ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the correlation of cyclophilin A (CyPA) level in patients with essential hyperten?sion(EH)in Xinjiang Xibo and Mongolia populations and to investigate its clinical significance. Methods EH patients (n=76) and healthy control subjects (n=62) were selected from Xinjiang Xibo populations. On the other hand, EH patients (n=66)and healthy control subjects (n=57) were selected from Xinjiang Mongolia populations. Serum cyclophilin A was measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Parameters such as age, body mass index(BMI), waist, waist hip ratio, blood pressure were measured in each group. The correlation of cyclophilin A with each parameter was analyzed. Results The levels of serum cyclophilin A in EH patients in Xinjiang Xibo and Xinjiang Mongolia populations were significantly high?er than those in their corresponding healthy control groups(P<0.05). Serum cyclophilin A in patients with essential hyperten?sion(EH)in Xinjiang Mongolia population was signifantly higher than that in EH patients from Xinjiang Xibo population (P<0.05). There was a positive correlation between serum cyclophilin A level and occurance of EH in both Xinjiang Xibo and Xinjiang Mongolia populations. Conclusion The serum cyclophilin A is significant higher in EH patients in both Xinji?ang Xibo and Xinjiang Mongolia populations so it is positively correlated with occurance of EH (P<0.05). Cyclophilin A lev?el is a risk factor of essential hypertension in both Xinjiang Xibo and Xinjiang Mongolia populations.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the correlation between the level of CaMKIV and essential hypertension (EH) in Shihezi community. Methods One hundred and forty-six patients with EH and 142 with normal blood pressure are enrolled from 15 communities in shihezi. We collected the clinical data, including blood pressure, body mass index, waist circumference, blood lipids. The serum level of CaMKIV was detected using an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Results The serum level of CaMKIV in the EH group was significantly lower than that in the normal blood pressure group (P < 0.05). The serum CaMKIV was negatively correlated with systolic BP and diastolic BP (r = -0.304, -0.452, all P < 0.05), with more obvious correlation with patients whose diastolic blood pressure was over 100 mmHg (r = -0.571, P < 0.05). Conclusions The serum level of CaMKIV is negatively correlated with EH, which is an independent factor of EH.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the correlation between plasma asymmetric dimethylarginin(ADMA) and essential hyper‐tention(EH) by comparing the difference of plasma asymmetric dimethylarginine levels between Kazak and Han patients with EH in Xinjiang .Methods 91 Kazak and 112 Han patients with EH were selected .81 Kazak and 110 Han healthy people were selected as healthy control groups .The plasma ADMA levels in EH groups and the control groups were measured by using the reverse phase‐high performance liquid chromatography (RP‐HPLC) .Meanwhile the liver function ,renal function ,blood lipids ,blood glucose and fructosamine were measured .Results Kazak and Han patients with EH had higher levels of plasma ADMA than the control groups (P<0 .01);there was a positive correlation between the plasma ADMA and blood pressure levels of EH patients in two na‐tionalities(r=0 .715 ,P<0 .01 for Kazak ;r=0 .645 ,P<0 .01 for Han) .Conclusion Both Kazak and Han patients with EH have higher levels of ADMA than the respective healthy control group in Xinjiang .The correlation between the plasma levels of ADMA and EH existed ,which indicate that ADMA might be involved in the occurrence and development of EH .
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between serum sCD40L level and coronary stenosis degree in acute coronary syndromes(ACS) patients with different glucose tolerance conditions.Methods154 patients with ACS were divided into normal glucose tolerance group ( NGT),impaired glucose tolerance group (IGT) and type 2 diabetes group (T2DM) according to the OGTT.The levels of serum sCD40L were detected by ELISA,and all patients underwent coronary angiography in order to calculate their Gensini score.Then the relationship between serum sCD40L level and coronary stenosis was analyzed by statistics.ResultsThe Gensini scores of IGT[(41.8 ± 19.8)score] and T2DM groups [(40.1 ± 18.7)score] were higher than NGT group [(21.9 ± 15.3)score] ( P ＜0.01 ),but there was no statistical difference between IGT and T2DM ( P ＞ 0.05 ) group.The serum sCD40L levels of IGT[(2.46 ± 0.79 )ng/ml]were higher than NGT group [(2.12 ± 0.81 )ng/ml] ( P ＜ 0.05 ),and the serum sCD40L levels in T2DM group [( 2.57 ± 0.68) ng/ml] were obviously higher than NGT group [( 2.12 ± 0.81 ) ng/ml] ( P ＜ 0.01 ).The serum sCD40L levels in T2DM group were higher IGT group,but there was no statistical difference between T2DM and IGT groups( P ＞0.05).Statistical analysis revealed that serum sCD40L levels had no statistical difference among the three groups and it had no relationship with coronary stenosis ( r =-0.147,P ＞0.05).ConclusionsCD40/CD40L activation would occur in the patients of ACS with wildly abnormal blood sugar,not only in those who had diabetes with much higher blood sugar.The serum sCD40L level in the ACS patients with abnormal glucose tolerance had no relationship with the severity of coronary stenosis.
