Impact of healthy diet and physical activity on metabolic health in men and women: Study Protocol Clinical Trial (SPIRIT Compliant).

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION:Healthy dietary patterns and physical activity (PA) represent important lifestyle behaviors with considerable potential to influence on age-related metabolic health. Yet, data on the combined effects of these lifestyle behaviors on metabolic health including low-grade systemic inflammation in aging populations remain scarce. Therefore, this protocol describes a randomized controlled trial aiming to examine the impacts of healthy dietary patterns alone or combined with PA on metabolic health in middle-aged and older men and women. MATERIAL AND METHODS:The ORUDIET study is a 3-arm randomized controlled 16-week trial: Healthy Diet (HD), Healthy diet plus PA (HD-PA), and control (CON). The trial is open label, randomized with allocation concealment, parallel groups with passive controls. Participants without overt disease aged between 55 and 70 years, with BMI below 35, a current intake of a maximum of 1 serving of fruit and vegetable per day, and noncompliance to PA guidelines are eligible for inclusion. Participants in HD are instructed to increase fruit and vegetable intake to 5 servings per day (equivalent to 500?g). Participants in HD-PA receive the same dietary intervention as the HD and are additionally instructed to engage in moderate-to-vigorous physical activities for at least 150?minutes per week. The primary study outcomes are changes in metabolic and inflammatory health biomarkers. Secondary outcomes are changes in body composition and perceived health. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION:The study protocol has been approved by the ethical review board in Uppsala, Sweden. The results will be published in peer-reviewed journals and disseminated in national and international conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER:NCT04062682 Pre-results.

Project description:IntroductionWhile the role of early mobilization in the immediate postinfarction period has been well demonstrated, little is known in present about the link between early mobilization and reduction of systemic inflammation. At the same time, the impact of early mobilization on regression of left ventricular remodeling has not been elucidated so far.Material and methodsHere we present the study protocol of the REHAB trial, a clinical descriptive, prospective study, conducted in a single-center, with the purpose to analyze the impact of early mobilization in reducing left ventricular remodeling, the complication rates and mortality in patients who had suffered a recent acute myocardial infarction (AMI). At the same time, the study aims to demonstrate the contribution of early mobilization to reduction of systemic inflammation, thus reducing the inflammation-mediated ventricular remodeling. 100 patients with AMI in the last 12 hours, and successful revascularization of the culprit artery within the first 12 hours after the onset of symptoms in ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction or within first 48 hours in non ST-segment elevation AMI will be enrolled in the study. Based on the moment of mobilization after AMI patients will be distributed in 2 groups: group 1 - patients with early mobilization (<2 days after the onset of symptoms) and; group 2 - subjects with delayed mobilization after AMI (>2 days after the onset of symptoms). Study outcomes will consist in the impact of early mobilization after AMI on the ventricular remodeling in the post-infarction period, as assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, the rate of in-hospital mortality, the rate of repeated revascularization or MACE and the effect of early mobilization on systemic inflammation in the immediate postinfarction phase.ConclusionIn conclusion, REHAB will be the first trial that will elucidate the impact of early mobilization in the first period after AMI, as a first step of a complex cardiac rehabilitation program, to reduce systemic inflammation and prevent deleterious ventricular remodeling in patients who suffered a recent AMI.

Project description:BackgroundBreast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in females and disease recurrence remains a significant problem. To prevent recurrence, tamoxifen is prescribed for at least 5 years. However, among patients who receive tamoxifen, individual responses are highly variable. These responses are affected by the type, frequency, and severity of endocrine symptoms, as well as adherence rates. Polymorphisms in genes involved in the metabolism of tamoxifen (ie, CYP3A4, CYP2D6) may influence responses to tamoxifen. In this study, the inter-relationships among endocrine symptoms, drug adherence, and genetic polymorphisms in Chinese breast cancer patients receiving tamoxifen therapy will be examined. We hypothesize that patients with more severe endocrine symptoms will be less likely to adhere to tamoxifen treatment. In addition, we hypothesize that a relationship will exist between the severity of tamoxifen-induced symptoms and allelic variations in tamoxifen metabolism-related genes. Although many association studies have determined that select genotypes influence the efficacy of tamoxifen, very few studies have investigated for associations between tamoxifen-induced endocrine symptoms and these polymorphisms.ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to characterize genetic polymorphisms in tamoxifen metabolism-associated genes in Chinese women with breast cancer and to explore the inter-relationships between genetic polymorphisms, endocrine symptoms, and adherence to tamoxifen.MethodWe will conduct a prospective cohort study that follows 200 Chinese women over 18 months and assess treatment-related symptoms and genetic variations. Endocrine symptoms and drug adherence will be determined through interview-administered standardized questionnaires. Polymorphisms in drug metabolism genes will be determined using real-time polymerase chain reaction based genotyping method. Data will be analyzed to determine associations between allelic variations, endocrine symptoms, and adherence.DiscussionThe proposed study will evaluate for polymorphisms in gene(s) that are associated with tamoxifen-related endocrine symptoms and adherence with tamoxifen. We will explore the relationships between genotypes, endocrine symptoms, and drug adherence in Chinese breast cancer patients. Findings from this study may assist clinicians to identify patients at higher risk for a worse symptom experience and lower adherence rates and enable them to initiate appropriate interventions. In the long term, the findings from this study may be used to develop and test tailored symptom management interventions for these patients.

Project description:BackgroundFunctional dyspepsia (FD) is a highly prevalent functional gastrointestinal disorder which brings a significant impact on patients' quality of life. Although there are many available treatments to alleviate dyspepsia symptoms, most of them are far from satisfactory. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has shown good potential in the treatment of FD, especially in terms of improving symptoms and adverse effects of Western medicine. Qizhi Weitong granule (QZWTG), a TCM preparation, has been utilized in treating FD for a long time and has achieved good clinical results. However, the existing evidence of its efficacy and mechanism of action is insufficient. Hence, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of QZWTG in the treatment of FD.MethodsThis study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, double-placebo, positive drug parallel controlled clinical study. The experiment will be carried out in 8 hospitals at the same time, and a total of 384 cases of participants will be randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group (n = 192). The experimental group will be given QZWTG and Mosapride citrate tablet placebo, and the control group will be given QZWTG placebo and Mosapride citrate tablet. After 4 weeks of intervention and 2 weeks of follow-up, the efficacy and safety of QZWTG in patients with FD will be observed. The primary outcomes are the change in the main symptom score. The secondary outcomes include TCM syndrome evaluation, the change of the Hamilton anxiety scale and the Hamilton depression scale, and advanced events. This study will explore the biological mechanism of QZWTG in the treatment of FD through the results of blood and urine metabolomics.DiscussionThis trial will provide first-hand evidence on whether QZWTG is noninferior to Mosapride citrate tablet. There will be a new option for the treatment of FD if noninferiority is set up. In addition, the efficacy and safety of QZWTG in the treatment of FD will be evaluated, and the mechanism of QZWTG in the treatment of FD will be explored through the metabolomics of blood and urine. On the other hand, as far as we know, this study may be the largest trial of efficacy and safety of QZWTG in the treatment of FD, which has important application value.
