The significance of lymphocyte and cytokine expression in laryngeal tuberculosis

Abstract

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of the expression of lymphocytes and cytokines in patients with laryngeal tuberculosis. Methods 96 cases of laryngeal tuberculosis were selected as the research objects. Of which 42 cases of infiltrating type,31 cases of ulcer type, mass type in 23 cases, the other 50 cases of healthy persons were selected as the healthy control group, all the research objects, extracting the morning fasting venous peripheral blood for detection of T lymphocyte subsets and cytokines were detected, and the results were compared. Results Invasive laryngeal tuberculosis CD+3 index(63.10±5.33)%(t=1.922),CD+4(40.32±5.06)%(t=1.758),CD+8(24.41±4.59)%(t=1.710),compared with the control group, CD+4,CD+3 index significantly reduced,CD+8 index increased significantly,the differences had statistical significance(t=1.922,1.758,1.710,all P<0.05),and the ulcer type and mass type results compared with invasive had significant difference(all P<0.05).In the analysis of laryngeal tuberculosis pathological types,reduced the mass type CD+3,CD+4 T index and CD+8 index of lymphocyte increased obviously the most significant;all laryngeal tuberculosis in patients with IL-4,IL-10 and TNF-alpha significantly increased compared with the control group,while the IFN-gamma was significantly reduced, and the mass in the type of change was the most significant,the differences had statistical significance(all P<0.05). Conclusion The use of lymphocytes and cytokines detection can improve the laryngeal tuberculosis patients with the clinical diagnosis rate,with the detection results of different degree and different pathological types of laryngeal tuberculosis patients, can be used for preliminary assessment of laryngeal tuberculosis disease and pathological type,the choice of treatment modality for patients with guidance value, with in-depth clinical study and promotion application of value.
