Interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-2(IL-2) and interleukin-6(IL-6) activities and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) contents in plasma from patients with different sites of cancers as well as controls using bioassay technique were studied. The results showed that the levels of IL-1,IL-2,IL-6 s from patients with different sites of cancer were decreased remarkably in comparision with controls and the contents of TNF from patients with different sites of cancers increased significantly. But the difference between different sites of cancer was not statistically significant. The data suggest that the variations in the contents of TNF and the levels of interleukins may be related to the development of these caner patients.
Purpose To investigate the expression of the interleukin-6(IL-6)and tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-alpha;) in epiretinal membranes(ERM) of eyes with proliferative vitreoretinopathy(PVR). Methods Nineteen epiretinal membranes were obtained form eyes undergoing vitrectomy for retinal detachment complicated with PVR and observed by immunohistochemical methods. Results Expression of IL-6 and TNF-alpha; were observed in 12 and 15 membranes respectively with positive staining mostly in extracellular matrix of epiretinal membranes.Only one membrane showed positive to IL-6 intracellularly,and expression for IL-6 and TNF-alpha; simultaneously in membranes. Conclusion The findings indicate that IL-6、and TNF-alpha;might be involved in the development of PVR. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1998,14:219-221)
Objective To explore the correlation between interleukin-6 (IL-6) 174G/C polymorphism and ischemic stroke risks. Methods Systematic searches of electronic databases as CBM, CNKI, PubMed, MEDLINE and EMbase were performed. Meta-analysis was conducted by using RevMan 5.1.2 and Stata 11.0 software. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs) were performed. Publication bias was tested by funnel plot, Egger’s regression test and Begg’s test. Sensitivity analysis was made by repeating the fixed effects model or random effects model Meta-analysis with each of the studies individually removed. Results A total of 11 publications with 12 studies were identified. The results of meta-analyses showed no significant difference was found in the correlation between IL-6 174G/C polymorphism and ischemic stroke risks (for G/C vs. G/G: OR=0.98, 95%CI 0.78 to 1.24; for C/C vs. G/G: OR=0.75, 95%CI 0.38 to 1.50; for dominant inheritance model: OR=0.93, 95%CI 0.68 to 1.28; for recessive inheritance model: OR=0.80, 95%CI 0.45 to 1.42). In the subgroup analyses on ethnicity, no significant correlation was found. But in the subgroup analyses on source of control population, the hospital-based subgroup showed IL-6 174G/C polymorphism was the protective factor of ischemic stroke (for G/C vs. G/G: OR=0.56, 95%CI 0.40 to 0.79; for C/C vs. G/G: OR=0.17, 95%CI 0.11 to 0.27; for dominant inheritance model: OR=0.40, 95%CI 0.29 to 0.55; for recessive inheritance model: OR=0.24, 95%CI 0.16 to 0.37). Conclusion Meta-analysis bly suggests that the correlation between IL-6 174 G/C polymorphism and ischemic stroke is not significantly different.
【摘要】 目的 制备小鼠肾炎模型并观察双氢青蒿素（dihydroartemisinine，DHA）对模型小鼠细胞因子肿瘤坏死因子-α（tunor necrosis factor，TNF-α）和白细胞介素-6（inter leukin-6，IL-6）的影响以及小鼠肾脏的病理变化。 方法 取雄性昆明种小鼠120只， 随机分为正常对照组、脂多糖（lipopolysaccharides，LPS）组、LPS+肾匀浆组及DHA治疗组；分别于12、24、48 h取血，酶联免疫吸附试验检测血清中TNF-α和IL-6的含量，苏木精-伊红染色法观察小鼠肾脏的病理变化。 结果 造模48 h LPS+肾匀浆组小鼠肾小球出现炎性细胞浸润，而正常对照组未见异常；LPS组及 DHA治疗组仅有轻微的病理改变。LPS刺激使小鼠血清TNF-α和IL-6含量高于正常水平（Plt;0.01），但有随时间不断下降的趋势；LPS+肾匀浆组较正常对照组TNF-α和IL-6含量升高（Plt;0.01）；DHA可显著下调模型小鼠血清TNF-α的水平（Plt;0.01），但对IL-6的影响相对较小（Pgt;0.05）。 结论 运用改良的造模方法LPS+肾匀浆建立肾炎模型效果良好；DHA可以调节模型小鼠炎症因子TNF-α和IL-6的释放，具有一定的改善模型小鼠肾炎症状的作用。【Abstract】 Objective To establish mice nephritis models, detect the serum level changes of cytokines tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the model mice treated by Dihydroartemisinin (DHA), and observe the physiological changes of the mice kidneys. Methods One hundred and twenty male Kunming mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group, lipopolysaccharides (LPS) group, LPS plus kidney homogenate group, and DHA treated group. The level of cytokines TNF-α and IL-6 in the serum were detected by enzyme-linked immunoabsordent assey at hour 12, 24, and 48, respectively. Pathological changes were observed by hematoxylin: eosin staining. Results At the time hour 48 after the establishment of the model, inflammatory cell infiltration was observed in the glomerulus of the LPS plus kidney homogenate group, but no abnormality was found in the control group. There were only slight pathological changes in mice models of the LPS group and the DHA treated group. The serum level of TNF-α and IL-6 increased remarkably after the treatment of LPS (Plt;0.01), but declined as time went by. The level of TNF-α and IL-6 increased significantly in LPS plus kidney homogenate group compared with the control group (Plt;0.01). DHA could significantly decrease the TNF-α level in the serum (Plt;0.01), but had a low influence on IL-6 (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion The modified LPS plus kidney homogenate has a good result in model establishing. DHA can regulate the release of TNF-α and IL-6 in the model mice, and may have certain good effects on ameliorating the nephritis pathological changes.

【Abstract】ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Salvia Miltiorrhiza (SM) and Shengmai injection （SI） in treating systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and their mechanism. Methods The animal model of SIRS was established by injectinglipopolysaccharide(LPS, 1 mg/kg)intraperitoneally. Forty Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: control group, SM group, SI group and combined treatment group (SM+SI group), which were treated with normal saline（5 ml/kg） plus LPS（1 mg/kg）, SM（5 ml/kg）plus LPSKG4（1 mg/kg）, SI（5 ml/kg）plus LPS（1 mg/kg）, SM（2.5 ml/kg） plus SI（2.5 ml/kg） and LPS（1 mg/kg） respectively. Six rats of each group were sacrificed for sample collection of blood, liver, lung and kidney 8 hours after LPS injection. Blood routine, serum TNF-α and IL-6 were measured. Specimen of organs were fixed in formalin and sent for routine pathological examination. The survival of other 4 rats of each group were observed untill 48 hours after LPS injection. SPSS 10.0 was used in statistical analysis. Results Two rats in control group died 13 hours and 22 hours after LPS injection respectively, the remaining 2 rats in this group and the rats in other 3 groups survived 48 hours after LPS injection. The white blood cell count of control group was significantly higher than that of other groups. The serum TNF-α and IL-6 of control group were significantly more than those of other groups. Pathological damages were found in all groups, and the most severe ones were in control group. SM and SI could decrease the level of serum TNF-α and IL-6 in the process of LPS-stimulated SIRS, down-regulate the severe inflammatory response, attenuate organ damages of the liver, lung and kidney, and increase forty-eihgt-hour survival rate obviously. Conclusion The experiment provides a theoretical base for clinical use of SM and SI in treatment of SIRS.
Objective To study the variety and the action of inflammatory cytokines and the relevant anti-inflammatory factors in acute pancreatitis (AP). Methods The authors observed the change of peripheral blood IL-6 and sTNFR in 41 patients with mild and severe AP in two groups on 1, 5, 14d after acute attack by ELISA. Results All cases recovered gradually in mild group (n＝22) after five days. Twelve patients improved gradually in severe group (n＝19) after 5-7 days. The level of sTNFR increased markedly in 2 groups at 1, 5, 14d(Ｐ＜0.001), and that of the severe group was markedly higher decreased gradually (Ｐ＜0.01). The level of IL-6 increased apparently only in severe group on 1d, 40.38 pg/ml∶12.4 pg/ml, (Ｐ＜0.001). The levels of IL-6 and sTNFR correlated respectively with severity of AP. Conclusion These results show that peripheral blood IL-6 and TNFα are useful index to supervise the severity and conversion and final results of AP.
ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and myocardial cell function disorders in severe chest-abdominal injury patients. MethodsEighty-two subjects with severe chest-abdominal injury were collected from January 2009 to June 2012, of whom the trauma index were all above or equal to 17 points. As the rescue and treatment were in progress, the patients were examined for their creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), cardiac troponin T (cTnT), TNF-α, IL-6, and PLA2 for correlation analysis. Another 82 subjects undergoing physical examination during the same time were chosen as the controls, who were again divided into myocardial cell function control group with 46 subjects and injury factors control group with 36 subjects. ResultsFor the myocardial cell function control group, CK-MB was (8.13±3.64) U/L, and cTnT was (26.71±11.58) pg/mL; for the injury group, those two indexes were respectively (158.74±31.59) U/L and (496.25±58.46) pg/mL. For the injury factors control group, TNF-α was (1.28±0.59) ng/mL, IL-6 was (63.93±41.49) ng/mL, and PLA2 was (7.47±5.27) ng/mL; for the injury group, those three indexes were respectively (36.41±18.09) ng/mL, (393.83±143.86) ng/mL, and (41.35±14.26) ng/mL. For severer chest-abdominal injury patients, all correlation factors between CK-MB and TNF-α, IL-6, PLA2 were above 0.911, and the factors between cTnT and TNF-α, IL-6, PLA2 were all above 0.912, and all correlations were positive. ConclusionTNF-α, IL-6 and PLA2 all participate in the process of acute myocardial cell function disorders in severe chest-abdominal injury patients. Early intervention of TNF-α, IL-6, and PLA2 may reduce myocardial cell damage, and improve patients' survival rate.
