概括
黑人和白人之间的慢性腰部疼痛 (cLBP) 差异可能源于不同的炎症标志物. 了解这些生物差异对于有针对性的治疗和减少健康不平等至关重要.
科学领域:
- 生物医学科学 生物医学科学
- 疼痛研究 疼痛研究
- 健康差异 在健康上的差异
背景情况:
- 慢性腰部疼痛 (cLBP) 是一个重要的全球健康问题.
- 与非西班牙裔白人 (NHW) 个人相比,非西班牙裔黑人 (NHB) 个人经历了不成比例的cLBP负担.
- 在cLBP中驱动这些种族差异的生物机制尚不清楚.
研究的目的:
- 调查与疼痛干扰,休息疼痛和运动引起的疼痛相关的炎症调解者是否根据cLBP患者的种族身份而有所不同.
- 在NHB和NHW人群中确定与cLBP结果相关的特定炎症生物标志物.
主要方法:
- 从156名cLBP (98名NHB,58名NHW) 个体收集了血液样本.
- 与酶相关的免疫吸收试验和多重试验量化了促炎 (纤维素,CRP,血清粉样蛋白A,TNF-α,IL-1α,IL-1β,IL-6) 和抗炎 (IL-4,IL-13) 标志物.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome I: Introduction
276
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is characterized by functional disturbances in the gastrointestinal system, presenting a cluster of symptoms without evident structural or biochemical abnormalities. It primarily affects the large intestine and may cause abdominal pain, bloating, excessive gas, diarrhea, constipation, or both.
IBS is a chronic condition that can persist over a long period or recur frequently.
The pathogenesis of IBS involves a complex interplay of the following factors:
