“…Our findings support the role of alcohol counseling in a special group of patients like diabetics, as consequences of alcohol consumption, such as cancers [44], possibly modulated by genetic polymorphisms and enzyme expression in various neoplasia [45,46] or osteoporosis [47,48], tend to be more frequent. The lower number of cases did not allow us to clarify the role of studied parameters as independent risk factors for ulcer in diabetic patients, and to completely rule out all possible confounding factors.…”

IntroductionIntroduction: Helicobacter pylori infection is accepted as the leading cause of chronic gastritis, ulcer disease and gastric cancer, with an important impact on health care burden, especially in countries with a high prevalence of infection. The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of H. pylori infection, medication, associated medical conditions or social habits on endoscopic ulcer occurrence in the compensated type 2 diabetic population.Material and methodsTwo hundred and sixty type 2 diabetic patients investigated on endoscopy (57 patients with peptic ulcer and 203 controls) with a complete set of biopsies, demographic and medical data were enrolled.ResultsOn univariate regression analysis, H. pylori infection (42.1% vs. 35.5%, p = 0.359) or a history of peptic ulcer (61.4% vs. 61.6%, p = 0.981) was not a predictor for ulcer on endoscopy in the diabetic population, and heartburn was more frequent in diabetics without ulcer (21.2% vs. 8.8%, p = 0.033). Anemia was the best predictor for ulcer on endoscopy in both diabetics with (p < 0.001, OR: 4.77, 95% CI: 2.02–11.28) and without (p = 0.027, OR: 2.76, 95% CI: 1.10–6.91) chronic proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy. In diabetic patients on PPI more than 1 month anticoagulants – acenocoumarol or low-weight molecular heparin (p = 0.038, OR: 2.37, 95% CI: 1.04–5.40), low-dose aspirin 75–125 mg/day (p = 0.029, OR: 2.61, 95% CI: 1.08–6.28) and alcohol consumption (p = 0.015, OR: 2.70, 95% CI: 1.19–6.13) were predictors for ulcer on endoscopy.ConclusionsIn diabetic patients, anemia is the most important predictor for ulcer on endoscopy, but not H. pylori or digestive symptoms, while low-dose aspirin or anticoagulant therapy and alcohol consumption are the most important predictors for ulcer in diabetics on chronic proton pump inhibitor therapy.

“…The problem of bone density tests in women is current and it is necessary to thoroughly understand the risk factors of osteopenia and osteoporosis. Interesting new directions of research include the assessment of the influence of alcohol, coffee, and tea on BMD [41], quality of life [42], as well as detailed studies of the relationship between BMD and other diseases [43] and with biomarkers in blood [44].…”

A b s t r a c tIntroduction: In this study, the hypothesis that bone mineral density (BMD) of peri-, pre-and postmenopausal women is associated with the current level of habitual physical activity, as well as past physical activity, at the age of building peak bone mass, was tested. Material and methods: The study involved 500 Polish women aged 40 to 70. For the assessment of BMD and bone mineral content (BMC) the densitometry method (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, DXA) of the forearm bone was used. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used to assess the present level of physical activity. The assessment of past physical activity was related to adolescence. Results: There was a significant, strong influence on the norm BMD in the distal forearm sections values in the distal forearm sections of such variables as: older age of the first menstruation (OR = 1.37; p = 0.002), sufficient present physical activity (OR = 1.57; p = 0.001), and particularly high past physical activity (OR = 6.77; p = 0.003). Significantly lower chances for the norm BMD dis were found in women with the oldest hormonal status (OR = 0.09; p < 0.001). In the proximal segment, the analogous conditions of the norm BMD, and in addition the chances for good mineralization, were increased by higher body mass index (OR = 1.11; p < 0.001). Sufficient present activity increased the chances of good forearm mineralization in the proximal part more than four times (OR = 4.2; p < 0.001), and a high level of past physical activity increased these chances several dozen times (OR = 69.9; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Physical activity proved to be one of the most important factors determining the statistically significant correct mineralization of bone tissue of women.

“…Alcoholism is a major socio-economic and medical problem worldwide, and a major risk factor for chronic liver disease, which includes 2 Arch Med Sci fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Alcoholic cirrhosis (AC) is the most common indication for liver transplantation (LT), which accounts for approximately 33% of all primary transplants in Europe [7][8][9][10][11].…”

KIR2DL2/S2 and KIR2DS5 in alcoholic cirrhotic patients undergoing liver transplantation

et al. 2021

Introduction: The molecular mechanisms underlying alcoholic liver fibrosis and cirrhosis are not completely understood. Hepatic fibrosis involves the interplay of diverse cells and factors, including hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), Kupffer, NK cells, and T-lymphocyte subsets. Killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) are membrane receptors involved in mediation between NK and activated HSCs, regulating NK cell function through their interaction with HLA-I molecules. The aim of this study was to analyse the genetic association between KIR genes and the susceptibility to or protection from alcoholic cirrhosis (AC) in a cohort of male AC patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT) with and without concomitant viral infections. Material and methods: KIR genotyping was performed in nuclear DNA extracted from 281 AC patients and compared with 319 male controls. Results: Significant differences between total AC patients and healthy controls were only found in the case of KIR2DL2 and KIR2DS5. KIR2DL2 was significantly underrepresented in non-viral AC patients (52.6% vs. 63.3%; p = 0.015), while patients heterozygous for KIR2DL2 were also underrepresented in the non-viral AC group compared with controls (p = 0.034). KIR2DS5 was overrepresented in this group compared with healthy controls (p = 0.002). All these observations were only evident in AC patients older than 54 years old. Conclusions: Our data suggest a contrary effect of KIR2DL2 and KIR2DS5 in AC patients older than 54 years, in whom the presence of KIR2DL2 appears to be protective against AC, whereas the presence of KIR2DS5 seems to promote the fibrotic process, particularly in patients with no associated viral infection.
