The article presents the results of a cluster analysis of the contribution of immune inflammationmarkers and endothelial dysfunction (ED) to the cardiovascular complicationsfrequency and severity in cohorts of patients with asymptomatic atherosclerosis (AAS), coronary artery disease (CAD), tyepe 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and metabolic syndrome (MS) during 3 years of prospective observation. A comparative analysis of the spectrum of the examined markers was performed depending on the stage of the development of the disease, the presence of T2DM and the MS. It was revealed that the greatest contribution to the cardiovascular complications development in AAS is provided by such circulating markers of ED and immune inflammation as ET-1, IL-1β, TNF-α, total autoantibodies to type I and III collagen (a-Coll) and to Chondroitine-sulfate (a-ChS). With IHD, the greatest contribution is provided by ET-1, eNOs, antibodies a-Coll and also IL-6 and vWf.In T2DM patients without CAD, a profile of markers associated with the high rate of adverse events includes ET-1, eNOs, IL-6, a-Coll and antibodies against hyaluronic acid (a-HA). In a cohort of patients with chronic CAD in the setting of T2DM, a profile of markers associated with the development of adverse events includes vWf, TNF-α, as well as the level of eNOs, IL-6, a-Coll, a-HA and CRP. In the cases of AAS without concomitant MS, the greatest contribution is due to the increase in the level of ET-1, vWf, a-Coll and a-ChS content; in the presence of MS — IL-1β, TNF-α, a-Coll, anti-ChS, anti-HA and CRP. In CAD without MS profile of markers associated with the development of adverse events, includes ET-1, eNOs and a-HA, the presence of the MS — a-Coll, ET-1 and IL-6 levels.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) patients are likely to have concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD). A new strategy of antithrombotic therapy in AF patients with stable CAD was demonstrated in recent randomized clinical trials. Now that antithrombotic therapy for AF patients with CAD has reached a major turning point, it is important to know the prognostic factors in those patients. Purpose: In this study, we investigated clinical characteristics, cardiovascular events and prognostic factors in AF patients with CAD. Methods: The Fushimi AF Registry, a community-based prospective survey, was designed to enroll all of the AF patients who visited the participating medical institutions in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, Japan. Follow up data including prescription status were available in 4,441 patients from March 2011 to November 2019. Of 4,441 patients, 645 patients had a history of CAD at enrollment. Results: The mean age was 76.4±8.6 and 65.9% were male. Averages of CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc score and HAS-BLED score were 4.41 and 2.35, respectively. Oral anticoagulant (OAC) was prescribed in 52.9% of those patients and antiplatelet drug (APD) was prescribed in 70.4%. The combination of OAC and APD was prescribed in 36.0%. During follow-up period (median 1,495 days), cardiac death occurred in 51 patients, composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke in 136, and major bleeding in 77 (1.8, 5.1 and 2.9 per 100 person-years, respectively). In multivariate analysis, factors associated with composite of cardiac death, MI and stroke in AF patients with CAD were low body weight (<=50kg) (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval]; 1.62 [1.07-2.47]), previous stroke (1.69 [1.13-2.52]), heart failure (1.47 [1.02-2.11]), hypertension (0.60 [0.41-0.87]) and diabetes mellitus (1.62 [1.13-2.32]). Furthermore, factors associated with major bleeding in AF patients with CAD were anemia (male: hemoglobin<12 g/dl, female: hemoglobin<11 g/dl) (1.82 [1.09-3.04]) and thrombocytopenia (<150,000 /μL) (3.02 [1.29-7.03]). Conclusion: In Japanese AF patients with CAD, low body weight, previous stroke, heart failure, hypertension and diabetes mellitus were associated with cardiovascular events, and anemia and thrombocytopenia were associated with major bleeding.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a multisystem endocrine disorder affecting the brain. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) pretreated with Melatonin have been shown to increase the potency of MSCs. This work aimed to compare Melatonin, stem cells, and stem cells pretreated with Melatonin on the cognitive functions and markers of synaptic plasticity in an animal model of type I diabetes mellitus (TIDM). Thirty-six rats represented the animal model; six rats for isolation of MSCs and 30 rats were divided into five groups: control, TIDM, TIDM + Melatonin, TIDM + Stem cells, and TIDM + Stem ex vivo Melatonin. Functional assessment was performed with Y-maze, forced swimming test and novel object recognition. Histological and biochemical evaluation of hippocampal Neuroligin 1, Sortilin, Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and Growth Associated Protein 43 (GAP43). The TIDM group showed a significant decrease of hippocampal Neuroligin, Sortilin, and BDNF and a significant increase in iNOS, TNF-α, TLR2, and GAP43. Melatonin or stem cells groups showed improvement compared to the diabetic group but not compared to the control group. TIDM + Stem ex vivo Melatonin group showed a significant improvement, and some values were restored to normal. Ex vivo melatonin-treated stem cells had improved spatial working and object recognition memory and depression, with positive effects on glucose homeostasis, inflammatory markers levels and synaptic plasticity markers expression.

During latest decade, as threat of acute complications of diabetes mellitus was surmounted, cardiovascular complications became leadingcause of death. Clinical manifestation of coronary, brachiocephalic and renal atherosclerosis is quite dramatic in diabetes mellitus,which determines extent of dissemination and intensity of lesions. Combination of these mutually confounding conditions is a characteristicproblem of patients with diabetes mellitus. Presence of 2+ risk factors (one of which is diabetes mellitus in itself) requiresactive examination in order to rule out coronary, brachiocephalic, peripheral and renal artery lesions. Aggressive care is necessaryin order to control progression of disease and administer adequate conservative and endovascular treatment with account of high riskof combination of lesions.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may lead to acute respiratory disease; cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and coagulation complications; and even death. One of the major complications is cardiovascular disorders, including arrhythmias, myocarditis, pericarditis, and acute coronary artery disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of cardiovascular complications and to determine its association with the prognosis of COVID-19 patients. In a prospective analytic study, 137 hospitalized COVID-19 patients were enrolled. During hospitalization, an electrocardiogram (ECG) was performed every other day, and laboratory tests such as cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) were done 0, 6, and 12 hours after admission. These tests were repeated for patients with chest pain or ECG changes. Patients were categorized into three groups (improved, complicated, and expired patients) and assessed for the rate and type of arrhythmias, cardiac complications, lab tests, and outcomes of treatments. There was no significant relationship among the three groups related to primary arrhythmia and arrhythmias during treatment. The most common arrhythmia during hospitalization and after treatment was ST-T fragment changes. There was a significant age difference between the three groups ( P = 0.001 ). There was a significant difference among the three groups for some underlying diseases, including diabetes mellitus ( P = 0.003 ) and hyperlipidemia ( P = 0.004 ). In our study, different types of arrhythmias had no association with patients’ outcomes but age over 60 years, diabetes mellitus, and hyperlipidemia played an important role in the prognosis of COVID-19 cases.
