  • Major surgery due to traumatic injury can activate early systemic postoperative pro-inflammatory responses and postoperative immunosuppression. However, the interaction between them is complex and not entirely clear. This study was performed in postoperative patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) to elucidate the correlation between the systemic cellular immunity function and circulating cytokines levels in the early postoperative period. Twenty-four cases of postoperative patients admitted to the ICU were enrolled in this study. Twelve hours after admission, blood routine examination and measurement of circulating cytokines (interleukin-2 [IL-2], IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17A, interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-alpha [TNF-α], TNF-β, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor [G-CSF], and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor [GM-CSF]) were performed. The correlation analysis between cytokines levels and absolute peripheral blood lymphocyte count or lymphocytes/neutrophils ratio was analyzed. The cytokines (IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17A, TNF-α, G-CSF, and GM-CSF) levels were increased above the normal upper limit at 12 hours after surgery. The number of leukocytes and neutrophils were markedly increased. In contrast, the absolute count and relative ratio of lymphocytes decreased below the lower normal limit. Spearman correlation analysis showed a moderate negative correlation between absolute peripheral blood lymphocyte count and IL-2 or IL-4 level. A low-negative correlation between absolute peripheral blood lymphocyte count and GM-CSF levels was detected. We also found that lymphocytes/neutrophils ratio was also negatively correlated with plasma IL-2, IL-4, or GM-CSF level. In ICU patients with compromised immune function in the early postoperative period, the elevated levels of IL-2, IL-4, and GM-CSF may be the compensatory responses to systemic immunosuppression.
