Abstract:
Objective To explore connective tissue growth factor(CTGF)and transforming growth factor β1(TGF-β1)detection levels in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)and significance.Methods Totally 65 patients with COPD treated in the hospital from March 2016 to March 2017 were selected as the subjects,the patients were divided into acute exacerba-tion group(32 cases)and stable phase group(33 cases)according to the severity of the disease.Another 35 cases of physical examination in the hospital were selected as the control group.Serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid CTGF and TGF-β1 levels were detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) method,and lung function index,such as forced vital capacity(FVC),forced expiratory volume(FEV1),and FEV1/FVC of patients with COPD were detected,and the relationship was analyzed of CTGF and TGF-β1 in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and lung function.Results CTGF and TGF-β1 levels in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in acute exacerbation group were significantly higher than those in stable group and control group(P<0.05).CTGF and TGF-β1 levels in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of the sta-ble group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).Lung function results showed that lung function index FVC,FEV1 and FEV1/FVC value in acute exacerbation group decreased significantly when compared with those in stable group and the control group(P<0.05).FEV1 and FEV1/FVC in the sta-ble group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).CTGF expression level was posi-tively correlated in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of acute exacerbation group,and TGF-β1 was also positively correlated.Serum CTGF and TGF-β1 levels were positively correlated,and CTGF and TGF-β1 in alveolar lavage fluid were also positively correlated.Serum CTGF and TGF-β1 levels were negatively correla-ted with FVC,FEV1,FEV1/FVC,and CTGF and TGF-β1 in alveolar lavage fluid were negatively correlated with FVC,FEV1 and FEV1/FVC respectively.Conclusion The high expression of CTGF and TGF-β1 is closely related to the occurrence and development of COPD,and it can be used as an index for monitoring the condition of COPD.
