Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a common disorder characterized by muscle pain if myofascial trigger points (MTrP) are stimulated. This study evaluated the effectiveness of far-infrared ray (FIR) patches in reducing the severity of pain in patients with MPS.A double-blind, randomized controlled study involving 125 patients with MPS and 201 MTrPs located in the trapezius muscle. A FIR patch was applied to 98 MTrPs for 24h in the intervention group (61 patients) and a placebo patch was applied to 91 MTrPs in the control group (57 patients) at the end. Pain intensity was measured using the visual analogue scale (V) while pressure pain threshold (P) and maximal pain tolerance (T) were measured using an algometer before and after treatment.The mean age of the patients was 37.16 years old and 67% were female. There was a positive correlation between P and T (p0.001). Older Age was associated with higher P and T due to poor skin sensitivity (p0.001). V improved significantly in both groups to a similar extent, but only in the intervention group, P and T decreased significantly (which implied better skin sensitivity) (p0.05). P and T decreased the most in the female group aged over 35, probably due to thinner skin in this subgroup.FIR and placebo patches were equally effective at relieving pain (with decreased V), but P and T dropped only in the intervention group with FIR patches. This probably resulted from FIR penetrated only to the skin layer and improved skin sensitivity with more blood circulation, but the muscle remained unaffected. Further studies should investigate the effect of longer exposure or higher energy applications.

Background The comorbidity profile, especially cancer risk, of narcoleptic patients has seldom been explored. We used a nationwide database to evaluate the risk of cancer among adult narcoleptic patients. Methods We conducted the cohort study using National Health Insurance Research Database from 2000 to 2009. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) of cancers were calculated to compare the cancer incidence of the study cohort with that of the general population. Results 2833 narcoleptic patients were identified after excluding patients with antecedent malignancy and age younger than 18 years old. The study cohort was observed for 15,913 person-years during a 10-year period. The median follow-up interval was 5.6 ± 3.0 years. Seventy-four cancers occurred in during the follow-up. The risk of all cancers was found significantly increased in adult narcoleptic patients (SIR 1.32; 95% CI, 1.04–1.66, p = 0.0248). Regarding sex, the overall cancer risk was increased in female patients (SIR 1.52; 95% CI, 1.05–2.13, p = 0.026). Furthermore, females were found to have more head and neck cancers (SIR 6.17; 95% CI, 1.66-15.80, p = 0.009) and gastric cancers (SIR 4.87; 95% CI, 1.31–12.48, p = 0.02). For males, the incidence of overall and specific cancer types was not significantly increased. Conclusions Adult narcoleptic patients had a higher risk for cancer. Further research is warranted to elucidate the mechanism underlying its association.

Objective Acute kidney injury is a common and serious problem after cardiac surgery. Postoperative acute kidney injury is independently associated with in-hospital mortality and long-term morbidity, even after adjustment for comorbid diseases. Chronic kidney disease has been recognized as a strong risk factor of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery. The association between proteinuria and postcardiotomy acute kidney injury in patients with preserved glomerular filtration rate remains uncertain. Methods Patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate greater than 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 who underwent cardiac surgery between January 2003 and December 2007 in a tertiary medical center were retrospectively analyzed. Dipstick urinalysis was performed before surgery. Proteinuria was categorized into negative, trace, 1+, 2+, or 3+. Postoperative acute kidney injury was defined by the Acute Kidney Injury Network criteria. Multinomial logistic regression was used to clarify whether proteinuria is an independent risk factor of postoperative acute kidney injury. Results A total of 1246 patients were included in this study, with a mean estimated glomerular filtration rate of 80 ± 13 mL/min/1.73 m 2 . Proteinuria was present in 290 patients (23.4%). Postoperative acute kidney injury developed in 434 patients (34.8%), and 36 patients (2.9%) required renal replacement therapy. Proteinuria was independently associated with all stages of postcardiotomy acute kidney injury and dialysis-requiring acute kidney injury. The crude risk of acute kidney injury was greater in patients with a higher grade of proteinuria. In subgroup analysis for gender, diabetes, and surgical type, preoperative proteinuria remains a strong risk factor of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery. Conclusions Urine analysis is usually neglected before cardiac surgery despite the fact that proteinuria is the earliest manifestation of kidney dysfunction. In the current study, we show that urine protein is strongly and independently associated with postoperative acute kidney injury in subjects with preserved estimated glomerular filtration rate. These data suggest that such a relatively simple and clinically easy to use tool as a urinary dipstick may be useful to identify patients at high risk of acute kidney injury before cardiac surgery.

Summary Objective The potential association between healthcare workers (HCWs) and the risk of clinically active tuberculosis (TB) in countries with intermediate TB burdens remains unclear. Methods A nationwide, population-based cohort study was performed by using Taiwan National Health Insurance Database during 2000–2010. We included HCWs and non-HCWs without history of tuberculosis matched at a 1:1 ratio according to age, sex, monthly income, underlying comorbidities, and concomitant medications. All subjects were followed from the date of enrollment until TB occurrence, death, or 31 December 2010. Results The study population comprised 11,811 healthcare workers and 11,811 matched subjects. 62 HCWs and 38 control subjects developed TB during a median follow-up period of 9.4 years. The incidence of TB was higher among HCWs than among matched subjects (61.08 vs . 37.81 per 100,000 person-years). The risk of TB was also greater among HCWs (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.62; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.08–2.43), particularly for pulmonary TB in comparison with extrapulmonary TB (aHR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.02–2.39). Among different job categories of HCWs, we found that only nurses had a significantly increased risk of developing TB (aHR, 2.55; 95% CI, 1.37–4.72) compared to the matched cohort. Conclusions HCWs are associated independently with a higher risk of developing TB in this intermediate-burden country. Therefore, the importance of TB surveillance among HCWs should be emphasized.

Diabetic nephropathy is characterized by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix protein and disruption of the glomerular filtration barrier. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) affect the breakdown and turnover of extracellular matrix protein, suggesting that altered expression of MMPs may contribute to diabetic nephropathy. Here we used an MMP-9 gene knockout mouse model, with in vitro experiments and clinical samples, to determine the possible role of MMP-9 in diabetic nephropathy. After 6 months of streptozotocin-induced diabetes, mice developed markedly increased albuminuria, glomerular and kidney hypertrophy, and thickening of the glomerular basement membrane. Gelatin zymographic analysis and western blotting showed that there was enhanced MMP-9 protein production and activity in the glomeruli. However, MMP-9 knockout in diabetic mice significantly attenuated these nephropathy changes. In cultured podocytes, various cytokines related to diabetic nephropathy including TGF-β1, TNF-α, and VEGF stimulated MMP-9 secretion. Overexpression of endogenous MMP-9 induced podocyte dedifferentiation. MMP-9 also interrupted podocyte cell integrity, promoted podocyte monolayer permeability to albumin, and extracellular matrix protein synthesis. In diabetic patients, the upregulation of urinary MMP-9 concentrations occurred earlier than the onset of microalbuminuria. Thus, MMP-9 seems to play a role in the development of diabetic nephropathy.Kidney International advance online publication, 26 March 2014; doi:10.1038/ki.2014.67.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the risks of acute cholecystitis among end-stage renal disease patients and compare the incidence between two dialysis modality.In this retrospective cohort study, records of fifty thousand end-stage renal disease patients older than 20 years of age from 1998 to 2007 and an age, gender, Charlson's score, diabetes, and dyslipidemia matched control cohort were retrieved from Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. Hospitalizations for acute cholecystitis were retrieved using ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes and ICD-9-CM operation codes from in-patient claims.The incidence rates were 5.8 per 1000 patient-years in the end-stage renal disease patients and 0.92 per 1000 patient-years in the control group. End-stage renal disease was an independent risk factor for acute cholecystitis. In the end-stage renal disease patients, independent risk factors were old age, higher Charlson's score, diabetes, severe liver disease, atrial fibrillation, and haemodialysis (all p0.05). However, the peritoneal dialysis patients had a higher mortality rate after developing acute cholecystitis.Acute cholecystitis is not uncommon in end-stage renal disease patients. The independent risk factors were older age, higher Charlson's score, atrial fibrillation, severe liver disease, diabetes, and dialysis modality. Haemodialysis patients had a higher risk of acute cholecystitis than PD patients.

Background The major gene mutated in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease was first identified over 20 years ago, yet its function remains poorly understood. We have used a systems-based approach to examine the effects of acquired loss of Pkd1 in adult mouse kidney as it transitions from normal to cystic state. Methods We performed transcriptional profiling of a large set of male and female kidneys, along with metabolomics and lipidomics analyses of a subset of male kidneys. We also assessed the effects of a modest diet change on cyst progression in young cystic mice. Fatty acid oxidation and glycolytic rates were measured in five control and mutant pairs of epithelial cells. Results We find that females have a significantly less severe kidney phenotype and correlate this protection with differences in lipid metabolism. We show that sex is a major determinant of the transcriptional profile of mouse kidneys and that some of this difference is due to genes involved in lipid metabolism. Pkd1 mutant mice have transcriptional profiles consistent with changes in lipid metabolism and distinct metabolite and complex lipid profiles in kidneys. We also show that cells lacking Pkd1 have an intrinsic fatty acid oxidation defect and that manipulation of lipid content of mouse chow modifies cystic disease. Interpretation Our results suggest PKD could be a disease of altered cellular metabolism., Highlights • Adult female mice have slower kidney disease progression than males in an orthologous Pkd1 model of ADPKD. • Omics and in vitro studies suggest Pkd1 deletion causes cell autonomous metabolic changes and fatty acid oxidation impairment. • Transcriptional sexual dimorphism in mouse kidneys is consistent with lipid metabolism modifying PKD progression in females. • Lower lipid content in diet correlates with slower PKD progression. Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is caused by mutations in PKD1 or PKD2 and characterized by the replacement of kidney parenchyma by cysts. Recent studies have identified metabolic differences and increased glycolysis in ADPKD. We now examine the effects of acquired loss of Pkd1 in adult mouse kidney as it transitions from normal to cystic state. We report females have less severe kidney disease and suggest metabolic differences could underlie this protection. Notably, we did not find altered glycolysis, but rather that Pkd1- cells have impaired fatty acid oxidation. We also showed that reducing the fat content in mouse diet correlated with less severe cystic kidney disease. Our results thus support the notion that abnormalities in lipid metabolism are an intrinsic component of ADPKD.

A 54-year-old man developed a progressively enlarging painless mass on both forearms with limited range of flexion following 8 years of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (Figure 1, A.). Computed tomography showed amorphous, cystic, and multilobulated calcification at the medial aspect of his elbow joints, about 6 × 4 × 9 cm in size (Figure 1, B). His serum calcium, phosphate, and intact parathyroid hormone levels were 10.5 mg/dL, 6.0 mg/dL, and 1257 pg/mL, respectively. A sonogram disclosed evidence of 4 heterogeneous hypoechoic nodules ranging from 0.7 to 2.2 cm in the bilateral retrothyroid gland region. Conservative therapy with dietary phosphate restriction, noncalcemic phosphate binders, and vitamin D did not alleviate its progression. With a diagnosis of tertiary hyperparathyroidism with tumoral calcinosis, the patient underwent parathyroidectomy, and the calcified mass disappeared within 2 months (Figure 2).
