Abstract
ObjectivesThis study explores the correlation between serum cholesterol, interleukin-10 (IL-10), macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), and post-intracerebral hemorrhage (post-ICH) depression in patients with acute ICH. Methods35 patients with acute primary supratentorial ICH were recruited. Serum cholesterol, including total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC), IL-10, and MIF were measured in the first morning after admission. Additionally, a 24-item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-24) was used to detect depressive symptoms one week after admission. HAMD scores ≥ 8 indicated a diagnosis of post-ICH depression. ResultsThe levels of TC were significantly lower in ICH patients with depression compared to those without [169.26(139.23–215.67) mg/dL vs. 200.46(182.81–224.74) mg/dL, P = 0.010]. Similarly, levels of LDLC [102.18(78.39–137.28) mg/dL vs. 135.14(120.22–170.63) mg/dL, P = 0.001] and IL-10 [17.56(16.03–22.52) pg/mL vs. 31.17(23.42–37.53) pg/mL, P = 0.001] were also lower in patients with post-ICH depression. Furthermore, the levels of TC (r = -0.433, P = 0.009), TG (r = -0.345, P = 0.043), LDLC (r = -0.549, P = 0.001), and IL-10 levels (r = -0.603, P < 0.001) showed negative correlations with the HAMD scores. Logistic regression analysis indicated that higher IL-10 levels (OR = 0.847, 95 % CI = 0.717–0.999, P = 0.049) were indicative of protection against post-ICH depression in the acute phase. ConclusionLower levels of TC, LDLC, and IL-10 were associated with post-ICH depression during the acute phase. Furthermore, decreased levels of IL-10 may serve as a promising predictor for post-ICH depression.
