To study the relationship between cytokine levels and cardiac troponin I (cTnI).
Prospective experimental study.
Intensive care unit of a university hospital.
Six healthy male volunteers. INTERVENTIONS. Endotoxin, 4 ng/kg, was given as a 1-min intravenous infusion.
Circulating cardiac troponin I levels and proinflammatory cytokines tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) were analysed at various time points during a 24-h period. TNF-alpha appeared in the circulation 30 min after injection (T=0.5 h), reaching peak levels (5,665+/-1,910 pg/ml) 2 h after infusion. At T=24 h TNF-alpha was still elevated in the circulation compared to T=0. None of the six volunteers had a cTnI value higher than 0.1 microg/l at T=0, 6 h or 24 h.
The presence of significant amounts of TNF-alpha, IL-6 and IL-8 in the systemic circulation does not lead to increased levels of cTnI in experimental human endotoxaemia.
研究细胞因子水平与心肌肌钙蛋白I(cTnI)之间的关系。
前瞻性实验研究。
一所大学医院的重症监护病房。
6名健康男性志愿者。干预措施:以4 ng/kg的剂量静脉注射内毒素1分钟。
在24小时内的不同时间点分析循环心肌肌钙蛋白I水平以及促炎细胞因子肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)、白细胞介素-6(IL-6)和白细胞介素-8(IL-8)。TNF-α在注射后30分钟(T = 0.5小时)出现在循环中,在输注后2小时达到峰值水平(5,665±1,910 pg/ml)。在T = 24小时时,与T = 0时相比,TNF-α在循环中仍处于升高状态。6名志愿者在T = 0、6小时或24小时时,cTnI值均未高于0.1 μg/l。
在实验性人类内毒素血症中,全身循环中存在大量TNF-α、IL-6和IL-8并不会导致cTnI水平升高。
