Correlation Analysis of CML, sRAGE, and esRAGE and the Measure of Atherosclerosis of Coronary Heart Disease.

Abstract

Objective To investigate the correlation between CML, sRAGE, and esRAGE and the measure of atherosclerosis of coronary heart disease. Methods From June 2019 to December 2021, there were 100 patients in all suffering from coronary heart disease (CHD) selected as the observation group. On the basis of Gensini score, they were divided into mild group (Gensini score < 12 points), moderate group (12 points ≤ Gensini score ≤60 points), and severe group (Gensini score > 60). Apart from that, 50 normal people staying in our hospital for physical examination were chosen as the control group in the meantime. N in each group was detected and compared ε-Carboxymethyl lysine (CML), soluble advanced glycation end product receptor (sRAGE), and endogenous secretory advanced glycation end product receptor (esRAGE). Pearson correlation coefficient was adapted to assay the relevance between CML, sRAGE, and esRAGE, as well as the degree of atherosclerosis in CHD. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to during the evaluation of the diagnosis of CML, sRAGE, and esRAGE, as well as their combined detection of severe atherosclerosis in CHD. Results In contrast with the control group, the level of serum CML together with sRAGE in the observation group was considerably elevated, while the level of esRAGE appeared in a downward trend (P < 0.05). The level of serum CML and sRAGE was directly proportional to the measure of atherosclerosis in CHD, while the level of esRAGE was inversely proportional to the measure of atherosclerosis in CHD (P < 0.05). That is to say that serum CML and sRAGE were positive in matter of the measure of atherosclerosis in CHD, while esRAGE negatively appertains to the measure of atherosclerosis in CHD (P < 0.05). Serum CML, sRAGE, and esRAGE could effectively diagnose severe atherosclerosis in CHD, and the combined detection sensitivity (89.79%), specificity (77.16%), accuracy (86.12%), positive predictive value (86.63%), negative predictive value (88.59%), and area under ROC curve (AUC) (0.924) were higher (P < 0.05). Conclusion CML and sRAGE, as well as esRAGE, are bound up with the degree of atherosclerosis in CHD, which is conducive to clinical diagnosis and treatment.
