Fructose intake from added sugars has increased dramatically over the last century and has recently been implicated as potential contributor to metabolic syndrome, obesity, hypertension, inflammation and kidney disease. Fructose differs from the other sugars because, uric acid is generated during its metabolism. Serum uric acid levels have been found to correlate with the intake of fructose and added sugars. In turn, an elevated serum uric acid has also been shown to be associated with increased risk for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. On the other hand complexity of fructose metabolism in each individuals results of the various magnitude of hyperuricemia induced by fructose intake. The magnitude of uric acid production in each patient may reflect individual predisposition to endogenous urate production in a face of relatively normal fasting uric acid concentration. Therefore the oral fructose tolerance test might reveal an occult purine disturbances which plays casual role in either metabolic disturbances or organ damage. The aim of this study is to see whether is a relationship between fructose induced hyperuricemia and metabolic disturbances , inflammatory state and organ damage in obese and various stages CKD patients.

Anemia of Inflammation: Investigation on Impaired Iron Regulation in Acutely Ill Patients and Their...

Anemia of Acute Inflammation

Anemia of inflammation (AI), a normochromic, normocytic anemia, associated with abnormal iron utilization, erythropoietin hyporesponsiveness, and decreased red blood cells (RBC) survival is a very common problem in hospitalized patients for acute inflammatory diseases and develops within few days from the onset of illness. Deleterious effects of anemia include increased risk of cardiac related morbidity and mortality in critically ill and older patients. Anemia is mediated by hepcidin, the 25-amino acid polypeptide hormone that is central to iron trafficking. Several studies have been performed on pathophysiology of AI in patients affected by chronic diseases but few explore iron metabolism in humans with acute inflammation. The aim is to develop effective new strategies to detect and manage AI in the setting of acutely ill patients, based on the understanding of iron balance underlying this disorder.

Malnutrition and Inflammation in Dialysis Patients in Taiwan

HemodialysisHypercholesterolemia4 more

According to the reports of the United States Renal Data System (USRDS), there is a 25% annual mortality rate with nearly 50% of all reported maintenance hemodialysis (HD) patient deaths attributed to atherosclerosis-related complications. Although traditional risk factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD) are common in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, they alone may be insufficient to account for their high prevalence of CVD. Recent evidence demonstrated high plasma homocysteine levels have been established as a risk factor of chronic inflammation and atherosclerosis in patients with ESRD. Malnutrition and inflammation was associated with poor quality of life, morbidity and mortality. We, the researchers at National Taiwan University Hospital, hope to establish the best predictive profile of HD patient outcome. Thus, we establish several protocols to complete this work.

Changes in Ultrasonographic Assessment of Inflammation Upon Initiation of Adalimumab Combination...

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

Prospective, post-marketing, multi-center, open-label study to explore if the initiation of adalimumab could influence grey-scale (GS) and power Doppler (PD) ultrasonographic (US) score using 36-joint plus 4-tendon scoring system, and validate the applicability of different simplified US joint scoring systems.

Characterizing Knee Pain and Response to Surgery Using Local Biomarkers

Inflammation

The diagnosis and monitoring of clinically-significant pathologies of the knee remains challenging, and it is unknown why only some injuries become painful or respond to surgical intervention. The limitations of diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging result in arthroscopy that is not always beneficial. Elucidation of biochemical pathways underlying pain in this condition may aid patient selection for surgery and provide pharmacotherapeutic targets. Cytokines or a novel yet uncharacterized protein may be involved in pain following meniscus injury and diagnostic cytokine assay may help physicians differentiate patients that may benefit from arthroscopy from those that may not. Additionally, evaluating post-operative biochemical profiles may provide a method of monitoring surgical outcome and understanding post-operative continuation or remission of pain.

Inflammation in Type 2 Myocardial Infarction

Myocardial InfarctionInflammation1 more

Type 2 myocardial infarction (MI) is defined as myocardial necrosis that results from an imbalance of myocardial oxygen supply and demand. Although type 2 MI is highly prevalent in patients with critical illness and strongly associated with mortality, the pathophysiology remains poorly understood. Inflammation is central to the development of atherosclerosis, plaque rupture, and other subtypes of MI, but the role of inflammation in type 2 MI and myocardial necrosis has not been defined. The investigators aim to to delineate the mechanistic role of inflammation in myocardial necrosis and type 2 MI complicating critical medical illness.
