Serial Epithelial Lining Fluid Collection Using Bronchoscopic Microsampling in a Canine Lung Transplantation Model.

چکیده
OBJECTIVES As a less invasive alternative to bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), bronchoscopic microsampling (BMS) was developed to identify molecules present in the epithelial lining fluid (ELF) of the distal airways. Here, we evaluated the utility of BMS for serial collection of ELF in a canine lung transplant model. METHODS ELF was collected hourly by BMS up to 5 hours after reperfusion in a canine left lung transplant model. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α levels in ELF were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and were compared with those in BAL fluid. RESULTS Serial collection of ELF by BMS in graft lungs was possible without adverse effects. However, the partial pressure of oxygen was markedly decreased because of ischemia-reperfusion lung injury. Probe ELF absorption ranged from 1-18 µL. TNF-α expression was significantly elevated and detected for 5 hours after reperfusion, whereas it was very low in the sham-operated group (p < 0.05). TNF-α concentration in BAL fluid was less than one-hundredth of that in ELF. CONCLUSIONS BMS was safe and effective for serial ELF collection in grafted lungs. Temporal changes in TNF-α corresponded with ischemia-reperfusion lung injury. This is the first study to adopt BMS to elucidate pulmonary function after lung transplantation.

Bronchoscopic microsampling method for measuring drug concentration in epithelial lining fluid.
Direct measurement of the concentration of antimicrobial agents in bronchial epithelial lining fluid (ELF) would allow for a more informed approach to appropriate dosing of antimicrobial agents for respiratory tract infections. In this study, we determined the time versus concentration profile in ELF after an oral administration of levofloxacin, using recently developed bronchoscopic microsampl...
متن کاملElevation of KL-6, a lung epithelial cell marker, in plasma and epithelial lining fluid in acute respiratory distress syndrome.
KL-6 is a pulmonary epithelial mucin more prominently expressed on the surface membrane of alveolar type II cells when these cells are proliferating, stimulated, and/or injured. We hypothesized that high levels of KL-6 in epithelial lining fluid and plasma would reflect the severity of lung injury in patients with acute lung injury (ALI). Epithelial lining fluid was obtained at onset (day 0) an...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The bronchoscopic microsample (BMS) probe allows direct epithelial lining fluid (ELF) level measurement without saline lavage. We investigated whether cytokine levels in ELF from a BMS differed from those obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in stable and acute lung disease. METHODS In a single-centre, prospective observational cohort study of 45 patients, a sequ...

OBJECTIVES Bronchoscopic microsampling (BMS) is a new technique for repeated sampling of bronchial epithelial lining fluid (ELF) to obtain the pharmacokinetic profile of drugs. We analyzed the time versus concentration profiles of telithromycin in bronchial ELF obtained by BMS and compared these finding to those in plasma and alveolar ELF obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL).

متن کاملNapsin A levels in epithelial lining fluid as a diagnostic biomarker of primary lung adenocarcinoma
BACKGROUND It is crucial to develop novel diagnostic approaches for determining if peripheral lung nodules are malignant, as such nodules are frequently detected due to the increased use of chest computed tomography scans. To this end, we evaluated levels of napsin A in epithelial lining fluid (ELF), since napsin A has been reported to be an immunohistochemical biomarker for histological diagno...
