Patients (n=215) with treatment-naïve PDAC (n=77), CP with bile or pancreatic duct pathology (n=67), and controls (n=71) that had been prospectively enrolled in a Pancreatobiliary Disease Biorepository at the time of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) or endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) were identified. Controls were patients with choledocholithiasis but normal pancreata. The sample was separated into training (n=95) and validation (n=120) cohorts to establish and then test the performance of PDAC Signature Panels in diagnosing PDAC. The training cohort (n=95) included age-matched patients with CP and controls. Panels were derived from the differential expression of 10-candidate miRNA in plasma or bile.

    Abstract: It was determined whether SNPs in SLC4A5 are associated with salt sensitivity of blood pressure (BP). Subjects consumed an isocaloric constant diet with a randomized order of 7 days low Na+ (10 mmol/d) and 7 days high Na+ (300 mmol/d) intake. Salt sensitivity was defined as a ?7 mm Hg increase in mean arterial pressure (MAP). 35 polymorphisms in 17 candidate genes were assayed. Association analyses with salt sensitivity revealed three variants that associated with salt sensitivity, two in SLC4A5 (rs7571842, rs10177833; P<0.001), and one in GRK4 (rs1801058; P=0.020). Paradoxical changes in blood pressure in response to changes in salt intake were also found associated with a SNP for DRD2 (rs6276). In conclusion, SLC4A5 variants are strongly associated with salt sensitivity of BP in Caucasian and a DRD2 SNP is a marker for paradoxical response to salt intake.

  • Publication number: 20150133397
    Abstract: A method of treatment for reducing elevated fasting insulin levels of subjects with a MTHFR gene deficiency is provided. The method includes first determining whether a subject has an MTHFR gene deficiency. Once a subject has been found to have the MTHFR gene deficiency, the fasting insulin levels of the subject are determined. If the subject has a high fasting insulin level, the subject is administered an active folate.

  • Publication number: 20150133454
    Abstract: Provided is a nanostructured mucoadhesive microparticle including a biocompatible polymer, the microparticle having a surface with a nanostructure formed thereon. The present nanostructured mucoadhesive microparticle having an increased retention time on the mucous as well as with a minimized irritation to the surface can be advantageously used as a drug delivery vehicle. Thus the increased bioavailability of a therapeutic agent administered by the present microparticle leads to an increased therapeutic efficacy, reduced dosage and reduced number of administration as well as significant cost savings and improved patient convenience resulted therefrom.
