    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To study the relationship between levels of activity of NF-kappaB p65, plasma soluble inter-cellular adhesion molecule-1, C-reactive protein on plaque stability, and different types of coronary heart disease. METHODS: We measured the levels of plasma soluble inter-cellular adhesion molecule-1 and C-reactive protein by enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay and the activity of NF-kappaB p65 in peripheral blood lymocytes immunohistochemically. RESULTS: Compared with the stable angina and the control group, the baseline activity of NF-kappaB p65, sICAM-1 and C-reactive protein was significantly elevated in the acute myocardial infarction and the unstable angina (P <0.01). After 3 month follow-up, the levels of activity of NF-kappaB p65 and sICAM-1 were unchanged (P > 0.05). In all groups, C-reactive proteins were lowered at the review (P <0.01). CONCLUSION: The levels of activity of NF-kappaB p65, sICAM-1 and C-reactive protein are related to the plaque stability among different types of coronary heart disease. NF-kappaB p65, and sICAM-1 are not affected by the acute event. These plasma markers may be important risk factors for the development of the acute coronary syndrome.
