Integration of vascular biology and magnetic resonance imaging in the understanding of atherothrombosis and acute coronary syndromes

Summary.  The interaction between the vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque prone to disruption and thrombus formation is the cornerstone of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Although distinct from one another, the atherosclerotic and thrombotic processes appear to be interdependent, hence the term atherothrombosis. Inflammation is a crucial common pathophysiological mechanism. Overall, the association of plaque vulnerability and ACS has been well documented. Given the multifactorial origin of atherothrombosis the best preventive approach should be aggressive management of all the risk factors. New interventions should be directed toward decreasing vulnerability of the lesions thereby decreasing the risk of ACS.     

Trained immunity in organ transplantation

Consistent induction of donor‐specific unresponsiveness in the absence of continuous immunosuppressive therapy and toxic effects remains a difficult task in clinical organ transplantation. Transplant immunologists have developed numerous experimental treatments that target antigen‐presentation (signal 1), costimulation (signal 2), and cytokine production (signal 3) to establish transplantation tolerance. While promising results have been obtained using therapeutic approaches that predominantly target the adaptive immune response, the long‐term graft survival rates remain suboptimal. This suggests the existence of unrecognized allograft rejection mechanisms that contribute to organ failure. We postulate that trained immunity stimulatory pathways are critical to the immune response that mediates graft loss. Trained immunity is a recently discovered functional program of the innate immune system, which is characterized by nonpermanent epigenetic and metabolic reprogramming of macrophages. Since trained macrophages upregulate costimulatory molecules (signal 2) and produce pro‐inflammatory cytokines (signal 3), they contribute to potent graft reactive immune responses and organ transplant rejection. In this review, we summarize the detrimental effects of trained immunity in the context of organ transplantation and describe pathways that induce macrophage training associated with graft rejection.

目的：探讨2型糖尿病患者自我效能的影响因素。方法2014年1~2月,从某社区卫生服务中心随机抽取372例2型糖尿病患者,进行糖尿病自我效能量表测量;采用单因素方差分析寻找自我效能的影响因素,将有统计学意义的因素运用多元回归进行统计学分析。结果该糖尿病人群自我效能得分为（99.02±16.06）分,59.9%处于中等水平;糖尿病教育、干预措施、医保类型、合并高脂血症为2型糖尿病自我效能的影响因素。结论2型糖尿病患者的自我效能有待改善,需加强2型糖尿病患者尤其合并高脂血症者的自我管理教育。     

From vulnerable plaque to vulnerable patient: a call for new definitions and risk assessment strategies: Part II

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease results in >19 million deaths annually, and coronary heart disease accounts for the majority of this toll. Despite major advances in treatment of coronary heart disease patients, a large number of victims of the disease who are apparently healthy die suddenly without prior symptoms. Available screening and diagnostic methods are insufficient to identify the victims before the event occurs. The recognition of the role of the vulnerable plaque has opened new avenues of opportunity in the field of cardiovascular medicine. This consensus document concludes the following. (1) Rupture-prone plaques are not the only vulnerable plaques. All types of atherosclerotic plaques with high likelihood of thrombotic complications and rapid progression should be considered as vulnerable plaques. We propose a classification for clinical as well as pathological evaluation of vulnerable plaques. (2) Vulnerable plaques are not the only culprit factors for the development of acute coronary syndromes, myocardial infarction, and sudden cardiac death. Vulnerable blood (prone to thrombosis) and vulnerable myocardium (prone to fatal arrhythmia) play an important role in the outcome. Therefore, the term "vulnerable patient" may be more appropriate and is proposed now for the identification of subjects with high likelihood of developing cardiac events in the near future. (3) A quantitative method for cumulative risk assessment of vulnerable patients needs to be developed that may include variables based on plaque, blood, and myocardial vulnerability. In Part I of this consensus document, we cover the new definition of vulnerable plaque and its relationship with vulnerable patients. Part II of this consensus document will focus on vulnerable blood and vulnerable myocardium and provide an outline of overall risk assessment of vulnerable patients. Parts I and II are meant to provide a general consensus and overviews the new field of vulnerable patient. Recently developed assays (eg, C-reactive protein), imaging techniques (eg, CT and MRI), noninvasive electrophysiological tests (for vulnerable myocardium), and emerging catheters (to localize and characterize vulnerable plaque) in combination with future genomic and proteomic techniques will guide us in the search for vulnerable patients. It will also lead to the development and deployment of new therapies and ultimately to reduce the incidence of acute coronary syndromes and sudden cardiac death. We encourage healthcare policy makers to promote translational research for screening and treatment of vulnerable patients.
