(Heart Septal Defects, Atrial) :
EA could enhance NKCA, but acupuncture anesthesia could n't inhibit the suppressive effect of CPB on NKCA, IL-2 and IFN-gamma, suggesting that the immunosuppression induced by stress has a prior effect
Yang et al., Zhongguo Zhen Jiu 2006
:
The general anesthesia combined with EA can not completely improve the decrease of IFN-gamma and IL-2 induced by CPB , indicating that the good response of the general anesthesia combined with EA to stress can partially improve the immunosupression induced by CPB
Naldini et al., Cytokine 1995
:
In all patients, CPB significantly reduces IFN-gamma and interleukin 2 (IL-2) production in response to PHA
