Anatomical Distribution Patterns of Peripheral Arterial Disease According to Patient Characteristics: A Unicentral Cohort Study. Vasc Health Risk Manag 2023; 19:447-457. [PMID: 37485230 PMCID: PMC10361088 DOI: 10.2147/vhrm.s416967] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2023] [Accepted: 06/20/2023] [Indexed: 07/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common disease with multiple risk factors and affects patients worldwide. Several international studies have established correlations between anatomical topography/distribution of atherosclerosis and comorbidities in patients with PAD. In this cohort study, we aimed to analyze the patterns of atherosclerosis (site, distribution, and degree) in patients who underwent lower limb computed tomography angiography and arterial angiography by identifying the atherosclerotic plaque(s) that were possibly responsible for thrombi. Additionally, we aimed to determine any relationship between comorbidities and identified patterns. Patients and Methods Between January 2015 and January 2021, we retrospectively recruited 140 patients at King Fahd Hospital of the University of Saudi Arabia. Data collected included patient characteristics, risk factors, and metabolic disorders, such as hypertension (HTN), diabetes mellitus (DM), dyslipidemia, and chronic kidney disease. Patients with incomplete records or unavailable radiological images were excluded. Results The infrapopliteal territory was the most common segment that was affected. HTN, DM, and dyslipidemia were found in 81.4%, 77.9%, and 62.9% of patients, respectively. Correlation analyses revealed that DM was the only independent metabolic disorder associated with a PAD distribution pattern in the femoropopliteal segment (p=0.039), thus denoting distal involvement. No significant association was found between PAD distribution and the severity of stenosis. Conclusion Segmental involvement in PAD varies with the risk factors and metabolic comorbidities present in patients. DM is an independent predictor of the anatomical distribution of PAD. The identification of such an anatomical distribution is paramount for screening procedures, early detection of disease, and prevention of complications, particularly limb amputation.

Abstract
Shellfish are diverse, widely distributed organisms that are a rich source of biological resources. Polysaccharides are an important components in shellfish, hence a great deal of attention has been directed at isolation and characterization of shellfish polysaccharides because of their numerous health benefits. Differences in shellfish species, habits, and environment result in the diversity of the structure and composition of polysaccharides. Thus, shellfish polysaccharides possess special biological activities. Studies have shown that shellfish polysaccharides exert biological activities, including antioxidant, antitumor, immune-regulation, hypolipidemic, antihypertensive, and antihyperglycemic effects, and are widely used in cosmetics, health products, and medicine. This review spotlights the extraction and purification methods of shellfish polysaccharides and analyses their structures, biological activities and conformational relationships; discusses the regulatory mechanism of shellfish polysaccharides on hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and hyperglycemia caused by lipid metabolism disorders; and summarizes its alleviation of lipid metabolism-related diseases. This review provides a reference for the in-depth development and utilization of shellfish polysaccharides as a functional food to regulate lipid metabolism-related diseases. To achieve high value utilization of marine shellfish resources while actively promoting the development of marine biological industry and health industry.

Association of Lower Extremity Vascular Disease, Coronary Artery, and Carotid Artery Atherosclerosis in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2021; 2021:6268856. [PMID: 34697555 PMCID: PMC8541854 DOI: 10.1155/2021/6268856] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2021] [Revised: 09/29/2021] [Accepted: 09/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
The motive of this article is to present the case study of patients to investigate the association between the ultrasonographic findings of lower extremity vascular disease (LEAD) and plaque formation. Secondly, to examine the association between the formation of coronary artery and carotid artery atherosclerosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. 124 patients with type 2 diabetes (64 males and 60 females with the age group 25-78 years) are considered for the research studies who have registered themselves in the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism from April 2017 to February 2019. All participants have reported their clinical information regarding diabetes, alcohol consumption, smoking status, and medication. The blood samples from subjects are collected for measurement of HbA1c, total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-c, and LDL-c levels. Two-dimensional ultrasound has been used to measure the inner diameter, peak flow velocity, blood flow, and spectral width of the femoral artery, pop artery, anterior iliac artery, posterior tibial artery, and dorsal artery and to calculate the artery stenosis degree. Independent factors of atherosclerosis are determined by multivariate logistic regression analysis. The results are evaluated within the control group and it is found that there is no significant impact of gender, age, and body mass index (P > 0.05) on the lower extremity vascular diseases. Those with smoking, alcohol consumption, hypertension, and dyslipidemia have higher positive rate (P < 0.05). The type 2 diabetes mellitus group has higher diastolic blood pressure and lower triglyceride (P < 0.05). Diastolic blood pressure, HbA1C, total cholesterol, HDL-c, and LDL-C are not remarkably dissimilar between the type 2 diabetes mellitus group and the control group (P > 0.05). Compared with the control group, the type 2 diabetes mellitus group has higher frequency of lower extremity vascular diseases in the dorsal artery than in the pop artery (P < 0.05). The blood flow of type 2 diabetes mellitus group is found to be lower than that of the control group, especially in the dorsal artery (P < 0.05). The blood flow velocity of the dorsal artery is accelerated (P < 0.01). Among 117 patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus (94.35%) with a certain degree of injury, there are 72 cases of type I carotid stenosis (58.06%), 30 cases of type II carotid stenosis (24.19%), and 15 cases of type III carotid stenosis (12.10%). Out of 108 subjects in the control group, there are 84 cases of type 0 carotid stenosis (77.78%), 19 cases of type I carotid stenosis (17.59%), 5 cases of type II carotid stenosis (4.63%), and 0 case of type III carotid stenosis (0.00%). Compared with the control group, carotid stenosis is more common in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (P < 0.05). Age, smoking, duration of diseases, systolic blood pressure, and degree of carotid stenosis are found to be associated with atherosclerosis. The findings suggest that the color Doppler ultrasonography can give early warning when applied in patients with carotid and lower extremity vascular diseases to delay the incidence of diabetic macroangiopathy and to control the development of cerebral infarction, thus providing an important basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

The association of subclinical atherosclerosis with prediabetes is stronger in people with dyslipidaemia than in those with normoglycaemia: A cross-sectional study in Chinese adults. Prim Care Diabetes 2020; 14:760-767. [PMID: 32739221 DOI: 10.1016/j.pcd.2020.07.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2020] [Revised: 06/08/2020] [Accepted: 07/16/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Prediabetes is associated with a high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and often occurs with dyslipidaemia. The present study investigated the association between subclinical atherosclerosis profiles and prediabetes with and without dyslipidaemia. METHODS This cross-sectional analysis included 4786 participants (1441 subjects with prediabetes and 3345 healthy controls). Prediabetes was defined by fasting plasma glucose (FPG) 5.6-6.9mmol/L or HbA1c 5.7-6.4% without antidiabetic drugs. Different markers of subclinical atherosclerosis were analysed: the carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), carotid plaques (CP), and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV). RESULTS Subclinical atherosclerosis was significantly more prevalent in prediabetic subjects than in normoglycaemic subjects (P<0.001). Only individuals with prediabetes in the dyslipidaemic group had significantly elevated adjusted odds ratios for subclinical atherosclerosis profiles. When stratified by FPG-only, HbA1c-only or both, the three subcategories in combination with dyslipidaemia shared a similarly increased risk of subclinical atherosclerosis compared to normoglycaemia without dyslipidaemia (P<0.05). The risk profile increased directionally from FPG-only to HbA1c-only to both overall. CONCLUSION Our data suggest that subclinical atherosclerotic changes in the prediabetic state are mainly seen in dyslipidaemic subjects. Thus, strategies to prevent atherogenic changes might focus on persons with prediabetes combined with dyslipidaemia, especially for the prediabetes-both subcategory, because of potential effects on CVD risk.

Abstract
Inflammatory cells in atherosclerotic plaque exclusively originate from hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs). In this study, we investigated whether circulating HSPCs frequency related to coronary stenosis in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Coronary angiography was performed in 468 participants who were recruited at Cardiology Centre in LuHe Hospital from March 2016 to May 2017. Among these subjects, 344 underwent echocardiography. Mononuclear cells isolated from peripheral blood were stained with an antibody cocktail containing anti-human CD34, anti-human lineage, anti-human CD38, and anti-human CD45RA. Lineage-CD38-CD45RAdimCD34+HSPCs were quantified by flow cytometry. CHD was defined as coronary stenosis ≥50% and the extent of CHD was further categorised by coronary stenosis ≥70%. A p < 0.0031 was regarded statistically significant by the Bonferroni correction. Circulating HSPCs frequency was 1.8-fold higher in CHD patients than non-CHD participants (p = 0.047). Multivariate-adjusted logistic analysis demonstrated that HSPCs was the only marker that was associated with the odds ratio of having mild vs. severe coronary stenosis (2.08 (95% CI, 1.35-3.21), p = 0.0009). Left ventricular ejection fraction was inversely correlated with HSPCs frequency and CRP in CHD patients (p < 0.05 for both). In conclusion, HSPCs frequency in circulation is intimately related to coronary stenoses in CHD patients.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with more extensive coronary atherosclerosis and more vulnerable plaque phenotypes. However, DM should not be considered a homogeneous and purely binary entity in terms of risk assessment. We evaluated the impact of prediabetic status on coronary atherosclerosis burden in patients with first-time acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who underwent urgent coronary angiography. The patients were divided into DM, prediabetes, and control groups. The 3-vessel disease (TVD) rates and SYNTAX and Gensini scoring systems for defining atherosclerotic burden were compared. The study was conducted in 469 consecutive patients admitted with a diagnosis of ACS. Of these, 250 patients were admitted at the first occurrence of ACS undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography. SYNTAX and Gensini scores and TVD rates were higher in prediabetic patients than in nondiabetic patients ( P = .004, P = .008, and P = .014, respectively), but similar in prediabetic and diabetic patients ( P = .912, P = .773, and P = 1.000, respectively). Coronary atherosclerosis burden is more advanced in prediabetic patients than in nondiabetic patients and is comparable between prediabetic and diabetic patients at first presentation of ACS. Cardiologists should not miss the opportunity to diagnose prediabetes and DM when patients present with an ACS.

Abstract
Background The matrine‐type alkaloids are bioactive components extracted from Sophora flavescens, which is used in treatment of diabetes mellitus in traditional Chinese medicine. Advanced glycation end products mediate diabetic vascular complications. This study was aimed to investigate the protective effects and molecular mechanisms of matrine‐type alkaloids on advanced glycation end products–induced reactive oxygen species–mediated endothelial apoptosis. Methods and Results Rats aorta and cultured rat aortic endothelial cells were exposed to advanced glycation end products. Matrine‐type alkaloids, p38 mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitor, and small interference RNAs against p38 MAPK kinases MAPK kinase kinase (MKK)3 and MKK6 were administrated. Intracellular reactive oxygen species production, cell apoptosis, phosphorylation of MKKs/p38 MAPK, and expression levels of heme oxygenase/NADPH quinone oxidoreductase were assessed. The nuclear factor erythroid 2‐related factor 2 nuclear translocation and the binding activity of nuclear factor erythroid 2‐related factor 2 with antioxidant response element were also evaluated. Matrine‐type alkaloids suppressed intracellular reactive oxygen species production and inhibited endothelial cell apoptosis in vivo and in vitro by recovering phosphorylation of MKK3/6 and p38 MAPK, nuclear factor erythroid 2‐related factor 2 nuclear translocation, and antioxidant response element binding activity, as well as the expression levels of heme oxygenase/NADPH quinone oxidoreductase. p38 MAPK inhibitor treatment impaired the effects of matrine‐type alkaloids in vivo and in vitro. MKK3/6 silencing impaired the effects of matrine‐type alkaloids in vitro. Conclusions Matrine‐type alkaloids exert endothelial protective effects against advanced glycation end products induced reactive oxygen species–mediated apoptosis by targeting MKK3/6 and enhancing their phosphorylation.
