Context: The sirtuins (SIRT1 to SIRT7) constitute a family of highly conserved nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent proteins. When activated, sirtuins control essential cellular processes to maintain metabolic homeostasis, while lack of expression of sirtuins has been related to chronic disease.
Objective: The aim of this systematic review is to analyze the role of fat consumption as a modulator of human sirtuins.
Data Sources: This review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. Studies were identified by searches of the electronic databases PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science.
Study Selection: Randomized clinical trials assessing the effect of fatty acid consumption on sirtuin mRNA expression, sirtuin protein expression, or sirtuin protein activity were eligible for inclusion.
Data Extraction: Two authors screened and determined the quality of the studies; disagreements were resolved by the third author. All authors compared the compiled data.
Results: Seven clinical studies with 3 different types of interventions involving healthy and nonhealthy participants were selected. Only SIRT1 and SIRT3 were evaluated. Overall, the evidence from clinical studies to date is insufficient to understand how lipid consumption modulates sirtuins in humans. The best-characterized mechanism highlights oleic acid as a natural activator of SIRT1.
Conclusion: These results draw attention to a new field of interest in nutrition science. The possible activation of sirtuins by dietary fat manipulation may represent an important nutritional strategy for management of chronic and metabolic disease.
Systematic Review Registration: PROSPERO registration number CRD42018114456.

Importance: Previous meta-analyses suggest that fluoride exposure is adversely associated with children's IQ scores. An individual's total fluoride exposure comes primarily from fluoride in drinking water, food, and beverages.
Objective: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of epidemiological studies investigating children's IQ scores and prenatal or postnatal fluoride exposure.

Purpose Of Review: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a gradual deterioration of articular cartilage characterized by pain and physical dysfunction. Although analgesic pharmacological agents are the first-line treatment for knee OA, they are not effective for all patients. In this study, we evaluate the efficacy of an intra-articular injection treatment using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in reducing pain and improving functional ability.

Background: Postoperative pain following laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is a major concern. The transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) is one of the anesthetic techniques that has been developed to address this issue. The TAPB can be delivered by the guidance of either ultrasound (UTAPB) or laparoscopic (LTAPB).
