A family consisting of a mother and father, heterozygous for idiopathic hyperlipemia, and their four offspring, one heterozygous and three homozygous for the disease, are described. In addition, a fifth child who is heterozygous, born of same mother but by another incompletely studied father, is presented. The genetics of the disease in this family, and also in the general population, with emphasis on diagnosis and prognosis in heterozygotes is discussed. The interrelationship of various lipid components in serum and their metabolism are briefly reviewed. The possible defective mechanisms in hyperlipemia, the techniques for deciding on the specific defect, and their application to the members of this family are reviewed. The effect of heparin, nicotinic acid, and fat-free diets in the homozygous members of the family are evaluated and their therapeutic applications are discussed. The symptomatology, possible pathologic physiology, relationship to lipid levels in serum and occurrence of abdominal crises in some of the homozygous members of this family are pointed out. The relationship of cholesterol and triglyceride levels in serum to, and the significance of, idiopathic hyperlipemia in the genesis of, atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease is elucidated.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. High phospholipase A2 activity is associated with atherosclerotic disorders of the arteries, while paraoxonase activity decreases with increasing atherogenic plasma activity. The purpose is to study the relationship between the combined effect of phospholipase A2 and paraoxonase activity on vascular endothelial dysfunction in various forms of coronary artery disease. We examined 152 men 52.5 ± 0.8 years, including 53 - STEMI, 32 - NSTEMI, 67 - chronic chronic coronary syndromes (CCS). Methods. All patients were examined for endothelial function of the brachial artery with a test for reactive hyperemia and vasodilation with exogenous NO, as well as determination of phospholipase A2 activity and plasma paraoxonase activity. All studiies conform to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki of the World Medical Association. Results. Dynamics evaluation of endothelial function indicates a significant increase in blood flow in the brachial artery after compression in the NSTEMI group, but a decrease in the STEMI group after vasodilation of exogenous NO. Analysis of phospholipase A2 activity and paraoxonase showed an increasing the first in STEMI group compared to NSTEMI one and CCS while decreasing the second in the corresponding groups (Tab. 1). The results of the study confirm the association of increased activity of phospholipase A2 with vascular disorders severity, the correction of which should be considered a priority in prospective studies. The fact of reducing the activity of paraoxonase should be considered in the correction treatment of vascular disorders.

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the association between PEAR1 polymorphisms and ischemic clinical outcomes. Materials & methods: We searched the electronic database for articles on the relationship of PEAR1 SNPs and ischemic events in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) up to October 2020. Results: A total of 9914 patients with CAD from six studies focusing on 12 SNPs of PEAR1 were included in this study. The A allele of rs12041331 were associated with ischemic events (odds ratio: 1.40; 95% CI: 1.04–1.88; p = 0.03). The AA homozygotes of rs2768759 was related to a higher risk of ischemic events than carriers of the C allele (odds ratio: 2.08; 95% CI: 1.09–3.97; p = 0.03). Conclusion: PEAR1 rs12041331 and rs2768759 are significantly associated with ischemic events in patients with CAD.

Antibodies to oxidized LDL (oxLDL) may be associated with improved outcomes in cardiovascular disease. However, analysis is restricted by heterogenous study design and endpoints. Our objective was to conduct a comprehensive systematic review assessing anti-oxLDL antibodies in relation to coronary artery disease (CAD). Through a systematic literature search, we identified all studies assessing the relationship of either, IgG or IgM ox-LDL/ copper-oxLDL/ malondialdehyde-LDL, with coronary atherosclerosis or cardiovascular events in populations with, and without, established CAD. Systematic review best practices were adhered to and study quality was assessed. An initial electronic database search identified 2059 records, which was subsequently followed by abstract and full-text review. Finally, we included 18 studies with over 1811 patients with CAD. The studies varied according to populations studied, conventional cardiovascular risk factors and interventional modalities used to assess CAD. IgM anti-oxLDL antibodies were found to indicate protection from more severe CAD and possibly cardiovascular events, whilst the relationship with IgG is more complex and difficult to elucidate, with studies reporting divergent results. In this systematic review, there is evidence that suggests a relationship between anti-oxLDL antibodies and CAD, especially for the IgM subclass. However, further studies, with well-characterized prospective cohorts, will be important to clarify these associations.
