Dynamics of serum proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukins (IL)-1, -2 and -6, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) was examined in patients of reproductive age suffering from acute inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs. Our study was carried out with female patients at hospital admission prior to therapy applied with conventional methods of treatment and improved treatment by using vaginal low-frequency laser in a constant continuous magnetic field. The data obtained were compared with serum cytokine level from 20 healthy female volunteers of reproductive age consulted on better contraception methods. It was found that cytokine profile of in patients with acute inflammatory processes in pelvic organs was characterized by a high level of proinflammatory cytokines. It was shown that patients receiving conventional treatment contained decreased level of serum IL-1, IL-2, IL-6 and TNFα displaying slight dynamics, which did not reach it in control group. This may contribute to ongoing inflammatory process, despite the positive clinical dynamics. In turn, imbalance of immune responses leads to a persistently impaired fertility in women and need to perform subsequent comprehensive rehabilitation measures. Moreover, patients applied with intravaginal low-frequency laser radiation in a constant magnetic field were found to contain serum TNFα 100 pg/ml observed in 59.7% of cases, IL-6 level was lower than 20 pg/ml (prevalent in control group) found in 54.2% of cases. Serum IL-2 level was decreased by 3.5-fold compared to baseline, whereas for IL-1β it was higher than 100 pg/ml in as few as 23.6% patients. Such temporal pattern of inflammatory markers with rapid significant decrease of serum proinflammatory cytokines in patients with preformed pathogenic factors can reduce probability of connective tissue formation and activate their own repair as well as regenerative events. The results obtained allow to wider use combined physical interventional factors for therapy of patients with acute inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs.
