冠心病患者心电图ST段水平与IL-6和脂蛋白(a)水平的关系

目的 研究冠心病患者心肌缺血情况下循环中白细胞介素-6(IL-6)和脂蛋白(a)[LP(a)]水平的关系和临床意义。方法 用ELISA分析试剂盒检测62例冠心病患者和50例健康对照者血浆IL-6，用免疫透射比浊法检测血滑LP(a)，并对心电图(EKG)ST段的情况进行比较。结果 冠心病组血浆IL-6和血清LP(a)水平均较健康对照组显著增高(P＜0．01)。与健康对照组相比，ST段异常组和ST段正常组血浆IL-6水平均显著增高(P＜0．01)；ST段异常组血浆LP(a)水平显著增高(P＜0．01)，ST段正常组血清LP(a)水平有所增高，但无统计学意义(P＞0．05)。ST段异常组血浆IL-6和血清LP(a)水平均显著高于ST段正常组(P＜0．05，P＜0．01)。冠心病患者血浆IL-6和血滑LP(a)水平存在显著的相关性(P＜0．05)。结论 冠心病患者循环中IL-6和LP(a)水平显著升高，高水平IL-6和LP(a)可能反映血管和心肌损伤的发生，LP(a)的增加可能与IL-6刺激肝脏合成LP(a)增加有关。

Are hypodense eosinophils in children activated or immature?

In patients with allergic asthma and rhinitis high numbers of hypodense eosinophils (HE) have been demonstrated. In a previous study we reported that asthmatic and healthy children had more HE than their adult counterparts. We assumed that this might, in part, he due to the presence of immature eosinophils in children. To distinguish between immature and activated eosinophils, determination of eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) might be interesting as it is known that high serum levels of ECP are associated with increased activation of eosinophiis. In this study we determined (he levels of ECP in scrum in asthmatic and healthy children and adults trying to distinguish activated from immature eosinophils. We found that ECP levels were not increased in children (healthy and asthmatic) compared to adults (healthy and asthmatic). This supports the hypothesis that increased numbers of HE in childhood are, at least in part, immature eosinophils. Nevertheless, we could confirm that inflammation was present in children because soluble interleukin-2-receptor (slL-2R), a marker of lymphocyte activation, was higher in asthmatic children as compared to healthy children. IL-6, a marker of macrophage/monocyte activation, was not different in the different patient groups. We conclude that although signs of inflammation are present in childhood asthma, the increased numbers of HE in children are in part due to the presence of immature eosinophils.

Are cytokines possible mediators of cancer cachexia?

The possible role of cytokines in the development of cancer cachexia was reviewed from the literature. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, interferon (IFN)-gamma and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) can elicit many but not all host changes seen in cancer cachexia, including loss of appetite, loss of body weight, and the induction of acute-phase protein synthesis. However, these cytokines are not always demonstrated in the circulation of the cancer patients. The inability to detect circulating cytokines may be due to their low rate of production, their short half-life and rapid clearance from plasma, or their mode of action (autocrine or paracrine). Different cytokines are induced to stimulate the same response. This is very different from hormonal regulation, where a hormone acts on a cell directly through a specific receptor without depending on other mediators. Specific antibodies including anti-IFN-gamma, anti-TNF and anti-IL-6 antibodies, as well as the cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin, have been used to reverse cancer cachexia. Overlapping physiologic activities make it unlikely that a single substance is the sole cause of cancer cachexia. It is hoped that further investigation on other cytokines and their possible relationships with hormones will help to clarify the mechanisms of cancer cachexia in the near future.This work was supported by a grant from the Japan-Sweden Foundation in 1991.
