Abstract:

Objective To investigate the distribution of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2) among apparently healthy population in Wuhan. Methods Totally,1 503 apparently healthy subjects were enrolled. The levels of serum amyloid A(SAA),Lp-PLA2 and homocysteine(Hcy) were determined. The data fo sex and age and the determination result data of total bilirubin (TB),direct bilirubin (DBil),alanine aminotransferase (ALT),aspartate aminotransferase (AST),alkaline phosphatase (ALP),gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT),blood urea nitrogen (BUN),creatinine (Cr),uric acid (UA),cystatin C (Cys C),glucose (Glu),total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),apolipoprotein A (apo A),apolipoprotein B (apo B) and lipoprotein(a)[Lp(a)] were collected. The correlation between Lp-PLA2 and the other indicators was analyzed by Spearman correlation. Results Lp-PLA2 ≥200 ng/mL was used as increasing(positive). The Lp-PLA2 level and positive rate of males were higher than those of females(P<0.001). The positive rate of Lp-PLA2 in ≥61-year-old group was higher than those in 41-60-year-old group and ≤40-year-old group,and serum Lp-PLA2 level was the highest in 41-60-year-old group. In increased Lp-PLA2 group,the age,SAA,ALT,AST,ALP,GGT,BUN,UA,Cr,Cys C,Glu,TG,apo B and Hcy were higher than those in normal Lp-PLA2 group(P<0.05). TB,DBil,HDL-C and apo A were lower than those in normal Lp-PLA2 group(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in TC,LDL-C and Lp(a) between the 2 groups(P>0.05). The levels of Lp-PLA2,SAA,GGT and Glu in Lp-PLA2 highly increased(>400 ng/mL) group were higher than those in Lp-PLA2 moderately increased(301-400 ng/mL) and slightly increased(200-300 ng/mL) groups(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance for the other indicators among the 3 groups(P>0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that Lp-PLA2 was positively correlated with SAA and GGT(r=0.422 and 0.162,P<0.001 and P=0.001,respectively),and it had no correlation with the other indicators(P>0.05). Conclusions Lp-PLA2 is high among apparently healthy population in Wuhan. Lp-PLA2 screening is necessary in apparently healthy population.
