Relationship between serum pentraxin 3 and rheumatic heart disease / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the pentraxin 3 (PTX3),hypersensitive c-reactive protein (the hs-CRP) and rheumatic heart disease ( RHD) correlation and significance .Methods:40 healthy people with the same period in hospital as contral ,and selected 76 cases hospitalized patients with rheumatic ( excluding artificial after valve replacement in patients with rheumatic ) , according to the Color Doppler Echocardiography and electrocardiogram ( ECG ) were divided into the atrial fibrillation rhythm group ( 48 cases ) and sinus rhythm group ( 28 cases ) combined valve lesion group ( 46 cases ) and single valve lesion group ( 30 cases ) using immune enhanced turbidimetric method to determine the hs-CRP, enzyme-linked immunosorbent ( ELISA ) method to detect the contents of PTX3.Results:①RHD group serum hs CRP and PTX 3 level obviously was higher than the control group ( P<0.01 );②the level of serum PTX3 rheumatic atrial fibrillation group was obviously higher than that of sinus rheumatic group ( P<0.01 ) , but the hs-CRP serum level of rheumatic atrial fibrillation group and sinus rheumatic group had no statistical difference ( P>0.05 );③PTX3 level and hs-CRP levels in combined valve lesion group were higher than in single valve disease group (P<0.05).Conclusion:PTX3 and hs-CRP persist in rheumatic heart disease , rheumatic valvular disease of the seriousness of the hs-elevated CRP and PTX3 concentration.PTX3 is one of the influence factors of rheumatic atrial fibrillation occurred ,PTX3 higher stability in rheumatic heart disease inflammatory response performance .
