Popis: Objective: This study aimed to examine the expression of M-CSF, TNF-β, IFN-γ, and IL-10 in rats with liver cirrhosis and hypersplenism, and to investigate its significance. Methods: Seventy-two healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into a model group (n=60) and a control group (n=12). The rats in the model group were first gavaged with a 40% CCL4/peanut oil solution to develop cirrhosis and hypersplenism. The expression rates and intensities of the pro-inflammatory cytokines M-CSF, TNF-β, and IFN-γ, and the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in the spleen were measured and compared with the control group. The pro-inflammatory/anti-inflammatory cytokine ratio and its role were analyzed. Results: The positive expression rates of M-CSF, TNF-β, IFN-γ, and IL-10 in the model group (cirrhosis and hypersplenism) were 61.76%, 79.41%, 64.70%, and 88.24%, respectively, which were significantly different (P
