Abstract
BACKGROUND: The incidence of lung cancer is increasing annually. Clinicians pay special attention to lung tests during physical examinations. Due to the popularity of low-dose computed tomography, not only can lung cancer be diagnosed early, but physical examinations often reveal the presence of pulmonary nodules, an important health issue that cannot be ignored. Patients with pulmonary nodules are prone to adverse emotions such as anxiety and depression. Many studies have shown that patients with emotional disorders have immune system dysfunction and changes in inflammation levels. This study aimed to investigate the changes in anxiety, depression, the ratios of T helper cells 17 (Th17) and regulatory T cells (Tregs), and inflammation levels in patients with pulmonary nodules.Entities:

1三组间Th17细胞和Tregs百分比。相比于HC组及NAD组,AD组的Th17细胞百分明显升高(P < 0.001),而HC组与NAD组之间无显著差异(P=0.237)。Tregs百分比在三组间的差异无统计学意义(P=0.142)。
The percentage of Th17 cells and Tregs among three groups. The percentage of Th17 cells in AD group was higher than the HC and NAD groups (P < 0.001), while there was no significant difference between HC group and NAD group (P=0.237). There were no statistically significant differences in the percentage of Tregs among three groups (P=0.142).
