Clinical significance and expression of serum chemerin in the acute myocardial infarction patients / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the levels of serum chemerin in the acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients and explore the clinical significance.Methods A total of 76 AMI patients from January 2013 to December 2013 were inrolled and 30 healthy patients were included as normal control(NC) group.Chemerin, tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α), adiponectin were asessed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELlSA).The clinical data of high sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP), body mass index (BMI), blood lipids, underlying diseases et al were collected.Results Serum levels of chemerin in AMI patients was higher than the NC group significantly((12.97±4.17) μg/L vs.(30.96± 17.16) μg/L, t =5.642, P＜0.001).The Serum levels of Chemerin in single vessel disease group, two vessel disease group and triple vessel disease group were (22.25 ± ±6.93) μg/L, (28.57 ± 15.92) μg/L, (37.95 ± 16.52) μg/L respectively and was linearly increasing relationship with increasing AMI severity (P＜0.001, F =22.84, r2 =0.397).Serum levels of Chemerin positively correlated with TNF-α, hs-CRP level(r2=0.347,0.455 ,P＜0.001) and negative correlated with adiponectin(r2 =0.396,P＜0.001).Logistic regression analysis showed that chemerin was an independent risk factor for AMI (OR =4.822,95％ CI 4.422-7.141, P =0.032).Conclusion The results showed that serum chemerin levels were significantly elevated in AMI patients,and chemerin may be involved in the development process of AMI.
