Abstract

Humoral and cellular responses are critical in understanding immune responses to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccination. Here, we evaluated these responses in hemodialysis (HD) patients after the booster vaccination. SARS-CoV-2 immunoglobulin (IgG) levels, neutralizing antibody titers, and the T-SPOT®.COVID test (T-SPOT) were measured prior to, three weeks after, and three months after the booster administration. The HD group had significantly higher SARS-CoV-2 IgG levels and neutralizing antibody titers against the original strain at three weeks and three months after the booster vaccination compared to the control group, albeit the HD group had lower SARS-CoV-2 IgG levels and neutralizing antibody titers before the booster administration. Moreover, the HD group had significantly higher T-SPOT levels at all three time points compared to the control group. The HD group also had significantly higher local and systemic adverse reaction rates than the control group. By booster vaccination, HD patients could acquire more effective SARS-CoV-2-specific humoral and cellular immunity than the control group.

Abstract

Background Patients undergoing dialysis are at risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and preferably should undergo HCC surveillance. We investigated the utility of HCC tumor markers for HCC surveillance in patients undergoing dialysis. Methods Three serum markers specific for HCC, namely alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), Lens culinaris agglutinin A-reactive fraction of AFP (AFP-L3) and des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin (DCP), were measured in dialysis patients with and without a diagnosis of HCC (n  = 60 and 507, respectively). The predictive value of each marker and that of a diagnostic score (GALAD score) based on patient age and gender as well as the same three markers were evaluated by receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, as well as sensitivity and specificity. Results AFP, DCP and the GALAD scores showed high predictive values for HCC, with areas under the ROC curve of >0.85. This effectiveness remained when focusing on small HCC (≤3 cm or ≤2 cm) or early-stage HCC (Stage I), as well as after propensity score matching of background characteristics of HCC and non-HCC patients. In particular, DCP and GALAD score had excellent predictive abilities for HCC. Conclusions Measuring serum tumor markers for HCC can serve as a complement to imaging studies in the surveillance of HCC in patients undergoing dialysis, and reduce the likelihood of advanced HCC at detection and diagnosis.

Abstract

Background: Functional capacity (FC) correlates with mortality in various cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to examine whether cardiac pacemaker implantations improve the FC and affect the prognosis. Methods and Results: We prospectively enrolled 621 de novo pacemaker recipients (age 76 ± 9 years, 50.7% male). The FC was assessed by metabolic equivalents (METs) during the implantation and periodically thereafter. The patients were a priori classified into poor FC (<2 METs, n = 40), moderate FC (2 ≤ METs < 4, n = 239), and good FC (≥4 METs, n = 342). Three months after the pacemaker implantation, poor FC or moderate FC patients improved to a good FC by 43%. The distribution of the three FCs remained at those levels until after 1 year of follow‐up (P =.18). During a median follow‐up of 2.4 years, 71 patients (11%) had cardiovascular hospitalizations and 35 (5.6%) all‐cause death. A multivariate Cox analysis revealed that a poor FC at baseline was an independent predictor of both cardiovascular hospitalization (hazard ratio [HR] 2.494, P =.012) and all‐cause death (HR 3.338, P =.016). One year after the pacemaker implantation, the eight who remained with a poor FC had a high mortality rate of 37.5% (P <.01). Conclusion: Approximately half of the poor or moderate FC patients improved to good FC 3 months after the pacemaker implantation. The baseline FC predicted the prognosis, and patients with an improved FC after the pacemaker implantation had a better prognosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

〔目的〕内臓脂肪より分泌されるアディポネクチンは抗動脈硬化作用を有する.透析患者では健常者と比較しアディポネクチンは高値であるが,動脈硬化は進行しており心血管疾患が死因の上位を占める.そこで,透析患者の動脈硬化とアディポネクチンとの関連について検討した.〔方法〕当院で慢性透折中の男性25名,女性24名,年齢54.3±13.8歳,透析歴12.4±9.6年の患者を対象とした.対象者に空腹時採血を施行し,動脈硬化検査として上腕-足首間の脈波速度(baPWV)を測定した.〔結果〕単回帰分析でbaPWVとアディポネクチンは,r=-0.43,p=0.003と有意な負の相関を認めた.ステップワイズ重回帰分析で,baPWVに対する重要な因子はアディポネクチンと年齢であった.アディポネクチン値で3分位し,1年後のbaPWV変化を比較した場合,低値群で有意なbaPWVの上昇を認めた.〔考察〕透析患者のアディポネクチンは高値であるが動脈硬化性疾患による死亡は高く,アディポネクチンが動脈硬化に関与するか不明であった.動脈硬化のマーカーであるbaPWVとアディポネクチンは有意な負の相関があり,アディポネクチン低値の患者では1年後のbaPWVが有意に上昇した.健常者と同様に透析患者でも,アディポネクチンが動脈硬化に関与する重要な因子であることが示された.〔結論〕透析患者においても,アディポネクチンが動脈硬化の進展に影響を与える重要な因子である., Atherosclerosis is a serious complication in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis. The serum levels of adiponectin to the risk of development of arterial sclerosis and its treatment have not yet been fully clarified in hemodialysis patients. The present study was undertaken to examine the relationship between atherosclerosis and the serum levels of adiponectin in hemodialysis patients. The subjects were 25 males and 24 females who had been undergoing chronic hemodialysis at our facility. Simple regression analysis revealed a significantly negative correlation between the brachial ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and the serum adiponectin level (r = -0.43, p = 0.003). Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed the serum adiponectin level and age as major factors determining the baPWV. To analyze the relationship between the serum levels of adiponectin and various parameters of atherosclerosis, the serum adiponectin levels in the patients were divided into tertiles, low group, medium group, and high group. Observation of the changes of the baPWV over one year revealed that the value increased significantly in the low group as compared with that in the patients with values in the high group and medium group. Development of cardiovascular disease was observed only in the patients with serum adiponectin levels in the low group. The results of this study indicate that serum adiponectin are important factors determining the rate of progression of atherosclerosis in chronic hemodialysis patients.
