No results posted yet for this study

Summary

1. To investigate the difference of PE inflammation/apoptosis-associated markers between TB pleurisy and non-TB pleurisy
2. To investigate the difference of neutrophil apoptosis in exudative PE between TB pleurisy and non-TB pleurisy
3. To investigate the change of apoptosis pattern of PE neutrophil, before and after TB antigen stimulation, and compare the difference between TB pleurisy and non-TB pleurisy
4. To investigate diagnostic aid of the inflammation/apoptosis-associated markers and apoptosis pattern of PE neutrophil for tuberculous pleurisy
