Abstract
BACKGROUND Precision medicine has the potential to improve cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction in individuals with Type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of longitudinal studies to identify potentially novel prognostic factors that may improve CVD risk prediction in T2D. Out of 9380 studies identified, 416 studies met inclusion criteria. Outcomes were reported for 321 biomarker studies, 48 genetic marker studies, and 47 risk score/model studies. RESULTS Out of all evaluated biomarkers, only 13 showed improvement in prediction performance. Results of pooled meta-analyses, non-pooled analyses, and assessments of improvement in prediction performance and risk of bias, yielded the highest predictive utility for N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) (high-evidence), troponin-T (TnT) (moderate-evidence), triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index (moderate-evidence), Genetic Risk Score for Coronary Heart Disease (GRS-CHD) (moderate-evidence); moderate predictive utility for coronary computed tomography angiography (low-evidence), single-photon emission computed tomography (low-evidence), pulse wave velocity (moderate-evidence); and low predictive utility for C-reactive protein (moderate-evidence), coronary artery calcium score (low-evidence), galectin-3 (low-evidence), troponin-I (low-evidence), carotid plaque (low-evidence), and growth differentiation factor-15 (low-evidence). Risk scores showed modest discrimination, with lower performance in populations different from the original development cohort. CONCLUSIONS Despite high interest in this topic, very few studies conducted rigorous analyses to demonstrate incremental predictive utility beyond established CVD risk factors for T2D. The most promising markers identified were NT-proBNP, TnT, TyG and GRS-CHD, with the highest strength of evidence for NT-proBNP. Further research is needed to determine their clinical utility in risk stratification and management of CVD in T2D.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) is an important cause of ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack. We aimed to synthesize relevant evidence on the associations of hematological and biochemical markers with ICAS in stroke-free populations. METHODS AND RESULTS We searched MEDLINE and EMBASE for articles reporting associations of hematological and biochemical markers with ICAS presence in stroke-free populations. Weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for each biomarker were pooled using fixed- or random-effects models. Among 32 studies included in the systematic review, 23 studies (48,326 subjects) with 22 biomarkers were meta-analyzed. Compared with subjects without ICAS, those with ICAS had significantly higher white blood cell (4118 subjects, WMD 0.28 per 109/L, 95% CI 0.01-0.56), neutrophil (4326 subjects, WMD 0.24 per 109/L, 0.10-0.38), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (4326 subjects, WMD 0.16, 0.07-0.26), low-density lipoprotein (28,606 subjects, WMD 0.12 mmol/L, 0.05-0.19), non-high-density lipoprotein (3671 subjects, WMD 0.17 mmol/L, 0.08-0.25), C-reactive protein (CRP; 5355 subjects, WMD 0.06 mg/dL, 0.04-0.07), high-sensitivity CRP (9383 subjects, WMD 0.07 mg/dL, 0.01-0.13), uric acid (5966 subjects, WMD 17.91 μmol/L, 11.16-24.66), creatinine (5731 subjects, WMD 4.03 μmol/L, 0.77-7.29), and homocysteine (7053 subjects, WMD 2.25 μmol/L, 1.02-3.48), but lower lymphocyte (4326 subjects, WMD -0.12 per 109/L, -0.19--0.04). Sensitivity analyses showed similar results. CONCLUSIONS Several hematological and biochemical markers easily accessible were associated with ICAS presence in stroke-free populations. This can facilitate early identification of subjects at a high risk of ICAS, who may benefit from ICAS screening and prevention. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42021247990.

European Stroke Organisation guidelines on treatment of patients with intracranial atherosclerotic disease. Eur Stroke J 2022; 7:III-IV. [PMID: 36082254 PMCID: PMC9446330 DOI: 10.1177/23969873221099715] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2022] [Accepted: 04/22/2022] [Indexed: 07/22/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of the present European Stroke Organisation guideline is to provide clinically useful evidence-based recommendations on the management of patients with intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD). The guidelines were prepared following the Standard Operational Procedure of the European Stroke Organisation guidelines and according to GRADE methodology. ICAD represents a major cause of ischemic stroke worldwide, and patients affected by this condition are exposed to a high risk for future strokes and other major cardiovascular events, despite best medical therapy available. We identified 11 relevant clinical problems affecting ICAD patients and formulated the corresponding Population Intervention Comparator Outcomes (PICO) questions. The first two questions refer to the asymptomatic stage of the disease, which is being increasingly detected thanks to the routine use of noninvasive vascular imaging. We were not able to provide evidence-based recommendations regarding the optimal detection strategy and management of asymptomatic ICAD, and further research in the field is encouraged as subclinical ICAD may represent a big opportunity to improve primary stroke prevention. The second block of PICOs (3-5) is dedicated to the management of acute large vessel occlusion (LVO) ischemic stroke caused by ICAD, a clinical presentation of this disease that is becoming increasingly relevant and problematic, since it is associated with more refractory endovascular reperfusion procedures. An operational definition of probable ICAD-related LVO is proposed in the guideline. Despite the challenging context, no dedicated randomized clinical trials (RCTs) were identified, and therefore the guideline can only provide with suggestions derived from observational studies and our expert consensus, such as the escalated use of glycoprotein IIb-IIIa inhibitors and angioplasty/stenting in cases of refractory thrombectomies due to underlying ICAD. The last block of PICOs is devoted to the secondary prevention of patients with symptomatic ICAD. Moderate-level evidence was found to recommend against the use of oral anticoagulation as preferred antithrombotic drug, in favor of antiplatelets. Low-level evidence based our recommendation in favor of double antiplatelet as the antithrombotic treatment of choice in symptomatic ICAD patients, which we suggest to maintain during 90 days as per our expert consensus. Endovascular therapy with intracranial angioplasty and or stenting is not recommended as a treatment of first choice in high-grade symptomatic ICAD (moderate-level evidence). Regarding neurosurgical interventions, the available evidence does not support their use as front line therapies in patients with high-grade ICAD. There is not enough evidence as to provide any specific recommendation regarding the use of remote ischemic conditioning in ICAD patients, and further RCTs are needed to shed light on the utility of this promising therapy. Finally, we dedicate the last PICO to the importance of aggressive vascular risk factor management in ICAD, although the evidence derived from RCTs specifically addressing this question is still scarce.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We present an update of the Spanish Society of Neurology's recommendations for prevention of both primary and secondary stroke in patients with dyslipidaemia. DEVELOPMENT We performed a systematic review to evaluate the main aspects of the management of dyslipidaemias in primary and secondary stroke prevention and establish a series of recommendations. CONCLUSIONS In primary prevention, the patient's vascular risk should be determined in order to define target values for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. In secondary prevention after an atherothrombotic stroke, a target value <55mg/dL is recommended; in non-atherothombotic ischaemic strokes, given the unclear relationship with dyslipidaemia, target value should be established according to the vascular risk group of each patient. In both primary and secondary prevention, statins are the drugs of first choice, and ezetimibe and/or PCSK9 inhibitors may be added in patients not achieving the target value.

Abstract
With the increasing incidence of type 2 diabetes, it is imperative to identify how to effectively prevent or treat this disease. Studies have shown that some lactic acid bacteria can improve type 2 diabetes with almost no side effects. Therefore, in this experimental study, we explored the preventive and therapeutic effects of Lactobacillus fermentum TKSN041 (L. fermentum TKSN041) on streptozotocin-induced type 2 diabetes in rats. The results showed that L. fermentum TKSN041 could reduce the amount of water intake, reduce weight loss, and control the increase in the fasting blood glucose level of diabetic rats. The organ index and tissue section results showed that L. fermentum TKSN041 could reduce the damage caused by diabetes to the liver, kidney, spleen, pancreatic, and brain tissue. Furthermore, L. fermentum TKSN041 decreased the levels of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), glycated serum proteins (GSP), malondialdehyde (MDA), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and endothelin 1 (ET-1) in serum and increased the serum levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) and interleukin 10 (IL-10). Finally, L. fermentum TKSN041 up-regulated the mRNA and protein expressions of NF-kappa-B inhibitor-α (IκB-α), AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), liver kinase B1 (LKB1), and glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) and down-regulated those of nuclear factor-κBp65 (NFκB-p65) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). Furthermore, LF-TKSN041 up-regulated the mRNA expressions of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ) and down-regulated neuropeptide Y (NPY), sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1 (SREBF-1), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). These results suggest that L. fermentum TKSN041 may be a useful intervention factor for the prevention or treatment of type 2 diabetes induced by STZ. Clinical trials are needed to further demonstrate its effectiveness.

Abstract
Background: Diabetes is an important risk factor of extra and intracranial stenosis and hence can cause cerebrovascular stroke. In Egypt, prevalence of asymptomatic extra and intracranial blood vessels stenosis in diabetic patients is still unknown. Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of asymptomatic extra and intracranial vessels stenosis. Methods: 100 Patients with Type-2 Diabetes (T2D) were recruited consecutively from diabetes clinic of the department of internal medicine at Assiut University Hospitals in the period from 1st January 2016 to 31st January 2017. A detailed history was obtained for all participant. As well, thorough-out physical and neurologic examination were carried out for patients. All patients underwent extra cranial and transcranial colour coded ultrasound by two independent investigators. Patients with history of cerebrovascular stroke and transient ischemic attacks were excluded. Results: 36% of patients had increased IMT, 6% had stenosis 50-69% and 2% had stenosis ≥ 70%. There was a positive correlation between age and increased IMT (r = 0.272) (P = 0.006) and between uncontrolled DM and increased IMT (r = 0.211) (P = 0.035). 26% of patients had stenosis of < 50% in vertebral artery (21% in V0 segment, 5% in V1 segment); being male and uncontrolled diabetes escalate the stenosis risk. MCA pulsatility index was found to be higher among old diabetics in comparison to younger diabetics and control group (r = -0.225) (P = -0.025). Also, the longer the time since T2D onset, the higher was MCA PSV (r = 0.244) (P = 0.014). Conclusions: The cerebral blood vessels atherosclerotic changes (mainly extracranial) are higher among diabetics in comparison to healthy controls.

The Barcelona-Asymptomatic Intracranial Atherosclerosis study: Subclinical intracranial atherosclerosis as predictor of long-term vascular events. Atherosclerosis 2019; 282:132-136. [PMID: 30731285 DOI: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2019.01.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2018] [Revised: 01/08/2019] [Accepted: 01/15/2019] [Indexed: 10/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Symptomatic intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS) is associated with a high risk of stroke recurrence and occurrence of other vascular events. However, ICAS has been poorly studied from its asymptomatic stage. The objective of our study was to determine if subclinical intracranial atherosclerosis is associated with long-term incident vascular events in Caucasians. METHODS The Barcelona-Asymptomatic Intracranial Atherosclerosis (AsIA) Study is a population-based study that enrolled 933 subjects with a moderate-high vascular risk and without history of stroke or coronary disease, and determined the prevalence of asymptomatic ICAS and associated risk factors. At baseline visit, carotid atherosclerosis and ICAS were screened by color-coded duplex ultrasound, and moderate-severe stenosis was confirmed by magnetic resonance angiography. At baseline, 8.9% of subjects had asymptomatic ICAS, of whom 3.3% were moderate-severe. In the longitudinal phase, subjects were prospectively followed-up to assess the incidence of a combined primary endpoint of vascular events (stroke, acute coronary syndrome and/or vascular death). RESULTS After 7.17 years of follow-up, there were 51 incident cerebrovascular events (16 transient ischemic attacks, 27 ischemic, 8 hemorrhagic strokes), 63 incident coronary events and 23 vascular deaths. After multivariate Cox regression analyses adjusted by age, sex, vascular risk and presence of carotid plaques, ICAS was an independent predictor for overall vascular events (HR 1.83 [1.10-3.03], p = 0.020), and moderate-severe intracranial stenosis was also an independent predictor for cerebrovascular events (HR 2.66 [1.02-6.94], p = 0.046). CONCLUSIONS Asymptomatic ICAS is independently associated with the incidence of future vascular events in our population. These findings might have implications for the development of primary prevention strategies.
