Abstract:
Objective To investigate serum IL-35 and hs-CRP level in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD), and their clinical significance. Methods Eighty patients with COPD, including 49 cases of acute exacerbation (group A) and 31 cases of stable disease (group B), and 25 healthy subjects (group C) were recruited in the study. Serum levels of IL-35 and hs-CRP were determined by ELISA. Results Compared to control group [(5.194±1.595)ng/ml], serum IL-35 levels in group B and A were significantly lower [(4.171±1.339)ng/ml and(3.480±1.790)ng/ml; P<0.05], while there was no significant difference between group B and group A (P>0.05). Serum Hs-CRP levels in group A were significantly higher than those in group B and group C (61.143±30.024mg/L vs. 12.161±4.495mg/L and 1.075±0.855mg/L, P<0.05). The serum IL-35 was negatively correlated with hs-CRP (r=-0.349, P=0.014) in group A, but not in group B (r=-0.237, P=0.199). Conclusion The low serum IL-35 level and high hs-CRP level in AECOPD patients may be used as an indicator for clinical diagnosis.
