Profile of collagen prolines level of anterior rectus sheath tissue in indirect inguinal hernia: A cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

A hernia is a protrusion of an organ or tissue through an abnormal anatomical channel or opening. Epidemiological data indicated an increased prevalence of inguinal hernias in patients with connective tissue diseases. The biomechanical strength of connective tissue is highly dependent on the constituent of the matrix, including collagen. Fibroblasts produce and secrete procollagen containing high concentrations of proline and lysine. Collagen integrity plays an essential role in preventing hernia formation in the abdominal wall. To investigate the relationship between collagen proline levels of the anterior rectus sheath tissue in patients with lateral inguinal hernias (indirect inguinal hernia).

Methods

The study participants consisted of 67 inguinal hernia patients. A sample of anterior rectus tissue was obtained at the time of surgery, then being washed in a PBS buffer (pH 7.4). The measurement of collagen proline levels was subsequently carried out with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Results

All study participants were male with mean age of 44 years, mean body mass index of 22.6 kg/m² and mean onset of events of 27 months. Study subjects with reducible, irreducible, and incarcerated hernias were 45.7% (44/67 cases), 14.9% (10/67) and 19.4% (13/67), respectively. The mean proline level of the study subjects was 9.20. Correlation tests showed a correlation of proline levels and age (p = 0.001), body mass index (p = 0.006), and the onset of events (p = 0.023). Meanwhile, correlation of proline levels and occupation (p = 0.235) and clinical degree (p = 0.164) were not statistically significant.

Conclusion

Presence if relationship between proline levels with age, and onset of incidence among indirect inguinal hernia patients.

Project description:ImportanceExfoliation syndrome (XFS) is a systemic connective tissue disease, and abnormal connective tissue metabolism is implicated in inguinal hernias (IH). Associating XFS with comorbid conditions may illuminate their underlying pathophysiology and affect clinical screening and treatment. Exfoliation syndrome involves altered systemic extracellular matrix (ECM) homeostasis involving elastin metabolism. Hernias occur owing to abnormal ECM synthesis, metabolism, or repair. Inguinal hernias involve weakening or rupture of the abdominal/groin wall.ObjectiveTo determine an association between patients with XFS and patients with IH in Utah, possibly differing between direct or indirect hernia.Design, setting, and participantsCross-sectional study in a large health care system of Utah hospitals and clinics. Conditional logistic regression odds ratios were used to estimate risk of XFS in patients with IH overall and by subtype (direct or indirect) compared with control individuals. Codes specific to direct and indirect IH with additional medical records review of 186 procedures were used to classify IH subtypes that were not prespecified. Bootstrap resampling with jackknife estimation used to calculate 95% confidence intervals. The model accounted for matching on sex and age and adjusted for body mass index and tobacco use. Population-based sample using medical records from 1996 to 2015 that identified 2594 patients 40 years or older on January 1, 1996, with surgical IH repair and 12 966 random control patients with no IH history matched 5:1 on sex and birth year. Data were analyzed between September 10, 2017, and October 23, 2017.Main outcomes and measuresExfoliation syndrome outcome defined by diagnosis codes for XFS or exfoliation glaucoma from 1996 to 2015.ResultsParticipants were primarily white (2532 of 2594 patients, [96.1%]; 12 454 of 12 966 control individuals [97.6%]) and non-Hispanic (2396 of 2594 patients [92.4%]); 250 participants were women (9.6%). Of study participants, 22 patients with IH and 43 control individuals were diagnosed as having XFS, respectively. Patients with IH had a 2.3-fold risk for an XFS diagnosis compared with control individuals (95% CI, 1.4-3.5; P = .03), and XFS risk with indirect IH appeared especially pronounced.Conclusions and relevanceInguinal hernia was associated with an increased risk of XFS in this Utah population. Further work is needed to understand the pathophysiology, genetics, and environmental factors contributing to both diseases.

Project description:Introduction Risk factors associated with inguinal hernia include a patent processus vaginalis due to an obliteration failure, defects in the transversalis fascia, increased intra-abdominal pressure, smoking, malnutrition, genetic factors, connective tissue defects and impaired collagen metabolism. Type I collagen predominates in the fascia, which plays a key role in the development of an inguinal hernia. Molecularly, the production of abnormal matrix components or increased inflammatory mediators in collagen such as TNF-α has a very important role in the occurrence of inflammation in inguinal hernias. The study aimed to determine the factors associated with TNF-alpha levels in patients with indirect inguinal hernias. Methods We evaluate the effect of TNF-α on the anterior rectus sheath tissue collagen in 46 patients with indirect inguinal hernia using a cross-sectional study design. The ELISA method was used to evaluate the levels of collagen TNF-α. We used ANOVA, Pearson's correlation test, and Spearman's correlation test to determine which results were statistically significant, defined by a p-value < 0.05. Results Body mass index (BMI) average results were 25.7 kg/m2. Mean clinical onset was 70.13 months across 46 samples. TNF-α levels and BMI were correlated (p = 0.009). The TNF-α levels in the clinical-grade group (p = 0.044) and the clinical onset group (p = 0.047) varied according to ANOVA. Conclusion Clinical onset, BMI, clinical grade of indirect inguinal hernia, and TNF-α levels have a significant relationship. Highlights • Several risk factors are associated with inguinal hernia.• TNF-α inhibits the synthesis of structural components, which lowers extracellular matrix deposition.• TNF-α inhibits type I collagen gene expression by TGF-β, disrupting the structure and strength of the abdominal wall.• Clinical onset, body mass index, and clinical grade of indirect inguinal hernia all significantly correlate with TNF-α levels.• Age and occupational group do not have a significant relationship with TNF-α levels.
