Objective: To analyze the correlation between vitamin A, D, E levels and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-a), interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-10 (IL-10), neutrophil, C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in pediatric community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Methods: 110 children with CAP and 100 normal children were collected.The concentrations of fat-soluble vitamin A, D, E, the proportion of leukocytes and subtypes, the concentration of CRP, and the concentration of cytokines TNF-a, IL-1, and IL-10 were tested. Differences between vitamin levels and inflammatory factor levels were compared between the two groups.The correlation between vitamin levels and inflammatory factor levels was analyzed in children with CAP. Results: The hemoglobin, leukocyte concentration, neutrophils, monocytes and CRP concentration in the CAP group showed significant differences (P <0.05).The levels of vitamin A, D and E in the CAP group were lower than those in the control group, and the levels of TNF-a and IL-1 were higher than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). IL-10 levels have no significant between 2 groups (P>0.05).The Pearson analysis showed that the vitamin A, D, and E levels were all correlated with the TNF-a, IL-10, and CRP levels (P <0.05). Conclusion: The vitamin A, D, E levels of CAP children were lower than normal children. The content of fat-soluble vitamins are somewhat correlated with the secretion of TNF-a and IL-10 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
