Abstract:
Objective To explore the relationship of neutrophil and interleukin-8(IL-8)with exercise-induced asthma(EIA).Methods From May 15,2001 to Dec 19.2005 the levels of peripheral neutrophil superoxide anion and IL-8 in the blood and the induced sputum from patients with EIA,non EIA and normal control subjects were measured respectively before and after exercises,meanwhile a comparison was made among them.Results Before exercise:the level of neutrophil superoxide anion was slightly higher in EIA group and non EIA group than that in control group;however,the differences were insignificant;the IL-8 and MDA levels in blood and induced sputum were higher in EIA group and non EIA group than those in control group,but there was no significant difference between EIA group and non EIA group;however,they were significantly different between EIA group and control group,non EIA group and control group respectively( P 0.05).Conclusion Oxyradical produced by neutrophil and IL-8 has significant effect on the production of EIA.
