Editorial on hemoglobin A1c, blood pressure, and lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol goals in diabetics

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) 2013 guidelines state that a reasonable hemoglobin A1c goal for many nonpregnant adults with diabetes is less than 7.0% a hemoglobin A1c level of less than 6.5% may be considered in adults with short duration of diabetes, long life expectancy, and no significant cardiovascular disease if this can be achieved without significant hypoglycemia or other adverse effects of treatment. A hemoglobin A1c level less than 8.0% may be appropriate for patients with a history of severe hypoglycemia, limited life expectancy, advanced macrovascular and microvascular complications, extensive comorbidities, and long-standing diabetes in whom the hemoglobin A1c goal is difficult to attain despite multiple glucoselowering drugs including insulin. The ADA 2013 guidelines recommend that the systolic blood pressure in most diabetics with hypertension should be reduced to less than 140 mmHg. These guidelines also recommend use of an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker in the treatment of hypertension in diabetics unless they are pregnant. Diabetics at high risk for cardiovascular events should have theirserum low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol lowered to less than 70 mg/dL with statins. Lower-risk diabetics should have their serum LDL cholesterol reduced to less than 100 mg/dL. Combination therapy of a statin with either a fibrate or niacin has not been shown to provide additional cardiovascular benefit above statin therapy alone and is not recommended. Hypertriglyceridemia should be treated with dietary and lifestyle changes. Severe hypertriglyceridemia should be treated with drug therapy to reduce the risk of acute pancreatitis.

Higher testosterone levels are associated with increased highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol in men with cardiovascular disease： results from the Massachusetts Male Aging Study

Aim： To study the relationship between circulating androgens （total testosterone [TT], free testosterone [IT] and dihydrotestosterone [DHT]） and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C） in men with and without cardiovascular disease （CVD）. Methods： Cross-sectional analyses included 1 661 baseline samples from the Massachusetts Male Aging Study （MMAS）, a population-based cohort of men ages 40-70 years. Serum hormones were measured by radioimmunoassay and HDL-C was determined following precipitation of the lower density lipoproteins. CVD was determined by self-report. Analyses were performed using multiple linear regression. Results： TT and HDL-C were positively correlated in the entire sample （r = 0.11, P = 0.0001）. After adjusting for confounders, we found this relationship was mostly limited to the 209 men with CVD. Among men with CVD, TT （P = 0.0004）, iT （P = 0.0172） and DHT （P = 0.0128） were all positively correlated with HDL-C, whereas in men without CVD only TT correlated with HDL-C （P = 0.0099）. Conclusion： Our results suggest that if androgens contribute to CVD in middle-aged men, the effect is not related to a suppressive effect of endogenous T on HDL-C. （Asian JAndrol 2008 Mar; 10： 193-200）

High-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and In-hospital Mortality in Patients with Acute Aortic Dissection

The association between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol（HDL-C） and mortality in patients with acute aortic dissection（AAD） is unclear. From January 2007 to January 2014, a total of 928 consecutive AAD patients who were admitted within 48 h after the onset of symptoms were enrolled in the study. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether serum HDL-C level was below the normal lower limit or not. The Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to identify the predictive value of HDL-C for in-hospital mortality in patients with AAD. As compared with normal HDL-C group（n=585）, low HDL-C group（n=343） had lower levels of systolic blood pressure and hemoglobin and higher levels of leukocyte, alanine aminotransferase, blood glucose, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine and urea acid. Low HDL-C group had significantly higher in-hospital mortality than normal HDL-C group（21.6% vs. 12.6%, log-rank=10.869, P=0.001）. After adjustment for baseline variables including demographics and biologic data, the increased risk of in-hospital mortality in low HDL-C group was substantially attenuated and showed no significant difference（adjusted hazard ratio, 1.23; 95% confidence interval, 0.86–1.77; P=0.259）. Low HDL-C is strongly but not independently associated with in-hospital mortality in patients with AAD.

A Possible Mechanism Linking Hyperglycemia and Reduced High-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Levels in Diabetes

This study investigated the role of glucose in the biogenesis of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C).Mouse primary peritoneal macrophages were harvested and maintained in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium(DMEM) containing glucose of various concentrations.The cells were divided into 3 groups in terms of different glucose concentrations in the cultures:Control group(5.6 mmol/L glucose),high glucose concentration groups(16.7 mmol/L and 30 mmol/L glucose).ATP-binding cassette transporter A1(ABCA1) mRNA expression in the macrophages was detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR 24,48 and 72 h after glucose treatment.The results showed that ABCA1 mRNA expression in the 16.7 mmol/L glucose group was not significantly different from that in the control group at all testing time points(P>0.05 for each).In the 30 mmol/L glucose group,macrophage ABCA1 mRNA expression was not changed significantly at 24 h(P=0.14),but was substantially decreased by 40.4% at 48 h(P=0.009) and by 48.1% at 72 h(P=0.015) as compared with that in the control group.It was concluded that ABCA1 is of vital importance for HDL-C biogenesis.High glucose may hamper HDL-C biogenesis by decreasing ABCA1 expression,which contributes to low HDL-C level in diabetes.

High Density Lipoprotein Phospholipids as a Marker of Coronary Heart Disease of Shen-Yang Deficiency Syndrome

Objective: To seek a new biochemical index for diagnosis of coronary heart disease (CHD) of shen-Yang deficiency syndrom (CHD-SYD). Methods: Sixty-one patients with CHD were divided into 3 groups according to their TCM Syndrome type, 10 patients in the group without Xin-Qi deficiency (Group A), 25 in the group with Xin-Qi deficiency but without Shen-Yang deficiency (Group B) and 26 in the group both with Xin-Qi deficiency and Shen-Yang deficiency (Group C). Levels of 17-hydroxy-corticoste-roid in urine (urinary 17-OHCS) per 24 hrs, and serum level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and high density lipoprotein phospholipid (HDL-PL) in them were determined in synchrostep and compared with those in the control group of 23 healthy aged persons, urinary 17-OHCS per 24 hrs was taken as the diagnostic standard to screen a new index for diagnosis of Shen-Yang deficiency Syndrome, and preliminary appraisal to the index was made. Results: Serum HDL-PL in the CHD-SYD patients( Group C) was 616+157 mg/L, which was obviously lower than that in the patients of Group A and B. With low HDL-PL(<650 mg/L) used as the index to diagnose CHD-SYD, the sensitivity was 73%, the specificity 86% and the accuracy 80%. Conclusion: HDL-PL <650 mg/L could be adopted as an index for CHD-SYD diagnosis, which is simple and practical.

An Analysis of Health Factors Affecting Employees’ Absenteeism: Influences of HDL Cholesterol and Blood Sugar Levels

Background: Workers’ health condition is an important issue. It affects not only the well-being of workers but also the firms and society as a whole through medical costs and productivity losses due to absenteeism and presenteeism. Data and Methods: Data were obtained from 1136 employees at an operational site of a large corporation. The dataset contained both medical checkups and working record information. Health factors affecting long-term absence (over three days in three months) were analyzed. Logistic regression models and the procedure for selecting proper covariates based on likelihood test statistics and the Akaike information criterion were used. Results: Among health factors, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and blood sugar levels were important in the selected model. For HDL-C, the odds ratio (OR) based on one standard deviation difference was 0.75 with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 0.59 - 0.95. For blood sugar, the OR was 1.20 with a 95% CI of 1.01 - 1.42. Improving HDL-C and blood sugar levels would reduce long-term absence by 25% and 20%, respectively. Conclusion: Controlling HDL-C and blood sugar levels is important to reduce long-term absenteeism. These factors can be improved by modifying eating habits. Since the operational site has its own company cafeterias, which most employees use, nutritional intervention is relatively easy with little or no cost. It may be worthwhile to implement nutritional intervention, especially for patients with low HDL-C or high blood sugar levels. Limitations: The results of this study were based on one operational site of a corporation. The employees were mainly operators working inside the building. The results may be different from other types of jobs and working conditions, such as fieldwork. Analyses of different types of jobs and working conditions are necessary.

Research progress of monocyte/high density lipoprotein ratio in cardiovascular diseases

In recent years,monocyte to high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio(MHR)has attracted wide attention as a new marker of inflammatory response.This indicator includes two aspects:inflammatory response and lipid accumulation,which are the two most basic characteristics of Atherosclerosis(AS).AS is closely related to the occurrence of Cardiovascular diseases(CVD).A large number of existing studies have confirmed that MHR is an inflammatory marker that can dynamically reflect the trend of inflammation,can reflect the chronic inflammatory response in blood vessels,and can evaluate the occurrence,development and prognosis of cardiovascular disease in a non-invasive manner.This article reviews recent studies on the role of monocytes and high-density lipoproteins in chronic inflammation of blood vessels,as well as the current status of research on MHR and cardiovascular disease in the light of recent literature.

Lipoprotein in cholesterol transport: Highlights and recent insights into its structural basis and functional mechanism

Lipoproteins are protein-lipid macromolecular assemblies which are used to transport lipids in circulation and are key targets in cardiovascular disease （CVD）. The highly dynamic lipoprotein molecules are capable of adopting an array of conformations that is crucial to lipid transport along the cholesterol transport pathway, among which high-density lipopro- tein （HDL） and low-density lipoprotein （LDL） are major players in plasma cholesterol metabolism. For a more detailed illustration of cholesterol transport process, as well as the development of therapies to prevent CVD, here we review the functional mechanism and structural basis of lipoproteins in cholesterol transport, as well as their structural dynamics in the plasma lipoprotein （HDL and LDL） elevations, in order to obtain better quantitative understandings on structure-function relationship of lipoproteins. Finally, we also provide an approach for further research on the lipoprotein in cholesterol transport.

High-density lipoprotein endocytosis in endothelial cells

AIM: To describe the way stations of high-density lipoprotein(HDL) uptake and its lipid exchange in endothelial cells in vitro and in vivo. METHODS: A combination of fluorescence microscopy using novel fluorescent cholesterol surrogates and electron microscopy was used to analyze HDL endocytosis in great detail in primary human endothelial cells. Further, HDL uptake was quantified using radio-labeled HDL particles. To validate the in vitro findings mice were injected with fluorescently labeled HDL and particle uptake in the liver was analyzed using fluorescencemicroscopy. RESULTS: HDL uptake occurred via clathrin-coated pits, tubular endosomes and multivesicular bodies in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. During uptake and resecretion, HDL-derived cholesterol was exchanged at a faster rate than cholesteryl oleate, resembling the HDL particle pathway seen in hepatic cells. In addition, lysosomes were not involved in this process and thus HDL degradation was not detectable. In vivo, we found HDL mainly localized in mouse hepatic endothelial cells. HDL was not detected in parenchymal liver cells, indicating that lipid transfer from HDL to hepatocytes occurs primarily via scavenger receptor, class B, type Ⅰ mediated selective uptake without concomitant HDL endocytosis. CONCLUSION: HDL endocytosis occurs via clathrincoated pits, tubular endosomes and multivesicular bodies in human endothelial cells. Mouse endothelial cells showed a similar HDL uptake pattern in vivo indicating that the endothelium is one major site of HDL endocytosis and transcytosis.

BDNF和HDL-C与老年帕金森病患者脑白质病变的关系

目的探讨血清脑源性神经营养因子(BDNF)和高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)与老年帕金森病(PD)患者脑白质病变(WML)的关系。方法筛选116例老年PD患者为研究组,依据Fazckas分级分成PD-WML组和PD组,另选取同期人口学资料匹配的40例健康体检者为对照组。比较不同组别的相关资料,应用多因素Logistic分析PD患者WML的影响因素,受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线分析血清BDNF、HDL-C与PD患者WML的关系。结果116例PD患者WML发生率为72.41%(84/116),Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ级分别43、30、11例。PD-WML组年龄、高血压患病率、统一帕金森病评定量表Ⅲ(UPDRS-Ⅲ)评分均高于PD组(P<0.05),血清BDNF[(4.83±1.15)μg/L比(6.12±1.20)μg/L]、TC[(4.37±0.96)mmol/L比(4.84±1.04)mmol/L]和HDL-C[(1.07±0.29)mmol/L比(1.23±0.32)mmol/L]明显低于PD组(P<0.05)。年龄、高血压、BDNF和HDL-C是PD患者发生WML的独立影响因素(P<0.05)。对照组、PD组、WML轻度组(Ⅰ级)、WML中重度组(Ⅱ~Ⅲ级)血清BDNF、HDL-C均呈依次下降趋势(P<0.05),WML中重度组血清BDNF、HDL-C水平均明显低于WML轻度组(P<0.05)。血清BDNF、HDL-C以及联合诊断PD患者发生WML的曲线下面积(AUC)为0.834、0.768、0.899,单独诊断的截断值分别为5.70μg/L、1.15 mmol/L。血清BDNF、HDL-C以及联合诊断PD发生中重度WML的AUC为0.820、0.766、0.833,单独诊断的截断值分别为4.79μg/L、1.02 mmol/L。结论血清BDNF、HDL-C是PD患者发生WML的保护因素,可有效预测PD患者发生WML和评估病情严重程度。

我国中老年人群血清尿酸/高密度脂蛋白胆固醇比值与代谢综合征的相关性研究

背景我国中老年人群代谢综合征(MS)患病率逐年攀升,血清尿酸(SUA)/高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)比值(UHR)与多种代谢性疾病密切相关,但在中老年人群中,关于UHR与MS关联的研究较少。目的探讨中国中老年人群UHR与MS之间的相关性,并评估UHR对MS的预测价值。方法本研究采用2015年中国健康与养老追踪调查(CHARLS)公开数据,纳入9233名研究对象。收集研究对象一般资料、体格检查指标和血生化检查指标。计算研究对象UHR。依据是否患有MS将研究对象分为非MS组(n=7006)与MS组(n=2227),同时按UHR四分位数水平将研究对象分为Q1组(UHR≤7.32%,n=2308)、Q2组(7.32%12.20%,n=2308)。采用Pearson相关性分析探究UHR与代谢指标的相关性;采用多因素Logistic回归分析探讨UHR与MS的关系。分别绘制总体和不同性别研究对象UHR预测MS发生风险的受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线并计算ROC曲线下面积(AUC)。结果研究对象平均年龄(60.3±9.6)岁,MS组女性比例、年龄、城镇比例、高血压史比例、糖尿病史比例、血脂异常史比例、服用降脂药比例、糖化血红蛋白、C反应蛋白、三酰甘油(TG)、总胆固醇(TC)、空腹血糖(FPG)、SUA、收缩压(SBP)、舒张压(DBP)、BMI、腰围(WC)、UHR高于非MS组,HDL-C、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)、估算的肾小球滤过率(eGFR)低于非MS组,两组受教育程度、吸烟情况、饮酒情况比较,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。随着UHR水平的上升,Q1~Q4组MS、中心性肥胖、高血糖、高血压、高TG血症、低HDL-C血症检出率呈上升趋势(P_(趋势)<0.01);Q1~Q4组BMI、WC、SBP、DBP、TG、HDL-C、LDL-C、TC、FPG、eGFR、C反应蛋白水平比较,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.01)。Pearson相关性分析结果显示,UHR与TG、FPG、DBP、SBP、BMI、WC均呈正相关(P<0.01),与HDL-C呈负相关(P<0.01)。按性别分层后,男性、女性UHR与TG、FPG、DBP、SBP、BMI、WC均呈正相关(P<0.01),与HDL-C呈负相关(P<0.01)。多因素Logistic回归分析结果显示,与Q1组相比,男性Q4组(OR=3.385,95%CI=1.778~6.444,P<0.01)和女性Q4组(OR=2.886,95%CI=1.991~4.184,P<0.01)MS患病风险增加。ROC曲线分析结果显示,研究对象UHR预测MS的AUC为0.735(95%CI=0.723~0.746),男性群体UHR预测MS的AUC为0.773(95%CI=0.757~0.790),女性群体UHR预测MS的AUC为0.750(95%CI=0.735~0.766)。结论中国中老年人群UHR水平与MS呈正向关联,UHR与MS及其组分密切相关,UHR可能是MS的危险因素且对中老年群体MS发生风险有良好的预测价值。
