Objective To detect the levels of cytokines in first-episode depressant patients and the influence on the levels of cytokines after the treatment with sertraline and venlafaxin. Methods The levels of IL-2,IL-6,TNF-α and IL-10 were measured in 80 first-episode depressant patients and 40 healthy control subjects. 80first-episode depressant patients were divided into two groups which were treated by sertraline and venlafaxin respectively. The levels of the same items were measured after 6-week treatment with sertraline and venlafaxin. All data were statistically analyzed by SPSS. Results The levels of IL-2,IL-6,TNF-α in 80 first-episode depressant patients were significantly higher than that in control group( IL-2:(6.79 ± 2.89 )pg/ml vs (4.06 ± 2.05 )pg/ml;IL-6:(10.12 ±4.52)pg/ml vs (6.04 ± 1.79) pg/ml;TNF-α: ( 14.81 ±4.38) pg/ml vs ( 10.69±2.54) pg/ml)(P<0.05). The level of IL-6 after treatment by sertraline and venlafaxin was lower than that before treatment.There were no significant difference of the levels of IL-2,TNF-α, IL-10 before and after treatment. No significant difference of the levels of cytokines were observed between the two groups which were treated by sertraline and venlafaxin. Conclusions There are some changes of the levels of cytokines in first-episode depressant patients, which might be corrected by the treatment with sertraline and venlafaxin. Sertraline and venlafaxin might have the same mechanisms to cytokines.

This study was aimed to evaluate the clinical effect of 66 yin-deficiency acne cases treated with body constitution adjustment using acupuncture and moxibustion. In this research, 66 acne patients with the body con-stitution of yin-deficiency were selected . These patients were randomly divided into two groups ( 33 every group ) . The acupuncture treatment group was treated by acupuncture and local treatment. And moxibustion treatment group was treated by indirect moxibustion and local treatment. The treatment was given twice a week. And the improvement condition of acne skin lesions and yin-deficiency body constitution were evaluated after 12-week treatment. The results showed that certain curative effects were received in both groups. However, the moxibustion treatment group had higher curative effect compared with the acupuncture treatment group. There were significant statistical differences between two groups ( P < 0 . 05 ) , which meant moxibustion with local treatment had a higher curative effect than acupuncture with local treatment to acne. In the aspect of skin lesion improvement, according to the statistics, the moxibustion treatment group were statistically significant compared with acupuncture group (P< 0.05), which meant more obvious improvement of skin in the moxibustion treatment group. In the aspect of body constitution, the body constitution scores in both groups were significantly declined and the moxibustion treatment group was more obvious. There was statistical significance between two groups (P < 0.05), which meant patients in the moxibustion treatment group obtained a more obvious body constitution improvement. After the treatment, follow-up was given to all patients for 4 weeks. The results showed that both the acne skin lesion con-dition and yin-deficiency body constitution score were decreased and not achieve the recurrence diagnostic stan-dard. It showed that acupuncture and moxibustion are able to activate the self-regulation and disease resistibility of the body. It was concluded that acupuncture and moxibustion not only improve skin lesion of acne patients with the body constitution of yin-deficiency with inner heat , but also regulate yin-deficiency body constitution . Moxibustion had higher efficacy in the treatment of yin-deficiency with inner heat acne than acupuncture.
