Diabetic foot disease with a global incidence of about 6% is one of the most serious complications of diabetes, which brings great pain and economic burden to patients.In China, the incidence rate is 8.1%, and the amputation rate is 7.3%. Every year, more than 1 million diabetic patients have amputations, ranking first among non-traumatic amputations.According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), the incidence of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) in diabetic patients is twice that of non-diabetic patients, and the resulting lower limb ischemia is the main cause of the high mortality and disability rate of diabetic foot.According to the International Working Group on Diabetic Foot (IWGDF), about 50% patients with diabetic foot disease are complicated with PAD, and the degree of vascular stenosis is closely related to the prognosis.Severe limb ischemia is a higher cause of diabetic foot ulcer in China than in western countries.Atherosclerosis is the main pathological change of diabetic peripheral artery disease, and endothelial injury is the initial link of atherosclerosis.Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a kind of important heat stress protein, which accounts for about 2-3% of the total protein in cells.It is involved in the correct folding and activation of intracellular proteins.Although Hsp90 is primarily involved in intracellular protective mechanisms, they can also be exposed to the plasma membrane and released in the extracellular space, resulting in detectable levels of Hsp90 in the blood.Extracellular heat shock proteins are involved in cell-cell communication as well as immune and inflammatory processes.Hsp90 promotes cell survival, migration, inflammation and angiogenesis, and is therefore considered a promising target for cancer therapy.This led to the development of specific HSP90 inhibitors.More recently, these inhibitors have also been tested in diabetic animals.The use of the HSP90 inhibitor 17-DMAG significantly reduced atherosclerotic lesions and induced a more stable plaque phenotype in a mouse model with hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia.Hsp90 is upregulated in human carotid atherosclerotic plaques (especially in unstable areas of plaques) and in patients' serums, triggering autoimmune antibodies against Hsp90 in patients.Is HSP90 also present in serum of patients with diabetic peripheral arterial disease?Is there a relationship between secretory heat shock protein 90 and arterial disease?The study that HSP90 may be involved in the molecular mechanism of vascular endothelial barrier function impairment in diabetes will provide a new target for the early serological diagnosis and treatment of diabetic vascular disease.The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the degree of vascular disease and serum heat shock protein 90 in patients with type 2 diabetes.The study was divided into three groups: diabetic without PAD group, diabetic with PAD group and diabetic foot group.According to the degree of peripheral artery disease, the patients were divided into three groups, and the content of heat shock protein 90 in serum of the patients was detected.To analyze the correlation between the degree of peripheral arterial disease and the content of heat shock protein 90 in serum.
This is a retrospective, multi-center study to assess the safety and performance by proactively reviewing pre-existing medical records and imaging of patients who had previous placement of FLUENCY® PLUS Vascular Stent Graft in iliac artery vessel(s) between January 2010 and March 2020.
Registry to describe the impact in terms of effectiveness and safety of the combination treatment of rivaroxaban 2.5 mg twice daily with aspirin on clinical outcomes and practices in a real-life Dutch patient population that are at high risk of ischemic events.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of conducting a randomised controlled trial (RCT) comparing brief psychological intervention to help patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD), reduce cardiovascular risk factors compared to control/treatment as usual in a vascular outpatient clinic. Trial feasibility was defined as the successful recruitment and retention of participants, adherence to the intervention, identification of barriers to the intervention and collection of clinical and quality of life outcome data. Qualitative data was collected to evaluate participant experience and the clinical impact of a supported self-management intervention delivered in a routine clinical setting.
Introduction: Atherosclerotic Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is the leading cause of mortality in the western world. To maintain homeostasis of the vessel wall, vascular cells produce a high level of heat shock proteins (HSP), among which is Hsp70, to stimulate innate immunity and face stress. Methods: This is a clinical trial where 260 individuals were evaluated by a screening test employing the Ankle-Arm Index (ABI), 220 of them were not within risk value (0.91 to 0.99 mmHg). In the clinical trial, 32 individuals were included. A control group and an experimental group were formed. Aerobic exercise intervention was performed for 12 weeks. The level of Hsp70 was evaluated, physical and clinical measurements were applied at the beginning and at the end of the trial.
Background: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) a condition characterized by atherosclerotic occlusive disease of the lower extremities is commonly observed in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, particularly those on dialysis. The investigators conducted detailed biomarkers such as thrombospondin and related inflammatory biomarkers for the risk of developing and presence of PAD. Thrombospondin-4 (TSP-4) is an extracellular matrix protein of the vessel wall. Despite bench evidence, its significance in the clinical setting of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is missing Methods: This is a cross-sectional, single-center study. A cohort of 450 patients aged 20 or over, who have been on HD for at least 3 months prior to enrollment (Dec 1, 2021) will be included. TSP-4 and TSP-1 will be measured in HD patients using a commercially available ELISA. PAD is diagnosed by the ankle-brachial index (ABI) We will measure related blood biomarkers such as serum hs-cTnT, N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide, s-Klotho and FABP-4.
