The results showed that cerebrovascular risk factors were more prevalent in case group than in control group. In the case group, FMPF was significantly higher than in control group. There was a significant positive correlation between hypertension and fibrin monomer polymerization velocity (FMPV), hypertension and fibrinogen (Fbg), alcohol consumption and Fbg, but no significant correlation between diabetic mellitus, smoking and FMPF was found. Among the parameters of blood lipids, there were significant positive correlations between total cholesterol (TC) and parameters of FMPF to varying degrees, triglycerides (TG) and FMPV, TG and Fbg. Our results also showed there were significant linear trends between TC and FMPV (P<0. 001), TC and Fbg (P=0. 0087), TG and FMPV/Amax (maximum absorbance)(P=0. 0143) respectively. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that FMPF in case group remained significantly higher than control group after adjustment of all risk factors that were significant in univariate analysis. It was concluded that there is a possible pathophysiological link between FMPF and cerebrovascular risk factors. An elevated FMPF is associated with ischemic cerebrovascular disease and an independent risk factor of this disease. In old people, detection of FMPF might be a useful screening to identify individuals at increased cerebrothrombotic risk.展开更多

Stroke, a type of cerebrovascular disease, caused by sudden loss of blood flow to parts of the brain, is the world’s second-leading cause of death and third-leading cause of disability. It is critical to analyze risk factors to prevent cerebrovascular disease. Data and Methods: The risk factors for cerebrovascular disease were analyzed using data from 2,678,054 medical checkups obtained from the JMDC Claims Database. Logit models were used, and the odds ratio (OR) and confidence interval (CI) were calculated. The sample period was from January 2005 to September 2019. Results: Age and heart disease history were very important nonmodifiable factors. The OR comparing persons aged 70 to those aged 50 was 2.05 with a 95% CI of 1.92 - 2.05. A heart disease history was also an especially important factor (OR 2.29, 95% CI 2.18 - 2.41). Among the modifiable factors, triglyceride level and recent large weight change were very important factors, changing the risk of cerebrovascular disease by about 30%. Other significant modifiable factors were diastolic blood pressure, urine protein, having breakfast, walking ability and smoking;each of these changed the risk of cerebrovascular disease by about 10%. Taking medications to control hypertension, hyperglycemia and hypercholesterolemia respectively increased the risk of cerebrovascular disease. In particular, taking antihypertensive medications nearly doubled the risk (OR 1.93, 95% CI 1.86 - 2.00). Conclusion: It is very important for individuals with risk factors to improve their physical conditions to prevent cerebrovascular disease. Taking medications to control blood pressure, glucose level, and cholesterol might introduce risks for cerebrovascular disease. Since all medications have side effects, it is necessary to carefully manage the use of these medications to minimize the negative side effects. Limitations: The dataset was observatory. There were no experimental interventions. Further, the dataset contains only information of Japanese individuals, and the results might differ in other countries. As the data comprised claims from employment-based health insurance, the dataset includes no subjects aged 76 or over and relatively few aged 70 - 75. We need to analyze data of other countries and elderly people.展开更多

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 333 patients who were admitted with diagnosis as a CAD and candidates for angioplasty in Imam Khomeini hospital, Ahvaz city, Iran 2011. The prevalence of different risk factors was determined using descriptive statistics. Results: The prevalence of CAD risk factors in overall subjects were: 1) 45.3% hypertension (considering >140/90 mmHg);2) 34.5% high cholesterol (>240 mg/dl);3) 27.6% diabetic mellitus (>126 mg/dL);4) family history of heart disease: 20.7%;5) smokers: 19.9%. Conclusion: This data have shown the prevalence of IHD (Ischemic Heart Disease) risk factors specially about hypertension in patients with IHD was high, so could require urgent decision making to national control program of non-communicable diseases in Iran.展开更多

Hypoxia-inducible factor 1, a heterodimeric DNA-binding protein, is composed of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α and hypoxia-inducible factor 1βsubunits, which are family members of the basic helix-loop-helix-PER, ARNT, SIM (PAS) protein. O2 concentration regulates hypoxia-inducible factor 1 activity via this subunit. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1α plays a major role in response to hypoxia and transcriptional activation, as well as in the target gene specificity of the DNA enhancer. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1β cannot be induced by hypoxia. This effect may be due to hypoxia-inducible factor 1 stability and activated conformation due to dimerization. Previous studies have shown that hypoxia-inducible factor 1 mRNA expression increases in the penumbra following ischemia/hypoxia. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 plays an important role in brain tissue injury after ischemia by affecting a series of target genes, elevating tolerance to hypoxia, and ensuring survival of neural cells. This article summarizes the structure, function, expression, regulatory mechanisms, biological effects, and significance of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease. As a transcriptional activator, hypoxia- inducible factor 1 plays a key role in hypoxic responses by stabilizing the internal environment. It also has been shown to regulate the expression of several genes. The regulatory effects of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease have been described. The present review re-examined the concept of brain protection at the level of gene regulation.展开更多

Based on the Danish Health Interview Survey 2005 (SUSY), a sample of 10,983 persons aged 35 years or older was examined. Data was collected through personal interviews (response rate = 66.7%) and self-administered questionnaires (51.5%). The sample was divided into three mutual exclusive groups: IHD;other chronic illnesses;and no chronic illness. The prevalence of IHD was 5.6% (5.2 - 6.0). The disease was more common in men than women, and the average age was 67.5 years. People with self-reported IHD were characterized as having poorer health behaviors;more risk factors: 40% smokers, 21% sedentary lifestyle, 26% obese;higher utilization of the health-care services;and poorer HRQoL. When compared to people with other chronic diseases, people with IHD continued to show the same characteristics. The IHD group had more problems affecting their daily lives than the other two groups. The issues that affected the people with IHD have also been shown to increase the load on the health-care system. Therefore, it is important to the patients, health-care, and society that the prevalence of IHD is reduced and the burden of disease is made a priority.展开更多

文摘Background:Understanding the changing profiles of cardiovascular disease(CVD)and modifiable risk factors is essential for CVD prevention and control.We aimed to report the comprehensive trends in CVD and risk factors in China from 1990 to 2019.Methods:Data on the incidence,death,and disability-adjusted life years(DALYs)of total CVD and its 11 subtypes for China were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019.The CVD burden attributable to 12 risk factors was also retrieved.A secondary analysis was conducted to summarize the leading causes of CVD burden and attributable risk factors.Results:From 1990 to 2019,the number of CVD incidence,death,and DALYs considerably increased by 132.8%,89.1%,and 52.6%,respectively.Stroke,ischemic heart disease,and hypertensive heart disease accounted for over 95.0%of CVD deaths in 2019 and remained the top three causes during the past 30 years.Between 1990 and 2019,the age-standardized rate of stroke decreased significantly(percentage of decreased incidence:-9.3%;death:-39.8%;DALYs:-41.6%),while the rate of ischemic heart disease increased(percentage of increased incidence:11.5%;death:17.6%;DALYs:2.2%).High systolic blood pressure,unhealthy diet,tobacco,and air pollution continued to be the major contributors to CVD deaths and DALYs(attributing to over 70%of the CVD burden),and the high body mass index(BMI)-associated CVD burden had the largest increase between 1990 and 2019.Conclusions:The significant increases in the number of CVD incident cases,deaths,and DALYs suggest that the CVD burden is still a concern.Intensified strategies and policies are needed to maintain promising progress in stroke and to reduce the escalating burden of ischemic heart disease.The CVD burden attributable to risk factors has not yet made adequate achievements;even worse,high BMI has contributed to the increasing CVD burden.
文摘目的评估癌症、心脑血管疾病、糖尿病及慢性呼吸系统疾病(以下简称“四大慢病”)的主要危险因素及相关危险因素暴露的疾病负担。方法本研究数据来源于2019年全球疾病负担研究(Global Burden of Disease Study,GBD)数据库,通过获取2019年我国居民四大慢病的死亡病例数和伤残调整寿命年(disability-adjusted life years,DALYs),分析四大慢病归因于相关危险因素暴露的比例。结果烟草暴露是造成恶性肿瘤疾病负担最主要的危险因素,导致的DALYs占比达31.4%;心脑血管疾病的首要危险因素是高收缩压,导致的DALYs占比达55.6%。四大慢病的共同危险因素有烟草暴露、空气污染和高身体质量指数,其中烟草暴露在恶性肿瘤和慢性呼吸系统疾病中归因风险比例最高,饮食相关危险因素、饮酒和体力活动不足与恶性肿瘤、心脑血管疾病及糖尿病密切相关。对主要恶性肿瘤疾病负担的归因分析结果显示,烟草暴露归因风险比例最高的是肺癌,其次是食管癌、胃癌、肝癌及结直肠癌。结论烟草暴露、空气污染和高身体质量指数是我国居民癌症等四大慢病的共同危险因素,能为四大慢病高风险人群筛选提供重要依据。
