ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the association of interleukin-6 (IL-6) with depression using meta analysis. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted to examine depression and interleukin-6 in Chinese patients us-ing“depression”and“interleukin-6”in Databases including PubMed, CBM, VIP, CNKI and WanFang Data. A me-ta-analysis was performed to analyze correlation between depression and interleukin-6 using RevMan 5.2.8 software. Results A total of 9 studies were recruited, involving 432 depression patients and 277 healthy controls. The results of meta-analysis showed that concentration of IL-6 was higher in depression patients than in healthy controls(SMD=1.48, 95%CI:0.78~2.18,P<0.05). Subgroup analysis in the first-episode subgroup and the non first-episode subgroup showed that concentration of interleukin-6 was higher in depression patients than that in controls [the first-episode subgroup (SMD=1.94,95%CI:0.07~3.81,P<0.05), the non first-episode subgroup (SMD=1.26,95%CI:0.60~1.93,P<0.05)]. Conclusion There is a good correlation between depression and the serum IL-6 concentration. Due to the small number of studies and heterogeneity in different studies, the present meta-analysis has not yet confirmed the quantitative correla-tion between IL-6 and depression.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To prepare collagen bilayer minipellet of recombinant human erythropoietin(rhEPO)and for which to establish a content determination method.METHODS:The bilayer minipellet was prepared and shaped by pressuriz-ing gel with the collagen protein as coating material and the sodium chondroitin sulfate as releasing moderator;the content of rhEPO in minipellet was determined by RP-HPLC.RESULTS:The linear range of rhEPO was0.25～20?g/ml(r=0.9998),the average recovery rate was96.2%,the intraday RSD was0.9%and the interday RSD was2.6%(n=3).CONCLUSION:The preparation for the rhEPO bilayer minipellet is easy and the content determination method of which is accurate and reli-able.
