abstract

background: to investigate the expression of tnf-α, il-6, il-10 in the plasma of patients with lung cancer who received radiation therapy (rt), and to analyze the correlation between these cytokines and radiation pneumonitis (rp). materials and methods: patients with lung cancer who received 3d-crt in our hospital were prospectively evaluated. circulating cytokine levels were measured with elisa before rt and at the end of rt. regular follow-up was undertaken 3 months after rt. statistical analysis was applied to determine the relevance of cytokines to radiation-induced lung injury. results: of 104 patients, 29 (27.9%) developed rp. the levels of tnf-α and il-6 levels in the plasma after rt were significantly higher than before rt (p<0.05), whereas il -10 levels were significantly lower after rt than before rt (p<0.05). before rt, tnf-α levels were higher in rp group (p<0.05),but there were no differences in tnf-α levels after rt. no association was observed between il-6 and il-10 levels and the risk of rp. univariate analysis showed that baseline pulmonary function, smoking history, histopathology, lung volume receiving ≥20 gy (v20), mean lung dose (mld) and total radiation dose were related to rp, but only mld was an independent risk factor for rp in lung cancer patients (or>1). conclusion: tnf-α levels in plasma were closely related to rp but still cannot be used as predictors for rp.

TNF-α, TNF-β, IL-6, and IL-10 Polymorphisms in Patients with Lung Cancer

Apart from cigarette smoking, genetic factors seem to be of importance in the development of lung cancer. The present case-control study investigated frequencies of five inflammatory response gene polymorphisms (TNF-alpha-308, TNF-beta-Intron1-252, IL-6-174, IL-10-819 and IL-10-1082) in patients with lung cancer and controls. The study population consisted of 117 patients with lung cancer (77 p...

IL-6, TNF-α, IL-10, and nutritional status in pediatric patients with biliary atresia.

OBJECTIVES The objective of the present study is to evaluate whether IL-6, TNF-α, IL-10 are associated with nutritional status in patients with cirrhosis secondary to biliary atresia and compare to healthy controls. METHODS The parameters used for nutritional assessment were the standard deviation scores of height-for-age and of triceps skinfold thickness-for-age. The severity of cirrhosis wa...

MODULATION OF INTERLEUKIN-1Β (IL-1Β ), TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR–Α (TNF-Α) AND INTERLEUKIN-10 (IL-10 ) GENES EXPRESSION FOLLOWING CONCURRENT TRAINING IN WOMEN WITH TYPE2 DIABETES

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of concurrent training on pre-inflammatory (IL-1β, TNF-α) and anti-inflammatory (IL-10) cytokines gene expression in women with type2 diabetes. Methods: 18-patients (age30-38, >130 glycemic index) were selected, randomly, and divided into control (n=6) the concurrent training(diabetes, n=6) and the concurrent training (healthy...

IL-6/IL-10 Ratio as A Prognostic and Predictive Marker of the Severity of Inherited Epidermolysis Bullosa

Background: Recent studies have shown that cytokines have an important role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases and can be used as prognostic markers. Objective: To evaluate the IL-6/IL-10 ratio in patients with Inherited Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) as a prognostic marker. Methods: Serum levels of IL-6 and IL-10 were measured in 13 patients with recessive dystrophic EB (RDEB) as well as...
