Abstract: Objective To investigate the changes of interleukin-4(IL-4),IL-10,IL-12,IL-13, interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) in the serum of atopic dermatitis patients at different stages of the disease, and explore their significance. Methods Seventy-nine atopic dermatitis patients at acute stage were enrolled. There were 40 cases at remission stage(remission group, RG), and 39 cases were still at acute stage after treatment(acute group, AG). The serum levels of IL-4,IL-10,IL-12,IL-13, IFN-γ and TGF-β were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) before and after treatment. Results There were significant differences in the serum levels of IL-4,IL-12,IL-13 and IFN-γ before and after treatment in the remission group(P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the serum levels of IL-10, TGF-β before and after treatment in the remission group(P>0.05). There were no significant differences in the serum levels of IL-4,IL-10,IL-12,IL-13, IFN-γ and TGF-β before and after treatment in the acute group(P>0.05).Conclusion Lower expression of IL-4, IL-13, and higher expression of IFN-γ, IL-12 in serum at remission stage of atopic dermatitis.

Key words: atopic dermatitis, helper T lymphocytes, interleukin, interferon-γ, transforming growth factor-β
