Objective: To explore interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) and IL-6 gene polymorphism, and investigate the relationship between their gene polymorphism and the morbid state of patients with acute pancreatitis (AP).

Methods: The polymorphism of IL-1 beta gene 511C/T and IL-6 gene 634C/G site was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) in patients (74 patients) with AP, including mild acute pancreatitis (MAP, 36 patients) and severe acute pancreatitis (SAP, 38 patients), and also a group of normal control (78 patients). The plasma concentrations of IL-1 beta and IL-6 were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The patients with SAP were divided into groups on the basis of different genotypes, and the clinical data were compared among different groups.

Results: The plasma levels of IL-1 beta and IL-6 in patients with AP were significantly higher than normal control group [IL-1 beta: (13.16+/-2.82) ng/L vs. (6.21+/-1.57) ng/L; IL-6: (84.86+/-32.92) ng/L vs. (9.95+/-2.49) ng/L, both P<0.05]. There was no statistical significance between IL-1 beta gene 511 site and IL-6 gene 634 site genotype or allele frequency between the patients with AP and the normal control. In patients with SAP, IL-1 beta gene 511 site T/T genotype and T allele frequency were significantly higher than that of MAP group (both P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in plasma levels of IL-1 beta between C/C group and C/T+T/T group, and the plasma levels of IL-6 in patients with IL-6 gene 634 site C/G were significantly higher than C/C group [(97.23+/-35.49) ng/L vs. (72.14+/-24.55) ng/L, P<0.05]. In patients with SAP, the scores of clinical evaluation in IL-1 beta gene 511 site C/T+T/T group and IL-6 gene 634 site C/G group were significantly higher than that in IL-1 beta gene 511 site C/C group and IL-6 gene 634 site C/C group (all P<0.05).

Conclusion: IL-1 beta gene 511 site C/T and IL-6 gene 634 site C/G polymorphism may be genetic susceptibility factors for exacerbation of AP.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the potential additive effects of measuring serum interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) on enhancing the predictive value of baseline serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels for predicting 12-week antidepressant treatment responses in patients with depressive disorders.

Methods: Serum levels of hsCRP, IL-1β, and IL-6 were measured at baseline in 1086 outpatient participants diagnosed with depressive disorders. Participants initially received monotherapy with antidepressants for the first three weeks, followed by a naturalistic, stepwise pharmacotherapy regimen administered every three weeks up to 12 weeks.

This study investigated the effects of bamboo shoot extract (Bambusa vulgaris) as a feed additive on the health profiles and infection resistance of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) against Pseudomonas putida. Bamboo shoot extract was added at levels of 0 g, 40 g, and 60 g per 1000 g of diet over a 60-day period. The fish were then challenged with a pathogenic P.

Galvanic current has been emerging as a novel therapy to regenerate chronic tissue lesions, including musculoskeletal and dermatological lesions. Recently, the NLRP3 inflammasome and IL-1β release have been identified as a signaling pathway triggered upon galvanic current application. However, the parameters for the clinical application of galvanic current remain subjective to the experience of the facultative in charge.

To investigate the regulatory mechanisms and pathways of visfatin under immune stress injury in weaned piglets, we established a lipopolysaccharide-induced immune stress model in weaned piglets to study how visfatin affects peripheral immune organs and intestinal function. The results revealed that visfatin improved the inflammatory response in immune-stressed weaned piglets by reducing the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β, interleukin-6 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, as well as decreasing the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio. Visfatin ameliorated oxidative stress in piglets by promoting the expression of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase.
