Abstract

The expression level and prognosis of Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with severe sepsis after applying pulse high-volume hemofiltration (PHVHF) were investigated. Sustained PHVHF treatment was carried out on 40 patients on the basis of conventional treatment for up to 72 h. Acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) Ⅱ scores of patients were compared before and after the treatment. CD4+, CD8+ lymphocyte counts and ratios in the peripheral blood were detected using FASort before and 24 and 48 h of PHVHF treatment. Enzyme‑linked immunosorbent assay was adopted to detect tumor necrosis factor‑α (TNF‑α) and interleukin‑10 (IL‑10) concentrations in plasma at different time points before and after 24, 48 and 72 h of treatment, while semi‑quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction technology was used to test TLR2 mRNA expression. After PHVHF treatment, APACHE Ⅱ, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment scores were decreased (P<0.05). After 72 h of PHVHF treat-ment, TNF-α, IL-10, TLR2 mRNA expression levels in the plasma of patients were significantly decreased compared to before treatment (P<0.05), and the IL-10 / TNF-α ratio was much higher than before treatment (p<0.05). In conclusion, PHVHF can restore the pro‑inflammatory/anti‑inflammatory balance of the body, thereby improving the overall condition of the patients by removing inflammatory mediators and lowering TLR2 expression of mononuclear cell surface in peripheral blood.
