Abstract
Background: The role of the expression of micro ribonucleic acid-155 (miR-155) in the modulation of inflammatory processes leading to the development of arterial atherosclerosis has been studied, but it is still not clear whether the change in the expression of miR-155 can predict the outcomes after the vascularization procedure.
Objective: We assessed the value of assessing preoperative miR-155 expression for determining the severity of coronary artery involvement and then determined the association of the expression of this micro ribonucleic acid (microRNA) and poorer outcome of coronary artery bypass surgery.
Methods: The background information was collected by reviewing the hospital database. To assess the level of miR-155, quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction was set up using the Taq Polymerase plus PacMan (TaqMan) Assay kit. To evaluate the outcomes after surgery, patients were asked by telephone calls.
Results: The mean miR-155 expression value in the patients with one, two, and three involved coronaries was 1.57 ± 0.21, 1.27 ± 0.28, and 1.23 ± 0.29 respectively indicating a lower level of expression in those with three-vessel disease as compared to other disease subgroups. The Gensini score was adversely associated with the level of miR-155 expression. The miR-155 expression level in patients who died in the hospital was significantly lower than in surviving patients. The presence of long-term major cardiovascular adverse events was associated with a lower level of miR-155 expression. These findings were also obtained after adjusting for background factors.
Conclusion: Decreased expression of the miR-155 is associated with increased risk of mortality and long-term complications after coronary artery bypass surgery.

期刊介绍:
The primary aim of the Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery is education. The journal aims to dissipate current clinical practices and developments in the area of cardiovascular and thoracic surgery. This includes information on cardiovascular epidemiology, aetiopathogenesis, clinical manifestation etc. The journal accepts manuscripts from cardiovascular anaesthesia, cardiothoracic and vascular nursing and technology development and new/innovative products.The journal is the official publication of the Indian Association of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgeons which has a membership of over 1000 at present.DescriptionThe journal is the official organ of the Indian Association of Cardiovascular-Thoracic Surgeons. It was started in 1982 by Dr. Solomon Victor and ws being published twice a year up to 1996. From 2000 the editorial office moved to Delhi. From 2001 the journal was extended to quarterly and subsequently four issues annually have been printed out at time and regularly without fail. The journal receives manuscripts from members and non-members and cardiovascular surgeons. The manuscripts are peer reviewed by at least two or sometimes three or four reviewers who are on the panel. The manuscript process is now completely online. Funding the journal comes partially from the organization and from revenue generated by subscription and advertisement.
