The clinical significance of a myeloperoxidase (MPO) gene polymorphism and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression in cirrhotic patients with hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) was explored. Enrolled subjects were divided into three groups according to their disease/health conditions: the HPS group (cirrhotic patients with HPS; n=63), the non-HPS group (cirrhotic patients without HPS; n=182), and the control group (healthy subjects without liver disease; n=35). The distribution of the MPO -463 G/A genotype and its relationship with iNOS expression in a typical cell block from ascitic fluid were detected by immunohistochemistry and polymerase chain reaction-restricted fragment length polymorphism analysis (PCR-RFLP). In the HPS group, the partial pressure of oxygen in blood and ascitic fluid was significantly decreased (8.95+/-1.58 kPa and 6.81+/-0.95 kPa, respectively; both P<0.01), while the partial pressure of carbon dioxide significantly increased (4.62+/-0.20 kPa and 5.92+/-0.45 kPa, respectively; P<0.01). MPO and iNOS levels were significantly increased in the HPS group as compared with the non-HPS group. These increases were even more remarkable in ascitic fluid (41.36+/-11.62 and 13.23+/-4.81 mug/L; 10.27+/- 3.20 and 4.95+/-1.12 mug/L) than in blood (16.66+/-5.24 and 4.87+/-1.73 mug/L; 5.79+/-2.31 and 2.35+/-0.84 mug/L). The distribution of the MPO genotypes GG, GA, and AA were 76.2%, 22.2% and 1.6% in the HPS group, and 57.7%, 37.9% and 4.4% in the non-HPS group (P<0.05). The expression of iNOS was significantly higher in patients with the G alleles (G/G and G/A) (61.54%, 48/78) than in patients with A alleles (G/A and A/A) (38.46%, 30/78) (P<0.01). It was suggested that the expression levels of iNOS and MPO were correlated with HPS-induced hypoxemia. The MPO-463 G/A mutation might be a protective factor that prevents the development of HPS. The MPO might be involved in the regulation of iNOS expression. In humans, MPO pathways, the iNOS/NO system, and their interaction might have an impact on the occurrence and development of HPS.

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness of heart rate deceleration capacity (DC) measurement in predicting the car-diotoxicity of malignant tumor patients treated with epirubicin-based chemotherapy. Methods:The clinical medical records, including CK-MB and cTnI levels and dynamic electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters before and after each chemotherapy cycle, of 140 patients treated with epirubicin-based chemotherapy were analyzed. Patients were divided into the DC>4.5 ms group and the DC≤4.5 ms group based on the calculated DC values. The CK-MB and cTnI levels and the dynamic ECG parameters of the two groups were compared af-ter two and four cycles of chemotherapy. Results:Patients in the two groups exhibited no statistically significant difference in their rele-vant clinical and pathological data before receiving chemotherapy (P>0.05). However, after four cycles of chemotherapy, the DC≤4.5 ms group showed a significantly greater increase in serum CK-MB and cTnI concentrations over the pre-chemotherapy levels compared with the DC>4.5 ms group. After two and four cycles of chemotherapy, the DC≤4.5 ms group also exhibited a significantly greater in-crease in mean heart rate (beats/min) and supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmia counts (times/24 h) over the pre-chemotherapy values compared with the DC>4.5 ms group (P<0.05). After four cycles of chemotherapy, 23 cases showed abnormally elevated cTnI levels in the DC≤4.5 ms group. In this group, patients with elevated cTnI level exhibited no statistically significant difference in CK-MB and cTnI concentrations, mean heart rates, and supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmia counts compared with those with nor-mal cTnI level before chemotherapy (P>0.05). However, the DC values of patients with elevated cTnI were significantly lower than those with normal cTnI level (P<0.05). Conclusion:The risk of epirubicin-induced cardiotoxicity increased with decrease in DC value. The DC test was shown to be an effective predictor of the risk of epirubicin-induced cardiotoxicity.
