ABSTRACT

Objective To study the changes of CD4 +/CD8 +T cells ratio and TGF -β,IL-4,IL-6 levels in lung cancer patients during the perioperative period and to analyze the clinical significance .Methods Flow cytometer and Elisa were used to analyze the CD 4 +/CD8 +T cells ratio and TGF-β,IL-4,IL-6 levels in peripheral blood sapmles from 20 patients with lung cancer during the perioperative period and 10 healthy con-trolsR. esults Before operation ,the ratios of CD4 +T and CD8 +T cells from 20 patients with lung cancer were (46.26 ±4.26)%and(43.15 ±5.18)%, respectively.On the fifth day after operation ,the ratios of CD4 +T and CD8 +T cells were(44.30 ±4.25)%and(39.80 ±2.53)%.TGF-β,IL-4 and IL-6 levels in 20lung cancer patients were(240.51 ±46.37)pg/mL,(19.85 ±2.52)pg/mL,and(129.28 ±33.06)pg/mL,respectively.On the fifth day after operation,TGF-β,IL-4 and IL-6 levels were(210.79 ±36.94)pg/mL,(17.37 ±2.57) pg/mL,and(107.28 ±27.83) pg/mL.The differences of above parameters between the preoperative period and the fifth day after operation were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusion The immune suppression oc-curs before its recovery during perioperative period ,the changes of CD4 +/CD8 +T cells ratio and TGF-β,IL-4 and IL-6 levels have significance on monitoring the progress and prognosis of patients with tumor .
