Objective To explore the expression of interleukin-19 (IL-19)and to investigate the relationship between IL-19 and type 2 diabetes mellitus9 (T2DM)with angiopathy.Methods IL-19,FBG,FINS and HbA1c were measured in 120 T2DM (including 32 patients with macroangiopathy,52 patients with microangiopathy and 36 without angiopathy)and 50 healthy subjects,the results were compared.Results Compared with control group,the level of IL-19 in T2DM (41.9 ± 11.9pg/ml vs 16.2±8.5pg/ml)was significantly higher than those of healthy subjects,and the difference was signifecant (t=7.56,P<0.05).The levels of IL-19 in T2DM with macroangiopathy or microangiopathy increased significantly in com-parison with those without angiopathy (t=4.57,3.26;all P<0.05),and closely correlated with the number of angiopathy. The level of IL-19 in T2DM was significantly positive correlated with HOMA-IR and HbA1c (r=0.523 and 0.491,P<0.01).Conclusion IL-19 level was significantly increased in patients with T2DM,and was closely related with HbA1c,insu-lin resistance,IL-19 may play acertain role in the pathogenesis of in T2DM with vascular complications.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the expressions and clinical value of angiopoietin like protein 1 (Ang-1)and angiopoietin like protein 2 (Ang-2)in patients with gastric cancer.Methods 65 patients with gastric cancer and 50 healthy subjects for con-trol group were collected from June in 2012 to December in 2014.The level of Ang-1 and Ang-2 were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The results were compared.Results Compared with control group (19.8±2.1 μg/L),the level of Ang-1 in patients with gastric cancer (19.8±2.1 μg/L)was no statistics difference (P >0.05),but Ang-2 (2.3±0.8 μg/L)was significantly higher than those of healthy subjects (0.8±0.2 μg/L,t=2.50,P 0.05).The level of Ang-2 in TNM stage Ⅲ~Ⅳ (2.6±0.5 μg/L)was obviously higher than that in stage.Ⅰ~Ⅱ (1.6±0.4 μg/L).Ang-2 levels were signif-icantly higher in patients with lymph node metastasis (2.7±0.5 μg/L)or postoperative recurrence after one year (2.0±0.6μg/L)than those without lymph node metastasis (1.6 ± 0.5 μg/L)or postoperative recurrence (1.2 ± 0.5 μg/L,P <0.05).The level of Ang-2 in gastric cancer was significantly positive correlated with tumor stage and lymph node metastasis (r=0.31 and 0.33 respectively,P <0.01).Conclusion Ang-2 level was significantly increased in gastric cancer.Its level was significantly correlated with tumor stage,lymph node metastasis and prognosis,which has important application value for the cancer progression,clinical observation and prognosis evaluation of gastric cancer.
