An inflammatory liquid fingerprint predicting tumor recurrence after liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma. MedComm (Beijing) 2024; 5:e678.

Abstract
Tumor recurrence is a life-threatening complication after liver transplantation (LT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Precise recurrence risk stratification before transplantation is essential for the management of recipients. Here, we aimed to establish an inflammation-related prediction model for posttransplant HCC recurrence based on pretransplant peripheral cytokine profiling. Two hundred and ninety-three patients who underwent LT in two independent medical centers were enrolled, and their pretransplant plasma samples were sent for cytokine profiling. We identified four independent risk factors, including alpha-fetoprotein, systemic immune-inflammation index, interleukin 6, and osteocalcin in the training cohort (n = 190) by COX regression analysis. A prediction model named inflammatory fingerprint (IFP) was established based on the above factors. The IFP effectively predicted posttransplant recurrence (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUROC]: 0.792, C-index: 0.736). The high IFP group recipients had significantly worse 3-year recurrence-free survival rates (37.9 vs. 86.9%, p < 0.001). Simultaneous T-cell profiling revealed that recipients with high IFP were characterized by impaired T cell function. The IFP also performed well in the validation cohort (n = 103, AUROC: 0.807, C-index: 0.681). In conclusion, the IFP efficiently predicted posttransplant HCC recurrence and helped to refine pretransplant risk stratification. Impaired T cell function might be the intrinsic mechanism for the high recurrence risk of recipients in the high IFP group.

Association of prolactin with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among patients with type 2 diabetes: a real-world study. Eur J Prev Cardiol 2023; 30:1439-1447. [PMID: 37042353 DOI: 10.1093/eurjpc/zwad112] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2022] [Revised: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 04/07/2023] [Indexed: 04/13/2023]
Abstract
AIMS The association between prolactin and mortality has been less studied, and findings were inconsistent among different populations. We aimed to investigate the association between serum prolactin (PRL) and mortality among patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed a retrospective cohort study of 10 907 patients with at least 2 prolactin measurements within 2 years since their first inpatient diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. Baseline and mean values of serum PRL were used as exposures. A multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards model was used to estimate the association between PRL and mortality. During a mean follow-up of 5.34 years, 863 patients died, of whom 274 were due to cardiovascular events. Multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) based on different levels of baseline PRL (<100, 100-199, 200-299, and ≥300 mIU/L) were 1.00, 1.10 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.90-1.36], 1.35 (95% CI 1.11-1.67), and 1.49 (95% CI 1.18-1.84) for all-cause mortality and 1.00, 1.24 (95% CI 0.86-1.81), 1.71 (95% CI 1.14-2.62), and 2.42 (95% CI 1.55-3.78) for cardiovascular mortality, respectively. Positive associations were also found when we used the mean values of PRL as the exposure. These associations were consistent among patients of different baseline characteristics. Further sensitivity analyses excluding patients with subclinical or clinical hypothyroidism at baseline and who died within the first 6 months since baseline demonstrated similar results. CONCLUSIONS A positive association between baseline PRL and mortality was observed among patients with type 2 diabetes. Prolactin may be considered a potential biomarker of mortality among patients with type 2 diabetes.

Endocrine 2023; 82:47-56. [PMID: 37341923 DOI: 10.1007/s12020-023-03428-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2023] [Accepted: 06/12/2023] [Indexed: 06/22/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the association between circulating osteocalcin and incident cardiovascular diseases in a community-based cohort, and further assess whether the association differs by different glycemic stages. METHODS This cohort study included 1428 participants (626 men and 802 women) aged 50-80 years, without baseline cardiovascular diseases, and with osteocalcin data available. Circulating total osteocalcin levels were measured by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the relationship between osteocalcin levels and different glycemic stages with cardiovascular events. RESULTS At baseline, 437 participants were normoglycaemia and 991 participants were hyperglycaemia. Median circulating osteocalcin levels were 16.43 (13.34-20.19) and 21.66 (17.95-26.11) ng/mL in men and women, respectively. During a mean follow-up of 7.6 years, 144 cases of cardiovascular diseases occurred (10.1%). The risk of incident cardiovascular diseases linearly increased with a decrease in baseline osteocalcin quartiles (quartile 1 versus quartile 4: hazard ratio 2.44, 95% confidence interval 1.07-5.55) in women, while not in men (Pinteraction on sex = 0.028). Subgroup analyses showed that the association was more predominant in participants with baseline hyperglycaemia. Besides, the joint effect of baseline decreased osteocalcin levels and hyperglycaemia resulted in higher risks of future cardiovascular diseases. CONCLUSIONS Low baseline osteocalcin levels were associated with high risks of cardiovascular diseases in middle-aged and elderly women, which were more predominant among those with baseline hyperglycaemia.

Yang YY, Zhang D, Ma LY, Hou YF, Bi YF, Xu Y, Xu M, Zhao HY, Sun LH, Tao B, Liu JM. Association of famine exposure and the serum calcium level in healthy Chinese adults. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2022; 13:937380. [PMID: 36017320 PMCID: PMC9395633 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2022.937380] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2022] [Accepted: 07/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Famine exposure and higher serum calcium levels are related with increased risk of many disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and osteoporosis. Whether famine exposure has any effect on serum calcium level is unclear. Besides, the normal reference range of serum calcium is variable among different populations. Our aims are 1) determining the reference interval of calcium in Chinese adults; 2) exploring its relationship with famine exposure. METHODS Data in this study was from a cross-sectional study of the epidemiologic investigation carried out during March-August 2010 in Jiading district, Shanghai, China. Nine thousand and two hundred eleven participants with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥60ml/min/1.73m2 were involved to calculate reference interval of total calcium from 10569 participants aged 40 years or older. The analysis of famine exposure was conducted in 9315 participants with complete serum biochemical data and birth year information. RESULTS After rejecting outliers, the 95% reference interval of total serum calcium was 2.122~2.518 mmol/L. The equation of albumin-adjusted calcium was: Total calcium + 0.019* (49-Albumin), with a 95% reference interval of 2.151~2.500 mmol/L. Compared to the age-balanced control group, there was an increased risk of being at the upper quartile of total serum calcium (OR=1.350, 95%CI=1.199-1.521) and albumin-adjusted calcium (OR=1.381, 95%CI=1.234-1.544) in subjects experienced famine exposure in childhood. Females were more vulnerable to this impact (OR= 1.621, 95%CI= 1.396-1.883 for total serum calcium; OR=1.722, 95%CI= 1.497-1.980 for albumin-adjusted calcium). CONCLUSIONS Famine exposure is an important environmental factor associated with the changes in circulating calcium concentrations, the newly established serum calcium normal range and albumin-adjusted calcium equation, together with the history of childhood famine exposure, might be useful in identifying subjects with abnormal calcium homeostasis and related diseases, especially in females.
