Uric acid (UA) concentration within carotid plaque and its association with cerebrovascular events have not been detected or quantified. Systemically, serum UA is a marker of inflammation risk factor for atherosclerosis. However, instability stroke pathogenesis remains unclear. In patients undergoing endarterectomy, we aimed to determine whether present differentially in symptomatic versus asymptomatic plaques associated symptoms (stroke, transient ischemic attack, amaurosis fugax).Carotid atherosclerotic were collected during endarterectomy. The presence was assessed using Gomori methenamine silver staining as well anti-UA immunohistochemical quantity measured an enzymatic colorimetric assay. Clinical information obtained through retrospective review data.UA more commonly (n=23) compared (n=9) by (20 [86.9%] 2 [22.2%]; P=0.001) immunohistochemistry (16 [69.5%] 1 [11.1%]; P=0.004). higher rather than (25.1 [9.5] 17.9 [3.8] µg/g; P=0.021). Before levels (n=341) (n=146) (5.9 [interquartile range, 4.6-6.9] mg/dL 5.2 4.6-6.2] mg/dL; P=0.009).The current study supports potential role tissue participant systemic biomarker the may provide mechanistic explanation subsequent events.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of global mortality and their pathogenesis lies mainly in atherosclerotic process. There close connections linking oxidative stress inflammation to endothelial dysfunction, atherosclerosis and, consequently, CVD. This review focuses on role xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) its products development chronic stress, responsible for atheromatous plaque formation. Evidence is reported that an excessive level XOR favors inflammatory response development, thereby promoting major cardiovascular risk factors. Also, relationship between hyperuricemia hypertension as well activity CVD confirmed. In spite increasing number clinical studies investigating output patients treated with urate-lowering therapies (including uricosuric drugs, inhibitors recombinant uricase) results still uncertain. The inhibition appears more promising than just control uricemia preventing events, possibly because it also reduces intracellular accumulation urate, production reactive oxygen species. However, availability multifaced mediator nitric oxide at present, can be recommended only hyperuricemic patients.

Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and hyperuricaemia are both characterised by systemic inflammation. Preventing chronic diseases among the population with common metabolic abnormality is an effective strategy. However, association of higher incidence risk COPD remains controversial. Therefore, replicated researches in populations distinct characteristics or demographics compellingly warranted. Methods This cohort study adopted a design ambispective hospital-based cohort. We used propensity score matching (PSM) inverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW) to minimise effects potential confounding factors. A Cox regression model restricted cubic spline (RCS) were applied further assess effect serum urate on developing COPD. Finally, we conducted two-sample Mendelian randomisation (MR) analysis explore evidence causal association. Results There compared normal (22.29/1000 person-years vs 8.89/1000 person-years, p=0.009). result robust after performing PSM (p=0.013) IPTW (p<0.001). The confirms that associated (adjusted HR=3.35 95% CI=1.61 6.96). Moreover, RCS shows rapidly increases concentration when it than reference (420 µmol/L). MR analysis, variance weighted method evidences significant (OR=1.153, CI=1.034 1.289) likely be true. finding repeated using different methods sensitivity analysis.

Abstract Uric acid crystal is known to activate the NLRP3 inflammasome and cause tissue damages, which can result in many diseases, such as gout, chronic renal injury myocardial damage. Meanwhile, soluble uric (sUA), before forming crystals, also related these diseases. This study was carried out investigate whether sUA could cardiomyocytes analyse mechanisms. The cardiomyocyte activity monitored, along with levels of mature IL‐1β caspase‐1 from H9c2 cells following stimulus. We found that able inflammasome, responsible for cell apoptosis induced by sUA. By elevating TLR6 then activating NF‐κB/p65 signal pathway, promoted NLRP3, pro‐caspase 1 pro‐IL‐1β production provided first activation. ROS regulated UCP2 contributed assembly subsequent caspase activation secretion. In addition, tlr6 knockdown rats suffering hyperuricemia showed lower level an ameliorative cardiac function. These findings suggest activates they may provide one therapeutic strategy damage
