2007, Journal of AutoimmunityCitation Excerpt :Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory process resulting in angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and cerebral infarction [1,2]. Persistent infectious pathogens such as Chlamydia pneumoniae, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Cytomegalovirus (CMV) cause immune responses in their host and promote the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis [3–6]. Among the immune responses, the heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) of pathogen-origin may mainly contribute to atherogenesis [7–9].
Metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and atherosclerosis in Japanese type 2 diabetic patients
2007, Metabolism: Clinical and ExperimentalCitation Excerpt :Along with ultrasonographically measured carotid atherosclerosis, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (ba-PWV) and ankle brachial index (ABI) were used to assess the degree of atherosclerosis. A carotid sonography was performed with high-resolution B-mode scanning equipment (Logic 500 GE Yokogawa, Milwaukee, WI) with a 7.5-MHz sector scanner probe [24]. The common carotid arteries of both sides were examined with longitudinal and transverse scans because we could not analyze the internal and external carotid arteries fully in all patients.
Leptin, triglycerides, and interleukin 6 are independently associated with C-reactive protein in Japanese type 2 diabetic patients
2007, Diabetes Research and Clinical PracticeCitation Excerpt :Saremi et al. [24] recently reported that among subclinical infections, periodontal disease is one of the most important risk factors for the death caused by cardiorenal disease in type 2 diabetic patients. Using IgG titer against Porphyromonas gingivalis, we previously showed that periodontal disease is associated with carotid atherosclerosis and albuminuria in Japanese type 2 diabetic patients [25,26]. Carotid atherosclerosis and albuminuria are both considered being one of the important markers for the future development of CHD in type 2 diabetic patients.
