Objective To evaluate the value of glycogen phosphorylase isoenzyme BB (GPBB) in the diagnosis of early acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods The plasma levels of GPBB were mea-sured by sandwich ELISA in 115 patients with suspected AMI at admission within 6 hours after onset of chest pain and 55 normal healthy subjects. The plasma concent of cardiac troponin-Ⅰ (cTnI), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and myoglobin (MYO) was assayed at the same time by using corpuscle chemiluminescence. The patients were classified retrospectively into AMI group (n = 45) , unstable angina pectoris (UAP) group (n =40) , stable angina pectoris (SAP) group (n = 13) and non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP) group (n =17).The diagnostic validity was evaluated in terms of sensitivity and specificity. Results The diagnostic sensitivity of GPBB for AMI was 64.29 % within 3 hours and 88.89 % within 6 hours after onset of chest pain,which is significantly higher than that of cTnI (28.57 %, 60.00 %) and CK-MB (21.43 %, 64.44 % ). There was no significant difference in specificity among the four markers. The diagnostic accuracy of GPBB within 3hours and 6 hours (80.77 %, 89.57% ) was significantly higher than that of cTnI (61.54%, 81.74% ),CK-MB (50.00%, 75.65%) and MYO (73.08% ,73.91%). Conclusions GPBB seems to be a sensitive and specific biochemical cardiac marker for AMI in the early stage. Its diagnostic accuracy is higher than that of cTnI, CK-MB, MYO.

Aim To study the effect of emodin in Po-lygonum multiflorum on the expression of CYP450 isoenzymes in L02 hepatocytes and explore its mecha-nism of cytotoxicity. Methods L02 cells were treated with different concentrations of emodin. Cell viability was examined by MTS assay kit, and cell membrane injury was examined by detecting the release rate of lactate dehydrogenase( LDH) . The expression of cyto-chrome P450 mRNA was detected by real time PCR. Results The result of MTS assay showed that L02 cells viability was significantly reduced following expo-sure to emodin in a concentration and time dependent manner. The LDH release rate of L02 cells significant-ly increased after exposure to emodin for 48 h com-pared with the control group. On the mRNA level, compared with the control group,emodin had inductive effects on mRNA of each CYP450 enzyme, while had significant inductive effects on mRNA of CYP1 A1 and CYP1 B1 in a concentration and time dependent man-ner. Conclusion Emodin in Polygonum multiflorum may generate significant liver injury in L02 cells and has inductive effects on CYP450 enzyme activity.

Objective To study the CYP2C19 genotype in patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS) complicated with diabetes mellitus(DM)receiving percutaneous coronary intervension(PCI)by polymerase chain reaction(PCR),and to evaluate the efficacy of Ticagrelor in CYP2C19 gene polymorphism. Methods A total of 494 ACS patients with DM were enrolled. The patients were divided into routine treatment group and individual treatment group. Routine treatment group received 0.1 g/d aspirin/d and 75 mg/d of Clopidogrel. CYP2C19 gene polymorphism was examined in individual treatment group.(*1/*1)was classified into fast metabolic type,mutant heterozygous type(*1/*2,*1/*3)into intermediate metabolic type and mutant pure type (*2/*2,*2/*3,*3/*3) into slow metabolic type. Fast metabolic type received aspirin 0.1 g/d and Clopidogrel 75 mg/d,and intermediate and slow metabolic type received aspirin 0.1 g/d and Ticagrelor 90 mg bid for 12 months or more to observe the inci-dence of adverse cardiovascular events ,bleeding and other adverse reactions in 2 groups. Results The incidence of cardiac death ,recurrent myocardial infarction and angina pectoris ,stroke ,stent thrombosis and target vessel revascularization in routine treatment group was significantly higher than that in individual treatment group(P <0.05). There was no significant difference between two groups in terms of major bleeding and secondary bleeding (P > 0.05). The minimum bleeding rate was slightly higher in intermediate metabolic type in individual treatment group but without significantly difference when compared with that in fast metabolic type and slow metabolic type (both P>0.05). Conclusion Without elevating the risk of bleeding within 12 months,the efficacy of Ticagrelor is not affected by CYP2C19 gene polymorphism in patients with ACS complicated with DM after PCI.
