ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the clinical value of high sensitivity C‐reactive protein(hs‐CRP) ,fibrinogen(Fib) and D‐dimer (D‐D) measurement for patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI) before and after the treatment with the anticoagulation and thrombolysis therapy .Methods 110 patients with AMI were recruited in the study and the plasma hs‐CRP ,Fib ,D‐D and myocardi‐al damage markers were measured before and after the treatment .Results 66 of the 110 patients′plasma hs‐CRP ,Fib ,D‐D concen‐trations elevated(higher than the threshold) before treatment and after treatment within 24 h ,while 44 patients′plasma hs‐CRP , Fib concentrations increased ,but D‐D didn′t .Conclusion The measurement of hs‐CRP is helpful for the diagnosis and treatment of AMI .Hs‐CRP is another good myocardial injury marker ,and the plasma hs‐CRP concentration after treatment for 24 -48 h could reflect the severity and prognosis of AMI better than after treatment within 12 h .Fib decreases relatively slowly after the treat‐ment ,so it cannot be used for curative effect observation for AMI patients;D‐D concentration dosen′t have the determined negative predictive value for the diagnosis of AMI ,so it cannot be used as screening out indicator for AMI ,but D‐D concentration can be used as therapeutic effect monitoring indicator for AMI patients with D‐D positive .
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the dynamic change of serum Hcy level in patients with non-small lung cancer when under-going chemotherapy,and to study the value of monitoring serum Hcy for chemotherapy efficieney in non-small-cell carcinoma.Meth-ods In our study,we enrolled 62 patients with non-small-cell carcinoma when undergoing chemotherapy.The concentrations of ho-mocysteine,carcino-embryonic antigen and cytokeratin 1 9 fragments were detected,and then these results were analyzed by statisti-cal methods.Results Compared with before treatment,the serum homocysteine,carcino-embryonic antigen and cytokeratin 1 9 frag-ments levels in patients who had effective response decreased.After 2 courses of chemotherapy,the levels of the three markers were significantly lower than those detected before chemotherapy (P 0.05).The positive rates of the three markers were statisti-cally significant between single lung squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the non-small-cell carcinoma.Conclusion The detection of the dynamic changes of serum Hcy in patients with non-small-cell carcinoma when undergoing chemotherapy is useful in evaluating the effect of chemotherapy and tumor activity.
