Table 2.

Plasma IL-37, IL-18, and IL-18BP expression decreased in 48 h after PCI procedure.

Group Patients (n = 56) Healthy (n = 56)
12 h 24 h 48 h
IL-37 (pg/mL) 82.8 ± 14.79* 82.2 ± 9.28* 84.4 ± 13.35* 120.6 ± 2.67
IL-18 (pg/mL) 46.9 ± 5.06* 44.2 ± 5.28* 43.1 ± 4.60* 91.0 ± 2.80
IL-18BP (pg/mL) 231.9 ± 22.06* 261.5 ± 24.18* 234.6 ± 19.53* 461.9 ± 62.06

Plasma IL-37, IL-18, and IL-18BP from healthy volunteers and patients at different time point were qualified by Elisa kit. Lower expression of both IL-37, IL-18, and IL-18BP was in patients compared to those in healthy volunteers ( P < 0.05). No difference of change in all plasma cytokines was expressed at different time point in the patients with ASTEMI after PCI.
