概括
性别肯定激素疗法影响功能. 雌激素治疗增加了跨性别女性估计的淋巴球过率 (eGFR),而治疗降低了跨性别男性的eGFR,基于囊素C水平.
科学领域:
- 内分泌学 在内分泌学.
- 腎臟病學 (nephrology) 是一種醫學專業.
- 跨性别者健康 跨性别者健康
背景情况:
- 男人通常比女性更快地经历功能下降,可能是由于性激素.
- 关于性别肯定激素治疗 (GAHT) 对功能的影响的研究有限.
- 血清肌素,一个常见的功能标志物,受到身体组成的影响,这使得在GAHT期间的监测变得复杂.
研究的目的:
- 为了研究性激素和功能之间的关系,在经过GAHT的跨性别个体中.
- 为了评估血清肌素和血清囊素C (一种更稳定的过标志物) 在GAHT1年的变化.
- 为了评估GAHT对估计的膜过率 (eGFR) 的影响,使用cystatin C.
主要方法:
- 分析了来自欧洲调查性别不一致性网络研究的260名跨性别女性和285名跨性别男性的队列.
- 在GAHT开始前和12个月后测量了血清肌素和血清囊素C水平.
- 基于cystatin C的eGFR是使用全年龄谱方程计算的.
主要成果:
- 接受雌激醇和抗雄激素治疗的跨性别女性表现出囊素C的减少,相当于eGFR增加7毫升/分钟/1.73米2.
- 接受丸激素治疗的跨性别男性表现出囊C的增加,相当于eGFR的6毫升/分钟/1.73米2下降.
- 变性女性的肌素水平下降,变性男性的肌素水平增加,基于肌素的eGFR显示出显著的变化.
结论:
- 性别确认激素治疗显著改变跨性别者的功能标志物.
- 雌激醇和抗雄激素治疗与变性女性的功能改善 (EGFR增加) 有关.
- 丸激素治疗与跨性别男性的功能下降 (eGFR下降) 有关.

Cystic Fibrosis: Management
191
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder that predominantly affects individuals of Northern European descent, occurring at a rate of 1 in 3500. It is caused by a genetic mutation in a gene on chromosome 7, most commonly the ΔF508 mutation, that codes for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. This results in thicker mucus secretions and obstruction pathologies in multiple organs, including the lungs and sinuses.

Mitogens and the Cell Cycle
6.5K
Mitogens and their receptors play a crucial role in controlling the progression of the cell cycle. However, the loss of mitogenic control over cell division leads to tumor formation. Therefore, mitogens and mitogen receptors play an important role in cancer research. For instance, the epidermal growth factor (EGF) - a type of mitogen and its transmembrane receptor (EGFR), decides the fate of the cell's proliferation. When EGF binds to EGFR, a member of the ErbB family of tyrosine kinase...
