The thyroid gland is responsible for metabolism, as well as cardiac function and the peripheral vascular system. Thyroid dysfunctions are associated with an increase in the risk of cardiovascular diseases, including heart failure and coronary heart disease atrial fibrillation, by impairing heart contractility, stroke volume, heart rate, peripheral vascular resistance, and electrical activity. Thyroid dysfunctions also alter several cardiovascular risk factors, such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, as well as causing stroke, which is associated with atrial fibrillation. An antiarrhythmic drug, amiodarone, may also induce both thyrotoxicosis and hypothyroidism, so its use requires serial thyroid function testing. Every CVD patient is recommended to be screened and treated for any possible thyroid dysfunction to reduce the patient’s mortality and morbidity.
甲状腺负责新陈代谢、心脏功能和外周血管系统。甲状腺功能障碍会损害心脏收缩力、每搏量、心率、外周血管阻力和心电活动,从而增加罹患心血管疾病(包括心力衰竭和冠心病心房颤动)的风险。甲状腺功能障碍还会改变多种心血管风险因素,如动脉粥样硬化、高血压和血脂异常,并导致与心房颤动有关的中风。抗心律失常药物胺碘酮也可能同时诱发甲状腺毒症和甲状腺功能减退症,因此使用这种药物需要进行连续的甲状腺功能检测。建议对每一位心血管疾病患者进行筛查并治疗任何可能的甲状腺功能障碍,以降低患者的死亡率和发病率。

Background

Catheter ablation is a well-established treatment to prevent atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL) recurrences and to relieve symptoms, whereas pacemaker implantation and atrioventricular node (AVN) ablation is used for rate control when medical therapy fails.

Aims

We investigated temporal trends and patient characteristics in catheter ablation procedures for AF, AFL and AVN in Finland between 2012–2018.

Methods

Finnish AntiCoagulation in Atrial Fibrillation (FinACAF) is a registry-based study including all patients with AF or AFL in Finland between 2012–2018.

Results

The number of patients with AF or AFL diagnosis in Finland increased from 185 057 to 243 802 between 2012–2018 and a total of 8954 first-time catheter ablation procedures were performed. Of them, 4909 (54.8 %) were AF ablations, 2731 (30.5 %) AFL ablations and 1314 (14.7 %) AVN ablations. The procedural numbers increased from 457/year to 934/year for AF, from 223/year to 553/year for AFL and from 114/year to 238/year for AVN. Altogether, 0.65% of all patients with diagnosed AF or AFL underwent AF, AFL or AVN ablation in 2018. The mean age of the patients increased in all ablation groups. Patients undergoing AF and AFL ablations were predominantly men (69.7 % and 74.6 % respectively) whereas patients undergoing AVN ablation were more often women (56.9%).

Conclusions

The use of catheter ablation more than doubled during 2012–2018 and the increase was particularly seen in the elderly patients. Nevertheless, only a minority of AF and AFL patients were treated with catheter ablations.
背景导管消融术是一种行之有效的治疗方法,可预防房颤(AF)和房扑(AFL)复发并缓解症状,而起搏器植入术和房室结(AVN)消融术则用于药物治疗无效时的心率控制。方法芬兰心房颤动抗凝研究(FinACAF)是一项以登记为基础的研究,包括 2012-2018 年间芬兰所有心房颤动或心房颤动患者。结果2012-2018 年间,芬兰确诊为心房颤动或心房颤动的患者人数从 185 057 人增至 243 802 人,共进行了 8954 例首次导管消融术。其中,房颤消融术 4909 例(54.8%),AFL 消融术 2731 例(30.5%),房室网络消融术 1314 例(14.7%)。房颤的手术次数从 457 次/年增加到 934 次/年,前房颤的手术次数从 223 次/年增加到 553 次/年,房室结的手术次数从 114 次/年增加到 238 次/年。2018年,在所有确诊为房颤或房颤的患者中,共有0.65%的患者接受了房颤、房颤或房室结消融术。所有消融组患者的平均年龄均有所上升。接受房颤和房颤消融术的患者以男性为主(分别占 69.7% 和 74.6%),而接受房室结消融术的患者则以女性居多(56.9%)。结论 2012-2018 年间,导管消融术的使用率增加了一倍多,老年患者的使用率增幅尤为明显。然而,只有少数房颤和房颤患者接受了导管消融治疗。

Objectives

Given that pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thromboembolic hypertension (CTEPH) are rare yet severe subtypes of pulmonary hypertension significantly impacting patients’ lives, this study analyzed the total societal costs of these conditions in Finland.

Methods

PAH (n = 247) and CTEPH (n = 177) patients diagnosed between 2008 and 2019 were analyzed for primary and specialty outpatient visits, emergency visits, hospitalizations, home and institutional care, sick leaves, disability pensions, and drug costs for 5 years before and after diagnosis.

Results

In PAH and CTEPH, annual specialty care number of outpatient visits increased from 3.8 and 3.3 (5 years before diagnosis) to 13.8 and 9.5 one-year post-diagnosis, then decreased to 9.2 and 4.0 at 5 years post-diagnosis. Annual inpatient days rose from 2.8 and 2.7 to 16.1 and 19.7 pre-diagnosis, then fell to 10.2 and 3.5 post-diagnosis, respectively. Within 5 years post-diagnosis, in working-age 70 % PAH and 42 % CTEPH patients received disability pensions. Drug therapy accounted for most costs (67 % in PAH and 60 % in CTEPH), followed by inpatient care, disability pensions, and outpatient care. Total costs were significantly lower for CTEPH, especially after pulmonary endarterectomy. Among PAH subtypes, the highest costs were in patients with PAH associated with connective tissue diseases.

Conclusions

PAH and CTEPH cause a significant economic burden on patients and society with considerable differences depending on the PAH subtype and whether the patient has undergone PEA operation or not.
目的鉴于肺动脉高压(PAH)和慢性血栓栓塞性高血压(CTEPH)是肺动脉高压的罕见但严重的亚型,对患者的生活造成了重大影响,本研究分析了这些疾病在芬兰的社会总成本。方法 分析了2008年至2019年期间确诊的PAH(n = 247)和CTEPH(n = 177)患者在确诊前后5年的初级和专科门诊就诊、急诊就诊、住院、家庭和机构护理、病假、残疾抚恤金和药物费用。结果在 PAH 和 CTEPH 中,专科年门诊量分别从 3.8 人次和 3.3 人次(诊断前 5 年)增至诊断后一年的 13.8 人次和 9.5 人次,然后降至诊断后 5 年的 9.2 人次和 4.0 人次。年住院天数分别从诊断前的 2.8 天和 2.7 天上升到 16.1 天和 19.7 天,然后下降到诊断后的 10.2 天和 3.5 天。在确诊后的 5 年内,70% 的 PAH 和 42% 的 CTEPH 患者在工作年龄段领取了残疾抚恤金。药物治疗占大部分费用(67% 的 PAH 患者和 60% 的 CTEPH 患者),其次是住院治疗、残疾抚恤金和门诊治疗。CTEPH 的总费用明显较低,尤其是在肺动脉内膜切除术之后。在 PAH 亚型中,伴有结缔组织疾病的 PAH 患者的费用最高。

Background

Inadequate representation of women and racial minorities in heart failure (HF) clinical trials continues to limit the generalizability of the results. This could create a disparity in treatment for future heart failure therapies and devices. The study aims to assess the representation of women and racial minorities in recent heart failure studies involving sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors.

Methods

PubMed was used to search randomized controlled trials (RCTs) looking at SGLT-2 inhibitors and heart failure, which were published from inception to August 2024.

Results

A total of 43 RCTs with 27,703 participants were identified. The studies were published between 2018 and 2024. Seven studies (41 %) were multi-country, with 45 countries represented. The overall proportion of women enrolled in the studies was 35.6 %. The proportion of women was 24.06 % in studies that recruited only patients with HFrEF, 44.33 % in those that recruited only patients with HFpEF, and 41.4 % in those that recruited both HFrEF and HFpEF. Data on race was partially reported in 25 studies (58 %). 76 % of the pharmaceutical industry-funded studies reported race data. However, only 33.3 % of the unfunded or non-industry-funded studies reported race data. In the studies that reported race data, 72.91 % were Caucasians, 15.48 % were Asians, 5.62 % were African-American and 4.1 % were mixed race or others.
In the bivariate analysis, race was more likely to be reported in studies done in the US (p < 0.001), multi-country studies (p = 0.013), and studies sponsored by pharmaceutical companies. More than a third of the study participants were more likely to be women in more recently published studies than older studies (p < 0.001). Additionally, more than a third of the study participants were more likely to be women in studies done in the US (p = 0.055). The multivariate analysis showed an increased odds of having more than a third of the study participants being women in more recently published studies (OR 1.83, 95 % CI 1.06–3.17, p = 0.031) and in studies done in the US (OR 7.69, 95 % CI 1.53–38.59, p = 0.013).

Conclusion

Our study found that women and racial minority individuals have remained underrepresented in recent heart failure studies. Although some progress has been made over the years, more work is needed to improve data reporting and address barriers to enrollment for women and racial minority individuals in clinical trials.
背景在心力衰竭(HF)临床试验中,女性和少数民族的代表性不足,这继续限制了试验结果的推广性。这可能会造成未来心衰疗法和设备在治疗上的差异。本研究旨在评估近期涉及钠-葡萄糖共转运体-2(SGLT-2)抑制剂的心衰研究中女性和少数种族的代表性。方法使用PubMed搜索从开始到2024年8月发表的有关SGLT-2抑制剂和心衰的随机对照试验(RCT)。这些研究发表于 2018 年至 2024 年。7项研究(41%)涉及多个国家,共有45个国家参与。参与研究的女性总比例为 35.6%。仅招募 HFrEF 患者的研究中女性比例为 24.06%,仅招募 HFpEF 患者的研究中女性比例为 44.33%,同时招募 HFrEF 和 HFpEF 患者的研究中女性比例为 41.4%。有 25 项研究(58%)部分报告了种族数据。制药业资助的研究中有 76% 报告了种族数据。然而,只有 33.3% 的未获资助或非制药业资助的研究报告了种族数据。在报告种族数据的研究中,72.91%为白种人,15.48%为亚洲人,5.62%为非裔美国人,4.1%为混血或其他种族。在双变量分析中,在美国进行的研究(p <0.001)、多国研究(p = 0.013)和制药公司赞助的研究更有可能报告种族数据。与较早的研究相比,在最近发表的研究中,超过三分之一的研究参与者更可能是女性(p < 0.001)。此外,在美国进行的研究中,超过三分之一的研究参与者更可能是女性(p = 0.055)。多变量分析表明,在最近发表的研究中,超过三分之一的研究参与者为女性的几率增加(OR 1.83,95 % CI 1.06-3.17,p = 0.031),在美国进行的研究中,超过三分之一的研究参与者为女性的几率增加(OR 7.69,95 % CI 1.53-38.59,p = 0.013)。尽管多年来取得了一些进展,但还需要做更多的工作来改进数据报告,解决女性和少数种族患者参与临床试验的障碍。

Atherosclerotic plaque formation is a leading cause of arterial thrombosis that significantly impacts global health by instigating major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) like myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke. Platelets are central to this process, leading to the development of antiplatelet therapies, to mitigate MACE risks. The combination of aspirin with a potent P2Y12 inhibitor known as dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is the standard for post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) aimed at reducing ischemic events. However, DAPT’s associated bleeding risks, particularly in high bleeding risk (HBR) patients, require a balanced approach to optimize therapeutic outcomes. Recent advancements have led to the exploration of ticagrelor monotherapy as a promising strategy after short-term DAPT to reduce bleeding risks while preserving ischemic protection. This review manuscript focuses on ticagrelor monotherapy for HBR patients with discussion on optimal timing, patient selection, and treatment duration. It highlights ticagrelor’s broad efficacy in diverse patient sub-groups and outlines its superiority over aspirin (ASA) and clopidogrel monotherapies.

动脉粥样硬化斑块的形成是动脉血栓形成的主要原因,它通过引发心肌梗塞(MI)和中风等重大不良心血管事件(MACE)而对全球健康产生重大影响。血小板是这一过程的核心,因此开发了抗血小板疗法,以降低 MACE 风险。阿司匹林与强效 P2Y12 抑制剂的组合称为双重抗血小板疗法(DAPT),是经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI)后的标准疗法,旨在减少缺血性事件的发生。然而,DAPT 有相关的出血风险,尤其是对高出血风险(HBR)患者,因此需要采取平衡的方法来优化治疗效果。最近的研究进展促使人们开始探索替卡格雷单药治疗,将其作为短期 DAPT 后降低出血风险同时保持缺血保护的一种有前途的策略。本综述手稿重点介绍了针对 HBR 患者的替卡格雷单药治疗,并讨论了最佳时机、患者选择和治疗持续时间。它强调了替卡格雷在不同患者亚群中的广泛疗效,并概述了其优于阿司匹林(ASA)和氯吡格雷单一疗法的特点。TICO、TWILIGHT、GLOBAL LEADERS 和 ULTIMATE-DAPT 等试验以及文献荟萃分析证实了替卡格雷单药疗法与传统 DAPT 相比在降低死亡率和临床不良事件方面的作用。该综述支持个性化治疗方案,即先使用 DAPT,然后再使用替卡格雷单药治疗,以此作为一种平衡的方法来管理PCI后急性冠脉综合征(ACS)患者的出血和缺血风险,尤其是那些面临较高出血威胁的患者。

Background

The Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk (ARC-HBR) criteria were proposed for predicting bleeding risk in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, there is a lack of research evaluating the risk of in-hospital bleeding following PCI for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) utilizing the ARC-HBR criteria.

Methods and results

This study involved 1013 ACS patients who underwent PCI and dual antiplatelet therapy. There were 63 cases of in-hospital bleeding events (6.22 %). According to the ARC-HBR criteria, patients classified as HBR had a significantly greater bleeding rate than non-HBR patients (15.81 % vs. 1.99 %, p < 0.001). As the CRUSADE score category increased, the risk of bleeding also increased. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of the ARC-HBR criteria was significantly greater than that of the CRUSADE score for bleeding (0.751 vs. 0.696, p < 0.0001). Subgroup analysis revealed that the ARC-HBR criteria exhibited better predictive ability for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI, AUC 0.767 vs. 0.694, p = 0.020) but comparable predictive ability in patients with unstable angina (AUC 0.756 vs. 0.644, p = 0.213), non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (AUC 0.713 vs. 0.683, p = 0.644), and non-ST-segment elevation ACS (AUC 0.739 vs. 0.687, p = 0.330).

Conclusion

Compared with the CRUSADE score, the ARC-HBR criteria demonstrate superior predictive ability for in-hospital bleeding events during PCI in ACS patients. Routine assessment of the ARC-HBR score might be helpful for identifying high-risk individuals in this specific population.
背景高出血风险学术研究联盟(ARC-HBR)标准被提出用于预测经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI)患者的出血风险。然而,目前还缺乏利用 ARC-HBR 标准评估急性冠状动脉综合征(ACS)PCI 术后院内出血风险的研究。方法和结果本研究涉及 1013 例接受 PCI 和双联抗血小板治疗的 ACS 患者。共发生 63 例院内出血事件(6.22%)。根据 ARC-HBR 标准,HBR 患者的出血率明显高于非 HBR 患者(15.81 % vs. 1.99 %,p < 0.001)。随着 CRUSADE 评分类别的增加,出血风险也随之增加。在出血方面,ARC-HBR 标准的接收器操作特征曲线下面积(AUC)明显大于 CRUSADE 评分(0.751 vs. 0.696,p < 0.0001)。亚组分析显示,ARC-HBR 标准对 ST 段抬高型心肌梗死(STEMI,AUC 0.767 vs. 0.694,p = 0.020)具有更好的预测能力,但对不稳定型心绞痛(AUC 0.756 vs. 0.644,p = 0.结论与 CRUSADE 评分相比,ARC-HBR 标准对 ACS 患者 PCI 期间院内出血事件的预测能力更强。对 ARC-HBR 评分进行常规评估可能有助于识别这一特殊人群中的高危人群。

Cardiac biomarkers are a vital component within the first edition of the European Society of Cardiology guidelines in Cardio-Oncology. Specifically, they are mentioned in the definition of mild asymptomatic cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction, where left ventricular systolic function is ≥50 % with two outcomes; either a new decrease in global longitudinal strain >15 % from baseline and/or a new rise in cardiac biomarkers above the defined 99th percentile cut off values. Cardiac troponin is one such biomarker.
Many of the treatments for breast cancer have published data on cardiac dysfunction and/or cardiovascular toxicity, and such may lead to an elevation in cardiac troponin. However, there is conflicting and incomplete data regarding how to approach an elevated cardiac troponin during anti-cancer treatment, which has confounded patient care in the clinical trial setting.
We propose a novel framework to guide physicians in treatment-related elevation of cardiac troponin in the breast cancer population. Secondly, the additive role which the recommendation that cardiac troponin carries within mild asymptomatic definitions of CTRCD is the subject of great debate. We suggest a reflection on the role of biomarkers, specifically in reference to cardiac troponin.
心脏生物标志物是第一版欧洲心脏病学会心脏病肿瘤学指南的重要组成部分。具体来说,它们在轻度无症状癌症治疗相关心功能不全的定义中被提及,即左心室收缩功能≥50%,并伴有两种结果:总体纵向应变比基线下降15%和/或心脏生物标志物上升超过定义的第99百分位数临界值。心肌肌钙蛋白就是这样一种生物标志物。许多乳腺癌治疗方法都有关于心功能障碍和/或心血管毒性的公开数据,这可能会导致心肌肌钙蛋白升高。然而,在抗癌治疗期间如何处理心肌肌钙蛋白升高的问题上,存在着相互矛盾且不完整的数据,这给临床试验环境中的患者护理带来了困惑。其次,关于心肌肌钙蛋白在轻度无症状的 CTRCD 定义中的附加作用的建议引起了激烈的争论。我们建议对生物标志物的作用进行反思,特别是心肌肌钙蛋白。

Myocardial infarction (MI), a major global cause of mortality and morbidity, continues to pose a significant burden on public health. Despite advances in understanding its pathogenesis, there remains a need to elucidate the intricate molecular mechanisms underlying MI progression. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as key regulators in diverse biological processes, yet their specific roles in MI pathophysiology remain elusive. Conducting a thorough review of literature using PubMed and Google Scholar databases, we investigated the involvement of lncRNAs in MI, focusing on their regulatory functions and downstream signaling pathways. Our analysis revealed extensive dysregulation of lncRNAs in MI, impacting various biological processes through diverse mechanisms. Notably, lncRNAs act as crucial modulators of gene expression and signaling cascades, functioning as decoys, regulators, and scaffolds. Furthermore, studies identified the multifaceted roles of lncRNAs in modulating inflammation, apoptosis, autophagy, necrosis, fibrosis, remodeling, and ischemia–reperfusion injury during MI progression. Recent research highlights the pivotal contribution of lncRNAs to MI pathogenesis, offering novel insights into potential therapeutic interventions. Moreover, the identification of circulating lncRNA signatures holds promise for the development of non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers. In summary, findings underscore the significance of lncRNAs in MI pathophysiology, emphasizing their potential as therapeutic targets and diagnostic tools for improved patient management and outcomes.
心肌梗死(MI)是导致全球死亡和发病的主要原因之一,继续给公共卫生带来沉重负担。尽管人们对心肌梗死发病机理的认识取得了进展,但仍然需要阐明心肌梗死进展背后错综复杂的分子机制。长非编码 RNA(lncRNA)已成为多种生物过程中的关键调控因子,但它们在 MI 病理生理学中的具体作用仍然难以捉摸。我们利用 PubMed 和 Google Scholar 数据库对文献进行了全面回顾,研究了 lncRNA 在 MI 中的参与情况,重点关注其调控功能和下游信号通路。我们的分析表明,lncRNAs 在 MI 中广泛失调,通过不同的机制影响着各种生物过程。值得注意的是,lncRNAs 是基因表达和信号级联的关键调节因子,具有诱饵、调节因子和支架的功能。此外,研究还发现了 lncRNA 在 MI 进展过程中调节炎症、细胞凋亡、自噬、坏死、纤维化、重塑和缺血再灌注损伤的多方面作用。最近的研究强调了 lncRNA 在心肌梗死发病机制中的关键作用,为潜在的治疗干预提供了新的见解。此外,循环 lncRNA 标志的鉴定为开发非侵入性诊断生物标志物带来了希望。总之,研究结果强调了 lncRNAs 在 MI 病理生理学中的重要性,强调了它们作为治疗靶点和诊断工具的潜力,以改善患者管理和预后。

Background

The role of medical therapy for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) in subjects with end-stage renal disease receiving renal transplantation (RT) is understudied. Here, we describe post-RT HFrEF medical management practices at a single urban, academic tertiary care center.

Methods

RT recipients between January 1, 2015 and November 30, 2020 with history of ejection fraction (EF) <40 % prior to RT were included. Medications, renal function, blood pressure, cardiology follow-up, and echocardiograms ≥90d post-RT were retrospectively collected for 2 years post-RT.

Results and conclusions

47/750 (6.3 %) of RT recipients had prior HFrEF diagnosis, of whom 26 experienced improvement in EF prior to RT. Pre-RT medical therapy included beta blocker (BB) in 43 (92 %) of subjects and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone inhibitors (RAASi) in 23 (49 %). By 24 months post-RT, BB were used in 34 (76 %) and RAASi were used in 12 (27 %) of subjects. Rates of post-RT cardiology follow-up (51 %) and echocardiogram (38 %) were lower than expected in this cohort. Of 29 subjects potentially eligible for RAASi based on preserved renal function and no hyperkalemia or hypotension episodes during follow-up, only 6 (21 %) received RAASi. Of 6 subjects with post-RT EF <50 %, 4 were eligible but did not receive RAASi. Multidisciplinary collaboration between cardiology and transplant teams may help improve care for this high-risk patient population.
背景对接受肾移植(RT)的终末期肾病患者射血分数降低型心衰(HFrEF)的药物治疗作用研究不足。方法纳入 2015 年 1 月 1 日至 2020 年 11 月 30 日期间接受肾移植且接受肾移植前射血分数(EF)为 40% 的患者。结果和结论47/750(6.3%)例RT受术者之前已确诊为HFrEF,其中26例在RT前EF有所改善。43 名受试者(92%)在 RT 前接受了β受体阻滞剂(BB)治疗,23 名受试者(49%)接受了肾素-血管紧张素-醛固酮抑制剂(RAASi)治疗。手术后 24 个月内,34 名受试者(76%)使用了β受体阻滞剂,12 名受试者(27%)使用了 RAASi。在该队列中,RT 后心脏病学随访率(51%)和超声心动图检查率(38%)低于预期。在 29 名因肾功能保留且随访期间未出现高钾血症或低血压而有可能接受 RAASi 治疗的受试者中,只有 6 人(21%)接受了 RAASi 治疗。在6名RT后EF为50%的受试者中,有4人符合条件,但没有接受RAASi治疗。心脏科和移植团队之间的多学科合作可能有助于改善对这一高风险患者群体的护理。

<div><h3>Background</h3><div>There exists a robust correlation between the infiltration of immune cells and the pathogenesis of aortic dissection (AD). Moreover, blood metabolites serve as immunomodulatory agents within the organism, influencing the immune system’s response and potentially playing a role in the development of AD. Nevertheless, the intricate genetic causal nexus between specific immune cells, blood metabolites, and AD remains partially elucidated.</div></div><div><h3>Objectives</h3><div>This study aims to elucidate the causal relationships between specific immune cell types and the risk of developing AD, mediated by blood metabolites, using Mendelian Randomization (MR) methods.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>We undertook a comprehensive investigation of 731 immune cell types through the analysis of published genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Our methodology hinged on the application of two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) and mediator MR analyses, prioritizing blood metabolites as potential intermediary factors and AD as the principal outcome of interest. The primary statistical method employed was inverse variance-weighted estimation, complemented by a variety of sensitivity analyses to reinforce our conclusions. The entirety of our statistical analyses was executed on the R software platform.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Our analyses elucidated that three immune cell types exhibited a positive correlation with the incidence of AD, whereas two immune cell types were inversely associated with AD risk.

背景免疫细胞的浸润与主动脉夹层(AD)的发病机制之间存在着密切的联系。此外,血液中的代谢物可作为机体内的免疫调节剂,影响免疫系统的反应,并可能在主动脉夹层的发病中发挥作用。本研究旨在利用孟德尔随机化(Mendelian Randomization,MR)方法,阐明血液代谢物介导的特定免疫细胞类型与AD发病风险之间的因果关系。方法我们通过分析已发表的全基因组关联研究(GWAS),对731种免疫细胞类型进行了全面调查。我们的方法主要是应用双样本孟德尔随机化(MR)和中介MR分析,将血液代谢物作为潜在的中介因素,将AD作为主要的研究结果。我们采用的主要统计方法是反方差加权估计法,并辅以各种敏感性分析来强化我们的结论。我们的所有统计分析都是在 R 软件平台上进行的。结果我们的分析表明,三种免疫细胞类型与 AD 发病率呈正相关,而两种免疫细胞类型与 AD 风险呈反相关。值得注意的是,我们的调解孟德尔随机化(MR)研究结果发现,苯甲酸盐是影响 IgD - CD38br 细胞的 CD19 对 AD 影响的关键调解因子,调解比例为 5.38%。此外,N-乙酰脯氨酸被确定为CD24对IgD- CD38-细胞对AD影响的中介因子,其中介比例为13.70%。此外,还发现肉碱 C5:1 能介导 CD28 对分泌 T 调节(Treg)细胞对 AD 的影响,介导比例为 17.80%。结论这些研究结果让人们对 AD 的病理生理机制有了细致入微的了解,从而推进了 AD 临床治疗中的精准医学范式:缩写:AD:主动脉夹层;AA:主动脉瘤;GWAS:全基因组关联研究;MR:孟德尔随机化;TSMR:两步孟德尔随机化;Treg:分泌型 T 调节细胞;VSMC:血管平滑肌细胞;MMP:基质金属蛋白酶;ROS:活性氧;IV:工具变量;SNP:单核苷酸多态性;IVW:反方差加权;LDSC:连锁不平衡得分回归;OR:几率比;CI:置信区间;LD:连锁不平衡;AC:绝对细胞;MFI:中位荧光强度;MP:形态参数;RC:相对细胞;CLSA:加拿大老龄化纵向研究;Lp(a):Lp(a):脂蛋白 a;OxPL:氧化磷脂;NMDAR:N-甲基-d-天冬氨酸谷氨酸受体;STROBE-MR:利用孟德尔随机化加强流行病学中观察性研究的报告。

Moreover, blood metabolites serve as immunomodulatory agents within the organism, influencing the immune system’s response and potentially playing a role in the development of AD. Nevertheless, the intricate genetic causal nexus between specific immune cells, blood metabolites, and AD remains partially elucidated.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Objectives&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;This study aims to elucidate the causal relationships between specific immune cell types and the risk of developing AD, mediated by blood metabolites, using Mendelian Randomization (MR) methods.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Methods&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;We undertook a comprehensive investigation of 731 immune cell types through the analysis of published genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Our methodology hinged on the application of two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) and mediator MR analyses, prioritizing blood metabolites as potential intermediary factors and AD as the principal outcome of interest. The primary statistical method employed was inverse variance-weighted estimation, complemented by a variety of sensitivity analyses to reinforce our conclusions. The entirety of our statistical analyses was executed on the R software platform.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Results&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;Our analyses elucidated that three immune cell types exhibited a positive correlation with the incidence of AD, whereas two immune cell types were inversely associated with AD risk.
