Objective: To study the correlation between 18fluorine deoxyglucose ( F-FDG) positron emission tomography/ computerized tomography(PET/CT) scan and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)in patients with thoracic sarcoidosis, and explore the mechanism of 18F-FDG uptake in sarcoidosis. Methods: Nineteen patients with thoracic sarcoidosis underwent18F-FDG PET/CT scan and BALF. The CD4 + /CD8 + T cell ratio and serum angiotensin converting enzyme ( sACE ) , tumor necrosis factor-α ( TNF-α) and soluble interleukin-2 receptor ( sIL-2R) levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were detected. F-FDG PET/CT scan was semi-quantitatively analyzed by maximum standardized uptake value ( SUVmax) and mean standardized uptake value ( SUVmean). The correlation between SUVmax, SUVmean, CD4+/CD8 + T cell ratio, sACE, TNF-α and sIL-2R levels was also analyzed. Results: SUVmax was significantly correlated to SUVmean( P < 0. 01 ) . SUVmax was significantly correlated to sACE ( P < 0. 01) and TNF-α ( P < 0. 01 ) , respectively; SUVmean was also significantly correlated to sACE ( P < 0. 01 ) and TNF-α ( P < 0. 01 ) , respectively. SUVmean was correlated to CD4 + /CD8+ T cell ratio (P <0. 05 ). Conclusions: The 18F-FDG uptake capacity is high in high load of sarcoidosis granuloma; its ability to 18F-FDG uptake may be associated with T cell activation. SUVmean may be superior to SUVmax in determining the activity of sarcoidosis.%目的:了解胸内结节病18氟-脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层显像/计算机断层扫描(18F-FDG PET/CT)检查与支气管肺泡灌洗液检查(BALF)相关性,探讨结节病摄取18F-FDG机制.方法:19例病理确诊胸内结节病患者行18F-FDG PET/CT检查及BALF,检测CD4+/CD8+ T细胞比值和血清血管紧张素转化酶(sACE)、肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)及可溶性白细胞介素-2受体(sIL-2R)含量,18F-FDG PET/CT用最大标准摄取值(SUVmax)和平均标准摄取值(SUVmean)半定量分析,并分别分析SUVmax和SUVmean与CD4+/CD8+ T细胞比值和sACE、TNF-α及sIL-2R含量相关性.结果:SUVmax和SUVmean之间有显著相关关系(P<0.01);SUVmax与sACE及TNF-α之间均有显著相关关系(P<0.01);SUVmean与sACE及TNF-α之间也均有显著相关关系(P<0.01);SUVmean与CD4+/CD8+ T之间有相关关系(P<0.05).结论:结节病肉芽肿负荷高者,摄取18F-FDG能力也高;其摄取18F-FDG能力可能与T细胞活化相关.SUVmean判定结节病活动性可能优于SUVmax.
