Expression and influence of pentraxin-3, HbAlc and ApoA1/ApoB in serum of patients with acute myocardial infarction combined with diabetes mellitus type 2.

Expression and influence of pentraxin-3, HbAlc and ApoA1/ApoB in serum of patients with acute myocardial infarction combined with diabetes mellitus type 2. Exp Ther Med. 2018 May;15(5):4395-4399 Authors: Zhu Y, Wang X, Wang W, Wang H, Zhang F Abstract The present study investigated the clinical significance of changes in levels of hypersensitive plasma pentraxin-3 (PTX3), hemoglobin A1c (HbAlc) and apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA1)/apolipoprotein B (ApoB) on patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM). After admission, 100 patients diagnosed with AMI combined with T2DM were selected as Group A. According to the level of fasting blood glucose (FBG), they were then subdivided into Group A1 (n=44) with FBG ≥13.0 mmol/l and Group A2 (n=56) with FBG <13.0 mmol/l. A total of 100 hospitalized patients with AMI in People's Hospital of Dongying (Dongying, China) were collected as Group B, and 100 healthy people receiving physical examination in the Physical Examination Center of People's Hospital of Dongying were selected as Group C. Serum PTX3, HbAlc and ApoA1/ApoB of all the study participants were tested, and diseased coronary artery vessels were divided into single-, double- and triple-vessel lesions according to their numbers. Logistic regression analysis was performed for the number of diseased coronary artery vessels and each index. The level of PTX3 in Group A1 was higher than that in Group A2; th...
