Objective This study aimed to investigate whether differential expression of the retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor A ( RORA) gene is related to occurrence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods This was a retrospective study. White blood cells of 93 patients with acute myocardial infarction and 74 patients with stable coronary artery disease were collected. Reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting were used to measure RORA mRNA and protein expression, respectively. Results RORA mRNA expression levels in peripheral blood leukocytes in patients with AMI were 1.57 times higher than those in patients with stable coronary artery disease. Protein RORA levels in peripheral blood of patients with AMI were increased. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that high expression of RORA was an independent risk factor for AMI, and it increased the risk of AMI by 2.990 times. Conclusion RORA expression levels in patients with AMI is significantly higher than that in patients with stable coronary artery disease. High expression of RORA is related to AMI and it may be an independent risk factor for AMI.

The study was designed to explore serum copper as a risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). In this case-control study 30 healthy controls and 60 diagnosed cases of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were enrolled. Serum copper concentration and serum lipid profile were measured in all study subjects. Serum copper level was significantly higher in AMI as compared to controls. The concentrations of serum TC, TG, LDL-C level were found to be significantly higher in cases as compared to controls. The concentration serum HDL-C was found to be significantly lower in cases as compared to controls. CAD leads to raised serum copper level and it has positive correlation with TC, TG and LDL-C but negative correlation with HDL-C in males.Keywords: Coronary artery disease; serum copper; acute myocardial infarction; total cholesterol; triglyceride; low density lipoprotein cholesterol.

Abstract Background:To explore the application value of thromboelastic graph (TEG) in the assessment of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Results: 1.R time (min), K time (min) and LY30(%) in the STEMI group were lower than those in the NSTEMI group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The Angle(°) and MA values in the STEMI group were higher than those in the NSTEMI group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). 2.R time(min), K time(min) and LY30(%) gradually decreased with the increase of the number of coronary artery lesions, while Angle(°) and MA value(mm) gradually increased. 3. R time (min), K time (min) and LY30(%) gradually decreased with the aggravation of coronary artery lesions, while Angle(°) and MA value (mm) gradually increased. 4. R time (min), K time (min) and LY30(%) were negatively correlated with Gensini score (r=-0.456, -0.418, -0.483, P<0.001).Angle(°) and MA value(mm) were positively correlated with Gensini score (r=0.531, 0.569, P<0.001).Conclusion: Thromboelastic graph (TEG) can be used as an effective indicator for predicting the condition of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), evaluating the severity of coronary artery disease, and guiding clinical treatment.
