The goal of this study was to measure serum cardiac troponin I levels after open heart surgery in children, and to evaluate relevance between TnTi and perioperative multi-factors. Methods Fifty-seven consecutive pediatric patients undergoing elective correction of congenital heart diseases were divided into group A ( TOF, n =31 ) and group B ( VSD, n =26). Blood sampies were drawn preoperatively, 5min( T0 ) , 6h( T6 ) , 12h( T12 ) , 24h( T24 ) , 48h( T48 ) , 72h( T72 ) after removal of aortic cross clamping. Myocardial protection consisted of moderate systemic hypothermia ( 30℃- 32℃ ), cold crystalloid cardioplegia and topical cooling. Demographic information, cardiac defect, repair procedure, duration of bypass ( CPBT) , cross-clamping time ( CCT) , clinical score for cardiac function, electrocardiographic changes and outcomes were recorded. Results Compared with the baseline value, serum concentration of troponin I peaked at T0 ( P 〈 0. 01 ), and fell to normal level at T72 ( P 〉 0. 05 ). Peak CTnI was 118 and 55 times higher than the baseline value, respectively in group A and group B. There was a positive correlation between peak CTnI and CPBT, CCT ( r = 0. 51 ; P 〈 0. 01 ), myocardial operative injury after ventriculotomy and muscle resection ( r = 0. 35, P 〈0. 01 ). Also the peak CTnl value was correlated to the clinical score for cardiac function (r = -0. 52; P 〈0. 01). 2.3μg/L was a cutoff value which was highly predictive for postoperative recovery and inotropic support. Conclusion Postoperative serum troponin I is a highly specific and sensitive marker for myocardial ischemia and injury; therefore, its measurement may contribute to the assessment of recovery and outcome after open heart surgery.展开更多

Methods This study enrolled 5154 participants. By excluding subjects with hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, kidney diseases, and overweight condition, as well as those with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)(60 ml/(min· 1.73 m^2), apparently healthy subjects (1168) were selected. Urine albumin was measured by using the immunoturbidimetic method, serum creatinine was measured by using Jaffe's kinetic method on a morning spot-urine sample, and ACR was calculated. The 95th percentile of ACR in the healthy subjects was used as the normal upper limit. Results The normal upper limit of ACR was 28.71 mg/g (3.25 mg/retool) for males and 31.85 mg/g (3.60 rag/retool) for females. Based on this ACR reference value, the age-gender standardized prevalence of albuminuria in the rural areas of Hebei province was 12.9%. Conclusion The ACR reference value in the rural of Hebei province is higher than that of the Western population.展开更多
