Relationship of Phlegm and Blood-stasis Syndrome in Coronary Heart Disease with Gene Polymorphism of Apolipoprotein E / 广州中医药大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the relationship of apolipoprotein E(ApoE) and its gene polymorphism with phlegm and blood stasis syndrome in patients with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods Ninety-seven qualified CHD patients involving phlegm syndrome(PS),blood-stasis syndrome(BSS),and phlegm and blood stasis syndrome(PBSS) were adopted.Thirty-five healthy volunteers were enrolled into the control group.Serum ApoE level was examined in all of the subjects,and their whole blood DNA were extracted for the detection of ApoE gene polymorphism by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP).Correlation analysis of the data was performed with SPSS11.0 software.Results The difference of diabetes mellitus,smoking,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) was significant between CHD patients and healthy volunteers(P
