简介:目的探讨冠心病患者血清炎症因子白介素-6(IL-6)、白介素-8(L-8)和肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)含量在冠心病发展过程中的意义。方法测定81例冠心病患者血清炎症因子IL-6、IL-8和TNF含量,观察冠心病患者冠脉狭窄程度与血清IL-6、IL-8及TNF含量变化的关系。结果40例冠脉重度狭窄者血清炎症因子IL-6、IL-8和TNF分别为(163.41±64.18)pg/ml、(0.41±0.11)ng/ml、(2.54±0.63)ng/ral,41例冠脉轻中度狭窄者血清炎症因子IL-6、IL-8和TNF分别为(97.05±27.29)pg/ml、(0.34±0.16)ng/ml、(1.86±0.33)ng/ml,两组间差异存在统计学意义(P〈0.05)。结论血清炎症因子IL-6、IL-8和TNF与冠心病的严重程度有关。冠脉狭窄越明显,炎症因子IL-6、IL-8及TNF含量越高。
简介:目的探讨急性冠脉综合征(ACS)患者血清白细胞介素6(IL-6),白细胞介素8(IL-8),白细胞介素1β(IL-1β),肿瘤坏死因子α(TNF-α)以及超敏C反应蛋白(hs-CRP)的水平变化及意义。方法采用化学发光酶免疫分析法及免疫比浊法检测36例健康对照组(NC)、41例稳定性心绞痛患者(SA)、52例ACS患者(包括20例急性心肌梗死患者和32例不稳定心绞痛患者)血清IL-6、IL-8、IL-1β、TNF-α及hs-CRP的水平。结果与NC组和SA组比较,ACS组患者血清IL-6、IL-8、IL-1β、TNF-α及hs-CRP水平显著升高,差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05),而SA组与NC组比较血清IL-6、IL-8、IL-1β、TNF-α及hs-CRP水平差异无统计学意义(P〉0.05)。结论检测ACS患者炎症因子的水平,有助于预测冠心病患者发生急性心血管事件的风险及监测ACS患者疾病的进展。
简介:目的探讨瑞舒伐他汀在冠心病合并高脂血症治疗中的应用及对血清hs-CRP(超敏C反应蛋白)、MFG-E8(乳脂肪球表皮生长因子)和Klotho的影响.方法选取我院70例冠心病合并高脂血症患者,随机将其分为两组,两组患者入院后均给予常规治疗,在这一治疗基础上,研究组给予瑞舒伐他汀进行治疗,对比两组临床疗效和血清hs-CRP、MFG-E8、Klotho变化情况.结果对照组高脂血症治疗总有效率和血脂达标率分别为71.43%和60.00%,研究组为94.29%和88.57%,组间差异显著(P〈0.05);经治疗结束后,两组患者血清hs-CRP、MFG-E8和Klotho水平均明显改善,且相较于对照组,研究组改善程度更大,组间差异显著(P〈0.05).结论瑞舒伐他汀治疗冠心病合并高脂血症具有显著疗效,且有助于改善血清hs-CRP、MFG-E8、Klotho水平.
