| Abstract: | ObjectiveTo understand the pathogenetic role and clinical significance of interleukin 6(IL -6),tumor necrosis factor(TNF)and soluble interleukin -2receptor(sIL -2R)in patients with cerebral infarctio n(CI ).MethodsThe IL -6,TNF and sIL -2R levels were measured in 46CI patient s with ELISA.ResultsThe serum IL -6,TNF and sIL -2R levels of CI group were much higher than those of controls group .The variation of IL -6,TNF and sIL -2R levels was c losely related to the size of cerebra l infarction.The serum IL -6,TNF and sIL -2R levels of recovery p eriod were much lower than those of acute period in patients with CI .Conclusions The IL -6,TNF and sIL -2R take part in the pathologi c process after CI .The measurement o f IL -6,TNF and sIL -2R is useful in determining the size of cerebral infarction. |
