HDACs are a family of enzymes to balance the acetylation activities of histone acetyltransferases on chromatin remodeling and play essential roles in regulating gene transcription. To date, 18 mammalian HDACs are identified and grouped into four classes based on similarity to yeast orthologs. The zinc-dependent HDAC family currently consists of 11 members divided into three classes （class I, II, and IV） on the basis of structure, sequence homology, and domain organization. In comparison, class III HDACs （also known as the sirtuins） are composed of a family of NAD＋-dependent protein-modifying enzymes related to the Sir2 gene. HDAC inhibitors are a group of compounds that block HDAC activities typically by binding to the zinc-containing catalytic domain of HDACs and have displayed an- ti-inflammatory and antifibrotic effects in the cardio-cerebrovascular system. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge about classifications, functions of HDACs and their roles and regulatory mechanisms in the cardio-cerebrovascular system. Pharmacological tar- geting of HDAC-mediated epigenetic processes may open new therapeutic avenues for the treatment of CCVD.展开更多

Methods This study enrolled 5154 participants. By excluding subjects with hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, kidney diseases, and overweight condition, as well as those with an estimated glomerular filtration rate （eGFR）（60 ml/（min· 1.73 m^2）, apparently healthy subjects （1168） were selected. Urine albumin was measured by using the immunoturbidimetic method, serum creatinine was measured by using Jaffe＇s kinetic method on a morning spot-urine sample, and ACR was calculated. The 95th percentile of ACR in the healthy subjects was used as the normal upper limit. Results The normal upper limit of ACR was 28.71 mg/g （3.25 mg/retool） for males and 31.85 mg/g （3.60 rag/retool） for females. Based on this ACR reference value, the age-gender standardized prevalence of albuminuria in the rural areas of Hebei province was 12.9%. Conclusion The ACR reference value in the rural of Hebei province is higher than that of the Western population.展开更多

Interest in women and aging is of particular interest partly as a result of gender specific responses to aging, particularly as a result of menopause. It is possible that the onset of menopause may augment the physiological decline associated with aging and inactivity. More so, a higher incidence of metabolic syndrome （an accumulation of cardiovascular disease risk factors including obesity, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high blood pressure, and high fasting glucose） has been shown in middle-aged women during the postmenopausal period. This is due in part to the drastic changes in body composition, as previously discussed, but also a change in physical activity （PA） levels. Sarcopenia is an age related decrease in the cross-sectional area of skeletal muscle fibers that consequently leads to a decline in physical function, gait speed, balance, coordination, decreased BMD, and quality of life. PA plays an essential role in combating physiological decline associated with aging. Maintenance of adequate levels of PA can result in increased longevity and a reduced risk for metabolic disease along with other chronic diseases. The aim of this paper is to review relevant literature, examine current PA guidelines, and provide recom- mendations specific to women based on current research.展开更多

The Naoxintong Capsule, a modern patent traditional Chinese medicine, is composed of Huangqi, Danshen, Quanxie, Shuizhi and other sixteen herbs. It is extensively used to treat coronary heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, with the activity of anti-coagulation, anti-inflammatory, protecting endothelial cells, anti-atherogenic and plaque stabilization.展开更多
