Objective To observe the positive rate of serum anti-cardiac troponin Ⅰ autoantibodies (anti-cTnI) in the patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease(CHD) and its clinical significance.Methods A total of 200 CHD patients and 200 healthy controls from the Department of Cardiology,Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School during September 2015 and May 2016 were collected in the case-control study.Serum anti-cTnI was detected with an indirect ELISA method.Meanwhile,the general data,chnical biochemical parameters and coronary vascular lesion from the two groups were analyzed.Results The positive rate of anti-cTnI in CHD patients(21/200,10.5%) was significantly higher than that in healthy controls(4/200,2.0%,P < 0.01).According to the detection results of serum anti-cTnI,the participants were divided into three groups,including anti-cTnI positive group with CHD,anti-cTnd negative group with CHD and anti-cTnI positive group in healthy controls.The median age and serum Glu level in the anti-cTnI positive group with CHD were significantly higher than those in the anti-cTnI positive group in healthy controls (P < 0.05),while the levels of serum HDL-C and apoA I were inverse (P < 0.01).The median age and Gensini score in the anti-cTnⅠ positive group with CHD were significantly higher than those in the anti-cTnI negative group with CHD,while the level of serum HDL-C was inverse (P < 0.05).Conclusion Anti-cTnI may be more likely to occur in old CHD patients with severe coronary artery lesions,and the low levels of serum HDL-C and apoA Ⅰ may correlate to the production of anti-cTnⅠ.

Objective To explore changes of expression of pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the hippocam-pus of Aβ1-42-induced Alzheimer’s disease (AD) rat model. Methods Twenty-four SD rats were divided into control group, PBS group (PBS was injected into CA1 area of hippocampus) and AD model group (Aβ1-42 was injected into CA1 area of hip-pocampus). The escape latency was evaluated by Morris water maze in three groups. Nissl staining was used to detect the le-sions of hippocampal CA1 neurons. Levels of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) in hippo-campus were measured by Western blot analysis. Real-time PCR was employed to examine the expressions of pro-inflamma-tory cytokines, including interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ), and the mRNA expressions of anti-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-4, IL-10 and transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β). Re-sults Rats subjected to Aβ1-42 injection in bilateral hippocampus led to a ability reduction of learning and memory, a loss of neurons in hippocampus and an increase in the expression of APP, and a decrease in PP2A expression in the hippocampus. In AD hippocampus, The mRNA expressions of the pro-inflammatory mediator, IL-1β, TNF-αand IFN-γ, were significant-ly up-regulated, but the expressions of the anti-inflammatory cytokines, IL-4, IL-10 and TGF-β, were markedly down-reg-ulated in AD group compared with those of control and PBS groups. Conclusion The pro-inflammatory/anti-inflammatory imbalance induced neuro-inflammation in AD rats, which was involved in pathogenesis of AD.
