Influence of Operative Stress on Serum Levels of Adrenocorticotrophic Hormone,Cortisol,Atrial Natriuetic Peptide,and Interleukin-6 in Children with Abdominal Neoplasms after Operation / 实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the regularity and clinical significance of cortisol(Cor),adrenocorticotrophic hormone(ACTH),atrial natriuetic peptide(ANP) and interleukin-6(IL-6) changes before and after operation stress.Methods The ACTH,Cor,ANP and IL-6 levels in 18 children with abdominal neoplasms(12 male and 6 female,8 cases with sacrococcygeal teratoma,5 cases with hepatoblastoma,and 5 cases with nephroblastoma) were measured before and after operation(24 hours before operation;4,24,48,and 72 hours after operation).Eighteen children were divided into the study group and the control group.The children in the former group were accompanied with stress ulcer,intestinal obstruction and infection shock or even death after operations,while the children in the later group recovered without any complication.The ACTH,Cor,ANP in serum were measured by radioactive immune analysis(RIA) assay,and serum IL-6 level were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results In 2 groups,serum levels of ACTH,Cor,ANP,IL-6 increased significantly 4 h after operation.The changes in ACTH and ANP were similar in 2 groups.Cor in the control group reached its peak 24 h after operation,and then decreased gradually to the pre-operation levels 72 h after operation;IL-6 reached its peak 4 h after operation,and then decreased slowly.It was still at a high level in 48 h after operation,and then decreased to pre-operation levels 72 h after operation.But serum Cor,IL-6 in the study group slightly increased 24 h after operation,and were apparently higher than those in the control group(Pa
