【摘要】 目的 研究活動期RA患者血清中細胞因子IL-18的表達,并探討它們與疾病活動程度的關系。 方法 2008年12月-2010年1月將63例RA患者,根據DAS28將患者分為高度活動組和低度活動組,應用酶聯免疫吸附法(ELISA)法檢測63例RA患者和27例對照組的白細胞介素-18(IL-18)表達水平。分析IL-18的水平與臨床指標的相關性。 結果 IL-18在活動期RA中表達水平高于低度活動組、對照組,分別為(238.88±41.75)、(189.11±40.62)、(185.42±44.93) pg/mL,有統計學意義(P lt;0.01)。RA活動組患者IL-18與外周血白細胞計數呈負相關(r=-0.628,P lt;0.05)。 結論 IL-18水平在RA活動期患者高表達,在RA發病和發展中起重要作用。
【Abstract】 Objective To observe the expression of interleukin-18 (IL-18) in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods A total of 63 patients with RA in our hospital from December 2008 to January 2010 were selected. The patients were divided into high activity group and low activity group according to the disease activity score 28 (DAS28). Levels of IL-18 in the serum in 63 patients and 27 control individuals were detected by ELISA technique. The relationship between IL-18 expression and the clinical indexes was analyzed. Results IL-18 serum levels were (238.88±41.75), (189.11±40.62), and (185.42±44.93) pg/mL In high activity group, low activity group and the control group respectively with a significant difference (P lt;0.01). The IL-18 level in high activity group was negative correlated with WBC counts. Conclusion Apparent expression of IL-18 is found in RA patients at the active phase, which plays an important role in the occurrence and development of RA.
