Iodine is an essential component of thyroid hormones; either low or high intake may lead to disease. We observed increase in the prevalence overt hypothyroidism, subclinical and autoimmune thyroiditis with increasing iodine China cohorts from three regions different levels intake: mildly deficient (median urinary excretion, 84 microg per liter), more than adequate (median, 243 excessive 651 liter). Participants enrolled a baseline study 1999, during five-year follow-up through 2004, we...
Summary Objective The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether status iodine nutrition influences TSH concentration in a selected Chinese reference population according criteria proposed by National Academy Clinical Biochemistry (NACB) and regular thyroid ultrasonography, establish new interval based on wide variation populations, identify an optimal following up cohort with normal concentrations at baseline. Design conducted Panshan, Zhangwu Huanghua, regions mildly deficient, more...
Iodine deficiency during pregnancy and lactation may adversely affect fetal infant development. Two initiatives were introduced in New Zealand to prevent deficiency: (1) mandatory fortification of bread with iodised salt; (2) provision a subsidised iodine supplement (150 μg) for all pregnant breastfeeding women. The aim this study was assess intake status among self-selecting sample lactating women Palmerston North, both before after the two initiatives. Pregnant recruited (n = 25 32; 2009)...
Background/Objectives: Optimal nutrition is essential for the health of breastfeeding women and their infants. This study aimed to assess food nutrient intake alignment with guidelines living in New Zealand. Methods: Seventy-six were enrolled longitudinal Mother Infant Nutrition Investigation completed a weighed four-day diet diary including supplement use at three months postpartum. The number servings consumed each group calculated based on 2020 Eating Activity Guidelines Zealand Adults....
Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) add a new dimension to HD forecast, diagnosis, and therapy based on the potential applications. The miRNA-related research in heart disease (HD) field has received close attention past two decades. However, there is lack of studies that comprehensively objectively analyze current situation miRNA application using bibliometrics method. Objective To global scientific outputs miRNAs from 2004 2023. Methods All articles reviews were retrieved Web Science core...
Heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in the tumour necrosis factor alpha induced protein 3 (TNFAIP3) gene cause an early-onset auto-inflammatory disease named haploinsufficiency of A20 (HA20). Here we describe three unrelated patients with autoimmune lupus nephritis (LN) phenotypes carrying novel TNFAIP3 gene. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was used to identify causative biopsy-proven LN patients. Sanger and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) were validate identified by WES. RNA...
Lupus nephritis is a rare immunological disorder. Genetic factors are considered important in its causation. We aim to systematically investigate the pathogenic gene variants patients with lupus nephritis.
Selenium plays a role in antioxidant status and, together with iodine, thyroid function. Iodine deficiency exists New Zealand during pregnancy and lactation, selenium may further affect This study investigated intakes of pregnant lactating women, Palmerston North, the North Island Zealand. Dietary intake was estimated using three repeated 24-h dietary recalls. also from urinary excretion selenium. concentrations were determined urine breastmilk inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry....
Abstract Identification of long‐term calcium channel blocker (CCB) responders with acute vasodilator challenge is critical in the evaluation patients pulmonary arterial hypertension. Currently there no standardized approach for use supplemental oxygen during challenge. In this retrospective analysis identified as vasoresponders, treated CCBs, all had hemodynamic measurements three steps: (1) at baseline; (2) 100% fractional inspired oxygen; and (3) plus inhaled nitric oxide (iNO). Those...
Abstract To alleviate the re-emergence of iodine deficiency in New Zealand, two strategies, mandatory fortification bread with iodised salt (2009) and a government-subsidised supplement for breast-feeding women (2010), were introduced. Few studies have investigated mother infant status during first postpartum year; this study aimed to describe mothers infants at 3, 6 12 months (3MPP, 6MPP 12MPP, respectively). Partitioning excretion between urine breast milk exclusive (EBF) 3MPP was...
Abstract Background Imbalance in l -arginine and nitric oxide (NO) metabolism has been implicated the pathophysiology of asthma obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), both diseases impact other’s morbidity. We sought to determine whether -arginine/NO differs between adults with or without comorbid OSA, its association Methods This is a cross-sectional study 322 recruited Denver, CO New York City, NY. Data were collected on OSA status, spirometry, metrics control -Arginine metabolites quantified...
Background The L-arginine metabolome is dysregulated in asthma, though it not understood how longitudinal changes metabolism differ among asthma phenotypes and relate to disease outcomes. Objectives To determine the associations between phenotypic characteristics with metabolites their relationships morbidity. Methods This a prospective cohort study of 321 patients followed semiannually for over 18 months assessments plasma metabolites, control, spirometry, quality life exacerbations....
Online self-testing as part of the online learning environment (OLE) provides practice questions on key concepts with immediate feedback – in a 'no-risk' environment. OLE activity was analysed for 471 on-site and distance students enrolled health science courses to determine total usage self-tests. The study also aimed whether utilisation self-tests differed by final grade, particularly between who just pass (C grades Restricted pass) those fail (D E grades). Results indicated that were...
Abstract Vitamin D measurements in biological fluids by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) have been widely used but remain challenging at very low concentration levels. Rapid, high recovery, sensitive and reliable of vitamin D, as well its primary metabolites using LC–MS/MS are urgently needed for a routine clinical laboratory. Herein, we reported novel electrospray method determining the supported extraction to achieve higher recoveries, with optimized pH values...
