“…However, it is unclear why the authors did not include Iraqi and Afghani refugees within the Middle Eastern refugees' category, which may have underestimated CVD risk in the Middle eastern refugee group. This finding is consistent with another review that examined Middle Eastern refugees without directly comparing them to native populations or CVD rates in countries of origin [ 29 ]. Findings focusing on the region of origin are significant considering a recent report of global patterns of CVD, which showcased the Middle East region to have one of the highest age-standardized disability-adjusted-life-years (DALY) rates due to ischemic heart disease, and one of the highest numbers of stroke survivors globally [ 8 ].…”

Migrating Populations and Health: Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease and Metabolic Syndrome

Purpose of ReviewTo summarize results of recent studies of migrants in Europe and North America and ongoing efforts to adapt strategies to provide them with inclusive sensitive health care. Recent Findings Major predisposing factors for developing hypertension, obesity, diabetes, and the metabolic syndrome in migrating populations and refugees were identified. Susceptibility to the metabolic syndrome is predominantly due to environmental factors and psychological stress. Acculturation also contributes to the emergence of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in first-generation adult immigrants. Increased risk for later development of hypertension and dyslipidemia has also been detected in adolescent immigrants. Targets for public health efforts were based on data that show important differences in CV risk factors and prevalence of the metabolic syndrome among ethnic immigrant groups. Studies in young adults focused on lifestyle and dietary behaviors and perceptions about weight and body image, while the focus for older adults was end-of-life issues. Summary Two important themes have emerged: barriers to health care, with a focus on cultural and language barriers, and violence and its impact on immigrants' mental health.

This study aimed to elucidate the impact of quercetin (Que)-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (PLGA-Que) on hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced cardiomyocyte (CM) injury and its mechanism. PLGA-Que was first prepared, and H/R CMs were intervened with either PLGA-Que or free Que. The results showed that both PLGA-Que and free Que could enhance H/R CM viability, inhibit apoptosis, and lower the oxidative stress response. However, PLGA-Que was more protective of H/R CMs than free Que. Subsequently, noticeably enhanced viability and reduced apoptosis of H/R CMs were determined after miR-499-5p or miR-375 up-regulation. Lastly, the inhibitor sequences of either miR-499-5p or miR-375 were transfected into PLGAQue-treated H/R CMs. The results showed that both sequences reversed the enhancement of viability and inhibition of apoptosis of H/R CMs intervened by PLGA-Que. Thus, PLGA-Que can treat H/R-induced CM injury by up-regulating miR-499-5p and miR-375.
