Detection of serum MDA, NO and iNOS in patients with SARS and its clinical significance~* / 中国病理生理杂志

ABSTRACT

AIM: To observe free radicals (MDA, NO) and iNOS of patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and to explore its significance. METHODS: MDA, NO_2~-/NO_3~- and iNOS were determined in SARS patients during the early, recovery and follow-up stage, front doctors and nurses (contact group) and health people (health control). RESULTS: The level of MDA during first stage was higher than that of recovery stage and the MDA level of recovery stage was higher than that of follow-up stage, contact group, and health control group (P0.05). CONCLUSION: The pathological injury in pathogenesis of SARS is related to free radicals. [
