口服免疫营养对膀胱癌患者细胞因子谱影响的初步随机对照研究
重大手术后应激往往引起患者炎症反应及免疫功能失调,如辅助型T细胞Th1-Th2的失调,容易造成术后感染等并发症。在行根治性膀胱切除手术的患者中,给予术前专用免疫营养(SIM)可能改善这一状况。
美国堪萨斯大学医学中心将择期行根治性膀胱切除术的29例男性患者随机分成两组,在术前和术后各行5天营养支持:SIM组14人,口服营养补充(ONS)组(对照组)15人,分别口服等氮等热量营养。
结果发现,术后两天SIM组血浆白介素(IL)-6水平较ONS组明显降低(P=0.02),表明SIM可改善术后炎症反应。此外,相比ONS组,术后应激所致辅助型T细胞失衡在一定程度上被SIM逆转。

PURPOSE: Major surgeries disrupt T helper (Th)1-Th2 balance to a Th2 predominant response, which impairs cell-mediated immunity, leaving patients more susceptible to infection. We evaluated T-cell differentiation and the inflammatory response to radical cystectomy (RC) with perioperative specialized immunonutrition (SIM) compared with a control.
METHODS: Twenty-nine men with bladder cancer scheduled for RC were randomized to oral SIM (n = 14) or a calorie- and nitrogen-matched oral nutrition supplement (ONS, n = 15) for 5 days before and 5 days after RC. Blood was collected at baseline, during surgery (3 hours after incision), and on postoperative days 2, 14, and 30. Plasma interleukin (IL)-6 was analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The Th1-Th2 balance of inflammatory response was measured by analyzing the interferon (IFN)γ/IL-4 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)a/IL-13 ratios from stimulated CD4+ T cells.
RESULTS: Plasma IL-6 was significantly lower in the SIM group compared with the ONS group on postoperative day 2 (P = .020). The change in the TNFa/IL-13 ratio from baseline to 3 hours postincision was significantly different (P = .027) in the SIM group compared with the ONS group. The change in the IFNγ/IL-4 ratio from baseline to 3 hours postincision showed the same trend but was not statistically significant (P = .079).
CONCLUSIONS: Proinflammatory cytokine IL-6 was lower in the SIM group than the ONS group 2 days after surgery. The Th1-Th2 ratios suggest that skewed T-helper homeostasis from RC surgery is counteracted by consuming SIM. Modulating T-cell differentiation and the inflammatory response after RC surgery may help reduce common postoperative complications.
