ObjectiveTo systematically review the association of interleukin-33 (IL-33) expression and coronary heart disease (CHD). MethodsWe searched The Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, CBM, VIP, CNKI and WanFang Data up to June 30th, 2014, to collect case-control studies concerning the association of IL-33 expression with CHD. Two reviewers independently screened literature according the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data and assessed the methodological quality of included studies; and then, meta-analysis was performed using the RevMan 5.2 software. ResultsSix case-control studies were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that:there were no significant differences in the levels of IL-33 between stable angina pectoris or ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients and healthy population (MD=-25.15, 95%CI -51.08 to 0.77, P=0.06; MD=-28.97, 95%CI -62.89 to 4.95, P=0.09). However, there were significant differences in the levels of IL-33 between unstable angina pectoris or non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients and healthy population (MD=-24.79, 95%CI -50.00 to 0.42, P=0.05; MD=-14.60, 95%CI -20.09 to -9.12, P<0.000 01). ConclusionIL-33 expression may be associated with unstable angina pectoris and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients.
【Abstract】Objective To study the influence of early hemofiltration on plasma concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-1β and their transcription levels in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) pigs. Methods The model of SAP was induced by retrograde injection of artificial bile into pancreatic duct in pigs. Animals were divided randomly into two groups: SAP hemofiltration treatment group (HF group, n=8) and SAP no hemofiltration treatment group (NHF group, n=8). TNF-α and IL-1β plasma concentrations were measured by ELISA. Their transcription levels in the tissues of pancreas, liver and lung were assayed by semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Results After hemofiltration treatment, the plasma concentrations of TNF-α and IL-1β increased gradually but were lower than those of NHF group at the same time spot 〔at 6 h after hemofiltration treatment, (618±276) pg/ml vs (1 375±334) pg/ml and (445±141) pg/ml vs (965±265) pg/ml, P＜0.01〕. At 6 h after hemofiltration treatment, the transcription levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in tissues of pancreas, liver and lung were lower than in NHF group (57.8±8.9 vs 85.7±17.4, 48.0±8.1 vs 78.1±10.2, 46.2±9.6 vs 82.4±10.5; 55.9±9.0 vs 82.2±15.7, 40.6±9.2 vs 60.0±10.6, 35.7±9.8 vs 58.1±9.3, P＜0.01). Conclusion Early hemofiltration can reduce TNF-α and IL-1β plasma concentrations and transcription levels in SAP pigs.
To evaluate effect of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) on immunologic function in patients with gastrointestinal malignant tumor (GIMT). Before and 3 weeks after surgical treatment and administration of rhGH, the amount of T lymphocyte subset (T-LS) and soluble interleukin 2 receptor (sIL-2R) level were measured in 12 patients with GIMT, which were compared with 20 cases of normal control and 18 cases of GIMT treated by surgery alone. Result: ①In all GIMT patients, the serum CD＋3, CD＋4 level and the ratio of CD＋4/CD＋8 were lower than normal control and the sIL2R level was much higher; ②After operation, the serum CD＋3, CD＋4 level and the ratio of CD＋4/CD＋8 of all patients increased, the serum sIL2R level decreased; ③In patients recieved rhGH, the serum CD＋3, CD＋4 level and the ratio of CD＋4/CD＋8 were much more increased and the serum sIL-2R level much more decreased than those of surgery alone group. Conclusion: rhGH can enhance the immunologic function of patients with GIMT.
【Abstract】 Objective To observe the plasma levels of adiponectin and interleukin-17 ( IL-17) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD) at acute exacerbation or stable stage, and analyze their relationship. Methods Sixty male COPD patients with normal weight ( with BMI range of 18. 5-24. 9 kg/m2 ) were enrolled, including 30 patients with acute exacerbations of COPD ( AECOPD) and 30 patients with stable COPD. Twenty healthy nonsmoking male volunteers were included as controls. The plasma levels of adiponectin and IL-17 as well as lung function ( FEV1% pred and RV% pred) were measured in all subjects. Results The concentrations of adiponectin and IL-17 were significantly higher in the AECOPD patients than those of the patients with stable COPD and the contro1s ( P lt; 0. 001) . Theconcentrations of adiponectin and IL-17 were significantly higher in the patients with stable COPD than those of the controls ( P lt;0. 01) . Adiponectin was positively correlated with IL-17 in the AECOPD patients ( r =0. 822, P lt;0. 001) and in the patients with stable COPD ( r =0. 732, P lt;0. 001) . Adiponectin was positivelycorrelated with RV% pred in the AECOPD patients ( rs = 0. 764, P lt;0. 001) and in the patients with stable COPD ( rs =0. 967, P lt;0. 001) . There was no significant relationship between adiponectin and FEV1% pred ( P gt;0. 05) . Conclusions The plasma level of adiponectin in COPD patients is elevated which is relatedwith excessive inflation of lung. Adiponectin may be involved in the process of inflammation in COPD as a new pro-inflammatory cytokine.

目的:探討類風濕關節炎患者疾病活動與血清中白介素-20(IL-20)水平的關系。方法:用酶標記免疫吸附測定(enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,ELISA)方法檢測60例類風濕關節炎患者及30例正常對照者外周血血清中IL-20水平。分析IL-20水平與RA發病和類風濕因子(rheumatoid factor,RF)、C反應蛋白(C reactive protein,CRP)、血沉(erythrocyte sedimentation rate,ESR)及同期手X光片分期的相關性。結果:活動期類風濕關節炎患者外周血中IL-0水平明顯高于正常對照組(Plt;0.1)。類風濕關節炎患者IL.0水平與其RF、CRP、血沉及同期手X光片分期無明顯相關性(Pgt;0.)。結論:活動期類風濕關節炎患者外周血中IL-20平明顯高于正常對照組,但與RF、CRP、血沉及同期手X光片分期無明顯相關性。IL-0可能參與類風濕關節炎的發病過程,提示需進一步研究。
