Objective:To investigate the association between serum lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2(LP-PLA2)and coronary atherosclerosis. Methods:A total of 119 inpatients from the Second Affiliated Hospital of NMU were selected in this study. Eighty-three patients with coronary atherosclerosis were included in the coronary lesion group,and 36 people without coronary atherosclerosis were included in the negative group. LP-PLA2 was detected by enzyme kinetic method,high sensitive C-reaction protein(hs-CRP)was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),and the level of D-Dimer was detected by immune turbidimetry. The patients in the case group were divided into three groups including 1 branches,2 or 2 branches lesion + left main lesion,and 3 or 3 branches lesion according to the number of diseased coronary artery. The severity of coronary artery lesion was evaluated by the Gensini integrations. Results:The serum levels of LP-PLA2,hs-CRP and D- Dimer in the case group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P < 0.05). The levels of LP-PLA2 and hs-CRP were significantly different between patients with different severity of coronary lesions(P < 0.05). Furthermore,Pearson correlation analysis showed that LP-PLA2 and hs-CRP had a low-level positive correlation with Gensini score(r=0.418,r=0.365,P < 0.05). Conclusion:The levels of serum LP-PLA2,hs-CRP and D-Dimer were correlated with coronary atherosclerosis. For patients with coronary atherosclerosis,serum levels of LP-PLA2 and hs-CRP can only provide a limited reference value in assessing the extent of coronary artery lesions.
