Diabetic coronary heart disease is a global medical problem that poses a serious threat to human health, and its pathogenesis is complex and interconnected. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is an important small molecule used in the body that serves as a coenzyme in redox reactions and as a substrate for non-redox processes. NAD levels are highly controlled by various pathways, and increasing evidence has shown that NAD pathways, including NAD precursors and key enzymes involved in NAD synthesis and catabolism, exert both positive and negative effects on the pathogenesis of diabetic coronary heart disease. Thus, the mechanisms by which the NAD pathway acts in diabetic coronary heart disease require further investigation. This review first briefly introduces the current understanding of the intertwined pathological mechanisms of diabetic coronary heart disease, including insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and intestinal flora dysbiosis. Then, we mainly review the relationships between NAD pathways, such as nicotinic acid, tryptophan, the kynurenine pathway, nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase, and sirtuins, and the pathogenic mechanisms of diabetic coronary heart disease. Moreover, we discuss the potential of targeting NAD pathways in the prevention and treatment of diabetic coronary heart disease, which may provide important strategies to modulate its progression.

Background: Lately, numerous researches have portrayed stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) is predominantly connected with short-term adverse prognosis among individuals who have acute coronary syndrome. Nevertheless, the relation of SHR with prolonged effects and the value of SHR in predicting in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with or lacking chronic kidney disease (CKD) remain unclear. The present study was designed to elucidate the relation of SHR with prolonged prognosis and the value of SHR in predicting the long-term all-cause and cardiovascular death of CAD patients with CKD or non-CKD.

Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 was found first in Wuhan and declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Coinfection with other respiratory viruses may occur, complicating the diagnosis and treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 . Herein, we identified a Karolinska Institute polyomavirus Stockholm 60 present in a nasopharyngeal swab of a patient with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection using next-generation sequencing with an enrichment method.

A high-fat diet and physical inactivity are key contributors to obesity, predisposing individuals to various chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, which involve multiple organs and tissues. To better understand the role of multi-organ interaction mechanisms in the rising incidence of obesity and its associated chronic conditions, treatment and prevention strategies are being extensively investigated. This review examines the signaling mechanisms between different tissues and organs, with a particular focus on the crosstalk between adipose tissue and the muscle, brain, liver, and heart, and potentially offers new strategies for the treatment and management of obesity and its complications.

Background: Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is associated with high cardiovascular risk. Thyroid volume has a notable dispersion of values in these patients. This study aims to clarify the association between thyroid antibodies, thyroid morphology, insulin resistance, and lipid profile in patients with HT.

Background: Low-grade systemic inflammation has been reported in many psychiatric diseases and is described as a non-severe state of the inflammatory response. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a chronic psychiatric disorder characterized by symptoms of avoidance, re-experiencing and hyperarousal that develop secondary to a serious traumatic event. The trauma itself creates psychological and biological changes in the individual, apart from PTSD.
