Methods: In this double-blind randomized controlled study, patients aged 65 to 80 who were undergoing spinal fusion surgery for disc herniation were administered flurbiprofen 100 mg (P group, flurbiprofen group), prednisolone 0.6 mg/kg (D group, prednisolone group), prednisolone 0.6 mg/kg plus flurbiprofen 100 mg (P + D group, flurbiprofen + prednisolone group) or normal saline (S group, saline group) 15 minutes before the induction of anesthesia. Plasma samples were collected before surgery (T0) and on day 1 (T1), day 2 (T2) and day 3 (T3) following surgery. At the same time, systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) was assessed by SIRS criteria. The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and C-reactive protein (CRP) for collected samples were measured. Results: Other groups had significantly lower levels of IL-6, CRP and occurrence of SIRS than S group (p < 0.05). Compared to groups P and D, the levels of IL-6 and CRP in P + D group were significantly lower on T1 (p < 0.05). Peak levels of IL-6 in all groups were presented on T1 (p 0.05). The levels of CRP within three days were significantly different but did not show peak levels (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Compared to prednisolone or flurbiprofen, combining flurbiprofen with prednisolone in elderly surgery patients led to an increased suppression of IL-6.展开更多

文摘胎儿生长受限(fetal growth restriction,FGR)是一种常见的产科疾病,其可导致新生儿低出生体质量和出生后肌肉量减少。这可能与肿瘤坏死因子-α(tumor necrosis factor-α,TNF-α)和白细胞介素-6(interleukin-6,IL-6)的调控密切相关。研究发现,这两种炎症因子在FGR胎儿中表达水平异常,可通过影响成肌细胞的增殖和分化,干扰正常骨骼肌的发育。此外,TNF-α与IL-6还可以激活特定的信号通路,如核因子κB(nuclear factor-κB,NF-κB)、Janus激酶/信号转导及转录活化因子(Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription,JAK/STAT)、丝裂原激活的蛋白激酶(mitogen-activated protein kinase,MAPK)等信号通路,调节肌细胞的代谢和功能。如使用特定的抗炎药物或生物制剂来降低TNF-α和IL-6的活性,可能有助于改善FGR胎儿的骨骼肌发育。总的来说,TNF-α和IL-6在FGR胎儿骨骼肌发育中的作用是一个多层面、复杂的过程,需要进一步的深入研究来阐明其具体机制,帮助理解FGR的病理生理学,并为治疗FGR胎儿提供新的思路。
