RESUMO
Objective:To observe the influence of Danhong injection on interleukin-17 (IL-17)expression after percu-taneous coronary intervention (PCI)in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI),and ex-plore its protective effect on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI)after PCI.Methods:A total of 300STEMI patients undergoing PCI in department of cardiology were selected.They were randomly divided into routine treatment group (n=150)and Danhong injection group (n=150).Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure levels of IL-17 and IL-6. Results:There were no significant difference in expression levels of IL-17 and IL-6 between two groups before PCI (P >0.05).On 12h after PCI,IL-17 levels of two groups signifi-cantly rose (P 0.05).Total effective rate of Danhong group was significantly higher than that of routine treat-ment group (92.7% vs.81.3%,P <0.05).Compared with routine treatment group on 72h after PCI,there were significant reductions in levels of IL-17 [(31.4±6.1)ng/ml vs.(23.2±4.3)ng/ml]and IL-6 [(60.3±11.6)ng/ml vs.(42.7±8.4)ng/ml],significant rise in left ventricular ejection fraction [(43.6±4.5)% vs.(53.7±5.6)%] and significant reduction in myocardial infarction area [(22.7±4.3)% vs.(17.2±3.7)%]in Danhong injection group,P <0.05 all.Conclusion:Danhong injection decreases expressions of IL-17 and IL-6,it may be mechanism improving MIRI after PCI,thereby diminishes myocardial infarction area,and improves heart function,which is worthy extending.
