The purpose of the present study was to test endothelial function and to determine if plasma homocysteine levels are associated with endothelial injury in patients with Behcet's disease (BD). Flow-mediated dilation in patients with BD was smaller than that of control subjects (p = 0.001), and mean plasma homocysteine levels in patients with BD were significantly higher (p = 0.0001). On regression analysis, only mean plasma homocysteine concentration was independently related to flow-mediated dilation (F = 5.7, p = 0.001).
本研究的目的是检测白塞病(BD)患者的内皮功能,并确定血浆同型半胱氨酸水平是否与内皮损伤相关。BD患者的血流介导的血管舒张小于对照组(p = 0.001),且BD患者的平均血浆同型半胱氨酸水平显著更高(p = 0.0001)。回归分析显示,只有平均血浆同型半胱氨酸浓度与血流介导的血管舒张独立相关(F = 5.7,p = 0.001)。
