Background Sirtuins may act in many cellular processes like apoptosis, DNA repair and lipid/glucose metabolism. Experimental studies suggested some sirtuin types may have protective effects against endothelial dysfunction, atherosclerosis, cardiac hypertrophy and reperfusion injury. Data about sirtuins in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients are scarce. Objectives To investigate temporal changes of serum sirtuin 1,3 and 6 levels in AMI patients; to compare the serum sirtuin 1,3 and 6 levels between AMI patients and control subjects; and to investigate the association of serum sirtuin 1,3 and 6 levels with prognostic markers of AMI. Methods Forty patients with AMI and 40 patients with normal coronary arteries were included. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), serum proBNP, CRP, sirtuin1, sirtuin 3 and sirtuin 6 levels were processed. Peak troponin T levels, GRACE score, first day / second day sirtuin levels were recorded of AMI patients. A p value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results Serum sirtuin 1,3 and 6 levels in AMI patients were similar to those in normal coronary patients. No temporal change in serum sirtuin 1,3 and 6 levels were found in AMI course. No correlation was evident between the sirtuin levels and the following parameters: proBNP, CRP, peak troponin and LVEF. Baseline sirtuin 1 and 6 levels were positively correlated with reperfusion duration. Baseline sirtuin 3 levels were negatively correlated with GRACE score. Conclusion Serum sirtuin 1,3 and 6 levels in AMI patients were similar to those in normal coronary patients. This study does not represent evidence of the possible protective effects of sirtuin1, 3 and 6 in AMI patients.
Fundamento: Sugere-se que a serglicina tenha funções importantes na estabilização da fibrina e inflamação, mas há informações limitadas sobre seu valor clínico para a doença cardíaca aterosclerótica.Objetivo: O objetivo do presente estudo é descobrir os níveis séricos de serglicina em pacientes com infarto agudo do miocárdio e nos indivíduos do grupo controle; e investigar a associação entre os níveis de serglicina com marcadores de inflamação e marcadores de tamanho do infarto. Métodos: A população do estudo consistiu em 75 pacientes com infarto do miocárdio com supradesnivelamento do segmento ST (IAMCSST) e 57 pacientes com artérias coronárias normais (NCA) (grupo controle). As características dos pacientes, os níveis séricos de serglicina, os níveis de proteína C-reativa ultrassensível (PCR-us), os níveis máximos de troponina T e outros parâmetros bioquímicos foram registrados. O valor de p<0,05 foi considerado estatisticamente significativo. Resultados: O grupo controle consistiu em indivíduos mais jovens e que fumam menos do que os do grupo IAMCSST. O número de mulheres no grupo controle foi maior do que no grupo IAMCSST. Os níveis séricos de serglicina foram significativamente maiores no grupo IAMCSST do que no grupo controle (102,81±39,42 vs. 57,13±32,25, p<0,001). As análises de correlação revelaram uma correlação positiva significativa entre a serglicina e a troponina (correlação de postos de Spearman: 0,419; p<0,001) e entre a serglicina e a proteína C-reativa ultrassensível (correlação de postos de Spearman: 0,336; p<0,001). A análise de regressão logística multivariada demonstrou que os níveis séricos de serglicina apresentaram-se independentemente associados com IAMCSST. Usando um nível de corte de 80,47 µg/L, o nível de serglicina foi preditor da presença de IAMCSST com uma sensibilidade de 75,7% e especificidade de 68,4%. Conclusão: Os níveis séricos de serglicina apresentaram-se significativamente maiores no grupo IAMCSST do que no grupo controle. Os níveis de serglicina sérica mostraram-se positivamente correlacionados com os níveis de proteína C-reativa ultrassensível e troponina.
Introduction: Inflammation and oxidative stress are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Parameters derived from exercise electrocardiography (ECG) test, such as Duke treadmill score and heart rate recovery (HRR), have prognostic importance and can be used to predict cardiovascular risk. Endocan and thiol/disulfide homeostasis are emerging biomarkers that reflect the inflammatory and oxidative status. The aim of this study was to investigate serum thiol/disulfide homeostasis and endocan levels in an exercise ECG testing patient cohort and to evaluate the association of these markers with Duke treadmill score and HRR. Patients and Methods:Patients who underwent diagnostic exercise ECG test were divided into two groups according to Duke treadmill score and HRR. Serum endocan levels and thiol/disulfide homeostasis were compared between high and low/intermediate Duke treadmill score groups and blunted and normal HRR groups.Results: Serum endocan levels were similar between the groups according to Duke treadmill score and HRR. Thiol/disulfide ratio was significantly lower in patients with blunted HRR than in those with normal HRR. Serum native thiol levels, total thiol levels, and total thiol/disulfide ratio were significantly elevated in patients with a high Duke treadmill score than in those with low/intermediate Duke treadmill score. Native thiol levels and total thiol levels were significantly correlated with Duke treadmill score. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that hypertension and diabetes were independent predictors of blunted HRR, whereas hypertension and low endocan levels were those of low/intermediate Duke treadmill score. Conclusion:Serum thiol levels are correlated with Duke treadmill score, and low endocan levels are associated with low/intermediate Duke treadmill score.Key Words: Inflammation; oxidative stress; Duke score; heart rate recovery; thiol/disulfide homeostasis; endocan Tanısal Egzersiz Elektrokardiyografi Testi Yapılan Hastalarda Serum Tiyol Disulfid Dengesi ve Endokan Düzeyleri ÖZETGiriş: İnflamasyon ve oksidatif stres artmış kardiyovasküler risk ile ilişkilidir. Duke koşu bandı skoru ve kalp hızı toparlanması (KHT) gibi egzersiz elektrokardiyografi (EKG) testinden türetilen parametreler prognostik öneme sahiptir ve kardiyovasküler risk tahmini için kullanılabilir.
