The contents of NO, TNF-alpha and IL-8 in the cerebrospinal fluids (CSF) of patients with tuberculous and cryptococcic meningitis were detected. The results showed that the concentration of NO2-/NO3- and the levels of TNF-alpha and IL-8 in CSF of the two kinds of meningitis were higher than those of normal CSF, and the concentration of NO2-/NO3- correlated positively to the content of TNF-alpha. The results indicate that the over production of NO, TNF-alpha and IL-8 in CSF may involve in the tissue inflammation and damage of central nerve system infection.
检测了结核性脑膜炎和隐球菌性脑膜炎患者脑脊液(CSF)中一氧化氮(NO)、肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)和白细胞介素-8(IL-8)的含量。结果显示,两种脑膜炎患者脑脊液中NO2-/NO3-浓度以及TNF-α和IL-8水平均高于正常脑脊液,且NO2-/NO3-浓度与TNF-α含量呈正相关。结果表明,脑脊液中NO、TNF-α和IL-8的过度产生可能参与中枢神经系统感染的组织炎症和损伤。
