Background: percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has become the mainstay of treatment for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Inflammatory factors have been shown to be involved in the initiation and progression of ASCVD. After PCI, the persistence of inflammation, especially the inflammation released at the target lesion, may affect the stability of non-target lesion plaques. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is one of the most common inflammatory factors, however studies about the influence of IL-6 on the progression of non-target lesions (NTLs) of coronary artery are limited. This study investigated whether serum IL-6 levels can affect the progression of NTLs after coronary stent implantation.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study including 441 patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) and stent implantation, who had at least one NTL, between January 2019 and December 2021. They underwent followup CAG 9 to 12 months after PCI. Quartile grouping was based on serum IL-6 levels following readmission. The relationship between serum IL-6 levels and the progression of NTLs after coronary stent implantation was analyzed by using logistic regression analysis and restricted cubic spline regression. Predictive value of IL-6 on NTL progression was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
Results: When compared to the first quartile (Q1) group, the probability of NTL progression was increased in Q2 (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 3.06, 95% CI 1.29-7.29), Q3 (aOR 3.55, 95% CI 1.52-8.26), and Q4 group (aOR 7.51, 95% CI 3.30-17.05), with a trend test 0.001. With the increase of IL-6 levels, the risk of progression of NTLs gradually increased, and there was a non-linear relationship between IL-6 and progression of NTLs ( 0.001). The ROC curve showed that the critical value of the serum IL-6 level was 12.652 pg/mL (area under the curve is 0.673, sensitivity is 54.5%, specificity is 70.9%, 0.05).
Conclusions: A high serum IL-6 level is an independent risk factor for the progression of NTLs after coronary stent implantation, and has certain predictive value for the progression of NTLs.

Patients with cirrhosis have high systemic inflammation (TNFα, CRP, and IL-6) that is associated with poor outcomes. These biomarkers need continuous non-invasive monitoring, which is difficult with blood. We studied the AWARE sweat-sensor to measure these in passively expressed sweat in healthy people (N = 12) and cirrhosis (N = 32, 10 outpatients/22 inpatients) for 3 days.

Background: High-temperature environment can cause acute kidney injury affecting renal filtration function. To study the mechanism of renal injury caused by heat stress through activates TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway by disrupting the filtration barrier in broiler chickens. The temperature of broilers in the TN group was maintained at 23 ± 1 °C, and the HS group temperature was maintained at 35 ± 1℃ from the age of 21 days, and the high temperature was 10 h per day, and one broiler from each replicate group at the age of 35 and 42 days was selected for blood sampling, respectively.

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.
