Background The study investigated the relationship between the concentrations of Mg, Ca, Fe, Cu, Zn, P and anthropometric and biochemical parameters in the blood serum of patients with heart failure (HF) and the potential influence on the development and progression of HF. Material & methods The study included 214 patients (155 men and 59 women), aged 40–87 years, presenting symptoms or signs typical of HF (according to the NYHA functional classification). Serum concentrations were determined for Mg, Ca, Fe, Cu, Zn, P, C-reactive protein (CRP), creatinine, urea, triglyceride levels (TG), total cholesterol (CH), high density protein (HDL), low density protein (LDL). The levels of macro-and microminerals were analysed using inductively coupled serum optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Results Our study confirmed the role of known risk factors in the development of heart failure, including: overweight, diabetes, hypertension, high triglycerides (TG), high total cholesterol (CH), high levels of low density protein (LDL) and reduced levels of high density protein (HDL), high CRP, high creatinine. Moreover, deficient serum concentrations of Mg (47% of the studied men and 54% of the women) and Cu (in 44% of men and more than 30% of women) were observed, as well as subnormal serum Fe (2% of women) and Zn (1% of men). Elevated serum Ca was found in 50% of men and 49% of women. In 44% of the studied men and 52% of the studied women, P levels in serum were also above-average. The study revealed a significant positive correlation between serum levels of Ca and Mg, and also Ca and Cu in women. In men, serum Cu was positively correlated with Mg and Ca concentrations. In patients from group 1 (NYHA I–II), Mg content was positively correlated with Ca and Cu. In this patient group, Ca was also positively associated with Cu content in serum. In group 2 (NYHA III-IV), serum Mg concentration was significantly positively correlated with that of Cu and Ca. Conclusions Changes in the serum concentrations of macro-and microminerals may significantly affect the severity of HF in Polish patients.

The objectives of this study were to determine the serum activities of the pancreatic enzymes amylase, lipase, trypsinogen 1 and trypsinogen 2, serum concentrations of total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein and triglycerides and serum inflammatory indicators, namely C-reactive protein and procalcitonin, in Holstein-Friesian dairy cows with left displacement of the abomasum (LDA). A total of 60 cows (30 LDA-affected and 30 healthy) were included in the study. Laboratory analyses were performed using commercially available ELISA kits and chemical reagents according to the manufacturers’ recommendations. There was a significant increase (P ≤ 0.05) in the activities of lipase, trypsinogen 1 and trypsinogen 2 in LDA-affected cows compared to healthy cows. Amylase concentrations, however, remained unchanged. The serum concentrations of total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) increased in LDA-affected cows while the concentrations of low-density lipoprotein and triglycerides were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) decreased compared to healthy cows. Procalcitonin and C-reactive protein concentrations were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) increased in LDA-affected cows compared to healthy cows. This study indicates that displacement of the abomasum may be associated with significant pathological effects in the pancreas that may affect cows in the post-operative period.

The Impact

India leads the world with largest number of diabetic patients 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 patients 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 patients. The present study was planned in Department of General Medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Patna from july 2018 to December 2018.For the present study total 60 patients were selected. Out of 60 patients total 30 patients were enrolled in the group A as diabetic group and remaining 30 patients were enrolled in group B as normal patients. The biochemical parameters like Fating glucose level, Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), Total cholesterol, Triglycerides, High Density Lipid, and Low Density Lipid were estimated. As diabetes is a disease of self-management, appropriate nutrition (low calories, low carbohydrates, and low fat with high fiber diet) regular physical activity and proper medication to achieve good glycaemic control have to be followed. Patients of diabetes with obesity- weight management are a key factor. The diabetic patients had elevated serum total cholesterol, elevated triglyceride. The slightly elevated low density lipoprotein (LDL-C) and reduced levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL-C) indicating that diabetic patients were more prone to cardiovascular diseases. Diabetes has now become a global endemic in both developing and developed countries. Hence it is the need of the hour for early detection and prevention of this non-communicable disease.

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.

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.

Abstract. In 12 patients treated 2 to 58 months previously for medullary carcinoma of the thyroid, basal serum concentrations of calcitonin, gastrin, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, glucagon, insulin, and pancreatic polypeptide were measured in search of any correlation between these and the clinical course of the disease. All patients had elevated serum calcitonin levels indicating present disease. One patient had increased serum concentrations of several hormones. Another had achlorhydria and high serum gastrin levels. No relationship between calcitonin and gastro-intestinal polypeptides was found in 11 patients. No correlations were found between serum levels of polypeptides and the occurrence of diarrhoea in 5 patients. It is concluded that gastro-intestinal polypeptides, which are produced by other apudomas, are not secreted in more than normal concentrations under basal conditions, by the majority of patients previously treated for medullary carcinoma of the thyroid.

The Relationship

Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is considered one of the most informative biomarkers of chronic kidney disease (CKD). NGAL can also serve as a biomarker of cardiovascular disease and heart failure (HF). However, the relationship between systolic function and serum NGAL concentrations in patients with chronic HF (CHF) of ischemic origin remains insufficiently studied. The aim. To study the influence of tubulo-interstitial injury marker NGAL on systolic function in patients with CHF of ischemic origin. Materials and methods. The study included 51 patients with CHF, stage II AB, NYHA II-IV FC. Doppler echocardiographic examination was performed on the device Esaote MyLab Eight (Italy) according to standard methods. NGAL levels were analyzed using an ELISA kit (E-EL-H0096, Elabscience, USA). Depending to the concentration of serum NGAL, the patients were divided into 2 subgroups. In the first group (n = 37), the NGAL level was higher than 168 ng/ml, in the second (n = 14) – less than 168 ng/ml. Results. The mean serum NGAL concentration in the first subgroup was 192 (183; 200) ng/ml, in the second subgroup – 154 (134; 160) ng/ml. The patients with CHF of ischemic origin with tubulo-interstitial injury (according to the serum concentration of NGAL) did not differ significantly from the patients with CHF of ischemic origin without tubulo-interstitial injury in age (P = 0.950), height (P = 0.983), weight (P = 0.681), body surface area (P = 0.975). Most of left ventricular systolic function indicators showed a downward tendency (S 6.90 ± 2.85 cm/s vs. 7.67 ± 2.83 cm/s (P = 0.536); S lat 7.33 ± 2.08 cm/s vs. 11.00 ± 4.00 cm/s (P = 0.467); TEI LV 0.56 ± 0.26 c.u. vs. 0.49 ± 0.14 c.u. (P = 0.747)) in the patients with CHF of ischemic origin with elevated serum levels of NGAL compared to similar indicators in the patients with CHF of ischemic origin without tubulo-interstitial injury. The index of LVEF was significantly lower in the patients with CHF with elevated serum NGAL compared to that in the patients with CHF with normal serum NGAL (50.43 ± 17.85 % vs. 63.29 ± 13.24 % (P = 0.021)). Conclusions. Serum NGAL was not only the sensitive marker of tubulo-interstitial injury in patients with CHF of ischemic origin, but also appeared to be a predictor of changes in systolic heart function.

Tea Benalu (Scurrula atropurpurea [Bl.] Dans.) and Mango Benalu (Dendrophthoe pentandra L. miq.) containssecondary metabolites with potential antioxidant potential. Antioxidants can inhibit the oxidation process and reduce Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and increase High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL). The safety of the preparations for the combination of parasites of tea and mango leaves was tested to obtain toxic effects after repeated treatment tests over some time. The purpose of this study was to determine the toxic effects of a combination of methanolic extracts of a combination of tea parasites and mangoes in female rats (Rattus norvegicus) subchronically for 28 days by looking at the results of the clinical biochemical examination on lipid profiles, namely total cholesterol levels, triglycerides, high-density lipoproteins (28%). HDL), and Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL). The method of this study was experimental with a combination dose of methanol extract of tea parasite leaves and mango parasite leaves at a dose of 250 mg / KgBB, 500 mg / KgBB and 1000 mg / KgBB with 5x replications each treatment. The subjects used white rats (Rattus norvegicus) female Wistar strains aged 6-8 weeks with a minimum body weight of 100 grams. The treatment in this study was in the form of each dose given 5 times a week for 28 days (subchronic toxicity test) orally. Lipid profile levels were analyzed using the one-way ANOVA test. The results showed that the level of control blood lipid profile with a treatment dose of 250 mg / KgBW, 500 mg / KgBW, and 1000 mg / KgBW was not significantly different. The toxicity test of combined extracts of tea leaves and mango parasite leaves of female rat Rattus novergicus on subchronic exposure 28 days with those doses showed no difference tangible between treatments of controls. This means it is safe and does not cause toxic properties in the lipid profile of female wistar rats.Keywords: Lipid Profile, Scurrula atropurpurea, Dendophthoe pentandra, Sub-Chronic Toxicity, Rattus norvegicus ABSTRAKBenalu Teh (Scurrula atropurpurea [Bl.] Dans.) dan  Benalu Mangga (Dendrophthoe pentandra L. miq.) mengandung metabolit sekunder berpotensi sebagai antioksidan.
