BACKGROUNDSerum uromodulin (SUmod) and carbamylated albumin (C-Alb) are emerging biomarkers for chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression and mortality. SUmod reflects tubular health, while C-Alb is associated with excretory kidney function, CKD progression, and cardiovascular (CV) mortality. We hypothesized that the combined use of these markers would improve mortality risk assessments.METHODSWe analyzed the associations of C-Alb and SUmod levels with the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) along with their combined predictive value for assessing mortality in 3316 participants of the Ludwigshafen Risk and Cardiovascular Health study showing mid to high CV risk.RESULTSSUmod correlated moderately with eGFR (ρ = 0.39, P < 0.001) and weakly and inversely with C-Alb (ρ = -0.19, P < 0.001); C-Alb negatively correlated with eGFR (ρ = -0.38, P < 0.001). Patients in the C-Alb high/SUmod low group had the highest mortality risk [hazard ratio (HR)= 3.30; 95% CI, 2.73-3.99], which remained significant after adjustment for confounders, including eGFR (HR = 1.89; 95% CI, 1.24-1.89). In risk-prediction models for all-cause mortality, adding SUmod increased the area under the curve (AUC) from 0.728 to 0.746 (P < 0.001), C-Alb to 0.738 (P = 0.026), and both combined to 0.751 (P < 0.001). For CV mortality, AUC rose from 0.698 to 0.721 with SUmod (P < 0.001), to 0.711 with C-Alb (P = 0.018), and to 0.727 (P = 0.004) in the combined model.CONCLUSIONSSUmod and C-Alb levels yield complementary insights into kidney function, biology, and mortality risk beyond eGFR. Low SUmod/high C-Alb revealed the highest mortality risk, even after multivariate adjustment.GERMAN CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTER NUMBERDRKS00032641.
背景:血清尿调蛋白(SUmod)和氨甲酰化白蛋白(C-Alb)是慢性肾脏疾病(CKD)进展和死亡率的新兴生物标志物。SUmod反映肾小管健康,而C-Alb与排泄肾功能、CKD进展和心血管(CV)死亡率相关。我们假设这些指标的联合使用将改善死亡风险评估。方法:我们分析了C-Alb和SUmod水平与估计肾小球滤过率(eGFR)的关系,以及它们对评估死亡率的综合预测价值,研究对象为3316名路德维希港风险和心血管健康研究的参与者,显示出中高CV风险。结果sumod与eGFR呈正相关(ρ = 0.39, P < 0.001),与C-Alb呈弱负相关(ρ = -0.19, P < 0.001);C-Alb与eGFR呈负相关(ρ = -0.38, P < 0.001)。C-Alb高/SUmod低组患者死亡风险最高[危险比(HR)= 3.30;95% CI, 2.73-3.99],在校正混杂因素(包括eGFR)后仍然显著(HR = 1.89; 95% CI, 1.24-1.89)。在全因死亡率的风险预测模型中,SUmod的加入使曲线下面积(AUC)从0.728增加到0.746 (P < 0.001), C-Alb增加到0.738 (P = 0.026),两者联合增加到0.751 (P < 0.001)。对于CV死亡率,SUmod组的AUC从0.698上升到0.721 (P < 0.001), C-Alb组上升到0.711 (P = 0.018),联合模型上升到0.727 (P = 0.004)。结论:sumod和C-Alb水平对eGFR以外的肾功能、生物学和死亡风险有补充的见解。低SUmod/高C-Alb显示出最高的死亡风险,即使在多因素调整后也是如此。德国临床试验注册编号为drks00032641。

BACKGROUNDHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) encompasses the use of antiviral medications to prevent HIV acquisition in individuals without HIV who are at risk. Currently available HIV PrEP medications are nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and integrase inhibitors. HIV testing is required to confirm that patients do not have an HIV infection before PrEP, when restarting PrEP after a long pause, and during ongoing maintenance of PrEP.CONTENTThis article reviews current practices and recent developments in PrEP. Daily oral HIV PrEP is a common approach for HIV PrEP. The challenge with oral HIV PrEP is medication adherence. Recently, long-acting injectable medications for HIV PrEP have become available, which may improve adherence. HIV testing plays a critical role in PrEP programs. Methods for HIV testing for PrEP programs include laboratory-based antigen/antibody immunoassays, rapid testing with reflex confirmation, and RNA testing. The World Health Organization encourages the use of rapid HIV assays for self-testing because provider-administered testing may be a barrier to PrEP uptake. Currently available HIV self-testing (HIVST) methods are primarily antibody-based rapid assays. To improve the effectiveness of HIV PrEP, a greater range of medications, including novel long-acting antiretroviral agents, broadly neutralizing antibodies, and other drugs, are needed. Additionally, more accessible PrEP service delivery and high-sensitivity HIV tests, especially nucleic acid-based HIVST methods, are warranted.SUMMARYHIV PrEP and related monitoring are essential parts of HIV prevention. More effective medications will improve the effectiveness of HIV PrEP, and more accessible PrEP service delivery and high-sensitivity HIV tests, especially HIVST methods, can improve HIV prevention with PrEP.
人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)暴露前预防(PrEP)包括使用抗病毒药物来预防没有HIV的高危个体感染HIV。目前可用的HIV PrEP药物是核苷逆转录酶抑制剂和整合酶抑制剂。需要进行HIV检测以确认患者在PrEP前、在长时间暂停后重新开始PrEP以及在持续维持PrEP期间没有HIV感染。本文回顾了PrEP的当前实践和最新进展。每日口服HIV PrEP是HIV PrEP的常用方法。最近,针对HIV PrEP的长效注射药物已经可用,这可能会提高依从性。艾滋病毒检测在预防项目中起着关键作用。PrEP项目的HIV检测方法包括基于实验室的抗原/抗体免疫测定、反射确认的快速检测和RNA检测。世界卫生组织鼓励使用艾滋病毒快速检测方法进行自我检测,因为由提供者提供的检测可能会阻碍预防措施的使用。目前可用的艾滋病毒自我检测方法主要是基于抗体的快速检测。为了提高HIV PrEP的有效性,需要更广泛的药物,包括新型长效抗逆转录病毒药物、广泛中和抗体和其他药物。此外,有必要提供更容易获得的PrEP服务和高灵敏度的艾滋病毒检测,特别是基于核酸的艾滋病毒检测方法。HIV PrEP及相关监测是HIV预防的重要组成部分。更有效的药物将提高艾滋病毒PrEP的有效性,更容易获得的PrEP服务和高灵敏度的艾滋病毒检测,特别是艾滋病毒传播方法,可以改善PrEP的艾滋病毒预防。

Background: Serum glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is a biomarker for astrocytic injury and astrogliosis. Concentrations are elevated in numerous neurological disorders, including a pronounced increase in Alzheimer disease (AD). However, GFAP levels in the serum also increase with age. Consequently, the integration of GFAP levels into clinical routine and their interpretation demands age-adjusted reference values.

Methods: Serum from 1273 subjects (952 noninflammatory and nonneurodegenerative neurological controls and 321 subjects with AD) was analyzed for GFAP using the microfluidic Ella system. Age-dependent serum GFAP reference values were estimated by additive quantile regression analysis and visualized with percentiles and z-scores.

Results: AD exhibited elevated serum GFAP levels in comparison to control patients (P < 0.0001). This remained the case when the newly generated age-corrected z-scores were applied (P < 0.0001). In the control cohort, a nonlinear elevation of serum GFAP with increasing age was observed (Spearman correlation coefficient 0.62, 95% CI 0.58-0.66, P < 0.0001). In contrast, the AD cohort exhibited a more linear increase (0.16, 95% CI 0.05-0.26, P = 0.004). Age-dependent cut-offs for serum GFAP were determined for different AD age groups. The calculated areas under the curve (AUCs; 0.97) demonstrated excellent diagnostic test performance in the early-onset age group. This effect was less marked in the elderly subjects (AUC 0.72).

Conclusions: Our novel GFAP z-scores enable the integration and interpretation of serum GFAP levels in clinical practice, moving from the group to individual level. They support both intra- and interindividual interpretation of single GFAP levels in neurological diseases with astrocytic pathology, including an accurate discrimination of AD.

背景:血清胶质原纤维酸性蛋白(GFAP)是星形胶质细胞损伤和星形胶质增生的生物标志物。在许多神经系统疾病中浓度升高,包括阿尔茨海默病(AD)的显著增加。然而,血清中GFAP水平也随着年龄的增长而增加。因此,将GFAP水平纳入临床常规及其解释需要年龄调整的参考值。方法:采用微流控Ella系统分析1273例血清GFAP,其中952例为非炎症性和非神经退行性神经对照,321例为AD患者。年龄依赖性血清GFAP参考值通过加性分位数回归分析估计,并以百分位数和z分数可视化。结果:AD患者血清GFAP水平高于对照组(P < 0.0001)。当应用新生成的年龄校正z分数时,情况仍然如此(P < 0.0001)。在对照组中,血清GFAP随年龄增长呈非线性升高(Spearman相关系数0.62,95% CI 0.58-0.66, P < 0.0001)。相比之下,AD组表现出更线性的增加(0.16,95% CI 0.05-0.26, P = 0.004)。测定不同AD年龄组血清GFAP的年龄依赖性截止值。计算出的曲线下面积(auc; 0.97)在早发年龄组中表现出良好的诊断测试性能。这种效应在老年受试者中不太明显(AUC为0.72)。结论:我们的新GFAP z-评分能够在临床实践中整合和解释血清GFAP水平,从群体水平转移到个体水平。它们支持在星形细胞病理的神经系统疾病中单个GFAP水平的个体内和个体间解释,包括对AD的准确区分。
