Abstract
Objective This study examined the potential of combining Doppler ultrasound (DUS) and CT angiography (CTA) for early detection and intervention of lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) in diabetes.Concurrently, risk factors influencing LEAD progression were analyzed. Methods 106 Type-2 diabetes patients with LEAD, having undergone DUS and CTA, were divided into four stages according to Fontaine stage. Results of DUS and CTA were compared across stages and potential risk factors were analyzed. Results Positive detection rates of LEAD differed between DUS and CTA for Fontaine stages I and II (P < 0.05), with no significant difference for stages III and IV (P > 0.05). CTA identified subgroups with mild to moderate stenosis and severe stenosis or occlusion, with positive rates on DUS of 17.95% and 89.9% respectively. Hypertension was found as an independent risk factor affecting LEAD progression. Conclusion CTA should be performed early for LEAD in diabetes patients at Fontaine stages I and II, regardless of DUS results. For diabetes patients with LEAD, stringent blood pressure control is crucial to delay disease progression.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a complex chronic metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia and various complications. According to the different pathophysiological mechanisms, these complications can be classified as microvascular or macrovascular complications, which have long-term negative effects on vital organs such as the eyes, kidneys, heart, and brain, and lead to increased patient mortality. Diabetes mellitus is a major global health issue, and its incidence and prevalence have increased significantly in recent years. Moreover, the incidence is expected to continue to rise as more people adopt a Western lifestyle and diet. Thus, it is essential to understand the epidemiology, pathogenesis, risk factors, and treatment of vascular complications to aid patients in managing the disease effectively. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the literature to clarify the above content. Furthermore, this paper also delves into the correlation between novel risk factors, such as long noncoding RNAs, gut microbiota, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, with diabetic vascular complications.

Abstract
Critical limb ischemia (CLI), a serious outcome of peripheral artery disease, is frequently associated with morbid outcomes. The available treatment modalities do not provide satisfactory results, leading to marked morbidities such as joint contracture and amputations, resulting in a high economic burden. The peripheral vascular disease tends to cause more morbidity in patients with diabetes and atherosclerosis, given the pre-existing compromised perfusion of medium and small vessels in diabetic patients. With surgical procedures, the chance of vascular compromise further increases, inducing a significantly greater rate of amputation. Hence, the need for nonsurgical treatment modalities such as stem cell therapy (SCT), which promotes angiogenesis, is warranted. In CLI, SCT acts through neovascularization and the development of collateral arteries, which increases blood supply to the soft tissues of the ischemic limb, providing satisfactory outcomes. An electronic database search was performed in PubMed, SCOPUS, EMBASE, and ScienceDirect to identify published clinical trial data, research studies, and review articles on stem cell therapy in critical limb ischemia. The search resulted in a total of 2391 results. Duplicate articles screening resulted in 565 articles. In-depth screening of abstracts and research titles excluded 520 articles, yielding 45 articles suitable for full-text review. On review of full text, articles with overlapping and similar results were filtered, ending in 25 articles. SCT promotes arteriogenesis, and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells produce significant effects like reduced morbidity, improved amputation-free survival (AFS ) rate, and improved distal perfusion even in "no-option" CLI patients. SCT is a promising treatment modality for CLI patients, even in those in whom endovascular and revascularization procedures are impossible. SCT assures a prolonged AFS rate, improved distal perfusion, improved walking distances, reduced amputation rates, and increased survival ratio, and is well-tolerated.

Abstract
AIM At present, the relationship between serum homocysteine (Hcy), fibrinogen (FIB), lipoprotein-a (LPa), and PAD is uncertain, and there has been no meta-analysis to establish the dose-response relationship between their exposure levels and PAD. METHODS AND RESULTS Relevant literature published in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science was retrieved. The robust error meta-regression method was used to assess the linear and non-linear dose-response relationship between exposure level and PAD risk. A total of 68 articles, involving 565,209 participants, were included. Combined with continuous variables, the serum Hcy, FIB, and LPa levels of PAD patients were significantly higher than those of healthy individuals. The odds ratios (ORs) of PAD for individuals with high Hcy, FIB, and LPa levels compared with those with low levels were 1.47, 1.14, and 1.76, respectively. The study also showed that circulating Hcy, FIB, and LPa were significantly elevated in patients with PAD compared with controls. The level of Hcy and the risk of PAD presented a U-shaped distribution. The nonlinear dose-response model showed that each 1 μmol/L increase in serum Hcy increased the risk of PAD by 7%. Similarly, for each 10 mg/dL FIB and 10 mg/dL LPa increases, the risk of PAD increased by 3% and 6%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis provided evidence that elevated Hcy, PIB, and LPa levels may increase the risk of PAD, and the risk of PAD increases with the increase in serum exposure within a certain range. By controlling Hcy level, the incidence of PAD may be reduced to control the PAD growing epidemic. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER PROSPERO (CRD42021250501), https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/.

Abstract
Introduction Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a significant and common risk factor for the development of peripheral vascular disease (PVD). Peripheral vascular disease is the atherosclerotic narrowing of peripheral arteries and has a high prevalence among patients with diabetes. Material and methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Medicine of Ayub Teaching Hospital, Abbottabad. A total of 271 diagnosed diabetic patients aged 40 years or above were included in the study. Ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI) was measured using a hand-held Doppler device and sphygmomanometer. An ABPI < 0.9 was taken to be abnormal. The risk factors were noted through history taking, physical examination, and appropriate investigations. Results Our study sample included 271 patients. A hundred and forty-five (53.5%) of them were males, and 126 (46.5%) were females. Fifty-three (19.9%) out of 271 patients had peripheral vascular disease. The prevalence of peripheral vascular disease was stratified among smoking (p=0.00), hypertension (p=0.00), obesity (p=0.004), and hypercholesterolemia (p=0.005) to determine if there was any association between these and peripheral vascular disease. A p-value less than 0.05 was taken to be significant. Conclusion This study showed a significant association between PVD and smoking, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and obesity.

Abstract
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) refers to partial or complete occlusion of the peripheral vessels of the upper and lower limbs. It usually occurs as part of systemic atherosclerosis in the coronary and cerebral arteries. The prevalence of PAD is expected to continue to increase in the foreseeable future owing to the rise in the occurrence of its major risk factors. Nonhealing ulcers, limb amputation and physical disability are some of its major complications. Diabetes mellitus (DM) remains a major risk for PAD, with DM patients having more than two-fold increased prevalence of PAD compared with the general population. The clinical presentation in people with DM also differs slightly from that in the general population. In addition, PAD in DM may lead to diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), which precipitate hyperglycaemic emergencies and result in increased hospital admissions, reduced quality of life, and mortality. Despite the epidemiological and clinical importance of PAD, it remains largely under diagnosed and hence undertreated, possibly because it is largely asymptomatic. Emphasis has been placed on neuropathy as a cause of DFUs, however PAD is equally important. This review examines the epidemiology, pathophysiology and diagnosis of lower limb PAD in people with diabetes and relates these to the general population. It also highlights recent innovations in the management of PAD.

Abstract
PURPOSE High glucose concentrations and swings are associated with endothelial dysfunction. We examined the effects of variability in fasting plasma glucose on peripheral artery disease (PAD) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). PATIENTS AND METHODS In this screening study for the risk factors of PAD, we retrospectively collected data on the ankle-brachial index (ABI) and the percentage of mean arterial pressure (%MAP) at the ankle between August 01, 2016 and July 31, 2017. We defined low ABI ≤0.90, high %MAP ≥45%, or both as high-risk PAD and others as low-risk PAD. We compared the standard deviation (SD) of the first fasting plasma glucose data available each year after January 01, 2007. RESULTS In 2577 patients, a higher SD of annual fasting glucose was observed in those with an ABI ≤0.90 than in patients with an ABI >0.90 (2.6 ± 2.1 vs 2.2 ± 2.3, P = 0.009), and in patients with %MAP ≥45% than in those with %MAP <45% (2.4 ± 2.1 vs 2.2 ± 2.3, P = 0.034). A high-risk PAD was significantly associated with the SD (P = 0.032) but not with the mean (P = 0.338) of annual fasting glucose. The former was an independent risk factor for high-risk PAD (odds ratio = 1.424; 95% CI = 1.118‒1.814; P = 0.004). CONCLUSION Variability but not mean of annual fasting plasma glucose was significantly associated with a high risk of PAD in patients with DM.

Abstract
Abstract Introduction: The high rate of diabetes mellitus index (DM), along with the increase in cardiovascular compromise that DM favors, and the scarcity of epidemiological data regarding the prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in this population, make it important to study risk factors associated with the development of PAD in the population with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). Objective: To estimate the prevalence of PAD together with the associated factors in a sample of patients with DM2, treated in the Family Health Strategies (FHS) program, in the municipality of Pindamonhangaba, SP. Methods: Quantitative research in a cross-sectional study of 38 individuals who were diagnosed with DM2, between 40 and 77 years old, selected by convenience sampling and treated in the family health program in two different districts of the municipality. The method consisted of the evaluation of personal and anthropometric data, anamnesis and physical examination including the ankle-brachial index (ABI). Results: PAD was present in 21.1% (95%CI: 16.9 to 25.8) of the investigated population. Risk factors observed were age range of 51 to 69 years (75%), overweight (50%), systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) (100%), smoking (62.5%) and physical inactivity (87.5%). Conclusion: The prevalence of PAD was more than a fifth of those diagnosed with DM2, and the most prevalent associated risk factors were SAH, physical inactivity, smoking and overweight with and without PAD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of the study was to establish a two-dimensional system based on organic and functional biological age (BA) using a biomarker of organic and functional impairment with aging for precisely assessing roles of natural aging and other risk factors in chronic disease. MATERIAL AND METHODS The index of organic mild impairment, which is similar to the frailty index, was determined with imaging parameters as organic BA. The functional BA was calculated with the following formula: Functional BA = [systolic - diastolic BP (mm Hg)] × waist circumference2 (m) × height0.5 (m)/weight (kg). A total of 1047 subjects undergoing routine health examination were randomly selected to establish a system with organic BA on the X-axis, functional BA on the Y-axis; organic and functional BAs from chronological age with 60 years as a center point of the coordinate system. A total of 85 patients with type 2 diabetes controls were recruited to verify the system. RESULTS Organic and functional BA contributed to chronological age almost equally. Both organic and functional BA increased with chronological age in the two-dimensional system for a random population. There were significant difference for distribution between diabetes and control groups in two-dimensional system (p < 0.05). That both more in quadrant II and lesser in quadrant IV for diabetes were suggested that diabetes was more sensitive to other risk factors than aging. CONCLUSIONS Combination of the two BAs could precisely recognized aging and other risk factors according to locations of the disease in each quadrant and quantitatively assessed status of nature aging and disease-related aging in a individual.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripheral arterial disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus is an important risk factor for vascular events. Recommendations about whether ankle-brachial index should be performed differ depending on the source; therefore, it is necessary to re-evaluate the most important risk factors associated with peripheral arterial disease and whether it is useful to perform ankle-brachial index in newly diagnosed and drug-naïve patients with diabetes, independent of age or peripheral arterial disease symptoms. METHODS A total of 711 subjects were divided into groups: group 1, 600 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, symptomatic or not for peripheral arterial disease; group 2, 61 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients newly diagnosed and drug naïve; and group 3, 50 subjects without diabetes. Ankle-brachial index, medical records and physical examination were performed in all patients, accessing cardiovascular risk factors. RESULTS Analysing group 1 asymptomatic patient to peripheral arterial disease, we found abnormal ankle-brachial index in 49% (77/156) ⩾50 years and 42% (16/38) <50 years (p = not significant). Considering drug-naïve patients, a peripheral arterial disease prevalence of 39% (24/61) was found; among these, 48% (13/27) were <50 years and 32% (11/34) were ⩾50 years (p = not significant). A forward stepwise regression model was developed, with type 2 diabetes mellitus duration (r2 = 0.12) and sedentary lifestyle (r2 = 0.14) found as independent variable predictors of severity of peripheral arterial disease, related to ankle-brachial index. CONCLUSION We suggest that, in type 2 diabetes mellitus, ankle-brachial index should be measured at diagnosis. In addition, sedentary lifestyle was strongly associated with presence and severity of peripheral arterial disease.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are considered to be critical mediators of gene expression with respect to tumor progression, although their role in ischemia-induced angiogenesis is poorly characterized, including in peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Furthermore, the underlying mechanism of action of specific miRNAs in PAD remains unknown. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed that microRNA-93 (miR-93) was significantly upregulated in patients with PAD and in the EA.hy926 endothelial cells in response to hypoxia. Additionally, miRNA (miR)-93 promoted angiogenesis by enhancing proliferation, migration and tube formation. Cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 1A (CDKN1A), verified as a potential target gene of miR-93, was inhibited by overexpressed miR-93 at the protein and mRNA expression levels. Furthermore, a hind-limb ischemia model served to evaluate the role of miR-93 in angiogenesis in vivo, and the results demonstrated that miR-93 overexpression enhanced capillary density and perfusion recovery from hind-limb ischemia. Taken together, miR-93 was indicated to be a promising target for pharmacological regulation to promote angiogenesis, and the miR-93/CDKN1A pathway may function as a novel therapeutic approach in PAD.

Association of Breast Arterial Calcification Presence and Gradation with the Ankle-Brachial Index among Postmenopausal Women. THE EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF CARDIOVASCULAR MEDICINE 2018; 5:544-551. [PMID: 30800271 PMCID: PMC6385879] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the association of breast arterial calcification (BAC) with the ankle brachial index (ABI), a sensitive metric of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), among postmenopausal women. Background: BAC is an emerging risk marker of cardiovascular disease (CVD). METHODS MINERVA (MultIethNic study of brEast aRterial calcium gradation and cardioVAscular disease) is a cohort of women aged 60 to 79 at baseline (10/24/2012 - 2/13/2015) who were free of symptomatic CVD at baseline. The analytical sample comprised 3,800 women with available ABI, BAC assessment and covariates. We performed cross-sectional logistic regression analysis. RESULTS 203 women (5.3%) had an ABI < 0.90 indicative of PAD, 26 (0.7%) had an ABI > 1.3 and 94% (n=3,571) had an ABI within normal limits. After adjustment for age, race/ethnicity, body mass index, smoking status, diabetes, hypertension, LDL-C, HDL-C, hs-CRP, estimated-GFR, urinary albumin/creatinine ratio, serum calcium, serum vitamin D and serum PTH, BAC presence remained significantly associated with ABI < 0.90 (OR=1.37; 95% CI, 1.01-1.87; p=0.04). After further adjustment for menopausal hormone therapy, parity and history of breast feeding, the association became marginally significant (OR=1.36; 95% CI, 0.99-1.85; p=0.05). No clear pattern of association was observed for increased gradation of BAC and ABI<0.9, and no significant associations were noted between BAC presence vs. absence or BAC gradation with ABI > 1.3. CONCLUSIONS Among asymptomatic postmenopausal women, presence of BAC was associated with PAD independently of traditional risk factors. Additional prospective studies are required to establish the value of BAC for prediction of incident PAD in the general population.
