It is of potential significance to explore the blood indexes predicting plaque characteristics. We investigated the relationship among soluble CD105, hypersensitive C-reactive protein （hs-CRP）, and coronary plaque morphology.Methods A clinical study from April 2004 to December 2006 was conducted in 130 patients who were divided into 3 groups： 56 patients （43.1%） in stable angina （SA） group, 52 patients （40.0%） in unstable angina （UA） group and 22 patients （16.9%） in acute myocardial infarction group. The concentrations of soluble CD105 and hs-CRP were measured in all of the patients by cardioangiography （CAG）. Plasma samples of arterial blood were collected prior to the procedure. The levels of soluble CD105 and hs-CRP were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）.Results Unstable and ruptured plaque was found more frequently in patients with acute myocardial infarction and UA. External elastic membrane cross-sectional area （EEM CSA）, plaque area, lipid pool area and plaque burden were significantly larger in the ruptured and unstable plaque group. Positive remodeling, thinner fabric-cap, smaller minimal lumen cross-sectional area （MLA）, dissection and thrombus were significantly more frequent in the ruptured and unstable plaque group. Remodeling index （RI） was positively correlated with the levels of soluble CD105 in the UA group （r=0.628, P〈0.01） and the acute myocardial infarction group （r=0.639, P〈0.01）. The levels of soluble CD105 and hs-CRP were higher in the ruptured plaque group. Soluble CD105 〉4.3 ng/ml was used to predict ruptured plaque with a receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve area of 0.77 （95% confidence interval （CI）, 66.8%-87.2%）, a sensitivity of 72.8%, a specificity of 78.0% and an accuracy of 70.2% （P〈0.01）, similarly for hs-CRP 〉 5.0 mg/ml with a ROC curve area of 0.70 （95% CI, 59.2%-80.2%）, a sensitivity of 70.2%, a specificity of 76.2% and an accuracy of 67.2% （P〈0.01）.Conclusions The plaque characteristics correlate with the clinical presentation. The elevation of soluble CD105 and hs-CRP is related to the plaque instability and rupture.展开更多

Methods：127 patients who received successful percutaneous transluminal coronary stenting, were divided into groups of stable angina（SAP）, unstable angina（UAP）, and acute myocardial infarction（AMI） according to their clinical types. Another 41 stable angina patients with more than 70% of coronary artery tenosis who did not receive PCI served as control. Serum Hs-CRP levels and WBC count were determined before intervention, 3 days and 7 days post PCI and the data were analyzed statistically by t-test. Results： There showed no difference in clinical baseline characteristics between groups. The serum Hs-CRP level and WBC count was gradually raised in the UAP and AMI group（how about SAP group, andhad no difference in CAG group and SAP group）. After PCI serum HsCRP levels and WBC counts were significantly higher in the SAP group than in the coronary angiography group（CAG） at 3 days and had no difference at 7 days. In the UAP and AMI group, the serum Hs-CRP level at 3 days and 7 days declined obviously, however serum WBC count did not decrease apparently. Conclusion： The serum Hs-CRP level and WBC count elevate transiently after PCI. There are different inflammatory reactions in different types of coronary heart diseases after coronary stenting procedure.展开更多
