OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the effect of bronchoscopy on intestinal mucosal barrier function and its association with intestinal @entity842 production. METHODS: 30 @entity35 were used. The study group (n=15) underwent rigid bronchoscopy. At 24 h following bronchoscopy, ileal @entity3542 / @entity1507 levels were evaluated. The ileum was also examined for @entity16 , and graded according Chiu's histologic injury scale. RESULTS: In the bronchoscopy group, the ileal @entity3542 / @entity1507 levels were significantly higher than those of controls (398.5 +/- 85.1 and 44.5 +/- 6.6 nmol/g tissue, respectively, P=0.001). In the bronchoscopy group, the @entity16 was significant, compared with those of controls (mean ranks, 22.8 and 8.2, P<0.0001). The changes varied from denuded villi and dilated capillaries to significant @entity2167 , @entity1066 and @entity548 . Significant correlation was found between ileal @entity3542 / @entity1507 levels and @entity16 in the bronchoscopy group (rs=0.56, P=0.03). CONCLUSION: This study suggests that bronchoscopy induces @entity1944 in association with excess intestinal @entity842 production. These events may be involved in mechanisms responsible for bacterial translocation after bronchoscopy.
