Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can lead to post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE). Blast TBI (bTBI) found in Veterans presents with several complications, including cognitive and behavioral disturbances and PTE; however, the underlying mechanisms that drive the long-term sequelae are not well understood. Using an unbiased proteomics approach in a mouse model of repeated bTBI (rbTBI), this study addresses this gap in the knowledge. After rbTBI, mice were monitored using continuous, uninterrupted video-EEG for up to four months. Following this period, we collected cortex and hippocampus tissues from three groups of mice: those with post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE+), those without epilepsy (PTE-), and the control group (sham). Hundreds of differentially expressed proteins were identified in the cortex and hippocampus of PTE+ and PTE- relative to sham. Focusing on protein pathways unique to PTE+, pathways related to mitochondrial function, post-translational modifications, and transport were disrupted. Computational metabolic modeling using dysregulated protein expression predicted mitochondrial proton pump dysregulation, suggesting electron transport chain dysregulation in the epileptic tissue relative to PTE-. Finally, data mining enabled the identification of several novel and previously validated TBI and epilepsy biomarkers in our data set, many of which were found to already be targeted by drugs in various phases of clinical testing. These findings highlight novel proteins and protein pathways that may drive the chronic PTE sequelae following rbTBI.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19148739. [PMID: 35886592 PMCID: PMC9316003 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19148739] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2022] [Revised: 07/10/2022] [Accepted: 07/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Background: To investigate the association between proton pump inhibitor (PPI) exposure and a risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among patients with upper gastrointestinal disease (UGID). Method: We conducted a case−control study from Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database between 1998 and 2013. A total of 20,940 patients with T2DM and 20,940 controls were included. The dose of PPIs was categorized according to the cumulative defined daily dose (cDDD). The risk of T2DM was assessed using conditional logistic regression analysis. Result: Compared with cDDD ≤ 30, higher dosage of PPI exposure was associated with an increased risk of T2DM development: cDDD 31−120 (odds ratio [OR]: 1.20, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.13−1.26); cDDD 121−365 (OR: 1.26, 95% CI: 1.19−1.33); and cDDD > 365 (OR: 1.34, 95% CI: 1.23−1.46). Subgroup analysis of individual PPI showed that pantoprazole (OR: 1.14, 95% CI: 1.07−1.21), lansoprazole (OR: 1.08, 95% CI: 1.03−1.12), and omeprazole (OR: 1.11, 95% CI: 1.06−1.16) have a significantly higher risk of T2DM development. Conclusions: A dose-dependent increased risk of T2DM was found among patients with UGID using higher doses of PPIs compared with those with lower doses of these drugs. Further studies are necessary to investigate the underlying pathophysiology of PPIs and T2DM.

Fleishman NR, Richardson T, Attard TM. A multicenter cohort analysis of fractures in histamine-2-receptor antagonist treated pediatric patients. Curr Med Res Opin 2022; 38:565-570.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Histamine 2 receptor antagonists (H2RA) are amongst the most entrenched antacid therapies available including over-the-counter. They have an excellent safety profile including no known teratogenic risk. Fracture risk is generally recognized with chronic proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy in adults and children although the related mechanism is poorly understood. The analogous risk in H2RAs, including in children, is unclear. We studied the fracture risk and characteristics among hospitalized pediatric patients exposed to H2RA compared to an untreated cohort. METHODS The Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) multicenter database was queried for hospital encounters of children aged 6 months - 15.5 years and between 7/2016 and 8/2017. Patients with comorbidities and medications including PPI that predispose for fractures were excluded from the cohort and a propensity-matched control was identified. The subjects and controls were followed for 2 years for hospitalization with fracture diagnoses. RESULTS Our cohort included 3526 patients with exposure to H2RA and matched controls. Fractures were reported in 1% of patients (67) with no statistical difference between the groups. Upper, then lower extremity fractures were the most common in both groups. Axial skeleton fractures were the least frequently encountered fractures among both groups. CONCLUSION H2RA exposure is not associated with an increased risk of fracture in hospitalized children exposed to H2RA when compared with a matched untreated cohort, further studies are needed to determine if long-term exposure to H2RA may be associated with fracture risk in both those with and without comorbidities or on fracture predisposing medication.
