Research progress on relationship between dietary inflammatory index and mental disorder / 四川精神卫生

The purpose of this paper is to review the relationship between dietary inflammatory index and mental disorders， so as to provide references for nutritional interventions for patients with mental disorders. The high disability rate and intractability of mental illness bring huge economic burden and medical pressure to patients' families and society. Dietary nutrition is crucial to the rehabilitation of mental illness. As a new type of index to measure food pro-inflammatory index， dietary inflammatory index is closely related to the occurrence and development of mental illness. Therefore， this paper reviews the development， calculation and correlation with mental illness of dietary inflammatory index.

Association between dietary inflammatory index and metabolic syndrome with its components among children aged 6-14 years in Beijing City / 中国学校卫生

Objective@#To explore the association between dietary inflammatory index (DII) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components among children aged 6-14 years in Beijing, so as to provide a reference for preventing MetS.@*Methods@#A cross sectional study was carried out in 2 086 records of 1 832 children from the 2017 and 2019 Nutrition and Health Surveillance in Primary and Secondary school students of Beijing (NHSPSB). Three day consecutive 24 hour dietary recalls combined with weighing household cooking oils and condiments were used to collect dietary intake and calculate DII. MetS was diagnosed according to "Definition and Suggestion on the Metabolic Syndrome of Chinese Children and Adolescent". The Generalized estimating equations (GEEs) models were used to analyze the association between DII and the presence of MetS and its components (abdominal obesity, high triglyceride, low high density lipoprotein cholesterol, hypertension, and hyperglycemia).@*Results@#The mean DII score was (1.64±1.07) for the included children. No significant association was found between DII scores and the likelihood of MetS (per 1 point increment: OR =1.16, 95% CI =0.92-1.48, P >0.05). In terms of the components of MetS, DII scores were positively associated with the odds of high triglyceride (per 1 point increment: OR =1.17, 95% CI =1.01-1.36, P <0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the association among different age groups ( P >0.05). No significant associations were observed between DII and other MetS components( P >0.05).@*Conclusion@#DII scores may not be correlated with the risk of MetS, but proinflammatory diet might increase the risk of high triglyceride. DII score in childhood should be emphasized to identify and prevent MetS as soon as possible.

Study on the correlation between dietary inflammatory index and reflux esophagitis / 中华消化杂志

Objective:To evaluate the correlation between inflammatory diet and reflux esophagitis (RE) with the dietary inflammatory index (DII), and to provide scientific evidence for the prevention and treatment of RE at the level of dietary guidance.Methods:From December 2021 to September 2022, 145 RE patients (RE group) who visited the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University were recruited. During the same period, 145 subjects who underwent check-ups at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University were selected as the healthy control group, and age and gender were matched according to the ratio of 1 to 1. The baseline data of the 2 groups, including body mass index, the history of smoking and drinking, poor dietary habits, and physical activity intensity were collected. Dietary intake of the patients was assessed by a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire, and the overall DII was calculated to evaluate the potential anti-inflammatory or pro-inflammatory effects of diet. According to the tertiles of the DII of the healthy control group (33.3% and 66.7% as the cut-off), dietary inflammatory potential was divided into low (<-0.06), moderate (-0.06 to 1.11) and high pro-inflammatory potential diet (>1.11). Logistic regression model was performed to analyze the correlation between DII and RE risk. Linear trend test was used to compare the overall change trend of RE risk OR value along with the increase of DII. Independent sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Results:The body mass index of RE group was higher than that of healthy control group( (24.11±2.57) kg/m 2 vs. (23.38 ±2.60) kg/m 2), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-2.41, P=0.017). The proportions of smoking, drinking, over-eating, and eating within 3 h before bedtime of RE group was higher than those of the healthy control group (42.8%, 62/145 vs. 31.0%, 45/145; 31.0%, 45/145 vs. 16.6%, 24/145; 33.1%, 48/145 vs. 17.9%, 26/145; 52.4%, 76/145 vs. 13.1%, 19/145), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=4.28, 8.39, 8.78 and 50.86, P=0.039, 0.004, 0.003 and<0.001). While the proportions of night snacking and moderate to severe physical activity of RE group were lower than those of the healthy control group (14.5%, 21/145 vs. 24.1%, 35/145; 22.8%, 33/145 vs.37.2%, 54/145), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=4.34 and 7.24, P=0.037 and 0.007). The DII of RE group was higher than that of the healthy control group (1.05 (0.03, 1.62) vs. 0.34(-0.61, 1.35)), and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=8 661.50, P=0.010). Compared with the low pro-inflammatory potential diet, high pro-inflammatory potential diet had a 1.30-fold increased the risk of RE ( OR=2.30, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.29 to 4.09, P=0.005). After adjusting for total energy intake, age, gender, ethnicity, body mass index, education level, and physical activity intensity, the high pro-inflammatory potential diet was still positively correlated with the risk of RE ( OR=2.58, 95% CI 1.16 to 5.76, P=0.020). In the continuous DII, the risk of RE increased by 36% for each 1 increase in DII ( OR=1.36, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.68, P=0.003). After adjusting for major confounding factors, the continuous DII was still positively correlated with the risk of RE ( OR=1.41, 95% CI 1.08 to 1.85, P=0.012; OR=1.42, 95% CI 1.05 to 1.93, P=0.023). The results of trend test showed that the higher the DII, the greater the risk of RE ( P=0.039). Conclusions:Pro-inflammatory diet is correlated with the increased risk of RE, and there is a certain dose-response relationship. Reasonable reduction of the intake of pro-inflammatory food may be beneficial to reduce the risk of RE.

Correlation of Systemic Immune Inflammatory Index and Tumor Markers with Bone Metastasis of Lung Cancer / 肿瘤防治研究

Objective To evaluate the value of the systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII), CEA, Cyfra21-1, and NSE in predicting and diagnosing bone metastasis of lung cancer. Methods The clinical data of 618 patients with lung cancer were retrospectively analyzed. According to the bone metastasis at baseline, the data of the diagnosis group (patients with bone metastasis at baseline and patients without bone metastasis during follow-up) and the prediction group (patients with bone metastasis during follow-up and patients without bone metastasis during follow-up) were analyzed to determine the correlation between the above indicators and lung cancer bone metastasis. Results Predictive group: SII≥850 and NSE≥58.64 ng/ml were independent risk factors and independent predictors for lung cancer bone metastasis. The AUC of the combined SII+NSE model was 0.662, with a sensitivity of 54.5% and a specificity of 74.5%; it was superior to the predictive value of single factor (95%CI: 0.596-0.728; P < 0.001). Diagnostic group: lung adenocarcinoma, SII≥951.6, CEA≥5.14 ng/ml, NSE≥20.15 ng/ml, and Cyfra21-1≥3.94 ng/ml were independent risk factors for bone metastasis in lung cancer patients (P < 0.05). The AUC of SII alone in the diagnosis of lung cancer bone metastasis was 0.754. The AUC of the SII+Cyfra21-1 combined model was 0.82 which was the largest, with a sensitivity of 74% and a specificity of 78.5%; it was superior to any univariate AUC (P < 0.05). Conclusion The levels of SII, CEA, Cyfra21-1, and NSE in the bone metastasis group are significantly higher than those in the non-bone metastasis group. The predictive and diabnostic values would be improved further when SII combined with other single risk factors.

Modified Glasgow score in prediction of the prognosis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma patients after radical surgical resection / 中华普通外科杂志

Objective:To investigate the correlation between modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS) and prognosis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) patients after radical surgical resection.Methods:The clinical data of 126 patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma undergoing radical surgical resection at Ningbo Medical Centre Lihuili Hospital from Jan 2011 to Dec 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were scored according to the mGPS-related scoring standards, and the differences in tumor clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis were compared between patients with different score levels.Results:Firty-eight cases were included in group 0, 41 cases in group 1, and 27 cases in group 2. The 1- and 3-year survival rates in group 0 were 85.8% and 52.3%, the 1- and 3-year survival rates in group 1 were 73.2% and 23%, and the 1- and 3-year survival rates in group 2 were 73.3% and 0. The difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed that age, mGPS, CA19-9, tumor diameter, and tumor differentiation were related at the prognosis of ICC. Multivariate analysis showed that age, tumor differentiation, tumor diameter and mGPS were independent risk factors for the prognosis of ICC. Conclusion:mGPS is an independent risk factor affecting the prognosis of ICC patients.

Distribution of pathogenic bacteria and drug resistance analysis in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease / 中国实用内科杂志

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the distribution of pathogenic bacteria and drug resistance analysis in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD), so as to guide clinical medication. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted in Shanxi Dayi Hospital. Totally 1173 cases of AECOPD patients, hospitalized with infection from September 2013 to August 2018, were included. Then relevant laboratory data was collected, including sputum culture, drug sensitivity test, and some commonly used laboratory results. The data was analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 231 strains were isolated in 1173 AECOPD patients,the mian pathogenic bacteria were Gram-negative bacteria(115, 49.7%), fungi(66, 28.6%), Gram-positive bacteria(48, 20.8%),other bacteria(2, 0.9%). Drug-resistant strains of producing ESBLs mainly included Acinetobacter(88.9%), Escherichia coli(87.5%),Pseudomonas aeruginosa(70.6%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae(19.4%). The drug-resistance of Acinetobacter to carbapenems and quinolones was more than 70%. The drug-resistance of Escherichia coli to quinolones was 87.5%. The drug-resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae to penicillin and first and second generation cephalosporins was 66.7%. The drug-resistance of Staphylococcus to penicillin and first and second generation cephalosporins, quinolones and methicillin was 92.3%, 76.9% and 46.2%, respectively. In all Gram-positive bacteria, drug-resistant strains for Vancomycin and linezolid can't be found. The positive rate of bacteria in the group of PaO_2≤60 mmHg(37.3%) was higher than that in the group of PaO_2> 60 mmHg(8.8%). The detection rate of bacteria in the WBC≥10×10~9/L group(18.7%), NLR≥7.3 group(19.7%)and PCT>0.5 ng/mL group(50.7%),which in turn was higher than that in the WBC90% group was 10.6%, 16.9% and 30.1%, respectively. The results of trend chi-square test showed that the detection rate of bacteria increased with the decrease of PaO_2 and the increase of WBC, Neu%, NLR and PCT. CONCLUSION: The distribution and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria in sputum culture of AECOPD are serious, and the distribution of pathogens in AECOPD patients with different levels of PaO_2, WBC, Neu%, NLR and PCT was different. Therefore, we should pay more attention to sputum culture and some commonly used laboratory results in AECOPD patients, so as to provide the basis for the clinical medication.

OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the effect on the inflammatory indexes of septic gastrointestinal dysfunction treated with acupuncture at Jiaji (EX-B 2).@*METHODS@#A total of 118 patients of septic gastrointestinal dysfunction were randomized into an observation group and a control group, 59 cases in each one. In the control group, mosapride citrate was prescribed for oral administration, 5 mg each time, 3 times a day, bifidobacterium triple viable capsules, 420 mg each time, twice a day, intravenous drip with omeprazole, 40 mg, twice a day. Additionally, the antibiotics and the symptomatic treatment were selected rationally for maintaining the functions of the important organs, e.g. heart, lung, brain and kidney, and water-electrolyte balance. In the observation group, on the routine management as the control group, acupuncture at Jiaji (EX-B 2, T-T) was added, the needles were retained for 30 min in each treatment, once a day, 10 days as one course and 1 course was required. Separately, on the 1st, 3rd, 6th and 10th days of treatment, the white blood cell (WBC) count, the levels of hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) were observed, the enteral nutrition feeding dose and gastrointestinal dysfunction score before and after treatment as well as the clinical effect were assessed in the two groups.@*RESULTS@#The differences were not significant in the indexes mentioned above on 1st and 3rd days of treatment between the two groups (>0.05). On the 6th and 10th days of treatment, regarding the gastrointestinal dysfunction score and inflammatory indexes count, the results in the observation group were lower than the control group (all <0.05), and feeding dose in the observation group was higher than the control group (<0.05). After treatment, the gastrointestinal dysfunction scores and inflammatory indexes count were all reduced and feeding dose was increased as compared with those before treatment in the patients of the two groups (all <0.05). After treatment, the total effective rate was 91.5% (54/59) in the observation group, higher than 76.3% (45/59) in the control group (<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Acupuncture at Jiaji (EX-B 2) points achieves the satisfactory effect on septic gastrointestinal dysfunction and reduces the inflammatory indexes count.

Lack of association between dietary inflammatory index and low impact fractures in the Brazilian population: the Brazilian Osteoporosis Study (BRAZOS)

Abstract Introduction: Adequate nutrition, including intake of dietary calcium and vitamin D, is important to maintain bone health. Evidence suggests that a deficiency in micronutrients may contribute to bone loss during aging and exert generalized effects on chronic inflammation. Recently, the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) was developed to assess the inflammatory potential of individual diets. Our aim was to evaluate the DII in a representative sample and verify its association with low-impact fractures. Methods: Individuals from The Brazilian Osteoporosis Study (BRAZOS) database had their DII calculated. BRAZOS is an important cross-sectional epidemiological study carried out with a representative sample of men and women ≥40 years old. The research was conducted through in-home interviews administered by a trained team. Nutrition Database System for Research (NDSR) software was used to analyze data on the intake of nutrients, which were employed to calculate the DII using Statistical Analysis Software (SAS®) and Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS®) to assess its association with low-impact fractures. Results: A total of 2269 subjects had their DII score calculated using information from 24-h recall data. Males had lower DII than females (DII = 1.12 ± 1.04 vs DII = 1.24 ± 0.99, p = 0.012). Women taking statins had lower DII (DII = 0.65 ±1.14 vs DII + 1.26 ± 0.98, p = 0.002), indicating a greater potential for diet-related anti-inflammatory effects. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that women might have a pro-inflammatory diet pattern compared to men. However, we did not find any association between DII scores and low-impact fractures.

Índice de inmunidad-inflamación sistémica en sepsis / Systemic immune inflammatory index in sepsis

Resumen ANTECEDENTES: se han estudiado índices de pronóstico de inflamación basados en células periféricas como predictores de disfunción endotelial, riesgo cardiovascular y mortalidad. En 2014 se desarrolló el índice de inmunidad-inflamación sistémica (IIS) que se ha propuesto como factor de pronóstico y de seguimiento en cáncer. OBJETIVO: determinar si existe modificación del índice de inmunidad-inflamación sistémica (IIS) en pacientes con sepsis. MATERIAL Y MÉTODO: estudio retrospectivo que incluyó aleatoriamente a pacientes hospitalizados de 2013 a 2015. Se verificó la homogeneidad de poblaciones demostrando que no existía diferencia estadística entre la edad y comorbilidades (distribución Kolmogorov-Smirnov), frecuencia de comorbilidades (χ2). Se calculó el IIS con la citometría hemática de ingreso. Se compararon las medias del IIS de pacientes con sepsis y sin sepsis (Wilcoxon) y se determinó si había correlación entre el IIS y sepsis (coeficiente de correlación biserial puntual). RESULTADOS: se incluyeron 242 pacientes (128 con sepsis, edad promedio de 70.1 años y 114 sin sepsis, edad promedio de 69.7 años). La media del índice de inmunidad-inflamación sistémica (IIS) en pacientes con sepsis fue 4444.06x109, en pacientes sin sepsis fue de 3013.94x109. Se demostró que existe correlación estadísticamente significativa entre el IIS y sepsis (rbp= 0.150253625, p=0.05), se demostró que la media del IIS fue significativamente más elevada en pacientes con sepsis (W=5,097, p=0.00001). CONCLUSIONES: el índice de inmunidad-inflamación sistémica (IIS), un índice innovador que ha mostrado mejor efectividad para describir el desequilibrio de inmunidad e inflamación, se propone como una herramienta que puede ser útil en pacientes con sepsis; sin embargo, se requieren estudios futuros para comprobar su potencial pronóstico y de seguimiento.

Abstract BACKGROUND: In the past several indices based on peripheral blood cells have been studied to prove their utility as prognostic factors in endothelial dysfunction, cardiovascular risk and mortality. In 2014 the systemic immune inflammatory index (SII) was developed and it has been proposed as a prognostic factor in the follow-up of patients with cancer. OBJECTIVE: To determine if there is a modification of the SII in patients with sepsis. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A retrospective study included randomized patients hospitalized from 2013 to 2015; homogeneity of populations was verified by demonstrating that there was no statistical difference between age and comorbidities (Kolmogorov-Smirnov distribution), frequency of comorbidities (χ2). IIS was calculated with the blood cell count on hospital admission. IIS was compared in sepsis and without sepsis patients (Wilcoxon), and we determined whether there was correlation between IIS and sepsis (correlation coefficient biserial point). RESULTS: There were included 242 patients (128 with sepsis, mean age 70.1 years and 114 without sepsis, mean age 69.7 years). The mean IIS in patients with sepsis was 4444.06x109 and without sepsis 301 3.94x109. We showed that there was statistically significant cor relation between IIS and sepsis (rbp=0.150253625, p=0.05), we also detailed that the mean IIS was significantly higher in patients with sepsis (W=5,097, p=0.00001). CONCLUSIONS: The IIS, an innovative index that has shown accuracy describing the imbalance of immunity and inflammation, is proposed as a tool that can be useful in patients with sepsis; however, further studies are required to prove its potential in prognosis and monitoring.

Effect of Gongxuening on serum inflammatory index and bleeding for women placing the IUD after cesarean section / 中国生化药物杂志

Objective To observe the effect of Gongxuening for the women placing the IUDafter cesarean section, and to analyze the effect and value of Gongxuening on intrauterine device placement after cesarean section. Methods 156 women who received voluntary intrauterine device after cesarean sectionin theShengzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Shaoxing, Zhejiang were as the observation object. According to whether the application of Gongxuening, they were divided into two groupsafter treatment, the Gongxuening group of 75 cases (using Gongxuening + Nifloxacin) and the control group of 81 cases (using norfloxacin). The changes of serum inflammatory indexes were compared between the two groups before and after operation, and the uterine bleeding was compared between the two groups. Results After operation, the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) were with a significantfluctuation, and at the same time, Gongxuening group TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10, 24hours after surgery, postoperative 7d was significantly lower than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P< 0.05). After treatment, the WBC of Gongxuening group 24hours after surgery, postoperative 7d was significantly lower than the control group, but the Hb 24 hours after surgey was significantly higher than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The bleeding volume2h, 24h, bleeding stop time and puerperium duration in the Gongxuening group were significantlylower than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion After cesarean section maternal IUD use Gongxuening capsule treatment, not only can effectively inhibit the expression of serum inflammatory markers, and can shorten the time of uterine bleeding, reduce bleeding, prevent postoperative anemia. It is suggested to pay more attention to clinical treatment.

Index-Based Dietary Patterns and the Risk of Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause for cancer incidence in male. Although this high incidence is due to prostate specific antigen screening, other risk-factors, such as diet, might also be involved. The results of previous studies on the association between prostate cancer risk and individual dietary components have been conflicting. Thus, evaluation by dietary pattern analysis rather than individual dietary factors is suggested. The purpose of this study was to review the association of prostate cancer with a priori dietary indices, which are less studied and reviewed to date compared to a posteriori indices. Studies reviewed in this research were published from January 1997 to March 2017. Seventeen studies with nine indices were selected. In Mediterranean Diet Score (MDS), all four studies were non-significant. In Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII), 3 out of 4 studies significantly increased risk by 1.33–2.39 times, suggesting that a higher pro-inflammatory diet may be a possible prostate cancer risk factor. In Oxidative Balance Score (OBS), 2 out of 5 studies had decreased risk by 0.28 and 0.34 times, whereas 1 study had increased risk by 1.17 times. Among other indices, Healthy Eating Index (HEI) and prostate cancer dietary index were associated with decreased risk, while the results from 2 studies of Low Carbohydrate, High Protein Diet (LCHP) score were conflicting. In conclusion, we observed that it is insufficient to support the association between a priori indices and prostate cancer risk, except for MDS and DII, which had relatively constant results among studies. Therefore, further studies are required to identify consistent criteria for each a priori index, and should be conducted actively in various populations.

Relationship between dietary inflammatory index during the second trimester of pregnancy and preterm ;birth / 中华临床营养杂志

Objective To assess the diet quality of pregnant women during the second trimester using the dietary inflammatory index ( DII) and to explore the correlation between the DII in second trimester of preg-nancy and preterm delivery.Methods A total of 253 women with singleton pregnancy in 16-20 gestational weeks who had received routine prenatal care between August 2014 and April 2015 at the First Affiliated Hospi-tal of Anhui Medical University were enrolled with cluster random sampling.The included women were asked to recall daily dietary intake in the 3 days prior to the survey.All dietary data were analyzed for energy and nutri-ents intake with a nutritional analysis software, followed by calculation of DII according to previous reports. Based on quartiles of the DII scores, the participants were divided into three groups, namely the anti-inflam-matory group (DII-2.55).The participants were followed up until delivery and the pregnancy outcomes were recorded. The relationship between the DII in second trimester of pregnancy and preterm delivery were analyzed. Results DII scores of the 253 pregnant women during the second trimester of pregnancy ranged from -7.913 to 3.872.The risks of preterm birth in the anti-inflammatory diet group, the intermediate group, and the pro-inflammatory diet group were 0, 1.6%, and 6.3%, respectively, with statistically significant differences among the groups (P=0.034).The higher DII scores (pro-inflammatory) were associated with higher inci-dence of preterm birth ( P<0.05 ) .Conclusion DII may be used to assess diet quality of pregnant women during the second trimester and to predict the risk of preterm birth.

Clinical analysis of serum and pleural effusion inflammatory and specific indexes in children of mycoplasma pneumonia complicated with pleural effusion / 中国基层医药

Objective To investigate the changes of serum and pleural effusion inflammatory indexes in chil-dren with mycoplasma pneumoniae complicated with pleural effusion.Methods Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)double antibody sandwich method was used in the three of pleural effusion group,mycoplasma pneumonia group,control group and other groups to detect serum and pleural effusion human interleukin 6 (IL -6).human inter-leukin 2 (IL -2)and TNF -(human tumor necrosis factor alpha)etc.Inflammation index levels were detected and compared.Results The group of patients with mycoplasma pneumonia mycoplasma pneumonia patients was (9.93 ± 1.05)pg/mL for the IL -6 level,IL -2 levels for (4.93 ±0.55)μg/mL,(1.45 ±0.17)ng/mL for the TNF alpha level,which were significantly higher than those of the control group,the IL -2 was significantly lower than that of the control group,with statistically significant difference (t =6.25,5.88,4.63,5.95,3.69,5.95,all P <0.05).Compa-ring pleural effusion group and mycoplasma pneumonia group,we found serum IL -6,TNF alpha levels of pleural effu-sion group were significantly higher than that of mycoplasma pneumonia group,while IL -2 was lower than that in group mycoplasma pneumonia,with statistically significant difference (t =4.02,3.06,3.06 and 2.88,all P <0.05). The levels of serum IL -6,IL -2 and TNF -in the serum of patients with different effusion levels were significantly different from the other two groups (all P <0.05).Pleural effusion IL -6 and TNF level of pleural effusion group and mycoplasma pneumonia patients was significantly higher than those of the control group and IL -2 were significantly lower than that of the control group,the difference had statistical significance (t =5.69,3.69,602,4.11,2.94,3.67, all P <0.05).Pleural effusion pleural effusion IL -6 and TNF levels were significantly higher than those in the myco-plasma pneumonia group and IL -2 were significantly lower than that in mycoplasma pneumonia group,the difference had statistical significance (t =3.58,4.13,3.21,all P <0.05).The inflammatory indexes of patients with different effusion volume could be found in the pleural effusion,in patients with a large number of pleural effusion,the IL -2, IL -6 and TNF -levels compared with the other two groups showed significantly different (t =6.11、5.44、4.82,all P <0.05).Conclusion IL -6,IL -2 and TNF alpha in the occurrence and development of mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia play an important role.Suffering from mycoplasma pneumonia in patients with pleural effusion,whoseTNF-and IL -6 inflammatory index and serum indexes are abnormal,is of certain clinical practical value for clinical diagnosis,treatment and prognosis,as the indicator of the development and prognosis of pneumonia and pleural effusion.
