Background: There is evidence that inflammation may be involved in pathogenesis of MetS. Inflammatory biomarkers are moving to the forefront as the potent predictors of MetS.

Objectives: The present study aimed to evaluate the association between MetS and some inflammatory biomarkers.

Patients And Methods: This community-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 800 subjects aged above 35 years selected through random sampling in Borujerd (west of Iran) from 2011 to 2013. MetS was defined based on ATP III criteria and the subjects were divided into two groups (MetS and non-MetS groups). Waist circumference and Body Mass Index (BMI) were calculated. In addition, blood samples were taken and C-Reactive Protein (CRP), lipid profile, Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS), and Bleeding Time (BT) were measured. Then, the correlations between MetS and the above-mentioned variables were estimated. After all, the data were entered into the SPSS statistical software (v. 17) and analyzed using T-test, chi-square, median test, and spearman's rank correlation.

Results: In this study, 344 subjects (43%) met the ATP III criteria. The results showed a significant difference between MetS and non-MetS groups regarding BMI, white blood cell, total cholesterol, LDL, platelet, and high-sensitivity CPR (hs-CRP) (P < 0.0001, P = 0.040, P < 0.0001, P < 0.0001, and P = 0.045, respectively). Besides, waist circumference, Triglyceride (TG), FBS, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure were significantly higher, while HDL was significantly lower in the MetS group (P < 0.0001).

Conclusions: The incidence rate of MetS in our survey was higher compared to the previous reports. In addition, this incidence rate was higher in females in comparison to males. The results also showed a significant correlation between inflammatory biomarkers and MetS and that the higher levels of hs-CRP were associated with higher rate of MetS.

Paulius Jonaitis Vytautas Kiudelis Greta Streleckiene Rolandas Gedgaudas Jurgita Skieceviciene Juozas Kupcinskas

Dig Dis 2021 Mar 1. Epub 2021 Mar 1.

Background: Various non-invasive biomarkers have been used in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of different gastrointestinal (GI) diseases for years. Novel technological developments and profound perception of molecular processes related to GI diseases over the last decade has allowed researchers to evaluate genetic, epigenetic and many other potential molecular biomarkers in different diseases and clinical settings. Here we present a review of recent most relevant papers in order to summarize major findings on novel biomarkers in the diagnosis of benign and malignant GI diseases. Read More

Mucosal microRNAs relate to age and severity of disease in ulcerative colitis.

Mikkel Malham Jaslin P James Christian Jakobsen Estrid Hoegdall Kim Holmstroem Vibeke Wewer Boye S Nielsen Lene B Riis

Aging (Albany NY) 2021 Mar 1;13. Epub 2021 Mar 1.

Department of Pathology, Copenhagen University Hospital, Herlev 2730, Denmark.

Despite significant evidence that the expression of several microRNAs (miRNAs) impacts disease activity in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), it remains unknown if the more severe disease phenotype seen in pediatric onset UC can be explained by an altered miRNA expression. In this study, we assessed the relationship between miRNA expression, age, and disease severity in pediatric and adult patients with UC. Using RT-qPCR, we analyzed the expression of miR-21, miR-31, miR-126, miR-142 and miR-155 in paraffin embedded rectum biopsies from 30 pediatric and 30 adult-onset UC patients. Read More

Backgrounds & Aims: Squalene epoxidase (SQLE) is the rate-limiting enzyme for cholesterol biosynthesis. We elucidated the functional significance, molecular mechanisms and clinical impact of SQLE in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

Methods: We performed studies with hepatocyte specific Sqle overexpression transgenic (Sqle tg) mice and mice given high fat high cholesterol (HFHC) or methionine-and choline-deficient (MCD) diet to induce NASH. Read More

Monocyte subtype counts are associated with 10-year cardiovascular disease risk as determined by the Framingham Risk Score among subjects of the LIFE-Adult study.

Coronary heart disease, an inflammatory disease, is the leading cause of death globally. White blood cell counts (including monocytes) are easily available biomarkers of systemic inflammation. Monocyte subtypes can be measured by flow cytometry and classified into classical (CD14high, CD16neg), intermediate (CD14high, CD16+) and non-classical (CD14+, CD16high) with distinct functional properties.

Ann Clin Transl Neurol 2021 Mar 1. Epub 2021 Mar 1.

Department of Neurology with Institute of Translational Neurology, University Hospital Münster, Münster, 48149, Germany.

We determined activation profiles of the classical and alternative complement pathway in 39 treatment-naïve patients with early relapse-onset MS. Plasma concentrations of complement fragments were unchanged in MS compared to 32 patients with non-inflammatory neurological diseases. Profiles in patients experiencing clinical exacerbations did not differ from patients with stable disease and did not correlate with baseline EDSS, numbers of T2 lesions and time to second relapse.
