Abstract
Accumulating evidence considers psoriasis a systemic inflammatory disorder that is associated with comorbidities such as psoriatic arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome. Although the precise pathogenetic links between psoriasis and atherosclerosis warrants further investigation, it is believed that chronic systemic inflammation along with the T helper (Th)-1 and Th17 polarization are associated with endothelial dysfunction and subsequent acceleration of atherosclerosis. Considering the above, several studies have evaluated if optimal control of the inflammation in psoriasis by inhibiting interleukins targeting the Interleukin (IL)-23/Th17 axis could subsequently reduce the atherosclerotic process during anti-psoriatic treatment by using a variety of surrogate markers of subclinical atherosclerosis. This systematic review summarizes current knowledge on the pathogenetic mechanisms and diagnostic evaluation of atherosclerosis in the context of psoriasis and provides a systematic review of the literature on the impact of treatment with biologics targeting the IL-23/Th17 axis on subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with plaque psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis.

The pathogenesis of superior mesenteric artery dissection: An in-depth study based on fluid-structure interaction and histology analysis. COMPUTER METHODS AND PROGRAMS IN BIOMEDICINE 2022; 226:107187. [PMID: 36279640 DOI: 10.1016/j.cmpb.2022.107187] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2022] [Revised: 10/15/2022] [Accepted: 10/15/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the role of hemodynamic factors in the occurrence of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) dissection (SMAD) using a fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulation method, and to identify histopathologic changes occurring in the wall of the SMA. METHODS A total of 122 consecutive patients diagnosed with SMAD and 122 controls were included in this study. Hemodynamic factors were calculated using a FSI simulation method. Additionally, SMA specimens obtained from 12 cadavers were stained for histological quantitative analysis. RESULTS The mean aortomesenteric angle (59.7° ± 21.4° vs 48.2° ± 16.8°; p < .001) and SMA maximum curvature (0.084 ± 0.078 mm-1 vs 0.032 ± 0.023 mm-1; p < .001) were higher in SMAD patients than the controls. Larger aortomesenteric angles and SMA curvatures were associated with higher and more concentrated wall shear stress at anterior wall of the SMA curve segment, co-located with the dissection origins. The mean thickness of media (325.18 ± 44.87 µm vs 556.92 ± 138.32 µm; p = .003) was thinner in the anterior wall of the SMA curve than in the posterior wall. The area fractions of elastin (17.96% ± 3.36% vs 27.06% ± 4.18%; p = .002) and collagen (45.43% ± 6.89% vs 55.57% ± 7.57%; p = .036) were lower in anterior wall of the SMA curve than in posterior wall. CONCLUSION Increased aortomesenteric angle and SMA curvature are risk factors for SMAD. Both of these factors can cause local hemodynamic abnormalities, which can lead to histopathologic changes in anterior wall of SMA.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In this review, we focus on the clinical and epidemiological studies pertaining to systemic and vascular inflammation by positron emission tomography (PET) in patients with chronic inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and psoriasis to highlight the importance of chronic systemic inflammation on vascular inflammation by PET in these disease states. RECENT FINDINGS Recent clinical and translation advancements have demonstrated the durable relationship between chronic systemic inflammation and cardiovascular disease (CVD). In chronic inflammatory states, this relationship is robustly evident in the form of increased vascular inflammation, yet traditional risk estimates often underestimate the subclinical cardiovascular risk conferred by chronic inflammation. PET has emerged as a novel, non-invasive imaging modality capable of both quantifying the degree of systemic and vascular inflammation and detecting residual inflammation prior to cardiovascular events. We begin by demonstrating the role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, discussing how PET has been utilized to measure systemic and vascular inflammation and their effect on subclinical atherosclerosis, and finally reviewing recent applications of PET in constructing improved risk stratification for patients at high risk for stroke and CVD.

Abstract
Over the past several decades, molecular imaging techniques to assess cellular processes in vivo have been integral in advancing our understanding of disease pathogenesis. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in particular has shaped the field of atherosclerosis research by highlighting the importance of underlying inflammatory processes that are responsible for driving disease progression. The ability to assess physiology using molecular imaging, combining it with anatomic delineation using cardiac coronary angiography (CCTA) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and lab-based techniques, provides a powerful combination to advance both research and ultimately clinical care. In this review, we demonstrate how molecular imaging studies, specifically using 18-FDG PET, have revealed that early vascular disease is a systemic process with multiple, concurrent biological mechanisms using inflammatory diseases as a basis to understand early atherosclerotic mechanisms in humans.

Abstract
Psoriasis mainly affects the skin and joints and has serious impacts on the physical, emotional, and financial life of patients. Recent studies have demonstrated that other comorbidities are frequently detected in psoriatic patients. A strong association with the development of cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension, myocardial infarction, and stroke is responsible for the shortened (by 4.5‐5 years) life expectancy of severe psoriatic patients. Systemic inflammation plays an important role in the interrelationship between psoriasis and atherosclerotic plaque formation, which is a common immunopathogenic pathway that explains the multiorgan involvement in psoriasis. As far life‐threatening cardiovascular diseases are very often symptom‐free, the treating dermatologist's responsibility is to initiate interdisciplinary holistic patient care, which may lead to directly saved patients' lives. Holistic care of severe psoriatic patients should include regular cardiac monitoring using cardiovascular imaging modalities and functional testing to detect even subclinical coronary artery disease. Effective anti‐inflammatory treatment with biologic therapies may have beneficial effects on the cardiovascular state and may reduce the incidence of cardiac events. The authors review the latest findings on the shared immunopathogenic background of psoriasis and cardiovascular diseases and discuss the available data about the cardiovascular responses to the currently used biologic treatments.

A Preliminary 18F-FDG-PET/MRI Study Shows Increased Vascular Inflammation in Moderate-to-Severe Atopic Dermatitis. THE JOURNAL OF ALLERGY AND CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY-IN PRACTICE 2020; 8:3500-3506. [PMID: 32721606 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaip.2020.07.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2020] [Revised: 06/20/2020] [Accepted: 07/14/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent data suggest that patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) have increased systemic immune activation and cardiovascular risk. However, unlike psoriasis, evaluation of active vascular inflammation using state-of-the-art imaging is lacking in AD. OBJECTIVE To assess aortic and carotid vascular inflammation using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (18F-FDG-PET/MRI) imaging in moderate-to-severe AD versus healthy individuals. METHODS A total of 27 patients with moderate-to-severe AD and 12 healthy controls were imaged using 18F-FDG-PET/MRI. Target-to-background ratio (TBR) values were calculated in multiple segments of the aorta and carotid vessels. RESULTS Patients with AD had elevated aortic max TBR (fold change [FCH] = 1.45, P = .057) versus healthy controls and significantly elevated mean TBR (FCH = 1.20; P < .05) in the right carotid (RC) arteries versus controls. When examining greatest focal inflammation (most diseased segment [MDS] TBR), patients with AD had higher aortic inflammation (FCH = 1.28; P = .052). AD clinical severity significantly correlated with C-reactive protein (ρ = 0.60, P < .01) and with RC mean TBR levels (ρ = 0.60, P = .04). Stratifying patients into moderate-to-severe and very severe AD showed greater RC mean TBR in patients with very severe AD versus controls (FCH = 1.31; P = .02) and versus patients with moderate/severe AD (FCH = 1.23, P = .05). Aortic inflammation was also significantly greater in patients with very severe AD versus controls (max TBR: FCH = 1.6, P = .04; MDS TBR: FCH = 1.73, P = .03). CONCLUSIONS This preliminary study is the first that establishes greater vascular (aorta and carotid) inflammation in moderate-to-severe AD versus healthy controls. Furthermore, very severe AD showed higher inflammation than both moderate/severe patients and healthy controls. Future studies with larger patient cohorts and evaluation before and after treatment are needed to determine the extent to which vascular inflammation in AD is modifiable.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Traditional risk models, such as the Framingham risk score, fail to capture the increased cardiovascular disease risk seen in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases. This review will cover imaging modalities and their emerging applications in assessing subclinical cardiovascular disease for both research and clinical care in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases. RECENT FINDINGS Multiple imaging modalities have been studied to assess for subclinical cardiovascular disease via functional/physiologic, inflammatory, and anatomic assessment in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases. The use of imaging to evaluate subclinical cardiovascular disease in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases has the potential to capture early sub-clinical atherosclerosis, to improve risk stratification of future cardiovascular events, and to guide effective disease management.
