Proinflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1, are known to modulate effects of neurotoxic neurotransmitters discharged during excitation or inflammation in the central nervous system (CNS). They also regulate development of glial scars at sites of CNS injury. To elucidate a genetic predi

## 817 ated with increased risk for AD, at least in the Korean population. Nevertheless, it cannot be excluded that the association between IL-1A (-889) C/T polymorphism and AD observed in previous studies might be the result of linkage disequilibrium with a yet unidentified gene on chromosome 2.
Objective. To study the expression and production of interleukin-1-converting enzyme (ICE) in human normal and osteoarthritic (OA) cartilage and synovium, quantitate the level of ICE in OA chondrocytes, and examine the relationship between the topographic distribution of ICE, interleukin-1 (IL-1)
## Abstract Infection with microorganisms such as __Helicobacter pylori__ and __Chlamidia pneumoniae__ has been associated with coronary heart disease (CAD) and hypertension (HT). Infection increases the release of pro‐inflammatory cytokines, thus facilitating interactions that lead to vascular dam
