Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Patients with hypertension (HT) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have a high risk of cardiovascular complications. Up to now, there is no optimal strategy for combined antihypertensive therapy. Still, the data of 24-hour blood pressure monitoring (BPM) are important while choosing treatment tactics. The aim of the paper is to study the features of indicators in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) and COPD. Materials and methods. 130 patients with HT were included in the study. The main group (n=90) included comorbid patients with HT and COPD, their average age was 61.30±1.01; the comparison group (n=40) consisted of patients with HT, their average age was 59.10±1.53. All patients underwent 24-hour BPM. Results. Comorbid patients revealed an increase in the mean 24-hour and night systolic and mean arterial pressure values as well as a significant increase in the load index of systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure. Also, comorbid patients demonstrated higher blood pressure in contrast to the patients of the comparison group. They had increased systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure variability and a quicker rate of morning blood pressure rise. According to 24-hour blood pressure dynamics, pathological types of the 24-hour blood pressure curve, a higher frequency of the night-peaker profile dominated in patients with COPD if compared to patients with HT. Conclusion. The obtained data indicated a high risk of cardiovascular complications in comorbid patients, early target organ damage and an unfavorable disease prognosis. It means that both further study of hypertension clinical course in such patients and personalization of antihypertensive therapy are relevant.

Пациенты с артериальной гипертензией (АГ) и хронической обструктивной болезнью легких (ХОБЛ) имеют высокий риск возникновения кардиоваскулярных осложнений. В настоящее время в лечении не определена наиболее оптимальная стратегия комбинированной антигипертензивной терапии. Для выбора тактики терапии важную роль играют показатели суточного мониторирования артериального давления (СМАД). Цель. Изучить особенности показателей СМАД у пациентов с АГ на фоне ХОБЛ. Материалы и методы. В исследование включено 130 пациентов с АГ. В основную группу (n=90) вошли пациенты с АГ и ХОБЛ (средний возраст – 61,30±1,01 года), в группу сравнения (n=40) – больные только АГ (средний возраст – 59,10±1,53 года). Всем пациентам проведено СМАД. Результаты. У пациентов с коморбидностью выявлены следующие особенности суточных показателей артериального давления: увеличение значений среднесуточных и средненочных показателей систолического и среднего артериального давления; существенное повышение индекса нагрузки систолическим, диастолическим и средним артериальным давлением. Также эти больные отличались от пациентов группы сравнения более высокими значениями пульсового давления, имели повышенную вариабельность систолического, диастолического и среднего артериального давления, у них наблюдалось увеличение скорости утреннего подъема артериального давления. Суточная динамика артериального давления у пациентов с ХОБЛ характеризовалась преобладанием патологических типов суточной кривой АД, более высокой частотой профиля night-peaker по сравнению с больными только АГ. Выводы. Выявленные особенности свидетельствуют о высоком риске сердечно-сосудистых осложнений у пациентов с коморбидностью, раннем поражении органов-мишеней и неблагоприятном прогнозе заболевания, что требует дальнейшего изучения особенностей клинического течения АГ у таких больных и индивидуализации антигипертензивной терапии. Ключевые слова: артериальная гипертензия, хроническая обструктивная болезнь легких, суточное мониторирование, артериальное давление.

The role of low-density oxidized lipoproteins (OxLDL) in the pathogenesis of occupational chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is not understood well enough.The study aims to determine the serum levels of oxidized low-density lipoproteins and their relationship with lipid profile, the level of oxidative stress and level C-reactive protein in patients with occupational chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Methods. 116 patients diagnosed with occupational COPD and 25 patients with no respiratory diseases (comparison group) were examined. Serum levels of OxLDL was determined by solid phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using the commercial reagent kit MDA-oxLDL from Biomedica Gruppe, Austria.Results. Circulating OxLDL was detected in serum in a significant proportion of patients with stable occupational COPD. In most of the patients, the concentration of OxLDL was within the values observed in the comparison group or exceeded them by no more than two times. In the minority of patients with occupational COPD (16.5%), the concentration of OxLDL was high and 4 – 10 times higher than its average value in the comparison group. It can be assumed that the revealed differences in the concentration of OxLDL are due to the different degree and intensity of oxidation of low-density lipoproteins. The relationships between OxLDL and lipid metabolism, oxidative stress (OS), the antioxidant capacity of serum (AOS), and serum levels of C-reactive protein were described.Conclusion. Serum OxLDL levels in patients with occupational COPD, the relationship between OxLDL and lipid metabolism, oxidative stress, and inflammation will provide an expanded view of the pathogenetic aspects of occupational COPD.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) are a common pathology among respiratory diseases. Both conditions may have common risk factors, aggravating each other, accom-panied by the development of bronchial obstructive syndrome, requiring mandatory medical correction to increase the effectiveness of therapy for both the main and concomitant pathologies. The aim of the study was to study the effectiveness of treatment of TB in patients with COPD first diagnosed with tuberculosis, including those associated with HIV when prescribing long-acting β2-agonists. Materials and methods. A simple com-parative study included 60 patients of a TB dispensary aged 30–65 years. Patients were divided into 2 groups of 30 people (TB+COPD and TB+COPD+HIV), each of whom for 2 months received a long-acting β-agonist (indacaterol) as an accompanying therapy for the cor-rection of bronchial obstructive syndrome (BOS), with subsequent assessment of the effectiveness of therapy. Results. Subjectively, patients of both groups noted the rapid development of positive dynamics (short-ness of breath decreased from 1–3 days of taking the drug, coughing — within a week, tolerance to physical exertion improved), which was confirmed by indica-tors of the function of external respiration (FEV1). The state of the cardiovascular system was assessed by the results of daily monitoring of blood pressure (BPM). In the COPD+TB group, there is a certain average daily systolic blood pressure (SBP) with a tendency to nor-malize indicators, which is possibly associated with a decrease in the severity of hypoxia during bronchodi-lator therapy. In the COPD+TB+HIV group, the average daily level of SBP increased by 1 mm Hg, but given the very low starting rates, the increase in blood pressure had a positive effect on the patients' condition. The average heart rate (HR) during bronchodilator thera-py did not tend to increase. The best TB treatment re-sults were obtained in the TB+COPD group. In terms of the closure rate of TB+COPD decay cavities — 26.6%, TB+COPD+HIV — 20.0%), the TB+COPD+HIV group had longer periods of abacillation and closure of decay cav-ities, which is associa ted with the severity of the under-lying and associated diseases. The drug was well toler-ated in both groups. Conclusion. The use of 300 mcg long-acting β-adrenomimetics in the complex therapy of β2-adrenergic agonists for patients with TB+COPD and TB+ COPD+HIV can reduce the severity of bronchial obstruction syndrome, improve quality of life, increase adherence to TB treatment, thereby shortening hospi-talization and reduce the likelihood of disability of pa-tients, without the development of side effects from other organs and systems.

Rationale/Objective: The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) health survey has been used to describe the epidemiology of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the US. Through addressing respiratory symptoms and tobacco use, it could also be used to characterize COPD risk. Methods: Four US states added questions to the 2015 BRFSS regarding productive cough, shortness of breath, dyspnea on exertion, and tobacco duration. We determined COPD risk categories: provider-diagnosed COPD as self-report, high-risk for COPD as ≥10 years tobacco smoking and at least one significant respiratory symptom, and low risk was neither diagnosed COPD nor high risk. Disease burden was defined by respiratory symptoms and health impairments. Data were analyzed using multiple logistic regression models with age as a covariate. Results: Among 35,722 adults ≥18 years, the overall prevalence of COPD and high-risk for COPD were 6.6% and 5.1%. Differences among COPD risk groups were evident based on gender, race, age, geography, tobacco use, health impairments, and respiratory symptoms. Risk for disease was seen early where 3.75% of 25–34 years-old met high-risk criteria. Longer tobacco duration was associated with an increased prevalence of COPD, particularly >20 years. Seventy-nine percent of persons ≥45 years-old with frequent shortness of breath (SOB) reported having or being at risk of COPD, reflecting disease burden. Conclusion: These data, representing nearly 18% of US adults, indicates those at high risk for COPD share many, but not all of the characteristics of persons diagnosed with the disease and demonstrates the value of the BRFSS as a tool to define lung health at a population level.

Background and aims: Patients discharged after treatment for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are at high risk for readmission. We aimed to identify the prevalence and risk factors for readmission. Methods: We included 16,105 patients who had claimed their medical expenses from 1 May 2014 to 1 May 2016 after discharge from any medical facility in Korea, following treatment for acute exacerbation of COPD. We analysed the potential risk factors for readmission within 30 days of discharge. Results: Readmission rate was 26.4% (3989 patients among 15,101 patients) and over 50% of readmissions occurred within 10 days of discharge. Approximately 57% of readmissions occurred due to respiratory causes. Major causes of readmission were COPD (27%), pneumonia (14.2%), and lung cancer (7.1%), in that order. Patients who were readmitted were male, had more comorbidities and were less frequently admitted to tertiary hospitals than those who were not readmitted. Risk factors for readmission within 30 days of discharge were male sex, medical aid coverage, longer hospital stay, longer duration of systemic steroid use during hospital stay, high comorbid condition index, and discharge to skilled nursing facility. Conclusion: Readmission occurred in approximately one-quarter of patients, and was associated with patient-related and clinical factors. Using these results, we can identify high-risk patients for readmission and precautions are needed to be taken before deciding on a discharge plan. Further research is needed to develop accurate tools for predicting the risk of readmission before discharge, and development and evaluation of an effective care programme for COPD patients are necessary.

Aim. To evaluate the efficiency of decimeter wave therapy and halotherapy, which were additionally added to basic therapy, in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) concurrent with hypertension at the inpatient stage. Subject and methods. 36 patients aged 20 to 75 years with Stages I—II COPD concurrent with Stages I—II, first-second grade hypertension were examined and treated. The clinical examination included collection of complaints and medical history data, clinical laboratory and instrumental (electrocardiography, spirography) studies, and health-related quality of life (using the SF-36 questionnaire). The patients were randomized into two groups: a study group and a comparison group. The study group patients received decimeter wave therapy and halotherapy in addition to basic drug treatment; the comparison patients had basic drug therapy. Results. Pre- and postoperative comparative analysis of the major clinical manifestations of comorbidities revealed more pronounced positive changes with the lower rate of clinical manifestations in the study group. It was also observed to have a more marked reduction in blood pressure (BP) with its goal levels achieved. The mean pulse BP decreased by 28% in the study group (p=0.000005) and did not statistically reduced in the comparison group. In the study group patients, the integral quality-of-life indicator after a package of medical rehabilitation measures became statistically significantly higher by 35%. This indicator in the comparison group was statistically significantly unchanged. Conclusion. The directionality of the proposed rehabilitation complex towards the common pathogenetic components of the development and progression of COPD and hypertension, as well as the high efficiency of the complex justify its appropriate inclusion in the combination treatment and rehabilitation of this category of patients.
