Maturitas 2024; 185:108000. [PMID: 38669896 DOI: 10.1016/j.maturitas.2024.108000] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2023] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study examined the associations between pulse pressure, hypertension, and the decline in physical function in a prospective framework. STUDY DESIGN The Healthy Aging Longitudinal Study tracked a group of Taiwanese adults aged 55 or more over an average of 6.19 years to assess pulse pressure and decline in physical function, including in handgrip strength, gait speed, and 6-min walking distance, at baseline (2009-2013) and in the second phase of assessments (2013-2020). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Pulse pressure was calculated as the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure values. Weakness, slowness, and low endurance were defined as decreases of ≥0.23 m/s (one standard deviation) in gait speed, ≥5.08 kg in handgrip strength, and ≥ 57.73 m in a 6-min walk, as determined from baseline to the second phase of assessment. Linear and logistic regressions were employed to evaluate the associations between pulse pressure, hypertension, and decline in physical function. RESULTS Baseline pulse pressure was associated with future handgrip strength (beta = -0.017, p = 0.0362), gait speed (beta = -0.001, p < 0.0001), and 6-min walking distance (beta = -0.470, p < 0001). In multivariable models, only handgrip strength (beta = -0.016, p = 0.0135) and walking speed (beta = -0.001, p = 0.0042) remained significantly associated with future pulse pressure. Older adults with high systolic blood pressure (≥140 mmHg) and elevated pulse pressure (≥60 mmHg) exhibited a significantly increased risk of weakness (odds ratio: 1.30, 95 % confidence interval: 1.08-1.58), slowness (1.29, 1.04-1.59), and diminished endurance (1.25, 1.04-1.50) compared with the reference group, who exhibited systolic blood pressure of <140 mmHg and pulse pressure of <60 mmHg. CONCLUSIONS Among older adults, pulse pressure is associated with a decline in physical function, especially in terms of strength and locomotion.

Relation between severity of cerebral small vessel disease and pulsatility index of internal carotid artery in small vessel occlusion. Clin Neurol Neurosurg 2024; 237:108127. [PMID: 38290169 DOI: 10.1016/j.clineuro.2024.108127] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 02/01/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The total small vessel disease (SVD) score, calculated using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is used to assess the risk of cerebral infarction. Stroke patients with total SVD scores of three or higher are reported to have a significantly increased risk of recurrent stroke. Similar to the total SVD score, carotid ultrasonography findings have been reported to be indicators of atherosclerosis. Although the total SVD score effectively reflects SVD progression, its correlation with carotid ultrasonography findings remains unknown. We aimed to investigate whether there is a relationship between these two factors. METHODS Patients with small-vessel occlusion within 24 h of onset were retrospectively selected. Atherosclerotic factors were evaluated using the left-right average Gosling pulsatility index (PI) in the internal carotid artery (ICA-PI) and cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI). Differences in clinical backgrounds, including atherosclerotic factors, were evaluated by dividing patients into two groups: those with a total SVD score of two or less (low-score group) and those with scores of three or more (high-score group). RESULTS A total of 122 patients were included in this study. ICA-PI was significantly higher in the high-score group than in the low-score group. A high score was independently correlated with ICA-PI after adjusting for age, CAVI, smoking, and history of secondary atherosclerosis. CONCLUSIONS Increased ICA-PI was associated with a high total SVD score in acute small-vessel occlusion and may be an alternative method for predicting the total SVD score, enabling the administration of interventions to prevent stroke relapse without the need for MRI.

Association of intracranial atherosclerosis with cerebral small vessel disease in a community-based population. Eur J Neurol 2023; 30:2700-2712. [PMID: 37294661 DOI: 10.1111/ene.15908] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2023] [Revised: 06/01/2023] [Accepted: 06/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between intracranial atherosclerosis and cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). METHODS Community-dwelling residents of Lishui, China in the PRECISE (Polyvascular Evaluation for Cognitive Impairment and Vascular Events) study were involved. Intracranial atherosclerosis was grouped by the severity of intracranial artery plaques with stenosis and burden. Four imaging markers including lacunes, white matter hyperintensity (WMH), cerebral microbleeds (CMBs), and perivascular spaces (PVS) as well as the CSVD burden scores were assessed. Logistic regression or ordinal logistic regression models with odds ratio (OR) or common OR (cOR) were used to estimate the relationship between intracranial atherosclerosis and CSVD markers and burdens. RESULTS The mean age was 61.20 ± 6.68 years, and 1424 (46.52%) were men among 3061 participants included at baseline. Intracranial atherosclerotic burden was associated with the severity of the lacunes (OR = 4.18, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.83-9.58), modified WMH burden (cOR = 1.94, 95% CI = 1.01-3.71), presence of CMBs (OR = 2.28, 95% CI = 1.05-4.94), and CMB burden (OR = 2.23, 95% CI = 1.03-4.80). However, it was not associated with the WMH burden and PVS. Intracranial atherosclerotic burden was associated with CSVD burden (Wardlaw: cOR = 2.73, 95% CI = 1.48-5.05; Rothwell: cOR = 2.70, 95% CI = 1.47-4.95). The association between intracranial atherosclerosis and CSVD was obvious in participants with both anterior and posterior circulation artery stenosis. CONCLUSIONS Based on a Chinese community population, there may be an association between intracranial atherosclerosis and CSVD, but its mechanism in relation to vascular risk factors still needs to be clarified.

Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio as a Predictor of Cerebral Small Vessel Disease in a Geriatric Community: The I-Lan Longitudinal Aging Study. Brain Sci 2023; 13:1087. [PMID: 37509017 PMCID: PMC10377025 DOI: 10.3390/brainsci13071087] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2023] [Revised: 07/09/2023] [Accepted: 07/12/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Cerebral Small Vessel Disease (CSVD) frequently affects the elderly, with inflammation playing a crucial role in related health complications, including dementia, stroke, and SVD. Studies, including animal experiments, indicate a strong link between inflammation and SVD progression. The Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) serves as a possible biomarker for ongoing inflammatory risks. A total of 720 adults aged 50 years or older from the community-based I-Lan Longitudinal Aging Study were included in this study. General linear regression and ordinally logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate the association between NLR and CSVD. We further examined the presence of lacune, microbleed, and white matter hyperintensity (WMH) on brain MRI, which were used to construct a combined CSVD score. The NLR was positively associated with WMH (adjusted r = 0.109, p = 0.003), microbleed (adjusted r = 0.102, p = 0.006), and lacune (adjusted r = 0.100, p = 0.008). After adjustments for smoking, drinking, and physical activity in the ordinal logistic regression analysis, age, gender, brachial Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), fasting glucose, LDL-cholesterol, and Hs-CRP were compared among subjects with low tertile (T1), medium tertile (T2) and high tertile (T3) NLR. The results showed that T2 vs. T1 had an odds ratio of 1.23 (0.86-1.77); and T3 vs. T1 had an odds ratio of 1.87 (1.29-2.71) of CSVD scores in four groups (zero (reference group), one, two, and three or more). NLR could be used to assess the state of inflammation in cerebral vessels. A significant and positive correlation between NLR and CSVD was verified in this study. However, the practical clinical application of NLR in CSVD patients and prognosis prediction should be validated through more scientific attempts.

[PMID: 36726156 PMCID: PMC9890861 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-023-03908-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2022] [Accepted: 01/21/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a systemic disease, affecting not only the brain, but also eyes and other organs. The total CSVD score is a tool for comprehensive evaluation of brain lesions in patients with CSVD. The ophthalmic artery (OA) is a direct response to ocular blood flow. However, little is known about the correlation between CSVD and characteristics of OA. We investigated the OA morphologies and hemodynamics in patients with CSVD and the correlation between these changes and the total CSVD score. METHODS This cross-sectional observational study included 34 eyes from 22 patients with CSVD and 10 eyes from 5 healthy controls. The total CSVD score was rated according to the CSVD signs on magnetic resonance imaging. OA morphological characteristics were measured on the basis of 3D OA model reconstruction. OA hemodynamic information was calculated using computational fluid dynamics simulations. RESULTS The total CSVD score negatively correlated with the OA diameter, blood flow velocity, and mass flow ratio (all P < 0.05). After adjusting for potential confounding factors, the total CSVD score was still independently correlated with the OA blood velocity (β = - 0.202, P = 0.005). The total CSVD score was not correlated with OA angle (P > 0.05). The presence of cerebral microbleeds and enlarged perivascular spaces was correlated with the OA diameter (both P < 0.01), while the lacunar infarcts and white matter hyperintensities were correlated with the OA blood velocity (both P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The decrease of the blood velocity in the OA was associated with the increase in the total CSVD score. The changes of the OA diameter and velocity were associated with the presence of various CSVD signs. The findings suggest that more studies are needed in the future to evaluate CSVD by observing the morphologies and hemodynamics of OA.

Association of Carotid Plaque and Flow Velocity With White Matter Integrity in a Middle-aged to Elderly Population. Neurology 2022; 99:e2699-e2707. [PMID: 36123124 DOI: 10.1212/wnl.0000000000201297] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2022] [Accepted: 08/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES It is uncertain whether there is an association of carotid plaques (CPs) and flow velocities with peak width mean diffusivity (PSMD) and white matter hyperintensities (WMH) independent of shared risk factors. We aimed to study this association controlling for biomarkers of inflammation and cardiac dysfunction and typical cardiovascular risk factors and spatial distribution. METHODS We included participants from the population-based Hamburg City Health Study, recruiting citizens between 45 and 74 years of age. Medical history was obtained from structured interviews and extended laboratory tests, physical examinations, MRI of the head, echocardiography, and abdominal and carotid ultrasound were performed. We performed multivariable regression analysis with PSMD and periventricular, deep, and total volume of WMH (pWMH, dWMH, tWMH) as dependent variables. PSMD was calculated as the difference between the 95th and 5th percentiles of MD values on the white skeleton in standard space. Volumes of WMH were determined by the application of a manually trained k-nearest neighbor segmentation algorithm. WMH measured within a distance of 1 cm from the surface of the lateral ventricles were defined as pWMH and above 1 cm as dWMH. RESULTS Two thousand six hundred twenty-three participants were included. The median age was 65 years, and 56% were women. Their median tWMH was 946 mm3(IQR:419, 2,164), PSMD 2.24 mm2/s × 10-4 (IQR: 2.04, 2.47), peak systolic velocity (PSV) of internal carotid arteries 0.70m/second (IQR:0.60, 0.81), and 35% had CPs. Adjusted for age, sex, high-sensitive CRP, NT-proBNP, and commonly measured cardiovascular risk and systemic hemodynamic factors, both CPs (B = 0.15; CI: 0.04, 0.26; p = 0.006) and low PSV (B = -0.49; CI: -0.87, -0.11; p = 0.012) were significantly associated with a higher tWMH and PSMD. Low PSV (B = -0.48; CI: -0.87, -0.1; p = 0.013) was associated with pWMH and the presence of CP with pWMH (B = 0.15; CI: 0.04, 0.26; p = 0.008) and dWMH (B = 0.42; CI: 0.11, 0.74; p < 0.009). DISCUSSION Low PSV and CP are associated with WMH and PSMD independent of cardiovascular risk factors and biomarkers of inflammation and cardiac dysfunction. This points toward pathophysiologic pathways underlying both large and small vessel disease beyond the common cardiovascular risk profile. TRIAL REGISTRATION INFORMATION The trial was submitted at clinicaltrials.gov, under NCT03934957 on January 4, 2019. The first participant was enrolled in February 2016.

Abstract
Fasting has been widely studied in both prevention and treatment of many neurologic disorders. Some conditions may be prevented with any type of fasting, while some may require a stricter regimen. Fasting reduces weight, fasting blood glucose, and insulin resistance, and favorably alters the gut biome and the immune system. This article discusses various versions of fasting that have been studied as well as the known and theoretical mechanisms of how fasting effects the body and the brain. This article will then review evidence supporting the potential preventive and treatment effects of fasting in specific neurologic disorders including ameliorating the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, improving cognition in Alzheimer's disease, reducing migraine frequency and intensity, and reducing seizure frequency in epilepsy.
