Changes and effects of the levels of serum lipid,lipoprotein (a) and tumor necrosis factor-αon the atherogenesis / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the changes of atherosclerosis and vascular tissue after pecutaneous tranluminal angioplasty (PTA) ,and evaluate the role of serum lipid ,lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] and tumor necrosis factor‐α(TNF‐α) in this progress .Methods Thirty New Zealand white rabbits with high fate diets were established as observation group ,and 10 rabbits with normal feed were set as control group .Blood biochemistry test was used to detect the levels of serum TC ,TG ,HDL‐C ,LDL‐C ,Lp(a) and TNF‐αbefore the experiment ,after 2 weeks feeding and 1 month ,2 months ,3months after PTA .The correlation among atherosclerosis and Lp(a) ,TNF‐a were measured by multiple logistic regression analysis .Opposite reference value was calculated with receiving operating characteristics (ROC) analysis .Results The levels of TC ,TG and LDL‐C were significant higher than baseline with the feeding time(P<0 .05) .The level of HDL‐C after 2 weeks high cholesterol diet feeding was lower than baseline (P<0 .05) .The content of TNF‐αat 2nd month after PTA was remarkable higher than baseline(P<0 .01) .ROC analysis showed that RR of TNF‐a was 1 .84(P<0 .01) and an area under the curve of 0 .871 for TNF‐α (95% CI0 .811 -0 .956) compared to 0 .523 for Lp(a) (95% CI0 .409-0 .720)regarding atherosclerosis .Conclusion The turbulence of lipid could be an important factor of atherosclero‐sis ,and the high level of TNF‐αmay take part in the process of repairing of arteriosclerotic vessel .
