The relations between of interleukin - 1β (IL - 1β)
interleukin - 6 (IL- 6)
tumor necrosis factor (TNFa) and lung yin - deficiency syndrome were studied by means of immunohistachemical method. Results indicated that expression levels of IL - 1β and TNFα in macrophages and other non - tumor cells were correlated with lung yin -deficiency syndrome
expression levels of IL -Iβ and TNFα in non - tumor cells of lung yin-deficiency syndrome group were higher than those of normal control group and patient control group; the IL- 1β/IL - 6 ratio and TNFα/IL -6 ratio in non -tumor cells were closely related with lung yin - deficiency syndrome
IL- 1β/IL - 6 ratio and TNFα/IL -6 ratio in non-tumor cells of lung yin-deficiency group were higher those of the normal control group and the patient control group. The authors hold that IL -1β and TNFα cellular factors are essence of yin-deficiency.
