Abstract:
Objective To study the roles of serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),sTNFR-Ⅰ and sT-NFR-Ⅱ in asthmatic children.Methods The levels of serum TNF-α,sTNFR-Ⅰ and sTNFR-Ⅱ in 60 asthmatic children,including 30 cases of acute exacerbation group and 30 cases of clinical paracmasia group,and 22 cases of healthy children (control group) were detected by ELISA.Results (1) The level of serum TNF-α in acute exacerbation group was (98.87 ± 16.25) ng/L,it is significantly higher than the clinical paracmasia group (62.19 ± 15.85) ng/L and control group (44.25 ± 10.44) ng/L (F =94.78,P ＜ 0.05).The level of serum sTNFR-Ⅰ and sTNFR-Ⅱ in acute exacerbation group were (11.14 ±2.04) μg/L and (11.81 ±2.14) μg/L respectively,they were significantly higher than their own clinical remission group (8.91 ± 1.63) μg/L and (9.36 ± 1.72) μg/L,also significantly higher than the control group (5.03 ± 1.18) μg/L and (5.21 ±1.23) μg/L,(F =83.03 and 87.62,all P ＜ 0.05).The levels of TNF-α,sTNFR-Ⅰ and sTNFR-Ⅱ in clinical paracmasia group were significantly higher than that in control group (P ＜ 0.05).(2) The levels of sTNFR-Ⅰ and sTNFR-Ⅱ in asthmatic children,both acute exacerbation and clinical paracmasia,were positively correlated (r=0.908,P ＜ 0.05 and r =0.737,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The level of TNF-α maybe indicate the inflammatory severity of asthma,and the changes of serum sTNFR-Ⅰ and sTNFR-Ⅱ were closely related with asthmatic airway inflammation.
