丹参对重症急性胰腺炎患者血清炎性细胞因子的影响

目的:研究丹参对重症急性胰腺炎(severeacutepancreatitis,SAP)患者血清白细胞介素-6(interleukin6,IL-6)、白细胞介素-8(interleukin8,IL-8)及肿瘤坏死因子-α(tumornecrosisfactor-α,TNF-α)等细胞因子的影响。方法:36例SAP患者随机分成丹参治疗组及非丹参治疗组,每组18例;选择年龄匹配的14名健康志愿者为对照组。在患者入院24h内以及治疗7d后采静脉血并检测血清中IL-6、IL-8和TNF-α水平。结果:SAP患者3种炎症因子较健康志愿者均显著升高(P<0.05),丹参治疗组与非丹参治疗组入院时3种细胞因子无明显差异(P>0.05),治疗7d后两组SAP患者3种细胞因子均降低(P<0.05),但丹参治疗组下降更明显(P<0.05)。结论:丹参可降低SAP患者的炎症性细胞因子。

Effects of Salvia miltiorrhiza on serum levels of inflammatory cytokines in patients with severe acute pancreatitis

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of Salvia miltiorrhiza on serum levels of cytokines including interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). METHODS: Thirty-six SAP patients were randomly divided into Salvia miltiorrhiza-treated group and non-Salvia miltiorrhiza-treated group with eighteen patients in each group. Fourteen age-matched healthy volunteers were assigned to control group. Serum levels of IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-alpha were tested within 24 hours of admission and 7 days after admission. RESULTS: Compared with those of the healthy volunteers, serum levels of the three cytokines of the SAP patients were significantly elevated (P<0.05). Serum levels of the three cytokines were significantly decreased in both Salvia miltiorrhiza-treated group and non-Salvia miltiorrhiza-treated group after 7-day treatment (P<0.05). The declining of the serum levels of the three cytokines in Salvia miltiorrhiza-treated group was more obvious than that in non-Salvia miltiorrhiza-treated group. CONCLUSION: Salvia miltiorrhiza can treat SAP patients by reducing the serum levels of IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-alpha.
