Zusammenfassung: | Background : Pulmonary tuberculosis is frequently accompanied with complications such as bronchiectasis, cavities, fibrosis and a deterioration of the lung function. However, there is little information available on the pathogenesis of these complications in pulmonary tuberculosis. Among the many factors involving in tissue remodeling, transforming growth factor-${\beta}1$ ($TGF-{\beta}1$) is a potent stimulus of the extracellular matrix fomation and a mediator of potential relevance for airway wall remodeling. Therefore, this study examined the relationship between the radiological changes and the $TGF-{\beta}1$ level in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods : Serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were collected from total of 35 patients before treating them for active pulmonary tuberculosis, and the $TGF-{\beta}1$ levels were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The BALF levels were recalculated as the epithelial lining fluid (ELF) levels using the albumin method. pulmonary function test (PFT) and high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) were performed before and after treatment. Results : There was a strong correlation between the serum $TGF-{\beta}1$ level and the presence of cavities (r=0.404, p=0.006), even though the BAL $TGF-{\beta}1$ level showed a weak correlation with complications. In addition, there was no correlation between the $TGF-{\beta}1$ levels before treatment and the changes in the PFT and HRCT during treatment. Conclusion : There is a correlation between the serum $TGF-{\beta}1$ level and cavity formation in pulmonary tuberculosis before treatment. However, further study will be needed to confirm this. 연구배경 : 폐결핵의 치료 후에도 폐의 섬유화, 기관지확장증, 공동 등의 구조적 변화와 이로 인한 폐기능의 악화가 발생하는 경우가 있지만, 이러한 폐결핵의 합병증에 대한 발병기전에 대해 거의 알려진 것이 없다. Transforming growth factor-${\beta}1$ ($TGF-{\beta}1$)은 손상 받은 조직의 정상적인 치유과정의 매개체와 세기관지주위 섬유화에 주요한 기여인자로서 작용한다고 알려졌다. 저자들은 폐결핵의 영상학적 진행 및 폐기능의 변화와 $TGF-{\beta}1$ 농도와의 관련성을 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법: 대상 환자 35명 중 남자가 17명, 여자가 18명이었고 연령분포는 22세에서 65세로 중앙값은 46세였다 모든 환자에서 폐결핵 치료 전에 혈청과 기관지폐포 세첵액(bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, BALF)를 폐결핵 치료 이전에 채취하여 $TGF-{\beta}1$을 측정하였으며 폐기능검사와 고해상도 흉부전산화단층촬영(high resolution computed tomography, HRCT)을 치료 전과 후에 시행하여 비교분석하였다. 기관지폐포 세척액의 식염수와의 희석정도를 보정하기 위해 epithelial lining fluid (ELF) 용적을 알부민 교정방법에 구하여 기관지폐포 세척액에서 $TGF-{\beta}1$의 농도를 교정하였다 결 과: 치료 전의 BAL $TGF-{\beta}1$ 농도는 치료 전의 HRCT에 의한 영상학적 점수와는 상관관계를 보이지 않았으며 치료 전의 혈청 $TGF-{\beta}1$ 농도는 공동과 양의 상관관계를 보였다(r=0.46, |
