英文摘要 | Background: The relationship between circulating level of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and general physical characteristics in healthy Taiwanese remains unclear. Taiwanese population of all ages participating in a health screening program in our Health Clinic was studied Methods: Circulating EPC levels in blood samples prospectively collected from 100 study subjects once at 8: 00 a. m. from antecubital vein were determined. Levels of circulating EPCs (staining markers: CD3 I/CD34, CD62E/CD34, and KDR/CD34) were examined by flow cytometry. Results: The mean circulating level of CD3 1/CD34, CD62E/CD34, and KDR/CD34 were 1.31±1.0%, 1.21±1.2% and 1.21±1.0%, respectively. No correlation was noted among circulating level of EPCs and the levels of serum triglyceride, total cholesterol, high-density or low-density lipoprotein, blood glucose, and creatinine (all p>0.1). There was also no association between circulating level of EPCs and systolic or diastolic blood pressure, liver function, current smoking status, gender, and body mass index (all p>0.1). However, there was a significant direct correlation between EPC (CD62E/CD34) level and platelet count (p=0.044). On the other hand, EPC (KDR/CD34) level was inversely proportional to white blood cell (WBC) count (p=0.009) and age (p=0.031) Conclusion: In healthy Taiwanese population, circulating level of EPCs was significantly associated with an increase in platelet count and inversely associated with WBC count and age. |
