Abstract

Objective: To analyze various immune cytokines (NKG2D, IL-12, IL-15, IL-18, DC cells, TNF-a, IFN-r) and peripheral blood of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) at different times after chemotherapy. Changes in CD4+, CD8+, Th17 and IgG, IgM, and IgA levels. Methods: A total of 118 NSCLC patients who attended the Oncology Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical College from September 2018 to September 2021 were selected as the research objects, and the patients were analyzed at different time points (before chemotherapy, after the first chemotherapy, and after the second chemotherapy). The effects of NKG2D, IL-12, IL-15, IL-18, DC cells, TNF-A, IFN-r, CD4+, CD8+ Th17, IgG, IgM and IgA levels in peripheral blood at different time points (before chemotherapy, after the first chemotherapy and after the second chemotherapy) were analyzed. The changes of NKG2D, IL-12, IL-15, IL-18, DC cells, TNF-A, IFN-r and the levels of CD4+, CD8+ Th17, IgG, IgM and IgA in peripheral blood were compared at each time point. Results: NKG2D, IL-12, IL-15, IL-18, TNF-a, IFN-r gradually decreased before chemotherapy, one week after chemotherapy, and two weeks after chemotherapy, the difference was statistically significant, but DC cells were not significant Variety. CD4+ and CD8+ both increased significantly, and the levels of Th17, IgG, IgM, and IgA gradually decreased. Conclusion: In the course of chemotherapy, all immune factors except DC cells were significantly decreased compared with those before chemotherapy, and the decrease of immune factors except DC cells was positively correlated with the length of chemotherapy cycle. If additional immunotherapy is needed, it should be carried out in the early stage of chemotherapy.

Highlights

  • In recent years, the incidence of malignant tumors has gradually increased, which may be directly related to the development of medical testing and the improvement of people’s living standards [1]

Summary

Introduction

The incidence of malignant tumors has gradually increased, which may be directly related to the development of medical testing and the improvement of people’s living standards [1]. The disease spectrum of malignant tumors is changing, and the incidence of lung cancer is increasing year by year compared with other malignant tumors. The occurrence, development and treatment of tumors are currently more popular researches. A large number of literature reports [2] [3] [4], in the process of tumor progression, most malignant tumors will cause the body’s own immune mechanism to be affected. Existence is the main direction of current anti-tumor therapy, so the research on immune mechanism is important
