| Abstract | Idiopathic pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) has recently been recognized as a disease of impaired alveolar macrophage function caused by the neutralizing granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) autoantibody. However, the change of immunological function and biochemical index in the peripheral blood of patients with idiopathic PAP remains unclear. The clinical data of 29 patients with idiopathic PAP and 30 normal subjects were retrospectively analyzed. Biochemical indices, immunoglobulin and complement of all participants, and immunocytes in 19 patients and 30 normal subjects were evaluated. The peripheral blood of the patients showed a decrease in CD4+/CD8+ (P<0.05) and the percentage of the CD4+ T lymphocyte and helper T lymphocyte (both P<0.01), whereas an increase was observed in the percentage of the suppressor T lymphocyte (P<0.01) compared to the normal subjects. No significant differences were found in the concentration of IgG, IgA, IgM, C3 and C4 between the two groups. An increase was observed in LDH (P<0.01) and cytokeratin fragment antigen (CYFR) 211 (P<0.01) in the peripheral blood of the patients compared to that of normal subjects. The serum level of LDH was negatively correlated with FVC% Pred (P<0.05), DLCO% Pred (P<0.05), PaO2 (P<0.05) and positively associated with the dyspnea score (P<0.05) of 29 patients, and positively correlated with the score of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the chest of 21 patients (P<0.05). The serum level of CYFR211 was negatively correlated with DLCO% Pred (P<0.05) and positively associated with the dyspnea score (P<0.05). Findings of the present study suggest that hypofunction of cellular immunity may exist in the patients with idiopathic PAP. LDH and CYFRA211 may be considered as important indices to monitor the severity of idiopathic PAP. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
