Abstract

Abstract : We aimed to explore the expression of IL-11 in ischemic stroke patients and its correlation with rehabilitation training and prognosis. The present randomized control study recruited ischemic stroke patients who were admitted during March 2014 to November 2020. All patients underwent computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination. All patients were randomly divided into two groups, including rehabilitation training (RT) group and control group. The patients in the RT group were received rehabilitation training within 2 days after the vital signs were stable while control group received routine nursing. The serum interleukin- (IL-) 11 levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) when patients were just hospitalized and 6 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, and 90 h after treatment. Demographic, clinical statistics, imaging data, and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scores (NIHSS) were recorded. The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores were measured after 90 days treatment to assess the prognosis of ischemic patients. The serum IL-11 levels of the RT group elevated more quickly during the study time compared with the control group. In addition, the NIHSS and mRS scores of ischemic stroke patients in the RT group were significantly lower than that in the control group. The NIHSS score, the proportion receiving rehabilitation training, and the levels of IL-11, triglyceride (TG), and high-density leptin cholesterol (HDLC) of ischemic stroke patients in the mRS score ≥ 3 group were remarkably elevated than that in the mRS score ≤ 2 group. However, the serum IL-11 levels of ischemic stroke patients were obviously decreased in the mRS score ≥ 3 group. IL-11 could be a potential diagnostic biomarker of poor prognosis of ischemic stroke patients. Furthermore, IL-11, NIHSS score, and rehabilitation training were the risk factors for poor prognosis of ischemic stroke patients. This study demonstrated that the ischemic stroke patients in the RT group had higher serum IL-11 levels and better prognosis. This study might provide a new approach to improve the prognosis of patients with ischemic stroke. This trial is registered with ChiCTR-PNR-16007706 .
