          Abstract

          FUNDAMENTO: Poucos estudos compararam a atividade inflamatória entre pacientes diabéticos e não-diabéticos com síndrome coronariana aguda, e ainda não foi publicado nenhum somente com portadores de angina instável (AI). OBJETIVO: Este estudo teve dois objetivos. Em primeiro lugar, comparar os níveis séricos de proteína C reativa (PCR) e interleucina - 6 (IL-6) em pacientes diabéticos e não-diabéticos com angina instável (AI) para determinar se a diferença na atividade inflamatória justifica o pior prognóstico nos pacientes diabéticos. Em segundo, avaliar a correlação entre os marcadores inflamatórios e o perfil metabólico em pacientes diabéticos e entre a resposta inflamatória e os desfechos hospitalares, como morte, infarto agudo do miocárdio, insuficiência cardíaca congestiva e tempo de hospitalização. MÉTODOS: Estudo de coorte prospectivo de 90 pacientes consecutivos admitidos na Unidade de Dor Torácica com angina instável. Os pacientes foram divididos em dois grupos: diabéticos e não-diabéticos. Os níveis séricos de PCR e IL-6, o perfil metabólico e a contagem de leucócitos foram obtidos na chegada ao hospital. RESULTADOS: Dos pacientes analisados, 42 (47%) eram diabéticos (idade 62 ± 9) e 48 (53%) não eram diabéticos (idade 63 ± 12). Não foram encontradas diferenças entre a mediana da PCR (1,78 vs. 2,23 mg/l, p = 0,74) e da IL-6 (0 vs. 0 pg/ml, p = 0,31) entre os dois grupos. Houve uma correlação positiva entre PCR e colesterol total (rs = 0, 21, p = 0, 05), PCR e colesterol LDL (r s = 0,22, p = 0,04) e PCR e contagem de leucócitos (r s = 0,32, p = 0,02) nos dois grupos. Nenhuma associação foi encontrada entre os marcadores inflamatórios e os desfechos hospitalares. CONCLUSÃO: Não encontramos diferença na atividade inflamatória entre os pacientes diabéticos e não-diabéticos com AI, o que indica que esse quadro clínico pode equilibrar a atividade inflamatória entre os dois grupos e aumentar a concentração de marcadores inflamatórios de fase aguda, independentemente do estado metabólico.

          BACKGROUND: Studies comparing inflammatory activity between diabetic and non-diabetic individuals with acute coronary syndrome are scarce, and none including only patients with unstable angina (UA) has been published to date. OBJECTIVE: We compared serum C-reactive protein (CRP), and interleukin-6(IL-6) between diabetic and non-diabetic patients with unstable angina (UA) to determine if difference in inflammatory activity is responsible for a worse prognosis in diabetic patients. We also evaluated the correlation between inflammatory markers and the metabolic profile in diabetic patients and the correlation between inflammatory response and in-hospital outcomes: death, acute myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, and length of stay in hospital. METHODS: A prospective cohort study of 90 consecutive patients admitted to a chest pain unit with UA and divided into two groups, diabetic and non-diabetic. Serum CRP, IL-6, metabolic profile and leukocyte count were measured at hospital arrival. RESULTS: Forty-two patients (47%) were diabetic (age 62±9) vs. 48 (53%) non-diabetic (age 63±12). No differences between median C-reactive protein (1.78 vs. 2.23mg/l,p=0.74) and interleukin-6 (0 vs. 0pg/ml,p=0.31) were found between the two groups. There was a positive correlation between CRP and total cholesterol (rs = 0.21,p = 0.05), CRP and LDL-cholesterol (rs=0.22,p=0.04) and between CRP and leukocyte count (rs = 0.32, p = 0.02) in both groups. No associations were found between inflammatory markers and in-hospital outcomes. CONCLUSION: We found no difference in inflammatory activity between diabetic and non-diabetic patients with UA, suggesting that this clinical condition may result in balanced inflammatory activity between the two groups and increase acute-phase proteins independently of metabolic state.

              Function of C-reactive protein.

              T Du Clos (2000)
              C-reactive protein (CRP) is an ancient highly conserved molecule and a member of the pentraxin family of proteins. CRP is secreted by the liver in response to a variety of inflammatory cytokines. Levels of CRP increase very rapidly in response to trauma, inflammation, and infection and decrease just as rapidly with the resolution of the condition. Thus, the measurement of CRP is widely used to monitor various inflammatory states. CRP binds to damaged tissue, to nuclear antigens and to certain pathogenic organisms in a calcium-dependent manner. The function of CRP is felt to be related to its role in the innate immune system. Similar to immunoglobulin (Ig)G, it activates complement, binds to Fc receptors and acts as an opsonin for various pathogens. Interaction of CRP with Fc receptors leads to the generation of proinflammatory cytokines that enhance the inflammatory response. Unlike IgG, which specifically recognizes distinct antigenic epitopes, CRP recognizes altered self and foreign molecules based on pattern recognition. Thus, CRP is though to act as a surveillance molecule for altered self and certain pathogens. This recognition provides early defense and leads to a proinflammatory signal and activation of the humoural, adaptive immune system.
