Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes 2024; 17:2041-2052. [PMID: 38774573 PMCID: PMC11107940 DOI: 10.2147/dmso.s445650] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2023] [Accepted: 04/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) is increasing worldwide, and early prediction of MetS risk is highly beneficial for health outcomes. This study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram to predict MetS risk in Qinghai Province, China, and it provides a methodological reference for MetS prevention and control in Qinghai Province, China. Patients and Methods A total of 3073 participants living between 1900 and 3710 meters above sea level in Qinghai Province participated in this study between March 2014 and March 2016. We omitted 12 subjects who were missing diagnostic component data for MetS, ultimately resulting in 3061 research subjects, 70% of the subjects were assigned randomly to the training set, and the remaining subjects were assigned to the validation set. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis method was used for variable selection via running cyclic coordinate descent with 10-fold cross-validation. Multivariable logistic regression was then performed to develop a predictive model and nomogram. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves was used for model evaluation, and calibration plot and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used for model validation. Results Of 24 variables studied, 6 risk predictors were identified by LASSO regression analysis: hyperlipidaemia, hyperglycemia, abdominal obesity, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and body mass index (BMI). A prediction model including these 6 risk factors was constructed and displayed good predictability with an area under the ROC curve of 0.914 for the training set and 0.930 for the validation set. DCA revealed that if the threshold probability of MetS is less than 82%, the application of this nomogram is more beneficial than both the treat-all or treat-none strategies. Conclusion The nomogram developed in our study demonstrated strong discriminative power and clinical applicability, making it a valuable reference for meets prevention and control in the plateau areas of Qinghai Province.

Abstract
Endothelial cell activation, injury, and dysfunction underlies the pathophysiology of vascular diseases and infections associated with vascular dysfunction, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Despite viral suppression with combination antiretroviral therapy (ART), people living with HIV (PLWH) are prone to many comorbidities, including neurological and neuropsychiatric complications, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, premature aging, and malignancies. HIV and viral proteins can directly contribute to the development of these comorbidities. However, with the continued high prevalence of these comorbidities despite viral suppression, it is likely that ART or some antiretroviral (ARVs) drugs contribute to the development and persistence of comorbid diseases in PLWH. These comorbid diseases often involve vascular activation, injury, and dysfunction. The purpose of this manuscript is to review the current literature on ARVs and the vascular endothelium in PLWH, animal models, and in vitro studies. I also summarize evidence of an association or lack thereof between ARV drugs or drug classes and the protection or injury/dysfunction of the vascular endothelium and vascular diseases.

First-ever acute ischemic strokes in HIV-infected persons: A case-control study from stroke units. Ann Clin Transl Neurol 2024; 11:916-925. [PMID: 38287505 PMCID: PMC11021677 DOI: 10.1002/acn3.52008] [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: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 01/31/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The stroke risk for persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIVs) doubled compared to uninfected individuals. Stroke-unit (SU)-access, acute reperfusion therapy-use and outcome data on PLHIVs admitted for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) are scarce. METHODS AIS patients admitted (01 January 2017 to 31 January 2021) to 10 representative Paris-area SUs were screened retrospectively from the National Hospitalization Database. PLHIVs were compared to age-, initial NIHSS- and sex-matched HIV-uninfected controls (HUCs). Outcome was the 90-day modified Rankin Scale score. RESULTS Among 126 PLHIVs with confirmed first-ever AIS, ~80% were admitted outside the thrombolysis-administration window. Despite antiretrovirals, uncontrolled plasma HIV loads exceeded 50 copies/mL (26% of all PLHIVs; 38% of those ≤55 years). PLHIVs' stroke causes by decreasing frequency were large artery atherosclerosis (LAA), undetermined, other cause, cerebral small-vessel disease (CSVD) or cardioembolism. No stroke etiology was associated with HIV duration or detectable HIVemia. MRI revealed previously unknown AIS in one in three PLHIVs, twice the HUC rate (p = 0.006). Neither group had optimally controlled modifiable cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs): 20%-30% without specific hypertension, diabetes, and/or dyslipidemia treatments. Their stroke outcomes were comparable. Multivariable analyses retained good prognosis associated solely with initial NIHSS or reperfusion therapy. Older age and hypertension were associated with CSVD/LAA for all PLHIVs. Standard neurovascular care and reperfusion therapy were well-tolerated. INTERPRETATION The high uncontrolled HIV-infection rate and suboptimal CVRF treatment support heightened vigilance to counter suboptimal HIV suppression and antiretroviral adherence, and improve CVRF prevention, mainly for younger PLHIVs. Those preventive, routine measures could lower PLHIVs' AIS risk.

Int J Audiol 2024; 63:207-212.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This exploratory study examined whether central auditory tests show differences between people living with HIV (PLWH) treated with two predominant antiretroviral drug therapy (ART) regimens. DESIGN Cross-sectional. STUDY SAMPLE 253 PLWH (mean age 39.8 years) from the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Centre, China. METHODS The Hearing in Noise Test speech reception threshold (SRT) assessed central auditory function and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) assessed cognition. The relationship between ART regimen and SRT was evaluated with multivariable linear regression incorporating age, HIV duration, and peripheral hearing ability. Multivariable logistic regression was used to ascertain if SRT and ART regimen predicted MoCA impairment. RESULTS The two predominant ART regimens differed by one drug (zidovudine or tenofovir). Participants taking the zidovudine-containing regimen had poorer SRT performance (p=.012) independent of age and hearing thresholds. MoCA scores did not differ between drug regimens, but a negative relationship was found between SRT and MoCA impairment (p=.048). CONCLUSIONS ART regimens differed in their association with central auditory test performance likely reflecting neurocognitive changes in PLWH taking the zidovudine-containing regimen. Central auditory test performance also marginally predicted cognitive impairment, supporting further assessment of central auditory tests to detect neurocognitive deficits in PLWH.

Contemporary Antiretroviral Therapy Dysregulates Iron Transport and Augments Mitochondrial Dysfunction in HIV-Infected Human Microglia and Neural-Lineage Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:12242.

Abstract
HIV-associated cognitive dysfunction during combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) involves mitochondrial dysfunction, but the impact of contemporary cART on chronic metabolic changes in the brain and in latent HIV infection is unclear. We interrogated mitochondrial function in a human microglia (hμglia) cell line harboring inducible HIV provirus and in SH-SY5Y cells after exposure to individual antiretroviral drugs or cART, using the MitoStress assay. cART-induced changes in protein expression, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, mitochondrial DNA copy number, and cellular iron were also explored. Finally, we evaluated the ability of ROS scavengers or plasmid-mediated overexpression of the antioxidant iron-binding protein, Fth1, to reverse mitochondrial defects. Contemporary antiretroviral drugs, particularly bictegravir, depressed multiple facets of mitochondrial function by 20-30%, with the most pronounced effects in latently infected HIV+ hμglia and SH-SY5Y cells. Latently HIV-infected hμglia exhibited upregulated glycolysis. Increases in total and/or mitochondrial ROS, mitochondrial DNA copy number, and cellular iron accompanied mitochondrial defects in hμglia and SH-SY5Y cells. In SH-SY5Y cells, cART reduced mitochondrial iron-sulfur-cluster-containing supercomplex and subunit expression and increased Nox2 expression. Fth1 overexpression or pre-treatment with N-acetylcysteine prevented cART-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. Contemporary cART impairs mitochondrial bioenergetics in hμglia and SH-SY5Y cells, partly through cellular iron accumulation; some effects differ by HIV latency.

Abstract
Blood flow autoregulation in cerebral white matter was measured before and after acute nicardipine-induced changes in mean arterial pressure of 10-21% in 21 treatment naïve HIV-positive adults and 32 controls. The autoregulatory index (-% cerebral blood flow change/% mean arterial pressure change) was not different at baseline ( P = 0.71) or after 1 year of treatment ( n = 11, P = 0.17). We found no autoregulatory defect to explain the increased stroke risk or the development of cerebral white damage in people with HIV.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Verbal fluency decline, observed both in aging and HIV infection, has been related to lower quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the factors associated with categorical fluency in people living with HIV (PLHIV) aged ≥60 years living in West Africa. METHODS In this longitudinal study, PLHIV aged ≥60 years, on antiretroviral therapy (ART) for ≥6 months were included in three clinics (two in Côte d'Ivoire, one in Senegal) participating in the West Africa International epidemiological Databases to Evaluate AIDS (IeDEA) collaboration. Categorical fluency was evaluated with the Isaacs Set Test at 60 s at baseline and 2 years later. Factors associated with verbal fluency baseline performance and annual rates of changes were evaluated using multivariate linear regression models. RESULTS Ninety-seven PLHIV were included with 41 of them (42%) having a 2-year follow-up visit. The median age was 64 (62-67), 45.4% were female, and 89.7% had an undetectable viral load. The median annual change in categorical fluency scores was -0.9 (IQR: -2.7 to 1.8). Low baseline categorical fluency performance and its decline were associated with older age and being a female. Low educational level was associated with low baseline categorical fluency performance but not with its decline. Categorical fluency decline was also associated with marital status and hypertension. CONCLUSIONS Among older West African PLHIV, usual socio-demographic variables and hypertension were the main factors associated with low categorical fluency performance and/or its decline. Interventions that focus on supporting cardiometabolic health are highly recommended to prevent cognitive disorders in PLHIV.

Abstract
Aging and increased cardiovascular risk are major drivers for HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND), for which accurate screenings are lacking. Mini-Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination (MACE) reliably detects vascular and neurodegenerative cognitive decline among HIV-negative patients. We evaluated MACE diagnostic accuracy in detecting HAND in people living with HIV (PLWH) and we compared it with the International HIV Dementia Scale (IHDS). A single-centre double-blind study of diagnostic accuracy on adult outpatient PLWH without neurocognitive confounding was performed. MACE and IHDS were administered in 5 and 10 min by clinicians, followed by the reference standard battery (14 tests) by neuropsychologists. HAND diagnosis was based on the modified version of Frascati's criteria by Gisslén to reduce false positives. Exploratory cut-offs were evaluated for MACE. Diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility parameters were assessed. 231 patients were enrolled. 75.7% men with a median age, education, and length of infection of 54 (48-59), 10 (8-13) and 16 (5-25) years. HAND prevalence was 48.5% (38.9% asymptomatic impairment). Compared to IHDS, MACE sensitivity (89.3% vs 70.5%), specificity (94.1% vs 63.0%), correct classification rate (86.5% vs 66.7%), J index (0.83 vs 0.34), AUROC (0.97 vs 0.79), agreement with the gold standard (k 0.84 vs 0.33) and effect size in distinguishing HAND vs non-HAND (d 2.11 vs 1.15) were higher. Among PLWH aged 65 years and above (n = 37) MACE performance was consistently better than IHDS. The quick and easy-to-perform MACE could possess an accurate and useful screening performance for HAND in otherwise neurocognitively healthy cohorts of PLWH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Middle-aged persons living with HIV (PLHIVs) experience heightened risk for more concomitant age-related comorbidities, acknowledged as signs of poorer deep-brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS) prognosis, at younger-than-expected ages. To assess the beneficial and adverse effects of STN-DBS in PLHIVs with Parkinson's disease (PD-PLHIVs). METHODS We retrospectively included 9 PD-PLHIVs with sustained virological control. Patients were followed up to 7±4 years. RESULTS Mean ages at PD onset and STN-DBS were, respectively, 45±15 and 53±16 years. At STN-DBS, respective mean HIV-infection and PD durations were 15±12, and 8±4 years. STN-DBS significantly improved 1-year UPDRS-III scores (71%), daily off-time (63%), motor fluctuations (75%) and daily levodopa-equivalent dose (68%); mean 5-year UPDRS-III score and motor-fluctuation improvements remained ~45%. Impulse-control disorders (affecting 6/9) fully resolved post-STN-DBS. Post-operative course was uneventful. No serious adverse events occurred during follow-up. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that STN-DBS is a safe and effective treatment for PD-PLHIVs.
