Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid cytokine bead array profile for prognostication of ventilated trauma patients
AIM OF STUDY Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a common cause of mortality in trauma patients admitted to Intensive Care Units. The outcome of such patients may be dependent on local host immune response, which may be best reflected in studies using bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid. The present study was conducted to ascertain the cytokine profile of BAL using the cytometric bead array...
متن کاملUpregulation of Th1 cytokine profile in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of patients with hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
The aim was to find out how the IL-12 and IL-18 levels in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) correspond to the inflammatory activity of the hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP). We studied 12 patients with HP and 13 normal subjects. IL-12 and IL-18 levels were measured using ELISA kits. We found a significantly higher plasma angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) concentration (55 vs. 34 U/L, P=...
متن کاملCytokine profile of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in patients with combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) is characterized by upper lobe emphysema together with lower lobe fibrosis. The aim of this study was to examine whether cytokine levels in the alveolar space are associated with emphysematous changes superimposed on pulmonary fibrosis. METHODS Consecutive patients (n = 102), diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis were retro...
متن کاملCellular profile of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in Turkish miners.
Pneumoconiosis is still a health problem in Turkey and has a relatively high incidence. Retired underground miners were investigated to document alveolitis, and to observe the difference in the cellular profiles of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid with or without pneumoconiosis. Twenty nine retired male miners and 17 controls, eight non-smokers (four male, four female) and nine smokers (six m...
متن کاملPolarized type 1 cytokine profile in bronchoalveolar lavage T cells of patients with hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is characterized by an inflammatory lymphocytic alveolitis comprised of both CD8+ and CD4+ T cells. Animal models suggest that HP is facilitated by overproduction of IFN-gamma, and that IL-10 ameliorates severity of the disease, indicating a Th1-type response. To determine whether a Th1 phenotype in HP also exists clinically, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and pe...
