly spreading viral disease worldwide. Lower lipid level occurs in critically ill patients with DENV infection and is postulated as an independent predictor of the clinical outcome. Aim: To find the correlation between serum lipid levels and severity in children admitted with various grades of Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and secondarily to correlate serum lipid levels with factors like platelet count and duration of hospital stay. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective descriptive study done in the Paediatric ward from October 2019 to December 2019. Febrile Children with a platelet count of less than 1 lakh/cu.mm and positive for DENV IgM antibodies by Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (ELISA) formed the study group. Demographic details, number of days of fever on admission, duration of stay in hospital and severity grading of DENV infection as per the National guidelines were collected. These children were evaluated with Complete Blood Counts (CBC), fasting lipid profile, X-ray chest and ultrasound abdomen. Mean and standard deviation was used for categorical variables. Chi-square test was used to assess the strength of association between lipids and severity of DENV infections. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to assess R value between length of stay and serum lipid levels. Results: The Total Cholesterol, Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL), Triglyceride and Very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) showed a simple linear decline as the severity grade advanced from grade I to grade IV. However, statistical significance was found only for total cholesterol and LDL with p-values of 0.046 and 0.041 respectively. The distribution of High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) across the grades of severity did not follow any pattern and was randomly distributed. On analysis of Pearson correlation between number of days of hospital stay and lipid profile, statistical significance was observed for LDL alone (p=0.023). Conclusion: The serum levels of total cholesterol and LDL were significantly reduced in severe grades of DHF. Serum levels of total cholesterol and LDL can be used as an economical surrogate marker to predict the severity of DHF at the time of admission.
