RESUMEN
Objective: To investigate influence of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on inflammatory indexes and postoperative vascular restenosis in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) through measuring plasma levels of monocyte chemotactic factor-1 (MCP-1) and interlekin-6 (IL-6) before and after PCI. Methods: A total of 60 CHD patients undergoing PCI with single vessel coronary disease were consecutively enrolled as PCI group, and 30 subjects with normal coronary artery proved by coronary angiography (CAG) were regard as normal control group. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure plasma MCP-1 and IL-6 levels before and after PCI，CAG in PCI group，normal control group respectively. Results: Compared with before PCI, there were significant increase in plasma levels of MCP-1 [(17.38±4.58) pg/L vs. (20.51±4.61) pg/L] and IL-6 [(14.59±4.62) pg/ml vs. (18.87±4.92) pg/ml] after operation in PCI group (P0.05). The MCP-1 and IL-6 levels after PCI in PCI group were significant more than those of normal control group after CAG (P<0.05). Conclusion: Plasma levels of MCP-1（plays a core regulative role in inflammatory reaction）and IL-6（a central adjustment factor in inflammatory response）increased in patients with coronary heart disease after PCI, suggesting MCP-1 and IL-6 correlate with in-stent restenosis after PCI．
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the impact of percutaneous coronary interventional (PCI) on the inflammatory indices and postoperative vascular restenosis.Methods This study involved 90 patients undergoing PCI procedures for Coronary artery disease (CAD) compromising a single coronary artery.Fourty healthy individuals with normal findings by coronary angiography were selected as the control group.Before and after PCI or coronary angiography,plasma hs-CRP and IL-6 were measured in all the subjects by immunonephelometry and enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA),respectively.Results (1) In the CAD patients,the plasma hs-CRP level was significantly elevated after PCI as compared with the preoperative level((18.69 ±5.14) mg/L vs (14.45 ± 4.32) mg/L,t =1.42,P ＜ 0.01),whereas in the control group,the hs-CRP level underwent no significant changes after coronary angiography((13.59 ±5.99) mg/L vs(12.46 ±5.35) mg/L,t =1.25,P ＞ 0.05).(2) PCI procedures also resulted in significant elevation of plasma IL-6 level in the CAD patients((1.87±0.45) pg/L vs (1.35 ±0.39) pg/L,t =1.33,P＜0.01),but in the control group,IL-6 showed no significant variation after coronary angiography ((1.32 ± 0.41) pg/L vs (1.21 ± 0.38)pg/L,t =1.16,P ＞ 0.05).We observed significant difference of hs-CRP and IL-6 levels between the CAD patient group and the control group (t =4.96,6.61 respectively,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Plasma hs-CRP and IL-6 are elevated in CAD patients following PCI procedures.But the roles of elevated hs-CRP and IL-6 in the vascular restenosis following the procedures need further investigation.
RESUMEN
Objective To study the effects of small dosage insulin on intestinal inflammatory responses to endotoxin rats. Method Thirty two male SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 8): control group, endotoxin (LPS,6 mg/kg i.p.)group, regular insulin(RI,0.5 IU/kg hypodermic) group and LPS(6 mg/kg i.p) + RI (0.5 IU/kg hypodermic)group. Six hours after LPS or saline injection,all rats were laparotomized to observe the congestion in intestinal mucosa with naked-eyes and photography.Then a segment of intestine was stained with HE to observe the pathological changes. The expressions of IL-6 and TNF-α were detected by RT-PCR.The systemic inflammatory response,blood sugar and food taken in rats were observed simultaneously. Software SPSS 13.0 was used to perform ANOVA and Chi-square test for statistical analysis. Results Compared with LPS group, the differences in hyperemia and inflammatory cell infiltration in intestinal tissue were not noticeable in LPS + RI group. The expression of IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly attenuated in RI + LPS group (P < 0.01). All rats in LPS group manifested systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) four or five hours after LPS treatment, while there was none in LPS + RI group. Rats in LPS group took less food than rats of other groups while the blood sugar had litter difference in all groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions Small dosage of insulin could reduce intestinal inflammation caused by endotoxemia. Early administration of insulin ould prevent the presence of SIRS while it has no obvious influence on blood sugar.
