About

To investigate the relationship betweeen plasma S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) levels and endothelial dysfunction, we plan to enroll approximately 150 patients with high risk of cardiovascualr disease,who will be measaured the flow-mediated dilation by B-ultrasound, and then measaured the plasma levels of methionine metabolites, such as SAH, SAM, and analyze the association.

Full description

To investigate the relationship betweeen plasma S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) levels and endothelial dysfunction, we plan to enroll approximately 150 patients with high risk of cardiovascualr disease,who will be measaured the flow-mediated dilation by B-ultrasound, and then use HPLC-MS/MS to measaure the plasma levels of methionine metabolites, such as SAH, SAM, and use methylated specifical PCR to detect the promoter DNA methylation of p66shc, and use ELISA kits to measure the plasma ROS levels of CVD patients, such as MDA, 8-iso-prostaglandin F2a, and finally analyze the association between SAH, ROS levels, promoter DNA methylation of p66shc, and flow-mediated dilation.

Enrollment: 50 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 60 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• patients who have stable clinical conditions, except for acute coronary syndromes, and the availability of measurement of flow-mediated dilation, or have more than three cardiovascular traditional risk factors, such as smoking, alcohol use, obesity, hypertesion, diabetes, family history, and so on.

Exclusion criteria

• critical illness or hemodynamic instability other than acute coronary syndromes, surgery, or trauma within the previous month, known cancer, hepatic failure or hepatitis, or the use of drugs, such as anticancer agents, which would affect plasma tHcy concen-trations.
