Regulation of Acupuncture on Interferon-γ and Tumor Necrosis Factor of Lung Cancer-Operative Cases
2006
Overview
Objective: To investigate the regulation of acupuncture on γ-interferon (INF-γ) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) of lung cancer-operative cases.Methods: to determine the INF-γ and TNF contents in the blood serum of lung cancer patients by double antibody sandwich immuno-enzymatic method (ELISA); to measure the INF-γ and TNF contents of 30 lung cancer patients in the acupuncture anesthesia group and 30 lung cancer patients in general anesthesia group before the operation and at the 8th days, the 12th day after the operation respectively and make comparison between the two groups.Results: The pre-operation INF-γ contents of the two groups showed no significant difference (P>0.05); the post-operation INF-γ contents of the two groups showed significant difference at 8th day and 12th day after the operation (P<0.05); the acupuncture anesthesia group was superior to the general anesthesia group; the self-comparison of the anesthesia group showed significant difference at the 12th day and 8th day after the operation (P<0.05); the pre-operation TNF contents of the two groups showed no significant difference (P>0.05) and the post-operation TNF contents of the two groups showed significant difference at the 8th day and 12th day after the operation (P<0.05).Conclusion: Acupuncture can increase the serum INF-γ and TNF contents of lung cancer patients and therefore regulate the immunity of the patients.
