Chinese Journal of Neuromedicine 2008;7(10):1060-1062
Objective To investigate the correlation of serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-18levels to carotid artery intimal-medial thickness (IMT) in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI).Methods In 64 patients with ACI and 30 healthy volunteers, serum IL-6 and IL-18 levels were detectedusing radioimmunoassay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), respectively. Carotid arteryIMT were measured in the two groups using color Doppler ultrasound, and the ACI patients were dividedinto two groups with carotid IMT greater or lower than 1.0 mm. Results The ACI patients and thehealthy volunteers showed significant differences in serum IL-6 (P<0.05) and IL-18 levels (P<0.05),which were also significantly different between ACI patients with carotid IMT ≥ 1.0 mm and those withIMT<1.0 mm (P<0.05). The ACI patients with IMT<1.0 mm had comparable serum IL-6 and IL-18 levelsto those in the healthy volunteers. In patients with carotid IMT ≥ 1.0 mm, the serum IL-18 level waspositively correlated to IMT (r=0.549, P=0.001), but the IL-6 level was not related to IMT (P>0.05).Conclusion The serum levels of IL-6 and IL-18 are elevated in ACI patients with increased carotid IMT.

Objective To identify the impact of age and gender on cardiac structure and left ventricular function in normal Chinese by echocardiography. Methods Cardiac structure, valve flow velocity and cardiac function were measured by echocardiography in 15 692 healthy volunteers. Subjects were grouped by age at 5 years interval in population older than 5 years. Children under 5 years were divided into 3 age groups(<1 years,1-3 years,4-5 years). Hierarchical cluster analyses were performed for ages, based on indexes of cardiac structure and function respectively. Results Six groups (< 1 years, 1-3 years,4-5 years, 6-10 years, 11-20 years, ≥21 years) were generated after the age hierarchical cluster analyses based on index of cardiac structure. Four groups (≤30 years, 31-50 years, 51-80 years,≥81 years) were generated based on spectral current flow. Six groups (< 1 years,1-3 years,4-5 years, 6-10 years, 11-15 years, ≥16 years) were generated baaed on left ventricular systolic function and five groups (≤15 years, 16-30 years, 31-50 years, 51-80 years, ≥81 years) were generated based on left ventricular diastolic function. Cardiac structure index were similar between male and female in age groups ≤ 10 years and significantly lower in females than males in age groups ≥ 11 years (P < 0.05). Valve flow velocity was similar between male and female in various age groups (P >0.05). Left ventricular systolic function was similar between male and female in age groups ≤10 years but was significantly higher in males than females in age groups ≥11 years(all P <0.05). Left ventricular diastolic function was similar between female and male in various age groups (P > 0.05) and equally decreased with aging in both female and male subjects. Conclusions The cardiac development in Chinese population can be divided in 6 phases and becomes stable in subjects older than 21 years, left ventricular systolic function becomes stable in subjects older than 16 years and the left ventricular diastolic function declines physiologically with aging.
