Correlação entre os níveis sangüíneos da proteína S100B e do NT-proBNP em portadores de cardiomiopatia dilatada / Correlação entre os níveis sangüíneos da proteína S100B e do NT-proBNP em portadores de cardiomiopatia dilatadaBordignon, Solange 10 February 2009 (has links)
A proteína S100B é considerada um marcador bioquímico para lesão cerebral. Entretanto, foi demonstrado que há liberação de S100B em coração isolado de rato. Neste estudo, investigou-se os níveis séricos de S100B em pacientes portadores de cardiomiopatia dilatada (CMD). Métodos e Resultados: Foram selecionados 21 pacientes com CMD, excluindo qualquer condição que pudesse influenciar os níveis séricos de S100B. O grupo controle foi composto por 21 indivíduos pareados por sexo e idade. Ambos os grupos foram submetidos à avaliação clínica, ecocardiográfica, mensuração da proteína S100B e de NT-proBNP (expressos como mediana [variação interquartil]). Os níveis de NT-proBNP no grupo de pacientes (1462 pg/ml [426 - 3591]) foram maiores do que no grupo controle (35 pg/ml [29 - 55]); P<0.001. Os níveis de S100B foram maiores no grupo de pacientes (0.051µg/L [0.022 - 0.144]) do que no grupo controle (0.017µg/L [0.003 - 0.036]); P=0.009. Houve correlação positiva entre os níveis séricos de S100B e NT-proBNP somente no grupo de pacientes (Coeficiente de Spearman r=0.534; P=0.013). Conclusão: A proteína S100B está aumentada na CMD. Embora não possamos excluir a influência de dano cerebral, houve uma correlação positiva entre os níveis séricos de S100B e NT-proBNP em pacientes com CMD / The S100B protein is considered a biochemical marker for brain injuries. However, the isolated rat heart releases S100B. In this study, the serum levels of S100B was investigated in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients in order to evaluate its levels in heart disease. Methods and Results: It was selected DCM patients, excluding any condition that could influence S100B serum levels. Control individuals were sex and age matched. Both groups were submitted to clinical evaluation and echocardiography. The S100B and NT-proBNP serum levels (expressed as median [interquartile range]) were measured. NT-proBNP levels in patients group (1462 pg/ml [426 - 3591]) were higher than in controls (35 pg/ml [29 - 55]); P<0.001. S100B serum levels were higher in patients group (0.051µg/L [0.022 - 0.144]) than in controls (35 pg/ml [29 - 55]); P<0.001. S100B serum levels were higher in patients group (0.051µg/L [0.022 - 0.144]) than in controls (0.017µg/L [0.003 - 0.036]); P=0.009. Additionally, a positive correlation between S100B and NT-proBNP serum levels only in patients group (Spearman\'s coefficient r=0.534; P=0.013) was found . Conclusions: Although the influence of S100B from brain cannot rule out, the positive correlation between S100B and NT-proBNP levels in DCM patients points to the myocardium as the main source for the rise in S100B serum levels

Detection and outcome of mild traumatic brain injury in patients and sportsmen : persisting symptoms, disabilities and life satisfaction in relation to S-100B, NSE and cortisolStålnacke, Britt-Marie January 2004 (has links)
Traumatic brain injuries are common (hospitalization incidence: 250-300 per 100.000 inhabitants/year) and a great majority of these injuries (80-85%) are classified as mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI/concussion). Many patients with MTBI (20-80%) suffer from subsequent persistent and often disabling symptoms. In previous studies serum levels of biochemical markers of brain tissue damage (S-100B and neuron-specific enolase, NSE) have been propounded to serve as predictors of persisting symptoms.In the present studies serum concentrations of S-100B, NSE and cortisol in acute phase and post-concussion symptoms, post-traumatic stress-related symptoms, disabilities and life satisfaction one year after the trauma, were investigated in 88 patients (53 men and 35 women) with MTBI. Serum concentrations of S-100B and NSE were also assessed in elite players (n=54) of typical contact sports (ice-hockey and soccer), which are known to be high risk activities with respect to head injury. Basketball players (n=18) were used as a control group. A majority of patients with MTBI showed higher serum concentrations of S-100B, NSE and cortisol on admission compared with a second blood sample obtained about 7 hours later (p<0.001 for all analyses). Sequelae were common one year after the injury. Postconcussion symptoms were encountered in 45 % of the patients, stress-related symptoms in 17 % and disabilities in 48 %, but only 3 patients (4 %) were on sick-leave on follow-up due to the head trauma. There was a statistically significant negative correlation between the total score of life satisfaction and the total score of disability (r= -0.514, p<0.001). Symptoms on admission (dizziness, nausea) and S-100B were statistically significantly associated with disabilities (p<0.024, multiple logistic regression analysis). Nausea on admission was also statistically significantly associated with life satisfaction (p=0.004). A statistically significant association was found only for S-100B with early (0-1 week postinjury, p=0.008) and only for cortisol with late (more than 52 weeks post-injury, p=0.022) post-traumatic stress-related symptoms. Concentrations of S-100B after game were statistically significantly increased in comparison with the levels before game (soccer, p<0.001; ice-hockey, p<0.001; basketball (p<0.001). Concentrations of NSE were only raised after soccer play (p<0.001). Increases in S-100-B (post-game minus pre-game values) were correlated to the number of jumps in basketball play (r=0.706, p=0.002). For soccer, increases in S-100B were correlated to the number of headers (r=0.428, p=0.02) and to the number of acceleration/deceleration events other than heading (r=0.453, p=0.02). The findings provide support for the idea that injury of brain tissue is involved in the genesis of persisting disabilities and long-term changes of life satisfaction in MTBI. Since S-100B increases in serum were correlated to the number of headers and since soccer play also increased serum levels of NSE (in contrast to ice hockey and basketball), it seems that heading may have an impact on brain tissue. The studies have also shown that ordinary playing of the team sports in question (i.e. soccer, ice hockey and basketball) increases S-100B serum concentrations, which has to be taken into consideration when S-100B is used for the detection of injury of brain tissue in sportsmen with acute/overt head trauma during sport practice. An analysis of the biochemical markers of brain damage (in particular S-100B) may be an additional source of valuable information in the management of patients and sportsmen with MTBI. S-100B also seems to be promising for the prediction of impairments and disabilities after MTBI.
