Objective:To investigate the effect of moderatehy pothermia on tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α)
interleukin-6(IL-6) and intedeukin-8(IL-8)in cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)of patients with severe traumatic brain injury(STBI)and its clinical significance.Methods:Forty patients with severe traumatic brain injury were randomly divided into hypothermic group and control group.Inclusion criteria included Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS)score ≤8 and time of after injury to on admission must be within 6 hours.TNF-α
IL-6
IL-8concentrations of CSF were tested before and after hypothermic therapy by radioimmunoassay.Results:Levels of serum TNF-α
IL-6 and IL-8 were decreased more significantly in the moderate hypothermia group than the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Moderate hypothermia can decrease cytokines levels in patients with severe brain injury and hence reduce incidence of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome
the mortality and improve the clinical prognosis of STBI.
