본 연구를 통하여 규칙적인 수영 트레이닝이 체중의 감소를 일으켰으며(온수 및 냉수), 특히 냉수 훈련이 큰 감소를 나타내었다. 온수 훈련군에서는 $INF-\gamma$의 감소를 유발하여 림프구의 증식을 Th0에서 Th2 쪽으로 유도한다는 사실을 알 수 있었으며, 이로 인해 결핵균을 감염시켰을 경우 오히려 폐와 비장에서 결핵균의 수가 현저히 증가하는 사실을 알 수 있어, 수영 훈련군에게서의 결핵균 감염 시 대조군에 비해 균수가 현저히 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 하지만 냉수 훈련군에서는 통제군에 비해 $INF-\gamma$의 현저한 증가를 보여, 결핵균 감염 시 폐에서 결핵균 수가 감소함을 확인 할 수 있었다.
Tuberculosis is the leading infectious disease in the world. It is urgent to develop new vaccine and treating drugs. Besides vaccines, we want to know the effects of regular swim training on TB infection in the mouse model. This study was designed to examine the effects of regular swim training on lung and spleen TB counts and $INF-\gamma$ activity in the trained mice at different temperature. The trained mice underwent a 10-wk endurance swim training (5 times/wk) in water at $29\~33^{\circ}C$ (WWG) and $21\~23^{\circ}C$(CWG) for 60 min. And they were divided into 3 groups according to the regular swim training (CG; control, WWG; warm water group, and CWG; cold water group). Mice were challenged by aerosol infection with M. tuberculosis H37Rv using an inhalation device (Glas-Col, Terre Haute, Ind.) calibrated to deliver bacteria into lungs. Three weeks after immunization, the mice were challenged. Four weeks after challenge, the mice were sacrificed and the numbers of viable bacteria in lung and spleen were determined by plating serial dilution of whole organ homogenates on nutrient Middlebrook 7H11 agar (Difco, Detroit, MI). Colonies were counted after four weeks incubation at $37^{\circ}C$. All data were expressed as mean, standard deviation by using SPSS package program (win 10.0). The result through the statistical analysis of this data were summarized as follows; In the weight changes, there were significant differences among CG, WWG, and CWG following the swim training at different temperature, and CWG was the lowest. In the change of $INF-\gamma$ following the swim training, there were significant differences (p<.05) among CG, WWG, and CWG after stimulated with media and CFP. In MTB counts, there were significant differences (p<.05) between CG and WWG in the lung. And also there were significant differences (p<.05) among CG, WWG, and CWG. These results suggest that regular swim training suppress Th1 immune response caused by decreased $INF-\gamma$ level in the WWG, Also For the WWG, highly increased level of TB counts appear in the lung and spleen compare to CG.
