    La alta prevalencia de depresión en pacientes con cardiopatía crónica genera un significativo impacto en la adherencia a la terapia, provoca un efecto independiente en el pronóstico, lo que genera una mayor cantidad de ingresos hospitalarios y una amplia gama de complicaciones, por lo que la OMS indica que se deben realizar las intervenciones necesarias para eliminar las barreras que existan en la adherencia. Se realizó un estudio de asociación cruzada en 400 pacientes con diagnóstico de cardiopatía isquémica que acudieron a la consulta de cardiología del Hospital de Especialidades Eugenio Espejo de Quito, Ecuador, durante el período septiembre a noviembre 2023. El 48.5% eran adultos maduros, 68% masculinos, 88.8% mestizos, 94.8% nacionales, 54.8% alcanzó educación básica, 66.5% casados, 41.5% trabajan por cuenta propia. El 58.5% tenían Estado funcional NYHA 1, 55.8% enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles. La prevalencia de depresión fue de 23.3%, el 54.8% mostro baja adherencia.Se evidenció asociación estadísticamente significativa (p<0,05) entre adherencia al tratamiento y estado funcional; entre depresión postinfarto con el estado funcional, la adherencia al tratamiento, grupo de adulto mayor, sexo masculino, ocupación y presencia de enfermedades crónicas no transmisible

    NoxO1 Controls Proliferation of Colon Epithelial Cells

    AimReactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by enzymes of the NADPH oxidase family serve as second messengers for cellular signaling. Processes such as differentiation and proliferation are regulated by NADPH oxidases. In the intestine, due to the exceedingly fast and constant renewal of the epithelium both processes have to be highly controlled and balanced. Nox1 is the major NADPH oxidase expressed in the gut, and its function is regulated by cytosolic subunits such as NoxO1. We hypothesize that the NoxO1-controlled activity of Nox1 contributes to a proper epithelial homeostasis and renewal in the gut.ResultsNoxO1 is highly expressed in the colon. Knockout of NoxO1 reduces the production of superoxide in colon crypts and is not subsidized by an elevated expression of its homolog p47phox. Knockout of NoxO1 increases the proliferative capacity and prevents apoptosis of colon epithelial cells. In mouse models of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis and azoxymethane/DSS induced colon cancer, NoxO1 has a protective role and may influence the population of natural killer cells.ConclusionNoxO1 affects colon epithelium homeostasis and prevents inflammation

    Oxidized phospholipids (oxPAPC) induce endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis. Here we show that oxPAPC induce a gene network regulating serine-glycine metabolism with the mitochondrial methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase/cyclohydrolase (MTHFD2) as a causal regulator using integrative network modeling and Bayesian network analysis in human aortic endothelial cells. The cluster is activated in human plaque material and by atherogenic lipoproteins isolated from plasma of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the MTHFD2-controlled cluster associate with CAD. The MTHFD2-controlled cluster redirects metabolism to glycine synthesis to replenish purine nucleotides. Since endothelial cells secrete purines in response to oxPAPC, the MTHFD2-controlled response maintains endothelial ATP. Accordingly, MTHFD2-dependent glycine synthesis is a prerequisite for angiogenesis. Thus, we propose that endothelial cells undergo MTHFD2-mediated reprogramming toward serine-glycine and mitochondrial one-carbon metabolism to compensate for the loss of ATP in response to oxPAPC during atherosclerosis
