Abstract
AIM Vascular endothelial function and atherosclerosis are known to be important risk factors for cardiovascular disease. However, it remains unknown whether remnant cholesterol (RC) correlates with vascular endothelial function and atherosclerosis as represented by flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV). Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate this in the general population. METHODS In this study, we examined 13,237 subjects who have undergone blood lipid, FMD, and baPWV measurements. Participants were divided into four groups based on RC quartiles. Multivariable linear regression models were used to calculate odds ratios for FMD and baPWV according to the RC levels. RESULTS A significant negative relationship was found between RC and FMD (β=-0.14, p=0.014), whereas RC was positively associated with baPWV (β=21.42, p<0.001), especially in the male and without chronic disease medication populations. The population was divided into three groups according to their lipids: dyslipidemia group, nondyslipidemia but RC increased group (RC >0.78 mmol/L), and nondyslipidemia and RC normal group (RC ≤ 0.78 mmol/L). The FMD of the three groups was 7.09%±3.36%, 7.39%±3.38%, and 7.57%±3.54%, respectively. The baPWV of the three groups was 1445.26±261.56 cm/s, 1425.04±265.24 cm/s, and 1382.73±267.75 cm/s. Significant differences were noted between the groups. CONCLUSIONS The findings indicated that a higher RC was an independent predictive factor for participants with endothelial function and atherosclerosis. It is important to use RC as a risk management indicator of vascular function, especially for those with normal conventional lipid parameters but increased RC.

Abstract
The extraordinary situation of the 2019–2022 pandemic caused
a dramatic jump in the incidence of post-traumatic stress disorder
(PTSD). PTSD is currently regarded not only as a neuropsychiatric
disorder, but also as a comorbidity accompanied by cardiovascular
diseases, circulatory disorders, liver dysfunction, etc. The relationship
between behavioral disorders and the degree of morphofunctional
changes in the liver remains obscure. In this study, PTSD was modeled in
sexually mature male Wistar rats using predatory stress induced
by a prey’s fear for a predator. Testing in an elevated plus maze
allowed the rat population to be divided into animals with low-anxiety
(LAP) and high-anxiety (HAP) phenotypes. It was found that morphofunctional
analysis of the liver, in contrast to its biochemical profiling,
provides a clearer evidence that predatory stress induces liver
dysfunction in rats of both phenotypes. This may indicate a decrease
in the range of compensatory adaptive reactions in stressed animals.
However, in HAP rats, the level of morphofunctional abnormalities
in the mechanisms responsible for carbohydrate-fat, water-electrolyte
and protein metabolism in the liver testified the prenosological
state of the organ, while further functional loading and resulting
tension of the regulatory systems could lead to homeostatic downregulation.
Meanwhile, the liver of LAP animals was only characterized by insignificant diffuse
changes. Thus, we demonstrate here a link between behavioral changes
and the degree of morphofunctional transformation of the liver.

Lipids Health Dis 2021; 20:80. [PMID: 34325713 PMCID: PMC8320094 DOI: 10.1186/s12944-021-01509-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2021] [Accepted: 07/19/2021] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Discordance of lipid parameters is closely associated with residual cardiovascular risk. This study investigated the discordance between non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) or apolipoprotein B (apoB) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and assessed arterial stiffness risk. Methods This study included a total of 402 middle-aged and elderly Northern Chinese individuals whose brachial-ankle pulse wave conduction velocity (baPWV), and clinical and biochemical data were measured. Arterial stiffness was defined by inclusion in the upper quartile of the baPWV. All participants were divided into four mutually exclusive concordance/discordance groups based on the lipid goal for high-risk populations, according to the 2019 European Society of Cardiology / European Atherosclerosis Society guidelines. Discordance was defined as LDL-C ≥ 1.81 mmol/L with non-HDL-C < 2.59 mmol/L, or apoB < 0.80 mmol/L, or vice versa. Results The mean age of the participants was 65.9 ± 13.0 years; 59.5% of the participants were male. The mean LDL-C was 2.41 ± 0.81 mmol/L, non-HDL-C: 3.06 ± 0.94 mmol/L, and apoB: 0.84 ± 0.21 mmol/L. LDL-C was observed to be discordant with non-HDL-C (20.1%) and apoB (30.8%). When stratified according to LDL-C levels, the baPWV was greater in those patients with higher non-HDL-C or apoB levels. In the adjusted logistic regression model, low LDL-C and high non-HDL-C or apoB discordance were also associated with the risk of arterial stiffness (OR: 13.412 and OR: 13.054, respectively). Conclusions There was discordance between LDL-C and non-HDL-C, or apoB in middle-aged and elderly Chinese individuals; this was associated with a higher risk of arterial stiffness. Non-HDL-C or apoB levels could be used to identify individuals who may benefit from more comprehensive lipid modification.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus associate with arterial stiffness. This observational study aimed to investigate such links in two related generations from a population-based study. METHODS Data from 2640 participants in the ongoing Malmö Offspring Study, Sweden, was used. The participants were direct descendants, that is, parents (median age 52.5 years) and children (26.9 years). In linear regressions, arterial stiffness measured through carotid--femoral pulse wave velocity was associated with markers of glucose metabolism (fasting glucose, glycated hemoglobin, skin autoflourescence of Advanced Glycation End products), adjusted for age, sex, smoking, BMI, lipids, SBP and antihypertensive medication. Analysis was first performed in all participants and then separately in each generation. T-tests with diabetes mellitus as the grouping variable were performed for all participants and per generation. RESULTS In all participants, pulse wave velocity was significantly associated with glucose (β = 0.007, P = 0.018) and hemoglobin (β = 0.017, P < 0.001), but not with autoflourescence. Stratified by generation, arterial stiffness was associated with glucose (β = 0.013, P = 0.008) and glycated hemoglobin (β = 0.022, P < 0.001) only in parents. Mean pulse speed differed between participants with and without diabetes in the total group (mean difference 1.7 m/s, P < 0.001), as well as within each generation (parents: 1.3 m/s; P < 0.001, and children: 0.7 m/s; P = 0.040). CONCLUSION Impaired glucose metabolism and arterial stiffness were significantly associated only in the parental generation, indicating the influence of hyperglycemia on vascular aging. However, carotid--femoral pulse wave velocity differed significantly between participants with or without diabetes mellitus in both generations, suggesting that diabetes might negatively affect arterial stiffness also at a younger age.

Abstract
Background Determining the risk factors for brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) may help to identify people susceptible to diabetic atherosclerosis and could prevent diabetic macrovascular complications in the early stages. We aim to comprehensively investigate risk factors contributing to arterial stiffness in patients with and without diabetes. Methods BaPWV was measured in 5651 individuals who attended health check-ups at baseline and follow-up. Lasso regression was used to screen for risk factors. Mixed models and multiple linear regressions were subsequently established to evaluate the effect size of the potential risk factors on baPWV and PWV change rates. All analyses were stratified by diabetes. Mediation analysis was also conducted to demonstrate the mechanisms of arterial stiffness in patients with diabetes. Results In lasso regression, postprandial 2-h glucose (P2hG), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and age were associated with baPWV regardless of diabetes. Platelet counts (PLT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and coronary heart disease (CHD) were associated with baPWV in patients with diabetes. In the mixed models, PLT were positively associated with baPWV in patients with diabetes (βplatelet, perSD = 25.80; 18.26–33.33). Elevated PLTs could also significantly increase the PWV change rate in patients with diabetes (βplatelet, perSD = 54.05; 10.00–107.10). In mediation analysis, diabetes had a significant average direct effect on baPWV. The average causal mediation effect (ACME) of PLTs was 1.76, with a range of 0.17 to 3.70. Conclusions Elevated PLT counts can increase baPWV in diabetes and are a potential mediator between diabetes and atherosclerosis.
