Acute phase reactants, serum immunoglobulins and immune complexes and T cell function were measured in eight patients with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS) before and up to 3 months after three pulses of 1 g methylprednisolone. There was a two stage effect. The first stage was an early anti-inflammatory event with a fall in clinical disease activity mirrored by changes in acute phase reactants particularly prealbumin. The second stage occurred later and was an immunological event with a fall in serum IgA and IgG and a rise in mitogenic response, mixed lymphocyte response and delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity. Most of these changes returned towards pre-treatment levels by 3 months. This study has shown that pulse methylprednisolone has an immediate anti-inflammatory and a prolonged immunological effect in AS.
对8例活动期强直性脊柱炎(AS)患者在给予3次1g甲泼尼龙冲击治疗前及治疗后长达3个月的时间内,检测了急性期反应物、血清免疫球蛋白、免疫复合物及T细胞功能。结果显示有两阶段效应。第一阶段为早期抗炎事件,临床疾病活动度下降,急性期反应物尤其是前白蛋白的变化反映了这一点。第二阶段出现较晚,是一个免疫事件,血清IgA和IgG下降,有丝分裂原反应、混合淋巴细胞反应及迟发性皮肤超敏反应增强。到3个月时,这些变化大多恢复到治疗前水平。本研究表明,冲击甲泼尼龙在强直性脊柱炎中具有即刻抗炎及持久的免疫效应。
