Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common disease with no targeted therapy and has varied outcomes ranging from spontaneous resolution to being lethal. Although typically painful, AP can also be painless. Various agents, including opioids, are used for pain control in AP; the risks and benefits of which are often debated. As experimental AP in mice is used to study the efficacy of potential therapies, we studied the effect of a commonly used opioid, buprenorphine, on the initiation and progression of AP. For this, we administered extended-release buprenorphine subcutaneously before inducing the previously established severe AP model that uses interleukins 12 and 18 (IL12,18) in genetically obese (ob/ob) mice and compared this to mice with AP but without the drug. Mice were monitored over 3 days, and parameters of AP induction and progression were compared. Buprenorphine significantly reduced serum amylase, lipase, pancreatic necrosis, and AP-associated fat necrosis, which is ubiquitous in obese mice and humans. Buprenorphine delayed the AP-associated reduction of carotid artery pulse distention and the development of hypothermia, hastened renal injury, and muted the early increase in respiratory rate versus IL12,18 alone. The site of buprenorphine injection appeared erythematous, inflamed, and microscopically showed thinning, loss of epidermal layers that had increased apoptosis. In summary, subcutaneous extended-release buprenorphine interfered with the induction of AP by reducing serum amylase, lipase, pancreatic and fat necrosis, the worsening of AP by delaying hypotension, hypothermia, while hastening renal injury, respiratory depression, and causing cutaneous injury at the site of injection.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Extended-release buprenorphine interferes with the initiation and progression of acute pancreatitis at multiple levels.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease characterized by localized pancreatic injury and a systemic inflammatory response. Fatty acids (FAs), produced during the breakdown of triglycerides (TGs) in blood and peripancreatic fat, escalate local pancreatic inflammation to a systemic level by damaging pancreatic acinar cells (PACs) and triggering M1 macrophage polarization. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of lipases' roles in the onset and progression of AP, as well as the effects of long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) on the function of pancreatic acinar cells (PACs). Abnormalities in the function of PACs include Ca2+ overload, premature trypsinogen activation, protein kinase C (PKC) expression, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and mitochondrial and autophagic dysfunction. The study highlights the contribution of long-chain saturated fatty acids (LC-SFAs), especially palmitic acid (PA), to M1 macrophage polarization through the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and the NF-κB pathway. Furthermore, we investigated lipid lowering therapy for AP. This review establishes a theoretical foundation for pro-inflammatory mechanisms associated with FAs in AP and facilitating drug development.

Abstract
Heptadecanoic acid (C17:0), an odd-chain saturated fatty acid (OCSFA) in ruminant lipid, has been demonstrated to be potential for treating cancers. Our results also showed that sheep tail fat (STF) with higher level of C17:0-containing saturated fatty acids (SFAs) whereas lower level of oleic acid (C18:1), performed remarkable inhibition against non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. To enrich the content of C17:0, a C17:0-rich SFA concentrate (HRSC) was prepared from STF by solvent crystallization and urea complexation methods (hexane/STF = 3.5/1, 4 °C for 8 h, and 80% ethanol/urea/free fatty acids = 8/1/1, 4 °C for 6 h). The content of C17:0 was up from 3.02 to 6.34% and the recovery was 4.17%. Biological experiments showed that HRSC exerted better antiproliferative effect against NSCLC cells. Moreover, HRSC performed enhanced inhibitory effect in A549 cell xenograft mouse model. Therefore, HRSC has the potential to be applied in adjuvant therapy for NSCLC.

Visceral adiposity associated with incidence and development trajectory of cardiometabolic diseases: A prospective cohort study. Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2024; 34:1235-1244. [PMID: 38331642 DOI: 10.1016/j.numecd.2023.12.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2023] [Revised: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 12/25/2023] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS There is a lack of literature concerning the effects of visceral adipose on the development of first cardiometabolic disease (FCMD) and its subsequent progression to cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) and mortality. METHODS AND RESULTS 423,934 participants from the UK Biobank with different baseline disease conditions were included in the analysis. CMM was defined as the simultaneous presence of coronary heart disease, T2D, and stroke. Visceral adiposity was estimated by calculating the visceral adiposity index (VAI). Multistate models were used to assess the effect of visceral adiposity on the development of CMM. During a median follow-up of 13.5 years, 50,589 patients had at least one CMD, 6131 were diagnosed with CMM, whereas 24,634 patients died. We observed distinct roles of VAI with respect to different disease transitions of CMM. HRs (95 % CIs) of high VAI were 2.35 (2.29-2.42) and 1.64 (1.50-1.79) for transitions from healthy to FCMD and from FCMD to CMM, and 0.97 (0.93-1.02) for all-cause mortality risk from healthy, FCMD and CMM, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our study provides the first evidence that visceral adipose may contribute to the development of FCMD and CMM in healthy participants. However, visceral adipose may confer resistance to all-cause mortality in participants with existing CMD or CMM. A better understanding of the relationship between visceral adipose and CMM can focalize further investigations on patients with CMD with high levels of visceral fat and help take targeted preventive measures to reduce the medical burden on individual patients and society.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP) is the most common type of acute pancreatitis. However, the effect of serum triglyceride (TG) levels on the severity of ABP remains unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between serum TG levels and the severity of ABP. METHODS Data from 526 ABP patients was analyzed in this study. The patients were divided into normal and elevated groups according to the TG level measured within 24 h after admission, and the elevated group was further divided into mild, moderate, and severe elevated groups. The demographic data and clinical outcomes of each group were compared. RESULTS Of the 526 ABP patients, 394 were in the normal TG group and 132 were in the elevated TG group (36 mild, 57 moderate, and 39 severe). The elevated group was younger (51.5 ± 12.9 vs. 58.9 ± 13.9), predominantly male (66.7% vs. 45.2%), had more history of diabetes (22.7% vs. 12.4%) and hyperlipidemia (19.7% vs. 0.8%), and developed systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) (25.8% vs. 15.5%), persistent organ failure (POF) (11.4% vs. 2.8%), and local complications (62.9% vs. 42.1%) more frequently compared to the normal group (P < 0.05). The incidence of SIRS, POF, acute peripancreatic fluid collection (APFC), and acute necrotic collection (ANC) increased with increasing TG levels (Ptrend < 0.05). In multivariate analysis, TG was independently associated with POF, APFC, and ANC in increments of 100 mg/dl (P < 0.05), and there was a linear relationship between TG levels and POF, APFC, and ANC (non-linear P > 0.05, P overall <0.05). In addition, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is not a risk factor for POF, ANC, and APFC in ABP patients. CONCLUSIONS Elevated serum TG levels were independently associated with more severe ABP. The incidence of POF, APFC, and ANC in ABP patients increased with the increase of TG levels, with a linear relationship.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Triglyceride (TG), triglyceride-glucose index (TyG), body mass index (BMI), TyG-BMI and triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein ratio (TG/HDL) have been reported to be reliable predictors of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. However, there are few studies on potential predictors of non-alcoholic fatty pancreas disease (NAFPD). Our aim was to evaluate these and other parameters for predicting NAFPD. DESIGN Cross-sectional study design. SETTING Physical examination centre of a tertiary hospital in China. PARTICIPANTS This study involved 1774 subjects who underwent physical examinations from January 2016 to September 2016. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES From each subject, data were collected for 13 basic physical examination and blood biochemical parameters: age, weight, height, BMI, TyG, TyG-BMI, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein, total cholesterol, TG, fasting plasma glucose, TG/HDL and uric acid. NAFPD was diagnosed by abdominal ultrasonography. A logistic regression model with a restricted cubic spline was used to evaluate the relationship between each parameter and NAFPD. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to calculate the area under the curve for each parameter. RESULTS HDL was negatively correlated with NAFPD, height was almost uncorrelated with NAFPD and the remaining 11 parameters were positively correlated with NAFPD. ROC curve showed that weight-related parameters (weight, BMI and TyG-BMI) and TG-related parameters (TyG, TG and TG/HDL) had high predictive values for the identification of NAFPD. The combinations of multiple parameters had a better prediction effect than a single parameter. All the predictive effects did not differ by sex. CONCLUSIONS Weight-related and TG-related parameters are good predictors of NAFPD in all populations. BMI showed the greatest predictive potential. Multiparameter combinations appear to be a good way to predict NAFPD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most studied chemoprophylaxis for post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis (PEP). While previous systematic reviews have shown NSAIDs reduce PEP, their impact on moderate to severe PEP (MSPEP) is unclear. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to understand the impact of NSAIDs on MSPEP among patients who developed PEP. We later surveyed physicians' understanding of that impact. DESIGN A systematic search for randomized trials using NSAIDs for PEP prevention was conducted. Pooled-prevalence and Odds-ratio of PEP, MSPEP were compared between treated vs. control groups. Analysis was performed using R software. Random-effects model was used for all variables. Physicians were surveyed via email before and after reviewing our results. RESULTS 7688 patients in 25 trials were included. PEP was significantly reduced to 0.598 (95%CI, 0.47-0.76) in the NSAIDs group. Overall burden of MSPEP was reduced among all patients undergoing ERCP: OR 0.59 (95%CI, 0.42-0.83). However, NSAIDs didn't affect the proportion of MSPEP among those who developed PEP (p = 0.658). Rectal Indomethacin and diclofenac reduced PEP but not MSPEP. Efficacy didn't vary by risk, timing of administration, or bias-risk. Survey revealed a change in the impression of the effect of NSAIDs on MSPEP after reviewing our results. CONCLUSIONS Rectal diclofenac or indomethacin before or after ERCP reduce the overall burden of MSPEP by reducing the pool of PEP from which it can arise. However, the proportion of MSPEP among patients who developed PEP is unaffected. Therefore, NSAIDs prevent initiation of PEP, but do not affect severity among those that develop PEP. Alternative modalities are needed to reduce MSPEP among patients who develop PEP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a dangerous condition with a high mortality rate. Many studies have found an association between adipokines and the development of SAP, but the results are controversial. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis of the association of inflammatory adipokines with SAP. METHODS We screened PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and Cochrane Library for articles on adipokines and SAP published before July 20, 2023. The quality of the literature was assessed using QUADAS criteria. Standardized mean differences (SMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated to assess the combined effect. Subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis and publication bias tests were also performed on the information obtained. RESULT Fifteen eligible studies included 1332 patients with acute pancreatitis (AP). Pooled analysis showed that patients with SAP had significantly higher serum levels of resistin (SMD = 0.78, 95% CI:0.37 to 1.19, z = 3.75, P = 0.000). The difference in leptin and adiponectin levels between SAP and mild acute pancreatitis (MAP) patients were not significant (SMD = 0.30, 95% CI: -0.08 to 0.68, z = 1.53, P = 0.127 and SMD = 0.11, 95% CI: -0.17 to 0.40, z = 0.80, P = 0.425, respectively). In patients with SAP, visfatin levels were not significantly different from that in patients with MAP (SMD = 1.20, 95% CI: -0.48 to 2.88, z = 1.40, P = 0.162). CONCLUSION Elevated levels of resistin are associated with the development of SAP. Resistin may serve as biomarker for SAP and has promise as therapeutic target.

Huang Q, Li Z, Liu C. Prognostic Value of Fatty Acid Metabolism-related Genes in Patients with Bladder Cancer. Recent Pat Anticancer Drug Discov 2024; 19:328-341. [PMID: 38214320 DOI: 10.2174/1574892818666230516143945] [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: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 03/17/2023] [Accepted: 03/24/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to explore the expression profiles of fatty acid metabolism- related genes (FAMRGs) in patients with bladder cancer (BLCA). METHODS The corresponding clinicopathological features of BLCA patients and RNA sequencing data were downloaded from TCGA and GSE13507. Univariate Cox regression was used to determine the prognostic value of FRGS in BLCA patients. LASSO regression analysis was then performed to select potential risk genes and eliminate genes that might overfit the model. Based on the independent prognostication-related FRGs, the nomogram survival model was established using the root mean square value of the R packet to predict the 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival rates of BLCA patients. By determining the area under the curve (AUC) value, the time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the prognostic efficiency of our model. RESULTS A total of 243 DEFRGs were identified. Twenty FRGs were found to be related to the prognosis of BLCA in the TCGA database. Survival curves showed that high-risk patients had significantly shorter OS than low-risk cases (p < 0.001). The AUC of risk was 0.784, which was superior to age, sex, and stage, suggesting that the risk score was more favorable in predicting OS than traditional pathologic prognostic factors. The AUC was 0.757 at 1 year, 0.732 at 3 years, and 0.733 at 5 year-OS. CONCLUSION In this study, we demonstrated that a FAMRG prognosis biomarker is associated with the tumor immune microenvironment in patients with BLCA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine the predictors and outcomes associated with the development of acute pancreatitis (AP) in patients hospitalized with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). METHODS This is an observational analysis of the 2020 National Inpatient Sample Database. The study includes adult patients who were admitted with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 and stratifies them based on the presence or absence of AP during their hospitalization. Predictors of AP development between the two groups and differences in outcomes are examined. Multivariate logistic regression analysis using Stata/BE 17.0 is conducted, with adjustments made for age, sex, race, and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). Statistical significance is determined at a p-value of <0.05. RESULTS Significant factors associated with an increased risk of AP in COVID-19 patients include Hispanic ethnicity, higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) score, residence in states located in the southern region, history of chronic kidney disease, chronic liver disease, malnutrition, portal hypertension, and alcohol use. COVID-19 patients who developed AP were also found to be at higher risk of adverse outcomes, including mortality, acute coronary syndrome, acute kidney injury, sepsis, septic shock, in-hospital cardiac arrest, invasive mechanical ventilation, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, prolonged length of stay, and increased healthcare cost. CONCLUSIONS In hospitalized patients with COVID-19, the presence of AP is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Risk factors for developing AP in this population include Hispanic ethnicity, residence in the southern region, higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) score, history of chronic kidney disease, chronic liver disease, malnutrition, portal hypertension, and alcohol use.

Abstract
It is well known, that the inflammatory process that characterizes acute pancreatitis (AP) can lead to both pancreatic damage and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). During the last 20 years, there has been a growing incidence of episodes of acute pancreatitis associated with hypertriglyceridaemia (HTAP). This review provides an overview of triglyceride metabolism and the potential mechanisms that may contribute to developing or exacerbating HTAP. The article comprehensively discusses the various pathological roles of free fatty acid, inflammatory response mechanisms, the involvement of microcirculation, serum calcium overload, oxidative stress and the endoplasmic reticulum, genetic polymorphism, and gut microbiota, which are known to trigger or escalate this condition. Future perspectives on HTAP appear promising, with ongoing research focused on developing more specific and effective treatment strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Although transient bacteremia is common during dental and endoscopic procedures, infections developing during sterile diseases like acute pancreatitis (AP) can have grave consequences. We examined how impaired bacterial clearance may cause this transition. METHODS Blood samples from patients with AP, normal controls, and rodents with pancreatitis or those administered different nonesterified fatty acids (NEFAs) were analyzed for albumin-unbound NEFAs, microbiome, and inflammatory cell injury. Macrophage uptake of unbound NEFAs using a novel coumarin tracer were done and the downstream effects-NEFA-membrane phospholipid (phosphatidylcholine) interactions-were studied on isothermal titration calorimetry. RESULTS Patients with infected AP had higher circulating unsaturated NEFAs; unbound NEFAs, including linoleic acid (LA) and oleic acid (OA); higher bacterial 16S DNA; mitochondrial DNA; altered β-diversity; enrichment in Pseudomonadales; and increased annexin V-positive myeloid (CD14) and CD3-positive T cells on admission. These, and increased circulating dead inflammatory cells, were also noted in rodents with unbound, unsaturated NEFAs. Isothermal titration calorimetry showed progressively stronger unbound LA interactions with aqueous media, phosphatidylcholine, cardiolipin, and albumin. Unbound NEFAs were taken into protein-free membranes, cells, and mitochondria, inducing voltage-dependent anion channel oligomerization, reducing ATP, and impairing phagocytosis. These were reversed by albumin. In vivo, unbound LA and OA increased bacterial loads and impaired phagocytosis, causing infection. LA and OA were more potent for these amphipathic interactions than the hydrophobic palmitic acid. CONCLUSIONS Release of stored LA and OA can increase their circulating unbound levels and cause amphipathic liponecrosis of immune cells via uptake by membrane phospholipids. This impairs bacterial clearance and causes infection during sterile inflammation.

Activation of AMPK ameliorates acute severe pancreatitis by suppressing pancreatic acinar cell necroptosis in obese mice models. Cell Death Discov 2023; 9:363.

Abstract
Obese people with acute pancreatitis (AP) have an increased risk of developing severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), which prolongs the length of hospital stay and increases mortality. Thus, elucidation of the mechanisms through which SAP occurs in obese individuals will provide clues for possible treatment targets. Differences in early events in obese or lean patients with AP have not been conclusively reported. We selected C57BL/6 mice as lean mice models, ob/ob mice or diet induced obese (DIO) mice as obese mice models and then induced experimental AP in mice via injections of caerulein. There were suppressed p-AMPK expressions in the pancreas of obese mice, compared with same-age lean C57BL/6 mice, which were further reduced in AP mice models. Obese AP mice were treated using AICAR, a direct AMPK agonist, which prevented pancreatic damage and cell death, suppressed pancreatic enzyme levels in serum, reduced the areas of fat saponification in the peritoneal cavity, prevented injury in other organs and decreased mice mortality rate. Further assays showed that AICAR activates p-AMPK to stabilize pro-caspase-8. Pro-caspase-8 enhances RIPK3 degradation, inhibits pancreatic acinar cell necroptosis, and downregulates the release of pancreatic enzymes. Thus, activation of AMPK by AICAR alleviates pancreatic acinar cell necroptosis and converts SAP to mild acute pancreatitis in obese mice.

Time-Course Lipidomics of Ornithine-Induced Severe Acute Pancreatitis Model Reveals the Free Fatty Acids Centered Lipids Dysregulation Characteristics. Metabolites 2023; 13:993. [PMID: 37755273 PMCID: PMC10647642 DOI: 10.3390/metabo13090993] [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: 08/01/2023] [Revised: 08/29/2023] [Accepted: 09/01/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023] Open
Abstract
The relationship between the type and intensities of lipids of blood and pancreas and the pathological changes in the pancreas during severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) remains unclear. In our study, we employed a rat model of SAP induced through intraperitoneal ornithine injections. We collected serum and pancreas samples at various time points (0-144 h) for histopathological and biochemical assessments, followed by lipidomic analyses using LC-MS/MS or in situ mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) To discern changes over time or at specific points, we employed time-course and univariate analyses for lipid screening, respectively. Our findings indicated that the peak inflammation in the Orn-SAP model occurred within the 24-30 h timeframe, with evident necrosis emerging from 24 h onwards, followed by regeneration starting at 48 h. Time-course analysis revealed an overall decrease in glycerophospholipids (PEs, PCs, LPEs, LPCs), while CEs exhibited an increase within the pancreas. Univariate analysis unveiled a significant reduction in serum TAGs containing 46-51 carbon atoms at 24 h, and CERs in the pancreas significantly increased at 30 h, compared with 0 h. Moreover, a substantial rise in TAGs containing 56-58 carbon atoms was observed at 144 h, both in serum and pancreas. MSI demonstrated the CERs containing saturated mono-acyl chains of 16 and 18 carbon atoms influenced pancreatic regeneration. Tracing the origin of FFAs hydrolyzed from pancreatic glycerophospholipids and serum TAGs during the early stages of inflammation, as well as FFAs utilized for CEs and CERs synthesis during the repair phase, may yield valuable strategies for diagnosing and managing SAP.

Abstract
During acute pancreatitis (AP), free fatty acids (FFAs) are liberated from circulating triglycerides (TG) and injured adipocytes by pancreatic lipase. Circulating FFAs have been suspected as a source of systemic lipotoxicity in AP. However, assessment of FFAs is difficult and time-consuming, and little is known about relative levels of FFAs between patients with different severities of AP and controls. This study's aims were to assess early circulating levels of FFAs, (both saturated and unsaturated) in patients with AP vs. controls, and associations between FFA levels and AP severity. Serum samples from patients with AP were collected at enrollment (day 1 of hospital stay); serum samples were also collected from controls. FFAs including palmitic, palmitoleic, stearic, oleic, and linoleic acid were extracted and quantitated using gas chromatography separation. Severity of AP was determined by Revised Atlanta Classification. Differences in FFA levels and percentages of total FFAs were assessed between patients with AP and controls and patients with AP of different severity grades. A total of 93 patients with AP (48 female, 52%) and 29 controls (20 female, 69%) were enrolled. Of the patients with AP, 74 had mild/moderate and 19 had severe AP. Serum levels of all FFAs except stearic acid were significantly higher in patients with AP compared with controls. A strong and independent association between elevated palmitoleic acid levels and severe AP was found. Serum unsaturated FFA levels, specifically palmitoleic acid, appear to correlate with severe AP. These findings have potential clinical implications for targeted AP therapies.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Drivers of the inflammatory response in acute pancreatitis remain incompletely understood. Unsaturated fatty acids, specifically palmitoleic, appear to have an association with more severe acute pancreatitis. This finding presents a new clinical understanding of fatty acid toxicity and highlights a potential future target for treatment in severe acute pancreatitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multisystem organ failure (MSOF) is the most important determinant of mortality in acute pancreatitis (AP). Obesity and alcoholic etiology have been examined as potential risk factors for MSOF, but prior studies have not adequately elucidated their independent effects on the risk of MSOF. OBJECTIVE We aimed to determine the adjusted effects of body mass index (BMI) and alcoholic etiology on the risk of MSOF in subjects with AP. METHODS A prospective observational study of 22 centers from 10 countries was conducted. Patients admitted to an APPRENTICE consortium center with AP between August 2015 and January 2018 were enrolled. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate the adjusted effects of BMI, etiology, and other relevant covariates on the risk of MSOF. Models were stratified by sex. RESULTS Among 1544 AP subjects, there was a sex-dependent association between BMI and the risk of MSOF. Increasing BMI was associated with increased odds of MSOF in males (OR 1.10, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.04-1.15) but not in females (OR 0.98, 95% CI 0.90-1.1). Male subjects with AP, whose BMIs were 30-34 and >35 kg/m2 , had odds ratios of 3.78 (95% CI 1.62-8.83) and 3.44 (95% CI 1.08-9.99), respectively. In females, neither higher grades of obesity nor increasing age increased the risk of MSOF. Alcoholic etiology was independently associated with increased odds of MSOF compared with non-alcohol etiologies (OR 4.17, 95% CI 2.16-8.05). CONCLUSION Patients with alcoholic etiology and obese men (but not women) are at substantially increased risk of MSOF in AP.

Abstract
The efficacy and resistance of cisplatin-based compounds are very intractable problems at present. This study reports a series of platinum(IV) compounds containing multiple-bond ligands, which exhibited better tumor cell inhibitory activity and antiproliferative and anti-metastasis activities than cisplatin. The meta-substituted compounds 2 and 5 were particularly excellent. Further research showed that compounds 2 and 5 possessed appropriate reduction potential and performed significantly better than cisplatin in cellular uptake, reactive oxygen species response, the up-regulation of apoptosis and DNA lesion-related genes, and drug-resistant cell activity. The title compounds exhibited better antitumor potential and fewer side effects than cisplatin in vivo. Multiple-bond ligands were introduced into cisplatin to form the title compounds in this study, which not only enhanced their absorption and overcame drug resistance but also demonstrated the potential to target mitochondria and inhibit the detoxification of tumor cells.

Abstract
Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is a metabolic disorder, defined when serum or plasma triglyceride concentration (seTG) is >1.7 mM. HTG can be categorized as mild to very severe groups based on the seTG value. The risk of acute pancreatitis (AP), a serious disease with high mortality and without specific therapy, increases with the degree of HTG. Furthermore, even mild or moderate HTG aggravates AP initiated by other important etiological factors, including alcohol or bile stone. This review briefly summarizes the pathophysiology of HTG, the epidemiology of HTG-induced AP and the clinically observed effects of HTG on the outcomes of AP. Our main focus is to discuss the pathophysiological mechanisms linking HTG to AP. HTG is accompanied by an increased serum fatty acid (FA) concentration, and experimental results have demonstrated that these FAs have the most prominent role in causing the consequences of HTG during AP. FAs inhibit mitochondrial complexes in pancreatic acinar cells, induce pathological elevation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration, cytokine release and tissue injury, and reduce the function of pancreatic ducts. Furthermore, high FA concentrations can induce respiratory, kidney, and cardiovascular failure in AP. All these effects may contribute to the observed increased AP severity and frequent organ failure in patients. Importantly, experimental results suggest that the reduction of FA production by lipase inhibitors can open up new therapeutic options of AP. Overall, investigating the pathophysiology of HTG-induced AP or AP in the presence of HTG and determining possible treatments are needed.

Futile cycle of β-oxidation and de novo lipogenesis are associated with essential fatty acids depletion in lipoatrophy. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Cell Biol Lipids 2023; 1868:159264.

Abstract
Total absence of adipose tissue (lipoatrophy) is associated with the development of severe metabolic disorders including hepatomegaly and fatty liver. Here, we sought to investigate the impact of severe lipoatrophy induced by deletion of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) exclusively in adipocytes on lipid metabolism in mice. Untargeted lipidomics of plasma, gastrocnemius and liver uncovered a systemic depletion of the essential linoleic (LA) and α-linolenic (ALA) fatty acids from several lipid classes (storage lipids, glycerophospholipids, free fatty acids) in lipoatrophic mice. Our data revealed that such essential fatty acid depletion was linked to increased: 1) capacity for liver mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO), 2) citrate synthase activity and coenzyme Q content in the liver, 3) whole-body oxygen consumption and reduced respiratory exchange rate in the dark period, and 4) de novo lipogenesis and carbon flux in the TCA cycle. The key role of de novo lipogenesis in hepatic steatosis was evidenced by an accumulation of stearic, oleic, sapienic and mead acids in liver. Our results thus indicate that the simultaneous activation of the antagonic processes FAO and de novo lipogenesis in liver may create a futile metabolic cycle leading to a preferential depletion of LA and ALA. Noteworthy, this previously unrecognized cycle may also explain the increased energy expenditure displayed by lipoatrophic mice, adding a new piece to the metabolic regulation puzzle in lipoatrophies.

Abstract
Purpose Although paclitaxel is widely used in cancer treatment, severe side effects and drug resistance limit its clinical use. 10-gingerol (10-G) is a natural compound isolated from ginger, which displays anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiproliferative properties. However, the chemotherapy-sensitization effect of 10-G on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has not been fully clarified. This study is aimed at investigating the effect of 10-G on the paclitaxel sensitivity in TNBC, and its underlying mechanism. Methods The study was determined through in vitro and in vivo experiments. Cell viability and proliferation were detected by cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) and colony formation. To detect cell apoptosis, flow cytometry and TUNEL were used. The expression of proteins was detected by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. The molecular docking and gene knockout were corroborated by interactions between 10-G and adrenoceptor Beta 2 (ADRB2). The body weight of mice, histopathology and organs (kidney and spleen) coefficients were used to monitor the drug toxicities. Results In vitro, 10-G increased the sensitivity of TNBC cells to paclitaxel, and could synergistically promote the apoptosis of TNBC cells induced by paclitaxel. In combination with molecular docking and lentivirus knockdown studies, ADRB2 was identified as a 10-G binding protein. 10-G inhibited ADRB2 by binding to the active site of ADRB2. Knockdown of ADRB2 reduces the proliferation activity of TNBC cells but also attenuates the sensitizing effects of 10-G to paclitaxel. Western blotting and immunohistochemistry showed that 10-G played an anti-proliferation and chemotherapy-sensitizing role by inhibiting the ADRB2/ERK signal. Toxicity evaluation showed that 10-G would not increase hepatorenal toxicity with paclitaxel. Conclusion This data suggests that 10-G may be used as a new chemotherapeutic synergist in combination with paclitaxel to enhance anticancer activity. The potential value of ADRB2 as a target for improving chemotherapy sensitivity was also emphasized.

Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests that numerous edible oils may function as adjuvant dietary therapies to treat cancer. We previously reported that the odd-chain saturated fatty acid (OCSFA), heptadecanoic acid (C17:0), profoundly inhibits non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell proliferation. However, the antitumor potential of edible lipids rich in C17:0 remains unclear. Here, we determined that sheep tail fat (STF) is a dietary lipid rich in C17:0 and exhibited the greatest inhibitory effect against three NSCLC cell lines (A549, PC-9, and PC-9/GR) among common dietary lipids. Cell migration experiments demonstrated that STF could significantly inhibit the wound healing capacity of three NSCLC cell lines by promoting the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and subsequent cell death. Mechanistic studies showed that STF suppressed NSCLC cell growth by downregulating the Akt/S6K signaling pathway. Furthermore, administration of STF reduced tumor growth, weight, and expression of the proliferative marker Ki-67 in nude mice bearing A549 xenografts. Collectively, our data show that STF has antitumor activity against NSCLC, implying that dietary intake of C17:0-rich STF may be a potential adjuvant therapy for NSCLC.

Abstract
Background: The impact of obesity on the pathogenesis and prognosis of necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) is unclear. The goal of this study was to characterize differences in NSTI presentation and outcomes by obesity status. Patients and Methods: A retrospective analysis of institutional data for patients diagnosed with NSTIs were identified (n = 619; 2011-2020). Patients were divided based on obesity (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 30 kg/m2) and non-obese (BMI <30 kg/m2). Primary outcomes included NSTI location, micro-organisms, and index hospitalization data. Multiple logistic regression was used to model predictors of in-hospital and 90-day mortality. Results: The obese cohort (n = 390; 63%) had higher rates of congestive heart failure and type 2 diabetes mellitus. There were no differences in length of stay, mortality, or discharge disposition between groups. A higher rate of respiratory failure was observed in the obese versus non-obese group (36.7% vs. 20.9%; p < 0.0005). The obese cohort was associated with perineal (40.8% vs. 27.0%) and torso NSTIs (20.9% vs. 15.8%; p < 0.005) but reduced staphylococcal (19.2% vs. 27.4%; p = 0.02) and group A streptococcal (2.6% vs. 6.5%; p = 0.03) infections, and increased polymicrobial infections. Class 2 obesity was a negative predictor for in-hospital mortality (odds ratio [OR], 0.1; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.03-0.5) and 90-day mortality (OR, 0.3; 95% CI, 0.1-0.8), when adjusting for demographic data, type of infection, and baseline comorbidities. Conclusions: Necrotizing soft tissue infections in obesity may present with unique distributions and microbial characteristics. Class 2 obesity may exhibit a survival benefit compared with non-obese patients, suggestive of an obesity paradox.

Obesity and Diabetic Complications: A Study from the Nationwide Diabetes Report of the National Program for Prevention and Control of Diabetes (NPPCD-2021) Implications for Action on Multiple Scales. Prim Care Diabetes 2022; 16:422-429. [PMID: 35396199 DOI: 10.1016/j.pcd.2022.03.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2021] [Revised: 02/16/2022] [Accepted: 03/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity plays a major role in the pathogenesis and development of macro- and microvascular complications of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and type 1 diabetes (T1D). We aimed to assess the association between obesity and macrovascular and microvascular complications of diabetes. METHODS This study consisted of 111,830 patients (age range: 1-106) with diabetes including 10,641 T1D (3187 obese [38.2% men] and 7454 non-obese [45.5% men]) and 101,189 T2D (51,873 obese [27.5% men] and 49,316 non-obese [33.4% men]) from the National Program for Prevention and Control of Diabetes (NPPCD-2021) in Iran, who attended academic tertiary care outpatient clinics from February 2016 to April 2021. A pooled logistic regression model was used to examine the association between obesity and diabetic complications. RESULTS Among patients with T1D, a significant association was found between obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD), neuropathy, nephropathy and retinopathy (OR= 1.75, 1.56, 1.80 and 1.92, P-value= 0.001, 0.004, 0.001 and <0.001, respectively). In T2D, a statistically significant association was found between obesity and CVD, neuropathy and nephropathy (OR= 1.63, 1.98, 1.21, respectively, P-values <0.001). CONCLUSION Obesity was independently associated with CVD, neuropathy and nephropathy in patients with T1D and T2D and with retinopathy only in T1D, to different degrees. The association between obesity and retinopathy and neuropathy was the strongest among T1D and T2D, respectively. Findings from this study suggest that obesity affects diabetic complications differently among the two types of diabetes, in terms of epidemiology and pathophysiology. This signifies the importance of different preventive and therapeutic approaches to obesity in T1D compared to T2D, on a national and global scale.

Abstract
We compared three hospitalized patient cohorts and conducted mechanistic studies to determine if lipotoxicity worsens COVID-19. Cohort-1 (n = 30) compared COVID-19 patients dismissed home to those requiring intensive-care unit (ICU) transfer. Cohort-2 (n = 116) compared critically ill ICU patients with and without COVID-19. Cohort-3 (n = 3969) studied hypoalbuminemia and hypocalcemia’s impact on COVID-19 mortality. Patients requiring ICU transfer had higher serum albumin unbound linoleic acid (LA). Unbound fatty acids and LA were elevated in ICU transfers, COVID-19 ICU patients and ICU non-survivors. COVID-19 ICU patients (cohort-2) had greater serum lipase, damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), cytokines, hypocalcemia, hypoalbuminemia, organ failure and thrombotic events. Hypocalcemia and hypoalbuminemia independently associated with COVID-19 mortality in cohort-3. Experimentally, LA reacted with albumin, calcium and induced hypocalcemia, hypoalbuminemia in mice. Endothelial cells took up unbound LA, which depolarized their mitochondria. In mice, unbound LA increased DAMPs, cytokines, causing endothelial injury, organ failure and thrombosis. Therefore, excessive unbound LA in the circulation may worsen COVID-19 outcomes. Three cohorts of hospitalized COVID-19 patients with different severities were studied Severe COVID-19 increased serum linoleic acid (LA) and unbound fatty acid levels Endothelial cell uptake of unbound LA dose-dependently depolarized mitochondria Unbound LA increased cytokines, endothelial injury, organ failure and thrombosis

Ginkgolide B Targets and Inhibits Creatine Kinase B to Regulate the CCT/TRiC-SK1 Axis and Exerts Pro-Angiogenic Activity in Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion Mice. Pharmacol Res 2022; 180:106240. [PMID: 35513225 DOI: 10.1016/j.phrs.2022.106240] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2022] [Revised: 04/27/2022] [Accepted: 04/28/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Promoting angiogenesis in the ischemic penumbra is a well-established method of ischemic stroke treatment. Ginkgolide B (GB) has long been recognized for its neuroprotective properties following stroke. As previously reported, it appears that stroke-induced neurogenesis and angiogenesis interact or are dependent on one another. Although the pharmacodynamic effect of GB on cerebral blood flow (CBF) following ischemic stroke has been reported, the molecular mechanism underlying this effect remains unknown. As such, this study sought to elucidate the pharmacodynamic effects and underlying mechanisms of GB on post-stroke angiogenesis. To begin, GB significantly increased the proliferation, migration, and tube formation capacity of mouse cerebral hemangioendothelioma cells (b.End3) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Additionally, GB significantly improved angiogenesis after oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) in endothelial cells. The dynamics of CBF, brain microvascular neovascularization and reconstruction, and brain endothelial tissue integrity were examined in middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) mice following GB administration. Through label-free target detection techniques, we discovered for the first time that GB can specifically target Creatine Kinase B (CKB) and inhibit its enzymatic activity. Additionally, we demonstrated through network pharmacology and a series of molecular biology experiments that GB inhibited CKB and then promoted angiogenesis via the CCT/TRiC-SK1 axis. These findings shed new light on novel therapeutic strategies for neurological recovery and endothelial repair following ischemic stroke using GB therapy.

Abstract
Background Innate immunity and metabolites link to the pathogenesis and severity of acute pancreatitis (AP). However, liver metabolism and its role in immune response and AP progression remain elusive. We investigated the function of liver metabolism in the pathogenesis of AP. Methods Circulating ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate (βOHB) levels were determined in AP clinical cohorts and caerulein-induced AP (CER-AP) mouse models receiving seven (Cer*7) or twelve (Cer*12) injection regimens at hourly intervals. Liver transcriptomics and metabolomics were compared between CER-AP (Cer*7) and CER-AP (Cer*12). Inhibition of fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO)-ketogenesis, or supplementation of βOHB was performed in mouse models of AP. The effect and mechanism of βOHB were examined in vitro. Findings Elevated circulating βOHB was observed in patients with non-severe AP (SAP) but not SAP. These findings were replicated in CER-AP (Cer*7) and CER-AP (Cer*12), which manifested as limited and hyperactive immune responses, respectively. FAO-ketogenesis was activated in CER-AP (Cer*7), while impaired long-chain FAO and mitochondrial function were observed in the liver of CER-AP (Cer*12). Blockage of FAO-ketogenesis (Cpt1a antagonism or Hmgcs2 knockdown) worsened, while supplementation of βOHB or its precursor 1,3-butanediol alleviated the severity of CER-AP. Mechanistically, βOHB had a discernible effect on pancreatic acinar cell damage, instead, it greatly attenuated the activation of pancreatic and systemic proinflammatory macrophages via class I histone deacetylases. Interpretation Our findings reveal that hepatic ketogenesis is activated as an endogenous protective programme to restrain AP progression, indicating its potential therapeutic value.

J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle 2022; 13:1076-1086. [PMID: 35212195 PMCID: PMC8978026 DOI: 10.1002/jcsm.12956] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2021] [Revised: 01/03/2022] [Accepted: 02/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the obesity paradox is a topic of immense interest for oncologists and epidemiologists, the mechanism underlying this unexpected benefit of obesity is poorly understood. We explored the prognostic value of obesity and its association with skeletal muscle mass. METHODS This retrospective study evaluated the data of patients who underwent surgical excision for lung adenocarcinoma between January 2011 and December 2015. Body mass index was categorized according to the criteria of the Asia-Pacific classification. Cross-sectional areas of the skeletal muscle, subcutaneous fat, and visceral fat were measured. Skeletal muscle mass status was defined based on the cut-offs of skeletal muscle index (cm2 /m2 ), calculated as the area of skeletal muscle divided by height squared. Overall survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and differences in survival probabilities were compared using the log-rank test. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was conducted to determine the association with overall survival. RESULTS A total of 636 patients with a median age of 61 years (interquartile range, 54.0-68.5 years; 321 men and 315 women) were included. Obese patients (body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m2 ) had longer overall survival than non-obese patients (mean, 110.2 months vs. 98.7 months; log-rank P = 0.015). Under multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression analysis, obesity was associated with longer overall survival after adjusting for covariates (hazard ratio, 0.59; 95% confidence interval, 0.40-0.86; P = 0.007). The prognostic value of obesity remained and predicted favourable overall survival after additional adjusting for skeletal muscle mass status (hazard ratio, 0.57; 95% confidence interval, 0.36-0.89; P = 0.014), skeletal muscle index (hazard ratio, 0.53; 95% confidence interval, 0.33-0.84; P = 0.008), or skeletal muscle area (hazard ratio, 0.61; 95% confidence interval, 0.38-0.98; P = 0.041). No association was observed between skeletal muscle mass status and the impact of body mass index on overall survival (P for interaction = 0.512). CONCLUSIONS Obesity was associated with favourable overall survival, independent of skeletal muscle mass, after surgical excision of lung adenocarcinoma.

Pathophysiology and Biomarker Potential of Fatty Acid Ethyl Ester Elevation During Alcoholic Pancreatitis. Gastroenterology 2021; 161:1513-1525. [PMID: 34303660 PMCID: PMC9318056 DOI: 10.1053/j.gastro.2021.07.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2021] [Revised: 07/07/2021] [Accepted: 07/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The role of fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) during human alcoholic pancreatitis is unknown. We compared FAEEs levels with their nonesterified fatty acids (NEFAs) precursors during alcohol intoxication and clinical alcoholic pancreatitis. The pathophysiology underlying FAEEs increase and their role as diagnostic biomarkers for alcoholic pancreatitis was investigated. METHODS A prospective blinded study compared FAEEs, NEFAs, and ethanol blood levels on hospitalization for alcoholic pancreatitis (n = 31), alcohol intoxication (n = 25), and in normal controls (n = 43). Serum FAEEs were measured at admission for nonalcoholic pancreatitis (n = 75). Mechanistic cell and animal studies were done. RESULTS Median FAEEs were similarly elevated during alcohol intoxication (205 nmol/L; 95% confidence interval [CI], 71.8-515 nmol/L, P < .001) and alcoholic pancreatitis (103.1 nmol/L; 95% CI, 53-689 nmol/L, P < .001) vs controls (1.7 nmol/L; 95% CI, 0.02-4.3 nmol/L) or nonalcoholic pancreatitis (8 nmol/L; 95% CI, 1.1-11.5 nmol/L). Alcoholic pancreatitis increased serum NEFAs (1024 ± 710 μmol/L vs 307 ± 185 μmol/L in controls, P < .05). FAEEs comprised 0.1% to 2% of the parent NEFA concentrations. FAEES correlated strongly with NEFAs independent of ethanol levels in alcoholic pancreatitis but not during alcohol intoxication. On receiver operating characteristic curve analysis for diagnosing alcoholic pancreatitis, the area under the curve for serum FAEEs was 0.87 (95% CI, 0.78-0.95, P < .001). In mice and cells, alcohol administration transiently increased all FAEEs. Oleic acid ethyl ester was the only FAEE with a sustained increase up to 24 hours after intraperitoneal oleic acid plus ethanol administration. CONCLUSIONS The sustained, alcohol-independent, large (20- to 50-fold) increase in circulating FAEEs during alcoholic pancreatitis results from their visceral release and mirrors the 2- to 4-fold increase in parent NEFA. The large areas under the curve of FAEEs on receiver operating characteristic curve analysis supports their role as alcoholic pancreatitis biomarkers.

Development and validation of a novel lipid metabolism-related gene prognostic signature and candidate drugs for patients with bladder cancer. Lipids Health Dis 2021; 20:146.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bladder cancer (BLCA) is a common cancer associated with an unfavorable prognosis. Increasing numbers of studies have demonstrated that lipid metabolism affects the progression and treatment of tumors. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the function and prognostic value of lipid metabolism-related genes in patients with bladder cancer. METHODS Lipid metabolism-related genes (LRGs) were acquired from the Molecular Signature Database (MSigDB). LRG mRNA expression and patient clinical data were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets. Cox regression analysis and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis was used to construct a signature for predicting overall survival of patients with BLCA. Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to assess prognosis. The connectivity Map (CMAP) database was used to identify small molecule drugs for treatment. A nomogram was constructed and assessed by combining the signature and other clinical factors. The CIBERSORT, MCPcounter, QUANTISEQ, XCELL, CIBERSORT-ABS, TIMER and EPIC algorithms were used to analyze the immunological characteristics. RESULTS An 11-LRG signature was successfully constructed and validated to predict the prognosis of BLCA patients. Furthermore, we also found that the 11-gene signature was an independent hazardous factor. Functional analysis suggested that the LRGs were closely related to the PPAR signaling pathway, fatty acid metabolism and AMPK signaling pathway. The prognostic model was closely related to immune cell infiltration. Moreover, the expression of key immune checkpoint genes (PD1, CTLA4, PD-L1, LAG3, and HAVCR2) was higher in patients in the high-risk group than in those in the low-risk group. The prognostic signature based on 11-LRGs exhibited better performance in predicting overall survival than conventional clinical characteristics. Five small molecule drugs could be candidate drug treatments for BLCA patients based on the CMAP dataset. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, the current study identified a reliable signature based on 11-LRGs for predicting the prognosis and response to immunotherapy in patients with BLCA. Five small molecule drugs were identified for the treatments of BLCA patients.

Abstract
Background Excess body weight (EBW) is a risk factor for various acute and chronic conditions. Conversely, the "obesity paradox" suggests a protective effect of higher body weight on some disease outcomes. This article discusses the role of EBW along the disease continuum of pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer (PC) in terms of incidence and outcome. Summary Comparison of findings is hampered by the use of different methods to assess EBW. Nevertheless, in acute pancreatitis (AP) and PC, EBW, especially visceral obesity, presents a distinct risk factor and predictor of a negative outcome. Findings of a protective effect likely result from nonconsideration of fat distribution or other confounders. Regarding chronic pancreatitis (CP), few studies indicate lower incidence and a better outcome with higher body mass. However, there is insufficient evidence to confirm the existence of an obesity paradox. The precise mechanisms of how EBW affects the disease continuum require further elucidation but both common and disease-specific effects seem involved. Key Messages EBW is associated with higher incidence and a negative outcome in AP and PC. The association with CP is less conclusive. Thus, maintaining normal weight is advisable at any stage of the disease continuum.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The obesity paradox has been recently demonstrated in trauma patients, where improved survival was associated with overweight and obese patients compared to patients with normal weight, despite increased morbidity. Little is known whether this effect is mediated by lower injury severity. We aim to explore the association between body mass index (BMI) and renal trauma injury grade, morbidity, and in-hospital mortality. METHODS A retrospective cohort of adults with renal trauma was conducted using 2013-2016 National Trauma Data Bank. Multiple regression analyses were used to assess outcomes of interest across BMI categories with normal weight as reference, while adjusting for relevant covariates including kidney injury grade. RESULTS We analyzed 15181 renal injuries. Increasing BMI above normal progressively decreased the risk of high-grade renal trauma (HGRT). Subgroup analysis showed that this relationship was maintained in blunt injury, but there was no association in penetrating injury. Overweight (OR 1.02, CI 0.83-1.25, p = 0.841), class I (OR 0.92, CI 0.71-1.19, p = 0.524), and class II (OR 1.38, CI 0.99-1.91, p = 0.053) obesity were not protective against mortality, whereas class III obesity (OR 1.46, CI 1.03-2.06, p = 0.034) increased mortality odds. Increasing BMI by category was associated with a stepwise increase in odds of acute kidney injury, cardiovascular events, total hospital length of stay (LOS), intensive care unit LOS, and ventilator days. CONCLUSIONS Increasing BMI was associated with decreased risk of HGRT in blunt trauma. Overweight and obesity were associated with increased morbidity but not with a protective effect on mortality. The obesity paradox does not exist in kidney trauma when injury grade is accounted for.
