Abstract

Summary The purpose of this study was to determine whether a difference in roughage intake could affect electrolyte and water balance in horses during endurance type exercise. In each of 2 experiments, 2 treatments (a high hay or limited hay diet) were assigned in a crossover design so that each horse performed 2 exercise tests, 1 on each treatment. In experiment 1, diet was controlled only the night before the exercise test. Water intake was lower (P 0.05). Weight loss was 2.8% of body weight for both treatments. In experiment 2, horses were adapted to the diets for 7 days prior to the exercise test. Again, water intake was lower when the horses received the limited hay diet (P 0.05). Plasma chloride concentration decreased during exercise (P

Abstract

The objective of this study was to compare self-reported measures of diabetes care with measures derived from medical records in a well-defined population. Diabetes measures were collected through a 1997 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System telephone survey of American Indians living on or near 7 Montana reservations (N = 398) and were compared with data collected from charts of a systematic sample of American Indians with diabetes seen in 1997 at Indian Health Service (IHS) facilities. Survey respondents were more likely to report a duration of diabetes > or = 10 years (44 vs 31%), annual dilated retinal exam (75 vs 59%), and an influenza immunization in the past year (73 vs 57%) compared with estimates from the chart audit. Estimates of pneumococcal immunization (88 vs 42%), annual cholesterol screening (86 vs 69%), and overweight, based on body mass index (67 vs 50%), were significantly higher from the chart audit. No significant differences were found between the survey respondents and the chart audit data for annual foot exams (65 vs 61%), annual blood pressure checks (98 vs 93%), high cholesterol (35 vs 41%), and high blood pressure (54 vs 64%). These findings suggest that self-reported data may over and underestimate specific measures of diabetes care.

Abstract

To identify factors associated with best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) presentation and 2-year outcome in 479 intermediate, posterior, and panuveitic eyes.Cohort study using randomized controlled trial data.Multicenter Uveitis Steroid Treatment (MUST) Trial masked BCVA measurements at baseline and at 2 years follow-up used gold-standard methods. Twenty-three clinical centers documented characteristics per protocol, which were evaluated as potential predictive factors for baseline BCVA and 2-year change in BCVA.Baseline factors significantly associated with reduced BCVA included age ≥50 vs50 years; posterior vs intermediate uveitis; uveitis duration10 vs6 years; anterior chamber (AC) flaregrade 0; cataract; macular thickening; and exudative retinal detachment. Over 2 years, eyes better than 20/50 and 20/50 or worse at baseline improved, on average, by 1 letter (P = .52) and 10 letters (P.001), respectively. Both treatment groups and all sites of uveitis improved similarly. Factors associated with improved BCVA included resolution of active AC cells, resolution of macular thickening, and cataract surgery in an initially cataractous eye. Factors associated with worsening BCVA included longer duration of uveitis (6-10 or10 vs6 years), incident AC flare, cataract at both baseline and follow-up, pseudophakia at baseline, persistence or incidence of vitreous haze, and incidence of macular thickening.Intermediate, posterior, and panuveitis have a similarly favorable prognosis with both systemic and fluocinolone acetonide implant treatment. Eyes with more prolonged/severe inflammatory damage and/or inflammatory findings initially or during follow-up have a worse visual acuity prognosis. The results indicate the value of implementing best practices in managing inflammation.

Abstract

Xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) in human mammary epithelial cells was shown to have low true specific activity, similar to that in breast milk. Enzymic activity was increased in response to inflammatory cytokines; increases of 2-2.5-fold being seen with TNF-alpha and IL-1beta and of approximately 8-fold with IFN-gamma. No significant increase was seen with IL-6. A combination of IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha, or of these two cytokines plus IL-1beta, led to responses representing the sum of those obtained by using the individual cytokines. The 8-fold increase in enzymic activity, stimulated by IFN-gamma, corresponded to only a 2-3-fold increase in specific mRNA, suggesting the possibility of post-translational activation; a possibility strongly supported by the corresponding 2-3-fold rise in XOR protein, as determined by ELISA. In no case was cytokine-induced activation accompanied by changes in the oxidase-dehydrogenase ratio of XOR. These data strongly support a role for XOR in the inflammatory response of the human mammary epithelial cell, and provide further evidence of post-translational activation of a low activity form of human XOR, similar to that previously observed in vivo for the breast milk enzyme.
