Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with obesity have an increased risk for adverse COVID-19 outcomes. Body mass index (BMI) does not acknowledge the health burden associated this disease. The performance of the Edmonton Obesity Staging System (EOSS), a clinical classification tool that assesses obesity-related comorbidity, is compared with BMI, with respect to adverse COVID-19 outcomes. METHODS 1071 patients were evaluated in 11 COVID-19 hospitals in Mexico. Patients were classified into EOSS stages. Adjusted risk factors for COVID-19 outcomes were calculated and survival analysis for mechanical ventilation and death was carried out according to EOSS stage and BMI category. RESULTS The risk for intubation was higher in patients with EOSS stages 2 and 4 (HR 1.42, 95% CI 1.02-1.97 and 2.78, 95% CI 1.83-4.24), and in patients with BMI classes II and III (HR 1.71, 95% CI 1.06-2.74, and 2.62, 95% CI 1.65-4.17). Mortality rates were significantly lower in patients with EOSS stages 0 and 1 (HR 0.62, 95% CI 0.42-0.92) and higher in patients with BMI class III (HR 1.58, 95% CI 1.03-2.42). In patients with a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2, the risk for intubation increased with progressive EOSS stages. Only individuals in BMI class III showed an increased risk for intubation (HR 2.24, 95% CI 1.50-3.34). Mortality risk was increased in EOSS stages 2 and 4 compared to EOSS 0 and 1, and in patients with BMI class II and III, compared to patients with overweight. CONCLUSIONS EOSS was associated with adverse COVID-19 outcomes, and it distinguished risks beyond BMI. Patients with overweight and obesity in EOSS stages 0 and 1 had a lower risk than patients with normal weight. BMI does not adequately reflect adipose tissue-associated disease, it is not ideal for guiding chronic-disease management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune activation, increased Toll-like Receptors (TLR) expression, and gut epithelial diffusion of bacterial molecules have been reported in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Thus, we sought to relate these factors by analyzing gut homing (integrin α4β7), intestinal recruiting (CCR5) and activation (CD28) phenotypes, and the cytokines and chemokines concentration in peripheral blood T-lymphocytes stimulated with TLR-ligands. METHODS Twenty-one IBS-Rome II (1 PI-IBS) patients and 19 controls were studied. Isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells were cultured with and without Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS), Staphylococcus aureus peptidoglycan (PGN), and unmethylated cytosine-phosphate-guanine motifs (CpG). Phenotypes were investigated by flow cytometry and supernatant cytokines and chemokines were also measured. KEY RESULTS After LPS, CCR5 expression in CD4⁺ α4β7⁺ cells remained unchanged in IBS, but decreased in controls (p = 0.002), to lower levels than in IBS (Mean fluorescence intensity [MFI]: 1590 ± 126.9 vs 2417 ± 88.4, p < 0.001). There were less CD8(+) α4β7⁺ CCR5⁺ cells (85.7 ± 1.5 vs 90.8 ± 0.9%, p = 0.006) after LPS and CD3⁺ α4β7⁺ CCR5⁺ (40.0 ± 1.7 vs 51.2 ± 4.3%, p = 0.006) after PGN in controls. Also, after LPS, CD28 decreased in CD4⁺ α4β7⁺ CCR5⁺ in IBS (MFI: 2337 ± 47.2 vs 1779 ± 179.2, p < 0.001), but not in controls. Cytokines and chemokines were similar, except for lower IL8/CXCL8 in the unstimulated condition in IBS (4.18, 95% CI: 3.94-4.42 vs 3.77, 3.59-3.95; p = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES Pathogen-associated molecular patterns stimulation of peripheral blood T cells expressing gut homing marker in IBS compared with controls resulted in an unsuccessful down-regulation of the co-expression of intestinal recruiting/residence phenotype and a state of activation. These findings support an interaction between an innate immune predisposition and microbial triggers, which may unleash or exacerbate IBS.

Abstract
The mechanism-based inactivation of four horseradish peroxidase (HRP-C) enzyme variants has been studied kinetically with either hydrogen peroxide or the xenobiotic m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mClO2-BzOH) as sole substrate. The concentration and time dependence of inactivation was investigated for the wild-type plant enzyme (HRP-C), the unglycosylated recombinant enzyme (HRP-C*), and two site-directed mutants with Phe143 replaced by Ala ([F143A]HRP-C*) or Arg38 replaced by Lys ([R38K]HRP-C*). The number of turnovers (r) of H2O2 required to completely inactivate the enzymes was found to vary between the different enzymes with HRP-C being most resistant to inactivation (r = 625), HRP-C* and [F143A]HRP-C* being approximately twice as sensitive (r = 335 and 385, respectively) in comparison, and [R38K]HRP-C* being inactivated much more easily (r = 20). In the cases of HRP-C* and [F143A]HRP-C*, compared to HRP-C the differences were due to the absence of glycosylation on the exterior of the proteins, whilst the [R38K]HRP-C* variant exhibited a distinct mechanistic difference. When mClO2BzOH was used as the substrate the differences in sensitivity to inactivation disappeared. The values of r were all around 3 reflecting the strong affinity of mClO2BzOH for the active site. The apparent rate constant for inactivation by H2O2 was found to be about twofold higher in [R38K]HRP-C* than the other enzymes and the catalytic constant for turnover of H2O2 was approximately ten times lower. The affinity of compound I for H2O2 leading to the formation of a transitory intermediate implicated in the inactivation of peroxidase decreased in the order HRP-C, HRP-C*, [F143A]HRP-C*, [R38K]HRP-C*.
