Acute lung injury induced by endotoxic shock and imbalance of Th1/Th2 type of cytokines
Objective:To investigate the type of imbalance of cytokines and its relations to the ALI induced by endotoxic shock.Methods:ALI rats model was made by injcting lipopolysacharide(LPS) into jugular vein.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was employed to measure interferon-γ(IFN-γ) level
interleukin-4(IL-4) level and the ratio of IFN-γ/IL-4.Pathological examination was made under optical microscope at the same time.Results:Compared with normal control group
the IFN-γ level
the ratio of IFN-γ/IL-4 increased significantly(P<0.05;P<0.001)whereas IL-4 level didnt′t change obviously(P>0.05).Pathological examination of lung tissue proved the presence of ALI in rats.Conclusion:The imbalance of Th1/Th2 type cytokines exists in the endotoxic shock-induced ALI.
