ABSTRACT Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a respiratory disease characterized by incomplete reversibility of airflow obstruction and persistent respiratory symptoms. Objective: To explore the therapeutic effect of physical exercise on patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in pulmonary rehabilitation. Methods: Forty-eight experimental subjects were divided into control group, experimental group 1, and experimental group 2 for research. The control group received normal medical-related treatment without any other means of intervention. In addition to normal medical-related treatment, experimental group 1 received breathing training and educational interventions and experimental group 2 received exercise, breathing training and educational interventions. Results: The vital capacity of female subjects before and during the experiment ranged from 2.23±0.01 to 2.26±0.04, the FVC ranged from 2.00±0.02 to 2.01±0.03, the FEV1 ranged from 1.03±0.01 to 1.03±0.01,the FEV1% ranged from 55.50±1.29 to 55.25±1.71,the FEV1/FVC ranged from 51.44±0.24 to 50.84±1.00, andthe heart rate ranges from 65.00±0.82 to 65.50±1.29. Conclusions: Exercise training can increase the exercise tolerance of patients with COPD, relieve dyspnea, and improve the quality of life. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment results.

Objective:To evaluate the prevalence of restless legs syndrome (RLS) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and the relationship between RLS and clinical/laboratory findings of COPD.Methods:One hundred and thirty-four COPD patients without secondary causes of RLS were included. Thirty-nine (29.1%) patients were diagnosed with RLS and classified as Group 1. The control group consisted of 65 age-matched COPD patients without RLS. Group 1 was divided into subgroups according to the Johns Hopkins Severity (JHS) scale. Patients with a score of 0, 1, or 2 were classified as JHS 0-2 and those with a score of 3 as JHS 3. Group 1 and the control group and subgroups were compared for clinical and laboratory characteristics.Results:We found that the duration of COPD was longer and that airway obstruction, hypercapnia, and hypoxia were more evident in patients with RLS than those without. Similar differences were also detected between JHS subgroups 3 (more severe) and 0-2. Polyneuropathy frequency was significantly higher in Group 1 compared to controls. However, Group 1 subgroups showed a similar frequency of polyneuropathy. In a multivariate analysis, hypercapnia made a significant independent contribution to both JHS 0-2 and JHS 3 patients when RLS severity was set as the dependent variable. Polyneuropathy and the duration of COPD were significant independent variables for patients in the JHS 3 subgroup. Polyneuropathy was the strongest predictor for the JHS 3 patients.Conclusions:We conclude that RLS is frequent in COPD, particularly in patients with severe hypoxemia/hypercapnia and in late stages of the disease.

Objectives: To evaluate the outcomes of clinical pharmacist-led medication therapy management (MTM) services for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods: Two hundred COPD patients admitted by the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of Baoding No.1 Central Hospital during January 2019 and December 2020 were randomly assigned to a control group (n =100) and an experimental group (n =100). Patients in the control group received conventional treatment, while those in the experimental group were provided with MTM services based on the conventional treatment for comparative analysis of outcome measures, including use of antibacterials during hospital stay, length of stay (LoS), costs of hospitalization (CoH), cases of adverse drug reactions (ADRs), and medication adherence (MA) and COPD assessment test (CAT) score one and six months after discharge. Results: Compared with the control group, the experimental group had reduced use of antibacterials during hospital stay, LoS, CoH, and ADR rate (P <0.05). After discharge, patients in both groups showed remarkable improvements in MA and CAT scores in comparison with their performances upon admission, and the experimental group exhibited better MA and higher CAT score than the control group, with the differences indicating statistical significance (P <0.05). Conclusion: MTM designed for COPD patients can improve pharmacist-led service quality and clinical outcomes of COPD. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.37.7.4518 How to cite this:Liu M, Liu J, Geng Z, Bai S.

With the popularization of medical knowledge and the development of medical technology, people pay more and more attention to COPD. This paper mainly studies the effect of virtual reality technology combined with comprehensive lung rehabilitation on patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. 60 patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were selected to collect their general information, such as name, gender, and age. They were divided into the experimental group and control group, 30 patients in each group. The experimental group was treated with virtual reality technology combined with lung rehabilitation, while the control group was treated with conventional rehabilitation. Patients in both groups needed medication and participated in a 30-minute disease description activity once a week. In addition, patients in the control group should walk for 20 minutes every day to monitor muscle fatigue. Breathing exercises are also carried out regularly. Patients are instructed to use their lips and abdomen for 5 minutes each time. The respiratory rate was 7 beats per minute. In addition to the routine training of the control group, the experimental group will also train the simulated bicycle for 20 minutes, which will be automatically saved on the computer after the training. After the experiment, the muscle function and motor ability of the two groups were evaluated, and the results were statistically analyzed. The total self-efficacy scores of patients before and after telemedicine technical support increased significantly (2.15 ± 0.21 before telemedicine technical support, 2.39 ± 0.20 after telemedicine technical support), and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). The results show that the application of virtual reality technology can improve the rehabilitation belief of patients and strengthen the training effect.

Aim: to conduct a comparative assessment of the hypotensive effect, as well as the effect on endothelial function, oxidative stress, and pulmonary artery pressure of chlorthalidone and hydrochlorothiazide as part of combined antihypertensive therapy in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) in combination with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Patients and Methods: the prospective study included 66 patients divided into two groups. As the main antihypertensive therapy, group 1 was prescribed with a combination of azilsartan medoxomil 40 mg and chlortalidone 12.5 mg as a fixed combination of Edarbi® CLO. Group 2 received a free combination of azilsartan medoxomil 40 mg (Edarbi®) and hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg. All patients underwent 24-hour blood pressure monitoring: (ABPM), echodopplercardiography, endothelium-dependent vasodilation, lipid peroxidation (LPO), nitric oxide metabolites, and endothelin-1 levels at baseline and after 6 months of treatment. Results: target blood pressure values (<130/80 mm Hg) were achieved in 91% of patients in group 1, and 51.5% in group 2 after 1 month of the study. After 6 months of treatment, all patients in both groups reached the target BP values, but in group 2, the dose of hydrochlorothiazide had to be increased to 25 mg. According to the ABPM data, after 6 months of treatment, group 1 showed a decrease in the morning surge in SBP by 7.0±2.1% and DBP by 10±7.3%. There was also an increase in the number of patients with the daily profile of «dipper» type to 78.8%. In group 2, there was a decrease in the morning surge in SBP by 6.3±5.9% and DBP by 4.8±4.6% after 6 months of treatment. There was an increase in the number of patients with the daily profile of «dipper» type to 36.4%. After 6 months of treatment, there was more pronounced improvement in laboratory parameters of group 1 characterizing endothelial dysfunction and oxidative stress. Statistically significant results were obtained for conjugated trienes, NO2, S, Imax, and endothelin-1 when comparing groups 1 and 2.Conclusion: treatment of AH in patients with concomitant COPD in the form of a fixed combination of azilsartan medoxomil and chlorthalidone versus free combination of azilsartan medoxomil with hydrochlorothiazide has a more pronounced antihypertensive effect, positively affecting the daily BP profile, pulmonary artery pressure, endothelial function and lipid peroxidation processes after 6 months of treatment.KEYWORDS: arterial hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, endothelial dysfunction, lipid peroxidation, azilsartan medoxomil, chlorthalidone.FOR CITATION: Grigorieva N.Yu., Samolyuk M.O., Sheshina T.V. et al.

The research achievements of artificial intelligence technology in the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were explored, and the advantages and problems encountered in the development of intelligent nursing were analyzed. This paper presents the application of artificial intelligence in the emergency care of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The method included 447 COPD patients in a randomized controlled trial to observe the improvement of quality of life at 4 and 12 months after artificial intelligence medical intervention. A prospective randomized controlled trial included 101 patients with COPD who underwent a 9-month web-based knowledge exercise on the prevention of acute exacerbation of COPD through artificial intelligence medicine and were randomly divided into two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The results show that, in the experimental group and the control group, after 4 months, the quality of life does not change; after 12 months, compared with controls, the quality of life and emotional and psychological conditions have improved obviously. 29 patients who participated in the experiment and were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group showed satisfactory results. COPD hospitalized rate and length of hospital stay were decreased in the experimental group than in the control group. For single-factor analysis, artificial intelligence medical intervention has not achieved significant significance, and the experimental results have preliminarily confirmed the effectiveness of artificial intelligence medical treatment.

Abstract BACKGROUNDThere is a high prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and atherosclerosis in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); sharing of risk factors could not be the only cause of the association.OBJECTIVESTo verify whether coronary atherosclerosis and peripheral vascular disease are independently associated with COPD in heavy smokers. We also investigated whether inflammation and poor lung function were related with atherosclerosis findings.METHODSHeavy smokers (≥ 20 pack-years) with COPD (group 1) or normal spirometry (group 2) were recruited. Clinical, laboratory, and anthropometric data were obtained. Main interest variables were prevalence of CCS > 75th percentile (P75), and rates of ABI < 0,9 by Doppler ultrasound. CVD risk was calculated using the Framingham risk score. Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) was measured, and lung function was assessed by spirometry. Differences between groups were compared using parametric and nonparametric tests as adequate.RESULTSWere included 87 patients, 49 with COPD (group 1). The mean ± SD age was 57.2 ± 6.0 years (58.7 ± 5.1 in group 1, 55.2 ± 6.6 in group 2, p=0.006). The mean FEV 1 % was 45.8 ± 17.24 vs. 91.7 ± 15.9 in groups 1 and 2, respectively; p<0.05. The mean smoking index was 48.6 ± 25.4, higher in the COPD group (p=0.037). Stratification by Framingham score yielded a similar distribution in both groups. The frequency of patients with CCS > P75 was 55% vs. 66% in groups 1 and 2, respectively (p=0.823); ABI <9.0 ocurred in 6,3% vs 2,6%, respectivelly ( p=0.555) . CCS and ABI were not associated to FEV 1 %. CRP was inversely associated with VEF 1 ( r s= -0.419; p<0.001), but unrelated to CCS ( r s= 0.136; p=0.265) and ABI ( r s= -0.51; p=0.677).CONCLUSIONSThe studied coronary and peripheral atherosclerosis markers were similar between heavy smokers with COPD and those with normal spirometry. Nor serum CRP neither poor lung function related to CCS or ABI. Our results suggest absence of a independent association between COPD and atherosclerosis.

Background/Aims Mucus hypersecretion and altered lung functions leads to adverse clinical outcomes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of the Lung Flute and threshold positive expiratory pressure devices on sputum quantity and pulmonary functions in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients. Methods A total of 50 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 used the Lung Flute device and group 2 used a threshold positive expiratory pressure device. Sputum quantity was measured post-intervention on a daily basis. Forced expiratory volume in the first second, forced vital capacity, and peak expiratory flow rate were evaluated on day 1 and day 6. Results The mean sputum quantity in group 1 was 11.40 ml and it was 11.04 ml in group 2. Between-group comparison demonstrated a significant improvement in forced expiratory volume in the first second for group 1 compared to group 2 (P<0.005). Conclusions The Lung Flute was found to be slightly more effective than the threshold positive expiratory pressure device for airway clearance and also had a positive effect on pulmonary functions in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

ABSTRACTIntroduction: The presence of anxiety and depression in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is often associated with greater disability, higher rates of exacerbations, increasedhospitalization and mortality. Many types of breathing exercises, such as Pursed Lips Breathing (PLB), Diaphragmatic Breathing (DBE), Respiratory Muscle Training (RMT), have been reported positivephysiological effects to reduces breathlessness, anxiety and depression in patients with COPD. This study aims to determine the effect in anxiety and depression after intervention of Inspiratory MuscleTraining (IMT) in COPD patients that received PLB.Methods: An experimental pre and post randomly study design, in August – September 2019. Control group and experimental group each performed PLB exercises while the experimental group got additionalIMT. To evaluate anxiety and depression status, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used.Results: Twenty subjects with COPD were recruited, no significant differences of HADS score between both groups. After 6 weeks of intervention, the HADS score in each group decreased significantly, withdelta of HADS score in experimental group was greater than the control group (p<0.05).Conclusion: Improvement of HADS scores after additional IMT was better than PLB only in COPD patients.Keywords: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; hospital anxiety and depression scale; inspiratory muscle training; pursed lips breathing.

Purpose: To understand the role of bronchoscopy in the treatment of chest CT images for patients with acute exacerbation of emphysema phenotype chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods: 89 cases with chest CT images suggesting acute exacerbation of emphysema phenotype COPD were included and divided into the experimental group and the control group according to whether underwent bronchoscopy. Arterial blood gas indexes (pH value, PaO2, PaCO2), total glucocorticoid usage, length of stay, serum inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10) before and after treatment were compared between the two groups. Results: The hospitalization time of the experimental group was significantly shorter than that of the control group (11.88 ± 8.61 d vs. 16.50 ± 12.15 d, P = 0 045); the total use of methylprednisolone test group was 213.66 ± 32.07mg, and the control group was 250.83 ± 102.55 mg. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P = 0 028). The trend of repeated analysis of variance (F = 12 11,P = 0 001) were statistically significant. PaCO2 significantly decreased before and after the test in the experimental group (49.40 14.85 mmhg vs. 43.30 12.48 mmhg, P = 0.000). Plasma TNF-α and IL-6 decreased and IL-10 increased before and after the test. TNF-α and IL-6 increased and IL-10 decreased before and after the control group test, and the changes and trends of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10 before and after the two groups were statistically different (P = 0.000). These symptoms can be analyzed using CT imaging. Conclusion: In patients with acute exacerbation of emphysema phenotype COPD who are initially ineffective, bronchoscopy, alveolar lavage, and anti-contamination brush sampling guide anti-infective treatment can improve patient ventilation, and reduce glucocorticoid consumption.
