Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a heme-containing peroxidase, mainly expressed in neutrophils and, to a lesser extent, in monocytes. MPO is known to have a broad bactericidal ability via catalyzing the reaction of Cl- with H2O2 to produce a strong oxidant, hypochlorous acid (HOCl). However, the overproduction of MPO-derived oxidants has drawn attention to its detrimental role, especially in diseases characterized by acute or chronic inflammation. Broadly speaking, MPO and its derived oxidants are involved in the pathological processes of diseases mainly through the oxidation of biomolecules, which promotes inflammation and oxidative stress. Meanwhile, some researchers found that MPO deficiency or using MPO inhibitors could attenuate inflammation and tissue injuries. Taken together, MPO might be a promising target for both prognostic and therapeutic interventions. Therefore, understanding the role of MPO in the progress of various diseases is of great value. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the diverse roles of MPO in the progression of several diseases, including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), neurodegenerative diseases, cancers, renal diseases, and lung diseases (including COVID-19). This information serves as a valuable reference for subsequent mechanistic research and drug development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of Plasma atherogenic index (AIP) and plasma osmolality (PO) values on arteriovenous fistula (AVF) patency in patients with chronic renal failure. METHODS The patients with primary AVF between December 2012 and March 2020 with the diagnosis of end-stage renal disease in our clinic were included in the study. The patient data were collected retrospectively in digital medium. Diabetic patients were not included in the study. The Triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), sodium (Na), fasting blood glucose, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) values were found and recorded from the files. AIP and PO were calculated with special formulas. Fistula patency rate in 6th, 12th, and 24th months were evaluated in 2-year follow-ups. RESULTS According to the results of two-year follow-ups of the 162 patients, who underwent primary AVF, 21 (13%) patients were found to have thrombosis in the 6th month, 33 (20.4%) patients in the 12th month; however,141 (87%) and 129 (79.6%) patients actively used AVF in the 6th and 12th months, respectively. The AIP and PO values that were calculated in the patient group with AVF thrombosis were significantly higher (p = 0.001, p < 0.001; respectively). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, Na, BUN, and HDL-C variables were found to be independent predictive factors for AVF thrombosis (OR (Odds Ratio): 1.169, 95% CI (Confidence interval)): 1.056-1.294, p = 0.003; OR: 1.108, 95% CI: 1.043-1.176, p = 0.001; OR: 0.874, 95% CI: 0.820-0.932, p < 0.001; respectively). It was also found that the patency rate was 64.2% (104 patients) in the 24th month. CONCLUSION AIP, PO, Na, and BUN values are positively associated with AVF thrombosis. Checking AIP, Na, and BUN values will be useful in patients with end-term renal failure, who already have difficulties in renal replacement methods and vascular access.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the effectiveness of an intensive nursing care electronic followup system for cardiovascular risk management after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS In total, 840 subjects who underwent PCI in a single hospital in Beijing between January 2010 and January 2012 were enrolled. All subjects were randomized into the control and intensive nursing care groups (n = 420 each group). Both groups received standard secondary prevention according to guidelines. The control group received regular followup while the intensive nursing care group was closely monitored and followed by specific nursing staff with the electronic followup system. RESULTS In total, 807 subjects were followed up for 1 year. Compared with subjects in the control group, those in the intensive group had decreased levels of total cholesterol (3.99 ± 1.08 vs 3.76 ± 0.98; P < .05), systolic blood pressure (142.41 ± 11.53 vs 135.71 ± 14.57 mm Hg; P < .05), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (2.72 ± 1.01 vs 2.42 ± 0.81; P < .05), and body mass index (25.13 ± 5.12 vs 24.23 ± 6.22; P < .05); a higher percentage with target LDL-C < 2.6 mmol/L (66.99% vs 47.88%; P < .05); increased use of medication including aspirin (96.51% vs 99.26%; P < .05), clopidogrel (87.53% vs 98.77%; P < .05), statins (52.62% vs 93.10%; P < .05), β-blockers (48.63% vs 61.33%; P < .05), and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (32.92% vs 61.82%; P < .05); and better dietary control and physical exercise (55.66% vs 26.18%, P < .05; 62.56% vs 38.65%, P < .05). CONCLUSIONS Intensive nursing care by the electronic followup system may lead to an improvement in quality of secondary prevention after PCI, including risk factor control, the use of medication, and self-management abilities.

Abstract
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) plays a key role in protecting against atherosclerosis. In cardiovascular disease, HDL can be nitrated and chlorinated by myeloperoxidase (MPO). In this study, we discovered that MPO-oxidized HDL is dysfunctional in promoting endothelial repair compared to normal HDL. Proliferation assay, wound healing, and transwell migration experiments showed that MPO-oxidized HDL was associated with a reduced stimulation of endothelial cell (EC) proliferation and migration. In addition, we found that Akt and ERK1/2 phosphorylation in ECs was significantly lower when ECs were incubated with oxidized HDL compared with normal HDL. To further determine whether oxidized HDL diminished EC migration through the PI3K/Akt and MEK/ERK pathways, we performed experiments with inhibitors of both these pathways. The transwell experiments performed in the presence of these inhibitors showed that the migration capacity was reduced and the differences observed between normal HDL and oxidized HDL were diminished. Furthermore, to study the effects of oxidized HDL on endothelial cells in vivo, we performed a carotid artery electric injury model on nude mice injected with either normal or oxidized HDL. Oxidized HDL inhibited reendothelialization compared to normal HDL in vivo. These findings implicate a key role for MPO-oxidized HDL in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is an endogenous competitive inhibitor of endothelial nitric oxide synthase. Asymmetric dimethylarginine may influence the process of restenosis after coronary angioplasty. The aim of the study was to determine if initial plasma ADMA level could predict restenosis after coronary angioplasty and stenting. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study group consisted of 60 consecutive patients (10 women and 50 men, average age 58.9 ±10.4 years old), who underwent percutaneous coronary angioplasty with bare metal stenting for stable coronary artery disease. All patients underwent follow-up coronary angiography after a 6-month period. Patients were divided into two groups, one with restenosis (n = 22), and the other one without restenosis (n = 38). In addition to measuring acknowledged restenosis risk factors, plasma ADMA level was measured before initial angiography. RESULTS Asymmetric dimethylarginine plasma level was significantly higher in the group with restenosis than in the group without restenosis (1.94 ±0.94 µmol/l vs. 0.96 ±0.67 µmol/l; p < 0.05). L-arginine/ADMA ratio was also decreased in the group with restenosis, when compared with the group without restenosis (p < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression revealed that independent restenosis risk factors were characterised by an initially high ADMA level (p < 0.01), advanced age (p < 0.05) and low level of HDL cholesterol (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Pre-procedural elevated plasma ADMA level increases the risk of restenosis in patients who underwent coronary angioplasty and stenting with bare metal stents.

Abstract
Cardiovascular risk factor modification to prevent progression of coronary heart disease is important for patients following percutaneous coronary intervention. The aims of this study were to assess patient's awareness of modifiable cardiac risk factors and examine if patients with modifiable risk factors were more likely to identify these risk as amenable to change. Awareness of risk factors was measured using the Indiana Cardiac Rehabilitation Knowledge Questionnaire in a cohort of prospective, consecutive participants post percutaneous coronary intervention. Completed questionnaires were received from 75% of the participants. The majority were able to identify high cholesterol (87%), smoking (83%) and hypertension (82%) as modifiable risk factors. Less than half (46%) of the respondents identified diabetes as a modifiable risk factor. Only a third of participants recognized all six modifiable risk factors. A large proportion of patients who were smokers, or who had high cholesterol or hypertension, identified these as risk factors. A third of people with documented diabetes did not recognize this condition as a risk factor for heart disease. The findings have important implications for nursing practice in terms of directing educational efforts for the modification of risk factors for coronary heart disease.

Abstract
Circulating levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol are inversely related to the risk of cardiovascular disease, and HDL and the HDL receptor scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) initiate signaling in endothelium through src that promotes endothelial NO synthase activity and cell migration. Such signaling requires the C-terminal PDZ-interacting domain of SR-BI. Here we show that the PDZ domain-containing protein PDZK1 is expressed in endothelium and required for HDL activation of endothelial NO synthase and cell migration; in contrast, endothelial cell responses to other stimuli, including vascular endothelial growth factor, are PDZK1-independent. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments reveal that Src interacts with SR-BI, and this process is PDZK1-independent. PDZK1 also does not regulate SR-BI abundance or plasma membrane localization in endothelium or HDL binding or cholesterol efflux. Alternatively, PDZK1 is required for HDL/SR-BI to induce Src phosphorylation. Paralleling the in vitro findings, carotid artery reendothelialization following perivascular electric injury is absent in PDZK1-/- mice, and this phenotype persists in PDZK1-/- mice with genetic reconstitution of PDZK1 expression in liver, where PDZK1 modifies SR-BI abundance. Thus, PDZK1 is uniquely required for HDL/SR-BI signaling in endothelium, and through these mechanisms, it is critically involved in the maintenance of endothelial monolayer integrity.

Abstract
There is considerable experimental evidence that high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and the principal high-affinity HDL receptor scavenger receptor B type I (SR-BI) afford cardiovascular protection. However, the fundamental mechanisms underlying the protection remain complex and not well understood. Recent work in cell culture indicates that the HDL-SR-BI tandem stimulates endothelial cell migration. Further studies have revealed that this entails Src-mediated, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-mediated, and mitogen-activated protein kinase-mediated signaling that leads to the activation of Rac guanosine triphosphate hydrolase and the resultant rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton. Furthermore, assessment of reendothelialization after perivascular electric injury in mice indicates that HDL-SR-BI-mediated stimulation of endothelial migration is operative in vivo. Recent additional work in mice also indicates that HDL activates the recruitment of endothelial progenitor cells into the intimal layer in the setting of endothelial injury. As such, signaling initiated by HDL-SR-BI promotes endothelial repair, and this novel mechanism of action may be critically involved in the impact of the lipoprotein on vascular health and disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a widely performed revascularization technique for coronary heart disease; however, there is limited research investigating the risk factor status of patients 1 year after the procedure. OBJECTIVE This cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the self-reported risk factor status by patients who had undergone a PCI at a major teaching hospital in Sydney, Australia. SUBJECTS : Two hundred seventy participants who underwent PCI between April 2003 and March 2004 and who met the inclusion criteria were followed up 1 year after the PCI. METHODS After obtaining informed consent, a follow-up self-administered questionnaire was mailed to participants. Information was collected relating to the following coronary risk factors: smoking, and physical activity status, blood pressure and cholesterol levels, body mass index, depression, anxiety, and stress levels. RESULTS Two hundred two participants (75%) returned a completed questionnaire. Approximately one third of participants had at least two modifiable risk factors. The most common cardiovascular risk factors identified were physical inactivity, increased body mass index, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Approximately half the women (46%) and a quarter of the men had at least two modifiable risk factors. Only a minority (11%) of the participants continued to smoke at 1-year follow up. Participating in physical activity for a total time of 150 minutes or more per week was reported by only 42% of the participants. Depression and anxiety were present in 25% and stress in 17% of the participants. A third of the participants (n = 64) erroneously believed that they had no heart problems. CONCLUSIONS The findings reveal inadequate management of modifiable risk factors among post-PCI participants 12 to 18 months after revascularization, which highlights a need for tailored secondary prevention interventions to address factors contributing to cardiovascular risk. The evidence obtained from this study will inform the development of an intervention to address cardiovascular risk factor modification.

Abstract
It is well recognized that high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol is antiatherogenic and serves a role in mediating cholesterol efflux from cells. However, HDL has multiple additional endothelial and antithrombotic actions that may also afford cardiovascular protection. HDL promotes the production of the atheroprotective signaling molecule nitric oxide (NO) by upregulating endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) expression, by maintaining the lipid environment in caveolae where eNOS is colocalized with partner signaling molecules, and by stimulating eNOS as a result of kinase cascade activation by the high-affinity HDL receptor scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI). HDL also protects endothelial cells from apoptosis and promotes their growth and their migration via SR-BI-initiated signaling. As importantly, there is evidence of a variety of mechanisms by which HDL is antithrombotic and thereby protective against arterial and venous thrombosis, including through the activation of prostacyclin synthesis. The antithrombotic properties may also be related to the abilities of HDL to attenuate the expression of tissue factor and selectins, to downregulate thrombin generation via the protein C pathway, and to directly and indirectly blunt platelet activation. Thus, in addition to its cholesterol-transporting properties, HDL favorably regulates endothelial cell phenotype and reduces the risk of thrombosis. With further investigation and resulting greater depth of understanding, these mechanisms may be harnessed to provide new prophylactic and therapeutic strategies to combat atherosclerosis and thrombotic disorders.

Abstract
Vascular disease risk is inversely related to circulating levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. However, the mechanisms by which HDL provides vascular protection are unclear. The disruption of endothelial monolayer integrity is an important contributing factor in multiple vascular disorders, and vascular lesion severity is tempered by enhanced endothelial repair. Here, we show that HDL stimulates endothelial cell migration in vitro in a nitric oxide-independent manner via scavenger receptor B type I (SR-BI)-mediated activation of Rac GTPase. This process does not require HDL cargo molecules, and it is dependent on the activation of Src kinases, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinases. Rapid initial stimulation of lamellipodia formation by HDL via SR-BI, Src kinases, and Rac is also demonstrable. Paralleling the in vitro findings, carotid artery reendothelialization after perivascular electric injury is blunted in apolipoprotein A-I(-/-) mice, and reconstitution of apolipoprotein A-I expression rescues normal reendothelialization. Furthermore, reendothelialization is impaired in SR-BI(-/-) mice. Thus, HDL stimulates endothelial cell migration via SR-BI-initiated signaling, and these mechanisms promote endothelial monolayer integrity in vivo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM In this study we addressed some open questions in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). First, we analysed which of the traditional risk factors was associated with the spreading of coronary stenosis and second, we aimed to identify if any variable was predictive of post-percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) clinical events. METHODS AND RESULTS We collected a consecutive series of patients with CAD (n=301) and in the subgroup of patients undergoing PTCA (n=135) we performed a prospective one-year follow-up study recording cardiovascular morbidity and total mortality. According to the extension of coronary atherosclerosis, we found a significant relationship with the prevalence of diabetes in men and with plasma HDL-cholesterol concentrations in women. The follow-up was completed in 95% of patients; we did not document any death whereas clinical events were registered in 16% of patients. At univariate analysis, we found that patients with clinical events had a higher prevalence of family history of CAD (43% vs 14%, p<0.005), diabetes (52% vs 21%, p<0.005) and multivessel disease (52% vs 35%, p<0.05). Multivariate analysis (logistic regression) confirmed that family history of CAD (OR 4.6, 95% CI 1.7-12.8, p<0.005), diabetes (OR 4.0, 95% CI 1.5-10.6, p<0.01) and multivessel disease (OR 2.8, 95% CI 1.1-7.4, p<0.05) were the only variables predictive of clinical events. CONCLUSIONS In this study, factors associated with the spreading of coronary stenosis were different according to the gender. Moreover, the presence of diabetes and multivessel disease had a negative impact on the long-term prognosis of patients undergoing PTCA. In addition, the family history of CAD represented in our study a strong predictor of clinical events. We suggest that in the management of post-PTCA patients, the role of individual baseline clinical characteristics must be taken into account and that subjects with a family history of premature CAD, diabetes and a wide extension of coronary disease represent those with the highest risk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the oxidative burden of a highly concentrated compound of n-3 PUFAs as compared to corn oil by measuring thiobarbituric acid-malondialdehyde complex (TBA-MDA) by HPLC. We also studied the influence on TBA-MDA of statins combined with n-3 PUFAs or corn oil. DESIGN A prospective, randomised, double-blind, controlled study. SETTING One hospital centre in Stavanger, Norway. SUBJECTS A total of 300 subjects with an acute myocardial infarction (MI). INTERVENTIONS Gelatine capsules, containing 850-882 mg EPA and DHA as concentrated ethylesters, or 1 g of corn oil, were ingested in a dose of two capsules twice a day for at least 1 y. Alpha-tocopherol (4 mg) was added to all capsules to protect the PUFAs against oxidation. RESULTS After 1 y TBA-MDA increased modestly in the n-3 PUFA group (n=125), as compared to the corn oil group (n=130), P=0.027. Multiple linear regression analyses of fatty acids in serum total phospholipids (n=56) on TBA-MDA measured after 12 months intervention, showed no dependency. Performing best subsets regression, serum phospholipid concentration of arachidonic acid (20:4 n-6 PUFA) was identified as a predictor of TBA-MDA at 12 months follow-up, P=0.004. We found no impact of statins on TBA-MDA. CONCLUSION TBA-MDA increased modestly after long-term intervention with n-3 PUFAs compared to corn oil post-MI, suggesting biological changes induced by n-3 PUFAs, rather than simply reflecting their concentration differences. The peroxidative potential of n-3 PUFAs was not modified by statin treatment. SPONSORSHIP : Pharmacia A/S and Pronova A/S, Norway.
