Abstract

Background: Because frailty is a complex phenomenon associated with poor outcomes, the identification of patient profiles with different care needs might be of greater practical help than to look for a unifying definition. This study aimed at identifying aging phenotypes and their related outcomes in order to recognize frailty in hospitalized older patients. Methods: Patients aged 65 or older enrolled in internal medicine and geriatric wards participating in the REPOSI registry. Relationships among variables associated to sociodemographic, physical, cognitive, functional, and medical status were explored using a multiple correspondence analysis. The hierarchical cluster analysis was then performed to identify possible patient profiles. Multivariable logistic regression was used to verify the association between clusters and outcomes (in-hospital mortality and 3-month postdischarge mortality and rehospitalization). Results: 2,841 patients were included in the statistical analyses. Four clusters were identified: the healthiest (I); those with multimorbidity (II); the functionally independent women with osteoporosis and arthritis (III); and the functionally dependent oldest old patients with cognitive impairment (IV). There was a significantly higher in-hospital mortality in Cluster II (odds ratio [OR] = 2.27, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.15-4.46) and Cluster IV (OR = 5.15, 95% CI = 2.58-10.26) and a higher 3-month mortality in Cluster II (OR = 1.66, 95% CI = 1.13-2.44) and Cluster IV (OR = 1.86, 95% CI = 1.15-3.00) than in Cluster I. Conclusions: Using alternative analytical techniques among hospitalized older patients, we could distinguish different frailty phenotypes, differently associated with adverse events. The identification of different patient profiles can help defining the best care strategy according to specific patient needs.

Abstract

Background: Because frailty is a complex phenomenon associated with poor outcomes, the identification of patient profiles with different care needs might be of greater practical help than to look for a unifying definition. This study aimed at identifying aging phenotypes and their related outcomes in order to recognize frailty in hospitalized older patients. Methods: Patients aged 65 or older enrolled in internal medicine and geriatric wards participating in the REPOSI registry. Relationships among variables associated to sociodemographic, physical, cognitive, functional, and medical status were explored using a multiple correspondence analysis. The hierarchical cluster analysis was then performed to identify possible patient profiles. Multivariable logistic regression was used to verify the association between clusters and outcomes (in-hospital mortality and 3-month postdischarge mortality and rehospitalization). Results: 2,841 patients were included in the statistical analyses. Four clusters were identified: the healthiest (I); those with multimorbidity (II); the functionally independent women with osteoporosis and arthritis (III); and the functionally dependent oldest old patients with cognitive impairment (IV). There was a significantly higher in-hospital mortality in Cluster II (odds ratio [OR] = 2.27, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.15-4.46) and Cluster IV (OR = 5.15, 95% CI = 2.58-10.26) and a higher 3-month mortality in Cluster II (OR = 1.66, 95% CI = 1.13-2.44) and Cluster IV (OR = 1.86, 95% CI = 1.15-3.00) than in Cluster I. Conclusions: Using alternative analytical techniques among hospitalized older patients, we could distinguish different frailty phenotypes, differently associated with adverse events. The identification of different patient profiles can help defining the best care strategy according to specific patient needs.

Background: Because frailty is a complex phenomenon associated with poor outcomes, the identification of patient profiles with different care needs might be of greater practical help than to look for a unifying definition. This study aimed at identifying aging phenotypes and their related outcomes in order to recognize frailty in hospitalized older patients. Methods: Patients aged 65 or older enrolled in internal medicine and geriatric wards participating in the REPOSI registry. Relationships among variables associated to sociodemographic, physical, cognitive, functional, and medical status were explored using a multiple correspondence analysis. The hierarchical cluster analysis was then performed to identify possible patient profiles. Multivariable logistic regression was used to verify the association between clusters and outcomes (in-hospital mortality and 3-month postdischarge mortality and rehospitalization). Results: 2,841 patients were included in the statistical analyses. Four clusters were identified: the healthiest (I), those with multimorbidity (II), the functionally independent women with osteoporosis and arthritis (III), and the functionally dependent oldest old patients with cognitive impairment (IV). There was a significantly higher in-hospital mortality in Cluster II (odds ratio [OR] = 2.27, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.15-4.46) and Cluster IV (OR = 5.15, 95% CI = 2.58-10.26) and a higher 3-month mortality in Cluster II (OR = 1.66, 95% CI = 1.13-2.44) and Cluster IV (OR = 1.86, 95% CI = 1.15-3.00) than in Cluster I.

Abstract

VIP and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) are two regulatory peptides that possess remarkable amino acid sequence homology and act through common receptors, named PAC(1), VPAC(1), and VPAC(2). PAC(1) receptor is selective for PACAP, whereas VPAC(1) and VPAC(2) receptors bind both VIP and PACAP. We have investigated the expression and function of VIP, PACAP, and their receptors in the zona glomerulosa (ZG), zonae fasciculata and reticularis, and adrenal medulla (AM) of the human adrenal cortex. RT-PCR and RIA detected VIP and PACAP expression exclusively in AM cells. RT-PCR demonstrated the presence of PAC(1) mRNA only in AM and of VPAC(1) and VPAC(2) mRNAs in both ZG and AM cells. VIP and PACAP concentration-dependently increased aldosterone and catecholamine secretion from cultured ZG and AM cells. The catecholamine response to both peptides was higher than the aldosterone response, and the secretagogue action of PACAP was more intense than that of VIP. The aldosterone response of cultured ZG cells to VIP or PACAP was unaffected by the PAC(1) receptor antagonist PACAP-(6-38) (PAC(1)-A), but was significantly decreased by the VPAC(1) receptor antagonist [Ac-His(1),D-Phe(2),Lys(15),Arg(16)]VIP-(3-7),GH-releasing factor-(8-27)-NH(2) (VPAC(1)-A). The catecholamine response of cultured AM cells to VIP was lowered by VPAC(1)-A and unaffected by PAC(1)-A; conversely, the catecholamine response to PACAP was reduced by both PAC(1)-A and VPAC(1)-A. Simultaneous exposure to both antagonists did not abolish the catecholamine response to PACAP. Collectively, our findings allow us to conclude that in human adrenals 1) VIP and PACAP biosynthesis exclusively occurs in AM cells; 2) ZG cells are provided with functional VPAC(1) and VPAC(2) receptors, whose activation by VIP or PACAP elicits a moderate aldosterone response; 3) AM cells possess PAC(1), VPAC(1), and VPAC(2) receptors, whose activation evokes a marked catecholamine response; and 4) the catecholamine response to PACAP is more intense than that to VIP, because it is mediated by all subtypes of VIP/PACAP receptors.

Abstract

Moderate alcohol (ETOH) intake has been associated with a significant reduction in risk for infarction among general populations. In this study, we assessed the effects of low-dose ETOH (40 g over 3-h period as vodka) on the interaction between glucose (G), insulin, and lactate (L) during the insulin-modified frequently sampled i.v. glucose tolerance test (FSIGT) (0.3 U/kg body weight between 20-25 min) in eight normal volunteers. In the control (C) study, water was administered. An insulin-independent two-compartment model was used to describe G and L kinetics. Insulin sensitivity (S(I)) was significantly higher in the ETOH study than in the C study (2.49 +/- 0.52 vs. 0.92 +/- 0.20 10(-4) min(-1)microU(-1)ml, C vs. ETOH; P = 0.0391). No significant differences were observed in G effectiveness (0.029 +/- 0.004 vs. 0.033 +/- 0.004 min(-1)). Blood L levels were higher during FSIGT when ETOH was administered [area under the curve (AUC), 201 plus minus 16 vs. 123 +/- 23 mmol/liter in 240 min; P = 0.0001]. The dynamic analysis of blood L concentrations showed that ETOH also significantly decreased L clearance (0.0016 +/- 0.0011 vs. 0.0029 +/- 0.0002 min(-1); P = 0.0156), whereas no difference was observed for the fractional conversion of the rate of G disappearance to L (0.0033 +/- 0.0012 vs. 0.0031 +/- 0.0005 min(-1)). ETOH decreased baseline plasma FFA concentration; AUC of FFA was markedly reduced with ETOH (65 +/- 14 vs. 109 plus minus 17 mmol/liter in 240 min; P = 0.0063) and inversely correlated with S(I) (r = 0.693; P = 0.0029). The amount of C-peptide in 240 min as well as the amounts before and after insulin administration were not different between the two tests. We concluded that G and L kinetics derived from FSIGT shows that moderate ETOH intake: 1) improves insulin action; 2) decreases L clearance; and 3) does not affect beta cell function. Because ETOH at moderate doses has a marked antilipolytic action, it might improve insulin action by improving substrate competition. The present findings suggest that moderate alcohol consumption in the diet should not be discouraged.

Abstract

Orexins A and B are hypothalamic peptides, that act through two receptor subtypes, called OX1-R and OX2-R. OX1-R selectively binds orexin A, whereas OX2-R is nonselective for both orexins. High levels of OX1-R mRNA and low levels of OX2-R mRNA have been previously detected in the human adrenal cortex and medulla. Here we demonstrated by RT-PCR the expression of the OX2-R, but not the OX1-R, gene in 10 benign secreting pheochromocytomas. Both orexins A and B stimulated catecholamine secretion from pheochromocytoma slices; the maximal effective concentration was 10(-8) mol/liter. Orexins A and B (10(-8) mol/liter) increased IP3, but not cAMP production, by tumor slices, and the effect was blocked by the PLC inhibitor U-73122. The catecholamine response to 10(-8) mol/liter orexins A and B was abolished by either U-73122 or the PKC antagonist calphostin C and was unaffected by the adenylate cyclase inhibitor SQ-22536 and the PKA inhibitor H-89. Collectively, these findings suggest that orexins stimulate catecholamine secretion from human pheochromocytomas, acting through OX2-R coupled to the PLC-PKC signaling pathway.

Abstract

Cholecystokinin is a regulatory peptide, that acts through two subtypes of receptors, 1 and 2. RT-PCR demonstrated the expression of both cholecystokinin receptors 1 and 2 genes in the zona glomerulosa, but not the zona fasciculata-reticularis, of rat adrenals. Autoradiography demonstrated the presence of abundant [(125)I]cholecystokinin-binding sites in the zona glomerulosa, but not the zona fasciculata-reticularis, which were displaced by both cholecystokinin receptor 1- and 2-selective antagonists (cholecystokinin 1-A and 2-A). Cholecystokinin increased basal aldosterone secretion from dispersed zona glomerulosa cells without affecting corticosterone secretion from zona fasciculata-reticularis cells. The aldosterone response to cholecystokinin was blunted by cholecystokinin 1-A and 2-A, which when added together abolished it. ACTH-stimulated aldosterone production was not affected by cholecystokinin; in contrast, cholecystokinin potentiated aldosterone response to both angiotensin II and K(+). Cholecystokinin enhanced cAMP, but not IP(3), release by dispersed zona glomerulosa cells. The aldosterone response to cholecystokinin was abolished by the adenylate cyclase inhibitor SQ-22536 and the PKA inhibitor H-89, but not by either the PLC inhibitor U-73122 or the PKC inhibitor calphostin C. In conclusion, our study provides evidence that cholecystokinin, acting through cholecystokinin receptors 1 and 2 coupled with the adenylate cyclase/PKA cascade, exerts a sizeable secretagogue action on rat zona glomerulosa cells.

Abstract

Orexins A and B are two hypothalamic peptides that increase food intake and body weight and probably play a role in the sleep regulation. They act through two subtypes of G protein-coupled receptors, called OX1-R and OX2-R. OX1-R selectively binds orexin-A, whereas OX2-R is nonselective for both orexins. Orexins did not affect the in vitro secretion of either catecholamine or aldosterone from human adrenals. Conversely, orexin A, but not orexin B, concentration dependently increased basal cortisol secretion from dispersed adrenocortical cells; the maximal effective concentration was 10(-8) mol/L. Orexin A (10(-8) mol/L) enhanced the cortisol response to maximal effective concentrations (10(-9) mol/L) of angiotensin II and endothelin-1, but only to low concentrations of ACTH (10(-12)/10(-11) mol/L). Orexin A (10(-8) mol/L) increased basal cAMP release by dispersed adrenocortical cells, and the effect was blocked by the adenylate cyclase inhibitor SQ-22536. The cortisol response to 10(-8) mol/L orexin A was unaffected by the ACTH receptor antagonist corticotropin-inhibiting peptide, but was abolished by either SQ-22536 or the protein kinase A inhibitor H-89. RT-PCR demonstrated high levels of OX1-R messenger ribonucleic acid and very low levels of OX2-R messenger ribonucleic acid in human adrenal zona fasciculata-reticularis and adrenal medulla. Collectively, our findings suggest that orexins selectively stimulate glucocorticoid secretion from human adrenocortical cells, acting through OX1-R coupled with the adenylate cyclase-dependent signaling pathway.

Abstract

Cerebellin is a 16-amino acid peptide, originally isolated from rat cerebellum, whose presence has been recently demonstrated in the human adrenal glands and especially in medullary chromaffin cells. Cerebellin concentration dependently increased basal catecholamine (norepinephrine and epinephrine) release by human adrenal slices, containing medullary chromaffin tissue, minimal and maximal effective concentrations being 10(-9) and 10(-7) mol/L. Cerebellin (10(-7) mol/L) markedly enhanced cAMP release by adrenal slices, and the protein kinase A inhibitor H-89 (10(-5) mol/L) blocked catecholamine response to cerebellin. Cerebellin did not affect basal steroid secretion of dispersed human adrenocortical cells, but it concentration dependently increased aldosterone and cortisol production by adrenal slices. Again minimal and maximal effective concentrations were 10(-9) and 10(-7) mol/L. Aldosterone and cortisol responses to 10(-7) mol/L cerebellin was suppressed by both the beta-adrenoceptor antagonist l-alprenolol (10(-6) mol/L) and H-89 (10(-5) mol/L). Collectively, the present findings allow us to conclude that 1) cerebellin exerts a sizable secretagogue action on both cortex and medulla of human adrenals; 2) the peptide directly stimulates catecholamine release via the adenylate cyclase/protein kinase A-dependent signaling pathway; and 3) the mechanism underlying the adrenocortical stimulatory effect of cerebellin is indirect and probably involves the release of catecholamines, which in turn, acting in a paracrine manner, enhance steroid-hormone secretion.
