摘要
目的:探讨免疫抑制剂静脉冲击治疗Graves病相关性眼病(GO)的疗效与外周血T淋巴细胞亚群变化的关系。方法:GO患者58例,随机平均分为2组(n=29),所有患者口服常规抗甲状腺药物和(或)左旋甲状腺素片替代治疗,同时接受含甲泼尼龙0.5g的生理盐水250ml及含环磷酰胺0.2g的生理盐水500ml静滴,1次/d,连用3d,间隔4d重复用,共3~6个疗程。A组在冲击治疗结束后口服泼尼松片和环磷酰胺片,B组在冲击治疗后甲状腺内注射地塞米松磷酸钠注射液。结果:A组中2例退出,B组中1例退出,B组的疗效好于A组(P〈0.05)。两组治疗后突眼度、突眼活动度、促甲状腺素受体抗体(TRAb)、过氧化物酶抗体(TPOAb)、外周血NK细胞、CD3^+T淋巴细胞、CD8^+T淋巴细胞较治疗前明显减少(P〈0.05),CD4^+/CD8^+比值较治疗前升高(P〈0.05);B组治疗后突眼度及突眼活动度、CD3^+、CD8^+T淋巴细胞较A组降低更显著(P〈0.05),CD4^-/CD8^-比值增高较A组更显著(P〈0.05)。治疗前CD4^+T淋巴细胞在显效组、有效组、无效组间存在显著性差异(P〈0.05);3组中治疗后的TRAb、TPOAb、CD3^+、CD8^+T淋巴细胞较治疗前显著减少(P〈0.05),CD4^+T淋巴细胞、CD4^+/CD8^+比值治疗后较治疗前显著升高(P〈0.05);治疗后TRAb、CD4^+、CD8^+T淋巴细胞、CD4^+/CD8^+在3组间存在显著性差异(P〈0.05)。结论:甲泼尼龙联合环磷酰胺静脉冲击治疗GO能缓解失调的外周血T淋巴细胞,疗效明显,冲击治疗后甲状腺内注射地塞米松疗效更佳;GO的外周血CD4^+T淋巴细胞降低可能预示疗效不良。
Objective: To study the association between the outcomes of intravenous pulse-therapy with immunosuppressants and the changes of peripheral blood T cell subgroup in patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO). Methods: Fifty-eight patients with GO were randomized into 2 groups (n=29). All patients received antithyroid drugs orally and (or) Levothyroxine; they also received intravenous meprednisone (0.5 g) and cyclophosphamide(0.2 g) once a day for 3 days. After an interval of 4 days the administration of meprednisone and cyclophosphamide was repeated. All patients received a total of 3-6 times of treatment. Patients in group A were given prednisone and cyclophosphamide orally after immunosuppressants. Patients in group B were injected with Dexamethasone into thyroid after immunosuppressants. Results: Two patients withdrew from group A and one from group B. The therapeutic effect in group B was significantly better than that in group A (P〈0.05). Compared with before treatment, the degrees of exophthalmos and exophthalmos activity were significantly lowered after treatment (P〈0.05); the thyrotropin receptor antibodies (TRAb) ,thyroid peroxidase (TPOAb),peripheral blood NK cells, CD3^+ T lymphocytes,and CD8^+T lymphocytes were significantly reduced after treatment (P〈0.05) ;the ratio of CD4^+/CD8^+ was increased after the treatment (P〈0. 05). The degrees of exophthalmos, exophthalmos activity and levels of CD3^+ T lymphocytes decreased more significantly in group B than in group A(P〈0. 05). The ratio of CD4^+/CD8^+ increased more significantly in group B than in group A(P〈0.05). Before treatment the counts of CD4^+ T lymphocytes were markedly different between the effective, moderately effective, and the ineffective group (P〈0. 05). Significant differences in TRAb, TPOAb, CD3^+ ,CD8^+ cells were found among the 3 groups after treatment. (P〈0. 05). CD4^+ T lymphocytes and CD4^+/CD8^+ ratio were significantly higher after treatment compared with those before treatment (P〈0. 05). Significant differences in TRAb, CD4^+,CD8^+ T lymphocytes, CD4^-/CD8^- ratio were found among 3 groups (P〈0. 05). Conclusion: Combination of meprednison and cyclophosphamide can relieve the abnormality of peripheral blood T cells in GO and has obvious therapeutic effect. Additional intrathyroid injection of dexamethasone may achieve even better outcome. The reduction of CD4^+ T lymphocytes in peripheral blood of GO patients may indicate poor prognsis.
