Effect of excessive gestational weight gain before and after 28 weeks on trial of labor after cesarean stratified by pre-pregnancy body mass index: a retrospective cohort study. Front Med (Lausanne) 2023; 10:1157967. [PMID: 37636572 PMCID: PMC10447909 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1157967] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2023] [Accepted: 07/24/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to assess the effect of excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) before and after 28 weeks on the mode of delivery in women who attempted a trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC), stratified by pre-pregnancy BMI. A retrospective analysis of the outcomes of eligible women who attempted trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) in a Chinese hospital from January 2016 to October 2022 was performed. GWG before and after 28 weeks was categorized as 'excessive' or 'non-excessive' based on the guideline of Institute of Medicine (IOM). Multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to estimate the effect of excessive GWG before and after 28 weeks on mode of delivery in women who underwent TOLAC, stratified by pre-pregnancy BMI. Of the 512 women who underwent term trial of labor, 71.1% achieved a vaginal birth. No correlation was found between excessive GWG before 28 weeks and the rate of vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC). Among women with or without excessive GWG before 28 weeks, excessive GWG after 28 weeks was significantly associated with a reduced rate of VBAC. When stratified by pre-pregnancy BMI, women who had excessive gestational weight gain after 28 weeks gestation had lower rates of VBAC than those who did not, regardless of being underweight, normal or overweight (aOR 0.23, 95% CI 0.06-0.88; aOR 0.42, 95% CI 0.25, 0.70; and aOR 0.12, 95% CI 0.04-0.36; respectively). Excessive weight gain after 28 weeks of pregnancy was related to decreased rates of VBAC, irrespective of pre-pregnancy weight status and weight gain before 28 weeks.

Abstract
Background Metabolic effects of integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) have been reported. The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) is a publicly available database that captures spontaneously reported adverse events. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between INSTIs and metabolic adverse events using the FAERS database. Methods FAERS data were queried from quarter 4 of 2007 through quarter 4 of 2019 and limited to adults. The Standardized MedDRA Query for 'hyperglycaemia/new-onset diabetes mellitus' (H/DM) was used to identify metabolic adverse events of interest. Weight gain was analysed as a separate event. Reporting odds ratios (RORs) and 95% CIs were calculated for the INSTI class and individual agents. Results Over 10.1 million FAERS reports were identified. Any INSTI was mentioned as a primary and/or secondary suspect agent in 18,400 (0.18%) reports (bictegravir: 1414 [0.01%]; dolutegravir: 7840 [0.08%]; elvitegravir: 4034 [0.04%]; raltegravir: 5551 [0.05%]). RORs (95% CI) for H/DM and weight gain for any INSTI were 1.20 (1.15-1.27) and 2.16 (1.96-2.38). For individual agents, RORs (95% CI) for H/DM and weight gain were as follows: bictegravir, 1.23 (1.10-1.37) and 6.82 (5.50-8.41); dolutegravir, 1.28 (1.19-1.39) and 1.86 (1.58-2.18); elvitegravir, 0.76 (0.56-1.02) and 1.63 (1.37-1.92); and raltegravir, 1.00 (0.90-1.11) and 3.29 (2.77-3.91). H/DM was noted in 159 bictegravir and 712 dolutegravir reports. Conclusion Overall, H/DM was associated with bictegravir and dolutegravir and weight gain with all INSTIs. Clinicians should know the potential relationship between INSTIs and metabolic effects and institute appropriate monitoring.

Effects of graded levels of dietary protein supplementation on milk yield, body weight gain, blood biochemical parameters, and gut microbiota in lactating ewes. Front Vet Sci 2023; 10:1223450. [PMID: 37601763 PMCID: PMC10435659 DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2023.1223450] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2023] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 08/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Diet-associated characteristics such as dietary protein levels can modulate the composition and diversity of the gut microbiota, leading to effects on the productive performance and overall health of animals. The objective of this study was to see how changes in dietary protein levels affect milk yield, body weight gain, blood biochemical parameters, and gut microbiota in lactating ewes. In a completely randomized design, eighteen ewes were randomly assigned to three groups (n = 6 ewes/group), and each group was assigned to one of three dietary treatments with different protein contents. The ewes' groups were fed on 8.38% (S-I), 10.42% (S-m), and 13.93% (S-h) dietary protein levels on a dry basis. The body weight gain and milk yield were greater (p < 0.05) in ewes fed the S-h dietary treatment than in those fed the S-m and S-1 diets, respectively. However, milk protein contents were similar (p > 0.05) across the treatments. The blood glucose, total protein, cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, lactate, creatinine, and C-reactive protein contents of lactating ewes were not influenced (p > 0.05) by different dietary protein levels. The alanine transaminase, aminotransferase, and lactate dehydrogenase activities were also not changed (p > 0.05) across the groups. However, blood urea nitrogen and albumin contents of lactating ewes were changed (p < 0.05) with increasing levels of dietary protein, and these metabolite concentrations were higher (p < 0.05) for S-h than the rest of the treatments. In the different treatment groups, Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes were found to be the most dominant phyla. However, the abundance of Lachnospiraceae species decreased as dietary protein levels increased. Within the Bacteroidetes phylum, Rikenellaceae were more abundant, followed by Prevotellaceae, in ewes fed the S-m diet compared to those fed the other diets. Based on the results, feeding at an optimal protein level improved milk yield and body weight gain through modifying the digestive tract's beneficial bacterial communities. The results of blood metabolites suggested that feeding higher-protein diets has no negative impact on health.

Abstract
Background Although over one-third of adolescents presenting with restrictive eating disorders have a history of being overweight, there is no evidence-based treatment for atypical anorexia nervosa (AAN). Family-Based Treatment (FBT) is a feasible treatment and is routinely applied to treat atypical anorexia nervosa in adolescents; however, identifying a treatment target weight within FBT for these patients is a challenge. Objective This study aimed to 1) increase understanding regarding recommendations for weight gain versus weight stabilization in FBT for adolescents with AAN and 2) examine treatment outcomes in FBT for adolescents with AAN. Method Using a retrospective design, we reviewed the files of 41 patients with AAN who were referred for FBT at a pediatric eating disorder program located within a tertiary care health centre. Results We found variability in recommendations for weight gain, with 56% of the sample recommended to gain weight and 44% recommended to stabilize weight. Baseline BMI for age appeared to be a key factor in establishing recommendations for weight gain. AAN patients in our sample gained a significant amount of weight across treatment, with those recommended to gain weight showing more weight gain during treatment. Forty-nine percent of the sample completed FBT; those patients displayed a mean of 10kg of weight gain during treatment. Conclusions Findings suggest that many patients gained weight during the course of FBT for AAN. Further study on weight changes during FBT for adolescents with AAN and increased diagnostic consistency for AAN will be important for this field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In socially vulnerable populations, evidence is needed regarding the role of maternal nutritional status on child weight during the first 2 years of life. OBJECTIVES We aimed to assess the association of pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) with offspring BMI-for-age z-scores (BAZs) during the first 2 years of life. METHODS A population-based birth cohort study was conducted with 900 mother-child pairs. Pre-pregnancy weight and weight at delivery were collected from medical records, and anthropometric data were measured at birth and at 6-month, 1-year and 2-year follow-up visits. Linear regression and linear mixed-effect models assessed associations with pre-pregnancy BMI, GWG and BAZ during the first 2 years of life. RESULTS Pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity and excessive GWG were positively associated with BAZ at birth and at 1- and 2-year follow-up visits. There were no significant additional BAZ changes per year based on the exposures up to age 2 years. CONCLUSIONS Elevated maternal pre-pregnancy BMI and GWG were associated with a child's higher BAZ at birth, and these differences remained constant throughout the first 2 years of life in Amazonian children. These findings highlight the importance of promoting adequate maternal weight before pregnancy and during prenatal care also in socially vulnerable populations.

Abstract
Altricial birds often display biased preferences in providing parental care for their dependent offspring, especially during food shortages. During this process, such inflexible rules may result in provisioning errors. To demonstrate how parents optimize their provisioning strategies, we proposed a "diagnosis model" of parental care to posit that parents will undergo a diagnosis procedure to test whether selecting against some particular offspring based on phenotype is an optimal strategy. We tested this model in an asynchronous hatching bird, the Azure-winged Magpie Cyanopica cyanus, based on 10 years of data about demography and parental provisioning behaviors. Given their higher daily survival rates, core offspring (those hatched on the first day) merits an investment priority compared with their marginal brood mates (those hatched on later days). However, a marginal offspring also merited a priority if it displayed greater weight gain than the expected value at the early post-hatching days. Parents could detect such a marginal offspring via a diagnosis strategy, in which they provisioned the brood at the diagnosis stage by delivering food to every nestling that begged, then biased food toward high-value nestlings at the subsequent decision stage by making a negative response to the begging of low-value nestlings. In this provisioning strategy, the growth performance of a nestling became a more reliable indicator of its investment value than its hatching order or competitive ability. Our findings provide evidence for this "diagnosis model of parental care" wherein parents use a diagnosis method to optimize their provisioning strategy in brood reduction.

Abstract
Atypical anorexia nervosa (AAN) has historically been underrecognized by clinicians due to traditional markers of low weight as indicative of malnutrition. Inadequate case identification can lead to treatment delays while placing children and adolescents with AAN at further risk of medical and psychiatric sequalae. The accompanying article in this journal issue examines the challenges of determining weight-based treatment goals for this population. In this commentary, we elaborate on this discussion and question the validity of weight stabilization as a treatment target in child and adolescent AAN. Furthermore, we address: (1) the role of weight and historical, variable, and stable growth curves in shaping treatment goals; (2) future growth targets, including numeric and remission targets; and; (3) the impact of weight stigma and implicit weight bias in clinical decision-making. We argue that target weights must take a secondary role in the treatment of AAN, shifting the focus to the mental, behavioural, and nutritional aspects of this disorder. In addition, we recommend that clinicians acknowledge and mitigate fears around weight gain and weight-based social rejection for young people and families in treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Maternal gestational weight gain is an important determinant of pregnancy outcomes and may have an even greater role in twin pregnancies because of their higher rate of pregnancy complications and greater nutritional demands. However, data on the optimal week-specific gestational weight gain in twin pregnancies and on interventions that should be applied in cases of inadequate gestational weight gain are limited. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine whether a new care pathway that involves monitoring gestational weight gain using a week-specific chart, along with a standardized protocol for managing cases with inadequate gestational weight gain, can optimize maternal gestational weight gain in twin pregnancies. METHODS In this study, patients with twin pregnancies followed in a single tertiary center between February 2021 and May 2022 were exposed to the new care pathway (postintervention group). Gestational weight gain and clinical outcomes were compared with those of a previously described cohort of patients with twins followed in our clinic before the implementation of the new care pathway (preintervention group). The new care pathway targeted patients and care providers and included educational material, a newly developed body mass index group-specific gestational weight gain chart, and a stepwise management algorithm in cases of inadequate gestational weight gain. The body mass index group-specific gestational weight gain charts were divided into 3 zones: (1) green zone (optimal gestational weight gain at 25th-75th centiles); (2) yellow zone (suboptimal gestational weight gain at 5th-24th or 76th-95th centiles); and (3) gray zone (abnormal gestational weight gain, at <5th or >95th centile). The primary outcome was the overall proportion of patients achieving optimal gestational weight gain at birth. RESULTS A total of 123 patients were exposed to the new care pathway and were compared with 1079 patients from the preintervention period. Patients in the postintervention group were more likely to achieve optimal gestational weight gain at birth (60.2% vs 47.7%; adjusted odds ratio, 1.91; 95% confidence interval, 1.28-2.86) and were less likely to achieve low-suboptimal gestational weight gain (7.3% vs 14.7%; adjusted odds ratio, 0.41; 95% confidence interval, 0.20-0.85) or any suboptimal gestational weight gain (26.8% vs 34.8%; adjusted odds ratio, 0.60; 95% confidence interval, 0.39-0.93) at birth. In addition, patients in the postintervention group were less likely to have low-abnormal gestational weight gain anytime during gestation (18.9% vs 29.1%; P=.017) and were more likely to have normal gestational weight gain throughout pregnancy (21.3% vs 14.0%; P=.031) or high-abnormal gestational weight gain anytime during gestation (18.0% vs 11.1%; P=.025), suggesting that in comparison with standard care, the new care pathway is more effective in preventing patients from moving into the low-abnormal zone than the high-abnormal zone. Furthermore, the new care pathway was more effective than standard care in correcting high-suboptimal gestational weight gain and high-abnormal gestational weight gain. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that the new care pathway may be effective in optimizing maternal gestational weight gain in twin gestations, which may in turn contribute to better clinical outcomes. This is a simple, low-cost intervention that can be easily disseminated among providers caring for patients with twin pregnancies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the associations of ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption and obesity indicators among individuals with and without type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) from the Coronary Artery Calcification in Type 1 Diabetes cohort study. DESIGN A secondary analysis. The consumption of UPF was assessed using the dietary data collected with the Harvard FFQ, and each food item was categorised according to the NOVA food processing classification. Height, weight and waist circumference were measured at baseline and after a mean of 14·6-year follow-up. Generalised estimating equations stratified by diabetes status were used to assess the associations between UPF intake and obesity indicators over 14 years of follow-up. SETTING USA. PARTICIPANTS A total of 600 adults (256 T1DM and 344 non-diabetic controls) aged 39 ± 9·1 years at baseline and followed up for over 14 years were included. RESULTS Participants with T1DM consumed significantly more UPF than non-diabetic controls at baseline: 7·6 ± 3·8 v. 6·6 ± 3·4 servings per day of UPF, respectively (P < 0·01). Participants with T1DM and with the highest UPF intake had the highest weight (βQ4 v. Q1 = 3·07) and BMI (βQ4 v. Q1 = 1·02, all P < 0·05) compared with those with the lowest UPF intake. Similar positive associations were observed in non-diabetic controls. CONCLUSIONS Individuals with T1DM may consume more UPF than non-diabetic controls. Positive associations between UPF consumption and obesity indicators suggest that limiting UPF can be recommended for obesity prevention and management. Further research is needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Women are at risk for weight gain during the transition to menopause, but few have examined the contribution of menopause to weight gain in women with human immunodeficiency virus (WWH). METHODS From 2000 to 2013, participants (621 WWH; 218 without HIV [WWOH]) from the Women's Interagency HIV Study were categorized by menopausal phase using serial measures of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH). Multivariable linear mixed models examined the association of menopausal phase with body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) trajectory, stratified by HIV status. RESULTS In models controlled for chronologic age, the estimated effects (95% confidence interval) of menopausal phase on annual rate of BMI change across early perimenopause, late perimenopause, and menopause, respectively, compared to premenopause were -0.55% (-.80 to -.30), -0.29% (-.61 to .03), and -0.67% (-1.12 to -.20) in WWH, whereas estimated effects were 0.43% (-.01 to .87) and 0.15% (-.42 to .71) across early and late perimenopause, respectively, and -0.40% (-1.24 to .45) across menopause in WWOH. The estimated effects on rate of WC change were negative across early perimenopause (-0.21% [-.44 to .03]) and menopause (-0.12% [-.5 to .26]) and positive across late perimenopause (0.18% [-.10 to .45]) in WWH, and positive across all 3 menopausal phases in WWOH, but these effects were not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS In WWH, the menopausal transition was associated with BMI and WC trajectories that were mostly in a negative direction and opposite from WWOH after adjusting for age, suggesting that HIV blunts weight gain during the menopausal transition.

Abstract
Introduction Integrase strand transfer inhibitor-based regimens (eg, containing dolutegravir [DTG]) are associated with weight/body mass index (BMI) increases among people living with HIV-1 (PLWH). Assessing antiretroviral therapy (ART)-related weight/BMI changes is challenging, as PLWH may experience return-to-health weight gain as a result of viral suppression. This retrospective, longitudinal real-world study compared weight/BMI outcomes among overweight/obese (BMI ≥25 kg/m2; thus excluding return-to-health weight/BMI changes), treatment-naïve PLWH who initiated darunavir (DRV)/cobicistat (c)/emtricitabine (FTC)/tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) or DTG + FTC/TAF. Methods Treatment-naïve PLWH with BMI ≥25 kg/m2 who initiated DRV/c/FTC/TAF or DTG + FTC/TAF (index date) had ≥12 months of baseline observation and ≥1 weight/BMI measurement in baseline and post-index periods in the Symphony Health IDV® database (07/17/2017-12/31/2021) were included. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was used to balance differences in baseline characteristics between cohorts. On-treatment time-to-weight/BMI increases ≥5% were compared between cohorts using weighted adjusted Cox models. Results Post-IPTW, 76 overweight/obese DRV/c/FTC/TAF-treated (mean age = 51.2 years, 30.7% female, 35.6% Black, mean baseline BMI = 33.2 kg/m2) and 88 overweight/obese DTG + FTC/TAF-treated PLWH (mean age = 51.5 years, 31.4% female, 31.4% Black, mean baseline BMI = 32.7 kg/m2) were included. The median [interquartile range] time from ART initiation to weight/BMI increase ≥5% was shorter for the DTG + FTC/TAF cohort (21.8 [9.9, 32.3] months) than the DRV/c/FTC/TAF cohort (median and interquartile times not reached; Kaplan-Meier rate at 21.8 months = 20.8%). Over the entire follow-up, overweight/obese PLWH initiating DTG + FTC/TAF had a more than twofold greater risk of experiencing weight/BMI increase ≥5% compared to those initiating DRV/c/FTC/TAF (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval]=2.43 [1.02; 7.04]; p = 0.036). Conclusion Overweight/obese PLWH who initiated DTG + FTC/TAF had significantly greater risk of weight/BMI increase ≥5% compared to similar PLWH who initiated DRV/c/FTC/TAF and had shorter time-to-weight/BMI increase ≥5%, suggesting a need for additional monitoring to assess the risk of weight gain-related cardiometabolic disease.

Abstract
Introduction Klotho is an anti-aging protein that reduces adiposity and increases caloric expenditure, among others. Although associations between secreted α-Klotho levels and obesity have been described, its relationship with central obesity and visceral fat accumulation during childhood is poorly understood. Our objective was to study the longitudinal associations between serum α-Klotho concentrations and obesity-related parameters in apparently healthy children. Subjects and methods We studied a cohort of 208 apparently healthy school-age children (107 girls and 101 boys) assessed at baseline (mean age 8.5 ± 1.8 years) and at follow-up 4 years later. Serum α-Klotho concentrations were measured at baseline in all subjects. Obesity-related parameters, such as BMI, waist circumference, body fat, visceral fat, triglyceride levels, HOMA-IR index, and C-reactive protein were studied. Boys and girls were classified into 3 groups according to weight change between baseline and follow-up visits: weight loss, stable weight, or weight gain (based on a BMI-SDS change cut-off > 0.35 SD). Results In girls (N=107), but not in boys, we observed negative associations of serum α-Klotho protein with BMI, waist circumference, body fat, visceral fat, HOMA IR index, and C-reactive protein at baseline and also at follow-up. The associations of α-Klotho and obesity-related parameters were more evident in girls who exhibited weight gain. In such girls, multivariate regression analyses (adjusting for age, puberty and baseline weight/height ratio) showed that α-Klotho protein was negatively associated with follow-up BMI, waist circumference, and visceral fat (p = 0.003 to 0.028). For each 1 SD-increase in baseline α-Klotho, follow-up waist circumference decreased by 4.15 cm and visceral fat by 1.38 mm. Conclusions In school-age girls, serum α-Klotho concentrations are longitudinally related to a more favorable metabolic profile. In girls experiencing weight gain, α-Klotho may prove to be a protective factor against the accumulation of visceral fat.

Choe Y, Cha JH, Kim YJ, Choi J, Lee K, Kim N, Na JY, Yang S. Rapid weight gain in early life is associated with central precocious puberty in girls, not in boys - a nationwide population-based study in Korea. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2023; 14:1210995. [PMID: 37522114 PMCID: PMC10381025 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1210995] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2023] [Accepted: 06/21/2023] [Indexed: 08/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to investigate the effect of rapid weight gain (RWG) on the incidence of central precocious puberty (CPP) using nationwide population-based data. Methods A total of 253,967 children (101,841 boys and 152,126 girls) who underwent regular health consultations under the National Health Insurance Service from 2007 to 2010 were followed up until the age of 10 years for boys and 9 years for girls. We calculated differences in the weight Z-scores from 4-6 months to 9-12 months (infancy) and from 9-12 months to 18-24 months or 30-36 months (toddlerhood) using the lambda-mu-sigma method. The population was subdivided into four groups: RWGinf/tod (infancy > + 0.67 standard deviation score [SDS], toddlerhood > 0 SDS), RWGinf (infancy > + 0.67 SDS, toddlerhood < 0 SDS), RWGtod (toddlerhood > + 0.67 SDS), and control (no RWG). The diagnosis of CPP was based on the diagnostic codes of the International Classification of Diseases 10th revision and the prescription of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists. The cumulative risk of CPP based on age was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier survival curves, and the association between the RWG groups and CPP was assessed using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results CPP was diagnosed in 268 boys and 9,225 girls. For the girls, the CPP-free probability was the highest in the control group, followed by the RWGtod, RWGinf, and RWGinf/tod groups (log-rank p < 0.001). However, the incidence of CPP did not vary significantly for the boys. Compared to the control group, the other groups had a higher risk of CPP in girls (RWGinf/tod: adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.35, 95%, confidence interval [95% CI] 1.13-1.62; RWGinf: aOR 1.25, 95% CI 1.13-1.38; and RWGtod: aOR 1.18, 95% CI 1.09-1.28). Conclusions This nationwide population-based study demonstrated that any RWG from birth to 3 years of age contributed to an increased risk of CPP in girls but not in boys. Girls who experienced RWG during both infancy and toddlerhood had the highest risk of developing CPP. These findings suggest that early detection and appropriate management of excessive weight gain in early life may be important for preventing CPP in girls.

Abstract
The metabolic prohormone pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) is generally translocated into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) for entry into the secretory pathway. Patients with mutations within the signal peptide (SP) of POMC or its adjoining segment develop metabolic disorders. However, the existence, metabolic fate, and functional outcomes of cytosol-retained POMC remain unclear. Here, we show that SP-uncleaved POMC is produced in the cytosol of POMC neuronal cells, thus inducing ER stress and ferroptotic cell death. Mechanistically, the cytosol-retained POMC sequesters the chaperone Hspa5 and subsequently accelerates degradation of the glutathione peroxidase Gpx4, a core regulator of ferroptosis, via the chaperone-mediated autophagy. We also show that the Marchf6 E3 ubiquitin ligase mediates the degradation of cytosol-retained POMC, thereby preventing ER stress and ferroptosis. Furthermore, POMC-Cre-mediated Marchf6-deficient mice exhibit hyperphagia, reduced energy expenditure, and weight gain. These findings suggest that Marchf6 is a critical regulator of ER stress, ferroptosis, and metabolic homeostasis in POMC neurons.

Abstract
Metabolic disorders (MDs) like obesity, dyslipidemia, and type 2 diabetes are more frequently observed in patients diagnosed with psychiatric disorders undergoing treatment with antipsychotics, particularly atypical agents, than in the general population. The second generation of antidiabetics (SGAD) has been associated with cardiovascular benefits in large clinical trials which represent an important advantage over first-generation agents and might be of interest in the psychiatric population where multiple risk factors for cardiovascular disease (e.g., smoking, lack of exercise, and lack of healthy diet) are common occurrences. Therefore, this systematic review focused on the evaluation of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs), as a representative of the SGAD, to determine whether these agents may be recommended in patients with psychiatric disorders and MDs. For analysis, three electronic databases and clinical trial registers were explored for papers published between January 2000 and November 2022. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 20 clinical and preclinical trials, therapeutic guidelines, and meta-analyses were reviewed, and clinical recommendations were formulated. The large majority of the reviewed data (nine papers) were graded 'moderate' based on the GRADE criteria. The efficacy and tolerability of liraglutide and exenatide in the management of antipsychotic-induced MDs were supported by evidence of average quality, while the results regarding other GLP-1RAs were not sufficient to formulate a recommendation for their administration in this specific population. Clozapine and olanzapine had the most negative consequences on body weight, glycemic, and lipid metabolism. Therefore, careful monitoring of metabolic parameters is required when these are prescribed. Liraglutide and exenatide may be recommended as augmentative agents to metformin therapy, especially in patients receiving these two atypical antipsychotics, but most of the reviewed data supported the efficacy of GLP-1RAs only during the treatment administration. The two follow-up studies retrieved in the literature reported modest effects after GLP-1RA discontinuation after 1 year; therefore, long-term monitoring of metabolic parameters is required. More research is needed, and three randomized clinical trials are already ongoing, to evaluate the effects of GLP-1RAs in decreasing body weight, but also on other important metabolic variables, such as HbA1c status, fasting glucose levels, and lipid levels in patients receiving antipsychotic treatment.

Abstract
Janus kinase inhibitor tofacitinib belongs to a group of targeted synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs, also known as small molecule inhibitors. They are oral drugs with a novel strategy to treat inflammatory diseases. The major concern with the use of these drugs is a high risk for infections and other potential side effects. Here, we have focused on reporting one of the rare side effects of tofacitinib, weight gain. We have reported six cases of tofacitinib-induced weight gain in patients of ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and vasculitis.

Abstract
Background The influence of genetics and environment on the association of the plasma proteome with body mass index (BMI) and changes in BMI remain underexplored, and the links to other omics in these associations remain to be investigated. We characterized protein-BMI trajectory associations in adolescents and adults and how these connect to other omics layers. Methods Our study included two cohorts of longitudinally followed twins: FinnTwin12 (N=651) and the Netherlands Twin Register (NTR) (N=665). Follow-up comprised four BMI measurements over approximately 6 (NTR: 23-27 years old) to 10 years (FinnTwin12: 12-22 years old), with omics data collected at the last BMI measurement. BMI changes were calculated using latent growth curve models. Mixed-effects models were used to quantify the associations between the abundance of 439 plasma proteins with BMI at blood sampling and changes in BMI. The sources of genetic and environmental variation underlying the protein abundances were quantified using twin models, as were the associations of proteins with BMI and BMI changes. In NTR, we investigated the association of gene expression of genes encoding proteins identified in FinnTwin12 with BMI and changes in BMI. We linked identified proteins and their coding genes to plasma metabolites and polygenic risk scores (PRS) using mixed-effect models and correlation networks. Results We identified 66 and 14 proteins associated with BMI at blood sampling and changes in BMI, respectively. The average heritability of these proteins was 35%. Of the 66 BMI-protein associations, 43 and 12 showed genetic and environmental correlations, respectively, including 8 proteins showing both. Similarly, we observed 6 and 4 genetic and environmental correlations between changes in BMI and protein abundance, respectively. S100A8 gene expression was associated with BMI at blood sampling, and the PRG4 and CFI genes were associated with BMI changes. Proteins showed strong connections with many metabolites and PRSs, but we observed no multi-omics connections among gene expression and other omics layers. Conclusions Associations between the proteome and BMI trajectories are characterized by shared genetic, environmental, and metabolic etiologies. We observed few gene-protein pairs associated with BMI or changes in BMI at the proteome and transcriptome levels.

Abstract
Weight gain is a known adverse effect of ruxolitinib, a JAK1/2 inhibitor that is the mainstay of treatment for many patients with myelofibrosis. The mechanisms behind weight increase with ruxolitinib is incompletely understood, although decreased adipose tissue lipolysis and increased appetite due to blocking the effects of leptin in the hypothalamus have been proposed. In order to explore the metabolic changes in ruxolitinib-treated patients with myelofibrosis, we performed a pilot study to assess the feasibility of using a portable indirect calorimeter to quantify energy expenditure before and during ruxolitinib treatment and report the results of two patients. Waist circumference increased during ruxolitinib treatment in both patients. Energy expenditure initially increased followed by a decrease and then increase again, but to levels below baseline. These results suggest that weight gain secondary to ruxolitinib may be related to changes in whole body energy expenditure.

Abstract
Fat storage and weight gain are dominant traits for hibernating mammals. However, excessive fat accumulation may cause liver damage. Here, we explore the lipid accumulation and metabolic processes of the Himalayan marmot (Marmota himalayana), a hibernating rodent species. We find that the unsaturated fatty acid (UFA) content in food was consistent with a large increase in the body mass of Himalayan marmots. Metagenomic analysis shows that Firmicutes Bacterium CAG:110 plays a synergistic role by synthesizing UFAs, which is demonstrated by fecal transplantation experiments, indicating that the gut microbiome promotes fat storage in Himalayan marmots for hibernation. Microscopic examination results indicate that the risk of fatty liver appears at maximum weight; however, liver function is not affected. Upregulations of UFA catabolism and insulin-like growth factor binding protein genes provide an entry point for avoiding liver injury.

Abstract
Introduction It is critical to focus on individual weight profiles in line with efforts to tailor treatment, given the heterogeneous nature of the clinical population. This study aims to identify and describe possible two-year weight trajectories among patients accepted to the Early Psychosis Intervention Programme (EPIP) in Singapore. Methods De-identified data was extracted from EPIP's standing database for patients accepted from 2014 to 2018 with a schizophrenia spectrum disorder. Data collected at fixed time-points (baseline, 1-year, and 2-year) included anthropometric measures (height and weight), and sociodemographic (age, sex, highest education level, and vocational status) and clinical (duration of untreated psychosis, number of inpatient admissions, and scores on the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale and Global Assessment of Functioning) information. Results A total of 391 complete data sets were included for main analyses. Those with missing weight data were more likely to be males, older at baseline, have a highest education level of tertiary and above at baseline, and have a longer duration of untreated psychosis. The weight change across two years resulted in the following membership breakdown: 151 (38.6%) in super high risk; 133 (34.0%) in high risk mitigated; 17 (4.3%) in at risk; 34 (8.8%) in delayed risk; and 56 (14.4%) in low risk. Discussion The lack of pharmacological, dietary, and physical activity data is a significant limitation in this study; however, the results reinforce the justification for future studies to prospectively capture and examine the influence of these data, with the aim of early detection and weight intervention for high risk groups.

Abstract
This investigation was designed to study the relationship between weight change over 10 years and leukocyte telomere length (LTL) in a large sample of 3070 randomly selected U.S. adults, 36-70 years old. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data were used to examine the relationship between percent weight change and LTL. Potential mediating variables were controlled using partial correlation. After adjusting for age, race, year, and housing status, the association between percent weight change over 10 years and LTL was significant in women (F = 6.9, p = 0.0138). Adjusting for the demographic and several other covariates weakened the relationship slightly (F = 4.7, p = 0.0392). With all the covariates controlled, for each one percentage point increase in weight over the previous 10 years, telomeres were, on average, 3.48 base pairs (bp) shorter in women. Given that each one-year increase in age was associated with telomeres that were 15.0 bp shorter in women, the median weight change in U.S. women over the previous 10 years (an increase of 10.4%) was predictive of LTLs that were 36 bp shorter, on average, or an increase of 2.4 years of biological aging. Percent weight change over 10 years was not associated with LTL in U.S. men. Percent weight change over 10 years is a strong predictor of biological aging in U.S. women, but not in men.

Abstract
Obesity, a complex disease that involves energy imbalance and chronic low-grade inflammation, is implicated in the pathogenesis of several chronic non-communicable diseases. As dietary components modulate the human body's inflammatory status, the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII®), a literature-derived dietary index, was developed in 2009 to characterize the inflammatory potential of a habitual diet. Abundant research has been conducted to investigate the associations between DII and obesity. In this narrative review, we examined the current state of the science regarding the relationships between DII and the inflammatory pathophysiological aspects related to obesity. DII is associated with inflammation in obesity. The most pro-inflammatory diet was directly related to higher levels of pro-inflammatory markers, which included C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1β, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Therefore, evidence suggests that the use of the DII may be useful for understanding the relationship between diet and the inflammatory process related to obesity.

Abstract
Optimal fluid therapy during perioperative care as part of enhanced recovery after cardiac surgery (ERACS) should improve the outcome. Our objective was finding out the effects of fluid overload on outcome and mortality within a well-established ERACS program. All consecutive patients undergoing cardiac surgery between January 2020 and December 2021 were enrolled. According to ROC curve analysis, a cut-off of ≥7 kg (group M, n = 1198) and <7 kg (group L, n = 1015) was defined. A moderate correlation was shown between weight gain and fluid balance r = 0.4, and a simple linear regression was significant p < 0.0001, R2 = 0.16. Propensity score matching showed that increased weight gain was associated with a longer hospital length of stay (LOS) (L 8 [3] d vs. M 9 [6] d, p < 0.0001), an increased number of patients who received pRBCs (L 311 (36%) vs. M 429 (50%), p < 0.0001), and a higher incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) (L 84 (9.8%) vs. M 165 (19.2%), p < 0.0001). Weight gain can easily represent fluid overload. Fluid overload after cardiac surgery is common and is associated with prolonged hospital LOS and increases the incidence of AKI.

Abstract
Objective Preterm birth is one of the most important health problems in the world. Feeding intolerance is one of the most common and serious complications of premature infant. The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of Chinese pediatric Tuina on the prevention of feeding intolerance in favour of weight gain in premature infants. Methods A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted in the Department of Neonatology in our hospital. Premature infants were recruited and randomly assigned to an intervention group or a control group. Premature infants in the intervention group received a Chinese pediatric Tuina intervention by professional chiropractors, while premature infants in the control group received standard care. The incidence of feeding intolerance and weight gain situation were compared between the two groups. Result After 1 week of intervention, the body weight (2.5±0.5 vs 2.0±0.4, p=0.038), head circumference (32.8±1.7 vs 29.9±1.4, p=0.041), albumin (34.6±5.8 vs 28.4±6.1, p-0.026) and prealbumin (155.8±35.2 vs 113.6±36.8, p=0.021) of preterm infants in the intervention group were significantly better than those in the control group. The incidence of feeding intolerance (7 vs 15, p=0.032) in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group. Although there were no statistically significant differences (P>0.05), the incidences of gastrointestinal bleeding, necrotizing enterocolitis, and liver insufficiency were lower in the intervention group than in the control group. Conclusion Chinese pediatric Tuina can effectively prevent the occurrence of feeding intolerance in premature infants and be conducive to the weight gain and improving nutritional status of premature infants.

Abstract
Most acute phase antipsychotic drug trials in schizophrenia last only a few weeks, but patients must usually take these drugs much longer. We examined the long-term efficacy of antipsychotic drugs in acutely ill patients using network meta-analysis. We searched the Cochrane Schizophrenia Group register up to March 6, 2022 for randomized, blinded trials of at least 6-month duration on all second-generation and 18 first-generation antipsychotics. The primary outcome was change in overall symptoms of schizophrenia; secondary outcomes were all-cause discontinuation; change in positive, negative and depressive symptoms; quality of life, social functioning, weight gain, antiparkinson medication use, akathisia, serum prolactin level, QTc prolongation, and sedation. Confidence in the results was assessed by the CINeMA (Confidence in Network Meta-Analysis) framework. We included 45 studies with 11,238 participants. In terms of overall symptoms, olanzapine was on average more efficacious than ziprasidone (standardized mean difference, SMD=0.37, 95% CI: 0.26-0.49), asenapine (SMD=0.33, 95% CI: 0.21-0.45), iloperidone (SMD=0.32, 95% CI: 0.15-0.49), paliperidone (SMD=0.28, 95% CI: 0.11-0.44), haloperidol (SMD=0.27, 95% CI: 0.14-0.39), quetiapine (SMD=0.25, 95% CI: 0.12-0.38), aripiprazole (SMD=0.16, 95% CI: 0.04-0.28) and risperidone (SMD=0.12, 95% CI: 0.03-0.21). The 95% CIs for olanzapine versus aripiprazole and risperidone included the possibility of trivial effects. The differences between olanzapine and lurasidone, amisulpride, perphenazine, clozapine and zotepine were either small or uncertain. These results were robust in sensitivity analyses and in line with other efficacy outcomes and all-cause discontinuation. Concerning weight gain, the impact of olanzapine was higher than all other antipsychotics, with a mean difference ranging from -4.58 kg (95% CI: -5.33 to -3.83) compared to ziprasidone to -2.30 kg (95% CI: -3.35 to -1.25) compared to amisulpride. Our data suggest that olanzapine is more efficacious than a number of other antipsychotic drugs in the longer term, but its efficacy must be weighed against its side effect profile.
