Increasing The TNF - α Lev els In Nasal Lavage Liquid And Pulmonary Function D ecrease Of Rice Mill Operator E xposed To Lipopolysaccharide (LPS ) Endotoxin
Journal Title: International Journal of Scientific Research and Management - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Background: Exposure to endotoxin lipopolysaccharid e in rice dust causes the inflammationinrespiratory tractwhich is characterized by an increase in Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF - α) as well as the decline in pulmonary function of the rice mill operators. Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze t he correlated of endotoxin LPS to increased levels of TNF - α in nasal lavage liquid and pulmonary function decline of the rice mill operators. Methods: This study was designed as a prospective longitudi nal study.Dust sampling conducted during 8 hourswhile s ampling the nasal lavage fluid and pulmonary function measurements made before and after the work (cross shift). Levels of TNF - α and endotoxin LPS subsequently analyzed using ELISA method, afterwards LPS analyzed by LAL method. Pulmonary function was analy zed by spirometry. Results: The mean levels of endotoxin LPS in the dust of ricewas 56.36±5.83 EU/m3. There are enhancement in the levels of TNF - α after the work (paired - samples t test:p=0.000) in which TNF - α levels increased in all rice mill operator afte r work. FVC decline of 72.73% and 63.64% for FEV1. Pulmonary function status after the work is: normal =36.36%, obstruction and restriction =36.36% =27.27%. Level of LPS endotoxin correlated to the increase in TNF - α in nasal lavage fluid workers (multiple linear regression test:p =0.000). Endotoxin LPS correlated tothe value ΔFVC and ΔFEV1 (multiple linear regression test:p <0.05). Conclusion: Endotoxin lipopolysaccharide is a factor affecting the increase in TNF - α level in nasal lavage fluid and pulmonary function decline rice mill operator. Suggestion: Please use a rice Mill machine equipped with a dust collector. Need periodic medical examination and treatment and rest or rolling work for workers who experience respiratory problems. Workers are advised to always using masks while working
