Purpose: Statins (HMG-coA reductase inhibitors) protect vessels from atherosclerosis through various mechanisms, but the clinical significance of statin-induced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) changes has not been established. We evaluated the effects of statin treatment on the antioxidative activities of HDLs in ischemic stroke patients with and without white matter hyperintensity (WMH). Methods: From January to December in 2013, eighty-two ischemic stroke patients (57 men, 25 women; mean age 67.0 ± 11.8 years) at the Wonkwang Medical Center were recruited retrospectively and antioxidant activity was assessed via paraoxonase 1 (PON1) activity. We studied changes in the patients’ lipid profiles and assessed PON1 activity in patients with and without WMH, at baseline and 8 weeks after treatment with rosuvastatin 10 mg/d. Results: All patients evaluated antioxidant activity using PON1 activity at admission. After 8 weeks of rosuvastatin treatment, the mean HDL concentration increased to 0.83± 10.1 mg/dL. The HDL levels increased in 54 patients (64.3%) and decreased in 30 patients (35.7%). PON1 activity increased to 15.0% in all patients, regardLess of WMH after rosuvastatin treatment (+ 25.4% in subjects without WMH; P < 0.001). Baseline PON1 activity modestly correlated with HDL levels (r = 0.365, P = 0.019); however, PON1 activity after treatment did not correlate with HDL levels (r = 0.149, P = 0.347). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that statins increase antioxidant activity, especially assessed via PON1 activity, in ischemic stroke patients who did not have WMH.

Abstract Background:This study aimed to compare the characteristics of carotid plaques between patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA) and ischemic stroke using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging.Methods：Patients with a recent ischemic stroke or TIA who exhibited atherosclerotic plaques of carotid arteries in the symptomatic sides determined by MR vessel wall imaging were recruited. The plaque morphology and compositions including intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH), lipid-rich necrotic-core (LRNC) and calcification were compared between TIA and stroke patients. Logistic regression was performed to relate the plaque characteristics to the types of ischemic events.Results:A total of 270 patients with TIA or ischemic stroke were recruited. Stroke patients had significantly higher prevalence of diabetes (42.2% vs. 28.2%, p=0.021), greater mean wall area (35.1 ± 10.1 mm2 vs. 32.0 ± 7.7 mm2, p = 0.004), mean wall thickness (1.3 ± 0.2 mm vs. 1.2 ± 0.2 mm, p=0.001), maximum normalized wall index (NWI)(63.9% ± 6.0% vs. 62.2% ± 5.9%, p=0.023) and %volume of LRNC (9.7%± 8.2% vs. 7.4% ±7.9%, p=0.025) in carotid arteries compared to those with TIA. After adjusted for clinical factors, above characteristics of carotid arteries were significantly associated with the type of ischemic events. After further adjusted for maximum NWI, this association remained statistically significant (OR, 1.41; CI, 1.01-1.96; p=0.041).Conclusions:Ischemic stroke patients had larger plaque burden and greater proportion of LRNC in carotid plaques compared to those with TIA. This study suggests that ischemic stroke patients had more vulnerable plaques compared to those with TIA.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the association of <em>APOE</em>, <em>MTHFR</em> and <em>ACE</em> polymorphisms with stroke in the Zambian population. We analyzed 41 stroke patients and 116 control subjects all of Zambian origin for associations between the genotype of the <em>APOE</em>, <em>MTHFR</em> and <em>ACE</em> polymorphisms and stroke. The <em>APOE</em> ε2ε4 genotype showed increased risk for hemorrhagic stroke (P&lt;0.05) and also a high risk for ischemic stroke (P=0.05). There was complete absence of the <em>APOE</em> ε2ε2 and the <em>MTHFR</em> TT genotypes in the Zambian population. The difference between cases and controls was not significant for the other genetic variants when analyzed for relationship between stroke, stroke subtype and genotype. We show that genetic variation at the <em>APOE locus</em> affects susceptibility to stroke. No detectable association were observed for the <em>MTHFR</em> and <em>ACE</em> genotypes and stroke in the Zambian population.

Common Genetic Variants

Introduction: There is an unmet need to understand the genetic factors associated with stroke outcome. The purpose of this study is to identify the common genetic variants, if any, associated with incident of ischemic stroke in a community-based population and to determine if any genetic risk can be enriched in fatal stroke patients. Methods: Cases and controls of ischemic stroke were identified by leveraging the comprehensive Electronic Health Record, and endophenotypes, e.g. the fatal or nonfatal stroke was defined by those dying within one month (fatal incidence) or surviving to 12 months (nonfatal incidence) of their first-ever stroke incident. The GWAS was carried out in a nested case-control design by considering all patients with age >79 and without any stroke-related diagnostic codes as low-risk control. A linear mixed regression model (SAIGE) with saddlepoint approximation, adjusted for covariates was conducted to account for the relatedness and case-control imbalance. Results: No genome-wide significant association was identified for ischemic stroke (n=1,179) versus control (n=7,489). When stratifying stroke patients by the fatality (n=61/1,118), rs80094021 (MAF = 0.038; OR=3.332±0.635; p=9.04E-11) and SNPs in LD with, located at an intronic region of TIAM1, were the top associated signal. All these SNPs served as eQTL for TIAM1(β=0.144, p=5.8E-13, eQTLGen). Rs79694970, the second top SNP (MAF = 0.020; OR=4.179±0.931; p=9.27E-09), is located near GPD1L and functions as eQTL for GPD1L(β=-0.279, p=6.1E-28). GPD1L plays a role in the DPD1L-dependent SCN5A phosphorylation pathway, thereby regulating cardiac sodium current. Dysfunction of sodium current can cause fatal ventricular arrhythmia. According to PheWAS data from UK Biobank, rs80094021 showed a moderate association with high cholesterol (p=0.0045), coronary atherosclerosis (p=0.0075), and angina (p=0.012), with the same direction for the minor allele which increased the risk for fatal stroke. rs79694970 were associated with ischemic stroke (large artery atherosclerosis) with p=0.0016. Conclusion: Through stratification of ischemic stroke by fatality some genetic risk factors and genes with biological relevant to the pathogenesis of stroke could be identified.

This study suggests that ischemic stroke patients had more vulnerable plaques compared to those with TIA.
