Expression of serum IL-6,TNF-α,ICAM-1,pNF-H and NSE in patients with acute brain injury

Abstract

Objective To explore the expression and significance of ser(u)m IL-6,TNF-α,ICAM-1,pNF-H and NSE in patients with acute brain injury.Methods 100 patients with acute brain injury were selected and divided into different groups(mild injury,moderate injury,severe injury).The serum levels of IL-6,TNF-α,ICAM-1,pNF-H and NSE were detected.30 healthy persons were selected as healthy control group.Results The serum IL-6,TNF-α,ICAM-1,pNF-H and NSE levels in the patients were higher than those in the healthy control groups(all P＜0.05).The serum levels of them were increased steply with the order of severity(all P＜0.05).IL-6,TNF-α,ICAM-1 were positive correlated with pNF-H and NSE(all P＜0.05).Conclusion The serum levels of IL-6,TNF-α,ICAM-1,pNF-H and NSE were correlated with degree of injury severity.The measurement of them may contribute to predict the severity of brain injury.
