Abstract

BACKGROUND The recurrence rate of kidney stone disease (KSD) can exceed 50% within 5 years. This study aimed to investigate factors associated with stone recurrence based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) rs1801725 and rs1042636, demographic, and clinical profiles. METHODS We collected data on the demographic and clinical characteristics of 80 adult kidney stone formers from April 2021 to September 2022, including peripheral blood samples, morning and 24-hour urine, and 7-day water intake records. Real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to evaluate SNP. Comparisons were made between patients with recurrent and first-time stones. RESULTS 41% of 80 patients have experienced stone recurrence. Recurrent stone formers exhibited significantly higher 24-hour urine calcium excretion (p = 0.03) and lower serum calcium levels (p = 0.019) than first-time stone formers. Hypocitraturia (100%), low urine volume (78%), and hyperoxaluria (55%) were the main abnormalities of all patients. No significant differences were found in CaSR gene polymorphisms and other demographic, biochemical, or clinical parameters. CONCLUSIONS Recurrent stone formers had higher 24-hour urine calcium excretion and lower serum calcium levels. Other risk factors and CaSR polymorphisms may insignificantly affect KSD recurrence.

Abstract

The coexistence of depression and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) can significantly worsen disease prognosis and lower quality of life. Emerging evidence suggests that vitamin D deficiency contributes to the progression of T2DM and is closely associated with the development of depression. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of cholecalciferol on depression in patients with T2DM, exploring its mechanisms by analyzing its impact on C-peptide, serotonin, and neurotrophin-3 levels. A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted at Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia, from April 2021 to September 2022. Patients with T2DM and depressive symptoms were randomly assigned to two groups: received 4000 IU of cholecalciferol daily and received a placebo for 12 weeks. Depression was assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) before and 12 weeks after the intervention. The levels of C-peptide, serotonin, and neurotrophin-3 were measured at the end of the fourth week of intervention using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Between-group comparisons were made using independent Student t-tests and Mann-Whitney U tests. Paired Student t-tests or Wilcoxon tests were applied for within-group comparisons between pre- and post-intervention. A total of 70 T2DM patients with depression were included in this study, comprising 38 patients in the cholecalciferol group and 32 in the placebo group. C-peptide levels increased significantly in the cholecalciferol group compared to the placebo group (p=0.006). No significant differences were observed in serotonin and NT-3 levels between the cholecalciferol group compared to the placebo group. The cholecalciferol group had a significantly greater reduction in BDI-II scores compared to the placebo group (p<0.001). This trial highlights that taking cholecalciferol might help ease mild to moderate depression symptoms in patients with T2DM by enhancing c-peptide levels, though its effects on serotonin and neurotrophin-3 are still unclear.

Abstract

Calorie together with protein intake has been proven to be important factors that play a role in critically ill patients. Hypermetabolism in the early acute phase increases energy expenditure and calorie requirement. Insufficient calorie intake will increase protein degradation for gluconeogenesis, which can be assessed by the level of 24-hour urinary urea nitrogen (UUN). Adequate daily calorie intake is expected to improve the UUN level in patients. This study aims to investigates the correlation of calorie intake with UUN level changes in critically ill patients.

Abstract

Background: The hypercatabolic process due to metabolic stress in critically ill patients, especially in the acute phase, is very high, causing protein degradation. Inadequate intake and high protein losses will result in a negative nitrogen balance. Objective: To analyze the correlation of energy and protein intake in the late acute phase with nitrogen balance changes. Methods: This study’s method was cross−sectional with consecutive sampling, conducted in the ICU of the university of Indonesia hospital. Energy and protein intake were assessed for 7 days. On days 3 and 7 of treatment, 24−hour urine urea nitrogen levels and nitrogen balance (NB) were assessed. Twenty three subjects participants in this study. Results: There was a positive correlation between energy and protein intake with NB on day 3 (r=0.5, p=0.01 ;r=0.6, p=0.003). The mean nitrogen balance changes was positive, namely 3.8 g. There was a significant correlation between energy and protein intake with NB changes (p>0.01) Conclusion: Energy and protein intake were positively correlated with nitrogen balance in the early acute phase. The results show that the administration of energy and protein starting at low intake in the early acute phase and gradually reaching the target intake during the late acute phase leads to an improvement in nitrogen balance.

Abstract

Background: Malnutrition is a very common problem in hospitalized patients. Based on studies conducted in various countries, the prevalence of hospital malnutrition ranges from 20-45%. Hospital malnutrition can occur as a result of insufficient nutrient intake, impaired absorption of nutrients in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, loss of nutrients due to disease, or increased metabolic requirement during illness. Nutrition is the basis for the healing process as it requires good nutrients through various enzymatic reactions. Some studies have shown that hospital malnutrition increases morbidity, mortality, prolongs the duration of hospitalization, and delays recovery. To improve nutritional status, a high-protein diet can be given. Liquid diet is one of the alternative forms of nutrition because it is easier to swallow.Method: This study was a double-blind randomized controlled trial conducted to assess the effectiveness of high protein liquid dietary supplementation in malnourished hospitalized patients. The patients were assessed for their nutritional status based on ESPEN 2015 criteria. Patients who experienced malnutrition will be divided into 2 groups, namely the control group which was given normal protein liquid diet, while the intervention group was given high protein liquid diet supplementation as much as 2 bottles (200 mL) per day for 7-10 days. Furthermore, the nutritional status of the patient was assessed.Results: By administering high-protein liquid diet supplementation, there was a tendency to increase the strength of the right handgrip in 3 subjects (50%), the tendency to increase body mass index (BMI) in 3 subjects (50%), Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) score improved in 2 subjects with mild/moderate malnutrition (33.3%) and 1 subject with normal nutrition (16.7%), and the tendency to increase the fat-free mass in 3 subjects (50%).Conclusion: The administration of high protein liquid dietary supplementation tended to increase the strength of the right handgrip, BMI, SGA score, and body fat-free mass index.
