This study was performed to investigate the potential relationship between left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and proinflammatory cytokines in hemodialysis (HD) patients and the effect of HD on cytokine production. Serum interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 beta), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) measurements and echocardiographic studies were performed in 35 stable HD patients. A variety of probable risk factors for LVH including age, HD duration, blood pressure (BP), body mass index, lipid profile, hemoglobin, albumin, parathormone and homocysteine levels were also investigated. Additionally, the effect of HD procedure on cytokine levels was evaluated. Predialysis serum levels of IL-1beta, IL-6, TNF-alpha, and homocysteine in HD patients were compared with 12 healthy subjects. Left ventricular hypertrophy was demonstrated in 20 (57%) of HD patients by echocardiography. Left ventricular mass index (LVMI) was correlated positively with systolic BP (r=0.556, p=0.001), diastolic BP (r=0.474, p=0.004), and serum levels of TNF-alpha (r=0.446, p=0.009). Multiple regression analysis showed that systolic BP and TNF-alpha levels were significant independent predictors of LVH. No relationship was observed between LVH and other parameters. The mean predialysis serum level of IL-6 was significantly higher in HD patients compared to healthy controls (15.7 +/- 8.7 vs. 7.3 +/- 0.7 pg/ mL, p=0.001). Predialysis serum levels of TNF-alpha in HD patients were higher when compared to healthy subjects, but the difference was not statistically significant (8.3 +/- 3 vs. 7 +/- 1.45 pg/mL, respectively, p>0.05). However, serum levels of IL-6 and TNF-alpha significantly elevated after HD, when compared to predialysis levels (from 15.7 +/- 8.7 to 17.8 +/- 9.5 pg/mL, p=0.001 and from 8.3 +/- 3.0 to 9.9 +/- 3.5 pg/mL p=0.004, respectively). As a conclusion, in addition to BP, proinflammatory cytokines, TNF-alpha in particular, seem to be associated with LVH in ESRD patients. 相似文献

Alveolar IL-8 has been reported to early identify patients at-risk to develop ARDS. However, it remains unknown how alveolar IL-8 is related to pulmonary and systemic inflammation in patients predisposed for ARDS. We studied 24 patients 2-6h after multiple trauma. Patients with IL-8 >200 pg/ml in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) were assigned to the group at high risk for ARDS (H, n = 8) and patients with BAL IL-8 <200 pg/ml to the group at low risk for ARDS (L, n = 16). ARDS developed within 24h after trauma in 5 patients at high and at least after 1 week in 2 patients at low risk for ARDS (p = 0.003). High-risk patients had also increased BAL IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-10 and IL-1ra levels (p<0.05). BAL neutrophil counts did not differ between patient groups (H vs. L, 12% (3-73%) vs. 6% (2-32%), p = 0.1) but correlated significantly with BAL IL-8, IL-6 and IL-1ra. High-risk patients had increased plasma levels of pro- but not anti-inflammatory mediators. The enhanced alveolar and systemic inflammation associated with alveolar IL-8 release should be considered to identify high-risk patients for pulmonary complications after multiple trauma to adjust surgical and other treatment strategies to the individual risk profile. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the course of serum cytokine levels in patients with multiple trauma, patients with a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and patients undergoing elective AAA repair and the relationship of these cytokines to the development of adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and multiple organ failure (MOF). SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Severe tissue trauma, hemorrhagic shock, and ischemia-reperfusion injury are pathophysiologic mechanisms that may result in an excessive uncontrolled activation of inflammatory cells and mediators. This inflammatory response is thought to play a key role in the development of (remote) cell and organ dysfunction, which is the basis of ARDS and MOF. METHODS: The study concerns 28 patients with multiple trauma, 20 patients admitted in shock because of a ruptured AAA, and 18 patients undergoing elective AAA repair. Arterial blood was serially sampled from admission (or at the start of elective operation) to day 13 in the intensive care unit, and the serum concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin (IL)-1 beta, and IL-6 were determined. RESULTS: Twenty-two patients died, 15 within 48 hours and 7 after several weeks, as a result of ARDS/MOF. At hospital admission and after 6 hours, these nonsurvivors had significantly higher plasma TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta levels than did the survivors. At the same measuring points, TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta were significantly more elevated in patients with ruptured AAA than in traumatized patients. However, IL-6 was significantly higher in the traumatized patients. In 10 patients, ARDS/MOF developed, and 41 had an uncomplicated course in this respect. Those with ARDS/MOF exhibited significantly different cytokine patterns in the early postinjury phase. TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta levels were higher mainly on the first day of admission; IL-6 concentrations were significantly elevated in patients with ARDS/MOF from the second day onward. The latter cytokine showed a good correlation with the daily MOF score during the whole 2-week observation period. CONCLUSIONS: In the early postinjury phase, higher concentrations of these cytokines are associated, not only with an increased mortality rate, but also with an increased risk for subsequent ARDS and MOF. These data therefore support the concept that these syndromes are caused by an overwhelming autodestructive inflammatory response. 相似文献

Effect of the hemodialysis membrane on the inflammatory reaction in vivo 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19
BACKGROUND: Increased levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of systemic inflammation, are associated with myocardial infarction, stroke and the development of peripheral arterial disease. Hemodialysis patients show signs of an inflammatory reaction indicated by elevated plasma levels of CRP and by increased plasma levels of interleukins. PATIENTS AND METHODS: To investigate the effect of the dialysis membrane on the inflammatory reaction, we conducted a randomized study in 18 hemodialysis patients. Patients were subsequently treated with dialyzers containing polyamide, polycarbonate or cuprophan for 8 weeks on each dialyzer in a crossover design. During each treatment period, CRP plasma levels were measured 6 times at weekly intervals. The total content and the spontaneous and lipopolysaccharide- (LPS) stimulated production of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), IL-6 and IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) were determined in whole blood samples. RESULTS: CRP plasma levels were significantly higher in hemodialysis patients (all patients, 1.63 +/- 0.23 mg/dl) compared to normals (0.14 +/- 0.02 mg/dl, p < 0.0001). CRP levels were lower when patients were dialyzed with polyamide (1.19 +/- 0.18 mg/dl) compared to the levels when the same patients were dialyzed with cuprophan (1.77 +/- 0.37 mg/dl, p = 0.02) or with polycarbonate (1.34 +/- 0.2 mg/dl, n.s). The whole blood content of IL-1Ra in non-incubated samples was significantly lower in normal subjects (512 +/- 60 pg/ml) compared to hemodialysis patients (980 +/- 80 pg/ml, p < 0.01). The whole blood content of IL-1Ra was higher when patients were dialyzed with cuprophan (1,062 +/- 119 pg/ml) compared to the same patients on polyamide (906 +/- 78 pg/ml, p < 0.05) or on polycarbonate (973 +/- 80 pg/ml, n.s.). Spontaneous and LPS-induced production of IL-1beta and IL-6 was similar for all dialyzers. CONCLUSION: We conclude that the inflammatory reaction in hemodialysis patients is affected by the choice of the dialyzer. 相似文献

To determine if bone cells produce interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), a potent bone resorption-stimulating agent, we studied well-characterized, nearly homogeneous cultures of normal human osteoblast-like (hOB) cells. With four strains of such cells, vehicle-treated cultures produced minimal IL-1 beta (mean +/- SEM, 1.3 +/- 0.3 pg/ml per 10(6) cells per 24 h) and showed dose-dependent (r = 0.99) increases to 2.2 +/- 0.7, 5.0 +/- 0.9, or 17.8 +/- 6.7 pg/ml, respectively, after treatment with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) at 3, 10, or 30 micrograms/ml (for increases after 10 and 30 micrograms/ml treatments, P less than 0.05). After treatment with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) at 10 U/ml, IL-1 beta increased to 16.2 +/- 3.7 pg/ml (P less than 0.05). Neither 17 beta-estradiol nor bovine parathyroid hormone(1-34) (each at 10 nM), alone or in combination with LPS or TNF-alpha, affected IL-1 beta release. Northern blot analysis of total cellular RNA preparation revealed a single hybridization band at 1.9 kb when probed with a partially deleted cDNA for human IL-1 beta. The steady-state IL-1 beta mRNA levels showed a significant increase with LPS treatment and a lesser increase with TNF-alpha treatment in hOB cells. Moreover, TNF-alpha produced an even greater increase in IL-1 mRNA in HOBIT cells, a well-differentiated clonal cell line derived from normal hOB cells transfected with the SV40 large T antigen. We conclude that human cells of the osteoblast lineage produce IL-1 beta in response to well-recognized stimuli for IL-1 release from responsive tissue.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to use an established porcine model to investigate the effects on immune function of severe gunshot injury. METHODS: Twelve pigs sustained two standardised rounds, one through right femur and one through left upper abdomen. First aid treatment and acute surgery was started immediately. Blood samples were drawn before shooting and after 75 min. Circulating neutrophils were isolated and reactive oxygen species (ROS) measured. Serum levels of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), IL-6, and IL-10 were determined at 0, 75 min, as well as 2h after incubation with 1 microg/ml endotoxin in an ex vivo whole blood model. RESULTS: TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and IL-6 significantly increased at 75 min. ROS in circulating granulocytes tended to increase (NS). Incubation with endotoxin led to a more than 100-fold increase of TNF-alpha pre-trauma, compared to a three-fold increase post-trauma (p<0.0001 between groups). A similar pattern was obtained for IL-1beta, and IL-6. IL-10 was below detection in all samples. The granulocytes maintained their ability to react to the protein kinase C activator phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) after trauma. CONCLUSION: Severe gunshot injury and peritraumatic stress rapidly activate circulating immune cells, but reduce their capacity to react to a subsequent challenge to endotoxin. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The role of circulating monocytes in the process of low-grade inflammation, characteristic of chronic heart failure (CHF), has recently been questioned. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) desensitization has been proposed to mediate reduced monocyte cytokine elaboration in patients with severe CHF. METHODS: Intracellular monocyte production of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, and monocyte CD 14 expression were measured flow-cytometrically without and after 8-hour LPS stimulation in 46 patients with CHF and in a healthy control group. RESULTS: Basal cytokine concentrations were similar for the control and the mild CHF groups (New York Heart Association [NYHA] Class I or II). After LPS stimulation, IL-6 (p=0.002) and TNF-alpha levels (p=0.001) were lower in the latter group, whereas IL-1 beta production was comparable. For the moderate-severe CHF patients, unstimulated IL-1 beta (p=0.04) was higher, whereas IL-6 (p=0.2) and TNF-alpha (p=0.1) levels were not different from the controls. Measurement of LPS-stimulated cytokine production showed no differences between the control group and patients with moderate-severe CHF (all p= 0.5). Upon comparing mild vs moderate-severe CHF patients, higher levels of unstimulated cytokine production (IL-1 beta, p=0.002; IL-6, p=0.01; TNF-alpha, p=0.003), stimulated IL-1 beta (p=0.002) and IL-6 (p=0.008) were found in the latter patients. CD 14 expression in the moderate-severe CHF group was higher than in the mild-CHF group (p = 0.03) and was strongly related to stimulated IL-1 beta (r=0.62, p<0.0001), IL-6 (r=0.56, p=0.0002) and TNF-alpha (r=0.41, p=0.006) production. CONCLUSIONS: CD 14 expression and monocyte cytokine production, both unstimulated and after LPS stimulation, are increased in moderate-severe CHF when compared with mild CHF. These data suggest that circulating monocytes, possibly via increased CD 14 expression, may play a significant role in the immunologic dysbalance observed in advanced CHF. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To assess changes of interleukin 6 (IL-6) and interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) in serum, sputum, and drained pleural fluid of patients operated on due to lung cancer. METHODS: Twenty-seven patients treated with lobectomy or pneumonectomy, including 14 with complications and 13 without complications, were analyzed. Serum IL-6 and IL-1ra concentration was measured before, at the end of surgery, and on postoperative day 1, 3, and 7, by ELISA test. Additionally, concentration of IL-6 and IL-1ra was measured in sputum at the end of surgery and in pleural fluid on postoperative day 1. RESULTS: In the entire group serum concentrations of IL-6 and IL-1ra were significantly elevated after surgery, in comparison with preoperative values. Serum IL-6 concentration was higher in patients with complications only on day 7 (median 59.0 (range: 41.25-76.65) pg/ml vs 21.5 (9.87-35.0) pg/ml; p=0.012). Patients with complications had higher concentration of IL-6 in pleural fluid (91312 (51812-94872) pg/ml vs 2006 (1926-2108) pg/ml; p=0.00008). Serum IL-1ra concentration was higher in patients with complications on day 1 (1832.4 (1144.7-2362.2) pg/ml vs 1088.4 (817.5-1312.5) pg/ml; p=0.01). Concentration of IL-1ra in drained fluid was higher in patients with complications (68128.8 (48104-108564) pg/ml vs 16470 (15930-16875) pg/ml; p=0.0003). On day 1 after surgery a significant correlation between serum and pleural fluid concentration for IL-6 as well as for IL-1ra were observed (Spearman test for IL-6: r=0.47; p=0.02; for IL-1ra: r=0.48; p=0.02). CONCLUSIONS: Elevated concentrations of IL-6 and IL-1ra in pleural fluid on postoperative day 1 are promising early markers of postoperative complications. Elevated concentrations of IL-6 and IL-1ra in serum are good early markers of severity of surgical injury and may reflect development of postoperative complications. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The production of monocytic cytokines by isolated mononuclear cells after stimulation by phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is generally increased in haemodialysed (HD) patients. We performed whole blood (WB) cultures to evaluate cytokine production by blood cells inside their complex cellular and humoral network. METHODS: Diluted whole blood from HD patients (collected before dialysis) and controls was cultured alone with PHA (2.5 microg/ml) or LPS (1 and 3 microg/ml). Supernatants were collected after 24 and 48 h of culture, and concentrations of IL-1 beta, IL-6, TNF-alpha, sIL-6R and IL-1Ra were determined by ELISA. RESULTS: The low spontaneous production of IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha in both patients and controls was not significantly modified by PHA. The lower dose of LPS (1 microg/ml) induced a significant but lower increase in production of IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha in patients than in controls. In contrast, while it did not further increase their production in controls, the higher concentration of LPS (3 microg/ml) still increased their production in patients to the same level than in controls. The plasma concentrations of sIL-6R were higher in patients than in controls. In both groups, the sIL-6R concentration did not vary during the culture period whether the cells were stimulated or not with LPS or PHA. This suggests that the increased plasma levels of sIL-6R were not produced by blood cells. Despite a similar significant LPS and PHA induced production of IL-1Ra, the IL-1Ra/IL-1beta ratio was always higher in patients than in controls. CONCLUSION: Monocytes from HD patients in WB cultures are hyporesponsive to PHA and LPS for their IL-1beta, TNFalpha and IL-6 production in contrast to isolated monocytes that demonstrate signs of activation. If it reflects the in vivo situation it could partly explain the immune defect in uraemic and haemodialysed patients. Higher sIL-6R/IL-6 and IL-1Ra/IL-1beta ratios could also participate to the complex immune disturbances of HD patients by reducing the biological activity of two cytokines playing a major role in the immune and inflammatory network. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) was suggested to modulate inflammatory cytokine production. Angiotensin II was consistently shown to increase production of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha). However, inflammatory cytokines and RAS were modulated by genetic polymorphisms such as TNF-alpha-308 G > A and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) I/D gene polymorphisms. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ACE and TNF-alpha genotypes on inflammatory cytokines in hemodialysis (HD) patients. METHODS: ACE I/D and TNF-alpha-308 G > A genotypes, pre- and postdialysis plasma renin activity (PRA), serum ACE, interleukin-1 beta (IL-1beta), and TNF-alpha levels were determined in 22 HD patients. RESULTS: Predialysis serum ACE activity is correlated with TNF-alpha (r = 0.63; P = 0.01), and PRA was correlated with IL-1beta levels (r = 0.49; P = 0.02). Pre/postdialysis IL-1beta and TNF-alpha were similar in DD and II/ID ACE genotypes. Predialysis TNF-alpha and IL-1beta (32.4 +/- 5; 35.1 +/- 4.2 vs. 28.1 +/- 3.7; 26.5 +/- 6.2 pg/mL; P < 0.05) and postdialysis TNF-alpha levels (30.4 +/- 1.4 vs. 28.4 +/- 0.82 pg/mL; P < 0.05) were significantly higher in TNF1/2 than TNF1/1 patients. CONCLUSION: ACE and TNF-alpha-308 G > A (1/2) gene polymorphisms may contribute to modulation of proinflammatory cytokine production and hence chronic inflammation in HD patients. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Angiogenesis has been implicated in the pathogenesis of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP). The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between plasma concentrations of the angiogenic cytokines interleukin 8 (IL-8), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and endothelin-1 (ET-1) and clinical parameters of disease progression over a 6 month period to identify potential aetiological mediators and prognostic markers of disease activity in patients with IIP. METHODS: Forty nine patients with IIP (40 men) were recruited to the study. Plasma cytokine measurements, pulmonary function tests, and high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scans were performed on recruitment and after 6 months. Plasma cytokine measurements were also performed in 15 healthy volunteers for control purposes. RESULTS: Patients with IIP had significantly higher median (IQR) baseline concentrations of IL-8 and ET-1 than controls (155 (77-303) pg/ml v 31 (0-100) pg/ml, p<0.001) and (1.21 (0.91-1.88) pg/ml v 0.84 (0.67-1.13) pg/ml, p<0.01), respectively. Baseline concentrations of IL-8, ET-1, and VEGF were significantly related to the baseline HRCT fibrosis score (r = 0.42, p<0.005; r = 0.39, p<0.01; and r = 0.42, p<0.005, respectively). Patients with IIP who developed progressive disease had significantly higher baseline levels of IL-8 (345 (270-497) pg/ml v 121 (73-266) pg/ml, p = 0.001) and VEGF (1048 (666-2149) pg/ml v 658 (438-837) pg/ml, p = 0.019). Over 6 months the change in VEGF was significantly related to the change in HRCT fibrosis score (r = 0.565, p = 0.035) and negatively related to the change in forced vital capacity (r = -0.353, p = 0.035). 相似文献

The effects of sterilization modalities on dialysis-induced cytokine release are still unknown. To investigate these effects, 8 patients on chronic hemodialysis were enrolled for evaluating at different intervals interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) production (pg/ml/106). They were using a 1.3 m2 ethylene oxide (E3) or steam (E3S) sterilized Cuprophan membrane. The patients underwent a basal test with E3 (A1) and 2 following tests after 1 (B1) and 2 (B2) months of E3S treatment, respectively. Finally, the last test was performed 1 month after the switch to E3 (A2). Il-1beta predialysis release by mononuclear cells was 162 +/- 114 pg/ml/106 in A1, 185 +/- 129 pg/ml/106 in B1, and 226 +/- 138 pg/ml/106 in B2, then decreased to 123 +/- 134 in A2 (p < 0.07). Il-1beta postdialysis levels were 234 +/- 238 pg/ml/106 in A1, 429 +/- 285 pg/ml/106 (B1), and 438 +/- 473 pg/ml/106 (B2) with the steam membrane, decreasing to 204 +/- 134 pg/ml/106 in A2 (p < 0.01). TNF-alpha predialysis basal release (A1) was 826 +/- 817 pg/ml/106, 720 +/- 496 in B1, and 1079 +/- 515 pg/ml/106 in B2, and finally 680 +/- 588 pg/ml/106 in A2 (p < 0.03). In postdialysis TNF-alpha levels were 963 +/- 542 pg/ml/106 in A1, 1,226 +/- 541 pg/ml/106, and 1,183 +/- 776 in B1 and B2 respectively, and 388 +/- 297 pg/ml/106 in A2 (p < 0.003). Steam sterilization seems to induce a higher cytokine release by mononuclear cells when a Cuprophan membrane is used. This finding may be related to a less physiologic action of the steam in the case of Cuprophan membranes. Further studies are needed to clarify this hypothesis. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) may be regarded as an example of an uncontrolled or excessive inflammatory response in which tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) has been proposed to play a central role. Interleukin 10 (IL-10) has been identified as an important regulator of this response. The potential role for IL-10 in this context was investigated by measuring the relative production of IL-10 and TNF-alpha protein in the plasma, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid, and alveolar macrophage culture supernatants of patients with, or at risk of developing, ARDS. METHODS: Twenty six patients were studied from three groups at risk of or with ARDS: sepsis (n = 12), multiple trauma (n = 8), and perforated bowel (n = 6). Ten patients had ARDS. Bronchoalveolar lavage and venepuncture were performed within 24 hours of arrival on the intensive therapy unit or of diagnosis of ARDS. IL-10 and TNF-alpha protein were detected in the plasma, BAL fluid, and alveolar macrophage supernatants by sandwich enzyme linked immunoabsorbent assays. RESULTS: The median IL-10 concentrations in the plasma and BAL fluid of patients with ARDS were significantly lower than the concentrations detectable in the plasma (median difference-17.5, 95% CI -52.4 to 1.31, p < 0.05) and BAL fluid of at risk patients (median difference -32.1, 95% CI -47.5 to 2.3, p < 0.05). There was a tendency towards enhanced concentrations of TNF- alpha detectable in the alveolar macrophage supernatants and the BAL fluid of patients with ARDS compared with at risk patients, although this did not reach statistical significance. No difference was observed in the plasma concentrations of TNF-alpha between the two groups. The ratios of TNF-alpha to IL-10 protein in the BAL fluid of patients with ARDS and at risk patients were 3.52 and 0.85, respectively (median difference 1.44, 95% CI 0.07 to 5.01, p < 0.01). There was no difference in alveolar macrophage production of IL-10 between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the potential importance of the pro-inflammatory versus the anti-inflammatory imbalance in ARDS which may be reflected by the ratio of IL-10 and TNF-alpha in the lung.

Interleukin-1 beta and tumor necrosis factor-alpha release in normal and diseased human infrarenal aortas. 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The presence of chronic inflammatory cells in the adventitia and media of abdominal aortic aneurysms and aortic occlusive disease suggest an immunologic response. The purpose of this study is to determine whether normal or diseased infrarenal aortas liberate the inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta). Twenty-six infrarenal aortic biopsies (5 aortic occlusive disease, 15 abdominal aortic aneurysms, and 6 cadaveric donors) were weighed, minced into small pieces, and incubated in media for 48 hours. Conditioned media was harvested at 48 hours and assayed for IL-1 beta or TNF-alpha with use of an ELISA assay. Comparison of groups was performed with a one-way analysis of variance. The constitutive IL-1 beta produced by abdominal aortic aneurysms was significantly different than that in cadaveric donors (908 +/- 194 pg/ml [SE] vs 100 +2- 30 pg/ml). There was no statistically significant difference between abdominal aortic aneurysms and aortic occlusive disease (908 +/- 194 pg/ml vs 604 +/- 256 pg/ml) or aortic occlusive disease and cadaveric donor (604 +/- 256 vs 100 +/- 30). In time-course studies for the release of IL-1 beta, abdominal aortic aneurysms demonstrated maximal release at 48 hours. IL-1 beta release was augmented by lipopolysaccharide in all categories. A dose response curve demonstrated maximal IL-1 beta release on stimulation with 5 micrograms/ml LPS. Constitutive TNF-alpha production was low, ranging from 13 +/- 1.5 pg/ml in cadaveric donor, to 20 pg/ml in aortic occlusive disease, and 24 +/- 11 pg/ml in abdominal aortic aneurysms. There was no augmentation in TNF-alpha with lipopolysaccharide.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Prolonged and complex laparoscopic procedures expose patients to large volumes of cool insufflation gas. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of a conventional room temperature carbon dioxide (CO2) pneumoperitoneum with those of a body temperature pneumoperitoneum. METHODS: Patients were randomized to undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy with a CO2 pneumoperitoneum warmed to either body temperature (n = 15) or room temperature (n = 15). The physiologic and immunologic effects of warming the gas were examined by measuring peroperative core and intraperitoneal temperatures, peritoneal fluid cytokine concentrations, and postoperative pain. RESULTS: The mean duration of surgery was 32 min in both groups. Core temperature was reduced in the room temperature group (mean, 0.42 degrees C; p < 0.05). No reduction in temperature occurred when the gas was warmed. Greater levels of cytokines were detected in peritoneal fluid from the room temperature insufflation group tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha): mean, 10.9 pg/ml vs. 0.42, p < 0.05; interleukin 1 beta (IL-1beta): mean, 44.8 pg/ml vs. 15.5, p < 0.05; and IL-6: mean, 60.4 ng/ml vs. 47.2. There was no difference in postoperative pain scores or analgesia consumption between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: The authors conclude that intraoperative cooling can be prevented by warming the insufflation gas, even in short laparoscopic procedures. In addition, warming the insufflation gas leads to a reduced postoperative intraperitoneal cytokine response. 相似文献

Circulating proinflammatory cytokines may be involved in osteopenia associated with Crohn's disease (CD). Therefore, the effect of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1beta, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) a contained in Crohn's serum on bone formation was examined in a bone organ culture system. Initially, serum levels of IL-6, IL-1beta, and TNF-a were determined by ELISA in newly diagnosed, untreated children with CD and healthy age-matched controls. Serum IL-6 levels were significantly higher in patients with CD than in controls (23.9 +/- 2.8 pg/ml vs. 0.7 pg/ml +/- 0.2; p < 0.001), whereas IL-1beta and TNF-alpha serum levels were not. In the organ culture studies, 20-day-old fetal rat parietal bones were incubated for 96 h with CD or control serum, serum preincubated with a neutralizing antibody to each cytokine or a nonimmune immunoglobulin control, and with IL-6. Bone formation measured by assaying calcium content and dry weight was significantly decreased in bones exposed to Crohn's serum. Light microscopy of the bones treated with CD serum revealed a discontinuous, uneven mineralized bone matrix and disorganized osteoblasts with altered morphology. Incubation with an antibody that neutralized IL-6 activity prevented the change in osteoblast and bone morphology. TNF-a and IL-1beta antibodies had no apparent effects. Collagen synthesis and DNA content were not affected by CD serum. Also, addition of IL-6 to the culture medium decreased mineralization. These results suggest that IL-6 is a mediator of the effects of Crohn's serum on in vitro mineralization and may be a contributing factor to the osteopenia associated with CD. 相似文献

Inflammation is an essential component of normal wound healing. This study has correlated systemic (plasma) and local (wound fluid) concentrations of inflammatory cytokines (interleukin [IL]-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha [TNF-alpha], and IL-1beta) with wound healing and surgical outcome following elective colorectal surgery. Paired plasma and wound fluid samples were collected (n = 44) postoperatively (days 1, 3, 5, 7) and analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (pg/mL). Cytokine levels were significantly greater in drain fluid than plasma on each postoperative day (POD); e.g., POD 1 : IL-6; drain fluid, median, 77,050 pg/mL (range 9,928-456,408); plasma, 241 pg/mL (22-1,333). Daily profiles of IL-6 and TNF-alpha were similar in drain fluid and plasma; IL-6 levels peaked on POD 1 decreasing to POD 7, and TNF-alpha levels increased from PODs 1 to 7. However, IL-1beta in plasma peaked on POD 1 and plateaued, whereas drain fluid showed two peaks (PODs 1 and 7). Only plasma levels of cytokines correlated to clinical parameters; IL-6 levels significantly correlated with postoperative complications; e.g., POD 5, complications 92(1-597) and no complications, 14(2-217). IL-6 also correlated with tumor pathology (Dukes stage, tumor depth, vascular invasion), and TNF-alpha levels correlated with the estimated blood loss during surgery. We conclude that local wound levels of cytokines correlated with the stage of wound healing, whereas systemic levels correlated with postoperative complications and tumor pathology. 相似文献
