Role of Long-Acting Porcine Sequence ACTH (Acton Prolongatum) Stimulated Cortisol in Assessing Glucocorticoid Status in COVID-19 Patients.
Indian J Endocrinol Metab
December 2024
Department of Endocrinology, Gandhi Medical College, Musheerabad, Secunderabad, Telangana, India.
Introduction: Conflicting research on cortisol levels and COVID-19 mortality prompted this study to comprehensively assess glucocorticoid status, its links to severity and outcomes, and the role of Acton prolongatum-stimulated cortisol.
Methods: This is a prospective observational study, conducted in 100 RT-PCR-positive COVID-19 patients of mild, moderate, and severe grades from June 2021 to May 2023. Random cortisol, plasma ACTH, and action prolongatum stimulated cortisol were measured, categorized, and analyzed.
Mild liver injury following withdrawal of long-term prednisone therapy: A case report.
World J Gastroenterol
January 2025
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou 450001, Henan Province, China.
Background: Liver injury manifesting as hepatic enzyme abnormalities, has been occasionally identified to be a feature of primary or secondary Addison's disease, an uncommon endocrine disease characterized by adrenal insufficiency. There have been no more than 30 reported cases of liver injury explicitly attributed to Addison's disease. Liver injury resulting from adrenal insufficiency due to glucocorticoid withdrawal is exceptionally rarer.

World J Gastrointest Surg
January 2025
Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Nanhua Hospital Affiliated to University of South China, Hengyang 421002, Hunan Province, China.
Background: With the continuous development of laparoscopic techniques in recent years, laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (LapTME) and laparoscopic-assisted transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) have gradually become important surgical techniques for treating low-lying rectal cancer (LRC). However, there is still controversy over the efficacy and safety of these two surgical modalities in LRC treatment.
Aim: To compare the efficacy of LapTME TaTME in patients with LRC.
The Presence of a Shelter in an Open Field Test Has Differential Effects on the Behavior and Stress Response of Two Mouse Species.

The open field test (OFT) is frequently used in research to assess anxiety-like behavior and locomotor activity. Its simple design can lead to the misconception that it is a standardized procedure comparable between laboratories. However, some modifications in the setup can cause changes in behavior.

Research Administrative Operations, Research and Innovation, King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Center, P.O. Box 3354, MBC-03, Riyadh 11211, Saudi Arabia.
A simple and efficient validated assay for quantifying 21-deoxycortisol (21-DOC), 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP), cortisol, and cortisone in human plasma has been developed using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). Analysis of plasma samples were performed on Atlantis dC18 (3 m) column using a mobile phase of 20.0 mM ammonium acetate and acetonitrile (50:50, : ) that was delivered at isocratic flow rate 0.
