Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS To investigate the relationship between metabolic syndrome severity z score(MetS-Z) and arterial stiffness(AS). METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 7621 participants who took three physical examination and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity(ba-pwv) test from 2006 were enrolled. Cumulative MetS-Z(cMetS-Z) was calculated by using blood pressure, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, blood glucose and BMI. AS was assessed by ba-pwv. Cox regression model was used to evaluate the risk of AS. All participants were divided into four groups according to cMetS-Z(Q1-Q4). The average age of the participants was 43.06 ± 8.91 years old. During a median follow-up of 6.27 years, 1831cases of AS were identified. The incident rate of AS increased gradually from group Q1 to Q4. Compared with the lowest cMetS-Z(group Q1), the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of group Q2-Q4 for AS were 1.27 (1.09-1.47),1.28(1.10-1.48) and 1.45 (1.24-1.69) respectively. The cubic spline model indicated cMetS-Z had a liner relationship with AS and the cut-off value was lower than zero. Sub-group analysis suggested cMetS-Z was related to AS especially among participants who were younger and without obesity or hypertension or diabetes. CONCLUSION Higher cMetS-Z was associated with an increased risk of AS in this cohort community study, and this relationship seemed to be stronger among normal healthy subjects. REGISTRATION NUMBER ChiCTR-TNC-11001489. CLINICAL TRIAL January 1st 2006, ChiCTR-TNC-11001489 and 2011.

Is Obesity a Risk Factor for Carotid Atherosclerotic Disease?—Opportunistic Review. J Cardiovasc Dev Dis 2022; 9:jcdd9050162. [PMID: 35621873 PMCID: PMC9144226 DOI: 10.3390/jcdd9050162] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2022] [Revised: 05/02/2022] [Accepted: 05/08/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Obesity is a risk factor for coronary atherosclerosis. However, the influence of adipose tissue in carotid atherosclerosis is not completely understood. No systematic review/meta-analysis was previously performed to understand if obesity is a risk factor for carotid atherosclerosis. This paper aims to provide an opportunistic review of the association between obesity and carotid atherosclerosis and define the role of the different adipose tissue depots in the characteristics of carotid stenosis. The databases PubMed and Cochrane Library were searched on 15–27 April and 19 May 2021. A total of 1750 articles published between 1985 and 2019 were identified, 64 were preselected, and 38 papers (35,339 subjects) were included in the final review. The most frequent methods used to determine obesity were anthropometric measures. Carotid plaque was mostly characterized by ultrasound. Overall obesity and visceral fat were not associated with the presence of carotid plaque when evaluated separately. Waist-hip ratio, however, was a significant anthropometric measure associated with the prevalence of carotid plaques. As it reflected the ratio of visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue, the balance between these depots could impact the prevalence of carotid plaques.

Abstract
The senescence of vascular endothelial cells (ECs) plays a critical role in aging-related cardiovascular diseases. We previously reported the causal relation of Jagged1 in ECs and the thickening of the arterial wall in aging mice. The aim of the present study was to further investigate the correlation between insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 1 (IGFBP1), one of the secretory proteins regulated by Jagged1, and the severity of coronary atherosclerosis and patient age, as well as its effect on EC senescence. First, microarray analysis was performed to screen the differentially expressed genes regulated by Jagged1 in human coronary arterial ECs (HCAECs). Inhibition of the Jagged1 expression using a small interfering RNA knockdown method in HCAECs led to the upregulation of 17 and the downregulation of 78 genes by >3-fold, and IGFBP1 was confirmed to be a secretory protein expressed by HCAECs and regulated by Jagged1. Subsequently, in 112 consecutively enrolled patients with acute chest pain who underwent coronary angiography, the circulating level of IGFBP1 was found to be positively correlated with age (r=0.512, P<0.001) and Synergy between PCI with TAXUS and Cardiac Surgery (SYNTAX) score (r=0.409, P<0.001). Among age-comparable patients, the circulating IGFBP1 level was found to be increased in patients with higher SYNTAX scores. In cultured HCAECs, IGFBP1 was shown to protect ECs against passage- or H2O2-induced senescence, and these protective effects of IGFBP1 may be partially reversed by LY294002, a known Akt signaling inhibitor. Therefore, the results of the present study suggested that, as a downstream protein of Jagged1, IGFBP1 was correlated with the severity of coronary atherosclerosis in aging patients, and the increase of circulating IGFBP1 levels with aging may be an adaptive response to counter HCAEC senescence through Akt signaling.

Clin Med Insights Pathol 2018; 11:1179555718791575. [PMID: 30083067 PMCID: PMC6066805 DOI: 10.1177/1179555718791575] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2018] [Accepted: 07/07/2018] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: The objectives of this study were the evaluation of pathological
characteristics of patients with obesity or metabolic syndrome (MS) as basic
cause of death, associating the autopsy findings with some clinical aspects
and the abdominal adipose panicle thickness. Methods: A total of 88 autopsy cases were studied, divided into 2 groups based on the
main cause of death: group 1 (n = 15) obesity and group 2 (n = 73) MS.
Clinical summaries of autopsy requests, macroscopic findings, and histologic
sections were reviewed. Results: The definition of obesity as the basic cause of death is associated with
larger thickness of the abdominal adipose panicle, being 8.5 cm
(P = .001) the best measurement, according to the
receiver operating characteristic curve. Hypertensive cardiopathy
(P = .001), ischemic cardiopathy
(P = .003), coronary (P = .008)/systemic
(P = .005) atherosclerosis, and arterial
(P = .014)/arteriolar (P = .027)
nephrosclerosis are associated with the diagnosis of MS. Steatohepatitis is
associated with the diagnosis of obesity (P = .030);
however, its association with the thickness of the abdominal adipose panicle
is not statistically significant (P = .211). Conclusions: In the context of an obese patient in autopsy, pathologist may use the
information about abdominal adipose panicle associated with heart, kidney,
and liver findings, even macroscopic ones, to decide the basic cause death
between obesity and MS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The goal of this study is to investigate obesity and its concomitant effects including the prevalence of comorbidities, its association with patient-reported outcomes and costs, and weight loss strategies in a sample of Mexican adults. METHODS Mexican adults (N=2,511) were recruited from a combination of Internet panels and street intercepts using a random-stratified sampling framework, with strata defined by age and sex, so that they represent the population. Participants responded to a survey consisting of a range of topics including sociodemographics, health history, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), work productivity, health care resource use, and weight loss. RESULTS The sample consisted of 50.6% male with a mean age of 40.7 years (SD=14.5); 38.3% were overweight, and 24.4% were obese. Increasing body mass index (BMI) was associated with increased rates of type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, and hypertension, poorer HRQoL, and decreased work productivity. Of the total number of respondents, 62.2% reported taking steps to lose weight with 27.6% and 17.1% having used an over-the-counter/herbal product and a prescription medication, respectively. Treatment discontinuation rates were high. CONCLUSION Findings indicated that 62% of participants reported, at least, being overweight and that they were experiencing the deleterious effects associated with higher BMI despite the desire to lose weight. Given the rates of obesity, and its impact on humanistic and societal outcomes, improved education, prevention, and management could provide significant benefits.

Abstract
AIM To examine the association between renal vasculature changes and generalized atherosclerosis using autopsy cases. METHODS We histologically examined 107 autopsy patients(mean age, 68.4 years; 64% men; 81% non-CVD) to investigate the association between renal vasculature changes and generalized atherosclerosis. We measured the intima/media(I/M) ratio for the renal, intrarenal and systemic arteries(coronary, cerebral, common carotid and common iliac), calculated the rates of arteriolar hyalinization and global glomerulosclerosis and evaluated the frequency of advanced lesions(AHA classification ≥IV) in the systemic arteries. RESULTS The I/M ratios of the renal and intrarenal arteries and the rate of global glomerulosclerosis increased with age, while the rates of arteriolar hyalinization and global glomerulosclerosis were associated with diabetes and hypertension(all p<0.05). The I/M ratio of the coronary artery was independently associated with the rate of global glomerulosclerosis(p<0.05). The frequency of advanced atherosclerotic lesions in the coronary and cerebral arteries was also correlated with the I/M ratio of the renal artery and rates of arteriolar hyalinization and global glomerulosclerosis(all p<0.05). The frequency of advanced lesions in the cerebral and common carotid arteries was independently associated with the I/M ratio of the renal artery and the rate of renal arteriolar hyalinization(odds ratio(OR) with [95% confidence interval]; 5.09 [1.15-27.9] and 4.11 [1.38-13.9], respectively). CONCLUSIONS The results of this study demonstrated that pathological changes in four portions of the renal vasculature differ. Renal vasculature changes except the intrarenal arteries were significantly associated with those observed in the cerebral, common carotid and coronary arteries.
