[PMID: 38771512 PMCID: PMC11109033 DOI: 10.1186/s43044-024-00489-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a measure of systemic inflammation, whereas Heart type fatty acid protein (HFABP) is a cytosolic protein released early after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The aim of this research study is to determine whether NLR and H-FAB are useful in predicting the prognosis in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) 48 h after admission. This is a prospective observational study conducted on 97 patients who had been admitted to emergency room with ST-elevation myocardial infarction in their ECG in a tertiary care centre of south India. The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio was measured at the time of admission, 24th hour and 48th hour, and then compared with the outcome. To determine their significance in the MI episode, troponin-I and H-FABP were also measured. RESULTS A significant correlation was found in the final outcomes of patients and the NLR at the time of admission and at 48 h (p = 0.01). Additionally, a substantial correlation between NLR and various degrees of LV dysfunction was also observed (p = 0.01). H-FABP was found to be positive in all 97 of the patients examined, whereas Troponin-I was only found to be positive in 56.7%. CONCLUSION The study's findings, indicated strong correlations between NLR and LVEF, indicated that NLR might serve as an early predictor of cardiac events which could be either poor prognosis or higher mortality. This research found that H-FABP may serve as an early MI diagnostic marker.

[PMID: 38500033 PMCID: PMC10949622 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-024-02491-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2023] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 03/20/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of low-dose S-ketamine on marker of myocardial injury (BNP, hs-cTnT and HFABP) after thoracoscopic lobectomy in patients aged 70 to 85. METHODS One hundred patients (four cases excluded) aged 70-85 years, with body mass index 18-24 kg·m-2 and American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status II-III, scheduled for elective lobectomy from April 2022 to April 2023, were selected. The patients were divided into two groups by a random number table method, namely, the low-dose S-ketamine combined with GDFT group (group S) and the control group (group C), with 48 cases in each group. In group S, a low dose of S-ketamine (0.2 mg/kg) was given 1 min before intubation, and the maintenance dose was 0.12 mg·kg-1·h-1. Fluid therapy, guided by cardiac index (CI), changes in stroke volume (△SV), and other dynamic indicators, was used for rehydration during the operation. Group C was given the same amount of normal saline (0.2 mg/kg) 1 min before intubation, and the same rehydration therapy was adopted during the operation. The mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) of the two groups were observed and recorded immediately after entering the operating room (T0), immediately after intubation (T1), immediately after the beginning of one-lung ventilation (OLV) (T2), immediately after the beginning of surgery (T3), immediately after the end of OLV (T4), and at the end of surgery (T5). The intraoperative fluid intake and output and the use of vasoactive drugs were recorded. The plasma levels of heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (HFABP), high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-cTnT), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were recorded 24 h before operation and 24 and 48 h after operation. Visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores at rest were recorded at 2 (V1), 6 (V2), 12 (V3), 24 (V4), and 48 h (V5) after operation, and the occurrence of myocardial ischemia during hospitalization was noted. RESULTS Compared with group C, MAP was significantly higher at T1-T5 in group S (P < 0.05), and the plasma concentrations of IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, BNP, hs-cTnT, and HFABP were significantly lower at 24 and 48 h after operation (P < 0.05). The VAS pain scores at 2, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after operation, the number of effective patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) compressions, and the total number of PCIA compressions within 48 h after operation were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). Compared with group C, The hospitalization days, and the incidence of postoperative myocardial ischemia in group S were lower (P < 0.05). There were no significant intergroup differences in urine volume, extubation time, the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation, bleeding volume, colloid infusion volume, total fluid infusion volume, and the incidence of rescue analgesia. CONCLUSIONS Low-dose S-ketamine can reduce the levels of hs-cTnT, HFABP, and BNP in older patients after pulmonary lobectomy, which has a positive effect on preventing myocardial injury. TRIAL REGISTRATION This study was registered on CHICTR (registration No. ChiCTR2300074475). Date of registration: 08/08/2023.

Abstract
Fatty-acid-binding proteins (FABPs) serve a crucial role in the metabolism and transport of fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands as an intracellular protein family. They are also recognized as a critical mediator in the inflammatory and ischemic pathways. FABPs are found in a wide range of tissues and organs, allowing them to contribute to various disease/injury developments that have not been widely discussed. We have collected and analyzed research journals that have investigated the role of FABPs in various diseases. Through this review, we discuss the findings on the potential of FABPs as biomarkers for various diseases in different tissues and organs, looking at their expression levels and their roles in related diseases according to available literature data. FABPs have been reported to show significantly increased expression levels in various tissues and organs associated with metabolic and inflammatory diseases. Therefore, FABPs are a promising novel biomarker that needs further development to optimize disease diagnosis and prognosis methods along with previously discovered markers.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate heart-fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) leakage from cardiomyocytes as a quantitative measure of cell membrane damage and to test healing by Resolvin E1 (RVE1) as a potential therapeutic for patients with inflammatory diseases (cardiovascular disease and comorbidities) with high morbidity and mortality. Our quantitative ELISA assays demonstrated H-FABP as a sensitive and reliable biomarker for measuring cardiomyocyte damage induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and healing by RvE1, a specialized pro-resolving mediator (SPM) derived from the Omega-3 fatty acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), a dietary nutrient that balances inflammation to restore homeostasis. RvE1 reduced leakage of H-FABP by up to 86%, which supports our hypothesis that inflammation as a mechanism of injury can be targeted for therapy. H-FABP as a blood biomarker was tested in 40 patients admitted to Boston Medical Center for respiratory distress, (20 patients with and 20 patients without COVID infection). High levels of H-FABP correlated with clinically diagnosed CVD, diabetes, and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in both patient groups. The level of H-FABP indicates not only CVD damage but is a valuable measure for patients with increased inflammation disease comorbidities.

[PMID: 37168777 PMCID: PMC10165047 DOI: 10.6026/97320630018506] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2022] [Revised: 06/30/2022] [Accepted: 06/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
It is of interest to document the point-of-care test using heart-type fatty-acid binding protein (H-FABP) in comparison with CK-MB, Troponin T and hsCRP. This is a more sensitive and specific cardiac biomarker than cTnT and CK-MB, and it has a higher diagnostic effectiveness for detecting early acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The case-control study enrolled 220 participants (110 myocardial infarction patients as cases and 110 healthy subjects as control) > 18 years of either sex after ethical clearance and informed consent form. The study conducted was conducted in the OPD and IPD of Medicine and Biochemistry Department at Moti Lal Nehru Medical College and Swaroop Rani Nehru Hospital Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh; Index Medical College & Hospital, Malwanchal University, India. The amount of H-FABP, CKMB and cTnT was measured using the Sandwich ELISA method and hs-CRP was evaluated using the immune-turbidimetry method. H-FABP correlation with selected markers (CK-MB, hs CRP and TnT) and CK-MB was significant. A positive correlation (r=0.2 to 0.29) was found when H-FABP was compared with CK-MB (p<0.05). Similar positive correlation was found in CK-MB with cTnT. H-FABP is a useful cardiac marker for the early diagnosis of young AMI and thus prediction of myocardial injury is possible. H-FABP compared with CK-MB showed positive correlation. CK-MB with cTnT also showed statistically significant relation. Thus, H-FABP and CK-MB, as well as the correlation between CK-MB and TnT, reflects utility in early-stage diagnosis of myocardial injury.

Abstract
CONTEXT Myocardial cell death occurs within hours following the onset of myocardial ischaemia and its chief cause is atherosclerosis. There is a link between vitamin D3 deficiency and many cardiovascular risk factors. OBJECTIVE This study compared the effect of vitamin D3 on early biomarkers of myocardial injury, to that of atorvastatin. METHODS Diabetic hyperlipidaemia was induced in Wistar rats, which were divided into 3 groups: diabetic hyperlipidaemic control, diabetic hyperlipidaemic rats treated with atorvastatin and diabetic hyperlipidaemic rats treated with vitamin D3. Blood glucose, glycated haemoglobin and lipid profile were evaluated. Markers of myocardial injury were examined including cardiac troponin, heart fatty acid binding protein (HFABP) and C-terminal pro-endothelin-1 (CT-pro-ET-1). RESULTS Vitamin D3 and atorvastatin intake improved lipid profile and glucose homeostasis, and reduced levels of predictive biomarkers of myocardial injury. CONCLUSION Vitamin D3 can be used in a suitable dose as a safe and protective candidate against myocardial injury.

Abstract
Objective An early rule in (high specificity and high PPV) and early rule out (high sensitivity and high NPV) is essential for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction (AMI) to provide better utilization of resources, cost-effectiveness, and to reduce mortality. Methods Consecutive chest pain patients (n=80) with symptoms indicative of coronary artery disease reported to the emergency room within 6 hours after onset of symptoms. An alternate Dual Marker Approach (DMA; both Heart-type Fatty Acid Binding Protein (H-FABP) and High sensitive Troponin-I (hsTnI) at 0 h) was compared to the Double Sampling approach (DSA; hsTnI at 0 h and 3 h (ESC guidelines)). Results If both biomarkers were increased (n=17; 77.5%: 11 STEMI and 6 NSTEMI) above their respective cut-off value (HFABP 6.3 ng/mL and hsTnI 20.24 ng/L) at presentation, AMI ensued (100% PPV). Also, if both the markers were below their respective cut-offs at presentation, AMI was safely ruled out (n=41; with only 1 false negative). However, among the patients with either of these markers above their respective cut-off at presentation (n=22), DSA was required to find remaining AMI cases (n=4). Overall, DMA stands best for rule out (sensitivity 95.5%, NPV 97.6%) while DSA is superior for rule in (98.2% specificity, 95.2% PPV). Conclusion With the use of the proposed DMA, 58/80 (72.5%) patients with acute chest pain were reliably ruled in/ruled out for AMI at the presentation itself, while the remaining patients still required serial monitoring (DSA) for confirmation.

Development of a Point-of-Care Test Based on Selenium Nanoparticles for Heart-Type Fatty Acid-Binding Proteins in Human Plasma and Blood. Int J Nanomedicine 2022; 17:1273-1284. [PMID: 35345786 PMCID: PMC8957302 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s359541] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2022] [Accepted: 03/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose A rapid, convenient, cost-effective in-home test method for identifying heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) in plasma and blood by a lateral-flow immunoassay (LFIA) based on selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) was developed. Methods SeNPs were synthesized by using L-ascorbic acid to reduce seleninic acid at room temperature and conjugated with an anti-H-FABP monoclonal antibody. The limit of detection, specificity, and stability were measured, and clinical samples were analyzed. Results The SeNPs were spherical with a diameter of 39.48 ± 3.72 nm and were conjugated successfully with an anti-H-FABP antibody, resulting in a total diameter of 46.52 ± 2.95 nm. The kit was designed for the determination of H-FABP in plasma specimens and whole blood specimens. The limit of detection was 1 ng/mL in plasma and blood, and the results could be determined within 10 min. No cross-reaction occurred with cardiac troponin I, creatine kinase-MB or myoglobin. The kits were stored at 40 °C for up to 30 days without significant loss of activity. The sensitivity was determined to be 100%, the specificity 96.67%, and the overall coincidence rate 97.83%. Conclusion This SeNP assay kit can conveniently, rapidly, and sensitively detect H-FABP in plasma or blood with a readout of a simple color change visible to the naked eye with no special device, and can be used as an auxiliary means for the early screening of AMI. Clinical Trial Registration Plasma and blood samples were used under approval from the Experimental Animal Ethics committee of the Joint National Laboratory for Antibody Drug Engineering, Henan University. The clinical trial registration number was HUSOM-2019-047.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in E-FABP in the salivary and lacrimal glands of the Sjögren syndrome (SS) model non-obese diabetic mice (NOD). Cotton thread and ocular vital staining tests were performed on 10-week NOD male mice (n = 24) and age- and sex-matched wild-type (WT) mice (n = 25). Tear and saliva samples were collected at sacrifice for E-FABP ELISA assays. Salivary and lacrimal gland specimens underwent immunohistochemistry stainings for E-FABP. Real-time RT-PCR was also performed for the quantification of mRNA expression levels in the salivary and lacrimal glands. Corneal vital staining scores in the NOD mice were significantly higher compared with those for the wild-type mice (p = 0.0001). The mean tear E-FABP level showed a significantly lower concentration in the NOD mice (p = 0.001). The mean saliva E-FABP level also showed a significantly lower concentration in the NOD mice (p = 0.04). Immunohistochemistry revealed intense E-FABP staining in the LG acinar epithelium and less intense staining in the acinar epitheliae of the SGs in the NOD mice compared to the WT mice. Real-time RT-PCR for the mRNA expression of E-FABP showed a significantly decreased expression in the SG and a significant increase in the LG of the NOD mice compared to the WT mice. In conclusion, the E-FABP showed marked alterations in the tear film, saliva, lacrimal, and salivary glands of the NOD mouse, which may help explain the ocular surface changes in relation to the dry eye disease in this SS model mouse and keratoconjunctivitis sicca in SS patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a condition involving dilation of cardiac chambers, which results in contraction impairment. Besides invasive and non-invasive diagnostic procedures, cardiac biomarkers are of great importance in both diagnosis and prognosis of the disease. These biomarkers are categorized into three groups based on their site; cardiomyocyte biomarkers, microenvironmental biomarkers and macroenvironmental biomarkers. AIMS In this review, an overview of characteristics, epidemiology, etiology and clinical manifestations of DCM is provided. In addition, the most important biomarkers, of all three categories, and their diagnostic and prognostic values are discussed. CONCLUSION Considering the association of DCM with conditions such as infections and autoimmunity, which are prevalent among the population, introducing efficient diagnostic tools is of high value for the early detection of DCM to prevent its severe complications. The three discussed classes of biomarkers are potential candidates for the detection of DCM. However, further studies are necessary in this regard.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to analyze the relations of heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) and brain-type fatty acid-binding protein (B-FABP) with postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in elderly patients undergoing spinal surgery. METHODS One hundred and twenty-five patients who underwent spinal surgery were enrolled in this study. According to whether patients had POCD within 5 days after surgery, the participants were divided into POCD group and non-POCD group. Before surgery and 6 h after surgery, the serum H-FABP and B-FABP contents were detected. RESULTS There were 33 (26.4%) patients in POCD group, and 92 (73.60%) patients in non-POCD group. After surgery, the serum H-FABP and B-FABP contents in POCD group were significantly higher than those before surgery, respectively (p<0.05), and those in non-POCD group were significantly lower than those before surgery, respectively (p<0.05). After surgery, the serum H-FABP and B-FABP contents in POCD group were significantly higher than those in non-POCD group, respectively (p<0.05). CONCLUSION The serum H-FABP and B-FABP contents are positively related to the occurrence of POCD in elderly patients undergoing spinal surgery.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Sjögren syndrome (SS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease of the lacrimal and salivary glands. Salivary gland biopsy is still one of the most valuable and acceptable diagnostic tests for SS, which however, is an invasive test. Therefore, noninvasive diagnostic biomarkers with high specificity and sensitivity are required for the diagnosis and assessment of SS. Because ophthalmological testing constitutes to an important part for the diagnosis of SS. Tears harbor biomarkers with a high potential to be used for differential diagnosis and assessment of treatment in many systemic disorders, including SS. This review aims to summarize recent advances in the identification of tear biomarkers of SS, trying to identify reliable, sensitive, and specific biomarkers that can be used to guide treatment decisions.

Diagnostic Value of Heart-type Fatty Acid Binding Protein in Group of Patients with NSTEMI at the Time of Application for Medical Care. Fam Med 2021.

Abstract
The relevance of the early detection of myocardial necrosis is due to the difficulties of differential diagnosis in the first hours of the development of acute coronary syndrome. Therefore, the doctors of the first contact, as before, are interested in an early cardiac marker and the presence of tests based on it. Heart fatty acid binding protein (h-FABP) is a cardiac marker that increases in the blood to diagnostic values after just one hour from the beginning of clinical manifestations.
The objective: to determine the diagnostic value of heart fatty acid binding protein in group of patients with NSTEMI.
Materials and methods. We examined 280 patients with STEMI, 91 patients with NSTEMI, 76 with stable angina pectoris. Blood samples were taken from all patients at the first contact to determine troponin I, a heart fatty acid binding protein and CPK-MB. Patients with NSTEMI were divided into three subgroups: the first – up to 3 hours from the onset of symptoms, the second – from 3 to 6, the third from 6 to 12. The level of heart fatty acid binding protein in plasma was determined by enzyme immunoassay.
Results. The early detection of AMI in people visiting primary care doctors with chest pain continues to be a challenge. Undoubtedly, cardiac troponins are the “gold standard” for the diagnosis of AMI, but early detection of these can give a negative result. The results of the studies show a high diagnostic efficacy of h-FABP in the early diagnosis of AMI, and it is superior in sensitivity (in the first hours from the onset of the disease) to cardiac troponins. So, for example, in the subgroup of patients with the onset of symptom manifestation up to 3 hours for h-FABP with a cut-off >0,48 ng/ml, the sensitivity was 92.7 % and specificity was 97,3 % (AUC=0,99; 95 % CI AUC 0,942–0,998). In the same subgroup, troponin I had a specificity of 22,0 %, with cut off >0,84 ng/ml (AUC=0,71; 95 % CI AUC 0,615–0,787).
Conclusions. The level of cardiac protein that binds fatty acids is significantly increased in patients with acute myocardial infarction compared with stable coronary heart disease.

Abstract
Cardiac troponins (cTn) are currently the standard of care for the diagnosis of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) in patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with chest pain (CP). However, their plasma kinetics necessitate a prolonged ED stay or overnight hospital admission, especially in those presenting early after CP onset. Moreover, ruling out ACS in low-risk patients requires prolonged ED observation or overnight hospital admission to allow serial measurements of c-Tn, adding cost. Heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) is a novel marker of myocardial injury with putative advantages over cTn. Being present in abundance in the myocellular cytoplasm, it is released rapidly (<1 h) after the onset of myocardial injury and could potentially play an important role in both earlier diagnosis of high-risk patients presenting early after CP onset, as well as in risk-stratifying low-risk patients rapidly. Like cTn, H-FABP also has a potential role as a prognostic marker in other conditions where the myocardial injury occurs, such as acute congestive heart failure (CHF) and acute pulmonary embolism (PE). This review provides an overview of the evidence examining the role of H-FABP in early diagnosis and risk stratification of patients with CP and in non-ACS conditions associated with myocardial injury. Key messages Heart-type fatty acid-binding protein is a biomarker that is elevated early in myocardial injury The routine use in the emergency department complements the use of troponins in ruling out acute coronary syndromes in patients presenting early with chest pain It also is useful in risk stratifying patients with other conditions such as heart failure and acute pulmonary embolism.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a cardiovascular disease that is produced due to a deficiency of oxygen generating irreversible damage in the heart muscle. In diagnosis, electrocardiogram (ECG) investigation has been the main method but is insufficient, so approaches like the measurement of biomarkers levels in plasma or saliva have become one of the most commonly applied strategies for prognosis of AMI, as some of them are specifically related to a heart attack. Many tests are carrying on to determine biological markers changes, but usually, they present disadvantages related to time consumption and laborious work. To overcome the issues, researchers around the world have been developing different ways to enhance detection through the use of biosensors. These diagnostic devices have a biological sensing element associated to a physicochemical transducer that can be made from different materials and configurations giving place to different kinds of detection: Electrical/Electrochemical, Optical and Mechanical. In this review, the authors presents relevant investigations related to the most important biomarkers and biosensors used for their detection having in mind the nanotechnology participation in the process through the application of nanostructures as a good choice for device configuration.

Nimbolide prevents myocardial damage by regulating cardiac biomarkers, antioxidant level, and apoptosis signaling against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in rats. J Biochem Mol Toxicol 2020; 34:e22543. [PMID: 32627270 DOI: 10.1002/jbt.22543] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2020] [Revised: 05/08/2020] [Accepted: 05/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
The current work planned to assess the protecting properties of nimbolide against doxorubicin (DOX)-treated myocardial damage. Myocardial damage was produced with 2.5 mg/kg of DOX given on alternative days (14 days). Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) levels of a lipid peroxidative marker were elevated, whereas reduced body weight, heart weight, blood pressure indices and reduced levels of antioxidants like glutathione-S-transferase, superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione, and glutathione reductase were observed in the heart tissue of DOX-treated animals. DOX-treated animals showed augmented levels of cardiac markers likes monocyte chemotactic protein-1, interferon-gamma, aspartate transferase, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase-muscle/brain, heart-type fatty acid-binding protein, glycogen phosphorylase isoenzyme BB, transforming growth factor-β, brain natriuretic peptide, myoglobin, and cTnI in serum. Histopathological assessment confirmed the DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. Furthermore, DOX-induced rats showed augmented inflammatory mediators (nuclear factor-κB [NF-kB], tumor necrosis factor-α [TNF-α], and interleukin-1β [IL-1β]) and increased PI3K/Akt signaling proteins (PI3K, p-Bad/Bad, caspase-3, and p-Akt), whereas decreased oxidative markers (HO-1 and NQO-1) and p-PTEN were observed. Nimbolide-supplemented rats showed reduced activity/levels of cardiac markers and TBARS levels in serum and heart tissue. Levels of enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidants were augmented in the heart tissue of nimbolide-supplemented rats. Nimbolide influence decreased apoptosis, inflammation, and enhanced antioxidant markers through the modulation of p-Bad/Bad, caspase-3, PI3K, p-Akt, TNF-α, NF-kB, IL-1β, HO-1, NQO-1, and p-PTEN markers. The histopathological explanations were observed to be in line with biochemical analysis. Therefore, the finding of current work was that nimbolide has a defensive effect on the myocardium against DOX-induced cardiac tissue damage.

Abstract
Background/aim Our aim in this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of crystalloid del Nido solution and cold blood cardioplegia solution on clinical and laboratory parameters. Materials and methods Sixty patients who underwent elective coronary bypass operation between July 2019 and January 2020 were included in our study. Patients were divided into 2 groups of 30 patients using del Nido solution (DNS) and cold blood cardioplegia solution (CBCS), which were given for cardiac arrest. Demographic data, preoperative, postoperative 0th h, 6th h and 4th day creatine kinase myocardial band (CK-MB) and troponin I values were compared with a specific cardiac enzyme heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP). Results We found that aortic cross clamp duration and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time were shorter in patients using del Nido solution than cold blood cardioplegia solution (57.30 ± 23.57 min, 76.07 ± 27.18 min, P = 0.006) (95.07 ± 23.06 min, 114.13 ± 33.93, P = 0.014). Total cardioplegia solution volume was higher in the cold blood cardioplegia solution group (1426.67 ± 416.00 vs. 1200 ± 310.73 P = 0.02). Preoperative and postoperative levels of cardiac enzymes including CK-MB, troponin I and H-FABP were comparable in del Nido solution and cold blood cardioplegia solution groups. Conclusion According to these results, when we compare both demographic data and CK-MB, troponin I and H-FABP levels, both cardioplegia solutions were comparable regarding safety and efficacy in terms of myocardial protection.

Abstract
Background Our study compared the myocardiac protective effect of propofol vs. sevoflurane in pediatric patients receiving living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) surgery. Material/Methods We randomly and equally divided 120 children who underwent LDLT into a sevoflurane group and a propofol group. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative data were collected and compared between the 2 groups. The concentrations of cTnI, CK-MB, IL-6, TNF-α, and HMGB1 at 5 min after induction (T0), 30 min in the anhepatic period (T1), and 3 h after reperfusion (T2), and at the end of surgery (T3) were measured. Results There was no statistically significant difference in the characteristics of children in the 2 groups. Compared with T0, the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α at T1, T2, and T3 were higher, while the HMGB1 at T2 and T3 were higher (P<0.05). A similar trend for IL-6, TNF-α, and HMGB1 at different time points in the 2 groups was observed. Compared with T0, the cTnI and CK-MB at T2 and T3 were significantly higher (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference at different time points in the 2 groups. For the adverse events, there was no significant difference between the 2 groups. Conclusions Our study shows that the cardioprotective effect in pediatric patients undergoing living donor liver transplantation is similar with propofol and sevoflurane anesthesia.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of fatality and disability worldwide regardless of gender. Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in population across different regions. According to epidemiological studies, CVD risk markers in childhood obesity are one of the significant risk factors for adulthood CVD, but have received disproportionally little attention. This review has examined the evidence for the presence of traditional cardiac biomarkers (nonspecific; lactate dehydrogenase, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, creatine kinase, myoglobulin, glycogen phosphorylase isoenzyme BB, myosin light chains, ST2, and ischemia-modified albumin) and novel emerging cardiac-specific biomarkers (cardiac troponins, natriuretic peptides, heart-type fatty acid-binding protein, and miRNAs). Besides, noninvasive anatomical and electrophysiological markers (carotid intima-media thickness, coronary artery calcification, and heart rate variability) in CVDs and obesity are also discussed. Modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome in the progression of CVD, such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, oxidative stress, inflammation, and adipocytokines are also outlined. These underlying prognostic risk factors predict the onset of future microvascular and macrovascular complications. The understanding of invasive and noninvasive cardiac-specific biomarkers and the risk factors may yield valuable insights into the pathophysiology and prevention of CVD in a high-risk obese population at an early stage.

Abstract
The use of a large number of cardiovascular biomarkers, meant to complement the use of the electrocardiogram, echocardiography cardiac imaging, and clinical symptom assessment, has become a routine in clinical diagnosis, differential diagnosis, risk stratification, and prognosis and guides the management of patients with suspected cardiovascular diseases. There is a broad consensus that cardiac troponin and natriuretic peptides are the preferred biomarkers in clinical practice for the diagnosis of the acute coronary syndrome and heart failure, respectively, while the roles and possible clinical applications of several other potential biomarkers are still under study. This review mainly focuses on the recent studies of the roles and clinical applications of troponin and natriuretic peptides, which seem to be the best-validated markers in distinguishing and predicting the future cardiac events of patients with suspected cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, the review briefly discusses some of the large number of potential markers that may play a more prominent role in the future.

Abstract
The study objective was to investigate heart-fatty acid binding protein (HFABP) concentrations in dogs with degenerative valvular disease (MVD) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and its potential as a prognostic factor. Plasma HFABP, N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) and serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) levels were measured in 21 control dogs, 23 dogs with MVD and 13 dogs with DCM, with repeated sampling at 1 and 3 months after initial presentation. All dogs were followed up after 6 and 12 months to verify survival. Heart-fatty acid binding protein concentrations were significantly higher in dogs with MVD and DCM than controls at initial presentation, and after 1 month in dogs with MVD. For dogs with DCM, a significant reduction in HFABP levels over time was observed. Comparing ACVIM stages, highest HFABP concentrations were detected in ACVIM stage C dogs compared to stage B, with the lowest levels seen in controls, and a reduction over time in stage C dogs was present. Similarly, cTnI concentrations were higher in DCM and stage C in comparison to control dogs and reduced over time, while NTproBNP concentrations were only higher in diseased dogs at 1 month. Heart-fatty acid binding protein and cTnI levels at initial presentation and ACVIM disease stage were independent predictors of survival in a univariate analysis. The elevation of HFABP in dogs with MVD and DCM in comparison to controls, its association with disease severity, and its potential in predicting reduced survival, suggest that HFABP might be useful as marker for canine MVD and DCM.

Epidermal Fatty Acid-Binding Protein: A Novel Marker in the Diagnosis of Dry Eye Disease in Sjögren Syndrome. Int J Mol Sci 2018; 19:ijms19113463. [PMID: 30400384 PMCID: PMC6274910 DOI: 10.3390/ijms19113463] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2018] [Revised: 10/23/2018] [Accepted: 10/27/2018] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose: Sjögren syndrome (SS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease of the lacrimal and salivary glands. This study compared the concentrations of epidermal fatty-acid binding protein (E-FABP) in the saliva, serum, and tears of SS patients with dry eye and dry mouth, with those of healthy adults to investigate the usefulness of E-FABP as a diagnostic marker for SS. Design: Prospective, observational case series. Participants: The subjects were 11 new patients with untreated Sjogren syndrome and 12 healthy control individuals. Methods: The diagnosis of SS was in accordance with the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (Japan) Diagnostic Criteria (1999). Saliva, serum, and tear specimens were collected during internal medicine, dental, and ophthalmological examinations. The ophthalmological tests included the Dry Eye-related Quality of life Score (DEQS), tear break-up time (BUT), vital staining with fluorescein (FS) and lissamine green (LG), and the Schirmer test-1. The E-FABP concentration in the tears, saliva, and serum was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Main outcome measure: The E-FABP concentrations were compared between patients and controls. Results: There were significant differences between the patient and healthy control groups in all ophthalmological test results. There were no significant differences between the groups in the E-FABP concentrations in the saliva (p = 0.1513) or the serum (p = 0.4799), but the E-FABP concentration in the tears significantly differed between groups. The E-FABP concentration in tears tended to be significantly lower in patients with SS (mean, 323.5 ± 325.6 pg/mL) than healthy control subjects (mean, 4076 pg/mL; p = 0.0136). The E-FABP concentration in tears significantly correlated with the results of dry eye parameters. Conclusion: The E-FABP concentration in tears appears to be related to ocular surface epithelial damage and tear stability and may be a promising novel biomarker in the diagnosis of SS.

Comparison between creatine kinase MB, heart-type fatty acid-binding protein, and cardiac troponin T for detecting myocardial ischemic injury after cardiac surgery. Clin Chim Acta 2018; 488:174-178. [PMID: 30389460 DOI: 10.1016/j.cca.2018.10.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2018] [Revised: 10/29/2018] [Accepted: 10/29/2018] [Indexed: 10/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) is a cytoplasmic protein and is released form necrotic cardiac myocytes, as well as ischemic cardiac myocytes. In this study, we compared creatine kinase MB (CK-MB), H-FABP, and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), heart valve surgery, or septal defect surgery to evaluate the difference in detecting myocardial injury between three markers. METHODS A total of 69 patients (CABG, 32; valve surgery, 27; and septal defect surgery, 10) were prospectively enrolled. Blood samples were taken at specific intervals. RESULTS Mean amount (AUC0-72h) of CK-MB and cTnT released for 72 h in the patients with valve surgery were 2446 h·ng/ml and 93.2 h·ng/ml, which were significantly larger than those in the patients with CABG or septal defect surgery (p < .05). Mean amount (AUC0-72h) of H-FABP released for 72 h in the patients with CABG was 1939 h·ng/ml, which was significantly larger than that in the patients with septal defect surgery (700.1 h·ng/ml) (p < .05). CONCLUSION H-FABP would be a more useful marker for detecting myocardial ischemic injury than CK-MB and cTnT. CK-MB and cTnT would be more sensitive to myocardial injury with surgical trauma than with ischemic injury in the patients with cardiac surgery.

Abstract
A simple strategy for one-step fabrication of tris(bipyridine)ruthenium(II) (Ru(bpy)32+)-functionalized metal-organic framework (Ru-MOF) thin films using a self-assembly approach assisted by an electrochemical way was introduced. In this protocol, the electrochemically driven cooperative reaction of Ru(bpy)32+ as an electrochemiluminescent (ECL) probe and a structure-directing agent, trimesic acid (H3btc) as a ligand, and Zn(NO3)2 as the Zn2+ source leads to an one-step and simultaneous synthesis and deposition of the MOF onto the electrode surface. Characterization of the Ru-MOF thin films was performed with scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Scanning ion conductance microscopy was specially applied in situ to image the topography and thickness of the Ru-MOF thin films. The Ru-MOF thin films as a sensing platform show excellent ECL behavior because of plenty of Ru(bpy)32+ molecules encapsulated in the frameworks. On the basis of the Ru-MOF modified electrodes, an ultrasensitive label-free ECL immunosensing method for the human heart-type fatty-acid-binding protein has been developed with a wide linear response range (150 fg mL-1-150 ng mL-1) and a very low limit of detection (2.6 fg mL-1). The prepared immunosensor also displayed excellent stability and good specificity in the test of practical samples.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is an inflammatory marker, elevated in acute coronary syndromes (ACSs), especially in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) cases. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic power of MPO in AMI patients. MPO, creatine kinase (CK) MB, and Troponin I (cTn I) were performed for all study patients. Area under the curves (AUCs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI); P values of baseline levels of MPO for discriminating AMI patients from noncoronary chest pain (NCCP) patients, stable angina (SA) patients, and unstable angina (UA) patients were 0.91, 95% CI: 0.82-0.99; P < 0.0001, 0.87, 95% CI: 0.77-0.98; P < 0.0001, and 0.72, 95% CI: 0.58-0.85; P = 0.002, respectively. For diagnosing AMI from ACS patients, MPO was the most efficient marker than others markers with efficiency 82.5% within 0-6 hr after the onset time of chest pain. A predictive score that depends on a combination of baseline levels of three markers (MPO, CK-MB, and TnI) was correctly discriminated 91% of the AMI patients with high specificity 76%. In conclusion, the use of baseline levels of three biomarkers in combination could confer the information that is required for best available early diagnosis of AMI.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a life-threatening event. Even with timely treatment, acute ischemic myocardial injury and ensuing ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) can still be difficult issues to tackle. Apart from radiological and other auxiliary examinations, laboratory tests of applicable cardiac biomarkers are also necessary for early diagnosis and close monitoring of this disorder. Heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP), which mainly exists inside cardiomyocytes, has recently emerged as a potentially promising biomarker for myocardial injury. In this review we discuss the sensitivity and specificity of H-FABP in the assessment of myocardial injury and IRI, especially in the early stage, and its long-term prognostic value in comparison with other commonly used cardiac biomarkers, including myoglobin (Mb), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), creatine kinase MB (CK-MB), C-reactive protein (CRP), glycogen phosphorylase isoenzyme BB (GPBB), and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT). The potential and value of combined application of H-FABP with other biomarkers are also discussed. Finally, the prospect of H-FABP is summarized; several technical issues are discussed to facilitate wider application of H-FABP in clinical practice.

Abstract
Fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) are intracellular lipid-binding proteins that are involved in a variety of biological cellular processes, including tumorigenesis. In this study, we explored the expression pattern of FABP3 and FABP4 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as well as their roles in prognosis. We determined mRNA expression of FABP3 and FABP4 in matched pairs of cancerous and non-cancerous fresh frozen tissues from 30 NSCLC patients. Tissue microarray immunohistochemical analysis (TMA-IHC) was applied to determine the protein expression of FABP3 and FABP4 in 281 cancerous and 121 matched adjacent non-cancerous tissue samples. Our results showed that both mRNA and protein expression of FABP3 and FABP4 were significantly higher in cancerous tissues when compared to non-cancerous tissues. Furthermore, high expression of FABP3 or FABP4 in NSCLC was significantly associated with advanced tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage and had a negative impact on the overall survival of NSCLC patients. Concurrent high expression of FABP3 and FABP4 was significantly related to TNM stage. In conclusion, our research demonstrated that high FABP3 or FABP4 expression had strong prognostic value for overall survival in NSCLC. Detection of FABP3 and FABP4 cooperatively was helpful to predict the prognosis of NSCLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early detecting AMI in individuals presenting to the ED with chest pain continues to be a challenge. cTn is the gold standard for AMI diagnosis but early presenters (<1 hours from symptom onset) maybe cTn negative on admission. We analysed the diagnostic value of h-FABP and hs-TnI in patients presenting to ED with chest pain and no cTnI elevations. METHODS 28 AMI and 28 no-AMI individuals both presented to ED within one hour from pain onset were included. Blood donors were analysed for h-FABP cut-off identification. Among AMI patients, 55% were positive for h-FABP and 34.6% were positive for hs-TnI (p = .015), thus 21% were positive only for h-FABP. The diagnostic accuracy was assessed by ROC curve. h-FABP showed a higher sensitivity but lower specificity than hs-TnI. CONCLUSIONS In our study, the frequency of h-FABP positivity among AMI patients was higher than that of hs-TnI, which would have missed six of them; however, hs-TnI AUC was superior to that of h-FABP. These preliminary findings might confirm that h-FABP may be a good candidate for AMI rule-in/rule-out within the ED context.

Early Diagnostic Performance of Heart-Type Fatty Acid Binding Protein in Suspected Acute Myocardial Infarction: Evidence From a Meta-Analysis of Contemporary Studies. Heart Lung Circ 2017; 27:503-512. [PMID: 28566132 DOI: 10.1016/j.hlc.2017.03.165] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2016] [Revised: 01/11/2017] [Accepted: 03/29/2017] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although cardiac troponin is the cornerstone in diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the accuracy is still suboptimal in the early hours after chest pain onset. Due to its small size, heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) has been reported accurate in diagnosis of AMI, however, this remains undetermined. The aim is to investigate the diagnostic performance of H-FABP alone and in conjunction with high-sensitivity troponin (hs-Tn) within 6 hours of symptom onset. Furthermore, accuracy in 0h/3h algorithm was also assessed. METHODS Medline and EMBASE databases were searched; sensitivity, specificity and area under ROC curve (AUC) were used as measures of the diagnostic accuracy. We pooled data on bivariate modelling, threshold effect and publication bias was applied for heterogeneity analysis. RESULTS Twenty-two studies with 6602 populations were included, pooled sensitivity, specificity and AUC of H-FABP were 0.75 (0.68-0.81), 0.81 (0.75-0.86) and 0.85 (0.82-0.88) within 6 hours. Similar sensitivity (0.76, 0.69-0.82), specificity (0.80, 0.71-0.87) and AUC (0.85, 0.82-0.88) of H-FABP were observed in 4185 (63%) patients in 0h/3h algorithm. The additional use of H-FABP improved the sensitivity of hs-Tn alone but worsened its specificity (all p<0.001), and resulted in no improvement of AUC (p>0.99). There was no threshold effect (p=0.18) and publication bias (p=0.31) in this study. CONCLUSIONS H-FABP has modest accuracy for early diagnosis of AMI within 3 and 6 hours of symptom onset. The incremental value of H-FABP seemed much smaller and was of uncertain clinical significance in addition to hs-Tn in patients with suspected AMI. Routine use of H-FABP in early presentation does not seem warranted.
