Abstract:
Objective:To study changes and clinical significance of serum interleukin-33(IL-33) of patients with adult measles complicated acute liver damage. Methods: Totally,88 adult measles patients were selected and divided into acute liver damage group (n=60) and no liver damage group(n=28). At the same time,20 healthy adults were selected as healthy controls. Serum IL-33 levels were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assays. Venous blood samples of IL-33 were drawn on the day of admission and were repeated at 7 and 14 days later. The correlation of IL-33 and biochemical indicators were analyzed. 60 patients with liver damage were divided into protecting liver and without protecting liver group in accordance with the method of random numbers. The level of serum IL-33 was compared at 7 and 14 days between the two groups of patients. Results: Patients with adult measles complicated acute liver damage and no liver damage had elevated serum IL-33 levels than that in the controls [( 205. 20 ± 25. 74 ) pg/ml, ( 168. 70 ± 18. 14)pg/ml,vs(132. 17±12. 41)pg/ml,P＜0. 05 for all],especially in acute liver damage group. The expression of serum IL-33 in no protecting liver group was significantly higher than protecting liver group at 7th day. IL-33 was no significant difference in patients between protecting liver and without protecting liver groups at 14th day(P＞0. 05). The level of IL-33 was a significant decrease in the treatment and there was no significant difference between healthy controls at 14th day(P＞0. 05). The level of IL-33 and liver damage were consistent. Serum IL-33 levels in patients with liver damage showed positive correlation with levels of ALT,GGT and IL-6 ( r=0. 392 1,0. 503 9,0. 724 9,P＜0. 001). Conclusion: IL-33 may have proinflammatory effects in the phase of adult measles complicated acute liver damage and its serum level reflects the severity of liver inflammation.
