Abstract
BACKGROUND Ticagrelor is widely used in patients with stable and acute coronary artery disease. Understanding the factors that influence its pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) could improve therapeutic outcomes. We therefore performed a pooled population PK/PD analysis using individual patient data from two studies. We focused on the impact of morphine administration and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) on the risk of high platelet reactivity (HPR) and dyspnea. METHODS A parent-metabolite population PK/PD model was developed based on data from 63 STEMI, 50 non-STEMI, and 25 chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) patients. Simulations were then run to evaluate the risk of non-response and adverse events associated with the identified variability factors. RESULTS The final PK model consisted of first-order absorption with transit compartments, distribution with two compartments for ticagrelor and one compartment for AR-C124910XX (active metabolite of ticagrelor), and linear elimination for both drugs. The final PK/PD model was an indirect turnover model with production inhibition. Morphine dose and STEMI, independently, had a significant negative effect on the absorption rate (reduction of log([Formula: see text]) by 0.21×morphine dose (mg) and by 2.37 in STEMI patients, both p < 0.001), and the presence of STEMI significantly impacted both efficacy and potency (both p < 0.001). The simulations run with the validated model showed a high rate of non-response in patients with those covariates (RR 1.19 for morphine, 4.11 for STEMI and 5.73 for morphine and STEMI, all three p < 0.001). By increasing ticagrelor dosage, the negative morphine effect was reversible in patients without STEMI and just limited in patients with STEMI. CONCLUSION The developed population PK/PD model confirmed the negative impact of morphine administration and presence of STEMI on ticagrelor PK and antiplatelet effect. Increasing ticagrelor doses seems effective in morphine users without STEMI, whereas the STEMI effect is not entirely reversible.

Abstract
Alveolar epithelial cell (AEC) senescence is a key driver of a variety of chronic lung diseases. It remains a challenge how to alleviate AEC senescence and mitigate disease progression. Our study identified a critical role of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), downstream metabolites of arachidonic acid (ARA) by cytochrome p450 (CYP), in alleviating AEC senescence. In vitro, we found that 14,15-EET content was significantly decreased in senescent AECs. Exogenous EETs supplementation, overexpression of CYP2J2, or inhibition of EETs degrading enzyme soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) to increase EETs alleviated AECs' senescence. Mechanistically, 14,15-EET promoted the expression of Trim25 to ubiquitinate and degrade Keap1 and promoted Nrf2 to enter the nucleus to exert an anti-oxidant effect, thereby inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and alleviating AEC senescence. Furthermore, in D-galactose (D-gal)-induced premature aging mouse model, inhibiting the degradation of EETs by Trifluoromethoxyphenyl propionylpiperidin urea (TPPU, an inhibitor of sEH) significantly inhibited the protein expression of p16, p21, and γH2AX. Meanwhile, TPPU reduced the degree of age-related pulmonary fibrosis in mice. Our study has confirmed that EETs are novel anti-senescence substances for AECs, providing new targets for the treatment of chronic lung diseases.

COX-2/sEH Dual Inhibitor Alleviates Hepatocyte Senescence in NAFLD Mice by Restoring Autophagy through Sirt1/PI3K/AKT/mTOR. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23158267.

Abstract
We previously found that the disorder of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH)/cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)-mediated arachidonic acid (ARA) metabolism contributes to the pathogenesis of the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in mice. However, the exact mechanism has not been elucidated. Accumulating evidence points to the essential role of cellular senescence in NAFLD. Herein, we investigated whether restoring the balance of sEH/COX-2-mediated ARA metabolism attenuated NAFLD via hepatocyte senescence. A promised dual inhibitor of sEH and COX-2, PTUPB, was used in our study to restore the balance of sEH/COX-2-mediated ARA metabolism. In vivo, NAFLD was induced by a high-fat diet (HFD) using C57BL/6J mice. In vitro, mouse hepatocytes (AML12) and mouse hepatic astrocytes (JS1) were used to investigate the effects of PTUPB on palmitic acid (PA)-induced hepatocyte senescence and its mechanism. PTUPB alleviated liver injury, decreased collagen and lipid accumulation, restored glucose tolerance, and reduced hepatic triglyceride levels in HFD-induced NAFLD mice. Importantly, PTUPB significantly reduced the expression of liver senescence-related molecules p16, p53, and p21 in HFD mice. In vitro, the protein levels of γH2AX, p53, p21, COX-2, and sEH were increased in AML12 hepatocytes treated with PA, while Ki67 and PCNA were significantly decreased. PTUPB decreased the lipid content, the number of β-gal positive cells, and the expression of p53, p21, and γH2AX proteins in AML12 cells. Meanwhile, PTUPB reduced the activation of hepatic astrocytes JS1 by slowing the senescence of AML12 cells in a co-culture system. It was further observed that PTUPB enhanced the ratio of autophagy-related protein LC3II/I in AML12 cells, up-regulated the expression of Fundc1 protein, reduced p62 protein, and suppressed hepatocyte senescence. In addition, PTUPB enhanced hepatocyte autophagy by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway through Sirt1, contributing to the suppression of senescence. PTUPB inhibits the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway through Sirt1, improves autophagy, slows down the senescence of hepatocytes, and alleviates NAFLD.

Abstract
Heterogeneous flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and low-flow-mediated constriction (L-FMC) responses have been reported between upper- and lower-limb arteries. Radial artery L-FMC, but not FMD, responses are blunted when endothelial-derived hyperpolarizing factors (EDHFs) or prostaglandin production is inhibited in young adults. However, it is unknown if these mechanisms similarly impact endothelial-dependent responses in the brachial (BA) and popliteal (POP) arteries. We tested whether BA- and POP-L-FMC and FMD would be influenced by independent EDHF and prostaglandin inhibition. Eighteen participants (23 ± 3 yr; 6♀) completed three randomized and double-blinded ultrasound assessments following ingestion of an opaque capsule containing maltodextrin (control), 150 mg of fluconazole (EDHF inhibition), or 500 mg of aspirin (prostaglandin inhibition). POP resting diameter was reduced following fluconazole administration (6.13 ± 0.63 mm vs. 6.19 ± 0.65 mm in control, P = 0.03). Compared with control, fluconazole also blunted the relative L-FMC responses in both the BA (-2.1 ± 0.8% vs. -0.8 ± 1.0%, P = 0.001) and POP (-1.7 ± 1.1% vs. -0.8 ± 0.9%, P = 0.009). In contrast, aspirin did not impact either the BA (-1.9 ± 0.7%) or POP-L-FMC (-1.3 ± 0.6%) responses (both, P > 0.35). The FMD response was unchanged following fluconazole or aspirin administration in either artery (both, P > 0.36). Our findings demonstrate that EDHF mediates L-FMC responses in both the brachial and popliteal arteries. Complementary to the nitric oxide-mediated FMD response, L-FMC appears to provide information regarding the EDHF pathway. Future research should uncover if these mechanisms impact older adults and/or patient populations characterized by vascular endothelial dysfunction associated with low aerobic fitness and habitual physical activity levels.NEW & NOTEWORTHY We compared changes in upper- and lower-limb artery endothelial-dependent vasodilatory and vasoconstrictor responses between control, prostaglandin inhibition, and endothelial-derived hyperpolarizing factor inhibition conditions. Neither prostaglandins nor endothelial-derived hyperpolarizing factor influenced flow-mediated dilation responses in either the brachial or popliteal artery. In contrast, endothelial-derived hyperpolarizing factor, but not prostaglandins, reduced resting brachial artery blood flow and shear rate and resting popliteal artery diameter, as well as low-flow-mediated constriction responses in both the popliteal and brachial arteries.

Abstract
Gasotransmitters are small molecules of gases, including nitric oxide (NO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and carbon monoxide (CO). These three gasotransmitters can be endogenously produced and regulate a wide range of pathophysiological processes by interacting with specific targets upon diffusion in the biological media. By redox and epigenetic regulation of various physiological functions, NO, H2S, and CO are critical for the maintenance of intracellular energy homeostasis. Accumulated evidence has shown that these three gasotransmitters control ATP generation, mitochondrial biogenesis, glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, lipid metabolism, and thermogenesis, etc. Abnormal generation and metabolism of NO, H2S, and/or CO are involved in various abnormal metabolic diseases, including obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. In this review, we summarized the roles of NO, H2S, and CO in the regulation of energy homeostasis as well as their involvements in the metabolism of dysfunction-related diseases. Understanding the interaction among these gasotransmitters and their specific molecular targets are very important for therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Background: Binge eating disorder (BED) is very frequently observed in patients considered for weight loss surgery and seems to influence their outcome critically. Literature highlights a global emotional overload in individuals with BED, but little is known on the mechanisms involved. The present study aimed to focus on emotion regulation, impulsivity, depression, and anxiety in people with and without BED and fulfilling inclusion criteria for bariatric surgery. Doing so, we sought to individualize factors related to BED. Then, we examined the contribution of depression, anxiety, emotion regulation difficulties, and impulsivity to inappropriate eating behaviors observed in patients with BED. Methods: A sample of 121 individuals (79.3% female, mean age: 40.82 ± 9.26, mean current body mass index (BMI): 44.92 kg/m2 ± 7.55) seeking bariatric surgery were recruited at the Champagne Ardenne Specialized Center in Obesity in Reims, France from November 2017 to October 2018. They were stratified as with or without BED according to the binge eating scale. Characteristics identified in univariate analyses as differentiating the two groups were then included in multivariable analyses. Results: Multivariable analyses showed that limited access to emotional regulation strategies was significantly associated with BED. Furthermore, inappropriate eating behaviors were independently associated with age, depression severity, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and impulsivity in BED group. Conclusions: The present findings are indicative of an association between emotion deficit and BED in obese patients seeking bariatric surgery. Patients with BED could benefit from the addition of an emotion regulation intervention.

Abstract
Background: Aerobic exercise is known to reduce arterial stiffness; however, high-intensity resistance exercise is associated with increased arterial stiffness. Stretching exercises are another exercise modality, and their effect on arterial stiffness remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine whether stretching exercises reduce arterial stiffness in middle-aged and older adults, performing the first meta-analysis of currently available studies. Methods: We searched the literature for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-RCTs published up to January 2020 describing middle-aged and older adults who participated in a stretching intervention vs. controls without exercise training. The primary and secondary outcomes were changes in arterial stiffness and vascular endothelial function and hemodynamic status. Pooled mean differences (MDs) and standard MDs (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) between the intervention and control groups were calculated using a random effects model. Results: We identified 69 trials and, after an assessment of relevance, eight trials, including a combined total of 213 subjects, were analyzed. Muscle stretching exercises were shown to significantly reduce arterial stiffness and improve vascular endothelial function (SMD: −1.00, 95% CI: −1.57 to −0.44, p = 0.0004; SMD: 1.15, 95% CI: 0.26 to 2.03, p = 0.01, respectively). Resting heart rate (HR) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) decreased significantly after stretching exercise intervention (MD: −0.95 beats/min, 95% CI: −1.67 to −0.23 beats/min, p = 0.009; MD: −2.72 mm Hg, 95% CI: −4.01 to −1.43 mm Hg, p < 0.0001, respectively) Conclusions: Our analyses suggest that stretching exercises reduce arterial stiffness, HR, and DBP, and improve vascular endothelial function in middle-aged and older adults.

Abstract
The role of lipids in pain signaling is well established and built on decades of knowledge about the pain and inflammation produced by prostaglandin and leukotriene metabolites of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase metabolism, respectively. The analgesic properties of other lipid metabolites are more recently coming to light. Lipid metabolites have been observed to act directly at ion channels and G protein-coupled receptors on nociceptive neurons as well as act indirectly at cellular membranes. Cytochrome P450 metabolism of specifically long-chain fatty acids forms epoxide metabolites, the epoxy-fatty acids (EpFA). The biological role of these metabolites has been found to mediate analgesia in several types of pain pathology. EpFA act through a variety of direct and indirect mechanisms to limit pain and inflammation including nuclear receptor agonism, limiting endoplasmic reticulum stress and blocking mitochondrial dysfunction. Small molecule inhibitors of the soluble epoxide hydrolase can stabilize the EpFA in vivo, and this approach has demonstrated relief in preclinical modeled pain pathology. Moreover, the ability to block neuroinflammation extends the potential benefit of targeting soluble epoxide hydrolase to maintain EpFA for neuroprotection in neurodegenerative disease.

Abstract
Excessive erythrocytosis [EE; hemoglobin concentration (Hb) ≥ 21 g/dL in adult men] is a maladaptive high-altitude pathology associated with increased cardiovascular risk and reduced reactive hyperemia flow-mediated dilation (FMD); however, whether a similar impairment occurs in response to more commonly encountered sustained increases in shear stress [sustained stimulus (SS)-FMD] over a range of overlapping stimuli is unknown. We characterized SS-FMD in response to handgrip exercise in Andeans with and without EE in Cerro de Pasco, Peru (4,330 m). Andean highlanders with EE (n = 17, Hb = 23.2 ± 1.2 g/dL) and without EE (n = 23, Hb = 18.7 ± 1.9 g/dL) performed 3 min of rhythmic handgrip exercise at 20, 35, and 50% of maximum voluntary contraction (MVC). Duplex ultrasound was used to continuously record blood velocity and diameter in the brachial artery, and blood viscosity was measured to accurately calculate shear stress. Although baseline shear stress did not differ, Andeans with EE had 22% lower shear stress than Andeans without at 50% MVC (P = 0.004). At 35 and 50% MVC, SS-FMD was 2.1 ± 2.0 and 2.8 ± 2.7% in Andeans with EE compared with 4.1 ± 3.4 and 7.5 ± 4.5% in those without (P = 0.048 and P < 0.001). The stimulus-response slope (∆shear stress vs. ∆diameter) was lower in Andeans with EE compared with Andeans without (P = 0.028). This slope was inversely related to Hb in Andeans with EE (r2 = 0.396, P = 0.007). A reduced SS-FMD in response to small muscle mass exercise in Andeans with EE indicates a generalized reduction in endothelial sensitivity to shear stress, which may contribute to increased cardiovascular risk in this population.NEW & NOTEWORTHY High-altitude excessive erythrocytosis (EE; hemoglobin concentration ≥ 21 g/dL) is a maladaptation to chronic hypoxia exposure and is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. We examined flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in response to sustained elevations in shear stress achieved using progressive handgrip exercise [sustained stimulus (SS)-FMD] in Andean highlanders with and without EE at 4,330 m. Andeans with EE demonstrated lower SS-FMD compared with those without. Heightened hemoglobin concentration was related to lower SS-FMD in Andeans with EE.

Abstract
Current knowledge indicates that the physiological aging process starts with subclinical changes at the molecular and cellular level, which affect nearly all physiological systems. For example, the age-associated remodeling of the immune system (i.e., immunosenescence) and vascular aging per se can contribute to frailty and vulnerability among older adults. They are also described as being implicated in the pathophysiology of some major chronic comorbid conditions such as age-associated diseases of the central (e.g., stroke, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and related disorders) and peripheral (e.g., polyneuropathy) nervous systems. These neurologic disorders are also among the greatest contributors to geriatric syndromes, which refer to highly prevalent and chronic conditions among aged people of multifactorial origin, such as delirium, falls, incontinence, and frailty. Neurologic disorders can also occur in patients with one or more geriatric syndromes and thus further interfere with the quality of life, physical function, morbidity, and mortality. This chapter presents and discusses in three sections the complex interrelationships between the main determinants of aging with a specific focus on vascular aging, chronic neurologic disorders, and the specific clinical presentation of geriatric syndromes in older people.
