Abstract: Objective To observe the effects of stellate ganglion block (SGB) on humoral immunity func-tion in patients who received modified radical mastectory (MRM). Methods Eigty female patients were randomly divided into control group(group Ⅰ ,n =40) and intervention group (group Ⅱ,n =40). Blood samples were taken pre-intervention (T1), after intervention ( T2 ) and 30 rain after operation ( T3 ) for the determination of lgG, IgA, IgM. Results Compared with T1, IgG, IgA, IgM at T2 and T3 in two groups were lowered, IgG [ ( 11.8±2.2 ) g/L vs (9.5 + 1.5) g/L,t = 5. 4630,P =0.0041 ] and IgA [(1.9±0.3)g/L vs (1.7±0.4) g/L,t =2. 5298,P = 0.0134 ] at T3 in group Ⅱ were significantly different as compared with that of group Ⅰ ; IgM at T2 [ (2.5±0.8 ) g/L vs (2.1±0.6)g/L,t =2.8276,P=0.0072] and T3[ (2.1±0.5)g/L vs (1.6±0.5)g/L,t =4.4721,P = 0.0000 ] was significantly different between the two groups. Conclusions Preoperative-SGB can improve the inhibi-tion degree of humoral immunity caused by modified radical mastectory.
