Correlations between IL-36 family cytokines in peripheral blood and subjective and objective assessment results in patients with allergic rhinitis

Table 5 Comparison of IL-36 family cytokine concentration levels in peripheral blood between patients with positive and negative inhaled allergen tIgE (pg/mL)

IL-36 family cytokines	tIgE positive group	tIgE negative group	z/t value	P value
IL-36α	6.84 × 10³(5.38 × 10³, 1.03 × 10⁴)	6.01 × 10³(4.89 × 10³, 8.86 × 10³)	-1.31	0.189
IL-36β	88.52 ± 23.66	80.93 ± 34.66	-1.23	0.219
IL-36γ	343.47(262.96, 392.82)	306.00(249.98, 379.55)	-0.88	0.379
IL-36Ra	3.50 × 10³(3.15 × 10³, 4.43 × 10³)	3.40 × 10³(2.62 × 10³, 4.38 × 10³)	-0.89	0.374
IL-38	343.87(229.00, 489.95)	270.51(200.40, 415.26)	-1.03	0.304

IL interleukin, tIgE total immunoglobulin E. The data was described by the mean ± standard deviation or the median and interquartile range. The independent sample t test was used for normal distribution data, otherwise Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between tIgE positive group and tIgE negative group. P < 0.05 was considered significant
