Methods: Data from brain CT, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) at admission, and 6-month Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) and mod ified Rankin Scale (mRS) were collected for 151 prospectively recruited patients with TBI. IL-1RN and IL-1B genotypes were determined using standard methods. Presence vs absence of any type of brain hemorrhage was the main outcome. Type o f brain hemorrhage, GCS at admission, and 6-month GOS and mRS were secondary ou tcomes. Odd ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95%CI were calculated using logistic regression analyses. In adjusted models, the associations were controlled for a ge, gender, diffuse brain edema, volume of intracranial hematoma, neurosurgical intervention, and GCS at admission. p values less than 0.01 were considered sign ificant. Results: Compared with noncarriers, IL-1RN allele 2 carriers had highe r odds of having cerebral hemorrhages after TBI (adjusted OR = 4.57; 95%CI = 1. 67 to 12.96; p = 0.004). The associations for (-511) IL-1B polymorphism were n ot significant. Conclusion: There is an association between the presence of inte rleukin-1RN allele 2 and posttraumatic brain hemorrhage.展开更多

Pepsinogen (PG) Ⅰ and Ⅱ of 255 subjects (including 117 health volunteers) were also examined.RESULTS: T/T genotype individuals with H pylori infection had a more decreased PG Ⅰ/Ⅱ ratio. In gastric antrum mucosa, the individuals with H pylori infection had higher IL-1B expression than those without H pylori infection, but there was no obvious difference among each genotype. In gastric corpus, the individuals with H pylori infection had a significantly higher IL-1B expression than those without H pylori infection. IL-1B-511T/T genotype was markedly higher as compared with the other two genotypes. Both maximal acid output and basic acid output were similar among each genotype in IL-1B-511 gene locus, regardless of H pylori infection.CONCLUSION: IL-1B-511 T allele does not decrease gastric acid output, although it has a stimulated influence on IL-1B expression. Consequently, the pathway,through which IL-1B plays a central role in gastric cancer development, might not depend on low acid, but on the other regulation mechanisms.展开更多
