RESUMEN
【Objective】 To explore the geographical environment factors that may affect serum uric acid (UA) of healthy people and explore the change trend of UA reference value at the national scale. 【Methods】 The UA reference values of 607905 healthy people from 565 loci in China were collected, and the correlation between 25 geographical environment factors and UA reference values was analyzed by correlation analysis. CatBoost model was constructed and SHAP value interpretation model was applied to predict the UA reference values of healthy people in counties and cities in China, and the geographical distribution map of UA reference values of healthy people in China was drawn by using ordinary Kriging. 【Results】 A total of 20 indicators, namely, latitude, altitude, annual average temperature, annual average relative humidity, annual precipitation, air temperature annual range, annual average wind speed, percentage of surface soil silt, surface soil bulk density, surface soil gravel content, surface soil organic matter content, surface soil PH, surface soil (clay) cation exchange capacity, surface soil (silt) cation exchange capacity, surface soil base saturation, total surface soil exchange capacity, T-CaCO3, T-CaSO4, surface soil alkalinity, and surface soil salt showed their correlation with UA reference value of healthy people nationwide. The spatial distribution of UA reference values of healthy people across the country differed, manifested as the changing trend of higher in high altitude regions, higher in coastal regions than in inland regions, lower in the mid-eastern region, and higher in Southwest China at similar altitudes. 【Conclusion】 This study lays a foundation for further studies on the mechanism of different influencing factors on UA reference value. CatBoost model was established to provide the basis for establishing reference standards using UA reference values as prognostic factors for hyperuricemia and related chronic diseases in different regions.
RESUMEN
【Objective】 To investigate the role and mechanism of dapagliflozin (Dapa), a sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor, in acute liver injury. 【Methods】 Eight-week-old C57BL6/J mice were given a single intraperitoneal injection of CCl4 to induce acute liver injury. The mice were preventively given 5 mg/kg Dapa by gavage 24 h and 2 h before CCl4 injection, while those in the control group were given an equal volume of solvent gavage. After 24 h, the mice were anesthetized and sacrificed. H&E staining, plasma biochemistry, RT-qPCR, and Western blotting were used to detect the severity of liver injury and the expressions of macrophage-related genes. 【Results】 In the CCl4 group, hepatic infiltration of inflammatory cells increased, and liver and renal functions significantly deteriorated, which was further aggravated by Dapa. CCl4 could promote the expressions of M1 macrophages and fibrosis-related genes in the liver, but reduce those of M2 and antioxidant-related genes, and the latter was further inhibited by Dapa. In addition, the protein expression of arginase 1 decreased and that of SGLT2 increased after Dapa intervention, while NF-κB pathway did not change significantly, suggesting that Dapa might directly affect the energy metabolism homeostasis in the liver and aggravate acute liver injury induced by CCl4. 【Conclusion】 Dapa can exacerbate hepatic and renal damage in acute stage of liver injury, inhibit macrophages M2 polarization, and aggravate oxidative stress and inflammatory injury induced by CCl4.
RESUMEN
【Objective】 This paper screened the factors that may influence the spatial differentiation of Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio （NLR） reference values in healthy adults in China and explored the trend of NLR reference values in China. 【Methods】 For this research， we collected the NLR of 162 681 healthy adults from 62 cities in China. Spearman regression analysis was used to analyze the correlation between NLR and 25 geography secondary indexes. We extracted 9 indexes with significant correlation， built a random forest （RF） model， and predicted the country’s urban healthy adults’ NLR reference value. By using the disjunctive Kriging method， we obtained the geographical distribution of NLR reference value of healthy adults in China. 【Results】 The reference value of NLR of healthy adults in China was significantly correlated with the 9 secondary indexes， namely， altitude， sunshine duration， annual average temperature， annual average relative humidity， annual temperature range， annual average wind speed， content of organic matter in topsoil， cation exchange capacity in topsoil （clay）， and total amount of CaSO4 in soil. The geographical distribution of NLR values of healthy adults in China showed a trend of being higher in Southeast China and lower in Northwest China， higher in coastal areas and lower in inland areas. 【Conclusion】 This study lays a foundation for further research on the mechanism of different influencing factors on the reference value of NLR index. A random forest model composed of significant influencing factors has been established to provide the basis for formulating reference criteria for the prognostic factors of the novel coronavirus using NLR reference values in different regions.
RESUMEN
【Objective】 To investigate the association of normal weight obesity （NWO） with carotid atherosclerosis （CAS） and peripheral arterial stiffness （PAS） in persons received physical examination. 【Methods】 A total of 1 894 people with normal BMI （18.5-23.9 kg/m2） were consecutively enrolled for this study. All these people had completed body fat measurement， carotid artery ultrasound examination and peripheral arterial stiffness detection. Then they were divided into control group， CAS group， PAS group， and CAS + PAS group according to the test results mentioned above. Clinical data were compared between different groups to assess the baseline situation. Besides， Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine independent risk factors for atherosclerosis. 【Results】 The proportion of NWO in CAS group， PAS group， and CAS + PAS group was significantly higher than that in normal group （P<0.05）. Univariate analysis results showed that NWO was correlated with greater risks of both CAS and PAS （P<0.05）. However， multiple factors analysis suggested that NWO was not associated with PAS， but with CAS （OR=1.286， 95% CI： 1.032-1.603， P<0.05）. 【Conclusion】 NWO is closely related to the occurrence of CAS and may be an independent risk factor for CAS. Attention should be paid to the body fat mass of the NWO population. Early intervention is needed to prevent the occurrence of CAS in these people.
RESUMEN
【Objective】 To investigate the inhibitory effect of magnesium citrate （MgCit） on hyperphosphorus-induced VSMCs calcification and its mechanisms. 【Methods】 VSMCs were divided into the following groups： normal control group， high-phosphorus group， low-dose MgCit group， high-dose MgCit group and high-dose MgCit+NPS2143 （calcium-sensitive receptor inhibitor） group. Alizarin red staining was used for semi-quantitative analysis of VSMCs calcification and the calcium content in VSMCs was detected by the commercial kit. The osteogenic transdifferentiation parameters including alkaline phosphatase （ALP） activity， as well as mRNA and protein levels of smooth muscle 22α （SM22α）， runt-related transcription factor 2 （RUNX2） and bone morphogenetic protein 2 （BMP2）， were detected in each group. 【Results】 Compared with those in the control group， the calcium content of VSMCs in the model group was increased， ALP activity， and the mRNA and protein expressions of RUNX2 and BMP2 were increased， and the mRNA expression of SM22α was decreased （P<0.05）. MgCit could reduce VSMCs calcification， decrease ALP activity， decrease mRNA and protein levels of RUNX2 and BMP2， and increase mRNA levels of SM22α induced by high-phosphorous （P<0.05）. The above effects of MgCit were reduced when NPS2143 was administered simultaneously （P<0.05）. 【Conclusion】 MgCit can reduce VSMCs calcification and osteogenic transdifferentiation induced by high phosphorus through activating of CaSR.
RESUMEN
【Objective】 To explore the correlation between serum trace elements and systolic and diastolic blood pressure in healthy population and patients with hypertension. 【Methods】 The health examination data of the subjects from our hospital from September 2018 to May 2021 were selected. They consisted of 3430 healthy people with no history of chronic diseases and 216 patients with hypertension previously diagnosed. We measured the levels of serum zinc， iron， calcium， magnesium， lead， copper and cadmium and analyzed their correlation with systolic blood pressure （SBP） and diastolic blood pressure （DBP）. 【Results】 The incidence of low zinc （9.5%） and hypomagnesemia （1.8%） was relatively low， while hypomagnesemia （27.8%） was relatively common in the healthy population. Logistic regression analysis showed that age， BMI and serum albumin were associated with increased SBP and DBP. Fasting blood glucose （OR=1.095， 95% CI： 1.007-1.191） and blood lead （OR=1.006， 95% CI： 1.000-1.012） were risk factors for SBP. Serum total cholesterol （OR=1.244， 95% CI： 1.095-1.412）， serum iron （OR=1.275， 95% CI： 1.114-1.460） and blood lead （OR=1.010， 95% CI： 1.004-1.015） were risk factors， while serum magnesium （OR=0.488， 95% CI： 0.266-0.894） acted as a protective factor for DBP. After adjusting for age， gender， BMI， waist-hip ratio， and smoking history， there was no significant difference in serum trace element levels between the hypertension and healthy control groups. 【Conclusion】 SBP is correlated with serum lead， while DBP is positively correlated with serum iron and lead， but negatively correlated with serum magnesium in normal healthy population. There was no significant difference in serum trace element content between hypertensive patients and healthy control group， but the conclusion still needs to be further verified.
RESUMEN
【Objective】 To explore the potential mechanism of Salvia miltiorrhiza and its active monomers in patients with coronary heart disease （CHD） complicated with depression or anxiety disorder based on network pharmacology. 【Methods】 We collected the clinical data of 147 patients with CHD admitted to our hospital from March to April 2021 and investigated biochemical examination， drug treatment and the use of Chinese herbal compound. The downstream targets of active monomers of Salvia miltiorrhiza were screened based on TCMSP， PubChem and SwissTargetPrediction databases， and depression or anxiety-related genes were mining in OMIM， GeneCards and TTD databases. Protein-protein interaction network and GO and KEGG gene enrichment analyses were performed by matching Chinese herbal compound with disease targets. Chinese herbal compound-target-disease network was built by Cytoscape. 【Results】 Shuxuening （44.9%）， Salviae miltiorrhiza （27.9%）， and Sofren injection （21.8%） were the most commonly used Chinese herbal or injections in the clinical treatment of CHD， and there was no difference in the frequency of use between genders. Network pharmacology showed that the active components of Salvia miltiorrhiza might act on neuroactive ligand-receptor binding， 5-hydroxytryptamine synapses and dopaminergic synapses and participate in the regulation of neurotransmitter transport， dopamine and catecholamine metabolism and stress response. Target-disease network analysis showed that many active components of Salvia miltiorrhiza interacted with catechol-O-methyltransferase， monoamine oxidase， 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor and opioid receptor， which may be the potential targets of Salvia miltiorrhiza in improving depression and anxiety. 【Conclusion】 Salvia miltiorrhiza is involved in the regulation of neurotransmitters and synaptic activities， thus making it a potential drug for the clinical treatment of CHD complicated with depression and anxiety disorder.
RESUMEN
【Objective】 To explore the correlation of the intake of different nutrients with the levels of serum lipids and uric acid. 【Methods】 Based on the data of China Health and Nutrition Survey （CHNS2009）， a total of 1 343 individuals were finally included by ID matching with demographic data， serological tests and dietary nutrition results. We compared serum lipids and uric acid levels between groups of different nutrients intake （group Q1-Q4） and conducted the correlation analysis. 【Results】 The total cholesterol （TC）， triglyceride （TG）， and low-density lipoprotein （LDL-C） in the men were significantly higher than those in the women， while high-density lipoprotein （HDL-C） was significantly lower in the men. The average intakes of daily energy， carbohydrate， fat and protein were significantly higher in the males than in the females. Intergroup comparisons and correlation analyses showed that total energy and protein intakes were positively correlated with TG （r=0.070 9，P=0.008 4；r=0.051 7，P=0.012 3）， while fat intake was positively correlated with TC （r=0.086 1，P=0.001 4）. The blood uric acid level was positively correlated with the intake of fat and protein （r=0.127 3，P<0.001；r=0.138 0，P<0.001）. The results of subgroup analysis of the males were consistent with those of the whole population. However， there was a significantly negative correlation between carbohydrate intake and blood uric acid level in the females （r=-0.107 9，P＝0.002 2）. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that TC， TG and uric acid were correlated with gender， age and intake of different nutrients. 【Conclusion】 The levels of blood uric acid and lipids are significantly higher in men than in women. Different types of dyslipidemia and hyperuricemia are related to different nutrient intakes in different genders and ages.
RESUMEN
【Objective】 To investigate the association of platelet/albumin ratio （PAR）， platelet/hemoglobin （PHR） and C-reactive protein/albumin （CAR） with diabetes mellitus. 【Methods】 Based on the data of China Health and Nutrition Survey （CHNS2009）， with gender and age matched by their ID， a total of 8 258 individuals with serological test results were finally included and were divided into diabetes group and control group according to the fasting blood glucose and HbA1c， and then the blood lipid and blood cell changes， PAR， PHR and CAR differences between groups were compared， and the correlation analysis of diabetes was performed. 【Results】 Compared with those in the control group， serum uric acid， total cholesterol， triacylglycerol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C） were significantly increased in diabetes group， while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C） was significantly decreased. Besides， there was no significant difference in PAR or PHR between the two groups， while CAR was significantly increased in diabetes （0.48±0.18 vs. 0.08±0.23， P<0.001）， and was positively correlated with the levels of fasting glucose （r=0.181 8， P<0.001）， HbA1c （r=0.186 6， P<0.001）， and HOMA-IR （r=0.188 1， P=0.003）. However， CAR was not an independent risk factor for diabetes. In addition， increased red blood cell count （B=1.324， 95% CI： 1.182-1.483， P<0.001） and leukocytes count （B=1.230， 95% CI： 1.166-1.298， P<0.001） may be independent risk factors for the incidence of diabetes. 【Conclusion】 CAR is correlated with diabetes mellitus， but it is not an independent risk factor. Dyslipidemia， elevated leukocytes and red blood cell counts may be independent risk factors for diabetes， but further study is needed.
RESUMEN
【Objective】 To investigate the clinical characteristics and potential mechanism of coronavirus disease 2019 （COVID-19） vaccine-related myocarditis. 【Methods】 We made a systematic literature retrieval based on PubMed to search for all reports on COVID-19 vaccine-related myocarditis published by August 31， 2021. A total of 29 reports involving 71 patients with myocarditis were enrolled after screening. The patients’ demographic data， vaccination， clinical manifestations， biochemical and imaging results， treatments， and outcomes were extracted and summarized. The patients were divided into prior COVID （n=12） and non-prior COVID （n=59） according to their previous medical history. 【Results】 COVID vaccine-related myocarditis was more common in men （91.5%） and after the second dose of mRNA vaccine （81.7%）. The average time to onset was 3 （1， 25） days， and the main symptoms included chest pain （94.4%）， fever （45.1%）， myalgia （26.8%）， and shortness of breath （16.9%）. Abnormal troponin level was present in almost all the patients， with a common elevation of C-reactive protein. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and colchicine were widely used in clinical treatment， and the symptoms of one-fifth of the patients were relieved after symptomatic therapy， with 1 to 2 weeks’ length of hospital stay. However， the risk of vaccine-related myocarditis was significantly increased in patients with previous COVID-19 infection， which was more common after the first dose of vaccine （58.3%） other than the second dose. And the clinical symptoms and outcomes were somewhat different from those without COVID-19 infection previously. 【Conclusion】 Myocarditis is one of the serious adverse events related to COVID-19 vaccine， with an overall relatively low incidence， mild clinical severity， and favorable prognosis. Vaccine-related myocarditis may be a combined result of primed immune system and individual susceptibility after infection with COVID-19.
RESUMEN
【Objective】 To investigate the negative emotions among university students during home quarantine under the epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) so as to provide scientific basis for psychological counseling. 【Methods】 We conducted an online questionnaire survey to collect 405 undergraduates’ and postgraduates’ DASS-21 scale scores and responses to epidemic prevention knowledge, and analyzed the university students’ negative emotions during the epidemic and influencing factors. 【Results】 Of the 405 students surveyed, 178 individuals (44.0%) had depression, 171(42.2%) felt anxious, and 119(29.4%) felt stressed. Individuals in the DASS21+ group spent much time on entertainment on the cell phone daily than those in the DASS21- group (P<0.001), and the degree of impact by COVID-19 on daily life was significantly higher (P<0.001). Correlation analysis showed that entertainment time on the cell phone, the severity of COVID-19, and the impact of the epidemic were positively related to DASS-21 scores, with correlation coefficients of 0.231, 0.143 and 0.259, respectively (all P<0.01). Binary logistic regression analysis found that mobile entertainment time for over 5 hours per day (OR=3.370, 95% CI: 1.369-8.294, P=0.008) was a risk factor for negative emotions during quarantine at home. 【Conclusion】 During quarantine at home in the epidemic of COVID-19, nearly half of university students are prone to breed negative emotions, like depression, anxiety or stress, which may be related to long-term mobile phone entertainment.

Objective To explore the role and relationship of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9 ) in risk stratification and prognosis assessment of non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS).Methods We recruited 114 patients with NSTE-ACS and classified them into three groups according to the GRACE risk stratification:high-risk,intermediate-risk and low-risk groups.Another 5 8 patients were recruited as controls.Arterial blood was collected before angiography for the measurement of serum NT-proBNP and MMP-9 .Gensini score was used to evaluate the degree of coronary artery stenosis.All the patients were followed up for 6 months and MACE was observed and recorded.Results ① The levels of lg NT-proBNP and MMP-9 significantly differed between the groups (P<0.05).② ROC curve analysis showed that lg NT-proBNP could predict MACE of NSTE-ACS;area under the curve was 0.795,the cutoff value was 2 .0 6 9 ,corresponding to the NT-proBNP value of 1 1 6 .5 6 ng/L.MMP-9 could predict MACE of NSTE-ACS;area under the curve was 0 .6 9 6 ,the cutoff value was 3 2 .4 9 ng/ml;both of the abnormal indexes could predict MACE with the sensitivity of 80.41%,specificity of 82.19%,and Youden’s index of 0.63.③ Cox regression analysis showed that abnormal MMP-9 and NT-proBNP levels were independently related to the incidence of MACE by the value of OR as 3.751.Conclusion MMP-9 and NT-proBNP may be used as serological indicators in risk stratification of NSTE-ACS. The combined use of NT-proBNP and MMP-9 increases the power of predicting MACE.
RESUMEN
Objective To study the relationship of the plasma levels of miRNA-491-5p in Han population in Shaanxi Province and the changes of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP ) of the target gene matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9 ) of miRNA-4 9 1-5 p (has-miR-4 9 1-5 p ) with the incidence risk and prognosis of premature coronary artery disease (pCAD)through the case-control design.Methods In this study,we made a consecutive recruitment of 270 pCAD cases in the case group and 300 cases in the control group.Using the polymorphism method of polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length (PCR-RFLP),target gene MMP-9 of has-miR-491-5p and rs1056628 genotypes was detected to compare the association between the variant genotypes and pCAD.Results In the changes of rs1056628C-A polymorphisms,compared with that of CC genotypes (the incidence was 42%),the risks of having coronary heart disease in the individuals carrying CA and AA genotypes were 31%,the difference was statistically significant (P=0.045).The risks of developing coronary heart disease in the individuals carrying CA and AA genotypes were reduced more significantly in the population with low total cholesterol (TC),and low low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C).Conclusion Target gene MMP-9 of has-miRNA-491-5p rs1056628C-A polymorphism is associated with the reduced incidence risk of pCAD,and carrying C alleles is an independent risk factor for pCAD.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the clinical significance of soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L ) and lipoprotein associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2 ) in the assessment of coronary artery severity and risk classification in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS).Methods Of the 9 6 patients with coronary heart disease diagnosed by coronary angiography,2 8 patients had stable angina pectoris (SAP),38 patients unstable angina pectoris (UAP)and 30 patients acute non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).Another 30 patients with non-coronary heart disease (NC)served as controls.The sCD40L and Lp-PLA2 levels were determined by enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA)method.The Gensini score was used to assess the severity of coronary artery and analyze the correlation with sCD40L and Lp-PLA2.The correlation of sCD40L and Lp-PLA2 with GRACE risk score was analyzed too.Results ① sCD40L was significantly higher in NSTEMI and UAP groups than in SAP and NC groups (P0 .0 5 )or SAP and NC groups (P>0 .0 5 ).Lp-PLA2 was significantly higher in NSTEMI group than in UAP,SAP and NC groups (P<0.05).Lp-PLA2 was significantly higher in UAP group than in SAP and NC groups (P<0.05).② We found that sCD40L had obvious correlation with Lp-PLA2 (r=0.284, P<0.01),Gensini score (r=0.213,P<0.05),and GRACE (r=0.224,P<0.05).Lp-PLA2 was significantly correlated with Gensini score (r=0.270,P<0.05),and GRACE (r=0.323,P<0.01).③ Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that Lp-PLA2 was independently associated with NSTE-ACS (P<0.05).Conclusion The sCD40L and Lp-PLA2 which were significantly elevated in NSTE-ACS are correlated with the severity of coronary artery disease.The two indexes indicate the instability of atherosclerotic plaque;thus they can be used as predictors of risk assessment in coronary heart disease.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the correlation of endothelial inflammation in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI)with no-reflow and severity of coronary lesion.Methods A total of 120 patients with AMI were all treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).The patients who had intraoperative no-reflow were in case group (n=40).The patients who were also treated by PCI but did not have no-reflow in the same period in our hospital served as the control group (n=80).According to the results of coronary angiography, no-reflow group patients were divided into three subgroups:single lesion group (n=14),two-lesion group (n=10), and three-lesion group (n=1 6 ).We monitored these patients’immediate postoperative endothelial microparticles (EMPs)and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1 )levels in both groups with flow cytometry and ELISA methods.Results In the case group,immediate postoperative EMPs and sICAM-1 levels in the blood circulation were significantly higher than those in the control group.EMPs area and sICAM-1 area under the curve in the case group were 0.755 and 0.701,which showed that EMPs and sICAM-1 levels had a good correlation with the occurrence of non-reflow in AMI patients after PCI.Gensini score and EMPs level rose with the increase of the lesion counts,and the level of EMPs was positively correlated with Gensini score.Conclusion In patients with AMI,the EMPs and sICAM-1 levels can well predict the occurrence of no-reflow and are of some value in predicting the severity of coronary lesion.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the correlation between arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase (ALOX15)gene polymorphism and its genetic predisposition to coronary heart disease (CHD)in Han population of Shaanxi Province so as to provide the basis for early diagnosis and prophylaxis of CHD.Methods The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)of ALOX15’s rs916055,rs2619112,and rs2664593 were measured by using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF)method in 105 CHD patients (CHD group)and 75 non-CHD patients (control group)who were matched in age and sex.Results The frequencies of genotypes and alleles of SNPs rs916055A/G in CHD group were significantly different from those in control group (P=0.000 1,P=0.000 1).The frequencies of genotypes and alleles of SNP rs2619112A/G in CHD group did not significantly differ from those in control group (P=0.134 2,P=0.143 8).The frequencies of genotypes of SNP rs2664593C/G in CHD group significantly differed from those in control group (P=0.002 7),but the frequencies of alleles were not significantly different (P=0.537 1).Logistic regression analysis indicated that the A allele of SNP rs916055 was an independent risk factor for CHD.Conclusion SNP rs916055 may be related to CHD and its A allele may be the genetic susceptibility gene for CHD.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the relationship of high sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6)and soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R)with the severity of clinical symptoms and coronary artery lesions in coronary heart disease (CHD)patients.Methods A total of 522 CHD patients were recruited and divided into three groups:stable angina pectoris (SAP),unstable angina pectoris (UAP)and acute myocardial infarction (AMI)groups.Another 102 healthy individuals served as normal controls (NCs).We calculated Gensini score according to the result of coronary angiography (CAG),collected clinical data and compared the groups. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to investigate the relationship of hs-CRP,IL-6 and sIL-6 R with Gensini score.Results The plasma hs-CRP,IL-6 levels were significantly higher and sIL-6R level was signficantly lower in SAP,UAP and AMI groups than in NC group (P<0 .0 5 ).There was a positive correlation between IL-6 level and Gensini score but a negative correlation between sIL-6 R and Gensini score presented by multiple linear regression analysis (P<0.05 ).Conclusion In CHD patients,plasma hs-CRP,IL-6 and sIL-6R levels are significantly related to the severity of clinical manifestations and coronary artery stenosis.These indicators may help predict the severity of CHD.
