心脏性猝死心肌组织N-Cadherin、Bax表达变化及评价

目的观察心脏性猝死者(SCD)心肌组织的神经性钙粘附蛋白(N-Cadherin)和Bax的表达变化,探讨其法医学意义。方法分别选取心脏性猝死和排除心脏疾病死因的尸检案例心肌组织标本各33例、29为SCD组和对照组。光镜下观察心肌组织病理学改变,检测N-Cadherin和Bax在心肌组织中的表达变化,并进行统计学分析。结果 N-Cadherin在SCD组心肌中表达呈弱阳性,排列紊乱,显著低于正常心肌,正常心肌组织中N-Cadherin呈强阳性表达,细胞间界限明显,排列整齐。Bax在SCD组表达呈阳性,显著高于正常心肌。结论 N-Cadherin和Bax的变化表达对心脏性猝死鉴定有意义。

The expression changes observation of N-Cadherin and Bax in myocardial tissue after sudden cardiac death and evaluation

Objective To investigate the expression changes of victims suffering from sudden cardiac death(SCD), eurological calcium adhesion proteins (N-Cadherin) and Bax and explore their significance in forensic medicine. Methods Separately select 33 samples of myocardial tissue suffering from sudden cardiac death and 29 samples of myocardial tissue from the cases which were diagnosed not dying of heart disease as SCD and controls. Histological methods were used to examine the morphologic changes in myocardial tissue, examining the expression changes of N-Cadherin and Bax and analyzing them in a statistic way. Results N-Cadherin was weakly positively expressed in myocardial tissue of group SCD and the cells shew disordered arrangement, which is obviously lower than the controls. The cells exhibited obvious features ordered arrangement in control group. The positive expression of Bax was detected in myocardial tissue of group SCD, which is obviously higher than the controls. Conclusion The expression changes observation of N-Cadherin and Bax will make a difference to the sudden cardiac death.
