Abstract
Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common histologic type of lung cancer. Mutations of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene are among the most common genetic alterations in LUAD and are the targets of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The enzyme visfatin is involved in the generation of the oxidized form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and regulation of intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP), critical processes in cancer cell survival and growth. This study explored the relationship between visfatin single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with EGFR status and the clinicopathologic development of LUAD in a cohort of 277 Taiwanese men and women with LUAD. Allelic discrimination of four visfatin SNPs rs11977021, rs61330082, rs2110385 and rs4730153 was determined using a TaqMan Allelic Discrimination assay. We observed higher prevalence rates of advanced (T3/T4) tumors and distant metastases in EGFR wild-type patients carrying the rs11977021 CT + TT and rs61330082 GA + AA genotypes, respectively, compared with patients carrying the CC and GG genotypes. EGFR wild-type patients carrying the rs11977021 CT + TT genotypes were also more likely to develop severe (stage III/IV) malignancy compared with patients carrying the CC genotype. An analysis that included all patients found that the association persisted between the rs11977021 CT + TT and rs61330082 GA + AA genotypes and the development of T3/T4 tumors compared with patients carrying the rs11977021 CC and rs61330082 GG genotypes. In conclusion, these data indicate that visfatin SNPs may help to predict tumor staging in LUAD, especially in patients with EGFR wild-type status.

Abstract
Involvement of extracellular nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (eNAMPT, i.e., visfatin or pre-B-cell colony-enhancing factor), a cancer metabokine, in chronically hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected (CHC) patients with sustained virological responses (SVRs) remains elusive. This 8-year prospective cohort study evaluated eNAMPT profiles of 842 consecutive CHC patients, including 519 who had completed an anti-HCV therapy course and pre-therapy and 24-week post-therapy surveys. For 842 patients, pre-therapy associations were HCV RNA, homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index, and body mass index with eNAMPT levels, and NAMPT-rs61330082 T allele with total cholesterol levels. NAMPT-rs10953502, NAMPT-rs2058539, and NAMPT-rs61330082 were in a linkage disequilibrium block, which was associated with total cholesterol levels. Compared to pre-therapy levels, at 24 weeks post-therapy, decreased eNAMPT and increased lipid levels were observed in SVR patients (n = 427). Among SVR patients, higher cumulative incidences of cardiovascular events occurred in those with a NAMPT-rs61330082 TT genotype than those with non-TT genotypes (28.2% vs. 8.4%, p < 0.001). NAMPT-rs61330082 TT genotype was independently associated with incident cardiovascular events (95% CI hazard ratio (HR): 1.88-10.37; HR: 4.415); no eNAMPT profiles were associated with incident malignancies. Of CHC patients, hepatic vascular endothelial cells and baseline peripheral leukocytes expressed higher eNAMPT levels than controls, and peripheral eNAMPT-positive leukocyte proportions decreased after SVR. During HCV infection, eNAMPT involvement in glucose metabolism was modulated by HCV RNA linked to lipid metabolism and NAMPT-associated SNPs. Hepatic endothelial cells and peripheral leukocytes potentially secrete eNAMPT. Caution is required for incident cardiovascular events in SVR patients with NAMPT-rs61330082 TT genotype.

Abstract
Introduction: The amniotic fluid nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) levels have not been compared among women with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) comorbid with intra-amniotic infection, sterile intra-amniotic inflammation (IAI), colonization, or without IAI and microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity (MIAC). Therefore, the main aim was to quantify the amniotic fluid NAMPT in women with PPROM complicated by intra-amniotic infection, sterile IAI, or colonization. The second aim was to characterize the diagnostic indices of NAMPT to reveal IAI. The third aim was to determine whether the cervical fluid and maternal serum NAMPT quantitation might be of value in the identification of intra-amniotic inflammatory complications in PPROM.Methods of study: NAMPT levels in amniotic fluid, cervical fluid, and maternal serum were assessed in three independent cohorts of women with singleton pregnancies complicated by PPROM between 24+0 and 36+6 weeks of gestation consisting of 88, 121, and 88 women, respectively. Amniotic fluid samples were obtained by transabdominal amniocentesis, cervical fluid samples were obtained using a Dacron polyester swab and maternal blood was obtained by venipuncture of the cubital vein. The NAMPT levels were measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Testing for MIAC and IAI was performed on all women, who were then categorized into four subgroups: intra-amniotic infection (MIAC and IAI), sterile IAI (IAI alone), colonization (MIAC alone), and without MIAC and IAI.Results: Women with intra-amniotic infection and women with sterile IAI had higher NAMPT levels than did women with colonization and women without MIAC and IAI (intra-amniotic infection: median 73.6 ng/mL, sterile IAI: median 55.5 ng/mL, colonization: median 12.1 ng/mL, without MIAC and IAI: 10.6 ng/mL; p < .0001). An amniotic fluid NAMPT level of 37 ng/mL was the best value for the detection of intra-amniotic infection in women with PPROM. Cervical fluid (p = .51) and maternal serum (p = .50) NAMPT levels did not reflect intra-amniotic inflammatory complications in women with PPROM.Conclusions: Intra-amniotic infection and sterile IAI are associated with higher NAMPT levels in amniotic fluid but not in cervical fluid or maternal serum in women with PPROM. Amniotic fluid NAMPT might be a marker for invasive identification of IAI in PPROM.

Abstract
The main objective of the study was to quantify serum levels of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt/pre-B-Cell colony-enhancing factor 1/visfatin) in subjects with a history of retinal vascular occlusions (RVOs), disease conditions characterized by pronounced ischemia, and metabolic energy deficits. A case-control study of 18 subjects with a history of RVO as well as six healthy volunteers is presented. Serum Nampt levels were quantified using a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. Serum Nampt levels were 79% lower in patients with a history of RVO compared with that in healthy volunteers (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference among the types of RVOs, specifically branch retinal vein occlusions (n=7), central retinal vein occlusions (n=5), hemiretinal vein occlusions (n=3), and central retinal artery occlusions (n=3; P=0.69). Further studies are needed to establish the temporal kinetics of Nampt expression and to determine whether Nampt may represent a novel biomarker to identify at-risk populations, or whether it is a druggable target with the potential to ameliorate the long-term complications associated with the condition, ie, macular edema, macular ischemia, neovascularization, and permanent loss of vision.
