Meng H, Choi Y, Yim K. Metabolic Syndrome According to Dietary and Health-Related Lifestyle in Male Cancer Survivors and Non-Cancer over 40 Years of Age. Foods 2024; 13:1351. [PMID: 38731722 PMCID: PMC11082997 DOI: 10.3390/foods13091351] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2024] [Revised: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Researchers often report higher metabolic syndrome (MetS) pr\4;evalence among cancer survivors than among non-cancer individuals. This study aims to explore the impact of cancer presence, activity type, and dietary lifestyle on MetS in males over 40 years of age. Participants (n = 9846; 618 cancer survivors, 9228 non-cancer) were selected by extracting data from a Korean government database spanning the years 2016 to 2021. Physical activity patterns, dietary habits, and MetS factors were measured, and a multiple logistic regression analysis was statistically processed for an odds ratio (OR). MetS was present in 32.8% of cancer survivors and 28.6% of non-cancer individuals. Gastric cancer survivors exhibited a 16% lower OR for MetS versus non-cancer participants. The ORs were higher by 1.60-, 1.45-, and 1.26-fold for colorectal, urinary, and other cancers, respectively. Cancer survivors with high calorie, carbohydrate, and fat intakes exhibited ORs of 2.01 (95% CI 1.28-4.04), 2.33 (95% CI 1.28-4.54), and 1.39 (95% CI 1.05-2.37) compared to the recommended level. The high fiber-intake group reduced the MetS OR by 20%. In conclusion, The MetS prevalence was higher in survivors with colorectal cancer, urinary cancer, and other cancers, while it was lower in patients with gastric cancer. Survivors with low rates of eating three meals a day, high skipping breakfast, increased eating-out rate, and no nutritional learning opportunity displayed higher MetS prevalence. Additionally, cancer survivors who had more strength and leisure activities had a lower OR of MetS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This research delved into the association between the risk of the Chinese population suffering from breast cancer (BC) and the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index. METHODS A total of 2,111 sufferers with benign breast disease (BBD) and 477 sufferers with BC were enrolled, and their TyG index was measured. Participants with varying TyG index values were categorized into quartiles. Logistic regression analysis was employed to assess the relationship between the TyG index and BC risk. The diagnostic performance of the TyG index for different stages of BC was measured using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. RESULTS The TyG index of BC sufferers exceeded that of BBD (P < 0.001). A continuous increase in the risk of BC was found to be positively correlated with an ever-increasing TyG index. In the unadjusted model, the risk of getting BC mounted with quartiles of the TyG index growing (P < 0.001). In a logistic regression analysis that included all confounders, the highest quartile of the TyG index was strongly linked to BC risk [1.43 (1.01, 2.02), P < 0.05]. Moreover, with the adjustment of potential confounders, a high TyG index was found to result in a 2.53-fold higher risk of being diagnosed with advanced BC. CONCLUSIONS The risen TyG index was positively correlated to the heightening risk of BC and had the potential to serve as a promising biomarker for BC. Individuals with a high TyG index ought to be mindful of the heightened risk of BC onset and progression.

Abstract
The role of vitamin D in the prevention of chronic diseases including cancer, has received a great deal of attention during the past few decades. The term "Cancer" represents multiple disease states with varying biological complexities. The strongest link between vitamin D and cancer is provided by ecological and studies like observational, in preclinical models. It is apparent that vitamin D exerts diverse biological responses in a tissue specific manner. Moreover, several human factors could affect bioactivity of vitamin D. The mechanism(s) underlying vitamin D initiated anti-carcinogenic effects are diverse and includes changes at the muti-system levels. The oncogenic environment could easily corrupt the traditional role of vitamin D or could ensure resistance to vitamin D mediated responses. Several researchers have identified gaps in our knowledge pertaining to the role of vitamin D in cancer. Further areas are identified to solidify the role of vitamin D in cancer control strategies.

Abstract
Cancer is a major cause of death in Korea. Improving dietary habits and encouraging physical activity (PA) are important in managing the quality of life and health of patients. Cancer survivors (CS) often exhibit a higher incidence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) than non-cancer (NC) individuals. The purpose of this study was to analyze the prevalence of MetS according to dietary habits and PA in women who survived various cancers: stomach, colorectal, breast, cervical, lung, thyroid, and others. The participants (n = 12,676; NC: 11,673, CS: 1003) were analyzed cross-sectionally over a 6-year period. Caloric intake, eating-out frequency, breakfast frequency, dietary supplements, dietary therapy, nutritional education, participation in aerobic activity, strength training frequency, and sedentary lifestyle were evaluated. The prevalence of MetS was 1.22 (95% confidence interval (CI), 1.07-1.39) times higher in CS than in NC, exhibiting a 1.77-fold (95%CI, 1.14-2.74) increase in colorectal cancer, 1.72-fold (95%CI, 1.29-2.30) in cervical cancer, and 3.07-fold (95%CI, 1.14-5.31) in lung cancer. A higher-than-recommended caloric intake and frequent eating out increased MetS 1.43-fold (95%CI, 1.09-1.79) and 1.11-fold (95%CI, 1.01-1.64), respectively, in NC, and 1.31-fold (95%CI, 1.03-1.75) and 2.65-fold (95%CI, 2.29-3.07), respectively, in CS. Aerobic activity below the recommended level resulted in a 1.37-fold (95%CI, 1.13-1.71) and 1.36-fold (95%CI, 1.10-1.87) increase in NC and CS, respectively, whereas muscle strength increased 1.36-fold (95%CI, 1.08-1.70) and 1.49-fold (95%CI, 1.07-2.57), respectively, at below recommended levels. MetS was more prevalent in CS than in NC; high caloric intake, frequent eating out, low PA, and more sedentary time increased the risk of MetS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components and the risk of developing urologic cancers. METHODS This study included 101,510 observation subjects from May 2006 to December 2007. The subjects received questionnaires and were subjected to clinical and laboratory examinations to collect data on baseline population characteristics, waist circumference (WC), blood pressure (BP), blood glucose, blood lipids, lifestyle, and past disease history. Finally, follow-up was conducted from the date of recruitment to December 31, 2019. Cox proportional hazards modelling was applied to analyze the association between MetS and its components and the risk of developing urologic cancers. RESULTS A total of 97,975 observation subjects met the inclusion criteria. The cumulative follow-up period included 1,209,178.65 person-years, and the median follow-up time was 13.03 years. During the follow-up period, 485 cases of urologic cancers (165 cases of kidney cancer, 134 cases of prostate cancer, 158 cases of bladder cancer, and 28 cases of other urologic cancers) were diagnosed. The log-rank test results for the cumulative incidences of urologic cancer, kidney cancer, and prostate cancer indicated significant (P < 0.01) differences between the MetS and non-MetS groups (0.70% vs. 0.48%, 0.27% vs. 0.15%, and 0.22% vs. 0.13%, respectively). Compared to the non-MetS group, the risk of developing urologic [HR (95% CI) = 1.29 (1.08-1.55)], kidney [HR (95% CI) = 1.74 (1.28-2.37)], and prostate [HR (95% CI) = 1.47 (1.04-2.07)] cancers was significantly higher in the MetS group. In the MetS group, elevated BP increased the risk of developing of urologic cancer [HRs (95% CI) = 1.35 (1.10-1.66)] and kidney cancer [HR (95% CI) = 1.74 (1.21-2.51)], while central obesity increased the risk of developing prostate cancer [HR (95% CI) = 1.68 (1.18-2.40)]. CONCLUSIONS MetS increased the risk of developing urologic, kidney, and prostate cancers but had no association with the development of bladder cancer.

Life Sci 2023; 329:121925. [PMID: 37423377 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2023.121925] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2023] [Revised: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/07/2023] [Indexed: 07/11/2023]
Abstract
AIM The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS), a cluster of serious medical conditions that raise the risk of lung cancer, has increased worldwide. Tobacco smoking (TS) potentially increases the risk of developing MetS. Despite the potential association of MetS with lung cancer, preclinical models that mimic human diseases, including TS-induced MetS, are limited. Here we evaluated the impact of exposure to tobacco smoke condensate (TSC) and two representative tobacco carcinogens, 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol (NNK) and benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), on MetS development in mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS FVB/N or C57BL/6 mice were exposed to vehicle, TSC, or NNK and BaP (NB) twice weekly for 5 months. The serum levels of total cholesterol (TCHO), triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), blood glucose, and metabolites, along with glucose tolerance and body weight, were measured. KEY FINDINGS Compared with those of vehicle-treated mice, mice with TSC or NB exposure displayed major phenotypes associated with MetS, including increased serum levels of TCHO, triglycerides, and fasting and basal blood glucose and decreased glucose tolerance, and serum levels of HDL. These MetS-associated changes were found in both FVB/N and C57BL/6 mice that were susceptible or resistant to carcinogen-induced tumorigenesis, respectively, indicating that tumor formation is not involved in the TSC- or NB-mediated MetS. Moreover, oleic acid and palmitoleic acid, which are known to be associated with MetS, were significantly upregulated in the serum of TSC- or NB-treated mice compared with those in vehicle-treated mice. SIGNIFICANCE Both TSC and NB caused detrimental health problems, leading to the development of MetS in experimental mice.

Abstract
This study evaluated the relationship between metabolic syndrome (MS) and the risk of hypopharyngeal cancer. This retrospective cohort study used data from the Korean National Health Insurance Research Database. A total of 4,567,890 participants who underwent a health checkup in 2008 were enrolled. The participants were followed until 2019, and the incidence of hypopharyngeal cancer was analyzed. We evaluated the risk of hypopharyngeal cancer according to the presence of MS, including obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and diabetes, using a multivariate Cox proportional hazards model adjusted for age, sex, alcohol consumption, and smoking. During the follow-up period, 821 were newly diagnosed with hypopharyngeal cancer. MS was inversely associated with the risk of hypopharyngeal cancer (hazard ratio (HR), 0.83 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.708-0.971]). Large waist circumference and high triglyceride levels among MS elements were both inversely related to the risk of hypopharyngeal cancer (HR: 0.82 [95% CI, 0.711-0.945] and 0.83 [95% CI, 0.703-0.978], respectively). The risk of hypopharyngeal cancer decreased with increasing comorbidity of MS in women (N = 0 vs. N = 1-2 vs. N ≥ 3; HR = 1 vs. HR = 0.511 [95% CI, 0.274-0.952] vs. HR = 0.295 [95% CI, 0.132-0.66]), but not in men. This study may improve our etiological understanding of hypopharyngeal cancer.

Abstract
The aim of this national population-based retrospective study was to analyze the relationship between MetS and the incidence of HNC. In this Korean population-based cohort study, 9,598,085 subjects above the age of 20 were monitored from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2018. In the study population, a total of 10,732 individuals were newly diagnosed with HNC during the 10-year follow-up. The hazard ratio (HR), after adjusting for age, gender, smoking status, alcohol intake, and exercise, indicated that participants with MetS were at a 1.06-fold (95% CI: 1.01-1.10) higher risk of having HNC than those without MetS. Participants with MetS showed an increased risk of developing oral cavity cancer (HR, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.03-1.23) and laryngeal cancer (HR, 1.18; 95% CI, 1.09-1.27). Among the components of MetS, elevated fasting glucose (HR = 1.04, 95% CI: 1.00-1.08) and elevated blood pressure (HR = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.04-1.13) were significantly associated with an increased HR for HNC in an adjusted multivariable model. The association between HNC and MetS remained significant even among individuals who had never smoked or were ex-smokers (HR: 1.09; 95% CI: 1.04-1.15), as well as those who did not drink or were mild drinkers (HR: 1.07; 95% CI: 1.02-1.12). The findings of this cohort study suggest MetS was associated with an increased risk for some types of HNCs. The results of this study could assist with etiological investigations and prevention strategies.

Association of earlier age at menopause with risk of incident dementia, brain structural indices and the potential mediators: a prospective community-based cohort study. EClinicalMedicine 2023; 60:102033. [PMID: 37396803 PMCID: PMC10314163 DOI: 10.1016/j.eclinm.2023.102033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2023] [Revised: 04/26/2023] [Accepted: 05/17/2023] [Indexed: 07/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Background To date, there is no homogeneous evidence of whether earlier age at menopause is associated with incident dementia. In addition, the underlying mechanism and driven mediators are largely unknown. We aimed to fill these knowledge gaps. Methods This community-based cohort study included 154,549 postmenopausal women without dementia at enrolment (between 2006 and 2010) from the UK Biobank who were followed up until June 2021. We followed up until June 2021. Age at menopause was entered as a categorical variable (<40, 40-49, and ≥50 years) with ≥50 years taken as a reference. The primary outcome was all-cause dementia in a time-to-event analysis and the secondary outcomes included Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, and other types of dementia. In addition, we investigated the association between magnetic resonance (MR) brain structure indices with earlier menopause, and explored the potential underlying driven mediators on the relationship between earlier menopause and dementia. Findings 2266 (1.47%) dementia cases were observed over a median follow-up period of 12.3 years. After adjusting for confounders, women with earlier menopause showed a higher risk of all-cause dementia compared with those ≥50 years (adjusted-HRs [95% CIs]: 1.21 [1.09-1.34] and 1.71 [1.38-2.11] in the 40-49 years and <40 years groups, respectively; P for trend <0.001). No significant interactions between earlier menopause and polygenic risk score, cardiometabolic factors, type of menopause, or hormone-replacement therapy strata were found. Earlier menopause was negatively associated with brain MR global and regional grey matter indices, and positively associated with white matter hyperintensity. The relationship between earlier menopause and dementia was partially mediated by menopause-related comorbidities including sleep disturbance, mental health disorder, frailty, chronic pain, and metabolic syndrome, with the proportion (95% CI) of mediation effect being 3.35% (2.18-5.40), 1.38% (1.05-3.20), 5.23% (3.12-7.83), 3.64% (2.88-5.62) and 3.01% (2.29-4.40), respectively. Multiple mediator analysis showed a combined effect being 13.21% (11.11-18.20). Interpretation Earlier age at menopause was associated with risk of incident dementia and deteriorating brain health. Further studies are warranted to clarify the underlying mechanisms by which earlier age at menopause is linked to an increased risk of dementia, and to determine public health strategies to attenuate this association.

Kim JS, Kim M, Seo Y. User evaluation of a mobile education application for the management of metabolic syndrome among cancer survivors. Eur J Oncol Nurs 2023; 63:102276. [PMID: 36898267 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejon.2023.102276] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2022] [Revised: 01/20/2023] [Accepted: 02/09/2023] [Indexed: 02/12/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to develop a smartphone education application for managing metabolic syndrome among cancer survivors and obtain user evaluation based on quantitative and qualitative data. METHODS Ten cancer survivors and 10 oncology nurse specialists responded to a structured usability evaluation tool (Mobile Application Rating Scale: MARS). Quantitative data analysis was performed through descriptive statistics using SPSS version 25.0. We conducted semi-structured interviews of the cancer survivors and oncology nurse specialists. Qualitative data of interview responses were coded as the app's strengths and weaknesses, information, motivation, and behavioral change. RESULTS The overall usability evaluation score of the app was 3.66 ± 0.39 for cancer survivors and 3.79 ± 0.20 for oncology nurse specialists. Both cancer survivors and oncology nurse specialists scored the area of functionality as the highest and engagement as the lowest. Additionally, the qualitative usability evaluation suggested that the app should be visually improved by including figures and tables to enhance readability and providing videos and more specific guidelines to directly elicit behavioral change. CONCLUSIONS Metabolic syndrome in cancer survivors can be effectively managed by using the educational application developed in this study by improving the shortcomings of the app for cancer survivors.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) worldwide. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) were initially developed for treating patients with type 2 DM. The four major drugs developed are canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, empagliflozin, and ertugliflozin. Apart from treating DM, these drugs have shown to have a beneficial effect on lowering cardiovascular death and lowering hospital admission, and have beneficial renal outcomes. Recently, several large-scale randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were done to assess the benefit of these drugs, mainly in patients with CVD, irrespective of their diabetic status. This systematic review examined seven large-scale randomized controlled trials that focused mainly on CVD in patients with type 2 DM and if it showed any improvement. We properly screened the RCTs if they demonstrated cardiovascular outcomes after taking the SGLT2i or a placebo drug. The seven studies combined had a total sample population of 55,433, and the mean follow-up time was about four years. The participants included in this study had various basal metabolic indices, ages, glomerular filtration rates, and diabetic status characteristics. Although these patients were quite different, after the administration of SGLT2i, the studies showed a beneficial effect in reducing CVD mortality and morbidity in patients with type 2 DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome increases the risk of developing several types of cancer in humans; however, its effect on the development of kidney cancer is not uniform. OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components and the risk of developing kidney cancer. METHODS We conducted a cohort-based case-control study. The case group included 217 patients with new kidney cancer in the Kailuan cohort. A total of 868 subjects who were matched for age and sex with those in the case group age (± 1 year) at 1:4 as the control group were selected from baseline survey participants without malignant tumours at the same time as the case group. Biennial baseline survey data of the cases and controls were collected, and the baseline data nearest to the onset time of cases were used for statistical analyses. Logistic proportional risk regression models were used to analyse the association between MetS and its components and the risk of developing kidney cancer. RESULTS The proportion of MetS patients in the case group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P< 0.01). The risk of developing kidney cancer was significantly higher in the MetS group than in the non-MetS group [odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval, CI) = 1.63 (1.20-2.21)], and the risk of kidney cancer increased as the number of MetS components increased compared with subjects without any MetS components (p𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑑< 0.01). Elevated blood pressure and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were associated with the risk of kidney cancer [OR (95% CI) = 1.49 (1.02-2.17) and 1.55 (1.13-2.13), respectively]. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that the risk of developing kidney cancer is correlated with MetS.

Abstract
Emerging evidence indicates an association between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), cancer development and mortality. Cancer treatment-induced metabolic and hepatic dysfunction may be associated with increased rates of NAFLD. The review aims to investigate current evidence surrounding NAFLD in adults (≥18 years) with cancer including prevalence, effect of cancer treatments, metabolic co-morbidities, and mortality. Embase, Scopus, PubMed, and CINAHL were searched from inception to December 2021 including randomized controlled trials and observational studies. Twenty-three articles were included, comprising 142,218 participants. The overall risk of bias for observational studies was determined as low for 10 studies and neutral for 12 studies, and the RCT was determined as some concerns. The prevalence of NAFLD, based on imaging or histology, in adults with cancer ranged from 0.5 to 81.3%, with higher prevalence in breast, colorectal and gynecological cancers. Higher rates of NAFLD were also seen in patients who (i) underwent treatments-including chemotherapy and hormone therapy and/or who (ii) had higher BMI or other metabolic co-morbidities. NAFLD was associated with an increase in all-cause and cancer-related mortality. Based on review results, it is recommended that further assessment is carried out to determine whether liver screening in high-risk patients is cost effective and if interventions can be implemented to improve hepatic and health outcomes in adults with cancer.

Abstract
Per capita sugar consumption has increased in the United States to over 45 kg per year. The average person in the US currently consumes significantly more added sugar in their diet than the World Health Organization's, the American Cancer Society's, and the American Heart Association's recommendations for daily sugar consumption. Evidence from epidemiologic and preclinical studies demonstrates that excess sugar consumption can lead to development of cancer and progression of disease for those with cancer independent of the association between sugar and obesity. Human epidemiologic studies and mechanistic preclinical studies in multiple cancers support a causal link between excess sugar and cancer. Preclinical studies show that high-sucrose or high-fructose diets activate several mechanistic pathways, including inflammation, glucose, and lipid metabolic pathways. Although human studies are limited, compelling human and primate studies have explored the link between added sugar and metabolic syndrome (MetS), a risk factor for cancer. Substantial evidence suggests a causal link between MetS and added sugar, indicating important implications in the association between excess sugar consumption and cancer. Human clinical trials are needed to determine whether sugar increases cancer development and progression independently of its established role in causing obesity as well as for further exploration of the mechanisms involved.

Abstract
Plant polysaccharides (PPS) composed of more than 10 monosaccharides show high safety and various pharmacological activities, including immunoregulatory, antitumor, antioxidative, antiaging, and other effects. In recent years, emerging evidence has indicated that many PPS are beneficial for metabolic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, obesity, and neurological diseases, which are usually caused by the metabolic disorder of fat, sugar, and protein. In this review, we introduce the common characteristics and functional activity of many representative PPS, emphasize the common risks and molecular mechanism of metabolic diseases, and discuss the pharmacological activity and mechanism of action of representative PPS obtained from plants including Aloe vera, Angelica sinensis, pumpkin, Lycium barbarum, Ginseng, Schisandra chinensis, Dioscorea pposite, Poria cocos, and tea in metabolic diseases. Finally, this review will provide directions and a reference for future research and for the development of PPS into potential drugs for the treatment of metabolic diseases.

Visceral obesity with and without metabolic syndrome: incidence and clinical impact in esophageal adenocarcinoma treated with curative intent. Dis Esophagus 2022; 35:6509730.

Abstract
Visceral obesity (VO) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are risk factors for esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC); however, their impact on operative and oncological outcomes is unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of VO and MetS among patients with EAC, and to assess their independent impact on operative and oncological outcomes. A total of 454 consecutive patients undergoing treatment with curative intent were studied. Total, subcutaneous, visceral fat area (VFA), and lean body mass (LBM) were measured by computed tomography pretreatment, with VO defined as VFA >163.8cm2 for men and 80.1cm2 for women. MetS was defined per the ATPIII definition. Multivariable logistic and Cox proportional hazards regression were utilized to determine independent predictors of oncologic and operative outcomes. A total of 227 patients (50.0%) had VO. A total of 134 (30%) overall had MetS, 44% in the VO cohort. VO was associated with Barrett's esophagus (P = 0.002) and lower cT (P = 0.006) and cN stage (P = 0.011), and improved disease-specific (P = 0.021) and overall survival (P = 0.012). No survival benefit existed for patients with VO who also had MetS. For operative complications, neither VO nor MetS increased the severity of complications, or mortality. However, VO was significantly (P = 0.035) associated with anastomotic leak and pneumonia (P = 0.037). MetS alone did not increase complication risk. VO increases specific major operative complications with no increase in mortality. VO improved survival, mainly relating to earlier stage disease; however, co-existent MetS abrogated this benefit. These seemingly paradoxical outcomes highlight manageable and potentially targetable perioperative challenges in the context of an overall favorable oncologic vista.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review aims to report the latest discoveries regarding the relationship between BMI, obesity, and cancer development and treatment. RECENT FINDINGS Obesity and metabolic syndrome relationships with cancer have been deeply investigated in the literature but their association is still debated. Currently, it has been recorded an association between BMI and endometrial, colorectal, gastric, liver, bladder, and prostate cancer. The mechanisms behind this association have also been investigated. It has been hypothesized that chronic inflammation determined by obesity may concur to the development of tumors and that Insulin Resistance may enhance cell proliferation directly or indirectly. Moreover, different studies suggest that the relationship between higher BMI and cancer may include metabolic disturbances comparable to those linked to metabolic syndrome. However, greater weight has been linked to a better overall prognosis in patients with advanced disease, a concept called the obesity paradox. This paradox has been recently investigated in the context of urological malignancies, such as bladder, prostate, and kidney cancer. SUMMARY Patients' metabolic and morphological status may impact their risk of developing different types of tumors and the response to systemic therapy. However, further research is necessary to better delineate the mechanisms behind these associations and how they could or should affect medical decision.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the association between metabolic diseases and the risk of head and neck cancer (HNC) using nationwide population-based big data. This retrospective cohort study was conducted using the Korean National Health Insurance Service health checkup database. A total of 4,575,818 participants aged >40 years who received a health checkup in 2008 were enrolled, and we studied the incidence of HNC until 2019. We analyzed the risk of HNC according to the presence of metabolic diseases, such as obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and diabetes. Although metabolic syndrome itself was not associated with HNC, each component of metabolic syndrome was associated with HNC. Underweight and diabetes were risk factors for HNC (HR: 1.694). High total cholesterol and high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were factors that decreased the risk (HR 0.910 and 0.839). When we analyzed men and women separately, low total cholesterol level, low low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, and hypertension were risk factors only in men. In addition, pre-obesity, obesity, and central obesity decreased the risk only in men. Each metabolic disease affects HNC in different ways. Underweight and diabetes increased the risk of HNC, whereas high total cholesterol and high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels decreased the risk of HNC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The metabolic dysfunction driven by obesity, including hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia, increases risk for developing at least 13 cancer types. The concept of "metabolic dysfunction" is often defined by meeting various combinations of criteria for metabolic syndrome. However, the lack of a unified definition of metabolic dysfunction makes it difficult to compare findings across studies. This review summarizes 129 studies that evaluated variable definitions of metabolic dysfunction in relation to obesity-related cancer risk and mortality after a cancer diagnosis. Strategies for metabolic dysfunction management are also discussed. METHODS A comprehensive search of relevant publications in MEDLINE (PubMed) and Google Scholar with review of references was conducted. RESULTS Metabolic dysfunction, defined as metabolic syndrome diagnosis or any number of metabolic syndrome criteria out of clinical range, inflammatory biomarkers, or markers of metabolic organ function, has been associated with risk for, and mortality from, colorectal, pancreatic, postmenopausal breast, and bladder cancers. Metabolic dysfunction associations with breast and colorectal cancer risk have been observed independently of BMI, with increased risk in individuals with metabolically unhealthy normal weight or overweight/obesity compared with metabolically healthy normal weight. CONCLUSION Metabolic dysfunction is a key risk factor for obesity-related cancer, regardless of obesity status. Nonetheless, a harmonized definition of metabolic dysfunction will further clarify the magnitude of the relationship across cancer types, enable better comparisons across studies, and further guide criteria for obesity-related cancer risk stratification.

Abstract
Since the discovery of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in the late past century, cancer research has been overwhelmingly focused on the genetics and biology of tumor cells and hence has addressed mostly cell-autonomous processes with emphasis on traditional driver/passenger genetic models. Nevertheless, over that same period, multiple seminal observations have accumulated highlighting the role of non-cell autonomous effectors in tumor growth and metastasis. However, given that cell autonomous and non-autonomous events are observed together at the time of diagnosis, it is in fact impossible to know whether the malignant transformation is initiated by cell autonomous oncogenic events or by non-cell autonomous conditions generated by alterations of the tissue-body ecosystem. This review aims at addressing this issue by taking the option of defining malignancy as a complex genetic trait incorporating genetically determined reciprocal interactions between tumor cells and tissue-body ecosystem.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) constitutes a group of risk factors that may increase the risk of cancer and other health problems. Nowadays, researchers are focusing on food compounds that could prevent many chronic diseases. Thus, people are shifting from dietary supplements towards healthy nutritional approaches. As a nutritious and natural food source, purple carrot (Daucus carota spp. Sativus var. atrorubens Alef.) roots could have an important role in the prevention of MetS as well as cancer. This review provides deep insight into the role of purple carrot’s main bioactive compounds and their effectiveness against MetS and cancer. Phenolic compounds, such as anthocyanin, present in purple carrot roots may be especially productive in avoiding or delaying the onset of cardiovascular disease (CVDs), obesity, diabetes, and cancer. Anthocyanins and other phenolics are successful in reducing metabolic changes and inflammation by inhibiting inflammatory effects. Many researchers have made efforts to employ this vegetable in the prevention and treatment of MetS and cancer. However, more advanced studies are required for the identification of its detailed role, effectiveness, suitable intake, and the effect of its bioactive compounds against these diseases.

Vitamin D deficiency and tumor aggressiveness in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Endocrine 2022; 75:623-634. [PMID: 34533768 DOI: 10.1007/s12020-021-02869-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2021] [Accepted: 09/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Data regarding vitamin D status in patients affected by gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) neuroendocrine tumor (NET) are limited and often showing contrasting results. The aim of the study was to evaluate the incidence of vitamin D deficiency (<20 ng/mL) in GEP-NET patients and compare the 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels with clinicopathological parameters and clinical outcome. METHODS A retrospective cross-sectional study including 75 low grade (G1-G2) GEP-NETs and 123 healthy controls matched for age, sex, and body mass index, was performed. RESULTS GEP-NET patients had significantly lower 25(OH)D levels compared to controls (17.9 ± 7.8 vs 24.2 ± 7.7 ng/mL, p < 0.0001). Ileal NETs were associated to lower 25(OH)D levels compared to other primary tumor sites (p = 0.049) and small bowel resection posed a significant increased risk of severe vitamin D deficiency (OR = 2.81, 95% CI = 1.25-3.37, p = 0.018). No correlation with somatostatin analogs treatment was found. 25(OH)D levels were significantly lower in G2 compared to G1 GEP-NETs (15.6 ± 7.8 vs 19.9 ± 7.4 ng/mL, p = 0.016) and in patients with progressive disease (12.6 ± 5.7 ng/mL) compared to those with stable disease (mean 21.5 ± 8.2 ng/mL, p = 0.001) or tumor free after surgery (19.6 ± 7.3 ng/mL, p = 0.002). Patients with vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency had shorter progression-free survival compared to those with sufficiency (p = 0.014), whereas no correlation was found with disease-specific survival. CONCLUSIONS Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent among GEP-NETs and could be associated with high tumor grade and disease progression. Therefore, the monitoring of 25(OH)D levels is relevant in these patients and vitamin D supplementation should be considered in the management of GEP-NET patients with vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency.

Abstract
Assessment of endothelial dysfunction in cancer survivors may have a role in the early identification of non-communicable diseases and cardiovascular late effects. Oncological therapies may impair endothelial function. Therefore, in patients such as childhood cancer survivors who could benefit from early cardioprotective pharmacological interventions, it is essential to monitor endothelial function, even if the optimal methodology for investigating the multifaceted aspects of endothelial dysfunction is still under debate. Biochemical markers, as well as invasive and non-invasive tools with and without pharmacological stimuli have been studied. Human clinical studies that have examined lifestyle or cancer treatment protocols have yielded evidence showing the involvement of lipid and lipoprotein levels, glycemic control, blood pressure, adiposity, inflammation, and oxidative stress markers on the state of endothelial health and its role as an early indicator of cardiometabolic risk. However, with regards to pharmacological interventions, cautious interpretation of the result attained whilst monitoring the endothelial function is warranted due to methodological limitations and substantial heterogeneity of the results reported in the published studies. In this narrative review, an overview of evidence from human clinical trials examining the effects of cancer therapies on endothelial disease is provided together with a discussion of endothelial function assessment using the different non-invasive techniques available for researchers and clinicians, in recent years.

Abstract
Mediterranean Diet represents the traditional eating habits of populations living around the Mediterranean Sea, and it is associated with a lower risk of overall mortality and cancer incidence and cardiovascular diseases. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is a new pandemic, and represents a significant and critical threat to global human health. In this study, we aimed to review the possible effects of Mediterranean Diet against the risk of the coronavirus disease 2019. Several vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and phytochemicals with their potential anti-COVID-19 activity are presented. Different risk factors may increase or reduce the probability of contracting the disease. Mediterranean Diet has also a positive action on inflammation and immune system and could have a protective effect against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Further studies are needed to corroborate the benefits of the Mediterranean Diet protective role on infection with SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
The leadership of the Semmelweis University as a leading institution of higher education in Hungary and the Central Eastern European region within the area of medicine and health sciences has decided to reflect on the unfavorable public health situation in the country as well as the deteriorating health behavior and health status indicators in the Hungarian population by the development of an occupational setting-based personalized public health model program targeting its about 8500 employees. Based on its infrastructure and human resources the core element of the program is the establishment of the Center of Preventive Services (CPS) with units providing health risk assessment for each employee, and whenever necessary consultation with medical specialist in preventive medicine and public health, as well as counseling with dietician, physiotherapist and/or health psychologist. The service providers are the staff members of the relevant faculties in collaboration with partner primary and occupational care physicians. The units of the CPS can also serve as practical training sites for students at various levels of medical and health sciences training, and strongly contribute to the development and improvement of their skills to be able for working as a team in service provision. The employees are not only beneficiaries of health risk assessment and screening repeated on a regular basis and adequate interventions at the right time, but they also serve as a sample for a longitudinal cohort study and further ad hoc surveys for defining and implementing interventions to support health protection, disease prevention and healthy aging among them.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM), one of the metabolic diseases which is characterized by sustained hyperglycemia, is a life-threatening disease. The global prevalence of DM is on the rise, mainly in low- and middle-income countries. Diabetes is a major cause of blindness, heart attacks, kidney failure, stroke, and lower limb amputation. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a form of diabetes that is characterized by high blood sugar and insulin resistance. T2DM can be prevented or delayed by a healthy diet, regular physical activity, maintaining normal body weight, and avoiding alcohol and tobacco use. Ethanol and its metabolites can cause differentiation defects in stem cells and promote inflammatory injury and carcinogenesis in several tissues. Recent studies have suggested that diabetes can be treated, and its consequences can be avoided or delayed with proper management. DM has a greater risk for several cancers, such as breast, colorectal, endometrial, pancreatic, gallbladder, renal, and liver cancer. The incidence of cancer is significantly higher in patients with DM than in those without DM. In addition to DM, alcohol abuse is also a risk factor for many cancers. We present a review of the recent studies investigating the association of both DM and alcohol abuse with cancer incidence.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide yet, despite advances in treatment, CVD remains an underestimated and undermanaged condition, with an even greater risk in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitors (SGLT-2i) are a promising novel drug class reported to improve Cardiovascular (CV) and renal outcomes in T2DM. Recent large-scale trials have assessed their CV safety with unexpected findings of multiple systemic benefits that could potentially reverse CVD. In this systematic review, we examined ten Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) that looked at cardiovascular outcomes in Type 2 diabetics and SGLT-2i. The RCTs were appropriately screened, looking for clear primary or secondary outcomes on CV events, and compared with placebo or other antidiabetic drugs. The RCTs had an average sample population studied of 5,549 participants with a mean follow-up time of 2.66 years. Three of the studies focused on CV parameters and risk factors. The remaining had defined CV composite events, and all consistently observed at least one CV benefit when using SGLT-2i. Our review of SGLT-2i in Type 2 diabetics showed the greatest benefit in reducing Heart Failure (HF) exacerbation and modest lowering of CV complications in high CV risk participants. Overall, there is still uncertainty about the exact mechanisms of SGLT-2i in their CV benefit, and whether they would favor pre-diabetic populations and those at earlier stages of CVD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study examined the associations between metabolic syndrome(MetS), obesity, their combination as a metabolic obesity phenotype, and the risk of breast cancer in East Asian postmenopausal women. METHODS A total of 3,095,336 postmenopausal cancer-free women aged 40-79 years who underwent the National Health Insurance Service health examination between 2009 and 2010 were included. The incidence of invasive breast cancer was followed up until 2018. The presence of obesity (body mass index[BMI] ≥25 kg/m2), MetS, and each component of MetS was investigated. RESULTS Obesity and MetS were associated with breast cancer risk, but when the effects of obesity and MetS were mutually adjusted, the associations were attenuated, especially for MetS. Only elevated fasting blood glucose levels and waist circumference increased the risk of breast cancer after adjusting for BMI. Compared to metabolically healthy normal-weight women, metabolically unhealthy normal-weight women, metabolically healthy obese, and metabolically unhealthy obese women had an increased risk of breast cancer. CONCLUSIONS Obesity and MetS were independently associated with an increased risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal women, despite the relationship between MetS and breast cancer appearing to result from a partial association with BMI. Postmenopausal women should be encouraged to control their weight and metabolic health.

Abstract
Purpose Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is characterized by abdominal obesity, hyperglycaemia, dyslipidaemia and hypertension. FTO gene has been implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity, but the available scientific data concerning their relationship to antipsychotic drug-induced obesity and metabolic syndrome is still incomplete and inconsistent, which indicates that continuing the investigation of this gene’s role is necessary. Patients and Methods In the present study, 517 patients with schizophrenia underwent antipsychotic drug treatment, and two groups were identified: patients with MetS and without MetS. Genotyping of 6 SNPs in the FTO gene was performed, and the results analyzed using R-programme. Results We performed a statistical analysis to identify possible associations of the frequencies of genotypes and alleles of the studied polymorphisms with the presence of metabolic syndrome in schizophrenia patients, with the presence of abdominal obesity, and with an increased body mass index. The rs7185735 polymorphism did not meet the Hardy-Weinberg criterion and was excluded. After correcting for differences in age, gender and duration of illnesses, none of the variants was shown to be related to metabolic syndrome or abdominal obesity, but rs9939609, rs1421085, rs3751812 and rs8050136 were associated with body mass index. Conclusion The present study provides additional support for these SNP’s roles as a pharmacogenetic biomarker that may become useful in the framework of the personalized medicine approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A cluster of many risk factors for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease is used to describe the metabolic syndrome (MetS). Moreover, genetic differences associated with metabolic syndrome play a key role in its prevalence and side effects. This study aims to investigate the expression of DYRK1B and its association with metabolic syndrome in a small cohort of Egyptian. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 100 adult Egyptians (50 with MetS and 50 healthy control subjects) were included to this study. Clinical, biochemical and anthropometric analysis were assessed. Relative gene expressions of DYRK1B were compared between two groups of subjects using real time PCR. RESULTS We observed marked overexpression in DYRK1B (p < 0.05) in MetS subjects when compared with the healthy control subjects. CONCLUSION This is the first study to provide evidence that DYRK1B is highly expressed among the MetS subjects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are limited evidences clarifying the impact of metabolic syndrome (MS) and its components on head and neck cancer (HNC) incidence risk. We explored the correlation between MS, MS components, and the combined effects of MS and C-reactive protein (CRP) and HNC risk. METHODS This is a prospective analysis of 474,929 participants from the UK Biobank cohort. Cox proportional hazard regression was utilized to assess the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) and to explore the non-linear correlation between an individual MS component and HNC risk. RESULTS Individuals with MS (HR, 1.05; 95%CI, 0.90-1.22) had no higher HNC risk than those without MS. More MS components showed no higher HNC risk. Nevertheless, hyperglycemia (HR, 1.22; 95%CI, 1.02-1.45) was independently correlated with elevated HNC risk. In a non-linear manner, waist circumference and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) showed a U-shaped association with HNC risk. Further, piecewise linear model analysis indicated that higher male waist circumference, female waist circumference (≥93.16 cm), blood glucose (≥4.70 mmol/L) and male HDL-C (≥1.26mmo/L), and lower male HDL-C (<1.26mmo/L) were correlated with higher HNC risk. Increased CRP (≥1.00mg/dL) elevated HNC risk and individuals with MS and CRP≥1.00mg/dL had the highest HNC risk (HR, 1.29; 95%CI, 1.05-1.58). But no joint effect between MS and CRP was detected (p-interaction=0.501). CONCLUSIONS MS are not correlated with elevated HNC risk. High waist circumference and blood glucose are independent risk factor of HNC incidence. Controlling HDL-C in an appropriate range can get the lowest risk of male HNC. No joint effect of MS and CRP exists in HNC tumorigenesis.

Sustainable Behavior Change for Health Supported by Person-Tailored, Adaptive, Risk-Aware Digital Coaching in a Social Context: Study Protocol for the STAR-C Research Programme. Front Public Health 2021; 9:593453. [PMID: 33732674 PMCID: PMC7957003 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2021.593453] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2020] [Accepted: 02/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction: The Västerbotten Intervention Programme (VIP) in the Region Västerbotten Sweden is one of the very few cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention programmes globally that is integrated into routine primary health care. The VIP has been shown as a cost-effective intervention to significantly reduce CVD mortality. However, little is known about the effectiveness of a digital solution to tailor risk communication strategies for supporting behavioral change. STAR-C aims to develop and evaluate a technical platform for personalized digital coaching that will support behavioral change aimed at preventing CVD. Methods: STAR-C employs a mixed-methods design in seven multidisciplinary projects, which runs in two phases during 2019–2024: (i) a formative intervention design and development phase, and (ii) an intervention implementation and evaluation phase. In the 1st phase, STAR-C will model the trajectories of health behaviors and their impact on CVDs (Project 1), evaluate the role of the social environment and social networks on behavioral change (Project 2) and assess whether and how social media facilitates the spread of health information beyond targeted individuals and stimulates public engagement in health promotion (Project 3). The findings will be utilized in carrying out the iterative, user-centered design, and development of a person-tailored digital coaching platform (Project 4). In the 2nd phase, STAR-C will evaluate the implementation of the coaching programme and its effectiveness for promoting behavioral change and the spreading of health information across social networks and via social media (Project 5). The cost-effectiveness (Project 6) and ethical issues (Project 7) related to the coaching programme intervention will be evaluated. Discussion: The STAR-C research programme will address the knowledge and practice research gaps in the use of information technologies in health promotion and non-communicable disease (NCD) prevention programmes in order to narrow the health inequality gaps. Ethics: STAR-C has received approval from the Swedish Ethical Review Authority (Dnr. 2019-02924;2020-02985). Dissemination: The collaboration between Umeå University and Region Västerbotten will ensure the feasibility of STAR-C in the service delivery context. Results will be communicated with decision-makers at different levels of society, stakeholders from other regions and healthcare professional organizations, and through NGOs, local and social media platforms.

Cardiometabolic risk factors and survival after cancer in the Women's Health Initiative. Cancer 2021; 127:598-608. [PMID: 33151547 PMCID: PMC10448774 DOI: 10.1002/cncr.33295] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2020] [Revised: 10/05/2020] [Accepted: 10/06/2020] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiometabolic abnormalities are a leading cause of death among women, including women with cancer. METHODS This study examined the association between prediagnosis cardiovascular health and total and cause-specific mortality among 12,076 postmenopausal women who developed local- or regional-stage invasive cancer in the Women's Health Initiative (WHI). Cardiovascular risk factors included waist circumference, hypertension, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes. Obesity-related cancers included breast cancer, colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, kidney cancer, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) adjusted for important predictors of survival. RESULTS After a median follow-up of 10.0 years from the date of the cancer diagnosis, there were 3607 total deaths, with 1546 (43%) due to cancer. Most participants (62.9%) had 1 or 2 cardiometabolic risk factors, and 8.1% had 3 or 4. In adjusted models, women with 3 to 4 risk factors (vs none) had a higher risk of all-cause mortality (HR, 1.99; 95% CI, 1.73-2.30), death due to cardiovascular disease (CVD) (HR, 4.01; 95% CI, 2.88-5.57), cancer-specific mortality (HR, 1.37; 95% CI, 1.1-1.72), and other-cause mortality (HR, 2.14; 95% CI, 1.70-2.69). A higher waist circumference was associated with greater all-cause mortality (HR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.06-1.30) and cancer-specific mortality (HR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.04-1.42). CONCLUSIONS Among postmenopausal women diagnosed with cancer in the WHI, cardiometabolic risk factors before the cancer diagnosis were associated with greater all-cause, CVD, cancer-specific, and other-cause mortality. These results raise hypotheses regarding potential clinical intervention strategies targeting cardiometabolic abnormalities that require future prospective studies for confirmation. LAY SUMMARY This study uses information from the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) to find out whether cardiac risk factors are related to a greater risk of dying among older women with cancer. The WHI is the largest study of medical problems faced by older women in this country. The results show that women who have 3 or 4 risk factors are more likely to die of any cause, heart disease, or cancer in comparison with women with no risk factors. It is concluded that interventions to help to lower the burden of cardiac risk factors can have an important impact on survivorship among women with cancer.

Abstract
Adropin is a peptide hormone, which plays a role in energy homeostasis and controls glucose and fatty acid metabolism. Its levels correlate with changes in carbohydrate-lipid metabolism, metabolic diseases, central nervous system function, endothelial function and cardiovascular disease. Both metabolic pathways and adropin are regulated by the circadian clocks. Here, we review the roles of the autonomic nervous system and circadian rhythms in regulating metabolic pathways and energy homeostasis. The beneficial effects of chronotherapy in various systems are discussed. We suggest a potential role for adropin as a mediator of the metabolic system-autonomic nervous system axis. We discuss the possibility of establishing an individualized adropin and circadian rhythm-based platform for implementing chronotherapy, and variability signatures for improving the efficacy of adropin-based therapies are discussed.

Age-adjusted mortality from pancreatic cancer increased NINE-FOLD in japan from 1950 to 1995 - Was a low-protein quasi-vegan diet a key factor in their former low risk? Med Hypotheses 2021; 149:110518. [PMID: 33582316 DOI: 10.1016/j.mehy.2021.110518] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2021] [Accepted: 01/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
During the last half of the twentieth century, age-adjusted mortality from pancreatic cancer in Japan rose about nine-fold in both sexes. Well-characterized risk factors such as smoking, obesity/metabolic syndrome, and heavy alcohol use appear to explain only a modest part of this rise. It is proposed that a diet relatively low in protein, and particularly low in animal protein, was a key determinant of the low risk for pancreatic cancer in mid-century Japan. It is further proposed that pancreatic acinar cells, owing to their extraordinarily high rate of protein synthesis, are at high risk for ER stress; that such stress plays a fundamental role in the induction of most pancreatic cancers; and that low-protein diets help to offset such stress by modulating activities of the kinases GCN2 and mTORC1 while increasing autocrine and systemic production of fibroblast growth factor 21. This model appears to clarify the role of various risk factors and protective factors in pancreatic cancer induction. A vegan or quasi-vegan low-protein diet may have broader potential for decreasing risk for a range of common "Western" cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dietary regimens have so far been studied as possible determinants of semen quality and fertility. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a Mediterranean diet, as compared with a low-fat diet, on seminal parameters of young healthy adults from southern Italy. METHODS In a randomized controlled trial, 160 young adults aged 18-30 years were assigned to Mediterranean diet (N.=80) or a low-fat diet (N.=80). The primary outcome measures were changes in semen parameters after six months. RESULTS Mean age of participants in the study was 24.7 years. There was no difference in baseline semen parameters of men randomized to Mediterranean diet or low-fat diet. After the entire follow-up, participants in both groups showed a significant increase in sperm concentration and sperm total count, with significant differences favoring the Mediterranean diet group (sperm concentration, 1.93 M/mL 95% CI [1.22 to 3.64], P=0.027; total sperm count 8.02 M 95% CI [1.51 to 15.45], P=0.035). No differences in other semen parameters were found between groups. CONCLUSIONS In healthy young adults, the consumption of Mediterranean diet was associated with an improvement of both sperm concentration and total count, as compared with a low-fat diet.

Abstract
Background: This meta-analysis was aimed to quantitatively assess the associations of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components with colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods: PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science databases were systematically searched for eligible studies. A total of 18 studies for CRC incidence and 12 studies for CRC mortality were identified. Results: MetS was associated with an increased risk of CRC incidence and mortality in male (RR: 1.28, 95 % CI 1.16-1.39, and 1.24, 1.18-1.31, respectively) and correlated with an increased risk of CRC incidence in female (RR: 1.21, 1.13-1.30), but not with CRC mortality in female. MetS increased the risk of cancer-specific mortality (RR: 1.72, 1.03-2.42), but not overall mortality. The risk estimates of CRC incidence changed little depending on age, sex, cancer site, the type of studies, ethnicity, publication year, or definition of MetS. As for CRC mortality, further stratified analyses indicated statistical significance in studies with assessing cancer-specific survival outcome, in male, a cohort design, ethnicity of non-Chinese or with definition of MetS as ≥ 3 metabolic abnormalities. Obesity and hyperglycemia are risk factors of CRC incidence in both male and female. Only dysglycemia is the risk factor for CRC mortality. Conclusions: MetS is associated with an increased risk of CRC incidence and cancer-specific mortality, but not overall mortality. In addition, MetS may increase the CRC mortality in male rather than in female. However, since most of the studies on CRC mortality were conducted in Chinese, further studies are needed to clarify this connection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to assess the effect of metabolic syndrome (MetS) on incident oral potentially malignant disorder (OPMD). DESIGN We conducted a prospective cohort study of the Changhua community-based integrated screening (CHCIS) programme and nationwide oral cancer screening programme during the period between 2005 and 2014. SETTING CHCIS, Taiwan. PARTICIPANTS We enrolled 17 590 participants aged 30 years and older. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES We assessed the impact of MetS on the outcome measured by incident OPMD. RESULTS The incidences of OPMD among subjects with and without MetS were 7.68 ‰ and 5.38 ‰, respectively. After adjusting for confounders, subjects with MetS exhibited a statistically greater risk of developing OPMD compared with those who were free of MetS by 33% (adjusted rate ratio, aRR=1.33, 95% CI 1.14 to 1.55). Individual components of MetS still remained significant, including central obesity (aRR=1.22, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.44), hypertriglyceridaemia (aRR=1.26, 95% CI 1.07 to 1.49) and hyperglycaemia (aRR=1.20, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.41). Central obesity and hypertriglyceridaemia were also statistically associated with a subtype of OPMD, namely, leukoplakia. CONCLUSION The temporal influence of MetS on the risk of incident OPMD was noted in our prospective cohort study. Therefore, promoting an MetS prevention and control programme might reduce the occurrence of OPMD and oral cancer.

Abstract
Untargeted metabolomics is expected to lead to a better mechanistic understanding of diseases and thus applications of precision medicine and personalized intervention. To further increase metabolite coverage and achieve high accuracy of metabolite quantification, the present proof-of-principle study was to explore the applicability of integration of two-dimensional gas and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC × GC-MS and 2DLC-MS) platforms to characterizing circulating polar metabolome extracted from plasma collected from 29 individuals with colorectal cancer in comparison with 29 who remained cancer-free. After adjustment of multiple comparisons, 20 metabolites were found to be up-regulated and 8 metabolites were found to be down-regulated, which pointed to the dysregulation in energy metabolism and protein synthesis. While integrating the GC × GC-MS and 2DLC-MS data can dramatically increase the metabolite coverage, this study had a limitation in analyzing the non-polar metabolites. Given the small sample size, these results need to be validated with a larger sample size and with samples collected prior to diagnostic and treatment. Nevertheless, this proof-of-principle study demonstrates the potential applicability of integration of these advanced analytical platforms to improve discrimination between colorectal cancer cases and controls based on metabolite profiles in future studies.

Abstract
We conducted the study to investigate the association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and acquired premature ejaculation (APE). From January 2017 to December 2019, 1,000 subjects, 500 men with APE (APE group) and 500 men without APE (control group), were selected. Self-estimated intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) and Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT) were recorded from each participant to evaluate APE. Detailed physical examinations, body composition analysis and blood tests were all assessed. The neck circumference, waist circumference, visceral fat rating, fat mass, fasting blood glucose (FBG) and highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in the APE group were significantly higher than the control group (p < .05 for all). Furthermore, the APE population had a higher prevalence of MetS than the control group (49.4% versus 35.6%, p = .000). Consistent results could also be observed in terms of the number of MetS components and each component of the MetS (both p < .05). Moreover, both the prevalence of APE and the severity of PE increased significantly as the number of MetS components increased. Finally, in the multivariate analysis, we found that both MetS and hs-CRP were independent risk factors for APE (both p < .01). The results indicated that APE was related to MetS but not its components.

Influence of Metabolic Syndrome on Risk of Breast Cancer: A Study Analyzing Nationwide Data from Korean National Health Insurance Service. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 2020; 29:2038-2047. [PMID: 32763912 DOI: 10.1158/1055-9965.epi-20-0300] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2020] [Revised: 04/22/2020] [Accepted: 07/29/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the influence of metabolic syndrome and its components on the risk of breast cancer. METHODS Retrospective nationwide cohort study analyzing data of 13,377,349 women older than 19 years from Korean National Health Insurance Service was performed. Cox proportional hazards model was used to calculate HR and 95% confidence interval (CI) of breast cancer risk. RESULTS The presence of metabolic syndrome decreased the risk of all breast cancer types in all subjects (HR, 0.954; 95% CI, 0.939-0.970). In women with age ≤50 years, metabolic syndrome decreased the risk of all breast cancer types, with similar findings for all subject groups (HR, 0.915; 95% CI, 0.892-0.939). In women with age >50 years, metabolic syndrome increased the risk of all breast cancer types (HR, 1.146; 95% CI, 1.123-1.170), especially in age groups of more than 55 years. In women with age >50 years, HRs increased as the number of metabolic syndrome components increased, while HRs decreased as the number of metabolic syndrome components increased in women with age ≤50 years. CONCLUSIONS The presence of metabolic syndrome increased the risk of breast cancers in postmenopausal women, but decreased the risk in premenopausal women. Every metabolic syndrome component played similar roles on the risk of breast cancer as metabolic syndrome, and their effects became stronger when the number of components increased. IMPACT Metabolic syndrome is associated with the risk of breast cancer having different effect according to age groups.

Aspirin Modifies Inflammatory Mediators and Metabolomic Profiles and Contributes to the Suppression of Obesity-Associated Breast Cancer Cell Growth. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21134652. [PMID: 32629916 PMCID: PMC7369784 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21134652] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2020] [Revised: 06/24/2020] [Accepted: 06/29/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Adiposity generally accompanies immune cell infiltration and cytokine secretion, which is ideal for tumor development. Aspirin is a chemopreventive agent against several types of cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate whether aspirin inhibits the growth of 4T1 breast cancer cells by inhibiting the inflammatory response and regulating the metabolomic profile of 3T3-L1 adipocytes. 3T3-L1 adipocyte-conditioned medium (Ad-CM) was used to mimic the obese adipose tissue microenvironment in 4T1 cells. The results revealed that aspirin inhibited macrophage chemoattractant protein (MCP-1), interleukin (IL-6), IL-1β, and plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) production in 3T3-L1 adipocytes stimulated by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In the obesity-associated model, Ad-CM significantly promoted 4T1 cell growth and migration, which were attenuated after aspirin treatment. The results of metabolic analyses using Ad-CM showed that amino acid metabolites and oxidative stress were increased in mature 3T3-L1 adipocytes compared to those in fibroblasts. Aspirin treatment modified metabolites involved in suppressing lipogenesis, oxidative stress, and neoplastic formation. In the relative fatty acid quantitation analysis of Ad-CM, aspirin diminished fatty acid contents of C16:1, C18:1, C18:2, C20:4, and C24:1. This study is the first to show that aspirin modifies the metabolomics and fatty acid composition of 3T3-L1 adipocytes and inhibits obesity-associated inflammation that contributes to obesity-related breast cancer cell growth and migration.

Abstract
Several studies have reported an association between hypertension and upper aerodigestive tract cancer, but no large-scale, population-based studies have been conducted to confirm this.The aim of this study was to explore the association between hypertension and risk of upper aerodigestive tract cancer in Koreans. Participants who underwent a national health screening examination from January 1 to December 31, 2009 (n = 9,746,606) were enrolled. We assessed the development of oral, laryngeal, or esophageal cancer until 2016 using records from the Korean Health Insurance claims database during the study period. During the seven-year follow-up period, 6,062, 2,658, and 4,752 subjects were newly diagnosed with oral, laryngeal, and esophageal cancer, respectively. Participants with metabolic syndrome had the highest risk of developing oral cancer (hazard ratio (HR) 1.09, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.03-1.16), laryngeal cancer (HR 1.27, 95% CI 1.17-1.38), and esophageal cancer (HR 1.11, 95% CI 1.04-1.19). Hypertension was a remarkable risk factor for each cancer (HR 1.11, 95% CI 1.04-1.17 for oral cancer; HR 1.23, 95% CI 1.13-1.33 for laryngeal cancer; HR 1.25, 95% CI 1.18-1.33 for esophageal cancer) after adjusting for age and other variables including gender, smoking status, alcohol intake, exercise, body mass index, and diabetes. Patients with untreated hypertension were at highest risk of developing oral cancer (HR 1.15; 95% CI 1.05-1.26), laryngeal cancer (HR 1.25; 95% CI 1.09-1.44), and esophageal cancer (HR 1.47; 95% CI 1.33-1.63) after adjusting for confounders. Hypertension was associated with the risk of oral, laryngeal, and esophageal cancer, despite of the lack of detailed biochemical information including the cancer cell types (squamous cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma), cancer stage, physical findings and other medical history. Further studies are warranted to determine the reasons for this association and to establish effective interventions in this vulnerable population.

Abstract
Cancer and cardiovascular diseases are globally the leading causes of mortality and morbidity. These conditions are closely related, beyond that of sharing many risk factors. The term bidirectional relationship indicates that cardiovascular diseases increase the likelihood of getting cancer and vice versa. The biological and biochemical pathways underlying this close relationship will be analyzed. In this new overlapping scenario, physical activity and exercise are proven protective behaviors against both cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Many observational studies link an increase in physical activity to a reduction in either the development or progression of cancer, as well as to a reduction in risk in cardiovascular diseases, a non-negligible cause of death for long-term cancer survivors. Exercise is an effective tool for improving cardio-respiratory fitness, quality of life, psychological wellbeing, reducing fatigue, anxiety and depression. Finally, it can counteract the toxic effects of cancer therapy. The protection obtained from physical activity and exercise will be discussed in the various stages of the cancer continuum, from diagnosis, to adjuvant therapy, and from the metastatic phase to long-term effects. Particular attention will be paid to the shelter against chemotherapy, radiotherapy, cardiovascular risk factors or new onset cardiovascular diseases. Cardio-Oncology Rehabilitation is an exercise-based multi-component intervention, starting from the model of Cardiac Rehabilitation, with few modifications, to improve care and the prognosis of a patient's cancer. The network of professionals dedicated to Cardiac Rehabilitation is a ready-to-use resource, for implementing Cardio-Oncology Rehabilitation.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has the capacity to revolutionize numerous fields and processes, however, exposure-induced health effects are of concern. The majority of nanoparticle (NP) safety evaluations have been performed utilizing healthy models and have demonstrated the potential for pulmonary toxicity. A growing proportion of individuals suffer diseases that may enhance their susceptibility to exposures. Specifically, metabolic syndrome (MetS) is increasingly prevalent and is a risk factor for the development of chronic diseases including type-2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. MetS is a combination of conditions which includes dyslipidemia, obesity, hypertension, and insulin resistance. Due to the role of lipids in inflammatory signaling, we hypothesize that MetS-associated dyslipidemia may modulate NP-induced immune responses. To examine this hypothesis, mice were fed either a control diet or a high-fat western diet (HFWD) for 14-weeks. A subset of mice were treated with atorvastatin for the final 7-weeks to modulate lipids. Mice were exposed to silver NPs (AgNPs) via oropharyngeal aspiration and acute toxicity endpoints were evaluated 24-h post-exposure. Mice on the HFWD demonstrated MetS-associated alterations such as increased body weight and cholesterol compared to control-diet mice. Cytometry analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) demonstrated exacerbation of AgNP-induced neutrophilic influx in MetS mice compared to healthy. Additionally, enhanced proinflammatory mRNA expression and protein levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, macrophage inflammatory protein-2, and interleukin-6 were observed in MetS mice compared to healthy following exposure. AgNP exposure reduced mRNA expression of enzymes involved in lipid metabolism, such as arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase and arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase in both mouse models. Exposure to AgNPs decreased inducible nitric oxide synthase gene expression in MetS mice. An exploratory lipidomic profiling approach was utilized to screen lipid mediators involved in pulmonary inflammation. This assessment indicates the potential for reduced levels of lipids mediators of inflammatory resolution (LMIR) in the MetS model compared to healthy mice following AgNP exposure. Statin treatment inhibited enhanced inflammatory responses as well as alterations in LMIR observed in the MetS model due to AgNP exposure. Taken together our data suggests that MetS exacerbates the acute toxicity induced by AgNPs exposure possibly via a disruption of LMIR leading to enhanced pulmonary inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-hepatitis C virus (HCV)-coinfected patients are at high risk of metabolic complications and liver-related events, which are both associated with hepatic steatosis and its progressive form, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, a known risk factor for mortality. The fatty liver index (FLI), a noninvasive steatosis biomarker, has recently drawn attention for its clinical prognostic value, although its capacity to predict mortality risk in HIV-HCV-coinfected patients has never been investigated. Using a Cox proportional hazards model for mortality from all causes, with data from the French National Agency for Research on Aids and Viral Hepatitis CO13 HEPAVIH cohort (983 patients, 4,432 visits), we tested whether elevated FLI (≥60) was associated with all-cause mortality. APPROACH AND RESULTS After multiple adjustment, individuals with FLI ≥ 60 had almost double the risk of all-cause mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [95% confidence interval], 1.91 [1.17-3.12], P = 0.009), independently of the following factors: HCV cure (0.21 [0.07-0.61], P = 0.004), advanced fibrosis (1.77 [1.00-3.14], P = 0.05), history of hepatocellular carcinoma and/or liver transplantation (7.74 [3.82-15.69], P < 10-3 ), history of indirect clinical signs of cirrhosis (2.80 [1.22-6.41], P = 0.015), and HIV Centers for Disease Control and Prevention clinical stage C (2.88 [1.74-4.79], P < 10-3 ). CONCLUSIONS An elevated FLI (≥60) is a risk factor for all-cause mortality in HIV-HCV-coinfected patients independently of liver fibrosis and HCV cure. In the present era of nearly 100% HCV cure rates thanks to direct-acting antivirals, these findings encourage the more systematic use of noninvasive steatosis biomarkers to help identify coinfected patients with higher mortality risk.

Abstract
Over the past decade, the search for dietary factors on which to base cancer prevention guidelines has led to the rapid expansion of the field of dietary patterns and cancer. Multiple systematic reviews and meta-analyses have reported epidemiological associations between specific cancer types and both data-driven dietary patterns determined by empirical analyses and investigator-defined dietary indexes based on a predetermined set of dietary components. New developments, such as the use of metabolomics to identify objective biomarkers of dietary patterns and novel statistical techniques, could provide further insights into the links between diet and cancer risk. Although animal models of dietary patterns are limited, progress in this area could identify the potential mechanisms underlying the disease-specific associations observed in epidemiological studies. In this Review, we summarize the current state of the field, provide a critical appraisal of new developments and identify priority areas for future research. An underlying theme that emerges is that the effectiveness of different dietary pattern recommendations in reducing risk could depend on the type of cancer or on other risk factors such as family history, sex, age and other lifestyle factors or comorbidities as well as on metabolomic signatures or gut microbiota profiles.
