Abstract:
Objective:To explore the relationship between lipid metabolism molecules in plasma and carotid atherosclerotic plaques,traditional cardiovascular risk factors and possible dietary related factors.Methods:Firstly,among 1 312 community people from those who participated in a 10-year follow-up study of subclinical atherosclerosis cohort in Shijingshan District,Beijing,85 individuals with 2 or more carotid soft plaques or mixed plaques and 89 healthy individuals without plaques were selected according to the inclusive and the exclusive criteria(＜70 years,not having clinical cardiovascular disease and other diseases,etc.).Secondly,10 cases and 10 controls were randomly selected in the above 85 and 89 individuals respectively.Carotid plaques were detected using GE Vivid i Ultrasound Machine with 8L de-tector.Lipid metabolism molecules were detected by high performance liquid chromatography-mass spec-trometry.The detection indexes included 113 lipid metabolism molecules.Traditional cardiovascular risk factors were collected by unified standard questionnaires,and dietary related factors were collected by main dietary frequency and weight scale.The difference of lipid metabolism molecules between the case group and the control group was analyzed by Wilcoxin rank test.In the control group,the Spearman cor-relation method was used to analyze the correlation between statistically significant lipid metabolism molecules and traditional cardiovascular risk factors and dietary factors.Results:Among the 113 lipid metabolism molecules,53 lipid metabolism molecules were detected.C24∶0 sphingomyelin(SM),C22∶0/C24∶0 ceramide molecules,C18∶0 phosphoethanolamine(PE)molecules,and C18∶0/C18∶2(Cis)phosphatidylcholine(PC)were significantly higher in the carotid atherosclerotic plaque group than in the control group.The correlation analysis showed that C24∶0 SM was significantly positively correlated with low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C,r=0.636,P＜0.05),C18∶2(Cis)PC(DLPC)was sig-nificantly positively correlated with systolic pressure(r=0.733,P＜0.05),C18∶0 PE was significantly positively correlated with high sensitivity C-response protein(r=0.782,P＜0.01),C22∶0,C24∶0 ce-ramide and C18∶0 PE were negatively correlated with vegetable intake(r=-0.679,P＜0.05;r=-0.711,P＜0.05;r=-0.808,P＜0.01),C24∶0 ceramide was also negatively correlated with beans food intake(r=-0.736,P＜0.05)in the control group.Conclusion:The increase of plasma C24∶0 SM,C22∶0,C24∶0 ceramide,C18∶0PE,C18∶2(Cis)PC(DLPC),C18∶0PC(DSPC)may be new risk factors for human atherosclerotic plaques.These molecules may be related to blood lipid,blood pres-sure or inflammatory level and the intake of vegetables and soy products,but the nature of the association needs to be verified in a larger sample population.
