Purpose: To investigate the long-term influence on immune function of quantitative microwave ablation for secondary splenomegaly and hypersplenism.
Materials and methods: Patients with secondary splenomagely and hypersplenism were performed by microwave ablation of the spleen. Changes of T lymphocyte subsets, CD19+ lymphocyte and natural killer cell were detected before and after operation. T lymphocyte subsets, CD19+ lymphocyte and natural killer cell were detected by flow cytometry.
Results: CD19+ lymphocyte increased obviously at each occasion after microwave ablation therapy compared with pre-operation level. Patients’ level of CD3, CD3+CD4+ increased significantly 1 month after microwave ablation, but decreased slightly 3 months after operation. There were no significant change of CD3+CD8+,CD4/CD8 and NK cell level 1 and 3 months after operation compared with pre-operation level.
Conclusions: Microwave ablation therapy for splenomegaly and hypersplenism preserve part of the anatomic structure of the spleen and maintain its physiological function especially the immune function, and in the long-term it can partly increase the spleen immune function. From immune point of view, we can say that it is safe and effective.

解放军总医院超声科自94年起开展微波治疗肝癌的大量基础和临床研究,在微波凝固治疗肝癌的研究中取得了令人鼓舞的结果[1-4]。 微波对生物组织加热是内源性加热,它具有良好的凝固和止血效果,并且热效率高、升温速度快、高温热场较均匀、消融范围较可靠。利用微波的这些特性将其应用范围进一步扩展到脾大、脾亢的治疗中。通过动物实验和初步的临床研究,证实微波部分消融脾组织治疗脾大、脾功能亢进的方法是安全、可行及有效的。然而,脾脏作为重要的免疫器官,在微波热消融后对免疫功能的影响迄今研究不多。现将我们研究组在这方面的初步研究结果报告如下。
1. 资料与方法
1.1 研究对象 肝硬化、脾大脾亢患者,年龄32-67岁,平均年龄(51.6±3.7)岁;均有乙肝病史,肝功能Child分级全部为A级。所有患者于治疗前填写治疗单并由本人或其家属签字同意。
1.2 主要仪器
1.2.1微波治疗仪 KY-2000微波消融治疗仪,南京康友微波能研究所,微波发射频率为915MHz, 功率范围0-100瓦。
1.2.2超声诊断仪 Acuson Sequoia 512 型超声仪,2.5-4MHz探头,配有穿刺导向器。
1.2.3流式细胞仪 FACSCalibur 美国BD公司。
1.3 方法与步骤
1.3.1 超声引导下经皮穿刺:患者右侧卧位,彩超引导避开可视血流择点定位,常规消毒铺巾,1%盐酸利多卡因局麻,嘱病人屏气配合,15G微波天线直入脾中下部背侧预定部位,静脉给药实施全麻,启动微波治疗仪,作用功率及作用时间为70-80W10-25分钟。再退针2-4cm,微波继续作用,直至脾包膜下,消融完毕后,出针时凝固针道,防止出血。消融完毕后即刻,超声探查腹腔有无液性暗区,监测有无出血。
1.3.2 腹腔镜下: 全麻后行气管插管,左背部垫高30°斜位。脐上缘穿刺建立气腹后,30°角腹腔镜探查腹腔,左中下腹腋前线及剑突下分别做另外两个切口。游离暴露脾脏下极后,消融电极经皮刺入腹腔,再在腔镜监视下自下极或背侧进入脾脏,开始消融,烧灼一次后退2cm,再烧灼,直至脾包膜下,再烧灼针道防止出血后退出。
1.4免疫细胞的检测 全部患者均于治疗前1天、治疗后3天、7天、1个月、3个月抽取外周静脉血,并置于肝素抗凝管内送检。采用流式细胞仪(FACSCalibur 美国BD公司)Simulset软件检测。T淋巴细胞亚群检测试剂盒:美国Becton-Dickinson(BD)公司Simultest IMK Lymphocytes Kit 检测试剂盒。
1.5统计学处理
统计分析采用Stata7.0软件,计量资料以均数±标准差( ±SD)表示,治疗前后比较采用方差分析 。P<0.05差异有统计学意义。
