目的测定转化生长因子β1(transfergrowthfactorbetal,TGF-β1)在接尘工人血清中的表达水平,探讨其作为反映接尘暴露及尘肺早期诊断指标的可能性。方法采用双抗体夹心法,测定72例煤矿接尘工人(分为无尘肺0+期组32人与接尘组40人)和45例健康对照者血清TGF-β1的表达水平。结果无尘肺0+者血清TGF-B。含量为(59.71±7.74)ng/ml、接尘组为(48.45±5.45)ng/ml,对照组为(13.89±2.40)ng/ml。0+期组、接尘组血清TGF-β1含量均高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05),0+期组与接尘组差异亦有统计学意义,0+期组与接尘组按工龄分层,各组内层之间差异无统计学意义。结论本次研究提示,TGF-β1可以作为监测粉尘暴露的指标,亦可做为早期筛查高危人群的指标。
Objective To explore the serum level of TGF-β1 in dust exposed workers. Methods The serum levels of TGF-β1 in 72 dust exposed workers( including 32 persons without pneumoconiosis in 0 + stage and 40 people in dust exposed group) and 45 healthy individuals were detected by means of enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results The serum levels of TGF-β1 in 0 + group were (59.71± 7.74) ng/ml, and in group of dust exposed were (48.45 ±5.45 ) ng/ml, the serum levels of control group were ( 13.89 ±2.40) ng/ml, there were statistically differences between the three groups; The serum levels of TGF- β1 in 0 + group were higher than the other two groups ( P 〈 O. 05 ). Conclusious TGF-β1 can be a sensitive index of dust exposure and early screening in high risk population.
