| Abstract | OBJECTIVES: Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) is used as a diagnostic tool in neuropathies, cerebral diseases or traumata and for some tumours. Furthermore, it is also expressed by erythrocytes and platelets and has been linked to haemolysis ex vivo as a laboratory issue. Chronic haemolysis is frequently associated with mechanical circulatory support by ventricular assist device (VAD) or total artificial heart (TAH). Therefore, we compared NSE with indicators of haemolysis in VAD and TAH patients. METHODS: We included 599 data sets of 97 patients who underwent VAD or TAH implantation. NSE, haptoglobin (HAPT), haemopexin (HPX), free haemoglobin (frHB), lactate dehydrogenase activity (LDH), platelet counts and total bilirubin (TBIL) in plasma were analysed. Further, all major cerebral events were assessed. RESULTS: NSE correlated to frHB (rs = 0.553) and to LDH (rs = 0.695). An inverse correlation was found with HAPT (rs = -0.484) and HPX (rs = -0.398). Thirty-two patients suffered neurological events. Within the time frame of 1 day before to 4 days after a neurological event, correlations of NSE to HAPT (rs = -0.540) and HPX (rs = -0.611) in negative and to frHB (rs = 0.757), LDH (rs = 0.862) and TBIL (rs = 0.549) in positive direction were established (all P < 0.05). Furthermore, haemolysis was graded into three groups for severe, moderate or no or only slight haemolysis. NSE values differed correspondingly between these groups (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: NSE correlates to laboratory parameters indicative of haemolysis in VAD and TAH patients. Our data suggest an influence of intravascular haemolysis on NSE. Therefore, the parameter should be used with caution when it is used to assess cerebral damage. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
