Objective To assess value of serum level of ischemia modified albumin (IMA) in diagnosis for myocardial ischemia of coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods Seventy-two patients with clinically suspected myocardial ischemia of CAD admitted to The First People's Hospital of Hangzhou during November 2009 to May 2010 ready for undergoing coronary angiography, the gold standard for diagnosis of CAD, were randomly selected for the study. The patients were divided into CAD and non-CAD groups based on their coronary angiography. Serum level of IMA was determined with cobalt-albumin binding ( ACB) assay before coronary angiography, which served as diagnostic standard for CAD. Logistic regression analysis method was used to evaluate varied levels of IMA with area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUCROC) in diagnosis for myocardial ischemia of CAD. Results Mean level of IMA was (97 ±24) U/ml and (81 ±15) U/ml for CAD group (n =51) and non-CAD group (n =21), respectively. Sensitivity and specificity of a cut-off value of IMA 83.69 U/ml in diagnosis for myocardial ischemia of CAD was 80 percent and 57 percent, respectively, with a predictive value of a positive test 82 percent and that of a negative test 55 percent, respectively, from AUCROC. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that both hypertension (P=0. 022, 6 = 1.421, OR=4. 141) and level of IMA (P=0.003, b= 1.780, OR=5.928) were independent predictors for CAD. Conclusions Sensitivity, specificity and predictive value of a positive test of the level of IMA are relatively high in diagnosis for myocardial ischemia of CAD, which is an independent predictor of it.

BACKGROUND:Due to limitations of the physicochemical properties of soft denture liner material itself, whisker has been added in the soft lining material in recent years, so as to enhance its mechanical properties. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of different additive amount of anhydrous calcium sulfate whisker on the mechanical function of self-curing soft denture liner. METHODS: There were six groups in this experiment. Anhydrous calcium sulfate whisker at the mass fraction of 0 (control), 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% was respectively added into self-curing soft liner materials, 10 test specimens in each group, a total of 60 test specimens. The shear bond strength, Shore hardness and tensile strength were detected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: With the increasing amount of the anhydrous calcium sulfate whisker, the Shore hardness of the soft lining material was increased continuously, and the tensile strength was increased firstly and then reduced. When 3% anhydrous calcium sulfate whisker was added, the bond strength and tensile strength of soft lining material reached the peak. Taken together, the mechanical properties of the soft lining materials became perfect when 3% anhydrous calcium sulfate whisker was added. These results demonstrate that anhydrous calcium sulfate whisker may affect the mechanical properties of self-curing soft liner.
