Production of hepatocyte growth factor during acute myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical significance of circulating hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and the role of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (monocytes), which are a possible source of HGF, in patients with acute myocardial infarction. DESIGN AND PATIENTS 37 patients with acute myocardial infarction and 13 normal control subjects were recruited. Peripheral venous blood samples were dra...
متن کاملHepatocyte growth factor production may be related to the inflammatory response in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a well-known powerful proliferative factor of vascular endothelial cells and it has been reported that plasma HGF concentrations are increased in acute myocardial infarction (AMI), although the mechanisms are not yet well delineated. Serum HGF levels and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured in 22 patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP) (15 males, 7 femal...
متن کاملRapid Diagnosis of Acute Myocardial Infarction
To improve the specificity of biochemical markers of myocardial infarction (MI) a method to measure cardiac troponin-I (CTn-I) was developed. CTn-I is a protein unique to cardiac muscle and is released after MI. Consecutive 150 patients admitted to the coronary care unit was studied. Value of CTn-I was determined in all samples. CTn-I concentration in the MI patients group was increased com...
متن کاملHepatocyte growth factor - the earliest marker of myocardial injury in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
BACKGROUND Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) concentration increases in the first few hours of myocardial infarction (MI). AIM (1) To illustrate human HGF (hHGF) plasma concentration during the first 24 h of ST segment elevation myocardialinfarction (STEMI); (2) To estimate the odds ratio of STEMI in the context of hHGF measurements; (3) To describe the normalconcentration of hHGF in healthy sub...
متن کاملSimultaneous delivery of Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells and insulin-like growth factor-1 in acute myocardial infarction
Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells (HWJMSCs) hold promise for myocardial regeneration, but optimal treatment regimen (preferably with a growth factor) is required to maximize functional benefits. The aim of this study was to explore the cardioprotective and angiogenesis effects of HWJMSCs combined with insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction. Th...
