Comparative Observation Of TC And TG Levels In The Korean And The Han Nationality AMI Patients In The Hunchun Area

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the levels of total cholesteral (TC) and trigliceride (TG) with acut myocardial infarction (AMI) patients in the Hunchun area and to define the relationships between the Korean and the Han nationality AMI patients with TC and TG levels. Methods: TC and TG has been measured by autonomic biochemistry analyzer Liasys with PAP in 177 AMI patients who were diagnosed by the Hunchun city hospital during march 2000 to July 2004. TC and TG also been measured in 162 normal subjects as the control group selected from 637 by which medical examination have been done in the Hunchun city hospital during the year of 2001 to 2003. In the control group, HAV-Ab, HbaAG, HbsAb, HbeAG, GbeAb, HbcAb, hepatic function and B mode ultrasound of liver, electrocardio- gram, blood sugar of empty stomach, TC, and TG were normal. Significant difference was compared using Student's T-test for unpaired data and the classified variable data were compared by Chi-Square test. Statistical significance was defined as P<0.05. The results are given as means ±SD. Results: (1) In AMI group, levels of TC was 4.63 ±1.23 mmol/L; TG was 1.39+0.88 mmol/L. In control group, levels of TC was 4.16 + 0.63 mmol/L; TG was 1.27+0.25 mmol/L. There were no significant difference with classified constitute by Chi-square test (X2trend=1.97, P>0.05). (2) TC and TG levels of AMI patients were higher than the control group respectively (TC, P<0.001 vs control; TG, P<0.05 vs control). (3) In the Korean nationality group, levels of TC in AMI patients (4.60+1.12 mmol/L)was higher than control group (4.16 + 0.63 mmol/L) (P<0.001 vs control) but not TG levels (AMI TG: 1.37 ±0.73 mmol/L; Control TG: 1.27 ±0.25 mmol/L; Control vs AMI: P>0.05). (4) In the Han nationality group, the TC and TG levels were similarly with the Korean nationality group. The levels of TC in AMI patients (4.65 +1.29 mmol/L)was higher thancontrol group (4.42 ±0.97 mmol/L) (PO.001 vs control) but not TG levels (AMI TG: 1.24 ±0.25 mmol/L; Control TG was 1.27 ±0.25 mmol/L; Control vs AMI: P>0.05). (5) There were no significant differences in TC and TG levels between the Korean and Han nationality AMI patients (P>0.05). Conclusion: (1) Present study shown that levels of TC and TG in AMI patients were higher than control group and suggest that TC and TG levels closely correlated with AMI in the Hunchun area. (2) There were no significant differences in TC and TG levels between the Korean and the Han nationality AMI patients.
