Objective: The purpose of this study was to establish whether Triglycerides (TGs) are related to Blood Pressure (BP) variability and whether controlling TG levels leads to better BP variability management and prevents Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). Methods: In this study, we enrolled 106 hypertensive patients and 80 non-hypertensive patients. Pearson correlation and partial correlation analyses were used to define the relationships between TG levels and BP variability in all subjects. Patients with hypertension were divided into two subgroups according to TG level: Group A (TG<1.7 mmol/L) and Group B (TG>=1.7 mmol/L). The heterogeneity between the two subgroups was compared using t tests and covariance analysis. Results: TG levels and BP variability were significantly different between the hypertensive and non-hypertensive patients. Two-tailed Pearson correlation tests showed that TG levels are positively associated with many BP variability measures in all subjects. After reducing other confounding factors, the partial correlation analysis revealed that TG levels are still related to the Standard Deviation (SD), Coefficient of Variation (CV) of nighttime systolic blood pressure and CV of nighttime diastolic blood pressure, respectively (each p<0.05). In the subgroups, group A had a lower SD of nighttime Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP_night_SD; 11.39±3.80 and 13.39±4.16, p=0.011), CV of nighttime systolic blood pressure (SBP_night_CV; 0.09±0.03 and 0.11±0.03, p=0.014) and average real variability of nighttime systolic blood pressure (SBP_night_ARV; 10.99±3.98 and 12.6±3.95, p=0.024) compared with group B, even after adjusting for age and other lipid indicators. Conclusion: TG levels are significantly associated with BP variability and hypertriglyceridemia, which affects blood pressure variability before causing target organ damage.

AbstractThere is no validated clinical biomarker for disease severity or treatment response for nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD). We investigated the correlation between elevated serum carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 levels and NTM-PD disease activity, defined using an imaging severity score based on chest computed tomography (CT). We retrospectively examined 79 patients with NTM-PD who underwent serum CA19-9 level assessments and chest CT less than 1 month apart. NTM-PD severity was rated using a CT-based scoring system. The correlation between the CT score and serum CA19-9 levels was evaluated. Chest CT revealed nodular bronchiectasis without cavitation in most patients (78.5%). Serum CA19-9 levels were elevated in 19 (24%) patients. Serum CA19-9 levels were positively correlated with the total CT score and bronchiectasis, bronchiolitis, cavity, and consolidation subscores. Partial correlation analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between serum CA19-9 levels and CT scores for total score and bronchiectasis, bronchiolitis, cavitation, and consolidation subscores after controlling for age, sex, and BMI. Serum CA19-9 levels were positively correlated with the CT severity score for NTM-PD. Serum CA19-9 may be useful in evaluating disease activity or therapeutic response in patients with NTM-PD.

The Relationship

Capsaicinoid content, among other factors, affects the perception of spiciness of commercial kimchi. Here, we investigated whether the physicochemical properties of kimchi affect the spicy taste of capsaicinoids perceived by the tasting. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to evaluate the capsaicinoid content (mg/kg) of thirteen types of commercial kimchi. The physicochemical properties such as pH, titratable acidity, salinity, free sugar content, and free amino acid content were evaluated, and the spicy strength grade was determined by selected panel to analyze the correlation between these properties. Panels were trained for 48 h prior to actual evaluation by panel leaders trained for over 1000 h according to the SpectrumTM method. Partial correlation analysis was performed to examine other candidate parameters that interfere with the sensory evaluation of spiciness and capsaicinoid content. To express the specific variance after eliminating the effects of other variables, partial correlations were used to estimate the relationships between two variables. We observed a strong correlation between spiciness intensity ratings and capsaicinoid content, with a Pearson’s correlation coefficient of 0.78 at p ≤ 0.001. However, other specific variables may have influenced the relationship between spiciness intensity and total capsaicinoid content. Partial correlation analysis indicated that the free sugar content most strongly affected the relationship between spiciness intensity and capsaicinoid content, showing the largest first-order partial correlation coefficient (rxy/z: 0.091, p ≤ 0.01).

This study represents the first nationwide survey regarding the distribution of Cd content in cacao-growing soils in Colombia. The soil Cd distribution was analyzed using a cold/hotspots model. Moreover, both descriptive and predictive analytical tools were used to assess the key factors regulating the Cd concentration, considering Cd content and eight soil variables in the cacao systems. A critical discussion was performed in four main cacao-growing districts. Our results suggest that the performance of a model using all the variables will always be superior to the one using Zn alone. The analyzed variables featured an appropriate predictive performance, nonetheless, that performance has to be improved to develop a prediction method that might be used nationwide. Results from the fitted graphical models showed that the largest associations (as measured by the partial correlation coefficients) were those between Cd and Zn. Ca had the second-largest partial correlation with Cd and its predictive performance ranked second. Interestingly, it was found that there was a high variability in the factors correlated with Cd in cacao growing soils at a national level. Therefore, this study constitutes a baseline for the forthcoming studies in the country and should be reinforced with an analysis of cadmium content in cacao beans.

Background:Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by aching and morning stiffness in the neck, shoulders and pelvic girdle. It is a common inflammatory rheumatic disease in patients age >50 years, particularly women. While giant cell arteritis (GCA) is present in 9–21% of PMR cases, many PMR patients have symptoms independent of GCA. Current treatment options are limited to long-term glucocorticoid (GC), however, with risks of GC-related complications, including cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and diabetes mellitus.Objectives:To compare GC use and subsequent GC-related complications in patients with PMR vs a general population (GnP) cohort.Methods:This retrospective, observational cohort study was based on Optum’s de-identified Clinformatics®Data Mart Database (study period 01Jan2006-30June2018). The PMR cohort included patients with ≥1 inpatient or ≥2 outpatient claims ≥30 days apart with PMR related diagnosis codes (ICD-9: 725.xx or ICD-10: M35.3x) between 01Jan2006–30June2017 (patient identification period) during which first occurrence of a PMR-related medical claim was set as the index date (ID). Patients with ≥1 medical claim related to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or GCA during the study period were excluded. The GnP cohort included patients without any RA, GCA or PMR diagnosis codes during the study period, with their ID set as 12 months from the start of continuous health plan enrollment. Patients in both cohorts were required to be age ≥50 years (on ID) with continuous health plan enrollment ≥12 months pre- and post-ID. Cohorts were 1:1 propensity score matched. GC use and incidence of GC-related complications were assessed from GC initiation, starting from the baseline period (12-months pre-ID) through to the end of GC use during the post-index period (i.e. the end of data availability, end of the study period or death [whichever occurred first]). Mean, standard deviation (SD) and median values for continuous variables, and frequency (n and %) for categorical variables were compared between the matched cohorts. Wilcoxon sum rank tests andt-tests on continuous variables and Chi-square tests or Fisher’s exact tests on categorical variables between matched cohorts were conducted. Duration of GC use was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared between matched cohorts using log-rank tests.Results:In each of the PMR and GnP cohorts, 16,865 patients were included. In both matched cohorts, median age was 76 years, median Elixhauser comorbidity index score was 2.0, and the majority (~65%) were women. The median follow-up duration was 45 months and 51 months in the PMR and GnP cohorts, respectively. A higher proportion of patients in the PMR cohort than the matched GnP cohort (90.4% vs 62.8%;p<0.001) used GC. The mean (SD) duration of GC therapy was significantly longer in the PMR cohort than in the matched GnP cohort (242.1 [±317.2] days vs 35.5 [±124.6] days;p<0.001). Although patients in the PMR cohort had a lower average daily dose of GC (prednisone equivalent) vs the GnP cohort (mean [SD] mg 16.3 [± 21.9] vs 27.8 [±24.5], respectively [p<0.0001)], the cumulative GC dose was significantly higher in the PMR cohort than the GnP cohort (2125.4 [±3689.5] mg vs 476.6 [±1450.9] mg;p<0.001). This indicates PMR patients used chronic low dose GC while the GnP patients utilized higher dose GC burst therapy less frequently. The number of incident complications associated with GC use were significantly greater in the PMR cohort, and included hypertension, diabetes, skin toxicity, infections, neuropsychiatric effects, endocrine abnormalities, renal dysfunction/ failure, ocular effects, and cardiovascular disease (p<0.05).Conclusion:The overall GC burden in patients with PMR is high. With a higher incidence of GC-related comorbidities among PMR patients, early onset of these complications may be a significant contributor to long-term healthcare costs in these patients.Acknowledgments:This study was funded by Sanofi, Inc.
