The significance of assaying serum CRP and MMP-9 in unstable angina pectoris patients / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To approach the significance of serum C-Reactive protein(CRP) and matrix metalloproteinases-9(MMP-9) levels in the diagnosis unstable angina(UA) and its forecasting of prognosis .Methods:The serum CRP levels of 38 cases of UA,36 cases of stable angina(SA) and 35 cases of normal controllers was measured by immunoturbidimetric method.And meanwhile,the serum MMP-9 levels of the above-mentioned three groups was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results:When the groups were hospitalized,the CRP levels of the UA group(5.85?2.23 mg/L)was evidently higher than that of the SA group(2.54?1.07 mg/L)and the normal control group(1.21?1.02 mg/L)( P
