Abnormal Lipid Metabolism

Background: Psoriasis is a recurrent disfiguring skin disease, associated with abnormal lipid metabolism and with high occurrence of cardiovascular complications. This linked to the extent of disease, as it is often seen in those patients who have larger body areas involved with psoriasis. Objective: To estimate frequency of dyslipidemia in psoriatic patients and to determine the frequency of dyslipidemia in psoriatic patients based on the severity of disease. Study Design: Cross-sectional study Place and Duration of Study: Department of Dermatology, Fauji Foundation Hospital Rawalpindi from 1stMarch 2017 to 30th September 2017. Methodology: One hundred and fifty cases were enrolled. All cases were enrolled and 3ml of blood was collected following 12 hrs of fasting for determination of lipid profile. Blood sample was sent to the Hospital laboratory and reports were verified by senior pathologists. Severity of psoriasis was determined according to PASI score. Results: Age of participants was between 18-60 years with mean 38.88±12.26 years and 29 (19.33%) male and 121 (80.67%) female cases. According to severity of disease, 50 (33.3%) cases had mild, 70 (46.7%) had moderate and 30(20%) cases had severe Psoriasis. The mean cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) was 12.91 ± 2.17, 8.93 ± 2.90, 5.0 ± 2.28 and 1.98 ± 0.31 respectively. There were 100(66.7%) cases who had dyslipidemia and 50(33.3%) had normal lipid profile. Conclusion: Frequency of dyslipidemia is very high and is associated with severity of psoriasis. Keywords: Psoriasis, Dyslipidemia, Lipid profile and Cardiovascular disease.

Objectives: This study will help us to understand what lipid profile is normally present in our population, if abnormal, timely screening, education, and proper management can be done. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC), Karachi, Pakistan. Period: November 2018-April 2019. Material & Methods: For the lipid profile, intravenous blood samples were collected in testing bottles after overnight fasting of 9-12 hours and sent to the institutional laboratory for testing. Dyslipidemia was defined as abnormal levels of any of the following components of the lipid profile. Total cholesterol of <200mg/dL was considered “desirable” while that of >240mg/dL was termed as hypercholesterolemia. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) was considered as “low” when it was <40mg/dL while Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) was considered as “optimal” when it was less than 100 mg/dL. Triglycerides level >150 mg/dL was identified as hypertriglyceridemia. We defined isolated dyslipidemias as abnormal levels of any of these. This study was assessed and approved by the institutional review board of JPMC. Results: 112 participants of age <40 and >20 years were registered with 62 males and 50 females. Prevalence of dyslipidemia was found to be 75.9% with significantly high percentage in females (p < 0.05). 55.4% of the participants had desirable serum cholesterol and 42.9% had hypertriglyceridemia. 58% of these had HDL levels <40 mg/dL while 18.8% had high LDL levels. The mean serum cholesterol was significantly different in males and females (p=0.018). 7.1% of the total had isolated hypertriglyceridemia, 18.8% had isolated low HDL levels, and 46.4% had mixed hyperlipidemia, with significant differences between males and females in the former two. Conclusion: Dyslipidemia is a major risk factor for numerous systemic disorders and should be detected early in life for an effective management prior to the appearance of symptoms. This study gave a high prevalence of dyslipidemia in asymptomatic young adults, with females being more frequently affected than females.

Latar belakang: Gangguan pendengaran akibat bising (GPAB) adalah komplikasi yang palingumum disebabkan oleh paparan terhadap bising, meskipun ada beberapa komplikasi lain yang bisadisebabkan oleh paparan bising. Komplikasi metabolik dari paparan terhadap bising telah dievaluasi olehberbagai penelitian.Tujuan: Meneliti hubungan antara GPAB dengan kadar profil lipid pada pekerja yangterpapar bising di lingkungan kerja.Metode: Penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif analitik dengan desain crosssectional study. Data diperoleh melalui proses wawancara, pemeriksaan audiometri, dan pemeriksaankadar profil lipid.Hasil: Rerata intensitas kebisingan bagian proses 98 dB, dan non-proses berkisar 46-98 dB. Berdasarkan hasil pemeriksaan audiometri terhadap 50 pekerja yang memenuhi kriteria inklusidan eksklusi, didapatkan 26 orang (52%) dengan GPAB tuli sensorineural dan 24 orang (48%) tidakmengalami GPAB. Kami menemukan hubungan signifikan antara paparan bising pada pekerja denganpeningkatan kadar trigliserida (TG), total kolesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), dan penurunankadar high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (p<0,05). Terdapat hubungan antara kadar TG yang tinggi terhadapterjadinya GPAB pada pekerja yang terpapar bising dengan intensitas >85 dB (p<0,05) dan tidak dijumpaihubungan peningkatan kadar TC, LDL, dan penurunan kadar HDL terhadap terjadinya GPAB (p>0,05).Kesimpulan: Pada penelitian ini, ada hubungan antara hiperlipidemia dengan GPAB. Pekerja denganhipertrigliseridemia yang tepapar bising >85 dB berisiko lebih besar menderita GPAB. Kata kunci: Kebisingan, GPAB, profil lipid ABSTRACTBackground: Noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) is the most common complication that causedby noise exposure, although there are other complications as a result of noise exposure. Metaboliccomplications from noise exposure have been evaluated in various studies. Purpose: To examine therelationship between NIHL with lipid profile in workers who are exposed to noise in workplace. Methods:The study design was analytic descriptive with cross-sectional study. Data collection was done throughinterviews, audiometry screening, and lipid profile examinations. Results: The average intensity in processsection was 98 dB, and in non-process section ranged between 46-98 dB. The results of audiometricexamination of the 50 workers who met the inclusion criteria, were 26 persons (52%) with sensorineuralNIHL and 24 persons (48%) did not experience NIHL. We found a significant association between noiseexposure among workers with elevated levels of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-densitylipoprotein (LDL), and decreased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels (p<0,05). There was highcorrelation beween TG levels with the NIHL among workers who are exposed to noise >85 dB (p<0,05),and no correlation between elevated levels of TC, LDL and decreased HDL levels with NIHL (p>0,05).Conclusion: We found a significant relationship between hyperlipidemia and NIHL. Workers withhypertriglyceridemia had greater risk of suffering NIHL when exposed to noise >85 dB in the workplace. Keywords: Noise, NIHL, lipid profile

OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the lipid profile in a population of university students. METHODS: cross-sectional study with 702 students, of both genders enrolled in various courses at a public university in Fortaleza-CE. The demographic data and data on lifestyle habits were collected through a self-administered questionnaire. The blood collection was performed in a clinical laboratory. RESULTS: showed a predominantly young population, with a mean age of 21.5 years with more females (62.7%). High levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol and cholesterol associated with low density lipoprotein (LDL-c) were found in 23.0%, 9.7% and 5.9% of students, respectively. The cholesterol associated with high density lipoprotein (HDL-c) was at reduced values in 12.0% of subjects and was significantly associated with smoking (p=0.0231) and physical inactivity (p=0.0357). CONCLUSION: changes in lipid profile are present in the young population and intervention studies should be encouraged in order to reduce the prevalence of cardiovascular disease in adulthood.

Abstract Background To describe the biomarkers of lipid metabolism in children and adolescents with polyarticular and systemic JIA and to relate them to diseases subtypes, diseases activity markers, and nutritional status. Methods A cross-sectional study including 62 JIA patients was performed. The following variables were evaluated: disease activity and medications used, body mass index, height for age (z-score), skin folds (bicipital, tricipital, subscapular and suprailiac), food intake based on three 24-h food recalls, lipid profile (total cholesterol (CT), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), triglycerides (TG) and non-HDL (N-HDLc), glycemia and insulin, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), ultrasensitive C-reactive protein (us-CRP) and apolipoproteins A-I and B (Apo A-I and Apo B). Results Dyslipidemia was observed in 83.3% of the patients. Based on classical lipid profile, low HDL-c levels was the most frequently alteration observed. Inadequate levels of LDL-c, Apo B and NHDL-c were significantly more frequent in the systemic JIA subtype when compared to the polyarticular subtype (p = 0.017, 0.001 and 0.042 respectively). Patients on biological therapy had a better adequacy of Apo A-I concentrations. The ESR showed a negative correlation with Apo A-I level (r = − 0.25, p = 0.047). Conclusion We concluded that dyslipidemia is common in patients with JIA, especially in systemic subtype. The systemic subtype and an elevated ESR were associated with lower concentrations of Apo A-I, suggesting the participation of the inflammatory process.

Introduction: India leads the world with largest number of diabetic cases and is often referred to as the diabetes capital. Diabetic dyslipidemia in India is one of the main causes for Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) mortality of the world. Dyslipidemia are disorders of lipoprotein metabolism, including lipoprotein overproduction or deficiency. It is a preventable risk factor which is mostly observed in diabetes cases and that may precipitate the cardiovascular disorders. Our aim of the study is to determine the impact of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on lipid profile of diabetic cases reporting at tertiary care hospital. Materials and methods: It was a cross sectional study conducted at Department of Biochemistry, Patna Science College, Patna, Bihar. Total 140 diabetic cases were randomly selected and they were examined for dyslipidemia. Fasting blood glucose concentration and Lipid Profile [Total Cholesterol (TC), High Density Lipoprotein (HDL), Very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) and Triglycerides (TG)] were investigated by using commercially available reagent kits in Biochemistry analyzer. Collected data was analyzed by using appropriate software. Results: Out of total 140 diabetic cases examined, the mean age of cases was 48.93 ± 12.1 years. In present study we found the mean Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) was 188.76 ± 54.63 mg/dl. The prevalence rates in our study for high Total Cholesterol (TC) and Triglycerides (TG) were 13.6% and 41.4% respectively. The prevalence rates for high LDL-C, very high LDL-C and low HDL-C in the diabetic subjects were 8.6%, 5.0% and 72.9% respectively. Conclusion: The diabetic cases had elevated serum total cholesterol, elevated triglyceride (triacylglycerol) and slightly elevated low density lipoprotein (LDL-C) and reduced levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL-C) indicating that diabetic cases were more prone to cardiovascular diseases. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Dyslipidemia, Triglyceride, HDL-C, LDL-C, Total Cholesterol.

Yellowish Plaque

Background: Xanthelasma is an abnormal lipid deposition on palpebrae, which is observable as yellowish plaque or nodules. Its incidence is 0.56–1.5% with onset of 15–73 years old and mostly occurs in the fourth and fifth decade. Few reports of xanthelasma did not cover the correlation between lipid profile and xanthelasma in Indonesia. Purpose: To find a correlation between lipid profile with xanthelasma in Dr. M. Djamil Hospital, Padang. Methods: This was an analytic cross-sectional study with consecutive sampling. There were 36 participants (18 xanthelasma and 18 control). Result: The highest age group was >36 - ≤45 years old (38.89%). More cases were observed in female (66.67%). Body mass index examination of xanthelasma revealed that most were overweight (55.56%). Grade I xanthelasma was the most common (72.22%). The cholesterol serum level of xanthelasma patients was higher than the subject controls (224.61±29.77 mg/dl versus­ 169.39±35.84 mg/dl) (p<0,05). The High Density Lipoprotein (HDL)  serum level of xanthelasma patients was lower than controls (46.44±14.19 mg/dl versus 51.78±15.9 mg/dl) (p>0,05). The Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) serum level of xanthelasma patients was higher than control (139.39±29.73 mg/dl versus 106.50±35.43 mg/dl) (p<0,05). Triglyceride serum level of xanthelasma patients was higher than the controls (167.83±87.26 mg/dl versus 121.61±54.52 mg/dl) (p>0,05). Conclusion: There was a correlation between higher cholesterol and LDL serum level with xanthelasma. No correlation between lower HDL and a higher triglyceride serum level with xanthelasma.

SUMMARY AIM To describe the prevalence of dyslipidemia in children and adolescents with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs), particularly juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (jSLE), and juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). METHODS Retrospective cross-sectional study conducted in the pediatric rheumatology outpatient clinic. We evaluated 186 children and adolescents between the ages of 5 and 19 years. The medical records were reviewed for the following data: demographic and clinical features, disease activity, and lipid profile (triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein (LDL-C), high density lipoprotein (HDL-C) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL-C)). In addition, non-HDL cholesterol was calculated as TC minus HDL-C. The cut-off points proposed by the American Academy of Pediatrics were used to classify the lipid profile. RESULTS Dyslipidemia was observed in 128 patients (68.8%), the most common being decreased HDL-C (74 patients, 39.8%). In the JIA group there was an association between the systemic subtype and altered LDL-C and NHDL-C, which demonstrated a more atherogenic profile in this subtype (p=0.027 and p=0.017, respectively). Among patients with jSLE, the cumulative corticosteroid dose was associated with an increase in LDL-C (p=0.013) and with a decrease in HDL-C (p=0.022). CONCLUSION Dyslipidemia is common in children and adolescents with ARDs, especially JIA, jSLE, and JDM, and the main alteration in the lipid profile of these patients was decreased HDL-C.

ABSTRACTLipid abnormalities in hypothyroidism contribute to the disproportionate increase in cardiovascular risk. A possible relationship between serum level of magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca) and cardiovascular disease was recorded. In this work, the possible correlation between lipid profile components and serum cations Ca and Mg was investigated. Matched healthy women were evaluated in a cross-sectional study. All parameters were measured spectrophotometrically. The results showed a significant decrease (P < 0.05) in high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), total and ionized Mg in hypothyroid patients in comparing with control group. There was a significant increase (P <0.05) in serum total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and (LDL-C)/(HDL-C) ratio in hypothyroid patients as compared with control group. However, no correlation was found between the cation levels and lipid profile of the studied groups. It can be concluded that patients with hypothyroidism exhibited elevated atherogenic parameters (TC and LDL-C) and high risk of cardiovascular diseases.
