Background

Emerging evidence suggests that nutritional prehabilitation reduces risk of complications after colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery. The gut microbiota and its metabolic activity potentially link preoperative diet to postoperative outcomes.

Objective

To investigate associations between preoperative plasma levels of microbial-derived metabolites and postoperative complications in patients with CRC.

Methods

We used data from a prospective cohort study among 1220 patients with nonmetastatic CRC. The short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) acetate, propionate, butyrate, and valerate, as well as the branched-chain fatty acids (BCFAs) isovalerate, isobutyrate, and α-methylbutyrate, were measured in plasma collected at diagnosis. Prevalence ratios (PR) were calculated using regression models adjusted for age, sex, tumor location, smoking status, and physical health status.

Results

Acetate levels of 40.0 μmol/L were associated with a lower risk of any postoperative complications compared with the reference of 20.0 μmol/L [PR: 0.76; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.62, 0.93]. Higher levels of propionate (per 1 μmol/L) were associated with a lower risk of any complications (PR: 0.84; 95% CI: 0.73, 0.96). Similar associations were found for acetate (per 20 μmol/L) and propionate (per 1 μmol/L) in relation to surgical complications (PR: 0.75; 95% CI: 0.60, 0.93; and PR: 0.83; 95% CI: 0.69, 1.00; respectively). No associations were found for BCFAs in relation to complications. Low (below median) total SCFA levels combined with high (above median) total BCFA levels were least favorable in terms of complication risk (PR: 1.35; 95% CI: 1.02, 1.80) when compared with a low SCFA/low BCFA profile.

Conclusions

Our findings suggest that microbial fermentation processes, mainly those resulting in higher SCFA levels, may be linked to postoperative recovery. These findings provide leads for future studies investigating the role of preoperative diet, especially the balance between fiber and protein intake, and microbial metabolism in relation to postoperative recovery of patients with CRC.

背景:越来越多的证据表明,营养预适应可降低结直肠癌(CRC)手术后并发症的风险。肠道菌群及其代谢活动可能将术前饮食与术后预后联系起来。目的:探讨大肠癌患者术前血浆微生物衍生代谢物水平与术后并发症的关系。方法:我们使用了来自1220例非转移性结直肠癌患者的前瞻性队列研究数据。测定诊断时血浆中乙酸、丙酸、丁酸、戊酸短链脂肪酸(SCFAs)及支链脂肪酸(BCFAs)异戊酸、异丁酸和α-甲基丁酸。采用年龄、性别、肿瘤位置、吸烟状况和身体健康状况调整后的回归模型计算患病率(PR)。结果:与20.0 μmol/L的参考水平相比,40.0 μmol/L的乙酸水平与任何术后并发症的风险相关(PR为0.76;95%CI为0.62,0.93)。较高水平的丙酸(每1 μmol/L)与较低的并发症风险相关(PR = 0.84; 95%CI = 0.73, 0.96)。乙酸(每20 μmol/L)和丙酸(每1 μmol/L)与手术并发症的关系类似(PR分别为0.75;95%CI为0.60,0.93;PR为0.83;95%CI为0.69,1.00)。未发现BCFAs与并发症相关。与低SCFA/低BCFA相比,低(低于中位数)总SCFA水平结合高(高于中位数)总BCFA水平在并发症风险方面最不利(PR 1.35; 95%CI 1.02, 1.80)。结论:我们的研究结果表明,微生物发酵过程,主要是那些导致较高SCFA水平的过程,可能与术后恢复有关。这些发现为进一步研究术前饮食,特别是纤维和蛋白质摄入的平衡,以及微生物代谢在结直肠癌患者术后恢复中的作用提供了线索。临床试验详情:本研究已在clinicaltrials.gov注册,注册号为NCT03191110。

Background

Elevated plasma branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) concentrations are associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Lifestyle interventions have been proposed as a strategy to manage plasma BCAA concentrations, but evidence of their effectiveness is limited.

Objectives

We investigated the effects of comprehensive lifestyle interventions on plasma BCAA concentrations over 6 mo and associations between changes in body mass index (BMI), physical fitness, and dietary factors and plasma BCAA changes.

Methods

The PREMIER study was a randomized trial of the effects of behavioral lifestyle interventions. The interventions included counseling on diet, exercise, and weight loss (“Established”), a similar intervention with additional guidance to follow Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (“Established plus DASH”), and an Advice-Only control group. We analyzed data from 713 male and female adult participants during the 6-mo intervention period. Data and biospecimens were obtained through the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Biologic Specimen and Data Repository Information Coordinating Center repository, and plasma BCAA concentrations were measured using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Multiple linear regression was used to assess the association between intervention groups and BCAA concentrations.

Results

The Established [−7.19 μmol/L; 95% confidence interval (CI): 17.45, 3.08] and Established plus DASH (−8.70 μmol/L; 95% CI: −18.95, 1.55) interventions were associated with nonsignificant decreases in BCAA concentrations compared with the control group. Changes in BMI were correlated with changes in BCAA concentrations during the trial (partial Pearson r = 0.24, P < 0.001). Although changes in fitness and fiber intake were also significantly correlated with changes in BCAA concentrations, adjustment for BMI attenuated these correlations. Changes in the DASH and healthy plant-based diet indices and BCAA and protein intakes were not significantly correlated with plasma BCAA changes.

Conclusions

Weight loss resulting from lifestyle interventions is associated with reductions in plasma BCAA concentrations. Improvements in fitness and diet composition are not associated with changes in BCAA concentrations independent of weight loss.

背景:血浆支链氨基酸(BCAA)浓度升高与2型糖尿病和心血管疾病的高风险相关。生活方式干预已被提议作为控制血浆BCAA浓度的策略,但其有效性的证据有限。目的:我们研究了综合生活方式干预对6个月内血浆BCAA浓度的影响,以及身体质量指数(BMI)、身体健康和饮食因素变化与血浆BCAA变化之间的关系。方法:PREMIER研究是一项行为生活方式干预效果的随机试验。干预措施包括饮食、运动和减肥方面的咨询(“既定”),类似的干预措施,并提供额外的指导,以遵循饮食方法来阻止高血压(“既定加DASH”),以及仅提供建议的对照组。在6个月的干预期间,我们分析了713名男性和女性成年参与者的数据。数据和生物标本通过NHLBI BioLINCC库获得,血浆BCAA浓度通过NMR波谱测定。采用多元线性回归评估干预组与BCAA浓度之间的关系。结果:与对照组相比,建立组(-7.19 μmol/L, 95% CI为17.45,3.08)和建立组+ DASH组(-8.70 μmol/L, 95% CI为-18.95,1.55)干预与BCAA浓度无显著降低相关。在试验期间,BMI的变化与BCAA浓度的变化相关(部分Pearson r=0.24, p)。结论:生活方式干预导致的体重减轻与血浆BCAA浓度的降低相关。健康和饮食组成的改善与BCAA浓度的变化无关,独立于体重减轻。临床试验注册:https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT00000616)。

Background

The global prevalence of obesity, an established risk and progression factor for colon cancer, is high and rising. Unfortunately, the mechanisms underlying the obesity–colon cancer association are incompletely understood, and new molecular targets enabling more effective intervention strategies to break the obesity–colon cancer link are urgently needed.

Objectives

This study integrated RNA sequencing data from mouse and human colon tumor samples, as well as human adipose samples, to rigorously establish obesity-associated transcriptomic signatures conserved between the 2 species.

Methods

We employed a mouse colon cancer model with colonoscopy-guided orthotopic transplantation of syngeneic Apcnull KrasG12D/+ Trp53null Smad4null tdTomato colon tumor organoids. Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM)-positive cells from murine tumors and 193 human colon tumors and 188 human mesenteric adipose tissue samples from the prospective ColoCare Study cohort underwent transcriptomic analyses.

Results

Diet-induced obesity reduced survival in the mouse model of colon cancer. Integrated transcriptomic analyses of EpCAM-positive murine tumor cells and bulk human tumors revealed obesity-driven enrichment of inflammation and metabolic pathways, including the upregulation of genes involved in innate immune sensing (TLR2, MYD88, and IRF4) and tumor microenvironment remodeling (MMP9, TGFB1, and SERPINE1). Analysis of paired mesenteric visceral adipose tissue and tumor samples from the study patients (63 ± 13 y, 48% female, body mass index 28.9 ± 6.0 kg/m2) indicated that obesity was associated with enriched inflammatory signaling pathways through unique adipose ligand–tumor receptor interactions.

Conclusions

These results establish obesity-associated adipose tissue dysregulation as a key intertissue modulator of biology, with concordant cross-species effects on tumor cell–intrinsic inflammatory and metabolic programs.
背景:全球肥胖患病率高且呈上升趋势,肥胖是结肠癌的已知危险和进展因素。不幸的是,肥胖-结肠癌关联的机制尚不完全清楚,迫切需要新的分子靶点,以实现更有效的干预策略来打破肥胖-结肠癌的联系。目的:本研究整合了小鼠和人类结肠肿瘤样本以及人类脂肪样本的RNA测序数据,严格建立两种物种之间保守的肥胖相关转录组特征。方法:我们采用小鼠结肠癌模型colonoscopy-guided原位移植的同源的Apc-null; KrasG12D / +; Trp53-null; Smad4-null;td番茄结肠肿瘤类器官。对来自小鼠肿瘤、193个人类结肠肿瘤和188个人类肠系膜脂肪组织样本的上皮细胞粘附分子(EpCAM)阳性细胞进行转录组学分析。结果:饮食性肥胖降低结肠癌小鼠模型的存活率。对epcam阳性小鼠肿瘤细胞和大部分人类肿瘤的综合转录组学分析显示,肥胖驱动炎症和代谢途径的富集,包括先天免疫感知基因(TLR2、MYD88、IRF4)和肿瘤微环境重塑基因(MMP9、TGFB1、SERPINE1)的上调。对研究患者(63±13岁,48%为女性,BMI: 28.9±6.0 kg/m2)的肠系膜内脏脂肪组织和肿瘤样本的配对分析表明,肥胖通过独特的脂肪配体-肿瘤受体相互作用与丰富的炎症信号通路相关。结论:这些结果表明,肥胖相关的脂肪组织失调是生物学中关键的组织间调节因子,对肿瘤细胞内在炎症和代谢程序具有一致的跨物种影响。

Background

Automated image-based dietary assessments (IBDAs) using multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots show strong potential. However, sources of error at the human–AI interface in real-world use remain unclear.

Objectives

In this study, we validated a GPT-4o-powered chatbot for automated IBDAs and identified key sources of error in free-living settings.

Methods

In total, 714 food images were collected from 3-d weighed food records (WFRs) across 171 d from 57 young adults. Images were analyzed using 4 AI configurations: Diabot (DB), DBFN (customized GPT-4o), 4o, and 4oFN (noncustomized), where “FN” indicates inclusion of the food name input. Portion sizes and nutrient estimates were compared with WFRs using Bland–Altman plots with equivalence testing at ±10%, ±15%, and ±20% bounds.

Results

Using images alone, DB recognized 74% of food items versus 59% for 4o. All AI configurations provided accurate estimates of portion sizes (±10%–15%, coefficient of variation [CV]: 13%), energy (±10%–20%, CV: 14%), and carbohydrates (CHOs; ±15%–20%, CV: 15%) but showed less consistency for fats (±10%–22%, CV: 24%) and proteins (±10%–>20.2%, CV: 18%). The custom DBFN outperformed 4oFN, achieving higher accuracy across more nutrients within the ±10% (weight, energy, fats, saturated fats, potassium, and magnesium), ±15% (proteins and sodium), and ±20% (CHOs and calcium) bounds and achieved the highest agreement with WFRs (Spearman’s ρ = 0.863–0.662; Lin’s concordance correlation coefficient = 0.874–0.540). Common errors at the human–AI interface included inaccurate portion-size estimates, obscured food visibility in images, poorly constructed prompts, omission or intrusion errors, and system-specific limitations, such as processing overload and configuration inconsistencies.

Conclusions

Customized AI chatbots improved automated IBDAs, yet accuracy depends on clear images for food visibility and portion-size fidelity. Standardized AI-input procedures (FN, cooking state, prompt structure, and configuration) and expert oversight to detect and correct AI hallucinations (fabricated items, units, or quantities) remain essential for reliable, interpretable estimates.
背景:使用多模态人工智能(AI)聊天机器人的基于图像的自动饮食评估(IBDAs)显示出强大的潜力。然而,在实际使用中,人机界面的错误来源仍不清楚。目的:在本研究中,我们验证了gpt - 40驱动的自动ibda聊天机器人,并确定了自由生活环境中的主要错误来源。方法:在171天的时间里,从57名年轻成年人的3天称重食物记录(WFRs)中收集了714张食物图像。使用四种AI配置对图像进行分析:Diabot (DB)、DBFN(定制gpt - 40)、40和4oFN(非定制),其中“FN”表示包含食品名称输入。采用Bland-Altman图,在±10%、±15%和±20%界限下进行等效检验,比较份量和营养估计值与WFRs。结果:仅使用图像,DB识别了74%的食物,而40种食物识别了59%。所有人工智能配置都提供了准确的分量估计(±10%-15%,变异系数(CV): 13%)、能量(±10%-20%,CV: 14%)和碳水化合物(±15%-20%,CV: 15%),但对脂肪(±10%-22%,CV: 24%)和蛋白质(±10%->20.2%,CV: 18%)的一致性较差。定制DBFN优于4oFN,在±10%(体重、能量、脂肪、饱和脂肪、钾和镁)、±15%(蛋白质和钠)和±20%(碳水化合物和钙)范围内的更多营养物质上获得更高的准确性,并与wfr达到最高的一致性(Spearman ρ = 0.863-0.662; Lin的一致性相关系数= 0.874-0.540)。人机界面的常见错误包括不准确的分量估计,图像中模糊的食物可见性,构造不良的提示,遗漏或入侵错误,以及系统特定的限制,如处理过载和配置不一致。结论:定制的AI聊天机器人改善了自动化ibda,但准确性取决于食物可见性和部分大小保真度的清晰图像。标准化的人工智能输入程序(FN、烹饪状态、提示结构和配置)和专家监督来检测和纠正人工智能幻觉(捏造的物品、单位或数量)对于可靠、可解释的估计仍然至关重要。

Background

The temporal variability of caffeine and caffeine metabolite concentrations in spot urine samples is unknown. Understanding this variability in both unadjusted and flow-adjusted measurements is essential to assess the suitability of spot urine sampling for measuring these compounds and estimate the number of samples required for reliable measurements.

Objectives

This study aimed to examine the temporal variability of unadjusted and flow-adjusted concentrations of caffeine and its metabolites in spot urine samples, both within and between individuals, over short-to-intermediate timeframes.

Methods

We measured urine caffeine and 14 caffeine metabolite concentrations in 1749 spot samples collected from a cohort of 50 adults over a 6-wk period from the Pilot Study to Estimate Human Exposures to Pyrethroids using an Exposure Reconstruction Approach. We calculated between- and within-person variances, 95%-fold ranges, and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for unadjusted, flow rate-, creatinine-, and specific gravity-adjusted analyte concentrations over timeframes of 24 h, 1 wk, and 6 wk. Additionally, we estimated the number of spot urine samples needed for reliable measurements (ICC ≥ 0.80).

Results

We found that ICCs were the highest in the 24-h timeframe, with 69% of analyte × urine flow adjustment combinations yielding median ICCs ≥0.80 (range: 0.62–0.94). ICCs decreased as the timeframe increased (1-wk median ICC range: 0.49–0.84; 6-wk ICC range: 0.37–0.76). Caffeine showed no ICC improvement with urine flow adjustments, whereas dimethylxanthines showed mixed results. Later-forming metabolites consistently showed ICC improvement across all types of urine flow adjustments.

Conclusions

Overall, 1–2 spot urine samples were sufficient to obtain a reliable concentration estimate (ICC ≥ 0.80) for caffeine and most caffeine metabolites during 24-h or 1-wk sampling timeframes with appropriate urine flow adjustment, with 2–3 spot urine samples being sufficient for sampling over 6 wk.
背景:尿样中咖啡因和咖啡因代谢物浓度的时间变异性是未知的。了解未调整和流量调整测量中的这种可变性对于评估现场尿液取样测量这些化合物的适用性以及估计可靠测量所需的样品数量至关重要。目的:研究在短期到中期的时间框架内,个体内部和个体之间的尿液样本中未经调整和流量调整的咖啡因及其代谢物浓度的时间变异性。方法:我们使用暴露重建方法(Ex-R研究)评估人类对拟除虫菊酯暴露的初步研究,在6周的时间里,从50名成人队列中收集了1749份现场样本,测量了尿液咖啡因和14种咖啡因代谢物的浓度。在24小时、1周和6周的时间框架内,我们计算了未经调整、流量、肌酐和比重调整的分析物浓度的人与人之间的差异、95%的倍数范围和类内相关系数(icc)。此外,我们估计了可靠测量所需的尿样数量(ICC≥0.80)。结果:我们发现ICCs在24小时内最高,69%的分析物×尿流调节组合的中位ICCs≥0.80(范围:0.62至0.94)。ICC随着时间范围的增加而下降(1周ICC中位数范围:0.49至0.84;6周ICC范围:0.37至0.76)。咖啡因对尿流调节的ICC没有改善作用,而二甲基黄嘌呤的效果好坏参半。在所有类型的尿流调节中,后期形成的代谢物一致显示ICC改善。结论:在适当调整尿流量的情况下,在24小时或1周的采样时间内,1至2个尿样足以获得咖啡因和大多数咖啡因代谢物的可靠浓度估计值(ICC≥0.80),2至3个尿样足以在6周内进行采样。

Background

Nutrition security encompasses access, availability, and affordability of foods that support well-being and prevent and manage diet-related conditions. Although food security is widely studied, validated nutrition security measures are not yet widespread, highlighting a critical gap in clinical and public health research and practice.

Objectives

This study aims to validate a brief Nutrition Security Screener (NSS) in the United States.

Methods

The NSS was refined in pilot studies and implemented in 5 diverse populations, totaling 20,523 adults. Two items assessed the presence and severity of nutrition insecurity (NI) and 13 corresponding barriers. Multivariable logistic regression models and pooled analyses examined distributions and associations of NI with food insecurity (FI), sociodemographic characteristics, and health.

Results

Across county, state, and national levels, NI prevalence ranged 18%–44% and varied by sociodemographic characteristics. About 60% of young adults reported NI, compared with 13% of older adults. NI was most prevalent among Hispanic/Latinx (26%–62%) compared with White (10%–40%) adults and those with the lowest (49%–65%) compared with the highest (3%–13%) income. NI only moderately correlated with FI measured by The Hunger Vital Sign (r = 0.55–0.63) and 6-item United States Department of Agriculture Module (r = 0.38–0.46), with discordance in 10%–28% of respondents. Adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics and FI, NI was independently associated with diabetes {odds ratio (OR) = 1.46 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.19, 1.79]}, obesity [OR = 1.42 (1.19, 1.70)], hypertension [OR = 1.34 (1.13, 1.59)], hypercholesterolemia [OR = 1.34 (1.11, 1.61)], heart disease [OR = 1.39 (1.05, 1.85)], and stroke [OR = 2.03 (1.08, 3.83)], but not cancer [OR = 0.98 (0.62, 1.54)]. Common barriers were expense (75%–81%), cultural or traditional foods being unhealthy (47%–75%), and limited access to healthy choices (47%–53%). Affirming more barriers was associated with higher odds of all health outcomes except cancer.

Conclusions

A brief NSS enables assessment of NI prevalence and barriers to healthy eating in diverse populations, and is independently associated with diet-related disease, informing clinical, public health, and policy efforts to screen for and address NI.
营养安全包括食物的获取、可用性和可负担性,这些食物有助于健康,并预防和管理与饮食有关的疾病。尽管对粮食安全进行了广泛的研究,但有效的营养安全措施尚未普及,这凸显了临床和公共卫生研究与实践中的重大差距。目的本研究旨在验证美国的营养安全筛选(NSS)。方法在试点研究中对NSS进行改进,并在5个不同人群中实施,共计20,523名成年人。有两个项目评估了营养不安全(NI)和13个相应障碍的存在和严重程度。多变量logistic回归模型和汇总分析检验了NI与粮食不安全(FI)、社会人口特征和健康的分布和关联。结果在县、州和全国范围内,NI患病率范围为18%-44%,并因社会人口特征而异。大约60%的年轻人报告了NI,而13%的老年人报告了NI。与白人(10%-40%)相比,西班牙裔/拉丁裔(26%-62%)和收入最低(49%-65%)与收入最高(3%-13%)的成年人中,NI最为普遍。NI与饥饿生命体征(r = 0.55-0.63)和美国农业部6项模块(r = 0.38-0.46)测量的FI仅中度相关,10%-28%的受访者不一致。调整社会人口学特征和FI后,NI与糖尿病[比值比(OR) = 1.46[95%可信区间(CI): 1.19, 1.79]}、肥胖[OR = 1.42(1.19, 1.70)]、高血压[OR = 1.34(1.13, 1.59)]、高胆固醇血症[OR = 1.34(1.11, 1.61)]、心脏病[OR = 1.39(1.05, 1.85)]、中风[OR = 2.03(1.08, 3.83)]独立相关,但与癌症[OR = 0.98(0.62, 1.54)]无关。常见的障碍是费用(75%-81%)、文化或传统食品不健康(47%-75%)以及获得健康选择的机会有限(47%-53%)。确认更多的障碍与除癌症外的所有健康结果的更高几率相关。结论:简要的NSS可以评估不同人群中NI的患病率和健康饮食障碍,并与饮食相关疾病独立相关,为临床、公共卫生和政策筛查和解决NI提供信息。
