Abstract
Maternal mortality is unusually high in the United States compared to other wealthy nations and is characterized by major disparities in race/ethnicity, geography, and socioeconomic factors. Similar to other developed nations, the United States has seen a shift in the underlying causes of pregnancy-related death, with a relative increase in mortality resulting from diseases of the cardiovascular system and preexisting medical conditions. Improved continuity of care aimed at identifying reproductive-age women with preexisting conditions that may heighten the risk of maternal death, preconception management of risk factors for major adverse pregnancy outcomes, and primary care visits within the first year after delivery may offer opportunities to address gaps in medical care contributing to the unacceptable rates of maternal mortality in the United States.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A number of studies have reported a high correlation between psoriasis and metabolic syndrome (MetS), and tobacco smoking is one independent risk factor accounting for the increased prevalence both for psoriasis and MetS. However, few studies have been conducted to assess the effects of tobacco smoking on co-morbidities of psoriasis and MetS. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study with 1014 psoriasis patients recruited from January to May 2021. Patients were recruited with a cluster survey method in Yueyang Hospital (affiliated with Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine) and Shanghai Skin Diseases Hospital (affiliated with Tongji University). Data were collected by face-to-face questionnaire interviews which included basic information, personal life habits, medical history, and clinical examinations. SPSS 24.0 was used for data analysis and a p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS The 1014 psoriasis patients were predominantly males (65.58%), with an average age of 45.98 years (IQR: 34.00–57.00). Of these, 25.74% (261) of psoriasis had MetS and 31.85% (323) were tobacco smokers. Male psoriasis patients had higher tobacco smoking prevalence than female patients. With increasing age and BMI, the prevalence of tobacco smoking among psoriasis patients increased dramatically (p<0.01). Logistic regression indicated that psoriasis patients with tobacco smoking had 1.78 times (95% CI: 1.21–2.60) the probability to have MetS than those without tobacco smoking, even adjusting for potential confounding factors. Moreover, smoking psoriasis patients with MetS consumed more cigarettes per day, with longer smoking duration, but with an older age of smoking initiation. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of tobacco smoking and MetS among psoriasis patients was high in Shanghai, and tobacco smoking was positively associated with the MetS among psoriasis patients. Clinicians should recommend psoriasis patients to abstain from tobacco smoking and provide tobacco cessation assistance regularly.

Effects of non-surgical treatment of chronic periodontitis on insulin resistance and glucose tolerance in subjects without diabetes (PARODIA 2 study). J Investig Med 2021; 69:1377-1381.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the effects of non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT) of chronic periodontitis on insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance, and serum C reactive protein (CRP) level in individuals without diabetes. Twenty individuals without diabetes with chronic periodontitis underwent NSPT, which consisted of complete scaling, polishing, root planing, and irrigation of the periodontal pockets with a 10% povidone-iodine solution. Periodontal indices (plaque index, gingival bleeding index, pocket depth, and clinical attachment loss), insulin sensitivity using the Short Insulin Tolerance Test index (KITT), glucose tolerance derived from oral glucose tolerance test, and serum CRP level were measured before and 3 months after the intervention. This study was carried out at the National Obesity Center of Yaoundé Central Hospital, Cameroon. After 3 months, we observed significant improvement in periodontal parameters (all p<0.001) and insulin sensitivity (3.72 (2.99-4.17) %/min before treatment vs 4.04 (3.67-4.78) %/min after treatment, p=0.001) and significant decrease in serum CRP level (2.35 (1.46-4.18) mg/L before vs 1.53 (1.03-2.12) mg/L after, p=0.033). There was a trend toward improvement in glucose tolerance, although not statistically significant after the intervention. This study suggests that NSPT of chronic periodontitis in individuals without diabetes is associated with increased insulin sensitivity and decreased serum CRP levels.Trial registration number NCT02830113.

[PMID: 32964053 PMCID: PMC7502120 DOI: 10.1155/2020/4217607] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2020] [Accepted: 06/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sidt2 (SID1 transmembrane family, member 2) is a multiple transmembrane lysosomal membrane protein newly discovered in our previous study. In the previous study, we used gene targeting technique to make a mouse model of sidt2 gene knockout (sidt2-/-). It was found that sidt2-/- mice showed elevated fasting blood glucose and impaired glucose tolerance, showing a disorder of glucose metabolism, suggesting that sidt2 may be closely related to insulin resistance. We used 3T3-L1 adipocytes, C2-C12 myoblasts, and HEPA1-6 hepatoma cells as subjects to observe the effects of sidt2 on insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and the abovementioned insulin signal transduction pathways, and then to explore the effect of sidt2 on peripheral tissue insulin resistance and its possible molecular mechanism. METHODS (1) Lentiviruses with sidt2 gene knockout and puromycin resistance were constructed by Crispr/cas9 vector and transfected into 3T3-L1 adipocytes, C2-C12 myoblasts, and HEPA1-6 hepatoma cells to construct sidt2 knockout cell line model. (2) Glucose uptake of 3T3-L1 adipocytes, C2-C12 myoblasts, and HEPA1-6 hepatoma cells stimulated by insulin was detected by glucose detection kit, and the results were analyzed. (3) Sidt2 knockout group and control group of 3T3-L1 adipocytes, C2-C12 myoblast, and HEPA1-6 hepatoma cells were cultured according to the routine method. The total proteins of the above cells were extracted, and the expression of PAKT (thr308), PI3-K, and PIRS-1 (ser307) in the IRS-1 signaling pathway of the three groups was detected by western blot technique. RESULTS (1) The sidt2 elimination models of 3T3-L1 adipocytes, C2-C12 myoblasts, and HEPA1-6 hepatoma cells were successfully constructed. (2) It was found that the glucose uptake of cells in the sidt2 knockout group was lower than that in normal group under insulin stimulation through the detection of glucose concentration in the cell culture medium. (3) It was found that the expression of PAKT (thr308) and PI3-K protein decreased and the expression of PIRS-1 (ser307) protein increased in sidt2-/- group compared to the control group. CONCLUSIONS sidt2 knockout can reduce glucose uptake in peripheral tissue under insulin stimulation, which may lead to peripheral tissue insulin resistance by affecting the IRS-1 signal pathway.
