Clinical significance of simultaneous determination of serum creatine kinase isoenzyme and creatine kinase ratio and cardiac troponin I in disease condition judgment of patients with acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning

Abstract

Objective To investigate the changes of serum creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB) and creatine kinase (CK) ratio(CK-MB/CK) and cardiac troponin I(cTnI) simultaneously in patients with acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning (AOPP) and the clinical value in disease condition judgment.Methods Eight hundred and sixty-eight AOPP patients without disease history of heart,lung,brain,kidney,muscle and other connective tissue were extracted 4 ml of fasting venous blood to determine CK,CK-MB and cTnI simultaneously at 2,12,24,48,96 and 120 hours after poisoning,and the CK-MB/CK was calculated.There were 279 mild poisoning cases (mild poisoning group),289 moderate poisoning cases (moderate poisoning group) and 300 severe poisoning group (severe poisoning group) ; and 208 cases with intermediate myasthenia syndrome (IMS)(IMS group) and 660 cases without IMS (non-IMS group).The result was compared with 288 healthy people (control group) in the same period.Results ( 1 ) The CK,CK-MB and cTnI of mild,moderate and severe poisoning groups between 2 to 12 h,13 to 24 h,25 to 120 h after poisoning were significandy higher than those in control group,CK-MB/CK was obviously lower (P ＜ 0.01 ).The CK,CK-MB,cTnI and CK-MB/CK had significant differences between each two of mild,moderate and severe poisoning groups (P＜ 0.01 or ＜ 0.05).The CK,CK-MB and cTnI of IMS group in 2 to120 h after poisoning were significantly higher than those in non-IMS group,and CK-MB/CK was lower (P ＜ 0.05 or ＜ 0.01 ).In IMS group,the rates of sudden cardiac death (SCD) and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) were 23.08％(48/208),37.50％(78/208) respectively,while 4.24％(28/660),9.85％(65/660) in non-IMS group.The incidence of SCD and MODS of two groups had statistical significance (P ＜ 0.01 ).(2) According to IMS and non-IMS group,discriminant equation with independent variables of cTnI (X1), CK (X2) and CK-MB/CK (X3) was established:Y =-0.0014X1 + 0.0225X2 + 65.2376X3,F=21.4911,P ＜ 0.01.The discriminant critical value(Y0) was 2.8124.If Y ＜ 2.8124 belonged to IMS group and Y ≥2.8124 was in non-IMS group,the contribution rates of X1,X2 and X3 were 34.5％,25.4％ and 40.1％ respectively.The coincident rate of return was 91.26％.Conclusions CK-MB/CK change has negative correlation with poisoning degree of AOPP;cTnI level is positively correlated with AOPP poisoning degree.they may be used to assist the clinical classification,disease judgement and to guide the emergency,treatment and prognosis assessment of AOPP.The function equation with cTnI,CK and CK-MB/CK can be used as effective prediction indexes of IMS,MODS and SCD in early period.
