The risk of developing cardiovascular pathology and premature death from it in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in combination with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is assessed. It has been established that more than 80% of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis are regular tobacco users. Chronic tobacco intoxication leads to the formation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, affecting the course of the tuberculosis process. In patients with tuberculosis on the background of smoking and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pronounced clinical manifestations of the disease are determined, which are accompanied by a common tuberculosis process, decomposition in the lung tissue and bacterial excretion. Patients suffering from comorbid pathology revealed deep disturbances in the homeostatic balance of the body and changes in the reactivity of the body. Changes in the proteinogram were determined, with the predominance of g - и -2 fractions, an increase in C-reactive protein and fibrinogen, which confirms a pronounced systemic inflammatory response. The pathological state of homeostatic equilibrium of the body is accompanied by the development of hypoxemia, oxidative stress, systemic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction and dyslipidemia. In a third of patients, changes in the lipid profile are determined against the background of a lack of body weight, which is an unfavorable prognostic sign during chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Such phenomena contribute to the development of multifocal atherogenesis, systemic arterial hypertension, cardiac remodeling and the rapid development of cardiovascular pathology. In patients with comorbidity, changes in the electrocardiogram are characterized by remodeling of the myocardium, a change in the position of the electrical axis of the heart, overload of the right heart, hypertrophy of the left heart. These patients are characterized by a decrease in exercise tolerance, a moderate and high risk of developing cardiovascular complications and premature death from them. Identified changes are predictors of early disability and premature death of patients with tuberculosis, contribute to a decrease in the quality and life expectancy of patients.

In modern conditions, chronic tobacco intoxication and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are widespread and affect the health and life expectancy of patients. Among patients with tuberculosis, chronic tobacco intoxication and COPD are also widespread. Against the background of smoking and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in patients with tuberculosis of the respiratory system, bronchial obstruction, hypoxemia, impaired capillary pulmonary blood flow, and a decrease in the diffusion capacity of the lungs are determined. A comorbid state is accompanied by the development of oxidative stress, systemic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction. Such changes in combination with dyslipidemia contribute to the development of multifocal atherogenesis, systemic arterial hypertension and the rapid development of cardiovascular pathology

Abstrаct. The features of the course of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are considered. It was established that this pathology is widespread in patients with tuberculosis and is determined in one third of patients. Moreover, the combination of respiratory tuberculosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease have a mutual aggravating effect, and the patients serious condition can be caused by both exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and progression of the tuberculosis process. The severity of the comorbid state is associated with a decrease in adaptive-adaptive mechanisms and a violation of the state of the homeostasis of the body. Patients with a combination of pulmonary tuberculosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are characterized by intense types of adaptive reactions, with their extreme manifestations, a deep and pronounced disturbance in homeostatic balance and a decrease in the reactivity of the body. Such changes are combined with functional disorders of the respiratory system (changes in spirometric indicators, impaired airway, impaired ventilation function and diffusion capacity of lung tissue). The combined course of pulmonary tuberculosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease affects the effectiveness of the treatment and its outcome. In patients with comorbid pathology, there is a decrease in the frequency of abacillation and closure of decay cavities, the formation of pronounced residual tuberculous changes in the lungs. At the same time, in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, chronic obstructive disease has a more severe course, with a pronounced symptom complex and a high probability of frequent exacerbations. In more than half of cases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is characterized by an unfavorable course with a high risk of exacerbations, more than twice a year, which is an extremely unfavorable factor for predicting the course of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and the development of complications. Identified violations impair the quality of life of patients suffering from comorbidity. Therefore, it is diagnostically important to assess the initial state of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in patients with tuberculosis, to predict its course and the risks of exacerbations.

The aim: To evaluate the effect of overweight on the quality of life of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients GOLD III. Materials and methods: 65 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD GOLD III) were examined in different phases of pathological process. The pulmonary function (PF) test was performed by means of “SPIROKOM” device (Ukraine). The degree of overweight was determined by calculating the body mass index (BMI) using the formula І = m/h² (m – body mass in kilograms, h – height, square of the height in meters (kg/m²). Patients’ quality of life was evaluated with the help of standardized St.George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). Results: The study revealed changes in the PF indices and the decrease in quality of life in overweight patients, especially in case of destabilization of the pathological process. Conclusions: The obtained results show that overweight is the underlying condition for more severe course of the pathology and requires further study of its impact on the health and quality of life of patients in order to improve the effectiveness of treatment.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common disease involving the pathological process, of bronchopulmonary and cardiovascular systems. This is a complex disease in which inflammation plays a leading role in the formation of the whole complex of pathological changes. COPD accompanies local deficit of antiproteases, excessive formation of active forms of oxygen, inducing uncontrolled lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress. An increase in the level of proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, is particularly significant in the combination of chronic obstructive disease with metabolic syndrome. Determination of a specific phenotype of COPD, and the degree of disruption of protective and adaptive systems in these forms of the disease course allows optimizing the treatment regimens for patients. The purpose of this work was to identify additional biochemical and biophysical markers of phenotyping and monitoring of therapy in patients with COPD of different phenotype and severity level in the acute stage on the basis of studying the main indicators of the system of antioxidant protection of blood and some cytokines. Significant differences in antioxidant system (AOS) indices in patients with COPD of different phenotype and severity were determined. The established differences in the activity of erythrocyte enzymes and the overall antioxidant activity of blood plasma can serve as an important additional link for the phenotyping of COPD. Complex treatment with the use of anticoagulants, normalizing the rheological properties of blood and mucolytics with pronounced antioxidant properties, reduces the level of prooxidant load on the body due to correction of metabolic processes and has the most pronounced effect on AOS blood parameters and cytokine profile.
