Correlation between serum thyroid hormone and lipid in patients with chronic kidney disease by HUANG Hai-ming, XIAO Xiao-fen, WANG Xiao-qin

“…Objective To study the changes of serum thyroid hormone(TH) and the underlying effects on lipid in patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD) stage3~5.Methods Serum free triiodothyronine(FT3),free thyroxine(FT4),and sensitive thyroid stimulating hormones(s-TSH) concentrations in 120 patients with CKD stage3~5 in hospital and 50 normal-control subjects were measured by a specific radioimmunoassay.Serum total cholesterol(TO,triglycerides(TG),high density lipoprotein(HDL-C),low density lipoprotein(LDL-C),serum creatinine(SCr),blood urea nitrogen(BUN),uric acid(UA),albumin(Alb) concentrationswere measured by a automatic biochemical analyzer,estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR) were measured by SCr.Results According to the analysis,serum contents of both FT3 and FT4 were significantly lower in patients with CKD stage3~5than in normal controls(P<0.01,P<0.05,respectively),and their s-TSH contents were not different compared with normal controls(P>0.05).CKD patients had significantly higher serum TG,TC and LDL-C contents than normal controls(P<0.01,P<0.01,P<0.05,respectively),but their HDL-C content is not more different than normal controls(P<0.05).Pearson correlation analysis revels negative correlation betweeen FT3 and TG,TC(r=- 0.288,P<0.05;r=- 0.312,P<0.05),but positive correlation between FT3 and HDL-C,Alb,Hb 0=0.356,P<0.01;r = 0.199,P<0.05;r=0.266,P<0.01;r=0.276,P<0.01).Negative correlation betweeen TC,LDL-C and FT4 were found(r=-0.199,P<0.01;r=- 0.297,P<0.05),and positive correlation between FT4 and eGFR,Alb,Hb(r=0.405,P<0.01;r=0.237,P<0.01;r=0.24,P<0.01),but there is no evidence correlaiton between FT4 and TG,HDL-C,eGFR,TG,TC,HDL-C,LDL-C are not correlated with s-TSH,except Alb.The results of regressive analysis showed that the independent risk factor of hyperlipidemia was eGFR and FT3,that TC was negatively related to eGFR(P<0.01).Conclusions It is very common in middle and advanced stage CKD patients with thyroid dysfunction,which mailnly presents low T3 syndrome and closely related to severity of renal damage.Hyperlipidemia is very common in CKD patients.The risk factors are complicated,which eGFR and FT3 are independent causes of dyslipidemia in CKD patients.…”

Use ATCCfinder to identify commercially available American Type Culture Collection strains based on sequence queries by Samuel I. Koehler, Earl A. Middlebrook, Blake T. Hovde, Erik R. Hanschen

“…The American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) is an organization selling a wide variety of microbes, uniquely providing strain-level taxonomy classification and associated sequenced reference genomes for over four thousand isolates, with more being added regularly. As researchers purchase and sequence isolates from ATCC, many sequences derived from ATCC isolates are deposited on public databases such as NCBI-Genome. …”

B-NER: A Novel Bangla Named Entity Recognition Dataset With Largest Entities and Its Baseline Evaluation by Md. Zahidul Haque, Sakib Zaman, Jillur Rahman Saurav, Summit Haque, Md. Saiful Islam, Mohammad Ruhul Amin

“…In this paper, we provide an outline of the annotation guideline illustrated with examples, discuss the B-NER dataset properties, and present benchmark evaluations of the dataset. To establish that B-NER is more comprehensive and balanced in comparison to other publicly accessible datasets, we conducted cross-dataset modeling and validation, i.e. trained NER model on one dataset while tested on another, and found that the model trained on B-NER performed the best in that settings. …”

The ³¹P Spectral Modulus (PSM) as an Assay of Metabolic Status by Jack V. Greiner, Tamara I. Snogren, Thomas Glonek

“…High-energy phosphates are typically described as providing the energy necessary for the activity of cellular metabolism; chemically, they contain one or more phosphate anhydride bonds. This study demonstrates that, (1) in general, the higher the metabolic activity, the higher the PSM, and (2) the modulus calculation does not require a highly resolved ³¹P spectrum and can be calculated solely from the integral. …”

“…There is a common gap for several years between the onset of the disease and clinical diagnosis, since erroneous diagnosis is often made due to non-specific clinical symptoms that resemble other, more frequent diseases. The prognosis of patients with CVID depends on several factors: frequency of infections, structural disorders in the lungs, the occurrence of autoimmune diseases and the success of infection prevention. …”
