1.Biological function of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 gene in coronary heart disease and its mediated primary regulatory network: a literature based secondary analysis
Chinese Critical Care Medicine 2019;31(4):434-438
Objective To explore the biological function of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) gene in coronary heart disease (CHD) and to establish a primary regulatory network mediated by ICAM-1 gene. Methods The databases were searched from January 1st 2006 to December 31st 2018, including Wanfang, CNKI, VIP, Google scholar and PubMed databases for published researches on clinical study of CHD gene ICAM-1. The experimental group was CHD patients, and the control group was healthy people. Meta-analysis was employed to analyze the relationship between ICAM-1 gene and CHD. Gene Ontology (GO) and KEGG Pathway database were employed to conduct function annotation and pathway analysis. Results A total of 8 papers were enrolled into this analysis, Meta-analysis showed that the level of ICAM-1 in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group [mean difference (MD) = 15.29, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 10.95-19.62, P < 0.000 01], surface ICAM-1 was significantly related with CHD. The GO analysis results showed that ICAM-1 molecular function mainly involved virus receptor activity, receptor activity, transmembrane signal receptor activity, protein binding, etc.; cell components mainly involve plasma membrane integral components, immune synapses, plasma membrane, etc.; biological processes mainly involve the positive regulation of cell adhesion, leukocyte adhesion, leukocyte migration and leukocyte adhesion, etc. A primary CHD regulatory network mediated by ICAM-1 gene was established based on KEGG Pathway database, and ICAM-1 was mainly expressed in endothelial cells, and further regulated the occurrence and development of CHD by promoting the proliferation of leukocytes. Conclusions ICAM-1 may regulate the occurrence and development of CHD by regulating the related biological processes of leukocytes. The successful establishment of the ICAM-1 mediated CHD regulatory network can lay a theoretical foundation for further exploring the specific regulatory role of ICAM-1 and other related genes in CHD occurrence.

Objective To observe the efficacy of ivabradine combined with levosimendan in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated with heart failure.Methods A total of 78 patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated with heart failure admitted to the hospital from May 1,2020 to December 31,2022 were selected and divided into control group(n = 39)and study group(n = 39)by random number table method.In addition to basic treatment,the control group received levosimendan,and the study group ivabradine and levosi-mendan.The treatment period of both groups was 4 weeks.Compare two groups of patients'vital signs,clinical curative effect and heart function index,serological indexes,inflammatory factors and security.Results Compared with before treatment,the systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure and heart rate of the two groups were decreased after treatment(P<0.05),and the systolic blood pressure,heart rate,diastolic blood pressure and heart rate of the study group were significantly decreased compared with the control group(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the total effective rate of the study group was significantly higher(P<0.05).Compared with before treatment,the levels of CO and LVEF were increased(P<0.05),while the levels of LVEDV and LVESV were decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the levels of CO and LVEF in the study group were higher(P<0.05),and the levels of LVEDV and LVESV in the study group were lower(P<0.05).Compared with before treatment,the levels of cTnI,sST2 and NT-proBNP in both groups were decreased after treatment(P<0.05),and the serum levels of cTnI,sST2 and NT-proBNP in the study group were significantly decreased compared with the control group(P<0.05).Tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),myeloperoxidase(MPO)and highly sensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)were all decreased after treatment in the two groups(P<0.05),and those in the study group were much lower(P<0.05)No difference between the incidence of adverse reactions to the total contrast the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Levosimendan combined with ivabadinehave a definite effect on patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated with heart failure for the improved cardiac function,reduced inflammation,regulated serum sST2,cTnI,and NT-proBNP level.It is also safe and reliable
