まとめ
他の体組成指標ではなく、ボディマス指数(BMI)の極端値が、心移植(HT)後の再入院および感染率の上昇と相関する。現在のBMIガイドラインは、リスクのあるHT患者を特定するのに役立つ可能性がある。
科学分野:
- 循環器科学
- 移植医学
- 体組成分析
背景:
- 現在の心移植(HT)リストガイドラインでは、ボディマス指数(BMI)を35 kg/m²未満としています。
- このBMI閾値を支持するエビデンスは混在しています。
- 特定の体組成測定値のHT後の転帰に対する予測値は確立されていません。
研究 の 目的:
- 特定の体組成指標が心移植(HT)後の転帰を予測するかどうかを評価すること。
- HT後の転帰に対するBMIの予測精度を他の体組成測定値と比較すること。
主な方法:
- HT(2014-2019)を受けた104人の患者を対象とした後ろ向き研究で、腹部CTスキャンを実施しました。
- BMI、脂肪量指数(FMI)、内臓脂肪面積と皮下脂肪面積の比(VAT/SAT)、除脂肪量指数(FFMI)、および骨格筋指数(SMI)について、Slice-O-Maticソフトウェアを使用して組織特性評価を行いました。
- ロジスティック回帰分析により、体組成の三分割値と、1年間の死亡率、再入院、原発性移植片機能不全、入院期間、感染症、腎不全との関連を評価しました。
主要な成果:
- 最高および最低のBMIの三分割値は、1年間の入院再入院(p=0.01)および感染症(p=0.02)のリスク増加と有意に関連していました。
- 脂肪量指数(FMI)、VAT/SAT比、FFMI、およびSMIは、調査された転帰といずれも有意に関連しませんでした。
- BMIは、他の体組成指標と比較して、再入院および感染症のリスクをより良く識別しましたが、死亡率を予測するものではありませんでした。
結論:
- 心移植後1年以内の極端なBMI値は、入院再入院率および感染症率の増加と関連しています。
- 現在のボディマス指数(BMI)の閾値は、心移植後の有害事象のリスクが高い患者を特定するために、詳細な体組成分析よりも効果的である可能性があります。
- 体組成に関する心移植リストの基準を改善するためには、さらなる研究が必要です。

Composite Bodies
1.4K
A composite body is a body made up of multiple parts, connected to form a larger, unified object. Each part has its own weight and center of gravity, which must be considered to determine the center of gravity of the composite body. In cases where the density or specific weight is constant, the center of gravity coincides with the centroid.
Composite bodies have widespread applications in mechanical engineering, from automobiles to aircraft to rockets. For example, an automobile wheel comprises...

Composition of Body Fluids
2.5K
Water functions as a solvent accommodating various solutes, which can be categorized under electrolytes and non-electrolytes. Non-electrolytes are usually held together by covalent bonds, restricting them from dissociating in solution, thereby leading to a lack of electrically charged components upon dissolving in water. They are predominantly organic molecules, such as glucose, creatinine, and urea. Electrolytes, on the other hand, are compounds that can break down into ions in water.

Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature
1.8K
Body temperature can be assessed using various devices and measured in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Glass-bulb Thermometer:
Glass-bulb thermometers are hollow glass tubes with a bulb tip containing liquid such as ethanol or mercury. Historically, glass bulb mercury thermometers were the standard device to measure body temperature. Today, mercury thermometers are prohibited in many countries due to the hazardous effects of mercury and the risk of exposure if the glass bulb breaks. In general,...

Matter: Pure Substances and Mixtures
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.
A mixture is composed of two or...

Alternative RNA Splicing
25.1K
Alternative RNA splicing is the regulated splicing of exons and introns to produce different mature mRNAs from a single pre-mRNA. Unlike in constitutive splicing where a single gene produces a single type of mRNA, alternative splicing allows an organism to produce multiple proteins from a single gene and plays an important role in protein diversity.
There are five types of alternative RNA splicing that vary in the ways the pre-mRNA segments are removed or retained in the mature mRNA. The first...

Predicting Reaction Outcomes
10.8K
Kinetics describes the rate and path by which a reaction occurs. In contrast, thermodynamics deals with state functions and describes the properties, behavior, and components of a system. It is not concerned with the path taken by the process and cannot address the rate at which a reaction occurs. Although it does provide information about what can happen during a reaction process, it does not describe the detailed steps of what appears on an atomic or a molecular level. On the other hand,...
