Abstract Background This study proposed to investigate whether high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is an independent risk factor for long head of biceps tendon (LHBT) tear and whether hs-CRP can increase accuracy in diagnosing LHBT tear. Methods This study involved 582 shoulders of 557 consecutive patients who received arthroscopic examinations at the authors’ institution between January 2010 and July 2018. The strengths of associations between LHBT tear and various factors were determined by calculating the odds ratios (ORs), with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), using logistic regression analyses. The studied variables were demographic, physical, social, metabolic, comorbidity, hs-CRP, and pain on a visual analog scale (VAS) factors, as well as those related to rotator cuff tear (RCT). Significant factors in the multivariable logistic analysis were evaluated to determine their diagnostic values, including their likelihood ratios and post-test probabilities for LHBT tear. Results In the multivariable analysis, five variables were significant: age, retraction degree of Patte, subscapularis tendon tear, hs-CRP > 1 mg/L, and pain VAS (p ≤ 0.01). The best combination of determinations for diagnosing LHBT tear, which yielded a strong positive likelihood ratio of 19.07 and a high post-test probability of 96%, was age ≥ 67 years, subscapularis tendon tear, grade of Patte ≥2, hs-CRP > 1, and pain VAS ≥ 7. Conclusions Serum hs-CRP > 1 mg/L is an independent risk factor for LHBT tear, along with the expected risk factors of age, subscapularis tendon tear, retraction degree of Patte, and pain VAS. Serum hs-CRP > 1 mg/L increases the diagnostic accuracy for LHBT tear. Level of evidence Level IV, Clinical case series.

Latar Belakang. Diabetes mellitus (DM) mempunyai resiko kematian karena penyakit kardiovaskular dua sampai enam kali dibanding pasien tanpa DM. diketahui bahwa inflamasi berperan dalam pathogenesis aterosklerosis. hs-CRP merupakan salah satu marker inflamasi yang paling kuat dibanding marker inflamasi lain. HMG-CoA reduktase inhibitor atau statin mempunyai efek biologi yang luas disamping sebagai terapi menurunkan kadar kolesterol, juga dapat menurunkan kadar C-reaktive protein (CRP), hal ini dikenal sebagai efek pleotropik statin. Subyek. Pasien diabetes type 2, di poliklinik Endrokinologi Penyakit Dalam RSSA Malang. Tujuan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menilai efek terapi statin terhadap kadar hs-CRP. Bahan dan Cara. Penelitian ini merupakan suatu uji klinis pre-post test design. Pasien DM type 2 dengan kadar LDL kolesterol > 100 mg/dl diberikan terapi statin, dengan target terapi statin < 100 mg/dl. Setelah satu bulan terapi statin 5 mg per hari, pasien yang tidak mencapai target diberikan statin 10 mg per hari selama satu bulan, selanjutnya sampai dosis statin 20 mg. pemeriksaan hs-CRP dilakukan dengan metode chemiluminesen dan LDL kolesterol dihitung dengan menggunakan formula Friedewald. Pemeriksaan laboratorium dikerjakan sebelum dan setelah terapi statin. Analisa statistik menggunakan T-test dan uji korelasi, dikatakan bermakna jika p < 0,05. Hasil. Dari 79 pasien penelitian, 5 pasien drop out. Terapi statin 5 mg per hari dapat menurunkan rerata kadar hs-CRP, kolesterol LDL, kolesterol total, non-HDL, dan TG secara bermakna masing-masing 26,8%, 27,31%, 14,12%, 23,83%, dan 11,82% (p< 0,05). Pada terapi statin 10 mg didapatkan penurunan bermakna kadar kolesterol LDL, non-HDL dan kolesterol total, masing-masing 9,71%, 15,49%, 23,51% (p< 0,05). Dengan terapi statin 20 mg tidak ada hasil yang bermakna secara statistik. Pasien yang mencapai target terapi LDL < 100 mg/dl dengan terapi statin 5 mg sebanyak 41 pasien (56,16%), pada terapi statin 10 mg sebanyak 27 pasien (84,37%), dan pada statin 20 mg sebanyak 2 pasien (66,66%). Tidak didapatkan korelasi antara LDL kolesterol dengan hs-CRP. Kesimpulan. Statin 5 mg dapat menurunkan kadar hs-CRP, LDL kolesterol, kolesterol total, non-HDL, trigliserida serta peningkatan HDL kolesterol secara bermakna, jika dibanding statin 10 mg dan 20 mg. tidak ada korelasi antara LDL kolesterol dengan hs-CRP.  Kata kunci: HMG-CoA reduktase, DM type 2, hs-CRP, LDL kolesterol

Background The diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is low for detecting a subscapularis tendon tear. Purpose To identify MRI findings that may predict the presence of a clinically significant subscapularis tendon tear requiring surgical repair. Material and Methods We reviewed shoulder MR images of patients who had undergone arthroscopic rotator cuff repair at our institution between June 2018 and May 2019. Patients were divided into two groups: the study group (n = 51), with an intermediate- to high-grade partial thickness tear of the subscapularis tendon suspected on preoperative MRI and intermediate or higher grade of the tendon tear proven on arthroscopy; and the control group (n = 18), with an intermediate- to high-grade partial thickness tear of the subscapularis tendon suspected on preoperative MRI but no tear or low-grade partial thickness tear of the tendon shown on arthroscopy. Preoperative MR images were retrospectively evaluated by two readers for the size of the subscapularis tendon tear, bone reactions at the lesser tuberosity, and long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) pathology. Results The subscapularis tendon tear measured by reader 2 was larger in the study group than in the control group. The prevalence of a tear ( P = 0.006 for reader 1; P = 0.011 for reader 2) and malposition ( P < 0.001 for both readers) of the LHBT were significantly greater in the study group. Conclusion A tear and malposition of the LHBT on MR images may predict the presence of a clinically significant subscapularis tendon tear.

Background: Obesity is a chronic inflammatory condition associated with increased circulating levels of C-reactive protein (CRP). Bariatric surgery has been reported to be effective in improving both inflammatory and liver status. Our aims were to elucidate the relationships between pre-surgery high sensitivity-CRP (hs-CRP) values and post-surgery weight loss and liver steatosis and fibrosis in patients with severe obesity undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Methods: We conducted an observational prospective study on 90 individuals with morbid obesity, who underwent gastric bypass. Anthropometric indices, laboratory assessment (lipid panel, glycemic status, liver enzymes, and hs-CRP), liver stiffness and steatosis were evaluated at baseline and 6-months after surgery. Results: There was a significant post-surgery reduction in all the anthropometric variables, with an average weight loss of 33.93 ± 11.79 kg; the mean percentage of total weight loss (TWL) was 27.96 ± 6.43%. Liver elasticity was significantly reduced (from 6.1 ± 1.25 to 5.42 ± 1.52 kPa; p = 0.002), as well as liver aminotransferases, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease fibrosis score (NFS) and the grade of steatosis. Serum hs-CRP levels significantly reduced (from 9.26 ± 8.45 to 3.29 ± 4.41 mg/L; p < 0.001). The correlations between hs-CRP levels and liver fibrosis (elastography), steatosis (ultrasonography), fibrosis-4 index, NFS, and surgery success rate were not significant. Regression analyses showed that serum hs-CRP levels were not predictive of liver status and success rate after surgery in both unadjusted and adjusted models. Conclusions: In patients with morbid obesity, bariatric surgery caused a significant decrease in hs-CRP levels, liver stiffness and steatosis. Baseline hs-CRP values did not predict the weight-loss success rate and post-surgery liver status.

Caga Status

Cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA) may induce a persistent systemic inflammatory response in cardiac syndrome X (CSX). We aimed to evaluate relationship of CagA status and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in CSX patients. Sixty CSX patients and 60 gender matched controls were enrolled. Plasma samples were tested in terms of the presence of IgG antibody to Helicobacterpylori (anti-H. pylori) and CagA (anti-CagA) using ELISA method. Also, plasma level of hs-CRP was measured by ELISA method. CSX patients were detected to have significantly higher plasma hs-CRP level in comparison with the control ones (3.64 ± 3.07 vs. 0.54 ± 0.49, µg/ml, P = 0.0001). Plasma levels of hs-CRP in CSX patients with anti-CagA+ were significantly higher than those in anti-CagA(-) (CSX: 4.66±3.63 vs. 2.58±1.95 µg/ml, P = 0.011). Also, plasma levels of hs-CRP in the controls with anti-CagA+ were significantly higher than those in anti-CagA- (1.05±0.68 vs. 0.32±0.31 µg/ml, respectively, P = 0.004). The present data suggested that CagA status was probably associated with susceptibility to severe CSX by causing inflammation. The evidence for this hypothesis indicated that levels of hs-CRP increased in anti-CagA+ patients compared to the anti-CagA- ones.

Background: There is a paucity of information on the time-dependent relationship of cardiac biomarkers to infarct size and left ventricular (LV) remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI). We sought to investigate the relationship between levels high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and indices of infarct size and LV volume after acute MI. Methods: A total of 86 patients with ST-elevation MI within 12 hours after the symptom onset underwent delayed enhancement multi-detector computed tomography (DE MDCT) immediately after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to determine infarct size. LV function and remodeling were assessed by echocardiography. Hs-CRP and NT-proBNP were serially measured at admission, 24 hours, and 2 months. DE MDCT and echocardiography were repeated at 2 months after PCI. Results: Levels of both hs-CRP and NT-proBNP at 24 hours showed positive correlation with infarct size at baseline and at 2 months, and negative correlation with LV ejection fraction at baseline and at 2 months. NT-proBNP at 2 months correlated with infarct size (r=0.561, p=0.007), LV ejection fraction (r= - 0.539, p=0.010), and LV end diastolic and systolic volume indices at 2 months (r=0.796, p=0.032 and r=0.831, p=0.021, respectively). NT-proBNP was higher in patients who developed LV remodeling at 2 months: 929 pg/mL vs. 134 pg/mL, p = 0.002. In contrast, hs-CRP at 2 months showed no relationship to infarct size, LV function, or LV volumes at 2 months. Conclusions: Elevated hs-CRP during active myocardial necrosis was associated with infarct size and LV dysfunction, whereas elevated levels of NT-proBNP early and late after the onset of acute MI were both correlated with infarct size, LV dysfunction, and LV remodeling.
