From: Perioperative immune responses in cancer patients undergoing digestive surgeries
Perioperative changes of measurements of IL-4 in surgical patients. (Black squares – gastric resection (n = 40), black circles – colorectal resection (n = 34), black triangles – hepatic resection (n = 20), white squares – laparoscopic cholecystectomy(n = 12)). There were significant differences in the percentage of CD4+ IL-4+T cells between malignancy group and LC groups prior to surgery. The postoperative percentage of CD4+ IL-4+T cells in all groups significantly increased on POD 2 compared with before operation.
