In addition, previous studies have demonstrated that UTI suppresses the elevation of IL-6 and IL-8 levels in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting under extracorporeal circulation (18), alleviates forebrain I/R injury by inhibiting the production of superoxide radicals and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (19) and improves oleic acid-induced acute lung injury by reducing TNF-α levels and inducing leukocyte activation (20). The gene discussed is ICAM1; the disease is bacterial urinary tract infection.
