Preoperative glycemic control positively predicted, while T2DM duration and preoperative insulin use negatively predicted T2DM remission. Higher ABCD score, lower DiaRem and IMS scores predicted higher T2DM remission. Severe hypoalbuminemia was 20% in patients with 250cm common channel and 02% in patients with ≥300cm common channel at the 1-year follow-up.

SLDS is an effective surgery to treat T2DM with severe obesity. Shorter T2DM duration, better preoperative glycemic control and the absence of insulin use were associated with better T2DM remission. Malabsorption was significantly lesser, when common channel was ≥300 versus 250cm.

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) treatment guidelines recommend to initiate potassium-replacement when serum potassium (S

) drops within normal range, and to withhold insulin if S

is below normal. Despite strict recommendations, hypokalemia is frequently observed in DKA.

Scientific literature was thoroughly searched to find 1) DKA treatment guidelines, 2) studies reporting hypokalemia in DKA, 3) and literature elaborating mechanisms involved in hypokalemia.

Acidosis affects S

and its regulators including insulin, catecholamines and aldosterone. Current conceptual framework is an argument to gauge the degree of hypokalemia before it strikes DKA patients utilizing S

level after adjusting it with pH. Suggested approach will reduce hypokalemia risk and its associated complications. The nomogram calculates pH-adjusted potassium and expected potassium loss. It also ranks hypokalemia associated risk, and proposes the potassium-replacement rate over given time period. β-Nicotinamide molecular weight The differences between current DKA treatment guidelines and proposed strategy are also discussed. Moreover, reasons and risk of hyperkalemia due to early initiation of potassium replacement and remedial actions are debated.

In light of proposed strategy, utilizing the nomogram ensures reduced incidence of hypokalemia in DKA resulting in improved clinical and patient outcomes. Pharmacoeconomic benefits can also be expected when avoiding hypokalemia ensures early discharge.

We aimed to study newly diagnosed diabetes in patients with mild to moderate COVID-19.

This was a retrospective cohort study of COVID-19 patients who were admitted to a tertiary care hospital in India from May to October 2020.

Of 102 patients, 21 (20.6%) had newly diagnosed diabetes on admission. Of which, four (19.0%) had marked hyperglycemia with no ketosis or ketoacidosis.

In this study of patients with mild to moderate COVID-19, newly diagnosed diabetes and marked hyperglycemia in those with newly diagnosed diabetes were common.

The method is compatible with mass spectrometry and has been used to guide the development of improved synthesis and purification approaches. The ability to detect and characterize impurities depends on the reagents and the IP buffer system employed, as each can directly affect the degree of chromatographic separation and the sensitivity of detection by MS. Previous work in our laboratory has shown that small alkyl amines are suitable IP reagents for the analysis of impurities in phosphate diester oligonucleotides and can be used to differentiate among individual members of composite impurity families. The addition of an alkyl acid often further enhances peak separation, but at the detriment of ion signal. An improved method with increased chromatographic performance and sensitivity of detection is presented here. Improvements were mainly realized through the use of lower concentrations of small alkyl amine (i.e., 5 mM) and acid (0.5 mM) IP reagents, and ammonium bicarbonate (20 mM) as a buffer. The improved capabilities of the new method are demonstrated by separation of the individual components of the composite n - 1 impurity in a set of four production-scale batches of a single oligonucleotide. Addition of the alkyl acid resulted in resolution of most individual n - 1 impurities. The observed enhanced sensitivity of detection allowed multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) experiments, which were used to differentiate among unresolved impurities.Lots of studies showed the combination therapy of perindopril, indapamide and amlodipine could increase BP lowering efficacy and the benefits of high-risk patients. To evaluate potential pharmacokinetic interaction, a simultaneous UPLC-MS/MS quantification method of perindopril, perindoprilat and indapamide in human plasma was developed and validated. The plasma samples were prepared by solid phase extraction, and then separated on an X-terra MS C18 (2.1 mm × 150 mm, 3.5 μm) with isocratic elution. The ion transitions at m/z 369.165 → 172.000 (perindopril), m/z 341.146 → 170.112 (perindoprilat), m/z 366.010 → 132.100 (indapamide), m/z 389.120 → 206.200 (S10211-1, IS1) and m/z 394.080 → 160.200 (S1641, IS2) were monitored under the positive ion mode of electrospray ionization with multiple reaction monitoring. This method exhibited great sensitivity, linearity, accuracy, and precision for the determination of perindopril, perindoprilat and indapamide over the range of 0.250-50.0 ng/mL. The average extraction recovery of perindopril, perindoprilat and indapamide samples at low, medium, and high concentration levels were between 85.9% and 93.6%, respectively. The stability of analytes over different storage and processing conditions in the whole study was also validated. The method is fast, accurate, sensitive and reproducible, which is suitable for the detection of the concentration of perindopril, perindoprilat and indapamide in human plasma.Application of sunscreen is one of many ways to protect skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation. Sunscreen products are widely used and regulated as over-the-counter drug products in the United States. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommends an assessment of human systemic absorption of sunscreen active ingredients with a Maximal Usage Trial. The FDA conducted a clinical study to determine the systemic exposure of sunscreen active ingredients present in 4 commercially available sunscreen products of different formulation types under maximal usage conditions. To support this clinical study, a sensitive and specific LC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous determination of the two sunscreens avobenzone and oxybenzone in human plasma was developed. Phospholipid removal 96-well protein precipitation plates were used for sample clean-up and the extracted samples were chromatographed on an Ethylene-Bridged Hybrid (BEH) C18 column in isocratic flow using 10 mM ammonium formate in 0.1% formic acid and methanol (2476, v/v) as a mobile phase. A triple quadrupole mass spectrometer in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode was used to acquire data. The method was validated as per current FDA bioanalytical method validation guidance, in the ranges 0.20-12.00 ng/mL for avobenzone and 0.40-300.00 ng/mL for oxybenzone. The validated method was used toanalyzethese active ingredients in human clinical study samples.Dehydrins are well-known components of plant responses to different stresses that cause dehydration, including drought, freezing, salinity, etc. In conifers, the dehydrin gene family is very large, implying that the members of this family have important physiological functions in conifer stress tolerance. However, dehydrin gene expression displays a wide range of responses to stress, from thousand-fold increased expression to decreased expression, and it is generally unknown how regulatory systems are connected at the mRNA and protein levels. Therefore, we studied these aspects of dehydrin regulation in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst) seedlings under polyethylene glycol 6000-induced osmotic stress ranging from relatively low (culture medium water potential of -0.15 MPa) to very high (-1.0 MPa) intensities. In pine, the major dehydrin protein was Dhn1 in both the roots and needles, and in spruce, two isoforms of the Dhn4 protein were the major dehydrins; both of these proteins are AESK-type dehydrins. The genes encoding these major proteins were highly expressed even under control conditions; surprisingly, we also observed several highly expressed dehydrin genes that were not abundantly translated. Under osmotic stress, the most prominent expression changes were observed for the dehydrin genes with low basal expression levels, whereas highly expressed genes generally demonstrated rather modest changes in expression. We report proposed constitutive physiological functions of the AESK-type dehydrins in Pinaceae plants.Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a type of non-coding transcripts having length of more than 200 nucleotides lacking protein-coding ability. In the present study, 12807 lncRNAs were identified in Capsicum annuum tissues exposed to abiotic stress conditions viz. heat, cold, osmotic and salinity stress. Expression analysis of lncRNAs in different treatment conditions demonstrates their stress-specific expression. Thirty lncRNAs were found to act as precursors for 10 microRNAs (miRNAs) of C. annuum. Additionally, a total of 1807 lncRNAs were found to interact with 194 miRNAs which targeted 621 mRNAs of C. annuum. Among these, 344 lncRNAs were found to act as target mimics for 621 genes. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis revealed that out of those 621 gene sequences, 546 were tagged with GO terms, 105 Enzyme Code (EC) numbers were assigned to 246 genes and 223 genes are found to be involved in 63 biological pathways. In this report, we have highlighted the prospective role of lncRNAs in different abiotic stress conditions by interacting with miRNAs and regulating stress responsive transcription factors (TFs) such as DoF, WRKY, MYB, bZIP and ERF in C. annuum.Fructokinase (FRK) mediates fructose phosphorylation to regulate the carbon flow and its assignment to sink tissues. Out of five HbFRKs in the genome of the rubber tree, three (HbFRK1-3) that were highly expressed in latex (cytoplasm of laticifers) were isolated and examined. According to phylogenetic analysis and intracellular location experiment, both HbFRK2 and HbFRK3 were highly possible to be expressed in cytosol, while HbFRK1 was in plastid. As the predominant isoform in laticifers, HbFRK2 had the highest transcripts, followed by HbFRK3 and HbFRK1. In enzymatic function, HbFRK2 also showed the highest affinity for fructose. To examine the roles of FRKs in latex yield and regeneration, changes in HbFRKs were examined when latex outflow from the trees were increased through two experimental interventions. In the first approach, tapping was initiated on previously untapped trees, resulting in latex yield increasing with consecutive tapping at the initial stage before it stabilized. In the second approach, latex yield from trees that were already in regular tapping was stimulated by treatment with the ethylene-based yield stimulant, ethephon.
