[NGAL as a marker for some extrarenal complications in acute coronary syndrome].

Aim: To study the role of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) as a marker for extrarenal complications in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Materials And Methods: For 110 patients with ACS on days 1-3 of hospitalization, concentrations of NGAL, serum (s-NGAL) and urinary (u-NGAL) NGAL, and N-terminal fragment of pro-B natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) were measured, and transthoracic echocardiography was performed. Incidence of cardiovascular complications was determined during the stay in the hospital; hemodynamic parameters (systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate) were measured on admission.

The sampling of study included 172 patients with ischemic heart disease: 146 with acute coronary syndrome, including myocardial infarction (88 patients) and unstable stenocardia (58 patients); 26 patients with stable stenocardia functional class II-III. At the 1-3 day of hospitalization blood was taken of cubital vein. The mixed unstimulated saliva was selected.

[BIOMARKER CONTENT AND ROLE IN HOSPITAL PERIOD OF ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME].

The study involved 172 patients with coronary heart diseases (CHD) of whom 146 presented with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) including 88 with myocardial infarction (MI), 58 with unstable angina (UA) and 26 with FC II-III stable angina (SA). Interleukin (IL-6, 10), natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels in blood and 6-hydroxymelatonin level in urine were determined on days 1-3 after hospitalization. These daytime values in ACS were higher than in SA whereas the melatonin level at night was higher in SA than in ACS.

[The acoustic indicator of saliva under stress].

The situation of stress affects various organs and systems that results in development of functional disorders and/or somatic diseases. As a result, different noninvasive, including salivary, techniques of diagnostic of stress conditions are in the process of development. The dynamics of acoustic indicator of saliva is studied during the period of passing the exams.

[The role of necrosis and inflammation markers in prognostication of acute coronary heart disease].

With the incessant growth of cardiovascular mortality, mainly due to myocardial infarction makes prognostication of acute coronary syndrome a principal goal of clinical practice. Biochemical markers (creatine phosphokinase-MB and troponins) are extensively used for diagnostics and prediction of acute coronary heart syndrome (ACS). However, drawbacks of necrosis markers necessitate the search for new ones identifiable at early stages of atherosclerotic plaque instability.
