Objectives : This study was performed to investigate the relationship between cell counts, supernatant and lysate ECP levels in sputum, and physiologic markers in adult asthmatic. Methods : Twenty-two patients with mild to moderate persistent asthma, ten patients with acute exacerbated asthma and nine healthy subjects were enrolled. Sputum was induced by inhalation of hypertonic saline, and homogenized with 0.1% dithiothreitol. A total and differential cell was measured in supernatant fluid. Cell pellet was centrifuged, and ECP(supernatant ECP) was measured in supernatant fluid. Cell pellet was reacted with a cellular lysis buffer to release cell-associated ECP, and ECP(lysate ECP) was measured again in supernatant fluid. The ratio of supernatant to lysate ECP was calculated as an index of eosinophil degranulation. Spirometry and methacholine bronchial challenge tests were also performed as physiological markers of asthma. Results : The patients with acute exacerbated asthma showed significantly higher percentage of sputum neutrophil, eosinophil count, concentration of sputum supernatant ECP and ratio of supernatant to lysate ECP than those of normal controls and stable asthmatic patients(p<0.05, respectively). The level of sputum supernatant ECP, supernatant/lysate ECP ratio, and percentage of neutrophil showed negative correlations with pulmonary functions, but no correlations with a degree of bronchial hyperresponsiveness. There was no significant correlations between of serum ECP level and physiological parameters. Conclusion : These results suggest that both neutrophils and eosinophils play roles in the exacerbation of asthma. The sputum supernatant/lysate ECP ratio might be valuable in assessment of activation status of eosinophils in various hypereosinophilic conditions or diseases.

혈청 amylase는 침샘 및 췌장에서 주로 분비되는 대표적인 효소로 침샘의 염증으로 인한 침샘 기능 저하와 질병 활성도는 혈청 amylase에 영향을 미칠 가능성이 있어, 쇼그렌 증후군에서 이들의 상관관계를 분석함으로써 혈청 amylase 측정의 임상적 의의를 알아보고자 하였다. 쇼그렌 증후군으로 진단받았으나, 혈청 amylase치에 영향을 미치는 동반 질환이 없는 여자 환자 70명을 대상으로 하였으며, 비자극 침샘 유속(U-SFR)과 자극 침샘 유속(S-SFR), 침샘 스캔검사, 질병 활성도 표지자(ESSDAI와 ESSPRI), 혈액검사로 자가항체, 면역글로불린, amylase, 염증 표지자 검사를 시행하였다. 혈청 amylase치는 U-SFR 및 S-SFR과 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였으며, 침샘 스캔 검사에서 귀밑샘의 분출분획이 높을수록 혈청 amylase치가 증가하였다. 그러나, 혈청 amylase와 질병 활성도 표지자 및 염증 표지자 결과는 상관관계를 보이지 않았다. 혈청 amylase 평균치를 기준으로 두 군으로 나누어 분석한 결과, 혈청 amylase치가 높은 환자 군에서 S-SFR과 귀밑샘 분출 분획이 통계적으로 유의하게 증가되어 있었다. 결론적으로, 혈청 amylase는 침 분비능과 침샘 스캔 검사에서 귀밑샘의 분출 분획과 유의한 상관관계를 보여 쇼그렌 증후군에서 침샘 기능이 이상이 없다는 것을 시사하였다. Serum amylase is a representative enzyme secreted by the salivary gland and pancreas. This study investigates the clinical significance of serum amylase levels in Sjögren’s syndrome (SS). Totally, 70 female subjects were enrolled, who were diagnosed as SS and had no accompanying afflictions that affected the serum amylase levels. Unstimulated salivary flow rate (U-SFR) and stimulated SFR (S-SFR), salivary gland scan, and disease activity markers (ESSDAI and ESSPRI), as well as blood tests including ESR, CRP, and amylase, were evaluated. Serum amylase showed significant positive correlation with the U-SFR and S-SFR, and was increased with higher ejection fraction (EF) of the parotid gland. However, there was no significant correlation with disease activity and inflammatory markers. Based on their average amylase levels, subjects were divided into two groups. The group with higher serum amylase levels showed a statistically significant increase in the S-SFR and EF of the parotid gland. Considering the results of the salivary gland scan, we conclude that serum amylase is significantly correlated with SFR and the EF of the parotid gland, thereby indicating that the salivary gland function remains intact in SS.
