"In this volume, international experts in the field discuss the pathogenetic, diagnostic, preventive and possible therapeutic relevance of inflammation in atherogenesis. This book is intended for researchers and physicians in the fields of vascular biology, immunology and atherosclerosis."

"Latar belakang : Inflamasi pada hemodialisis (HD) berhubungan dengan terjadinya kontak darah dengan membran dialisis, cairan dialisat, akses vaskuler dan infeksi. Peningkatan sitokin pro-inflamasi berperan penting terhadap terjadinya aterosklerosis selain itu inflamasi berakibat anoreksia dan kondisi hiperkatabolik yang menyebabkan malnutrisi. Keadaan ini disebut sebagai Sindrom Malnutrisi-Inflamasi-Aterosklerosis. Karakteristik HD di Indonesia berbeda dengan negara maju, perbedaan tersebut terkait penggunaan dialyzer pakai ulang dan tipe low-flux, belum menggunakan dialisat ultrapure dan dosis HD yang tidak adekuat.Tujuan : Melihat beda rerata antara Skor-MI, hsCRP dan sTNFR-1 pada pasien HD yang mengalami aterosklerosis dan yang tidak aterosklerosis.Metode Penelitian : Desain studi potong lintang pada pasien HD yang dalam keadaan stabil yang sudah menjalani HD antara 3 bulan sampai 5 tahun di RSUP Fatmawati. Jumlah subyek 60 orang yang dikumpulkan dalam kurun waktu Desember 2013 sampai dengan Februari 2014. Pemeriksaan hsCRP dan sTNFR-1 sebagai biomarker inflamasi, untuk menentukan status nutrisi menggunakan skor malnutrisi-inflamasi(Skor-MI) dan pemeriksaan USG doppler arteri Karotis untuk menentukan penebalan intima-media(CIMT). Analisis statistik dengan uji T dan uji Mann-Whitney.Hasil : Penelitian ini menunjukkan Skor-MI pada kelompok yang CIMT positif (aterosklerosis) memiliki nilai median lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan kelompok yang non aterosklerosis (7 vs 5). Sedangkan kadar sTNFR-1 memiliki nilai median CIMT positif (3.48) lebih rendah dibandingkan CIMT negatif (12,126 vs 11,657). Kadar hsCRP pada kelompok CIMT positif memiliki nilai rata-rata lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan kelompok dengan CIMT yang negatif (3.48 vs 5.32). Dari ketiga variabel tersebut tidak ada beda rerata (p>0,05).Kesimpulan : Tidak terdapat beda rerata antara Skor-MI, hsCRP dan sTNFR-1 pada pasien HD yang mengalami aterosklerosis dan yang tidak aterosklerosis.

Background: Inflammation in hemodialysis is associated with blood contact with dialysis membrane, dialysate solution, vascular access and infection. Increment of pro-inflammatory cytokine plays important role in atherosclerosis development. Inflammation also causes anorexia and hypercatabolism state leading to malnutrition. This condition is called malnutrition-inflammation-atherosclerosis syndrome. Hemodialysis characteristics in Indonesia is different with those in developed countries. Those differences are associated with reuse dialyzer, low flux hemodialysis, inadequate dose of hemodialysis, and unavailability of ultrapure dialysate.Aim: To determine the mean difference between MI score, hsCRP and sTNFR-1 in hemodyalisis patients with atherosclerosis and non-atherosclerosis.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study which has involved hemodialysis patients who underwent HD between 3 months to 5 years in Fatmawati Central Hospital. There are 60 subjects collected from December 2013 until February 2014. hsCRP and soluble TNFR-1 were used as inflammation biomarker, MI score was used to assess nutritional status. and carotid doppler ultrasonography was used to assess carotid intima media thickness. This study used T-test and Mann-Whitney for statistical analysis.Results: Median score for malnutrition-inflammation score in atherosclerotic group is higher than non atherosclerotic group (7 vs 5), while the median sTNFR-1 in atherosclerotic group is lower than non atherosclerotic group (12,126 vs 11,657). Mean hsCRP in atherosclerotic group is higher than non atherosclerotic group (3.48 vs 5.32). There are no mean differences of all those three variables (p>0.05).Conclusion: No mean differences between MI-score, hsCRP, and sTNFR-1 with atherosclerotic and non-atherosclerotic in HD patients."

"Adi Haber's thesis summarises the use of a new entity, the corrole, to combat one of the major cardiovascular diseases, atherosclerosis. She examines the effects of three rationally designed corrole-metal complexes on some of the many variables which contribute to the development of atherosclerosis. There is a focus on both the "bad" and "good" cholesterol carriers, LDL and HDL. Adi Haber proceeds from basic findings in pure chemistry through biochemical and cell culture tests to in vivo examinations. The work in this thesis shows that corroles are highly efficient both for early and late treatment of atherosclerosis in animals. These results will pave the way for ongoing regulated preclinical studies focussed on the development of metallocorroles as potential drugs for treating cardiovascular diseases."

Finally, it deals with the application of IVUS, TCD and carotid plaque characterization in clinical practice and in stroke risk stratification. "

"Kondisi hipertiroidisme berkorelasi dengan kejadian atherosclerosis cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Hal ini dapat terjadi melalui jalur resistensi insulin, metabolisme lipid, dan inflamasi yang dapat menyebabkan disfungsi endotel. Sebaliknya, pemberian obat antitiroid seperti propiltiourasil (PTU) atau metimazol memiliki potensi untuk memperbaiki disfungsi endotel yang terjadi. PTU memiliki keunggulan dibandingkan metimazol dalam hal menghambat migrasi dan proliferasi otot polos vaskular. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari peran hormon tiroid dan pengobatannya pada pasien Graves terhadap penanda dini aterosklerosis.Studi ini merupakan uji klinis tersamar tunggal yang dilakukan di RSUPN Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo (RSCM) pada pasien Graves baru yang diberikan PTU atau metimazol selama 3 bulan. Kedua kelompok diperiksakan HOMA-IR,LDL-R, NF-kB, sICAM-1, sVCAM-1 dan sE-selektin serta pulse wave velocity (PWV) dan carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) saat sebelum terapi, setelah terapi 1 bulan dan 3 bulan. Dilakukan uji Pearson atau Spearman untuk menilai korelasi antar variabel. Perubahan variabel dalam 3 bulan dinilai dengan uji repeated ANOVA. Perbedaan pada kelompok PTU dan metimazol dinilai dengan uji general linear model.Selama bulan Juli 2019 hingga Agustus 2020, didapatkan 36 pasien Graves baru. Pada uji korelasi didapatkan konsentrasi T4 bebas berkorelasi dengan sICAM-1(r = 0,41; p = 0,013) dan sVCAM-1 (r = 0,458; p = 0,005), begitu juga T3 total berkorelasi dengan sICAM-1 (r = 0,513; p = 0,001) dan sVCAM-1 (r = 0,567;p < 0,001). Pada tindak lanjut 3 bulan, didapatkan 24 subjek (13 kelompok PTU dan 11 kelompok metimazol) yang menyelesaikan pemeriksaan dan mencapai eutiroid. Pada kelompok PTU, didapatkan penurunan LDL-R (p = 0,017),sICAM-1 (p = 0,001), sVCAM-1 (p < 0,001) dan sE-selektin (p = 0,045). Pada kelompok metimazol terjadi penurunan hanya pada LDL-R (p = 0,011) dan sVCAM-1 (p = 0,001). Namun pada perbandingan kedua kelompok tidak berbeda bermakna. Parameter PWV dan cIMT juga tidak berbeda bermakna.Simpulan: Pada penelitian ini kondisi hipertiroid pasien Graves berkorelasi dengan peningkatan sICAM-1 dan sVCAM-1 sebagai penyebab aterosklerosis. Pemberian obat antitiroid dapat menurunkan LDL-R, sICAM-1, sVCAM-1 dan sE-selektin. PTU memiliki mekanisme yang berbeda dari metimazol dalam patofisiologi aterosklerosis. Akan tetapi, belum didapatkan bukti pada perubahan PWV dan cIMT

Hyperthyroidism is correlated with atherosclerosis cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). The basic mechanisms are through insulin resistance, lipid metabolism, and inflammation resulted in endothelial dysfunction. On the other hand, antithyroid drugs such as propiltiourasil (PTU) or methimazole have the potential to improve the endothelial dysfunction. PTU is believed to have a better profile than methimazole in reducing smooth muscle cells migration and proliferation. This study aims to investigate the effect of thyroid hormone and its treatment in Graves’ disease to early marker of atherosclerosis.

This study is a single-blinded clinical trial conducted in dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital (RSCM) to newly diagnosed Graves’ patient treated with PTU or methimazole for 3 months. Both groups were examined for LDL-R, NF-ĸB, sICAM-1, sVCAM-1, sE-selectin, pulse wave velocity (PWV) and carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) at baseline, after 1 month and 3 months treatment. Pearson or Spearman test was done to analyze correlation between tested variables. Repeated ANOVA test was done to analyze the changes in those variables during 3 months treatment. Difference between PTU and methimazole groups was analyzed with general linear model test.

From July 2019 to August 2020, 36 newly diagnosed Graves’ patients were included in the study. Correlation test showed free T4 concentration correlated to sICAM-1 (r = 0.41; p = 0.013) and sVCAM-1 (r = 0.458; p = 0.005), and total T3 also correlated to sICAM-1 (r = 0.513; p = 0.001) and sVCAM-1 (r = 0.567; p < 0.001). After 3 months follow up, 24 subjects (13 from PTU group and 11 from methimazole group) reached euthyroid state and included in the analysis. In PTU group, we found reduction in LDL-R (p = 0.017), sICAM-1 (p = 0.001),

sVCAM-1 (p < 0.001) and sE-selectin (p = 0.045). While in methimazole groups, we only found reduction in LDL-R (p = 0.011) and sVCAM-1 (p = 0.001). However, after comparing both groups, the differences were not statistically significant. We found no significant changes in PWV and cIMT parameter.

In conclusions, this study found that hyperthyroidism in Graves’ patient correlated with increase in sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1, which are the early markers of atherosclerosis. Antithyroid drugs can lower LDL-R, sICAM-1, sVCAM-1 and sE-selectin. PTU had a different mechanism in pathophysiology of atherosclerosis compared to methimazole. However, we found no evidence in PWV and cIMT changes"

"he interaction of immune function and nutrition underlies the low-grade chronic inflammation involved in the etiology of many common obesity-associated and age-related chronic disease conditions. This close interaction is the genesis of the term immunonutrition, which represents a new interdisciplinary field of nutritional and medical research. Immunonutrition: Interactions of Diet, Genetics, and Inflammation introduces the breadth of this field, which implicates nutrition in both immune function and in the etiology, prevention, and treatment of common diseases influenced by inflammation and immune imbalance, including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, asthma, autoimmune diseases, and common forms of cance"

"Atherosclerosis is a degenerative disease of large and medium arteries which loss their elasticity and the arterial walls are thickened which may cause coronary heart disease. Atherosclerosis is related to hyperlipidemia and concentration of serum lipoprotein cholesterol which are influenced by the intake of certain dietary lipids. The polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), particularly linoleic acid is believed to have a lowering effect, saturated fatty acid (SAFA) increase, and mono-unsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) is neutral or has no effect on serum triglyceride that PUFA especially when given ia a large amount besides HDL-c. MUFA seems to have a similar effect as PUFA but without lowering effect on HDL-c. Low LDL-c and high HDL-c levels have positive effect on preventing and curing atherosclerosis and contrary of high LDL-c and low HDL-c.In this study, 60 albino, 2 month old male rats were put in separate cages and divides randomly into 6 groups. Each group received proportionally the first phase diet rich in margarine (40% of total energy) and cholesterol (10% w/w) for 3 months with additional oralforced feeding of proplythiouracil treated with the second phase diet with additional different types of fat source. The control group receieved normal diet. Determination of serum TG, total cholesterol, LDL-c, HDL-c and microscopic pathological examination of the aorta were carried out after treatment with the first and second phase diets.Analysis of variance showed that there were significant differences in serum TG, total cholesterol and LDL-c levels, the amount of diet consumed and the body weight changes between the treatment serum TG, total cholesterol and LDL-c as peanut oil. Serum HDL-c appeared not to be influenced by the different types of dietary fat. Pathological examination did not reveal any identifiable atherosclerosis signs in the aorta of the rats."
