Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effects of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) on the immune function in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (PT) and the inflammatory response following one-lung ventilation surgery by comparing the levels of inflammatory mediators, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and interleukin 8 (IL-8); T lymphocyte subsets, including CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, and CD4+/CD8+ cells; and natural killer cells (NK cells). Methods: We randomly divided 62 patients who underwent general anesthesia for thoracotomy into two grou
