ABSTRACT
Objective To study on immunity function in infectious mononucleosis (IM) children infected by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and its relationship with clinic and prognosis.Methods Serum immunoglobulin was detected by immunoradiometric nephelometry,expressions of C D3+,CD4+,CD8+,CD19+,CD23+ on T-lymphocytes subset in peripheral blood were measured by flow cytometry in 50 IM (IM group)who was in acute and convalescent period,and compared with 50 healthy controls (control group).Results The levels of IgA,IgG,IgM in IM group with acute period were (0.75 ± 0.65),(7.55 ± 2.05),(1.85 ± 0.55)g/L,in IM group with convalescent period were (0.95 ± 0.55),(8.85 ± 2.25),(1.75 ± 0.65) g/L.In control group,those were (1.25 ± 0.75),(10.65 ± 2.55),(1.80 ± 0.50) g/L.IgA and IgG in IM group with acute period were significantly lower than those in IM group with convalescent period and control group (P ＜0.01),but IgM was no significant difference among them (P ＞0.05).The levels of CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+,CD19+,CD23+ in IM group with acute period were 0.6050 ± 0.0850,0.2080 ± 0.0315,0.6520 ± 0.0520,0.45 ± 0.35,0.0580 ± 0.0205,0.0250 ± 0.0135,in IM group with convalescent period were 0.7220 ± 0.0820,0.3575 ± 0.0375,0.3565 ± 0.0565,1.45 ± 0.45,0.1580 ± 0.0280,0.0625 ± 0.0225.In control group,those were 0.7530 ± 0.0830、0.4850 ± 0.0450、0.3275 ± 0.0575 1.48 ± 0.55、0.1850 ± 0.0560、0.0805 ± 0.0175.CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+,CD19+,CD23+ in IM group with acute period were significantly lower than those in IM group with convalescent period and control group (P ＜ 0.05),but CD8+ was significantly higher than that in IM group with convalescent period and control group (P ＜0.05).Conclusion The abnormality of immunoglobulin and T-lymphocytes subset in children infected by EBV is obvious.
ABSTRACT
Objecfive To investigate the role of serum Insulin-like growth factor(IGF)-1,insulinlike growth factor-binding potein(IGFBP)-3 in children with Henoch-Schonlein purpura(HSP).Methods The serum concentration of IGF-1,1GFBP-3 was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)method in 45 acute SHP patients,40 recoverv patients and 30 healthy controls.Results The serum levels of IGF-1 [(452±183)μg/L],IGFBP-3 [(13 897±3124)μg/L] and C-reactive protein(CRP)[(20±8)mg/L]in acute phase were significantly higher than those in healthy controls(P0.05).The serum levels of IGF-1[(621±253)μg/L] and IGFBP-3[(18 763±3173)μg/L] were higher in the renal damage group than in the non-renal damage group(P0.05).whereas the serum level of CRP was not significantly different(P>0.05).The serum levels of IGF-1,IGFBP-3 showed positive correlation with the level of CRP(r=0.624,0.672,P<0.01).Conclusion The IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 may play an important role in the pathological mechanism of HSP.The level of IGF-1 may be used as an indicator for HSP disease activity and progression.IGF-1 mav have a close relation with the damageof renaJ system in HSP.
