N2 - OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship of cytokines and Cold-Heat Syndrome in patients of duodenal ulcer. METHODS: Cold-Heat Syndrome Differentiation was done in 48 patients of duodenal ulcer, and the levels of interleukin-8 (IL-8), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), malonyldialdehyde (MDA), marrow peroxidase (MPO) in gastric mucosa biopsy were measured and compared with those of 10 normal subjects. RESULTS: Levels of IL-8, TNF, MPO and MDA in Heat Syndrome were higher than those in Cold Syndrome (P < 0.05), while IL-6 level showed no significant relationship with Cold-Heat Syndrome. CONCLUSION: Cytokines IL-8, TNF, MPO and MDA are correlated with Cold-Heat Syndrome in duodenal ulcer patients and which might be one of the molecular mechanisms of Cold-Heat Syndrome Differentiation.
