细胞因子风暴


Definition from baidu:
细胞因子风暴(cytokine storm)是指机体感染微生物后引起体液中多种细胞因子如TNF-α、IL-1、IL-6、IL-12、IFN-α、IFN-β、IFN-γ、MCP-1和IL-8等迅速大量产生的现象,是引起急性呼吸窘迫综合征和多脏器衰竭的重要原因。

Example sentence(s):
  • 什么是细胞因子风暴? 正常模式下,病毒来袭,免疫反攻;病毒溃败,免疫收兵。但有些时候,免疫细胞大军失控,以服从命令为天职的士兵成了随心所欲的暴徒,拿着重量级武器横冲直撞。 这种免疫系统的“倒戈起义”,虽然已有检测手段、反击方法,但是对新冠病毒引发的免疫失常,具体应对手段还不很明确。 免疫系统反应过激的原因多种多样,包括感染、基因缺陷、“敌我混淆”(把自身组织看作入侵者)的免疫疾病等。所有这些都归入“细胞因子风暴”范畴。 - BBC  
  • 炎症因子风暴也称细胞因子风暴(cytokine storm),或系统性炎症反应综合征(system inflammatory response syndrome, SIRS),其机制是免疫细胞过度的活化,细胞内炎性因子包括白细胞介素、TNF-a, 补体蛋白分子等大量释放,对感染源及被感染的细胞进行暴风雨般的自杀式攻击,造成自身组织细胞的旁观者损伤伴随血管通透性增加及循环障碍,最坏的结果是多器官功能衰竭(MOF)。 - 中国免疫学会
