The impact of probiotics on gut flora represents a new and interesting therapeutic approach in a number of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

(b) The available data regarding pouchitis are limited, but the therapeutic effect seems to be excellent. (c) In the case of Crohn's disease, the role of probiotics is not clearly defined, thus the results of new trials have to be awaited before probiotic therapy is recommended.

Genetic determinants: is there an "atherosclerosis gene"? 遗传决定因素:是否存在“动脉粥样硬化基因”?

{"title":"Genetic determinants: is there an \"atherosclerosis gene\"?","authors":"Gerald W Prager,&nbsp;Bernd R Binder","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>It is now clear that atherosclerotic disease is a chronic inflammatory disease triggered by a sequence of events initiated at sites with turbulent flow under normal conditions such as in the coronary arteries or at bifurcations or where normal laminar flow is replaced by turbulent flow because of vessel pathologies. Normally, laminar flow is protected by generation of NO by endothelial NO synthase (eNOS), which becomes activated via stretch activated channels. When the flow turns turbulent, such protective NO generation ceases, leading to endothelial cell activation and lipid deposition into the extra-cellular space. There, lipoproteins and specifically phospholipids become oxidized by cells of the monocytic-macrophage lineage. Only when the LDL-cholesterol level is high enough lipid peroxidation products are generated in sufficient amounts to perpetuate the disease by generating a feed forward loop of endothelial cell activation leading to an inflammatory response. That inflammatory response might also be added by bacterial or viral infections such as Chlamydia pneumoniae or viruses. The disease then progresses to a chronic inflammatory state, whereby the immune system seems to contribute significantly and markers of chronic inflammation such as fibrinogen, leukocytes, PAI-1 and CRP are found increased.</p>","PeriodicalId":6945,"journal":{"name":"Acta medica Austriaca","volume":"31 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"24621071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

GDM is diagnosed by an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) or fasting glucose concentrations in the diabetic range. In case of a high risk for GDM/type 2 diabetes (history of GDM or prediabetes [impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance]; malformation, stillbirth, successive abortions or birth-weight > 4500 g in previous pregnancies) performance of the OGTT (120 min; 75 g glucose) is recommended already in the first trimester and--if normal--the OGTT should be repeated in the second/third trimester. In case of clinical symptoms of diabetes (glucosuria, macrosomia) the test has to be performed immediately. All other women should undergo a diagnostic test between 24 and 28 gestational weeks. If fasting plasma glucose exceeds 95 mg/dl, 1 h 180 mg/dl and 2 hrs 155 mg/dl after glucose loading (OGTT) the woman is classified as GDM (one pathological value is sufficient). In this case a strict metabolic control is mandatory. All women should receive nutritional counseling and be instructed in blood glucose self-monitoring. If blood glucose levels cannot be maintained in the normal range (fasting < 95 mg/dl and 1 h after meals < 130 mg/dl) insulin therapy should be initiated. Maternal and fetal monitoring is required in order to minimize maternal and fetal/neonatal morbidity and perinatal mortality. After delivery all women with GDM have to be reevaluated as to their glucose tolerance by a 75 g OGTT (WHO criteria).","PeriodicalId":6945,"journal":{"name":"Acta medica Austriaca","volume":"34 1","pages":"182-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87295989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In patients with acute dyspnea, these markers might strengthen the clinical suspicion of decompensated congestive heart failure.

Furthermore, BNP and NT-proBNP are predictors of morbidity and mortality in patients with heart failure, but also in acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism and other cardiovascular diseases. The markers therefore appear suitable for additional risk stratification. Independently from the clinical application, however, it is important to note that extracardiac variables may affect marker concentrations and need to be considered when marker concentrations are interpreted.
