Subclinical atherosclerosis in young β-thalassemia major (β-TM) patients and its risk factors including dyslipidemia compared to type 1 diabetic patients were assessed. Ninety subjects were included and divided into three groups: group I comprised 30 β-TM patients with a mean age of 18.4 ± 6.18 years; group II comprised of 30 type 1 diabetic patients with a mean age of 19.23 ± 4.25 years, and 30 healthy subjects served as controls in group III. Fasting lipid profiles, hemoglobin (Hb) electrophoresis, serum ferritin and high resolution ultrasound for the measurement of carotid artery intima media thickness (CIMT) were done. Serum triglycerides, total cholesterol, apoprotein A (ApoA), and CIMT were significantly elevated, while high density lipoproteins (HDL) were significantly lowered in thalassemic and diabetic patients compared to controls. In thalassemic patients, CIMT was positively correlated with age, Hb F, ferritin and cholesterol levels. Atherogenic lipid profiles in young thalassemic patients with increased CIMT highlights their importance as prognostic factors for vascular risk stratification. 相似文献

Cellular and cytokine-based inflammatory processes as novel therapeutic targets for the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Cardiovascular disease is the largest cause of morbidity and premature mortality and its major underlying pathology is atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis commences with the deposition of lipids in the artery wall due to trapping by proteoglycans. Trapped lipoproteins are chemically and enzymatically modified to yield pro-inflammatory species that induce adhesion molecule expression on endothelial cells leading to the recruitment of multiple species of immune cells and a chronic inflammatory response. Ongoing remodelling of the vessel and later morphological changes generate “vulnerable” plaques, the acute rupture of which generates the clinical event.The major medical therapies are anti-hypertensives and lipid lowering agents. Although these therapies are amongst the most efficacious in cardiovascular medicine, in optimised well-controlled clinical trials the maximum effect is limited to an approximately 30% reduction in cardiovascular events. Hence, a huge burden of disease remains refractory to current therapies and atherosclerosis and its sequelae persist as a therapeutic target of immense importance.Potential therapeutic targets include the proteoglycan: lipoprotein interaction in the vessel wall, circulating and vessel wall associated atherogenic lipid species and the immune system. Anti-inflammatory therapies include specific cytokine antagonists and cytokine neutralizing antibodies, specific immune cell depleting antibodies and cell therapies using antigen specific regulatory T-cells and regulatory B-cells.In this review, we describe the process of atherosclerosis as it involves the role of chronic inflammation in the development and progression of atherosclerotic plaques and then the manner in which some of these inflammatory processes represent therapeutic targets. 相似文献

Aim: The objectives of this study were to investigate the frequency of thickened carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) and atherosclerosis among lupus nephritis (LN) patients and to study their associated risk factors. Method: In this cross‐sectional study, carotid ultrasonography was performed on consecutive LN patients to determine CIMT and presence of carotid plaques. CIMT was considered to be abnormally thickened if it was more than the 75th percentile matched for age and sex from the ‘Carotid Atherosclerosis Progression Study’. The association between thickened CIMT with traditional cardiovascular risk factors and lupus characteristics were examined. A total of 83 patients with the mean age of 33.6 ± 10 years were recruited. Results: Fourteen patients (16.9%) had thickened CIMT and three (3.6%) had carotid plaques. On univariate analysis, traditional risk factors significantly associated with thickened CIMT (P < 0.05) were patient’s current age, diabetes mellitus and waist circumference. Meanwhile, a lower serum C4 levels and higher serum C‐reactive protein levels were the lupus‐specific factors associated with thickened CIMT (P < 0.05, P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively). In logistic regression analysis, the independent predictors of thickened CIMT were age of diagnosis, lower serum C4 levels and waist circumference (P < 0.05). Conclusion: More lupus specific factors were independently associated with thickened CIMT, suggesting that a multi‐targeted approach of treatment addressing both the lupus and traditional cardiovascular risks are very important. Larger prospective studies of these special risk factors are indicated. 相似文献

Background
Urinary microRNAs (miRNAs) play a role in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease (CKD).Aim
To identify the expression of urinary miR-377 and miR-216a in 50 children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) compared with 50 healthy controls and assess their relation to the degree of albuminuria, glycemic control and carotid intimal thickness (CIMT) as an index of atherosclerosis.Methods
Diabetic subjects were divided into normoalbuminuric and microalbuminuric groups according to urinary albumin creatinine ration (UACR). Urinary miRNAs were assessed using real time polymerase chain reaction. CIMT was measured using high resolution carotid ultrasound.Results
The expression of urinary miR-377 was significantly higher in patients with microalbumiuria (median, 3.8) compared with 2.65 and 0.98 in normoalbuminic patients and healthy controls, respectively (p < 0.05). Urinary miR-216a was significantly lower in all patients with type 1 diabetes and the lowest levels were among the microalbumiuric group. Significant positive correlations were found between urinary miR-377 and HbA1C, UACR and CIMT while urinary miR-216a was negatively correlated to these variables.Conclusions
Urinary miR-377 and miR-216a can be considered early biomarkers of nephropathy in pediatric type 1 diabetes. Their correlation with CIMT provides insights on the subclinical atherosclerotic process that occurs in diabetic nephropathy. 相似文献77.

Purpose: Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is a promising technique for the recovery of upper extremity movement in chronic stroke patients. However, the effectiveness of its use in acute ischemia has not been confirmed. Myelin-associated inhibitors, which have upregulated functions in tissues affected by acute focal infarction, limit axonal regeneration via activation of the Rho–Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) pathway. The present study examined whether early CIMT combined with the ROCK inhibitor fasudil promotes motor recovery after acute ischemic stroke. Materials and Methods: Rats were trained to perform the skilled-reach test and then subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), producing a stroke affecting the preferred forelimb. Rats were assigned to one of four groups (N = 6/group): (nontreated) Control, CIMT, Fasudil, or CIMT+fasudil. CIMT and/or intraperitoneal infusion of fasudil were initiated 1 day postMCAO. Skilled reach and foot fault test data were collected once before and repeatedly over 4 weeks after the operation. Infarct volumes were calculated. Results: All four groups showed similar forelimb impairment before treatment. The performance of CIMT alone group was similar to that of controls on both tests. Fasudil alone facilitated recovery in the foot-fault test, but not in the skilled-reach test. Rats in the CIMT+fasudil group demonstrated enhanced recovery in both tests, including better performance over time than the Fasudil group on the foot-fault test. Infarct size did not differ significantly between the groups. Conclusions: Early CIMT promotes motor recovery after acute ischemic stroke when it is administered with fasudil pharmacotherapy, but not without it. 相似文献
