The Relationship of Adiponectin in Adipose Tissue, Thy-1 in Plaques, and Inflammatory
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating CAD and VHD for Heart Surgery. Completed, enrolled 96 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory process in which immune mechanisms interact with metabolic risk factors to initiate, propagate, and activate lesions in the arterial trees and is known as the main cause of coronary artery disease (CAD). Recently, there are more and more studies highlighted the potential importance of adipose tissue in relation to inflammation effects on CAD pathogenesis. However, it remains unclear whether Thy-1, adiponectin or any other inflammatory mediators in mediastinal adipose tissue contribute to CAD. In this study, we aim to analyze the expression of inflammatory mediators' expression via in vitro assay (3T3-L1 cell culture) and in vivo assay (human adipose tissues).

Interventions
Patients with CAD diseases proposed to have cardiac operations will be enrolled in this study, but those with congestive heart failure are excluded. Besides, those patients with valve diseases should have patent coronary arteries on coronary angiography.
