Clinical observation of plasma soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and soluble E-slectin in patients with Keshan disease accompanied by hypertension / 中华地方病学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate plasma level of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1)and soluble E-slectin (sES) in patients with Keshan disease (KD) accompanied by hypertension,and to further their relation to systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and ejection fraction (EF) of left ventricle.Methods Patients with Keshan disease investigated in 2007 in Fuyu County,Heilongjiang Province were divided into two groups according to whether they were accompanied by hypertension or not:KDP group (n =17),the patients were diagnosed as Keshan disease accompanied by hypertension;KDN group (n =14),the patients were only diagnosed as Keshan disease.Healthy volunteers lived in the same area as the patients were included in the control group (CON group,n =10).The clinical data (such as age,sex and past medical history),SBP and DBP were recorded.EF was detected by echocardiography.Plasma sICAM-1 and sES concentrations were measured by ABC-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique.Results Plasma level of sICAM-1 in the subjects was significantly elevated in KDP group as compared with that in CON group and KDN group [(399.84 ± 99.06) vs (323.06 ± 61.27) μg/L,P ＜0.05;(399.84 ± 99.06) vs (268.27 ± 72.88) μg/L,P ＜ 0.01].However,there was no statistical significance in plasma sICAM-1 between the KDN group and control group (P ＞ 0.05).The difference of plasma sES between the control group,KDN group and KDP group did not reach statistical significance [(76.31 ± 23.17),(72.26 ± 20.15) and (90.21 ± 19.21) μg/L,F =3.236,P ＞ 0.05].As compared with the KDN group,SBP and DBP were obviously higher in KDP group [(169 ± 27) and (121 ± 10) mmHg,(102 ± 17) and (81 ± 6) mmHg,1 mmHg =0.133 kPa,F =6.376,4.300,all P ＜ 0.01],and EF was not significantly increased [(58 ± 14)％ and (55 ± 14)％,F =0.789,P ＞ 0.05].Furthermore,correlation analysis showed plasma sICAM-1 was positively correlated with SBP (r =0.540 6,P ＜ 0.01)and DBP (r =0.461 2,P ＜ 0.01),but not with EF of left ventricle in subjects whir Keshan disease (r =0.073 4,P ＞0.05).Conclusion These data shows slCAM-1 may play a role in the development of Keshan disease accompanied by hypertension,providing an potential index for its risk assessment.
