Methods Eighty ACMpatients and 80 healthy adult volunteers (HAV) were enrolled in a case-control study, inwhich concentrations of nitric oxide (NO) in plasma, lipoperoxides (LPO) in plasma andLPO in erythrocytes (RBC), vitamin C (VC), vitamin E (VE) and b-carotene (b-CAR) inplasma as well as activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathioneperoxidase (GSH-Px) in RBC were determined by using spectrophotometric assays. ResultsCompared with the average values (AV) of the above biochemical parameters (BP) in theHAV group, the AV of NO in plasma, and LPO in plasma and RBC in the ACM group weresignificantly increased (P=0.0001), while the AV of VC, VE, b-CAR, SOD, CAT and GSH-Px in the ACM group were significantly decreased (P=0.0001). The values of the above BPwere used to estimate the relative risk ratio (RR) between the ACM group and the HAVgroup; the RR and its 95 % confidence interval were 12.467 (5.745~27.051), 4.333(2.126~8.834), 6.517 (3.225~13.618), 3.310 (1.598~6.858), 31.000 (12.611~76.201),4.663 (2.228~9.759), 11.769 (5.440~25.462), 3.043 (1.486~6.229) and 6.594 (3.045~14.281)respectively, and their P levels ranged from 0.002 to 0.0001. The results were asfollows: D = 22.143 - 0.017SOD + 0.008NO + 0.244LPO in RBC, Eigenvalue = 13.659,Canonical correlation = 0.965, Wilks’λ= 0.068, c2 = 420.212, P = 0.0001. The correct rateof discrimination to the ACM group and to the HAV group was 87.5% and 95.0 %, respectively,and 91.3 % of originally grouped cases was correctly classified. Conclusion The findingsin this study suggested that the oxidative stress in bodies of ACM patients was severelyaggravated, and marked high oxidative constituents and low antioxidants and antioxidasesin the human body might increase the relative risk of inducing acute coxsackie virusmyocarditis, and measuring the values of NO in plasma, SOD and LPO in RBC mightincrease the correct rates of discriminatory analysis of the ACM.展开更多
