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
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anthracycline antibiotic frequently used against a wide range of cancers, including breast cancer. Although the drug is effective as a treatment against cancer, many patients develop heart failure (HF) months to years following their last treatment with DOX. The challenge in preventing DOX-induced cardiotoxicity is that symptoms present after damage has already occurred in the myocardium. Therefore, early biomarkers to assess DOX-induced cardiotoxicity are urgently needed. A better understanding of the mechanisms involved in the toxicity is important as this may facilitate the development of novel early biomarkers or therapeutic approaches. In this review, we discuss the role of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles and its components as possible key players in the early development of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. HDL particles exist in different subclasses which vary in composition and biological functionality. Multiple cardiovascular risk factors are associated with a change in HDL subclasses, resulting in modifications of their composition and physiological functions. There is growing evidence in the literature suggesting that cancer affects HDL subclasses and that healthy HDL particles enriched with sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) protect against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. Here, we therefore discuss associations and relationships between HDL, DOX and cancer and discuss whether assessing HDL subclass/composition/function may be considered as a possible early biomarker to detect DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.

Modulatory effect of berberine on plasma lipoprotein (or lipid) profile: a review. Mol Biol Rep 2022; 49:10885-10893. [PMID: 35941413 DOI: 10.1007/s11033-022-07623-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2021] [Revised: 04/24/2022] [Accepted: 05/20/2022] [Indexed: 10/15/2022]
Abstract
Berberine is a bioactive isoquinoline alkaloid compound extracted from various medicinal plants, such as Barberry. Berberine shows various pharmacological properties that are mainly attributed to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. A growing body of evidence has shown that berberine influences cholesterol metabolism, and consequently, may ameliorate dyslipidemias and atherosclerosis. Plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is known to have an independent negative association with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, several outcomes trials and genetic studies have failed to meet expecting the beneficial effects of elevating plasma HDL-C concentrations. Hence, investigations are currently focused on enhancing the functionality of HDL particles, independent of their plasma concentrations. HDL particles show various qualities because of a heterogeneous composition. Consistent with complex metabolism and composition, various biological functions are found for HDL, such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-apoptotic, and anti-thrombotic activities. Protective effects of berberine may impact the functionality of HDL; therefore, the present literature review was intended to determine whether berberine can amplify HDL function. It was concluded that berberine may regulate markers of HDL activity, such as apo-AI, cholesterol efflux, LCAT, PON1, and S1P activities and levels. Consequently, berberine may recuperate conditions with dysfunctional HDL and, therefore, have the potential to emerge as a therapeutic agent. However, further human trials of berberine are warranted to evaluate its impact on HDL function and cholesterol metabolism.

Abstract
In Poland there are still nearly 20 million individuals with hypercholesterolaemia, most of them are unaware of their condition; that is also why only ca. 5% of patients with familial hypercholesterolaemia have been diagnosed; that is why other rare cholesterol metabolism disorders are so rarely diagnosed in Poland. Let us hope that these guidelines, being an effect of work of experts representing 6 main scientific societies, as well as the network of PoLA lipid centers being a part of the EAS lipid centers, certification of lipidologists by PoLA, or the growing number of centers for rare diseases, with a network planned by the Ministry of Health, improvements in coordinated care for patients after myocardial infarction (KOS-Zawał), reimbursement of innovative agents, as well as introduction in Poland of an effective primary prevention program, will make improvement in relation to these unmet needs in diagnostics and treatment of lipid disorders possible.

Subpopulations of High-Density Lipoprotein: Friends or Foes in Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Chronic Kidney Disease? Biomedicines 2021; 9:554. [PMID: 34065648 PMCID: PMC8157071 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines9050554] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2021] [Revised: 05/11/2021] [Accepted: 05/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Dyslipidemia is a major traditional risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, although the altered lipid profile does not explain the number and severity of CVD events. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is a heterogeneous (size, composition, and functionality) population of particles with different atherogenic or atheroprotective properties. HDL-cholesterol concentrations per se may not entirely reflect a beneficial or a risk profile for CVD. Large HDL in CKD patients may have a unique proteome and lipid composition, impairing their cholesterol efflux capacity. This lack of HDL functionality may contribute to the paradoxical coexistence of increased large HDL and enhanced risk for CVD events. Moreover, CKD is associated with inflammation, oxidative stress, diabetes, and/or hypertension that are able to interfere with the anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, and antithrombotic properties of HDL subpopulations. How these changes interfere with HDL functions in CKD is still poorly understood. Further studies are warranted to fully clarify if different HDL subpopulations present different functionalities and/or atheroprotective effects. To achieve this goal, the standardization of techniques would be valuable.

Abstract
Diabetes represents the leading risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Chronic hyperglycemia and/or acute post-prandial changes in blood glucose determine an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS), which play a fundamental role in endothelial dysfunction and in the nuclear transport of pro-atherogenic transcription factors that activate the "inflammasome". In addition, the glycemic alteration favors the formation and stabilization of atherosclerotic plaque through the mechanism of non-enzymatic glycation of different molecules, with the establishment of the so-called "advanced glycosylation end products" (AGE). Laboratory information provided by the level of biomarkers could make a quantitative and qualitative contribution to the clinical process of screening, prediction, prevention, diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring of cardiovascular (CV) risk linked to diabetes. This review describes the importance of specific biomarkers, with particular focus on novel ones, for stratifying and management of diabetes CV risk.

Clin Rheumatol 2021; 40:2873-2880. [PMID: 33538925 DOI: 10.1007/s10067-021-05595-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2020] [Revised: 12/06/2020] [Accepted: 01/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective was to identify the comorbidities of gout, to compare gender difference and independent factors of frequent gout attacks (> 20 times). METHOD Demographic, clinical variables, self-reported comorbidities, and biochemical variables (i.e., initial serum uric acid (UA) and UA at visit) were collected in this cross-sectional study. Gout attack times were recorded as ≤ 5, 6-10, 11-20, and > 20. Adjusted odds ratio (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated to explore the association between selected risk factors and frequent gout attacks. RESULTS Six hundred fifty-three gout patients with a mean age of 48.3 ± 15.8 years were included, 84.7% of whom were males. The median gout duration was 6.0 (3.0-12.0) years. The most common comorbidities involved hypertension (166, 25.4%), coronary artery disease (CAD) (67, 10.3%), chronic kidney disease (66, 10.1%), and hyperlipidemia (57, 8.7%). Abnormalities including nephrolithiasis (29.4%), hydronephrosis (3.2%), and gallstones (11.9%) were also found. Although female patients had a longer disease duration and more CAD, they had a lower level of UA, creatine, and C-reactive protein (CRP) but higher high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (p < 0.05). A positive correlation between UA and triglycerides was found in females (p = 0.039). Patients with renal insufficiency or nephrolithiasis had longer disease duration and more gout attacks (p < 0.001). In multivariable regression analysis, only gout duration (OR = 7.89, p < 0.001) and UA (OR = 1.48, p < 0.001) was independent factors of frequent gout attacks. CONCLUSIONS Comorbidity screening involving dyslipidemia is often neglected in gout patients. Gout duration and UA are the risk factors of frequent gout attacks. Key Points • Comorbidities can be overlooked if the screening for lipid levels, cardiovascular disease, and kidney disease is not completed. • There are differences in comorbidities and biochemical findings between male and female patients with gout. • Gout duration and serum uric acid level are independent risk factors of frequent gout attacks.

Abstract
Background Dyslipidemia is an essential parameter in the prediction of cardiovascular disease (CVD). We aimed to explore whether lipid profiles could predict major outcomes in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods We retrospectively reviewed the National Health Insurance Service database for people who received nationwide health screening in 2009. All subjects exposed to a lipid-lowering agent before screening were excluded. The population was divided into control, early [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 45-59 mL/min/1.73 m2] and advanced (eGFR <45 mL/min/1.73 m2) CKD groups. The hazard ratios (HRs) of outcomes were calculated using multivariate Cox regression models. Results A total of 3 634 873 participants were included in this study, with 404 298 (11.1%) and 66 805 (1.8%) having early and advanced CKD, respectively. For all populations, levels of triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) showed a linear association with major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) and all-cause mortality, while low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) showed a different pattern of association with MACCEs (linear association) from all-cause mortality (U-shaped association). The significance between the levels of LDL-C and outcomes was attenuated in the advanced CKD group. For TG/HDL-C, although the significance was decreased, the linear patterns with both MACCEs and all-cause mortality were maintained in the advanced CKD group. Conclusions The pattern and significance of lipid profiles were different according to the grade of kidney function. TG/HDL-C should be additionally considered as a predictive marker for CVD and mortality along with LDL-C in patients with CKD.

Lipids Health Dis 2020; 19:31. [PMID: 32127000 PMCID: PMC7053114 DOI: 10.1186/s12944-020-1197-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2019] [Accepted: 01/21/2020] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dyslipidemia often concurs with hyperuricemia. Our study was to discover different lipid levels of gout and asymptomatic hyperuricemia and the predictors of sUA (serum uric acid) levels. METHODS A cross-sectional study was performed to collect demographic, clinical variables, comorbidities and laboratory testing in patients with gout and asymptomatic hyperuricemia. Group comparison was performed with Student's t-test or Mann Whitney U test for continuous variables and chi-squared tests for categorical variables (Fisher's exact test where appropriate) and to screen potential risk factors. Correlation of sUA levels with demographic and biochemical variables were performed by using correlation analysis. The variable with s p-value less than 0.20 during the group comparison or clinical relevance was introduced into the stepwise multiple regression model. RESULTS Six hundred fifty-three patients with gout and 63 patients with asymptomatic hyperuricemia (> 420 μmol/L in male and > 360 μmol/L in female) were enrolled, including 553 (84.7%) males. The mean age was 47.8 ± 16.0 years old. Elevated total cholesterol (TC) was observed in 173 (26.5%) cases with gout. Increased triglycerides (TG) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) levels were observed in 242 (37.1%) cases and 270 (41.3%) cases with gout, individually. In contrast, elevated TC, TG and LDL-C levels were observed in 10 (15.9%) cases, 30 (47.6%) cases and 22 (34.9%) cases with hyperuricemia, individually. Significant differences were found in age, serum creatine, TC and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) between gout and asymptomatic hyperuricemia groups (p < 0.05). In patients with asymptomatic hyperuricemia, 12 (19.0%) patients had hypertension and 5 (7.9%) suffered from coronary heart diseases. Male (B = -112.7, p < 0.001), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) (B = -60.797, p = 0.013), body mass index (BMI) (B = 5.168, p = 0.024), age (B = -3.475, p = 0.006), age of hyperuricemia onset (B = 2.683, p = 0.032), and serum creatine (B = 0.534, p < 0.001) were predictors of sUA levels in gout patients (adjusted R2 = 28.7%). CONCLUSIONS Dyslipidemia is more commonly seen in patients with gout, compared to asymptomatic hyperuricemia. HDL-C is a protective predictor of sUA levels in gout.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of the study was to assess the association of elevated serum pregnancy associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) and the risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular events and mortality due to infection in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). MATERIAL AND METHODS We systematically searched the Medline database up to March 2017. A random effects model was used to pool the relative risks (RRs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Sensitivity analysis and subgroup analysis were performed to explore the potential sources of heterogeneity. RESULTS Six studies involving 2034 subjects were included. The pooled RRs for the risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events were 1.50 (95% CI: 1.17-1.92), 1.26 (95% CI: 0.95-1.69), respectively. Sensitivity analysis by excluding each individual study showed no influence on the main results. Subgroup analysis showed that age, male proportion, follow-up term, and assay methods were not modifiable factors. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that elevated serum PAPP-A is associated with the risk of all-cause mortality in patients with CKD.

Associations between neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, platelet/lymphocyte ratio, albuminuria and uric acid and the estimated glomerular filtration rate in hypertensive patients with chronic kidney disease stages 1-3. Arch Med Sci 2019; 15:1232-1239.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), albuminuria and uric acid are known to be independent predictors of hypertension and cardiovascular mortality. However, to date, no study has been conducted describing the relationships between the NLR, PLR and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in hypertensive patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who do not require renal replacement therapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS This prospective study included 271 patients with essential hypertension and eGFR ≥ 30 ml/min/1.73 m2. The patients were divided into two groups: those with CKD stages 1 and 2 and those with stage 3. We used the complete blood count to calculate the NLR and PLR, and we measured the albuminuria and uric acid levels. Then, we studied their associations with the eGFR and their potential uses as independent risk factors for renal damage. RESULTS The NLR, albuminuria and uric acid were higher in patients with CKD stage 3 than in those with stages 1 and 2 (p = 0.013, p = 0.001 and p = 0.001, respectively). However, no significant difference was detected in the PLR. In stage 3 patients, albuminuria and uric acid were found to be independent risk factors affecting the eGFR (p = 0.042 and p = 0.001, respectively). However, the effects of the NLR and PLR on the eGFR were not significant (p = 0.104 and p = 0.578, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The NLR, similar to albuminuria and uric acid, the NLR was found to be a specific marker for CKD stage 3 patients. However, the NLR and PLR did not act as independent risk factors affecting the eGFR.

Lipoprotein modulation of proteinuric renal injury. J Transl Med 2019; 99:1107-1116.

Abstract
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) and its main protein, apolipoprotein AI (apoAI), have established benefits in various cells, but whether these cytoprotective effects of HDL pertain to renal cells is unclear. We investigated the in vitro consequences of exposing damaged podocytes to normal apoAI, HDL, and apoAI mimetic (L-4F), and the in vivo effects of L-4F on kidney and atherosclerotic injury in a podocyte-specific injury model of proteinuria. In vitro, primary mouse podocytes were injured by puromycin aminonucleoside (PAN). Cellular viability, migration, production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), apoptosis, and the underlying signaling pathway were assessed. In vivo, we used a proteinuric model, Nphs1-hCD25 transgenic (NEP25+) mice, which express human CD25 on podocytes. Podocyte injury was induced by using immunotoxin (LMB2) and generated a proteinuric atherosclerosis model, NEP25+:apoE-/- mice, was generated by mating apoE-deficient (apoE-/-) mice with NEP25+ mice. Animals received L-4F or control vehicle. Renal function, podocyte injury, and atherosclerosis were assessed. PAN reduced podocyte viability, migration, and increased ROS production, all significantly lessened by apoAI, HDL, and L-4F. L-4F attenuated podocyte apoptosis and diminished PAN-induced inactivation of Janus family protein kinase-2/signal transducers and activators of transcription 3. In NEP25+ mice, L-4F significantly lessened overall proteinuria, and preserved podocyte expression of synaptopodin and cell density. Proteinuric NEP25+:apoE-/- mice had more atherosclerosis than non-proteinuric apoE-/- mice, and these lesions were significantly decreased by L-4F. Normal human apoAI, HDL, and apoAI mimetic protect against podocyte damage. ApoAI mimetic provides in vivo beneficial effects on podocytes that culminate in reduced albuminuria and atherosclerosis. The results suggest supplemental apoAI/apoAI mimetic may be a novel candidate to lessen podocyte damage and its complications.

Abstract
Studies on the effects of longitudinal lipid trajectories on end-stage renal disease (ESRD) development and deaths among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are limited. We conducted a registry-based prospective study using data from a 13-year multidisciplinary pre-ESRD care program. The final study population comprised 4,647 patients with CKD. Using group-based trajectory modeling, we dichotomized longitudinal trajectories of total cholesterol (T-CHO), triglyceride (TG), LDL cholesterol (LDL-C), and HDL cholesterol (HDL-C). Time to ESRD or death was analyzed using multiple Cox regression. At baseline, higher levels of T-CHO and LDL-C were associated with rapid progression to ESRD, whereas only HDL-C was positively associated with all-cause mortality [adjusted hazard ratio (HR), 1.20; 95% CI, 1.06-1.36; P-value, 0.005]. Compared with those with a normal T-CHO trajectory, the fully adjusted HR of patients with a high T-CHO trajectory for ESRD risk was 1.21 (P-value, 0.019). Subgroup analysis showed that a high TG trajectory was associated with a 49% increase in mortality risk in CKD patients without diabetes (P-value for interaction, 0.012). In contrast to what was observed based on baseline HDL-C, patients with a trajectory of frequent hypo-HDL cholesterolemia had higher risk of all-cause mortality (adjusted HR, 1.53; P-value, 0.014). Thus, only T-CHO, both at baseline and over the longitudinal course, demonstrated a significant potential risk of incident ESRD. The inconsistency in the observed directions of association between baseline levels and longitudinal trajectories of HDL-C warrants further research to unveil specific pathogenic mechanisms underlying the HDL-C metabolism in patients with CKD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The elderly population (i.e. aged ≥ 65 years) is increasing worldwide. Ageing is associated with a higher incidence and prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Areas covered: The prevalence of CVD risk factors including type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension and dyslipidaemia also increases with advancing age, contributing to the higher absolute CVD risk observed in the elderly. The present narrative review comments on the associations of dyslipidaemia with CVD as well as the effects of lifestyle measures and lipid-lowering drugs on lipids and CVD risk with a special focus on the elderly population. Individual treatment goals and therapeutic options according to current guidelines are also reviewed. Finally, we discuss special characteristics of the elderly that may influence the efficacy and safety of drug therapy and should be considered before selection of hypolipidaemic pharmacotherapy. Expert commentary: There may be a greater CVD benefit in older patients following drug therapy compared with younger ones. Treatment goals and therapeutic options should be individualized according to current guidelines. Specific characteristics that may influence the efficacy and safety of drug therapy in the elderly should be considered in relation to dyslipidaemia treatment.

Abstract
Hypercholesterolaemia is amongst the most common conditions encountered in the medical profession. It remains one of the key modifiable cardiovascular risk factors and there have been recent advances in the risk stratification methods and treatment options available. In this review, we provide a background into hypercholesterolaemia for non-specialists and consider the merits of the different risk assessment tools available. We also provide detailed considerations as to: i) when to start treatment, ii) what targets to aim for and iii) the role of low density lipoprotein cholesterol.
