Abstract

Objective To investigate the relationship between soluble cellular adhesion molecules (sCAMs) and the extent of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with stable angina pectoris.Methods and results Two hundred and ninety-one subjects had fasting levels of circulating intercellular adhesion molecule-1(sICAM-1), vascular cellular adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1), sP-selectin and contents of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) in granulocyte membranes and adipose tissue determined before undergoing elective coronary angiography. Levels of soluble VCAM-1 (983+/-216 versus 893+/-196 ng/l, p<0.001), ICAM-1 (318+/-140 versus 290+/-75 ng/l, p<0.05) and P-selectin (90+/-27 versus 80+/-23 ng/l, p<0.01) were significantly increased in subjects with significant CAD compared to subjects with no significant stenoses. In a linear regression analysis, both sVCAM-1 and sP-selectin, but not sICAM-1, correlated to the presence and the severity of CAD. Both sICAM-1 and sP-selectin were significantly correlated to current smoking status and a history of myocardial infarction. The content of total n-3 PUFA and docosahexaenoic acid in adipose tissue was marginally, but significant positively correlated to VCAM-1.Conclusion sVCAM-1 and sP-selectin may serve as markers of CAD in patients with stable angina pectoris. Only sVCAM-1 was weakly correlated to n-3 PUFA in adipose tissue.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Elderly people have higher basal levels of inflammation independently of disease status.

    “Elderly people have higher basal levels of inflammation independently of disease status, and a considerable number of studies have been carried out in this population to assess associations between physical activity and inflammatory markers (190,223 -230) .”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
