目的探讨甲氨蝶呤(MTX)治疗寻常性银屑病(PV)的疗效及对患者血清IL-23,IL-17的影响,进一步阐明MTX治疗PV的作用机制.方法应用ELISA方法检测42例寻常性银屑痛患者经MXT治疗前后血清IL-23,IL-17水平变化,并与4l例正常对照组比较。结果MTX治疗寻常性银屑病疗效显著,治疗后PASI评分显著下降(P〈0.01)。患者血清IL-23,IL-17水平分别为(1581.16±463.31)ng/L和(7.44±2.36)ng/L,显著高于正常对照组的(832.41±309.16)ng/L和(2.93±O.85)ng/L,差异有统计学意义(P〈0.01)MTX治疗后患者血清IL-23,IL-17水平分别为(845.68±385.95)ng/L和(3.04±0.79)ng/L,与治疗前相比显著下降,差异有统计学意义(P〈0.叭),且患者血清IL-23,IL-17水平与银屑病PASI评分均呈显著正相关(P〈0.01)。结论MTX治疗寻常性银屑病疗效显著,可能通过调节Th17细胞降低血清IL-23,IL-17水平发挥治疗作用,
Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of methotrexate (MTX) on psoriasis vulgaris ( PV), study the effect of MTX on serum levels of IL-23 and IL-17, and further clarify the mechanism of MTX. Methods Serum levels of IL-23 and IL-17 in 42 patients with PV ( before and 'after treatment hy MTX) and 41 healthy controls were measured by ELISA. Results The mean PASI scores were significantly decreased 'af- ter treatment with MTX (P 〈0. 01 ). Serum levels of IL-23 and IL-17 of PV patients were 1561.91±501.84 ng/L and 7. 87±2.41 ng/L, respectively. Which were both significantly higher than those in healthy con- trois (796.59 ± 342. 61 ng/L and 2.91±0. 71 ng/L,P 〈0. 01 ). After treatment with MTX,Serum levels of IL-23 and IL-17 of PV patients were 845.68 ± 385.95 ng,/L and 3.04 ± 0. 79 ng/L, respeetively. Which were both significantly decreased than those before treatment. Serum levels of IL-23 and IL-17 of PV patients were both associated with PASI (P 〈 0.01 ). Conclusion MTX is significantly effective in the treatment of PV. It may 'affect serum levels of IL-23 and IL-17 by regulating Thl7 cells to play a role in the treatment of
