摘要:

目的 观察窄谱中波紫外线(NB-UVB)单独或联合干扰素治疗覃样肉芽肿(MF)的疗效,探讨外周血调节性T(Treg)细胞和辅助性T细胞17(Th17)细胞与疗效的相关性。 方法 33例ⅠA期-ⅡA期MF患者按照治疗方法分为两组,分别应用NB-UVB单独照射(照射组)和NB-UVB照射联合重组人干扰素(INF)-α-2b肌内注射(联合组)治疗。于治疗前和治疗9个月后分别采集患者外周血,流式细胞仪检测Treg细胞和Th17细胞百分率。以10例健康人外周血为对照组(健康对照组)。 结果 平均治疗时间9个月,照射组15例中,完全缓解6例,部分缓解3例,无效6例,联合组18例中,完全缓解12例,部分缓解5例,无效1例,联合治疗效果显著优于单独治疗(P = 0.023)。治疗前两组患者外周血 Treg和Th17细胞百分率均明显高于健康人(均P < 0.05),两患者组间差异无统计学意义(P > 0.05);治疗后两患者组Treg和Th17细胞百分率均显著下降,但仍高于健康对照组(均P < 0.05)。联合组Treg和Th17细胞降幅均大于照射组(均P < 0.05)。7例治疗无效患者治疗后外周血Treg细胞较治疗前亦有降低(P < 0.05),Th17细胞无显著下降(P > 0.05)。 结论 NB-UVB照射联合INF-α-2b肌内注射治疗MF临床疗效优于单独使用NB-UVB,疗效可能与外周血Treg和Th17细胞降幅有关。

Methods Thirty-three patients with stage IA to IIA MF were randomly divided into two groups: NB-UVB group (n = 15) receiving NB-UVB radiation alone, combined group (n = 18) treated with NB-UVB radiation and intramuscular injection of INF-alpha-2b. Ten healthy volunteers were selected as the control group. Peripheral blood samples were collected before and 9 months after the start of treatment. Flow cytometry was performed to determine the percentages of Treg cells and Th17 cells. Statistical analysis was carried out by using t test, one-way analysis of variance, and Fisher′s exact test. Results The average treatment duration was 9 months among these patients. Therapeutic outcomes were significantly better in the combined group than in the NB-UVB group (P = 0.023). Among the 15 patients in the NB-UVB group, 6 achieved complete remission, 3 partial remission, 6 showed no response; of the 18 patients in the combined group, 12 experienced complete remission, 5 partial remission, and 1 showed no response. Before the treatment, the percentages of both Treg and Th17 cells in peripheral blood were significantly higher in the NB-UVB group and combined group than in the control group (both P < 0.05), but similar between the NB-UVB group and combined group (both P > 0.05). After the treatment, the percentages of both Treg and Th17 cells in the NB-UVB group and combined group significantly decreased compared with those before the treatment, but were still higher than those in the control group (both P < 0.05). Additionally, the degree of decrease in the percentages of Treg and Th17 cells was significantly greater in the combined group than in the NB-UVB group (both P < 0.05). The seven patients with no response also showed a significant decrease in the percentage of Treg cells (P < 0.05), but no obvious changes in that of Th17 cells (P > 0.05) after the treatment. Conclusions The therapeutic effect of NB-UVB radiation combined with intramuscular INF-alpha-2b is superior to that of NB-UVB radiation alone for MF, which may be associated with the degree of decrease in peripheral blood Treg and Th17 cells.
