Arteriosclerosis

Arteriosclerosis is a general term for several diseases in which the arterial wall thickens and loses elasticty, commonly referred to as hardening of the arteries.
This condition can lead to decreased blood flow and increased risk of cardiovascular events like heart attack and stroke.

Blood pressure trajectories were modeled among all 4,681 CARDIA participants with BP measured at 3 or more exams. Only 3,442 participants with CAC data available at year 25 were included in the models examining the association between blood pressure and CAC >100. We used latent class models to identify subgroups within the CARDIA cohort that share a similar underlying trajectory in BP. These models were fit using SAS Proc Traj.25 -27 (link) See statistical appendix for more details on the trajectory modeling process. In order to estimate the association of trajectory group on subclinical atherosclerosis, trajectory group membership was included as an independent variable in a logistic regression model examining predictors of the presence of CAC Agatston score ≥ 100 at Exam Year 25. The adjusted model included baseline age, race, sex, highest level of education, antihypertensive medication use at each exam, mg/dL of total cholesterol per year, cumulative number of years with diabetes, cumulative number of years as a current smoker, and BMI at both baseline and Y25. As in other studies, in order to account for the uncertainty in BP trajectory group assignment the posterior probability of group membership we generated 20 multiple imputations of trajectory membership using the posterior probabilities.28 (link) We then fit the logistic regression model for each of the 20 data sets and combined our results across the multiple imputations. Model calibration was examined using the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of fit chi-square statistic. We compared the predictive utility of trajectory group as compared to other longitudinal BP measures (single baseline BP measurements, multiple BP measurements [baseline and Y25] and cumulative BP [mm Hg × years]) using the logistic C-statistic and the discrimination (D statistic)29 of the models for each of these BP measures individually and jointly. The D-statistic represents the difference in the average of event probabilities between the groups which experience the event and those who do not. The Wilcoxon test was used to detect significant location shifts and differences in the distributions of the predicted event probabilities. In order to quantify how the model reclassifies individuals with the addition of trajectory group, we calculated the Integrated Discrimination Improvement (IDI) index by calculating the difference in the D-statistics (discrimination slopes) between the models including only baseline BP or year 25 BP and those including trajectory group. All analyses were completed in SAS version 9.3. P-values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.

The contributing studies were (1) Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC); (2) The Center for Oral Health in Appalachia cohort 1 (COHRA1), which is part of the GENEVA caries consortium; (3) the Dental Registry and DNA Repository of the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine, (DRDR), also part of the GENEVA caries consortium; (4) the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL); (5) the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study (MDC); 6) the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 (NFBC 1966); (7) the Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP), (8) the Study of Health in Pomerania Trend (SHIP Trend); (9) TWINGENE, which is a genotyped epidemiological study recruited from the Swedish Twin Registry (TWINGENE); (10) the Women’s Genome Health Study (WGHS); (11) Biobank Japan (BBJ) and (12) Tokyo Medical and Dental University Aggressive Periodontitis Study (TMDUAGP). A detailed description of each study is included in (Supplementary Data 1 and 2).
In nine studies, analysis was conducted in individuals of European ancestry (ARIC, COHRA1, DRDR, MDC, NFBC1966, SHIP, SHIP-TREND, TWINGENE and WGHS). In one study (HCHS/SOL), participants were recruited from Hispanic and Latino communities in the USA, who self-reported ancestry from six broad groups (Cuban, Dominican, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Central American and South American). To undertake analyses within this highly admixed population, a bespoke modelling approach was undertaken. Multi-dimensional clustering was used to generate genetic analysis groups containing participants of similar ancestry. These group allocations were then used as covariates in a linear mixed model (partitioned to only fit the proportion of genetic structure due to familial relatedness rather than ancestry) alongside the first five genetic principal components, study center and log-transformed sampling weights53 (link). Subsequently, the results from HCHS/SOL were treated as a study of European ancestry and included in the primary meta-analysis.
For periodontitis only, there were two studies with participants of East Asian ancestry (BBJ, TMDUAGP), totalling 17,287 participants. For periodontitis, separate meta-analyses were performed for studies of European ancestry and studies of East Asian ancestry.

Male apolipoprotein B100-only, low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLr) deficient (LDLr-/-Apob100/100) mice were used in this study. These mice were chosen based on previous reports documenting their “human-like” lipoprotein profile,20 (link) atherosclerosis susceptibility,20 (link) and responsiveness to dietary fatty acids.21 (link) All mice were on a mixed background (∼75% C57BL/6 and ∼25% 129Sv/Jae). At 6 weeks of age, the mice were switched from a diet of rodent chow to one of two synthetic diets containing 12% of energy as saturated fatty acid (SFA)-enriched fat (palm oil) or monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA)-enriched fat (oleinate-enriched safflower oil) with 0.1% (w/w) cholesterol added. Please refer to Supplemental Table 1 (online) for complete analysis of dietary fatty acid composition. In conjunction with diet, mice were injected biweekly with either saline, 25 mg/kg of a non-targeting ASO (control ASO; 5 ′- TCCCATTTCAGGAGACCTGG -3′), or 25 mg/kg of an ASO targeting the knockdown of SCD1 (SCD1 ASO; 5′-GCTCTAATCACCTCAGAACT -3′). These phosphorothioate modified ASO compounds were generously provided by ISIS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Carlsbad, CA). Body weight was measured weekly, and food intake was measured at four weeks and eight weeks of diet/ASO treatment. All experimental animals were sacrificed after 20 weeks of parallel dietary and ASO treatment. All mice were maintained in a pathogen-free animal facility, and experimental protocols were approved by the institutional animal care and use committee at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine.

A needle-core biopsy sample of the kidney cortex was obtained during the transplantation surgery. The tissue specimen was fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin. Two consecutive 3-μm sections were stained (one with periodic acid–Schiff and one with Masson’s trichrome) and scanned into high-resolution digital images (Aperio XT System scanner). The inclusion criteria for all the biopsy sections were that they could not contain an artifact that severely distorted microstructures, they had to have an area with at least 2 mm2 of cortex, and they had to have at least four glomeruli.
Specific measurements of nephron size were the mean nonsclerotic glomerular volume and the mean cross-sectional tubular area (Fig. 1). Specific measurements of nephrosclerosis were glomerulosclerosis (globally sclerosed glomeruli in ≥10% of all glomeruli), interstitial fibrosis (fibrosis and tubular atrophy of >5% of the cortex), and arteriosclerosis (intimal thickening of >50% of an artery lumen within the biopsy sample) (Fig. 1). The total number of nephrons was calculated as the density of nonsclerotic glomeruli in the biopsy sample times the cortical volume of both kidneys and rounded to the nearest 10,000 nephrons. The single-nephron GFR was then calculated as the total GFR divided by the calculated total number of nephrons (see the Detailed Methods section in the Supplementary Appendix, available with the full text of this article at NEJM.org).

The physical activity questionnaire developed for the Japan Arteriosclerosis Longitudinal Study (JALSPAQ) was used in this study.6 ,7 (link) This questionnaire comprises 14 questions on occupation, locomotion, housework, sleep time, and leisure-time physical activities. In this questionnaire, occupational work was assessed as duration of sitting, standing, walking, and heavy work. Heavy work was defined as lifting more than 10 kg or manual labor of similar intensity. Leisure-time physical activity was assessed by type, duration, and frequency. Questionnaire data were converted to the intensity of each physical activity expressed in metabolic equivalents (METs), according to the Compendium by Ainsworth et al, and summarized as METs·h/day and energy expenditure.14 (link) In the present study, we used TEE per day, METs·h/day, and PAL as indices of physical activity level from JALSPAQ. Duration of light (<3 METs), moderate (3–5.9 METs), and vigorous (≥6 METs) physical activities was calculated for all physical activities (including occupational activity, housework, and leisure-time physical activity), as well as for leisure-time physical activity only. Working time, including occupational and housework time, was divided into the duration of sitting (<2 METs), standing (2 to <3 METs), walking (3 to <6 METs), and heavy work (≥6 METs), including housework. We calculated the durations of occupational activity and housework together because their frequencies and durations were quite complicated.

All the data were divided into two categories: continuous variables and categorical data. The measurement data are expressed as the mean ± SD or median [interquartile range (IQR)]. Categorical data are expressed as the number (percentage). Continuous variables were analyzed using Student t test, and categorical variables were analyzed using chi-squared or Fisher exact test. To estimate the coagulation dysfunction of AKI and malignant events, odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs were calculated with univariable analysis and multivariable adjustments in the following models to reduce the effect of known possible confounders: model 1—adjusted for age, gender, acute aortic dissention (Stanford classification), smoking history, drinking history, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and comorbidities (including hypertension, Marfan syndrome, heart surgery history, arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease, aortic valve disease, and diabetes mellitus type 2); model 2—adjusted model 1 + murmur in the aortic valve auscultation area, organ or limb ischemia, hypotensive shock, number of renal arteries involved, aneurysm on imaging, ulcer of the aorta, and aortic intermural hematoma; and model 3—adjusted model 2 + white blood cell count.
In addition, propensity score matching (PSM), using nearest-neighbor matching (1:1) within a caliper width of 0.02 SD without replacement, was performed between the coagulation dysfunction groups based on the estimated propensity scores. Furthermore, to confirm the robustness of the results, PSM was performed on the same results as a sensitivity analysis.
To further clarify the contribution rate of each coagulation indicator, chi-squared or Fisher exact test was used to compare the dysfunction of each coagulation indicator across the different prognosis groups. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was then used to evaluate the value of each coagulative indicator and ACS for predicting the in-hospital AKI and malignant events.
Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS version 27.0 and PASS version 15. A two-sided P value of <0.05 was considered to denote the presence of a statistically significant difference.
