目的 通过对白芍总苷治疗前后寻常型银屑病患者血清中白介素（IL）-22水平的研究，探讨其治疗寻常型银屑病的作用机制。 方法 2009年10月－2010年8月采用双抗体夹心酶联免疫吸附法，检测30例寻常型银屑病患者，经白芍总苷治疗前后及健康对照组20例外周血清中IL-22浓度的变化，分析其在治疗前、后与银屑病皮损面积和严重程度指数（PASI）评分的相关性。 结果 寻常型银屑病患者血清IL-22浓度[（90.50 ± 51.80）pg/mL]较对照组[（40.10 ± 17.20）pg/mL]升高，白芍总苷治疗后血清中IL-22水平[（48.70 ± 23.90）pg/mL]较治疗前降低（P＜0.05），并与对照组差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05）；治疗前、后患者血清IL-22水平与PASI评分呈正相关。结论 白芍总苷可能通过调节IL-22发挥治疗寻常型银屑病的作用。
ObjectiveTo learn the serum immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) level in patients with pemphigus vulgaris (PV) in the active phase by detecting the IgG4 concentration in the patients with PV. MethodsWe collected the serum samples from patients with active-phase PV (including acute-onset and chronic active phases) between April and December 2014. The serum IgG4 level was detected by immuno-scatter turbidmetry, and the difference of serum IgG4 level between PV patients and normal subjects was assessed by Student's t-test. ResultsThirty-two patients with pemphigus vulgaris in the active phase were enrolled for this study, among whom 22 (including 8 males and 14 females) had normal serum IgG4 level, 8 (including 3 males and 5 females) higher and 2 (including 1 male and 1 female) lower. Compared with normal subjects, the average level of serum IgG4 in PV patients was not significantly different (P>0.05). The serum IgG4 level of acute-onset and chronic active PV patients was (1.015±0.825) g/L and (1.058±1.133) g/L, respectively, with no significant difference (P>0.05). ConclusionThe serum IgG4 level of patients with pemphigus vulgaris in the active phase can be normal, higher or lower. And there is no obvious difference in the serum IgG4 level between acute-onset and chronic active PV patients.
