Sandwich ELISA was used to determine the levels of serum IL-13 and NGF in 35 SLE patients and 15 normal controls. The results showed that the levels of serum IL-13 (92.69±9.87 pg/ml) and NGF (339.69±25.60 pg/ml) in active SLE patients were significantly higher than those in inactive SLE patients (IL-13, 54.22±9.31 pg/ml; NGF, 300.89±33.51 pg/ml)(P<0.01). The inactive patients also had significantly increased serum levels of IL-13 and NGF as compared with normal controls (IL-13, 35.20±12.70 pg/ml; NGF, 111.40±32.54 pg/ml; P<0.05 and P<0.01, respectively). Spearman correlation analysis revealed that the serum IL-13 levels were correlated with disease activity index of SLE (SLEDAI), ESR and serum levels of C_3 (r= 0.813, 0.504, -0.605, respectively). The serum NGF levels were also correlated with above markers (r=0.442, 0.338, -0.463, respectively). The serum levels of IL-13 and NGF had a positive correlation (r=0.506, P<0.01). It was suggested that IL-13 and NGF might be involved in the pathogenesis of SLE and closely correlated with disease activity.展开更多

Variation of tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily 13B （TNFRSF13B）, an inflammatory mediator receptor, may associate with IA. OBJECTIVE： To explore the relationship between TNFRSF13B gene and sporadic IA, as well as the clinical characteristics of sporadic IA. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING： Case-control study of genetic association was performed at the Experimental Technology Center of China Medical University from November 2006 to January 2008. PARTICIPANTS： A total of 367 patients with IA, confirmed by three-dimensional computed tomography angiography, magnetic resonance angiography, digital subtraction angiography, and neuro surgery, were admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery, First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University from 2006 to 2007, and were selected as the case group. All patients were Han, with no family history of IA. In addition, a total of 396 non-lA patients were selected as control subjects. METHODS： Peripheral vein blood was harvested to extract whole blood genomic DNA. Genotyping and TNFRSF13B single nucleotide polymorphism （SNP） rs11078355 G〉A allele polymorphisms were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The relationship of TNFRSF13B SNP rs11078355 G〉A polymorphisms to IA and IA clinical characteristics were analyzed using the chi-square and two-sided test. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： TNFRSF13B SNP rs11078355 G〉A genotype distribution. RESULTS： In the IA patients, TNFRSF13B SNP rs11078355 G〉A genotype frequency was significantly increased （X2 = 16.306, odds ratio = 1.881,95% confidence interval = 1.382 2.560, P 〈 0.001）. In IA patients aged 〉 65 years, the frequency of TNFRSF13B SNP rs11078355 GA ＋ AA genotype was significantly greater than the GG genotype （X2 = 26.604, odds ratio = 5.248, 95% confidence interval = 2.662 10.345, P 〈 0.001）. CONCLUSION： The TNFRSF13B gene may associate with sporadic IA in Han Chinese populations In elderly patients, allele A may be an independent risk factor for IA, in addition to senile diseases, such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus.展开更多
