Introduction: We evaluated the effects of vitamin C and thiamine administration on biomarkers in patients with septic shock.
Methods: This was a post-hoc analysis of the Ascorbic Acid and Thiamine Effect in Septic Shock (ATESS) trial, a multicenter, double-blind, randomized controlled trial. Patients were randomized to either a treatment group (intravenous vitamin C and thiamine for 48 h) or a control group. Interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, angiopoietin-II (AP2), and S100β were assessed at baseline and at 72 h. The primary outcomes were the biomarker levels at 72 h, and the secondary outcome was reduction rate.
Results: Forty-five patients were assigned to the treatment group and 52 were assigned to the control group. Baseline biomarker levels and at 72 h were not significantly different between the treatment and the placebo groups. The reduction rates were not significantly different between the two groups. These outcome variables showed fair diagnostic accuracy for predicting 28-day mortality according to the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve.
Conclusion: Vitamin C and thiamine administration during the early phase of septic shock did not significantly change prognostic biomarker levels of IL-6, IL-10, AP2, and S100β.

Background/objectives: The rise in chronic metabolic diseases has led to the exploration of alternative diets. The carnivore diet, consisting exclusively of animal products, has gained attention, anecdotally, for imparting benefit for inflammatory conditions beyond that possible by other restrictive dietary approaches. The aim was to assess the micronutrient adequacy of four versions of the carnivore diet against national nutrient reference values (NRVs).

Chinese local pig breeds have unique meat flavor. In this study, we investigated the meat quality traits and the characteristics of the nutritional flavor substances such as amino acids (AAs), fatty acids (FAs), thiamine (Vitamin B1, VB1), and inosine monophosphate (IMP) in four Shanghai local pig breeds (MMS, SW, PD, and SHW) and the commercial crossbred Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire (DLY) breed. The results showed that the intramuscular fat (IMF) and protein content in the longissimus dorsi muscle (L) of Shanghai local breeds, especially Shanghai MMS and PD breeds, were significantly higher than those of the DLY breed (-value < 0.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is an etiologically diverse metabolic dysfunction that, if untreated, leads to chronic hyperglycemia. Understanding the etiology of T2DM is critical, as it represents one of the most formidable medical challenges of the twenty-first century. Traditionally, insulin resistance has been recognized as the primary risk factor and a well-known consequence of type 2 diabetes.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of vitamin B1 in patients with ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-AW).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted to select ICU-AW patients treated with vitamin B1 in the intensive care unit (ICU) of Shanghai East Hospital, Tongji University from July 2022 to December 2023. Propensity score matching was used to match the control group and observation group at a 1 : 1 ratio, considering differences in patient age, gender, and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II).

Marchiafava-Bignami disease (MBD) is a rare condition characterized by demyelination and necrosis of the corpus callosum, most commonly associated with chronic alcohol consumption. However, it can also occur in non-alcoholic patients and may present secondary to other underlying conditions. We report a case of a 52-year-old male with no history of alcohol use or significant comorbidities, presenting with impaired consciousness and severe malnutrition.
