Metabolic cardiovascular diseases have become a global health concern, and some of their risk factors are linked to several metabolic disorders. They are the leading causes of death in developing countries. Adipose tissues secrete a variety of adipokines that participate in regulating metabolism and various pathophysiological processes. Adiponectin is the most abundant pleiotropic adipokine and can increase insulin sensitivity, improve atherosclerosis, have anti-inflammatory properties, and exert a cardioprotective effect. Low adiponectin concentrations are correlated with myocardial infarction, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, hypertrophy, hypertension, and other metabolic cardiovascular dysfunctions. However, the relationship between adiponectin and cardiovascular diseases is complex, and the specific mechanism of action is not fully understood. Our summary and analysis of these issues are expected to contribute to future treatment options.

Atherosclerotic vascular changes can begin during childhood, providing risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in adulthood. Identifiable risk factors such as dyslipidemia accelerate this process for some children. The apolipoprotein B (APOB) gene could help explain the inter-individual variability in lipid levels among young individuals and identify groups that require greater attention to prevent CVD.

This study aims to investigate the relationship between the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) and all-cause mortality as well as cardiovascular mortality in arthritis patients. Additionally, it seeks to analyze the nonlinear characteristics and threshold effects of TyG index. We included 5,559 adult participants with arthritis from the 1999-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

In previous work we discovered that T lymphocytes play a prominent role in the rise of brain metastases of ER-negative breast cancers. In the present study we explored how T lymphocytes promote breast cancer cell penetration through the blood brain barrier (BBB). An in vitro BBB model was employed to study the effects of T lymphocytes on BBB trespassing capacity of three different breast carcinoma cell lines.

Although antiretroviral therapy (ART) has dramatically improved the outlook of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, people living with HIV (PLWH) on suppressive therapy are still at higher risk for a range of comorbidities including cardiovascular disease (CVD) and HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND), among others. Chronic inflammation and immune activation are thought to be an underlying cause of these comorbidities. Many of the factors thought to drive chronic inflammation and immune activation in HIV overlap with factors known to induce trained immunity.
