A Role of IL-17 in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Complicated With Atherosclerosis

TL;DR: It is hoped that the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis in patients with RA can be diagnosed or prevented in time in the early stage of lesions, and the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular complications in Patients with RACan be enhanced to reduce mortality.

Role of IL-37- and IL-37-Treated Dendritic Cells in Acute Coronary Syndrome.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper found that IL-37 is elevated and plays a beneficial role in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and dendritic cells orchestrate both immunity and tolerance, and tolerogenic DCs are characterized by more secretion of immunosuppressive cytokines.

The role of sIL-6R mediated trans-signaling in cardiovascular morbidity in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Ruth Davies
TL;DR: It is suggested that IL-6 trans-signaling blockade may be beneficial to RA patients, and perhaps for atherosclerosis in the general population, as well as investigated in a cross-sectional study and an observational study.

Endothelial pannexin 1 channels control inflammation by regulating intracellular calcium

TL;DR: This study provides the first evidence that intracellular Ca2+ regulation via the Panx1 channel induces a feed-forward effect on NFκβ to regulate IL-1β synthesis and release in endothelium during inflammation.

Definition of Metabolic Syndrome Report of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute/American Heart Association Conference on Scientific Issues Related to Definition

TL;DR: Although ATP III identified CVD as the primary clinical outcome of the metabolic syndrome, most people with this syndrome have insulin resistance, which confers increased risk for type 2 diabetes, when diabetes becomes clinically apparent, CVD risk rises sharply.

C-Reactive Protein and Other Markers of Inflammation in the Prediction of Cardiovascular Disease in Women

TL;DR: The addition of the measurement of C-reactive protein to screening based on lipid levels may provide an improved method of identifying persons at risk for cardiovascular events.

Inflammation, Aspirin, and the Risk of Cardiovascular Disease in Apparently Healthy Men

TL;DR: The reduction associated with the use of aspirin in the risk of a first myocardial infarction appears to be directly related to the level of C-reactive protein, raising the possibility that antiinflammatory agents may have clinical benefits in preventing cardiovascular disease.
