Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have previously determined the impact of pneumonectomy with respect to injury in the remaining lung using a murine model. In the present study, we investigated the profiles of inflammatory mediators on a canine pneumonectomy model. Animals received left pneumonectomy under general anesthesia. Epithelial lining fluid (ELF) was collected in the residual right lungs by microsampling technique up to 5 hours after pneumonectomy. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha concentration in ELF was lower than detection limit in the baseline, but increased to 214±11 pg/ml after pneumonectomy. Interleukin (IL)-1 beta concentration was 864±142 pg/mlin the baseline, but also increased to 2928±1447 pg/ml. Interferon (IFN)-gamma concentration was 310±142 pg/ml in the baselin, but increased to 689±384 pg/ml. It was suggested pneumonectomy itself may cause occult lung injury in the canine model. TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta, and IFN-gamma might be involved in the pathogenesis of the occult lung injury.
