Summary: This study found that elevated remnant cholesterol is associated with a higher risk of hypertension in the Chinese population, especially among individuals with diabetes. However, with ideal management of remnant cholesterol, glucose, and other cardiovascular risk factors, the risk of hypertension can be minimized for diabetic patients.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the association between dynamic smoking habit change and cardiovascular risk in a population newly diagnosed with hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. The results showed that worsening of smoking habits was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events and death.

Summary: This study identified 6 susceptibility loci and positional candidate genes for CVDs in HTN, DM, and DL patients using an unprecedented study design. One locus (17q25.3) was commonly associated with CAD. These associations warrant validation in additional studies for potential therapeutic applications.

Summary: This study evaluated the relationship between breakfast and sleep timing on cardiovascular disease risk factors. The study found that the combination of skipping breakfast and late sleep timing was associated with a higher prevalence of MetS, particularly in men. Additionally, there were differences in the relationship between breakfast and sleep timing on CVD risk factors by sex and age group.

Summary: This paper reviewed the shared molecular pathways between adult-onset AD, VRF, and NVUd/BBBb, finding that VRF and NVUd/BBBb are involved in neurovascular and neurodegenerative pathology of AD and share several molecular pathways. Early detection and correction of VRF and vascular disease by improving NVUd/BBBd could be a potential target to reduce the overall incidence and delay cognitive impairment in AD.

Summary: The study found that exposure to ECIG, HTP, and CS increased lung edema and inflammatory cells in diabetic mice, with a more significant expression of inflammatory mediators, increased reactive oxygen species, and enhanced cellular apoptosis. Additionally, significant albumin leakage was observed in both diabetic and non-diabetic mice exposed to HTP. CS exposure exacerbated lung injury in diabetic mice compared to non-diabetic mice.

Summary: APOA1 and APOB are structural proteins of different types of lipoproteins, regulating the levels of triglyceride and cholesterol. Among the smaller APOCs, APOC3 has been studied extensively and is associated with cardiovascular and kidney diseases in type 1 diabetes. Insulin deficiency and resistance are related to elevated APOC3 levels. APOC3 slows down the clearance of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, leading to the accumulation of atherogenic remnants in atherosclerosis lesions. Little is known about the roles of APOC1, APOC2, and APOC4 in diabetes.

Summary: Obesity is a chronic condition caused by an imbalance between energy consumption and expenditure. It is associated with premature mortality and contributes to a significant portion of chronic diseases worldwide. Lifestyle changes and dietary adjustments are the main strategies for managing obesity, but medication may be necessary in some cases. However, drug options are limited due to potential side effects, highlighting the need for safe and effective alternative treatments.
