    Notes: Summary The incidence of diabetic nephropathy in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) may depend on factors other than the quality of diabetes control. Hypertension is an additional factor associated with a high degree of renal involvement in IDDM. One abnormality consistantly observed in various tissues of patients with essential hypertension is enhanced activity of the Na+/H+ antiport. In the present study we have therefore studied platelet antiport activity in 41 healthy subjects (control), in 22 patients with untreated essential hypertension (EH), and in 35 normotensive IDDM patients (type 1). Of these patients 17 exhibited signs of diabetic nephropathy (group 1) while 18 had no evidence for renal involvement of IDDM in spite of a duration of IDDM of at least 10 years (group 2). The two IDDM patient groups were undistinguishable with respect to age, body mass index, and arterial blood pressure (group 1, 117.9±2.4/78.4±1.5 mmHg; group 2, 113.9±3.6/76.1±1.8 mmHg). Antiporter activity was determined from the rate of cell volume changes induced by propionic acid. Platelet Na+/H+ exchange activity averaged 23.43±0.43 10−3·s−1 in control subjects and was markedly elevated in EH (28.38±0.62 10−3·s−1 P〈0.01). Antiport activity in group 2 patients without nephropathy averaged 24.54±0.57 10−3·s−1 and was undistinguishable from the control group. However, platelet Na+/H+ antiport activity was significantly stimulated in group 1 patients with nephropathy as compared to group 2(26.95±0.73 10−3. s−1 ; P〈0.025). Our results show that renal involvement in IDDM is associated with enhanced activity of the platelet Na+/H+ antiport.

    Notes: Abstract The Na+/H+ antiport is a membrane transport protein that extrudes intracellular protons in exchange for extracellular sodium. Some details of its physiological and pathophysiological role remain poorly defined. Experimental evidence suggests that the antiporter is involved in the regulation of cell volume. In the present study, we therefore investigated the activity of the lymphocyte Na+/H+ antiport in nine healthy volunteers following acute hypertonic (2.5%) saline infusion (4 mmol NaCl/kg over 120 min). Antiport activity was measured after acidifying the cells with Na+ propionate (5–40 mM) using the fluorescent dye bis-carboxyethyl carboxyfluorescein. Hypertonic saline induced significant increases in plasma osmolality (308.4±2.3 vs. 293.5±2.7 mOsm/kg; P〈0.01), serum Na+ (150.8±3.7 vs. 138.9±0.5 mmol/kg; P〈0.01), and Cl− concentrations (118.0±3.9 vs. 101.1±1.0 mmol/kg; P〈0.01). Extracellular hypertonicity was followed by a stimulated activity of the lymphocyte Na+/H+ antiport with an increase in the apparent V max values from 2.44±0.16 to 3.27±0.34 10−3 s−1 (P〈0.01) and a slight rise in pK from 6.81±0.03 to 6.87±0.03 (P〈0.05) after hypertonic saline. In addition to antiport activation, cytosolic alkalinization was observed with cytosolic pH values averaging 6.90±0.02 before and 6.99±0.02 (P〈0.01) after hypertonic saline. Our results show for the first time that acute extracellular hypertonicity in man due to hypertonic NaCl loading is associated with a stimulated lymphocyte Na+/H+ antiport activity and cytosolic alkalinization.

    Occupational physical activity and colon cancer risk in Turkey (1992)

    Notes: Abstract A case-control study of 107 colon cancer cases and 486 controls from an oncological clinic in Istanbul was conducted to examine the association between occupational physical activity and colon cancer in Turkey, where incidence of this disease is low. Only two of the four activity measures showed evidence of an increased colon cancer risk for sedentary jobs (time spent sitting OR= 1.5 and occupational energy expenditure OR= 1.6); neither was statistically significant. Subjects below age 55 showed higher risk associated with sedentary jobs than did the older age group, probably due to their adoption of a more western lifestyle, including dietary habits, less activity, and other factors that may interact to increase the risk of colon cancer.

    Notes: A multiple-site case-control study of 15 cancers (stomach; colon; rectum; larynx; lung; melanoma; skin; female breast; male breast; cervix; ovary; uterus; prostate; testis; and bladder) was conducted to evaluate their association with occupational physical activity and socioeconomic status (SES). A hospital-based study population (3,486 male cases and 379 female cases, and 2,127 male and 244 female controls) was established in an oncological treatment center in Istanbul, Turkey, from 1979–84. Assessment of physical activity and SES was based on job titles held by the study subjects. Two measures of physical activity were developed based on energy expenditure and ‘sitting time’ during working hours. Observed risks were adjusted for age, smoking, and SES. Elevated risks were observed among workers who held sedentary jobs for cancers of the colon (odds ratio [OR=1.6), rectum (OR=1.3), melanoma (OR=1.9), male breast (OR=1.4), prostate (OR=5.0), and ovary (OR=2.0). Cancers of the cervix and uterus showed significantly decreasing risks with decreased activity. Risks of cancers of the colon, rectum, larynx, ovary, and melanoma were enhanced after risks for physical activity indices were adjusted for SES, while the associations between physical activity and cancers of the prostate, cervix, and uterus were weakened after SES adjustment. Risks of melanoma rose significantly with both activity indices after SES adjustment. The results of this study support previously reported associations between physical activity and cancers of the colon and rectum observed in developed countries, and provide additional evidence for cancers of the larynx, prostate, cervix, uterus, and melanoma, and point out the importance of SES in evaluation of physical activity and cancers of the colon, rectum, larynx, prostate, breast, cervix, and melanoma in developing countries.
