The effect of different doses of short-term atorvastatin on the concentration of plasma sCD163 in patients with acute coronary syndrome during perioperative period of PCI
Objective To investigate the effect of different-dose of atorvastatin on plasma levels of hemoglobin scavenger receptor(CD163) in patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS) during perioperative period of pereutaneous coronary intervention(PCI),to further discuss the inflammatory inhibition mechanism and the efficiency of short-term intensive statin treatment. MethodsA total of 60 ACS patients were randomly divided into loading dose of statin group(atorvastatin 80mg/d 2days before PCI,then 40mg/d after PCI,n=30) and conventional dose of statin group(atorvastatin 20mg/d before and after PCI,n=30).The plasma levels of sCD163 and lipids were measured before PCI and 18-24 hours after PCI. ResultsNo significant changes of lipid levels were observed in any group before and after treatment. After PCI,the levels of sCD163 in the two groups were decreased,but the loading dose of statin group decreased more obvious compared to before PCI (P<0.05), while the conventional dose of statin group show no significant difference between before and after PCI (P>0.05). ConclusionsEarly aggressive statin treatment in ACS patients can decrease the levels of sCD163 in a dose-dependent manner during perioperative period of PCI.
