简介:目的探讨甲型H1N1流感患者心脏损害的特点。方法回顾性研究分析2009年7月至2010年1月期间确诊为甲型H1N1流感患者172例的临床资料,所有患者根据病情分为轻症组,重症组,危重症组,并收集非甲型H1N1流感患者21例作为对照。大部分患者接受分子生物学检测磷酸肌酸激酶,磷酸肌酸激酶同工酶,高敏C反应蛋白,并接受胸部X线摄片检查,计算心胸比。结果甲型H1N1流感多发生于青壮年患者,轻症患者较重症患者更年轻(P<0.05)。在危重症患者中,磷酸肌酸激酶,磷酸肌酸激酶同工酶,高敏C反应蛋白和心胸比均较其他组高(P<0.05或P<0.01)。1例死于心肌损害。结论与既往研究相符,2009甲型H1N1流感可以导致心肌损害,特别是在危重症患者中心肌损害较显著,从而将导致心脏扩大等损害,导致死亡率升高。

简介:目的:探讨血清转化生长因子(TGF-β1)和胰岛素样生长因子(IGF-1)水平对冠心病患者心功能的影响.方法:选择因胸痛住院患者88例分为急性心肌梗死(AMI)组、心绞痛(AP)组和对照组,填调查表,入院择日行选择性冠状动脉造影术,术前采股动脉血,以ABC双抗体夹心ELISA法检测血清TGF-β1和IGF-1浓度,入院2周内完成超声心动图,所有资料用SPSS10.0软件处理.结果:AMI患者与AP患者相比,血清TGF-β1浓度较低(P<0.05),IGF-1血清浓度较低(P<0.001);冠心病患者血清IGF-1水平与EF(P<0.05)和FS(P<0.02)正相关.结论:TGF-β1和IGF-1对冠心病患者具有某种保护作用,其中IGF-1能保护冠心病患者的心功能.
