- The goal of this study was to investigate whether bariatric surgery is associated with substance use disorder (SUD) with substances other than alcohol.The prospective, controlled Swedish Obese Subjects study enrolled 2010 patients with obesity who underwent bariatric surgery (gastric bypass n=265; vertical banded gastroplasty n=1369; gastric banding n=376) and 2037 matched control individuals receiving usual obesity care. Participants with SUD other than alcohol use disorder were identified using International Statistical Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes from the Swedish National Patient Register (covering treatment in hospital but not primary care). Those with a history of non-alcohol SUD were excluded. Median follow-up was 23.8years.During follow-up, non-alcohol SUD incidence rates per 1000 person-years with 95% CI were 1.6 (0.8-3.1), 0.8 (0.5-1.2), 1.1 (0.5-2.2), and 0.6 (0.4-0.8) for gastric bypass, vertical banded gastroplasty, gastric banding, and control individuals, respectively. Only gastric bypass was associated with increased incidence of non-alcohol SUD (adjusted hazard ratio 2.54 [95% CI: 1.14-5.65], p=0.022) compared with control participants.Gastric bypass surgery was associated with increased risk of non-alcohol SUD, and this should be considered in long-term postoperative care.

- Mannose is a glucose-associated serum metabolite mainly released by the liver. Recent studies have shown several unexpected pleiotropic effects of mannose including increased regulatory T cells (Tregs), prevention of auto-immune disease and ability to reduce growth of human cancer cells. We have previously shown in large cohorts that elevated serum mannose levels are associated with future development of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease. However, potential direct effects of mannose on insulin sensitivity in vivo or in vitro are unknown. We here show that administration of mannose (0.1 g/kg BW twice daily) for one week in man did not elicit negative effects on meal-modified glucose tolerance, markers of inflammation or insulin levels. Tregs number and insulin signaling in human liver cells were unchanged. These data suggest that mannose is a marker, and not a mediator, of insulin resistance. To verify this, we examined serum mannose levels during long-term euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamps in non-diabetic and T2D individuals. Mannose was reduced by insulin infusion in proportion to whole-body insulin sensitivity. Thus, mannose is a biomarker of insulin resistance which may be useful for the early identification of diabetic individuals with insulin resistance and increased risk of its complications. © 2019 Elsevier Inc.

- Nutrient requirements vary across the reproductive cycle, but research on changes in nutritional intake and quality from pregnancy to beyond the lactation period is limited. Thus, we aimed to study nutritional intake and quality changes, among Swedish pregnant participants from late pregnancy to 18 months postpartum and to study the determinants of nutritional quality changes. Participants (n = 72) were studied longitudinally from the third trimester of pregnancy and postpartum (2 weeks 4, 12, and 18 months postpartum). At each visit, participant characteristics and 4-day food diaries were collected. Nutritional quality was assessed by energy adjusted Nutrient Rich Food Index 11.3. Linear mixed models were used to analyze the determinants of change in nutritional quality. Intakes of carbohydrate energy percentage (E%), fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, and potassium were higher in the third trimester compared to postpartum, whereas intakes of E% protein and monounsaturated fat were lower. Adherence to recommended intakes was low at all study visits for saturated fat (4%–11%), fiber (15%–39%), vitamin D (8%–14%), folate (0%–2%), and iron (6%–21%). Overall, nutritional quality did not differ significantly from third trimester to postpartum. Shorter duration (<4 months) of lactation was negatively related to nutritional quality changes, whereas higher age was positively related to changes. In conclusion, nutritional intake from pregnancy to postpartum changed, whereas quality remained relatively stable, with age and lactation duration as determinants. Identification of people at risk of adverse dietary changes from pregnancy to the postpartum period should be further addressed in future larger and more diverse study populations.

- Background Few studies have evaluated educational nutrition activities in undergraduate nursing, and none have published how the established food assessment method, the food diary, can be used as a pedagogical method in this context. Objective To describe undergraduate nursing students’ learning outcomes of basic nutrition and important elements for their learning after conducting a one-day food record with a subsequent seminar (henceforth: “the food diary method”). Design Cross-sectional. Setting Undergraduate nursing program in Sweden. Participants 161 students. Methods Participants conducted a one-day food record by documenting their food intake and calculating the nutritional values. After completion, students participated in a seminar, and an evaluative questionnaire was distributed at the end. The questionnaires contained both numerical and free-text questions. Results Of 162 students attending the seminar, all but one completed the questionnaire (response rate: 99%). The highest rated learning outcome, on the 5-point Likert scale, was an increased understanding for the nutritional recommendations (Median, M=5). The highest rated educational aspects were that they compared their records with the nutritional recommendations (M=5), and the calculations of nutritional values of their records (M=5). Participants also indicated that they gained information that would be useful for them as practicing nurses (M=5). Conclusions Overall, the food diary method appeared to be a feasible method in educating and engaging undergraduate nursing students in the field of basic nutrition. These findings support results from previous studies in this area, such that educational nutrition activities that utilize active, experiential, and social learning strategies were appreciated by the students.

Impact of the Uncoupling Protein 1 on Cardiovascular Risk in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

- Adiposity is strongly associated with cardiovascular (CV) morbidity. Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) increases energy expenditure in adipocytes and may counteract adiposity. Our objective was to investigate a connection between UCP1 expression and cardiovascular health in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in a longitudinal observational study. Transcription of UCP1 was measured by qPCR in the subcutaneous adipose tissue of 125 female RA patients and analyzed with respect to clinical parameters and the estimated CV risk. Development of new CV events and diabetes mellitus was followed for five years. Transcription of UCP1 was identified in 89 (71%) patients. UCP1 positive patients had often active RA disease (p = 0.017), high serum levels of IL6 (p = 0.0025) and were frequently overweight (p = 0.015). IL-6(hi)BMI(hi) patients and patients treated with IL6 receptor inhibitor tocilizumab had significantly higher levels of UCP1 compared to other RA patients (p < 0.0001, p = 0.032, respectively). Both UCP1(hi) groups displayed unfavorable metabolic profiles with high plasma glucose levels and high triglyceride-to-HDL ratios, which indicated insulin resistance. Prospective follow-up revealed no significant difference in the incidence of new CV and metabolic events in the UCP1(hi) groups and remaining RA patients. The study shows that high transcription of UCP1 in adipose tissue is related to IL6-driven processes and reflects primarily metabolic CV risk in female RA patients.
