[PMID: 38237871 DOI: 10.1016/j.jad.2024.01.128] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 01/12/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Association between depression and aneurysm has been implicated but the specific role of depression in aneurysm remains unclear. We aimed to comprehensively characterize the relation of major depressive disorder (MDD) with aneurysm by subtype. METHODS Harnessing summary statistics from genome-wide association studies (Ncase/Ncontrol = 7603/317,899 for aortic aneurysm; 7321/317,899 for thoracic aortic aneurysm; 3201/317,899 for abdominal aortic aneurysm; 1788/317,899 for cerebral aneurysm; and 246,363/561,190 for major depressive disorder), we estimated the genetic correlation between MDD and each of four aneurysm subtypes via LD Score Regression and tested the causality via various estimators under the bi-directional Mendelian randomization (MR) framework. RESULTS Positive genetic correlation of statistical significance, ranging between 0.15 (with thoracic aortic aneurysm, P = 0.005) and 0.25 (with abdominal aortic aneurysm, P = 0.001), was consistently observed for MDD with each aneurysm subtype. In the MR analysis of MDD as an exposure, genetic liability to MDD causally increased the risk of cerebral (odds ratio: 1.71; 95 % confidence interval: 1.26-2.34) but not aortic aneurysm. Replication analysis of an independent dataset (Ncase/Ncontrol = 6242/59,418) corroborated this signal. In contrast, causal effect was not evident for any neurysm subtype on susceptibility to MDD. LIMITATIONS Aneurysm could have been underdiagnosed if asymptomatic, leading to an underestimated causal impact on MDD. Non-linearity of the causal effect was not tested due to the lack of individual-level data. CONCLUSIONS Depression and aneurysm may share common pathomechanisms. Screening depressed population and improving the clinical management for depression may benefit the primary prevention of cerebral aneurysm.

Impact of Housing Insecurity on Outcomes in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair Among Veterans. Ann Vasc Surg 2023; 89:36-42. [PMID: 36749106 DOI: 10.1016/j.avsg.2022.09.048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2022] [Revised: 09/15/2022] [Accepted: 09/18/2022] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Veterans are disproportionately affected by housing insecurity (HI), which can lead to adverse health outcomes and reduced life expectancy. We sought to examine the impact of HI on the outcomes of veterans who underwent abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair at our regional Veterans Affairs medical center. METHODS Retrospective chart review was performed on patients who underwent AAA repair at our institution between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2020. We examined medical history, procedure details, hospitalization course, and postoperative outcomes. Primary endpoints were a 30-day mortality and median survival. Secondary endpoints were hospital length of stay, readmission rate, and perioperative complications. Hypothesis testing was performed with t-test and chi-squared analysis. Survival analysis was conducted using Kaplan-Meier estimation. RESULTS Of the 314 veterans that underwent AAA repair (mean age of 71.4 ± 7.8 years, 99.7% male) over the 21-year period, we identified 39 (12.4%) patients with a history of HI. The HI was associated with a positive smoking history (100% vs. 88.0%, P = 0.022), lower rate of hypertension diagnosis (69.2% vs. 84.0%, P = 0.024), and increased rate of surgical site infections (SSI) (10.3% vs. 1.8%, P = 0.016). The median postoperative survival was lower in the HI group (7.6 years [CI 6.0-11.2] vs. 8.9 [CI 6.9-10.3]). CONCLUSIONS HI was associated with reduced median postoperative survival, greater readmission rate, and increased risk of SSI following AAA repair.

Abstract
The relationship between the anesthetic technique and cancer recurrence has not yet been clarified in cancer surgery. Surgical stress and inhalation anesthesia suppress cell-mediated immunity (CMI), whereas intravenous (IV) anesthesia with propofol and regional anesthesia (RA) are known to be protective for CMI. Surgical stress, general anesthesia (GA) with inhalation anesthesia and opioids contribute to perioperative immunosuppression and may increase cancer recurrence and decrease survival. Surgical stress and GA activate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and release neuroendocrine mediators such as cortisol, catecholamines, and prostaglandin E2, which may reduce host defense immunity and promote distant metastasis. On the other hand, IV anesthesia with propofol and RA with paravertebral block or epidural anesthesia can weaken surgical stress and GA-induced immunosuppression and protect the host defense immunity. IV anesthesia with propofol and RA or in combination with GA may reduce cancer recurrence and improve patient survival compared to GA alone. We review the current status of the relationship between anesthesia and breast cancer recurrence using retrospective and prospective studies conducted with animal models and clinical samples, and discuss the future prospects for reducing breast cancer recurrence and improving survival rates in breast cancer surgery.

Abstract
Depression is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and is significantly associated with the prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). We investigated the effect of repeated social defeat (RSD) on AAA development. Eight-week-old male wild-type mice were exposed to RSD by being housed with larger CD-1 mice in a shared cage. They were subjected to vigorous physical contact. After the confirmation of depressive-like behavior, calcium chloride was applied to the infrarenal aorta of the mice. At one week, AAA development was comparable between the defeated and control mice, without any differences being observed in the accumulated macrophages or in the matrix metalloproteinase activity. At two weeks, the maximum diameter and circumference of the aneurysm were significantly increased in the defeated mice, and a significant decrease in periaortic fibrosis was also observed. Consistently, the phosphorylation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase and the incorporation of 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine in the primarily cultured aortic vascular smooth muscle cells were significantly reduced in the defeated mice, which was accompanied by a substantial increase in mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1 (MKP-1). The MKP-1 mRNA and protein expression levels during AAA were much higher in the defeated mice than they were in the control mice. Our findings demonstrate that RSD enhances AAA development by suppressing periaortic fibrosis after an acute inflammatory response and imply novel mechanisms that are associated with depression-related AAA development.
