Abstract:
Background and Objective: Inflammation was one of the most important pathophysiological processes during myocardial ischemia. However, it is still poorly understood about the possibilities of these pro- or anti-inflammation factors be used as prognostic parameters for subsequent attenuation of heart functions. Methods and Results: Chinese experimental mini swines (25±4 kg) were instrumented with a size-matched Ameroid constrictor on the left anterior descending branch (LAD) under general anesthesia in sterile conditions (N=15). And a sham group (N=6) was included. 4 weeks after thoracotomy, more than 90% occlusion of the LAD was proved by coronary angiography. Early stage of ischemia was found by echocardiography which showed focal ischemia in the anterior wall of left ventricular (from apex to papillary muscle level) and unchanged ejection fraction. Meanwhile, Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay of serum showed that IL-8 (86.83 ±10.96 vs. 130.3 ±10.94-pg/ml, P =0.0322) and IL-10 (0.9619 ±0.1421 vs. 1.660 ±0.1607-pg/ml, P =0.0111) were dramatically decreased compared to sham group, while no significant changes were found in IL-1 (0.3075 ±0.03558 vs. 0.3045 ±0.057371 -ng/ml, P = 0.9643), IL-6 (307.7 ±27.81 vs. 315.8 ±23.07-pg/ml, P =0.8637), high sensitivity C reactive protein (hsCRP) (12.94 ±1.324 vs. 9.943 ±1.442-ng/ml, P =0.2087) and TNF-a(1.769 ±0.1467 vs. 1.260 ±0.3209-ng/ml, P =0.1121). Furthermore, 8 weeks after thoracotomy, ejection fraction(EF) of myocardial ischemia animals were dramatically attenuated (44.69 ±4.494 vs. 60.60 ±3.420-%, P =0.0428). Subsequent EF (8 weeks postoperation) showed a good linear regression with the IL-10 and hsCRP concentration in the early stage of myocardial ischemia (4 weeks postoperation) (EF= 0.525+ 0.132* IL-10- 0.015* hsCRP, P =0.001) when stepwise regression was performed with all inflammation related factors above as dependent variables. Conclusion: These results demonstrate that lower IL-10 and higher hsCRP in serum may be predictors for the attenuation of heart function caused by myocardial ischemia. Further Clinical trials may help to prove the efficiency of these novel insights of prognosis for ischemia heart diseases.
