OBJECTIVE: To investigate relationships between body fat and its distribution and carbohydrate and lipid tolerance using statistical comparisons in post-menopausal women. DESIGN: Sequential meal, postprandial study (600 min) which included a mixed standard breakfast (30 g fat) and lunch (44 g fat) given at 0 and 270 min, respectively, after an overnight fast. SUBJECTS: Twenty-eight post-menopausal women with a diverse range of body weight (body mass index (BMI), mean 27.2, range 20.5-38.8 kg/m2) and abdominal fat deposition (waist, mean 86.4, range 63.5-124.0 cm). Women with BMI < 18 or > 37 kg/m2, age > 80 y and taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT) were excluded. MEASUREMENTS: Anthropometric measurements were performed to assess total and regional fat deposits. The concentrations of plasma total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, triacylglycerol (TAG), glucose, insulin (ins), non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) and apolipoprotein (apo) B-48 were analysed in plasma collected at baseline (fasted state) and at 13 postprandial time points for a 600 min period. RESULTS: Insulin concentrations in the fasted and fed state were significantly correlated with all measures of adiposity (BMI, waist, waist-hip ratio (W/H), waist-height ratio (W/Ht) and sum of skinfold thickness (SSk)). After controlling for BMI, waist remained significantly and positively associated with fasted insulin (r=0.559) with waist contributing 53% to the variability after multiple regression analysis. After controlling for waist, BMI remained significantly correlated with postprandial (IAUC) insulin (r=0.535) contributing 66% of the variability of this measurement. No association was found between any measures of adiposity and glucose concentrations, although insulin concentration in relation to glucose concentration (glucose-insulin ratio) was significantly negatively correlated with all measures of adiposity. A significant positive correlation was found between fasted TAG and BMI (r=0.416), waist (r=0.393) and Ssk (r=0.457) and postprandial (AUC) TAG with BMI (r=0.385) and Ssk (r=0.406). A significantly higher postprandial apolipoprotein (apo) B-48 response was observed in those women with high BMI (> 27 kg/m2). Fasting levels of NEFA were significantly and positively correlated with all measures of adiposity (except W/H). No association was found between cholesterol containing particles and any measure of adiposity. CONCLUSION: Hyperinsulinaemia associated with increasing body fat and central fat distribution is associated with normal glucose but not TAG or NEFA concentrations in postmenopausal women.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the difference of serum estradiol (E2) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in Thai women post total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy, before and after using a daily dose of 2 mg oral 17 beta-estradiol. STUDY DESIGN: Experimental study (before and after treatment). SETTING: Menopause Clinic, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University. SUBJECTS: Thirty-five women who had undergone total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy at Chulalongkorn Hospital 1 week previously due to benign gynecologic conditions were recruited in the study. Body mass index was 20-25 kg/m2. These women had no contraindication for using hormonal replacement therapy and no history of any hormonal intake in the past. INTERVENTION: All subjects were assigned to receive a daily dose of 2 mg oral 17 beta-estradiol applied at bedtime (8.00 p.m.). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Serum E2 and FSH were measured before and after the study at weeks 4, 8 and 12, 12-14 hours after oral application. The hormonal measurement was performed using the time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay (FIA) method. RESULTS: Five cases were excluded, three cases due to poor compliance which was less than 85 per cent and two cases due to loss to follow-up. Of the remaining 30 cases, the mean age and body mass index were 43.03 +/- 4.58 years and 22.72 + 1.86 kg/m2, respectively. Serum E2 level significantly increased from baseline value at 4, 8 and 12 weeks (median of E2 value at 0, 4, 8 and 12 weeks: 20.00, 22.50, 324.65 and 355.35 pmol/L, p<0.001). On the other hand, there was no significant difference in the FSH serum level (median of FSH value at 0, 4, 8 and 12 weeks: 18.65, 18.40, 18.60 and 20.35 IU/L, p=0.517). CONCLUSION: A daily dose of 2 mg oral 17 beta-estradiol taken at bedtime (8.00 p.m.) for 12 weeks increased the serum E2 to the follicular phase level of the normal menstrual cycle. On the other hand, there was no significant difference in the FSH serum level.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to characterize long-term progression-free survivors (LTPFS) of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) following high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) and to assess the influence of chemotherapy dose in order to identify patients who derive major benefit from this approach. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We compared patient and tumor characteristics of 16 LTPFS with the characteristics of 118 MBC patients who received HDCT with ASCT at our institution between 1992 and 2000. To estimate the cumulative dose of chemotherapy received, the summation dose intensity product (SDIP) of the different chemotherapy regimens was calculated as recently described by Hryniuk et al. The SDIP of the induction regimens was added to that of the HDCT regimens to yield the total SDIP of the chemotherapy received. Multivariate analysis was performed to describe the influence of the total SDIP and other prognostic factors on progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS: LTPFS were mostly < or = 50 years of age and had limited, chemotherapy-sensitive, hormone-responsive MBC. Due to an apparent dose-survival relationship, an increase by 10 units (U) in the SDIP increased the PFS time by 3 months. Independent predictors of an improved PFS were positive estrogen receptors (P = 0.001), positive combined hormone receptors (P = 0.020), and a complete remission/no evidence of disease status after HDCT (P < 0.001). In patients who had a disease-free interval (DFI) >24 months after primary surgery, an SDIP of >55 U was independently associated with a longer PFS [hazard ratio (HR) = 2.73; 95% confidence interval 1.29-5.81; P = 0.009]. CONCLUSION: HDCT can achieve long-term PFS in young MBC patients with limited, hormone-responsive and chemotherapy-sensitive disease. After a DFI >24 months, a longer PFS is associated with a higher chemotherapy dose as measured by SDIP. These retrospective analyses suggest SDIP might be a tool for studying cumulative dose as a determinant of outcome of MBC chemotherapy. Thus far, however, we cannot clearly identify any subgroup of MBC patients in whom HDCT with ASCT is of particular benefit.

OBJECTIVES: To study the correlation between serum concentrations of adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol in relation to severity of disease in children with meningococcal sepsis. METHODS: Subjects were children with meningococcal sepsis, admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit. Clinical data, laboratory values and blood samples were selected. Arterial cortisol, ACTH, interleukin 6 and tumor necrosis factor alpha concentrations were measured on admission and studied for their relation to severity of disease (sepsis, septic shock/survivors, septic shock/nonsurvivors). RESULTS: Seventy-two patients fulfilled the criteria for meningococcal sepsis. Sixty-two of these children with positive blood cultures of Neisseria meningitidis, who were not treated with corticosteroids before admission, were included. Fifty of the 62 patients had septic shock. Twelve of those children (24%) died. The median age of the subjects was 2.6 years (range, 0.3 to 16.1 years). Cortisol values were significantly lower in non-survivors (median, 654 nmol/l) than in survivors (median, 2184 nmol/l) (P < 0.01). ACTH values were significantly higher in children who died (median, 1271 ng/l) than in survivors (85 ng/l) (P < 0.01). The median cortisol:ACTH ratio decreased significantly depending on the disease severity categories. CONCLUSIONS: Low serum cortisol concentrations in combination with high ACTH concentrations are associated with poor outcome in children with severe meningococcal disease.

The goal of this study was to determine the effect of two somatostatin analogs, Woc4D and octreotide, on oxygen induced retinopathy in the mouse. Oxygen induced retinopathy was produced in C57BL6 mice. Octreotide and Woc4D were administered from post-natal day 12-16. Retinopathy was assessed by a retinal scoring system utilizing fluorescein perfused retinal whole mounts. Animals treated with Woc4D and octreotide, respectively, had median retinopathy scores of 4(3,5) [median(25th, 75th quartile)] with P = 0.01 and 3.5(2.9,4.3) with P = 0.01 compared to oxygen and sham treated oxygen animals with scores of 6.6(5.3,8.5) and 7.4(5.8,8.6), respectively. Woc4D and octreotide treated animals had decreased blood vessel tufts and decreased extra-retinal neovascularization when compared to oxygen treated animals. Pituitary growth hormone (GH) mRNA expression was increased 8.3-fold by Woc4D treatment and 106-fold by oxygen exposure, and GH and mRNA was markedly reduced by Woc4D as well as octreotide. Growth as measured by animal weight was unaffected by either treatment. Woc4D and octreotide inhibited retinal neovascularization in an equally effective manner in the mouse model of oxygen induced retinopathy. 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Sudden, and premature hair loss and baldness is a problem in many ways. Baldness is indeed becoming an increasing concern in the current aging society.
It changes personal appearance and identity in social context. Saw palmetto berry extract is a widely known herbfor hair loss as well as BPH problems in Western world. Saw palmetto berry contains phytochemicals that inhibits 5-alpha-reductase that converts testosterone to DHT.

There are a number of traditional herbs that could stop hair loss and promotes hair growth. Numerous personal experiences and anecdotal cases testify that the herbal formula based on the Chinese herbs improves the situation of the age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a large fraction of people taking it regularly. It is unknown how Hair Million herbs stop hair loss, and promote hair growth due to the lack of scientific research and placebo controlled clinical trials.

DHEA is a natural hormone, and it is produced in our body by the adrenal glands. DHEA has been suggested to provide numerous potential benefits. DHEA (or dehydroepiandrosterone) is converted into androgens (male hormones) or estrogens (female hormones) in the cells. Our bodies produce decreasing amount of DHEA as we get older. various health benefits: To deter aging, improve sexual function/erectile dysfunction, treat cognitive decline, enhance athletic performance, facilitate weight loss, improve strength, prevent osteoporosis, enhance immunomodulation for rheumatic conditions, and treat depression.
