Abstract
Objective To investigate the levels of Th1 and Th2 cell in the peripheral and the cytokines (IFN-γ,TNF-α,IL-12,IL-10,IL-4) in the culture medium at different time in the porcine model with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS) after continuous blood purification(CBP). Methods Twenty-four young porcines were given intravenous infusion of endotoxin to induce MODS, then were randomly divided into 2 groups:CBP group(n = 12) and MODS group without CBP(n = 12). Continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) was the main mode for CBP. At baseline, onset of MODS, and 2 h,4 h,6 h after treatment of CVVHDF,we picked the blood respectively to separate the T helper cell using the beads,detected the Th1 and Th2 cell by FACS and detected the cytokines (IFN-γ,TNF-α,IL-12,IL-10,IL-4) in the culture medium by ELISA. Results The MODS group showed a obvious rise in TNF-α,the drop tendency in IL-12,IFN-γ,IL-10,Th1/Th2 ratio, and no significant change in IL-4. After the treatment, the CBP group showed the drop in TNF-α and IL-4;and increase in IL-12,IFN-γ,IL-10 and Th1/Th2 ratio. Conclusion CBP helps to dear immune function,and restore the balance of Th1/Th2 in porcine MODS model. Key words: MODS; Th1/Th2; Continuous blood purification; Porcine model
