To clarify the contribution of left atrial pressure to the secretion of beta-endorphin, we have investigated the relation between plasma beta-endorphin levels and hemodynamic changes in 35 patients with mitral stenosis undergoing percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PTMC). Before PTMC, plasma beta-endorphin levels obtained from the antecubital vein (28.91 +/- 5.59 pg/ml) and from the femoral vein (28.20 +/- 5.44 pg/ml) in the patients with mitral stenosis were significantly higher than those obtained from the antecubital vein in the healthy volunteers (22.59 +/- 3.86 pg/ml, n = 34, P < 0.001 for each). The levels of beta-endorphin in the femoral vein correlated well with the mean left atrial pressure (r = 0.777, P < 0.001) and the mean right atrial pressure (r = 0.450, P < 0.01) before the procedure. The antecubital venous levels of beta-endorphin in patients in New York Heart Association functional Classes II (26.45 +/- 5.39 pg/ml, n = 20) and III (32.20 +/- 4.02 pg/ml, n = 15) were significantly higher than those in control subjects (P < 0.005 and P < 0.001, respectively). The differences between Classes II and III were significant (P < 0.001). The plasma levels of beta-endorphin in the patients complicated with atrial fibrillation were also significantly higher than those in patients with normal sinus rhythm (33.31 +/- 3.22 pg/ml, n = 13 vs 26.32 +/- 5.07 pg/ml, n = 22, P < 0.001). In ten to fifteen minutes after commissurotomy, plasma levels of beta-endorphin in the femoral vein significantly increased from 28.20 +/- 5.44 to 33.14 +/- 5.72 pg/ml (P < 0.001). In seventy-two hours after the procedure, plasma beta-endorphin levels in the antecubital vein fell to 24.37 +/- 2.59 pg/ml (P < 0.001 vs before PTMC and P < 0.05 vs control subjects). Plasma beta-endorphin levels in the patients with atrial fibrillation (26.62 +/- 2.36 pg/ml, P < 0.001 vs before PTMC and P < 0.002 vs control subjects) were still higher (P < 0.001) than those in patients with normal sinus rhythm (23.05 +/- 1.65 pg/ml, P < 0.001 vs before PTMC and P > 0.50 vs control subjects. There was a significant correlation between the levels of beta-endorphin in the antecubital vein and heart rate (r = 0.502, P < 0.001), mean transmitral pressure gradient (r = 0.543, P < 0.001) or mitral valve area (r = -0.710, P < 0.001) before and 72 hours after the procedure.
为阐明左心房压力对β-内啡肽分泌的作用,我们研究了35例接受经皮经静脉二尖瓣交界切开术(PTMC)的二尖瓣狭窄患者血浆β-内啡肽水平与血流动力学变化之间的关系。在PTMC前,二尖瓣狭窄患者肘前静脉(28.91±5.59 pg/ml)和股静脉(28.20±5.44 pg/ml)的血浆β-内啡肽水平显著高于健康志愿者肘前静脉的水平(22.59±3.86 pg/ml,n = 34,每组P < 0.001)。术前股静脉中的β-内啡肽水平与平均左心房压力(r = 0.777,P < 0.001)和平均右心房压力(r = 0.450,P < 0.01)密切相关。纽约心脏协会心功能II级(26.45±5.39 pg/ml,n = 20)和III级(32.20±4.02 pg/ml,n = 15)患者的肘前静脉β-内啡肽水平显著高于对照组(分别为P < 0.005和P < 0.001)。II级和III级之间的差异具有显著性(P < 0.001)。合并心房颤动患者的血浆β-内啡肽水平也显著高于窦性心律正常的患者(33.31±3.22 pg/ml,n = 13 vs 26.32±5.07 pg/ml,n = 22,P < 0.001)。交界切开术后10至15分钟,股静脉中血浆β-内啡肽水平从28.20±5.44显著升高至33.14±5.72 pg/ml(P < 0.001)。术后72小时,肘前静脉血浆β-内啡肽水平降至24.37±2.59 pg/ml(与PTMC前相比P < 0.001,与对照组相比P < 0.05)。心房颤动患者的血浆β-内啡肽水平(26.62±2.36 pg/ml,与PTMC前相比P < 0.001,与对照组相比P < 0.002)仍高于窦性心律正常的患者(23.05±1.65 pg/ml,与PTMC前相比P < 0.001,与对照组相比P > 0.50)。术前和术后72小时,肘前静脉中β-内啡肽水平与心率(r = 0.502,P < 0.001)、平均跨二尖瓣压力梯度(r = 0.543,P < 0.001)或二尖瓣面积(r = -0.710,P < 0.001)之间存在显著相关性。
