Objective To study the levels of soluble thrombomodulin (sTM)in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and evaluate its clinical significance. Method Measured the sTM levels with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay, and described the characteristics of coronary arteriography, risk factors of coronary heart disease, and adverse events in a case-control study of 48 ACS patients (ACS group)and 10 normal people (control group). Results The level of sTM in ACS group was (3.67±1.71) μg/L, and (2.34±0.43)μg/L in control group (P<0.05). The level of sTM in the patients of risk factors or impaired vessels number more than 2 increased significantly than those in the patients of risk factors or impaired vessols number inferior or equal to 2, (4.93±2.76) μg/Lvs (3.13±0.81) μg/L, P<0.05, (4.60± 2.83) μg/L vs (2.91±0.23) μg/L, P < 0.05 respectively. The incidence of cardiac events in the patients of sTM more than 3.2 μg/L (70.0%)was higher significantly than that in the patients of sTM inferior or equal to 3.2 μg/L(35.7%), P< 0.05. Conclusions The levels of sTM are valuable markers to evaluate the impaired degree and scope of endothelial cells in ACS. They are also associated with the number of risk factors, and useful in predicting the extent and prognosis of the disease.

Objective To investigate the correlation between type H hypertension and the development of coronary atherosclerosis.Methods From January 2015 to December 2016,three hundred and sixty patients with essential hypertension complicated with coronary atherosclerosis were treated in First Hospital of Shijiazhuang were selected,according to the level of serum homocysteine (Hcy),the patients were divided into the observation group (n =197 cases,Hcy ≥ 10 μ mol/L) and the control group (n =163 cases,Hcy＜10 μmol/L),all patients underwent coronary angiography and intravascular ultrasound.Results The cross-sectional area of extravascular elastic membrane (EEMCSA),plaque area (PA) and plaque burden(PB) of the observed group were (15.10±0.91) mm2,(8.80±0.99) mm2 and (62.03±3.20)％,wrere obviously higher than thoseat of the control group((13.72±0.96) mm2、(7.92±0.89) mm2、(56.87 ±3.37) ％),and the difference was statistically significant (t =14.079,、8.864,and 14.983,P＜0.05),and the minimum lumen cross section area (MLA) was (5.40 ±0.64) mm2,were obviously lower than that of the control group ((5.89 ± 0.52) mm2),and the difference was statistically significant (t =-7.937,P＜0.05);The Gensini score of the coronary artery in the observation group was (67.64± 13.19) points,which was significantly higher than that in the control group ((55.34± 12.20) points),and the difference was statistically significant (t =9.190,P＜0.05);the Serum Hcy were positively correlated with PA,PB and Gensini scores in the observation group (r =0.873,0.732and 0.856,P ＜ 0.05),which was negatively correlated with MLA (r =-0.773,P＜0.05).Conclusion There is a certain correlation between the severity of coronary atherosclerosis and the level of serum Hcy in patients with type H hypertension,which is worthy of further study.
