Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of
Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection on the serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), myeloperoxidase (MPO), lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) level and the severity in patients with coronary heart disease, so as to provide references for clinical diagnosis and treatment of coronary heart disease.
METHODS A total of 165 cases of coronary heart disease patients from Dec. 2012 to Dec. 2013 in our hospital were chosen as the research objects. According to the
14C urea breath test results, patients were divided into Hp positive group (82 cases) and Hp negative group (83 cases). The hs-CRP, MPO, Lp-PLA2, white blood cell count and Gensini scores and other indicators for the objects were observed and compared. The data were analyzed by SPSS 19.0.
RESULTS The hs-CRP, MPO, Lp-PLA2, white blood cell count and Gensini score of patients in Hp positive group were (18.34±6.65) mg / L, (250.45±38.45) μg/L, (228.34±49.56) μg/L, (8.29 ± 3.45) 10
9/L and (59.43±5.55) points, which were significantly higher than patients in Hp negative group (
P<0.05).
CONCLUSION With the extent of Hp infection in patients with coronary artery disease, the patients serum inflammatory factors will rise, and the patients' conditions will be further intensified.
