    Abstract: It is unclear whether patients with different stroke/transient ischemic attack etiologies benefit differently from gene-directed dual antiplatelet therapy. This study explored the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor-aspirin versus clopidogrel-aspirin in transient ischemic attack or minor stroke with different causes in the CHANCE-2 trial (Clopidogrel in High-Risk Patients With Acute Nondisabling Cerebrovascular Events-II). METHODS: This was a prespecified analysis of the CHANCE-2 trial, which enrolled 6412 patients with minor stroke or transient ischemic attack who carried CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles. Patients with centralized evaluation of TOAST (Trial of ORG 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment) classification of large-artery atherosclerosis, small-vessel occlusion, and stroke of undetermined cause were included. The primary efficacy outcome was new stroke, and the primary safety outcome was severe or moderate bleeding, both within 90 days. Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the interaction of TOAST classification with the effects of dual antiplatelet therapy with ticagrelor-aspirin versus clopidogrel-aspirin. RESULTS: A total of 6336 patients were included in this study. In patients administered ticagrelor-aspirin and clopidogrel-aspirin, respectively, stroke recurred in 85 (9.8%) and 88 (10.7%) patients with large-artery atherosclerosis (hazard ratio, 0.86 [95% CI, 0.63–1.18]; P =0.34); 32 (3.6%) and 61 (7.0%) patients with small-vessel occlusion (hazard ratio, 0.51 [95% CI, 0.33–0.79]; P =0.002); and 68 (4.8%) and 87 (5.9%) patients with stroke of undetermined cause (hazard ratio, 0.80 [95% CI, 0.58–1.10]; P =0.17), with P =0.08 for the treatment×cause subtype interaction effect. There were no significant differences in severe or moderate bleeding events in patients with different cause and different treatment. CONCLUSIONS: In this prespecified analysis of the CHANCE-2 trial, the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor-aspirin versus clopidogrel-aspirin in preventing new stroke were consistent in patients with different causes. The influence of stroke cause on benefit of gene-guided antiplatelet therapy should be explored by further trials. REGISTRATION: URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov ; Unique identifier: NCT04078737.

    Abstract: Data are limited on the association of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) with systemic atherosclerosis. This study aimed to examine the relationship between MAFLD and the extent of atherosclerotic plaques and stenosis, and presence of polyvascular disease (PolyVD). Methods In this cross-sectional study, MAFLD was diagnosed based on the presence of metabolic dysfunction (MD) and fatty liver disease (FLD). MAFLD was divided into three subtypes: MAFLD with diabetes mellitus (DM), MAFLD with overweight or obesity (OW), as well as MAFLD with lean/normal weight and at least two metabolic abnormalities. Atherosclerosis was evaluated, with vascular magnetic resonance imaging for intracranial and extracranial arteries, thoracoabdominal computed tomography angiography for coronary, subclavian, aorta, renal, iliofemoral arteries, and ankle-brachial index for peripheral arteries. The extent of plaques and stenosis was defined according to the number of these eight vascular sites affected. PolyVD was defined as the presence of stenosis in at least two vascular sites. Results This study included 3047 participants, with the mean age of 61.2 ± 6.7 years and 46.6% of male (n = 1420). After adjusting for potential confounders, MAFLD was associated with higher extent of plaques (cOR, 2.14, 95% CI 1.85–2.48) and stenosis (cOR, 1.47, 95% CI 1.26–1.71), and higher odds of presence of PolyVD (OR, 1.55, 95% CI 1.24–1.94) as compared with Non-MAFLD. In addition, DM-MAFLD and OW-MAFLD were associated with the extent of atherosclerotic plaques and stenosis, and presence of PolyVD (All P   〈  0.05). However, lean-MAFLD was only associated with the extent of atherosclerotic plaques (cOR, 1.63, 95% CI 1.14–2.34). As one component of MAFLD, FLD per se was associated with the extent of plaques and stenosis in participants with MAFLD. Furthermore, FLD interacted with MD to increase the odds of presence of systemic atherosclerosis ( P for interaction ≤ 0.055). Conclusions MAFLD and its subtypes of DM-MAFLD and OW-MAFLD were associated with the extent of atherosclerotic plaques and stenosis, and presence of PolyVD. This study implicated that FLD might be a potential target of intervention for reducing the deleterious effects of MAFLD on systemic atherosclerosis.

    Abstract: Background: We aimed to examine the association between adipose tissue specific insulin resistance and atherosclerotic burden and plaques in intracranial, extracranial, and coronary arteries in community residents without diabetes. Methods: Adipose tissue specific insulin resistance index (Adipo-IR) was calculated by fasting serum insulin and free fatty acids and categorized into 4 groups according to the quartiles. The 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner was used to assess intracranial and extracranial atherosclerotic plaques, while computed tomography angiography (CTA) was used to assess coronary atherosclerotic plaques. Intracranial, extracranial, and coronary atherosclerotic burden was assessed by segmental stenosis segment scores of the corresponding arterial segments, respectively. Binary and ordinal logistic regression models were utilized to investigate the relationship of Adipo-IR with the presence of atherosclerotic plaques and atherosclerotic burden. Results: Of 2719 participants (mean [SD] age, 60.9 [6.6] years; 1441 [53.0%] women), the prevalence of intracranial atherosclerotic plaques, extracranial atherosclerotic plaques, and coronary plaques were 432(15.9%), 975(35.9%), and 1160 (42.7%), respectively. Compared with individuals with the lowest quartile, participants with the fourth quartile of the Adipo-IR were associated with intracranial atherosclerotic burden (common odds ratio [cOR] : 1.35; 95% CI: 0.99-1.82), coronary plaque (odds ratio [OR]: 1.45; 95% CI: 1.15-1.83) and segment stenosis score (cOR: 1.44; 95% CI: 1.15-1.81) after adjustment for age, sex, and current smoking. Conclusion: Adipose tissue specific insulin resistance is associated with atherosclerotic burden and plaques in intracranial and coronary arteries in Chinese community non-diabetic residents.

    Abstract: Insulin resistance (IR) is of growing concern yet its association with white matter integrity remains controversial. We aimed to investigate the association between IR and white matter integrity in nondiabetic adults. Methods: This cross-sectional analysis was conducted based on the PolyvasculaR Evaluation for Cognitive Impairment and vaScular Events (PRECISE) study. A total of 1709 nondiabetic community-dwelling adults with available diffusion-weighted imaging based on brain magnetic resonance imaging and completed oral glucose tolerance test were included. IR was measured noninvasively by insulin sensitivity indices (ISI), including ISIcomposite and ISI 0,120 , as well as homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). White matter microstructure abnormalities were identified by diffusion-weighted imaging along with tract-based spatial statistical analysis to compare diffusion metrics between groups. The multivariable linear regression models were applied to measure the association between white matter microstructure abnormalities and IR. Results: A total of 1709 nondiabetic individuals with a mean age of 60.8 ± 6.4 years and 54.1% female were included. We found that IR was associated with a significant increase in mean diffusivity, axial diffusivity, and radial diffusivity extensively in cerebral white matter in regions such as the anterior corona radiata, superior corona radiata, anterior limb of internal capsule, external capsule, and body of corpus callosum. The pattern of associations was more marked for ISIcomposite and ISI 0,120 . However, the effect of IR on white matter integrity was attenuated after, in addition, adjustment for history of hypertension and cardiovascular disease and antihypertensive medication use. Conclusion: Our findings indicate a significant association between IR and white matter microstructural abnormalities in nondiabetic middle-aged community residents, while these associations were greatly influenced by the history of hypertension and cardiovascular disease, and antihypertensive medication use. Further investigation is needed to clarify the role of IR in white matter integrity, whereas prophylactic strategies of maintaining a low IR status may ameliorate disturbances in white matter integrity. Data accessibility statement: The data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding authors upon reasonable request.

    Abstract: Cerebral large artery and small vessel diseases are related to different pathogenetic mechanisms and have different risk factor profile. Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) was shown to promote atherosclerosis but data was limited on its association with cerebral small vessel diseases (cSVD). The objective of this study was to assess the associations of Lp(a) level with the two types of cerebrovascular diseases. Methods Community-dwelling subjects aged 50–75 years from the baseline survey of The PolyvasculaR Evaluation for Cognitive Impairment and vaScular Events study were included. Lp(a) concentrations was measured and categorised into three groups according to the tertiles. Eligible participants were scanned by a 3.0T MRI scanner and assessed for intracranial atherosclerosis and cSVD burden based on four imaging markers. Results This study included 3059 subjects. The average age of the participants was 61.2±6.7 years, and 53.5% (1636) were female. Compared with the first tertile, subjects with the second and third tertiles of Lp(a) concentrations were associated with an increased odds of presence of intracranial plaque (18.7% vs 15.4%, adj.OR 1.37, 95% CI 1.08 to 1.75; 18.9% vs 15.4%, adj.OR 1.34, 95% CI 1.05 to 1.72). Similar associations were observed for intracranial atherosclerotic burden. Whereas, subjects with the third tertile of Lp(a) level had a decreased odds of presence of cSVD (25.9% vs 31.7%, adj.OR 0.74, 95% CI 0.60 to 0.92) and lower cSVD burden (adj.cOR 0.76, 95% CI 0.62 to 0.94). Conclusions In this study, Lp(a) concentrations were positively associated with presence and burden of intracranial atherosclerosis, but was inversely associated with cSVD. Trial registration number NCT03178448 .

    Abstract: Endovascular therapy (EVT) demonstrated better outcomes compared with medical management in recent randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of patients with large infarct. Objective To compare outcomes of EVT vs medical management across different strata of the Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) and infarct core volume in patients with large infarct. Design, Setting, and Participants This prespecified secondary analysis of subgroups of the Endovascular Therapy in Acute Anterior Circulation Large Vessel Occlusive Patients With a Large Infarct Core (ANGEL-ASPECT) RCT included patients from 46 stroke centers across China between October 2, 2020, and May 18, 2022. Participants were enrolled within 24 hours of symptom onset and had ASPECTS of 3 to 5 or 0 to 2 and infarct core volume of 70 to 100 mL. Patients were divided into 3 groups: ASPECTS of 3 to 5 with infarct core volume less than 70 mL, ASPECTS of 3 to 5 with infarct core volume of 70 mL or greater, and ASPECTS of 0 to 2. Interventions Endovascular therapy or medical management. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was the ordinal 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score. Results There were 455 patients in the trial; median age was 68 years (IQR, 60-73 years), and 279 (61.3%) were male. The treatment effect did not vary significantly across the 3 baseline imaging subgroups ( P  = .95 for interaction). The generalized odds ratio for the shift in the 90-day mRS distribution toward better outcomes with EVT vs medical management was 1.40 (95% CI, 1.06-1.85; P  = .01) in patients with ASPECTS of 3 to 5 and infarct core volume less than 70 mL, 1.22 (95% CI, 0.81-1.83; P  = .23) in patients with ASPECTS of 3 to 5 and infarct core volume of 70 mL or greater, and 1.59 (95% CI, 0.89-2.86; P  = .09) in patients with ASPECTS of 0 to 2. Conclusions and Relevance In this study, no significant interaction was found between baseline imaging status and the benefit of EVT compared with medical management in patients with large infarct core volume. However, estimates within subgroups were underpowered. A pooled analysis of large core trials stratified by ASPECTS and infarct core volume strata is warranted.

    Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum cystatin C levels and the presence and severity of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). Methods: Community-dwelling residents in the Lishui city in China from the cross-sectional survey of the PRECISE (Poly-Vascular Evaluation for Cognitive Impairment and Vascular Events) cohort study were included in present study from 2017 to 2019. Total CSVD burden and modified total CSVD burden score, as well as the markers of CSVD on magnetic resonance imaging, including white matter hyperintensity, lacunes, cerebral microbleeds, and perivascular spaces, were assessed at baseline survey. Participants were divided into 4 groups according to the quartiles of cystatin C. The association of serum cystatin C with total CSVD burden and imaging markers was analyzed using ordinal or binary logistic regression models. Furthermore, 2-sample Mendelian randomization analysis was performed to investigate the genetically predicted effect of cystatin C on CSVD. Results: A total of 3061 participants were included in this study. The mean age of the participants was 61.2±6.7 years, and 1637 (53.5%) were women. Higher level of cystatin C was associated with an increased total CSVD burden and modified total CSVD burden (Q4 versus Q1: common odds ratio [OR], 1.30 [95% CI, 1.03–1.64] and 1.32 [95% CI, 1.01–1.73]) after adjustment for covariates. Further, compared with the first quartile of cystatin C, subjects in the last quartile had higher risk of lacunes (OR, 1.99 [95% CI, 1.05–3.76] ), modified white matter hyperintensity burden (common OR, 1.42 [95% CI, 1.07–1.90]), and moderate-to-severe perivascular spaces (OR, 2.15 [95% CI, 1.29–3.59] ) but not cerebral microbleeds. The Mendelian randomization analysis showed that a genetically predicted higher cystatin C level was associated with increased risk of lacunar stroke (OR, 1.16 [95% CI, 1.06–1.27]). Conclusions: In this community-based study, we found a possible association between cystatin C and CSVD, especially for lacunes, that was independent of estimated glomerular filtration rate.
