UNASSIGNED: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of coronary artery angioplasty on the recruitment of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in @entity1 with @entity951 . A total of 66 @entity1 treated by coronary stenting were enrolled in the PCI group and 17 @entity1 that underwent angiography alone were enrolled in the control group. The EPC count in the blood was measured by flow cytometry prior to and at 1, 3, 5, 7 and 24 h following angioplasty in the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) group, and at three time-points following angiography in the control group. Differences between the two groups included the characteristics of the coronary artery lesions, the incidence of @entity6 and family history of @entity301 . The mean surface area of the stent deployed was 335.59  234.99 mm(2). No significant change in EPC count was measured in the control group. In the PCI group, a moderate and delayed increase in the number of @entity2686 ( @entity2686 )34(+)/kinase domain receptor ( @entity319 )(+) EPCs occurred at 24 h post-balloon inflation compared with the baseline level. The CD133(-)/ @entity2280 (+)/ @entity319 (+) subpopulations showed undulating changes at 3, 7 and 24 h post-PCI (P=0.016, P=0.01 and P=0.032, respectively). An arch shape was displayed in CD133(+)/ @entity319 (+) cells; initially, a reduction occurred at 3 h and was maintained constantly until 7 h (P=0.003, P=0.013 and P=0.033 at 3, 5 and 7 h, respectively), after which a slight increase to the baseline level occurred at 24 h (P=0.084). The CD133(+)/ @entity2280 (+) cells increased in stepwise manner until 24 h. The @entity2280 (+)/ @entity319 (+) EPC change magnitude correlated significantly with a global damage index by partial correlation analysis (P<0.001). The results suggested that a time-dependent mobilization of EPCs may be initiated by PCI; the change magnitude of the @entity2280 (+)/ @entity319 (+) cells was associated particularly with endothelial injury degree from the PCI procedure.
