Objective To investigate the correlation between the expressions of negative regulatory cell CD4⁺CD25⁺T and its related cytokines in peripheral blood and bacterial infection of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods Sixty-six COPD patients admitted between January 2018 and December 2019 were included as the research subjects, including 36 patients with acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) and 30 patients with stable COPD. Another 30 healthy people undergoing physical examination during the same period were included in control group. The expression levels of CD4⁺CD25⁺ regulatory T cell and its related cytokines [interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-10 (IL-10), interferon-γ (IFN-γ)] in the peripheral blood samples were detected among the included subjects. The relationship between levels of related indicators and presence or absence of bacterial infection in COPD and the efficacy of predicting infection were analyzed. Results The levels of CD4⁺, CD4⁺CD25⁺ and IFN-γ/IL-4 in patients with AECOPD and patients with stable COPD were lower than those in control group (P<0.05), while the levels of IL-4 and IL-10 were higher than those in control group (P<0.05). The IFN-γ level of AECOPD patients was higher than that of control group (P<0.05). The levels of CD4⁺ and CD4⁺CD25⁺of AECOPD patients were lower than those of stable COPD patients (P<0.05), while the levels of IL-4, IL-10 and IFN-γ were all higher than those of stable COPD patients (P<0.05). The levels of CD4⁺ and CD4⁺CD25⁺were negatively correlated with IL-4 and IFN-γ (P<0.05), and the CD4⁺level was negatively correlated with IL-10 (P<0.05). The CD4⁺ level in COPD patients with infection was lower than that in patients without infection (P<0.05), while the levels of IL-4 and IFN-γ were higher than those in patients without infection (P<0.05). The CD4⁺CD25⁺level of COPD patients with Gram-negative bacteria infection was lower than that of patients without infection (P<0.05), while the IL-10 level was higher than that of patients without infection (P<0.05). CD4⁺, IL-4, IL-10 and IFN-γ were effective indicators in predicting bacterial infection in COPD patients (P<0.05), and IL-4 and IFN-γ had higher efficacy. Conclusions CD4⁺, CD4⁺CD25⁺ T cell and related cytokines are involved in the occurrence and development of COPD and bacterial infection in patients. Monitoring changes of those levels is helpful to provide information for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

目的 探讨C反应蛋白(CRP)、降钙素原(PCT)、中性粒细胞计数(NC)及中性粒细胞/淋巴细胞比值(NLR)在肺癌患者化疗后合并细菌感染早期诊断中的意义。方法 收集本院肿瘤科2019年1月—2019年12月肺癌化疗后合并细菌感染患者78例,肺癌化疗后未感染患者64 例,同期健康体检人群39例,采用固相免疫色谱法和速率散射比浊法测定血清中的PCT及CRP 的含量,采用mindray cal8000血细胞分析仪进行血细胞分类计数检查,计算N及NLR。结果 化疗后感染组CRP、PCT、NC及NLR均高于化疗未感染组及健康对照组,差异均有统计学意义(P＜0.01);化疗未感染组与健康对照组CRP、PCT、NC及NLR差异有统计学意义(P＜0.01)。CRP、PCT、NC及NLR联合使用时,其灵敏度为97.507%,而特异度升高为97.15%。细菌感染患者治疗前的PCT、CRP、NC及NLR 与治疗后相比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.05),治疗后低于治疗前。结论 PCT、CRP、NC及NLR联合检测能够提高对肺癌患者化疗后合并细菌感染早期诊断的敏感度和特异度。

Objective To explore the significance of C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), neutrophil count (NC) and neutrophil / lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in the early diagnosis of bacterial infection in lung cancer patients after chemotherapy. Methods From January 2019 to December 2019, 78 cases of lung cancer patients with bacterial infection after chemotherapy, 64 cases of uninfected patients after chemotherapy and 39 cases of healthy people in the same period were collected. the contents of PCT and CRP in serum were detected by solid phase immunosorbent assay and rate nephelometry.The NC and NLR were classified and counted by mindray cal8000 hematology analyzer. Results After chemotherapy, CRP, PCT, NC and NLR in the infected group were higher than those in the uninfected group and the healthy control group (P<0.01), while CRP, PCT, NC and NLR in the uninfected group were higher than those in the healthy control group (P<0.01). When CRP, PCT, NC and NLR were used together, the sensitivity was 97.507%, while the specificity increased by 97.15%. The PCT, CRP, NC and NLR of patients with bacterial infection before treatment were lower than those after treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion PCT, CRP, NC and NLR may improve the sensitivity and specificity of early diagnosis of bacterial infection in patients with lung cancer after chemotherapy.
