Relationship between serum inflammatory response cytokines and the change of plaque properties in patients with H-type hypertension complicated by carotid atherosclerosis
Objective:To study the relationship between serum inflammatory response cytokines and the change of plaque properties in patients with H-type hypertension complicated by carotid atherosclerosis.Methods: Patients who were diagnosed with H-type hypertension complicated by carotid atherosclerosis in Yulin Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine between May 2014 and December 2016 were selected as group A, patients with H-type hypertension complicated by carotid atherosclerosis and normal Hcy levels were selected as group B, patients with carotid atherosclerosis and normal blood pressure levels and Hcy levels were selected as group C, and healthy volunteers during the same period were selected as control group. Serum levels of inflammatory response cytokines and plaque property-related cytokines were detected.Results: Serum Hcy, sICAM-1, MCP-1, YKL-40, IL-6, PTX3, FGF23, MMP9 and Caspase-3 levels of group A, group B and group C were significantly higher than those of group D, serum Hcy, sICAM-1, MCP-1, YKL-40, IL-6, PTX3, FGF23, MMP9 and Caspase-3 levels of group A and group B were significantly higher than those of group C, and serum Hcy, sICAM-1, MCP-1, YKL-40, IL-6, PTX3, FGF23, MMP9 and Caspase-3 levels of group A were significantly higher than those of group B; serum Hcy, sICAM-1, MCP-1, YKL-40, IL-6, PTX3, FGF23, MMP9 and Caspase-3 levels of group A with vulnerable plaques were significantly higher than those of patients with stable plaques. Serum Hcy, sICAM-1, MCP-1, YKL-40 and IL-6 levels of group A were positively correlated with PTX3, FGF23, MMP9 and Caspase-3 levels.Conclusion: Serum inflammatory response cytokine secretion increases in patients with H-type hypertension complicated by carotid atherosclerosis, and it can result in the change in plaque properties and the decrease in stability.
