ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between proinflammatory cytokines and cognitive function in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).Methods From May 2007 to May 2009,70 patients (aged ≥ 60 years) with MCI were collected.Among them,50 cases were amnestic MCI,and 19 cases developed into AD.The cognitive function was assessed,and all patients were followed up.The venous blood samples were obtained and proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1α,IL 1β,IL-6,TNF-α) were detected by using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.Results There were differences in the levels of proinflammatory cytokines between patients with aMCI and patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) [IL-1β,(40.5 ± 7.7) μg/L vs.(38.6 ± 7.3) μg/L ; IL 6,(70.4 ±24.3) μg/'L vs.(53.6±20.5) μg/L;TNF-α,(58.6±13.5) μg/'L vs.(50.3±-17.1) μg/'L;t=3.537,2.229,2.226,P=0.002,0.039,0.039,respectively].Conclusions MCI is a preclinical state of AD.The cognitive function damage of MCI patients are different from that of AD patients,and the immune status of MCI patients is also changed.
