Journal of Clinical Hepatology 2014;30(7):631-635
Objective To investigate the relationship of serum Th1/Th2 cytokine levels with liver function and their clinical significance in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis (ALC).Methods Thirty-four ALC patients,13 patients with viral liver cirrhosis (VLC),and 17 healthy controls were included in the study.Serum levels of Th1 cytokines (tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α,interferon (IFN)γ,and inter-leukin (IL)-12)and Th2 cytokines (IL-10,IL-4,IL-6,and IL-13)were measured by cytometric bead array,and their correlations with Child-Pugh classification,model of end-stage liver disease (MELD)score,and biochemical parameters of liver function were ana-lyzed.Comparison between multiple groups was made by Kruskal-Wallis H test,and comparison between two groups was made by Mann-Whitney U test.Correlation analysis was performed by Spearman rank test.Results The Th1 (TNFαand IFNγ)/Th2 (IL-10,IL-4, and IL-13)cytokine levels in ALC group were significantly lower than those in healthy control group (P<0.05),and these indices de-creased nonsignificantly as the Child-Pugh class increased.Compared with VLC patients,ALC patients had significantly increased Th1/Th2 cytokine levels except IL-4 level (P<0.05).In ALC patients,TNFα,IL-10,and IL-13 levels were positively correlated with pro-thrombin time activity (P<0.05)but negatively correlated with total bilirubin and MELD score (P<0.05);especially,the levels of IL-10,IL-13,IL-4,TNFα,and IFNγwere negatively correlated with daily alcohol consumption (P<0.05).Conclusion The expression of Th1/Th2 cytokines is significantly reduced in ALC patients and is correlated with alcohol intake and liver function damage.Monitoring se-rum Th1/Th2 cytokine levels in ALC patients is helpful for clinical treatment and prognostic evaluation.

Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2009;15(2):164-166
Objective To comprehend the characters of sensory integration of children with brain injury and identify the effect of sensory integration training.Methods 127 children with brain injury were determined by the check form of sensory integration, Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI), Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-China Recension (WISC-CR) and comprehensive function assessment for disabled children. These children were divided into the trial group (n=92) and control group (n=35). All children of two groups received rehabilitation training, but children of the trial group also received sensory integration training. The Results of them were compared before and after rehabilitation.Results The scores of the check form of sensory integration of the children with cerebral palsy were significantly higher than that of children with mental retardation (P<0.01). After rehabilitation training, the raising scores of comprehensive function assessment for disabled children of the trial group were significantly higher than the control group (P<0.01).Conclusion The ability of sensory integration are abnormal in children with brain injury. The sensory integration training can accelerate the comprehensive function of children with brain injury effectively.
