ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the influence of smoking upon the level of the serum interleukin and TNF-? in patients with bronchial asthma.Methods Sixty-five patients with bronchial asthma,grade 3 or 4 as asthma group and 50 healthy examinees as control group were selected.According to the smoking history,each group was divided into the smoking subgroup and the non-smoking subgroup.For each group,the level of cytokines in serum were detected,and at the same time,their smoking history and general condition were collected.The differences between the groups were compared and the relationship of all indexes was analyzed.Results Compared with the control group,the level of IL-2、IL-6、IL-8 and TNF-? of the asthma group was significantly higher(P0.05).The level of IL-2、IL-8 and TNF-? of the smoking asthma subgroup was significantly higher than the smoking control subgroup(P0.05).Conclusion The influence of smoking upon the level of cytokines of asthma patients is significant.The level of IL-8、TNF-? in serum of a smoking asthma patient increases.The level of five cytokines in serum of 65 asthma patients in our research is related to patient's condition severity.
