Effect of ulinastatin on expression of inflammatory cytokines during perioperative period of surgical correction of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis / 第二军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effect of ulinastatin(UTI) on the changes of IL-6,TNF-?,IL-10 and IL-4 expression during perioperative period of surgical correction of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis(AIS).Methods: Twenty patients with AISⅠ-Ⅱ scheduled to receive surgical correction of spinal deformities were equally randomized into 2 groups-UTI group and control group.Patients in UTI group received intravenous infusion of 10 000 U/kg UTI with 250 ml normal saline just before operation and every 4 h thereafter if necessary;patients in control group received same amount of normal saline.ECG,CVP,SpO_(2)and P_(ET)CO_(2) were continously monitored during operation in both group.Mean arteral pressure(MAP) was maintained at(60?5) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa).Venous blood samples were collected immediately before induction of anaesthesia(T_(1)),10 min after induction(T_(2)),1 h after UTI administration(T_(3)),30 min after extubation(T_(4)) and 24 h postoperatively(T_(5)).The plasma levels of IL-6,TNF-?,IL-10 and IL-4 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),and their mRNA expression was assayed by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction.Results: At T_(3),T_(4) and T_(5),plasma levels of IL-6 and TNF-? and their mRNA copies in control group were significantly higher than that at T_1(P
