Objective To detect the serum levels of soluble T cell immunoglobulin mucin molecule 3 (sTim-3), IFN-γ and IL-4 in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods Peripheral blood was collected from 48 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and 20 healthy controls. The serum level of sTim-3 was detected by ELISA. The levels of IFN-γ and IL-4 were determined by cytokine bead array (CBA). The correlations between sTim-3, IFN-γ and IL-4 levels in sera of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis were analyzed by Pearson correlation test. Results Compared with the control group, the serum levels of sTim-3 and IL-4 increased significantly, while the level of IFN-γ decreased significantly. Pearson analysis showed that there was a negative correlation between sTim-3 and IFN-γ as well as between IFN-γ and IL-4 in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, while sTim-3 and IL-4 were positively correlated. Conclusion The serum levels of sTim-3 and IL-4 increase, but IFN-γ decreases in the patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.
目的 检测肺结核患者血清中可溶性T细胞免疫球蛋白黏蛋白分子3（sTim-3）、干扰素-γ（IFN-γ）及白细胞介素-4（IL-4）水平。方法 收集48例肺结核患者及20例健康对照者的外周血。采用酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA）法检测血清sTim-3水平。采用细胞因子微球阵列（CBA）法测定IFN-γ和IL-4水平。采用Pearson相关检验分析肺结核患者血清中sTim-3、IFN-γ和IL-4水平之间的相关性。结果 与对照组相比，肺结核患者血清sTim-3和IL-4水平显著升高，而IFN-γ水平显著降低。Pearson分析显示，肺结核患者sTim-3与IFN-γ之间以及IFN-γ与IL-4之间呈负相关，而sTim-3与IL-4呈正相关。结论 肺结核患者血清sTim-3和IL-4水平升高，但IFN-γ水平降低。
