[Research progress of thyroid hormone in pulmonary fibrosis].

Pulmonary fibrosis is end-stage of variety of heterogeneous interstitial lung disease, characterizedby excessive proliferation of fibroblasts and extracellular matrix deposition and destruction of lung parenchyma. Thyroid and lung are derived from the same endodermal cells, thyroid hormone affect the occurrence、development and prognosis of the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer and other lung diseases, This article reviews the role and mechanism of thyroid hormone in pulmonary fibrosis in order to provide new idea for the study of the role and mechanism of thyroid hormone in silicosis.肺纤维化是多种异质性肺间质疾病的终末期，以肌成纤维细胞的过度增殖、细胞外基质的沉积和肺实质的破坏为特征。甲状腺和肺来源于同一内胚层细胞，甲状腺激素影响慢性阻塞性肺疾病、肺癌等多种肺疾病的发生、发展和预后。本文就甲状腺激素在肺纤维化的作用和机制进行综述，以期为甲状腺激素在矽肺中的作用和机制研究提供新思路。.
