背景情况:
- 关于超重/肥胖对儿童急性淋巴细胞白血病 (ALL) 临床结果的影响存在相互矛盾的数据.
- 暴露于超重或肥胖的持续时间可能是不良结果的更重要的预测因素,而不是间歇性的存在.
研究的目的:
- 调查超重或肥胖的持续时间与治疗相关的毒性影响,最小残留疾病,复发和小儿ALL患者的存活率之间的关联.
- 为了确定治疗期间长期超重或肥胖是否会影响关键的临床结果.
主要方法:
- 一项前性队列研究,涉及794名在2005年5月至2011年12月期间被诊断患有ALL的儿童.
- 身体质量指数 (BMI) z-分数从诊断到治疗结束 (EOT) 和生存率都被跟踪.
- 超重/肥胖的持续时间被定义为存在于两个或更多时间点,而不是一个或更少的时间点.
主要成果:
- 超重或肥胖的患病率从诊断时的29.5%增加到EOT时的48.4%.
- 在两个或两个以上时间点超重或肥胖的儿童的整体存活率 (OS) 和无事件存活率 (EFS) 显著下降,复发率更高.

Obesity
348
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a numerical value derived from a person's weight and height, used to categorize individuals into weight ranges. It is calculated using the formula: weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Obesity is a health condition characterized by excessive accumulation of adipose tissue that poses health risks, often diagnosed with a BMI ≥ 30. This excess fat storage occurs when surplus dietary calories are converted into triglycerides and stored in...

Disorders of Leukocytes
782
Leukocyte disorders can lead to either leukopenia, characterized by an abnormally low leukocyte count, or leukocytosis, marked by a very high leukocyte number.
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune...

Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants
266
Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy...

Lethal Alleles

Agouti: A Lethal Allele
Lucien Cuénot discovered lethal alleles in 1905 while studying the inheritance of coat color in mice. The agouti gene is responsible for the color of the coat in mice. This gene codes for an agouti-signaling protein, which is responsible for melanin distribution in mammals. The wild-type allele gives rise to gray-brown coat color in mice, while the mutant allele gives rise to yellow coat color. In addition to coat color, the agouti gene is associated with the yellow...

Bulimia Nervosa
45
Bulimia nervosa is a complex and severe eating disorder characterized by a cyclical pattern of binge-and-purge eating pattern. It generally involves an episode of binge eating, followed by compensatory behaviors such as vomiting, excessive exercise, laxative use, or fasting, to prevent weight gain. Despite often maintaining a normal weight, individuals with bulimia are intensely preoccupied with their body image and harbor an overwhelming fear of gaining weight. This can contribute to the...

Nature and Nurture
20.3K
Many human characteristics, like height, are shaped by both nature—in other words, by our genes—and by nurture, or our environment. For example, chronic stress during childhood inhibits the production of growth hormones and consequently reduces bone growth and height. Scientists estimate that 70-90% of variation in height is due to genetic differences among individuals, and 10-30% of variation in height is due to differences in the environments that individuals experience,...
