The arylsulfatase activity and histamine concentration of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were examined in patients with bronchial asthma in relation to the eosinophil count and asthma type (atopic and non-atopic). The BALF arylsulfatase activity and histamine concentration were significantly higher in atopic asthmatics than in non-atopic asthmatics. In atopic asthmatics, the activity of arylsulfatase was significantly increased in patients with a higher eosinophil count (10% or more). However, the BALF histamine concentration did not correlate with the eosinophil count. In non-atopic asthmatics, there was no significant correlation between arylsulfatase activity and the eosinophil count. The results show that arylsulfatase participates in IgE-mediated allergic reactions.
对支气管哮喘患者的支气管肺泡灌洗液(BALF)中的芳基硫酸酯酶活性和组胺浓度进行了检测,并与嗜酸性粒细胞计数及哮喘类型(特应性和非特应性)相关联。特应性哮喘患者的BALF芳基硫酸酯酶活性和组胺浓度显著高于非特应性哮喘患者。在特应性哮喘患者中,嗜酸性粒细胞计数较高(10%或更高)的患者芳基硫酸酯酶活性显著增加。然而,BALF组胺浓度与嗜酸性粒细胞计数无关。在非特应性哮喘患者中,芳基硫酸酯酶活性与嗜酸性粒细胞计数之间无显著相关性。结果表明,芳基硫酸酯酶参与IgE介导的过敏反应。
