恶性血液病患者血清可溶性白细胞介素6受体水平的研究

目的：探讨恶性血液病患者血清可溶性白细胞介素６受体（ｓＩＬ－６Ｒ）的临床价值。方法：采用酶联免疫法测定２６例多发性骨髓瘤（ＭＭ）、３４例急性白血病（ＡＬ）、１７例非霍奇金淋巴瘤（ＮＨＬ）患者化疗前后及正常献血员的血清ｓＩＬ－６Ｒ水平。结果：初诊时血清ｓＩＬ－６Ｒ水平，ＭＭ患者较正常对照组显著增高（Ｐ〈０．００１），Ｂ细胞系急性淋巴细胞白血病（Ｂ－ＡＬＬ）患者亦高于正常对照（Ｐ〈０．０１），急性淋巴

Study on serum soluble interleukin-6 receptor levels in patients with malignant hematological diseases]

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical implication of soluble interleukin-6 receptor(sIL-6R) in patients with malignant hematological diseases. METHODS: Serum levels of sIL-6R in 26 multiple myeloma (MM), 34 acute leukemia (AL) and 17 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) patients before and after chemotherapy and 20 normal controls were measured by immunoenzymetic assay. RESULTS: Serum levels of sIL-6R in MM and B-ALL patients at diagnosis were significantly higher than that in normal controls (P < 0.001, and P < 0.01, respectively), while the levels in ANLL, T-ALL and NHL patients were normal. Serum beta2 microglobulin and creatinine levels in MM patients with elevated serum sIL-6R were higher than that in patients with normal sIL-6R levels(P < 0.001, and P < 0.05, respectively). Serum sIL-6R levels did not relate to clinical stages. Serum lactic-dehydrogenase (LDH) levels in B-ALL patients with elevated sIL-6R were higher than that in patients with normal sIL-6R levels (P < 0.05). Serial measurement of serum sIL-6R in MM patients showed a good correlation with serum M-protein and plasma cell percentage in bone marrow. CONCLUSION: Serum sIL-6R levels were significantly increased in MM and B-ALL patients, and it is a predictive factor for responsiveness to chemotherapy and an indicator of disease activity.
