The determination of plasma IFN-γand IL-4 and fecal bifidobacteria in children with allergic asthma and analysis / 国际检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the pathogenesis and clinical value of Th1/Th2 and normal intestinal flora from the angle of immunological and intestinal micro environment balance by detecting the plasma interferon-γ(IFN-γ)and interleukin-4(IL-4)and fecal bifidobacteria in Children with Allergic Asthma,so as to provide a theoretical basis through early intervention of probiotics to correct the Th1/Th2 balance.Methods The levels of blood plasma IFN-γ,IL-4 and fecal bifidobacteria amount of 165 cases of chil-dren with allergic asthma and 150 health students as control group were detected by ELISA and real time fluorescence PCR at the same time.Retesting these above indexes after applying bifidobacteria regulation of intestinal flora for 6 months.The clinical relative factors and experimental data were statistically analyzed.Results The level of IFN-γof asthmatic children were remarkably lower than those in the control group(P <0.05),while the level of IL-4 of asthmatic children were remarkably higher than those in the control group(P <0.05),and the amount of bifidobacteria of asthmatic children were remarkably lower than those in the control group(P <0.05).The level of IFN-γand bifidobacteria of asthmatic children improved remarkably and the level of IL-4 decreased significantly after applying bifidobacteria regulation of intestinal flora for 6 months.All of them had remarkable statistically signifi-cant.Conclusion The immune balance was affected by the intestinal flora balance of vice versa.This would provide an important theo-retical support to prevent the occurrence of allergic asthma by the early probiotics regulation of intestinal flora and immune balance.
