Systemic inflammation is an important feature of post-cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS). This study was designed to determine whether the plasma concentrations of some circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-17 [IL-8], IL-22, IL-23 and IL-33) are of value in predicting the outcome of patients after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) during the post-cardiac arrest period.
This was a prospective observational clinical study. In total, 21 patients (survivors, n = 10; non-survivors, n = 11) who experienced cardiac arrest and successful ROSC with expected survival of at least 7 days were consecutively enrolled from January 2016 to December 2017. Of the 21 enrolled patients, ten survived were designated "survivors". The other eleven patients died between 2 days and 1 months post ROSC. Venous blood was drawn at three time-points: baseline (< 1 h post ROSC), 2 days post ROSC and 7 days post ROSC. Plasma IL-8, IL-22, IL-23 and IL-33 were determined using commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.
Plasma creatinine levels, but aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, were elevated in non-survivors compared with survivors. Plasma levels of IL-17, IL-22, IL-23 and IL-33 of the 21 total patients did not change at 2 or 7 days post ROSC compared to baseline. In survivors, the plasma levels of IL-17 and IL-23 at 2 or 7 days post ROSC were lower than baseline. In non-survivors, plasma levels of IL-17 increased compared with baseline. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the plasma levels of IL-17 and IL-23 at 2 or 7 days post ROSC were able to predict the mortality of PCAS patients, and positively correlated with Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE)-II score and time to ROSC.
These results provide the first evidence that the elevated plasma IL-17 and IL-23 levels are associated with poor outcome in PCAS patients. The role of IL-17/IL-23 axis post ROSC is worth paying attention to in PCAS patients.

全身炎症是心搏骤停后综合征(PCAS)的一个重要特征。本研究旨在确定循环中一些促炎细胞因子(白细胞介素 17 [IL-17]、IL-22、IL-23 和 IL-33)的血浆浓度是否可用于预测心搏骤停后复苏期间患者的预后。
这是一项前瞻性观察性临床研究。2016 年 1 月至 2017 年 12 月,连续纳入 21 例心搏骤停并成功复苏且预计至少存活 7 天的患者(幸存者,n=10;非幸存者,n=11)。在纳入的 21 例患者中,有 10 例存活者被指定为“幸存者”。其余 11 例患者在 ROSC 后 2 天至 1 个月内死亡。在三个时间点采集静脉血:基线(ROSC 后<1 小时)、ROSC 后 2 天和 ROCS 后 7 天。使用商业酶联免疫吸附试验测定血浆 IL-8、IL-22、IL-23 和 IL-33。
与幸存者相比,非幸存者的血浆肌酐水平升高,但天冬氨酸转氨酶(AST)和丙氨酸转氨酶(ALT)水平升高。与基线相比,21 例患者的 IL-17、IL-22、IL-23 和 IL-33 血浆水平在 ROCS 后 2 天或 7 天没有变化。在幸存者中,ROSC 后 2 天或 7 天的 IL-17 和 IL-23 血浆水平低于基线。在非幸存者中,IL-17 血浆水平与基线相比升高。受试者工作特征曲线分析表明,ROSC 后 2 天或 7 天的 IL-17 和 IL-23 血浆水平能够预测 PCAS 患者的死亡率,并与急性生理学和慢性健康评估(APACHE)-II 评分和 ROSC 时间呈正相关。
这些结果首次提供了证据表明,升高的血浆 IL-17 和 IL-23 水平与 PCAS 患者不良预后相关。ROSC 后 IL-17/IL-23 轴的作用值得在 PCAS 患者中引起关注。
